Chapter 230 The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Sasuke cried after being beaten!
The noise by the sandpit continued, and when Zilong heard that Sasuke was bullying Xingchi, he became somewhat unhappy.
He strode up to the two of them and stood in front of Xingchi, saying, "Brother Sasuke, you can't bully Brother Xingchi! Brother Xingchi just hasn't awakened his talent yet, you shouldn't laugh at him!"
Sasuke was already resentful because his father praised Stephen Chow, and when he was contradicted by Shiryu, he became even angrier.
He stood with his hands on his hips and retorted, "When did I bully him? We were just talking about the competition! Mind your own business!"
Zilong didn't back down either, clenching his little fists: "You're bullying me! If you've got the guts, have a match with me! We haven't sparred in ages, let's see who's stronger!"
Sasuke's eyes lit up; he had long wanted to spar with Shiryu!
"Let's have a match! Who's afraid of who! Zilong, don't cry if you lose!"
The two quickly walked to the open space in the courtyard. Bai Qi, Kikyo, Shion, Seichi, and Karin rushed over to watch. Even Mei Terumi, who was pushing a stroller, stopped and watched the two children compete with a smile.
Uchiha Sanfeng and several queens also walked over from the pavilion and stood not far away, ready to watch the children spar.
It allows them to vent their emotions and also lets them see how they grow.
"Shiryu, I'll make the first move!"
Sasuke was the first to form hand seals, his small hands rapidly changing positions: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A ball of flame, 3 meters in diameter, spewed from his mouth, carrying a scorching heat, and flew towards the Purple Dragon.
Zilong remained calm and composed, slightly separating his feet and nimbly dodging to the side.
The fireball flew far away from him and landed on the sand in the distance.
"This move is too slow!"
Zilong said with a smile, without stopping at all.
Sasuke's expression darkened, and he increased the speed of his hand seals: "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
Dozens of small fireballs, like a meteor shower, hurtled towards Zilong, covering all the directions around him where he could dodge.
But Zilong still didn't form any hand seals. Instead, he took a deep breath and his body suddenly started spinning.
His movements became faster and faster, and the hem of his blue robe formed a blur as it spun, like a whirlwind, blocking all the incoming fireballs.
"Physical Techniques: Leaf Dragon God!"
With a crisp shout, the swirling air currents even blew the small fireball in the opposite direction, causing it to fall to the ground and extinguish.
"How could that be? Teacher Chen taught you that trick!"
Sasuke's eyes widened; he hadn't expected his Phoenix Flame to be so easily countered by taijutsu.
He gritted his teeth and began forming more complex hand seals: "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
A fire dragon flew out of his mouth, its body wreathed in flames. It was thicker and faster than the Great Fireball, and it rushed straight at the Purple Dragon.
Before the purple dragon could stop spinning, the aura of the Leaf Dragon God grew stronger and stronger. He aimed at the direction from which the fire dragon was coming and suddenly changed his spinning trajectory. Like a bolt of blue lightning, he passed through the middle of the fire dragon and extinguished it directly.
"Sasuke-nii-san, you have to be careful!"
Shiryu stopped spinning, pushed off with his feet, and charged towards Sasuke like an arrow.
Sasuke instinctively stepped back, his hands rapidly forming hand seals: "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"
This was the strongest B-rank fire technique he could currently master. A huge fire dragon flew out with a roar, and the temperature was so high that everyone around him took a slight step back.
Everyone thought that Zilong would dodge, but he still charged straight at him.
"Bang!" The powerful dragon fire crashed hard into the Leaf Dragon God, and the flames and tornado instantly became entangled, transforming into a dragon fire tornado, before slowly extinguishing.
Uchiha Mitsunori, with his arm around Mikoto, smiled and said, "Sasuke is only 7 years old, yet he already has the strength of a Chunin!"
Uchiha Mikoto said coquettishly, "Husband, please don't do this, the children are all here!"
"impossible!"
Sasuke panicked completely; he hadn't expected that even his B-rank ninjutsu couldn't harm Shiryu.
In a moment of desperation, he instantly activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and rushed over.
Shiryu stopped what he was doing: "Sasuke-nii, are you going to use the Sharingan? Then I'll get serious too!"
Sasuke stared intently at Shiryu's movements, his Sharingan rapidly capturing every subtle gesture, attempting to predict his attacks.
However, Shiryu's taijutsu was exceptionally agile, and the explosive power brought by the Thousand Hands Sage Body made it difficult for Sasuke to dodge.
"Bang......"
Seizing an opening in Sasuke's defenses, Shiryu lightly punched him in the shoulder.
Sasuke staggered back a few steps, and before he could regain his balance, Shiryu quickly stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and gave him a gentle push, causing Sasuke to fall to the ground.
"I actually lost?"
Sasuke sat on the ground, looking at his hands, unable to believe that he had lost.
He clearly had a two-tomoe Sharingan and used so many Fire Release ninjutsu, yet he was easily defeated by Shiryu using taijutsu.
Shiryu quickly stepped forward and reached out to help him up: "Sasuke-nii-san, I didn't mean to..."
But Sasuke shook off his hand, his eyes instantly reddening. He suddenly stood up from the ground, turned around, and ran towards the direction of the Three Peaks.
He threw himself into Mitsufumi's arms and burst into tears, crying, "Daddy! I lost! I already have a two-tomoe Sharingan, so why can't I beat Shiryu? Am I just too useless?"
Uchiha Mitsunori crouched down and cupped Sasuke's face in his hands: "Although you have the two-tomoe Sharingan and dynamic vision, you're only seven years old. Your body isn't fully developed yet, so you can't unleash the full power of the two-tomoe Sharingan. For example, you predicted Shiryu's movements just now, but because you couldn't keep up with his speed, you were easily defeated!"
Sasuke stopped crying and nodded with teary eyes, "But... Shiryu is younger than me, so why is his body so strong?"
Uchiha Mitsumine smiled and ruffled his hair: "Because of the Senju clan's Sage Body, their physique is naturally stronger than that of ordinary ninjas. Their strength, speed, and defense far surpass those of their peers. This is his innate advantage."
He changed the subject slightly, his tone becoming more serious: "But Sasuke, I have something to say to you. Haven't you been a bit too arrogant lately?"
Sasuke Uchiha was stunned, his eyes darting away, unable to meet his gaze.
Uchiha Mitsunori gently grasped his shoulder: "Sasuke, you have the Sharingan, and your father is proud of you. But you can't laugh at Stephen Chow for not awakening the Sharingan just because you have talent, and you can't think that you are necessarily better than others."
Sasuke lowered his head and muttered softly, "I... I just wanted to prove to you that I'm really good..."
Sanfeng said gently, "Look at Zilong. He has the talent of a celestial body, yet he has never mocked anyone and even spoke up for Xingchi. You are brothers by blood; you should support each other, not compare and ridicule one another."
Sasuke was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "Dad, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have laughed at Stephen Chow..."
