Chapter 42 Hate yourself for not having these eyes!
Walk through the deep corridor.
It is a spacious courtyard with only one old tree.
Looking at Uchiha Ike's figure standing under the tree.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha loosened his clenched fist slightly.
He originally thought that Uchiha Ike had lured him in so that he could hide in the room and strike under the cover of darkness.
So he wasn't going to follow.
The other party actually questioned his magnanimity...
Behind him is the Konoha Police Force, representing order.
No one can look down on the guard, not even their own people.
Therefore, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha made up his mind to follow.
Even if he was ambushed, he was determined to prove his worth to this greenhorn!
But now, he has successfully arrived in the courtyard... and nothing has happened.
"Heh!" The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha crossed his arms and sneered, "You didn't launch a sneak attack, so you do have some Uchiha magnanimity."
I heard Uchiha Hachimoku's voice.
Uchiha Ike, who was gazing at the sky from under the tree, turned around and looked back.
When he saw Uchiha Hachimoku standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
His gaze remained calm, but a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"I didn't expect you to actually come along. Is this the magnanimity of the security force?"
"Of course!"
Uchiha Hachigai's expression was serious, but he couldn't help but smile: "This is my magnanimity!"
"You brat, if you don't want to suffer, you'd better come with me to the security station..."
"But that's not your magnanimity." Uchiha Ike shook his head, interrupting him, and said seriously, "That's the magnanimity of the security force."
The Eighth Hokage frowned, not understanding what Uchiha Ike was trying to say: "What's the difference?"
"Of course it's different." Uchiha Ike patiently explained, "Actually, as an individual, you didn't want to follow, otherwise you wouldn't have taken so long to get here."
"It is precisely because you considered your identity as a member of the security force and did not want to damage the reputation of the security force that you chose to come to the courtyard with me after much hesitation."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha remained silent for a few seconds.
Uchiha Ike was right; he personally did not want to come.
But what's the point of distinguishing between them?
"So what?" Uchiha Yatsuhoshi asked coldly, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"So this isn't about your magnanimity, but rather the magnanimity of the security force."
Despite the Eighth Hokage's impatience, Ike Uchiha showed no dissatisfaction.
He was like a good teacher who cared about the feelings of struggling students, with a smile on his face, deliberately slowing down his speech, and patiently explaining the knowledge points that the struggling students could not understand.
However, looking at Uchiha Ike's gentle expression, Uchiha Yatsushiro felt even more irritated.
Because of that look, he couldn't help but recall the days when he was a child in the Uchiha clan school, when he was given special care by his teacher.
Back then, his teacher had the same expression as Uchiha Ike, correcting his wrong arithmetic problems over and over again.
"Yashiro, your primary goal right now is to remember the difference between the plus sign and the multiplication sign. Three plus three doesn't equal six. We're learning addition now, not multiplication..."
"What? You filled in 6 because you didn't know how to write 5? Then why did you calculate '6-1=5' in the next question?"
"What? You're saying it's not five but four? Oh no..."
"Ahem... It's okay, we'll learn slowly."
Even more than twenty years later, Uchiha Yatsumo could still recall his teacher's amazing expression at the time, which is why he felt particularly aggrieved now.
What's the use of learning knowledge?
In the end, he still died on the battlefield, which meant he had to sweep an extra grave every year.
"What are you babbling about? I don't care what you're saying!" Uchiha Yatsuho glared at Uchiha Ike, raising his fist angrily. "Stop giving me that nonsense! I only believe in the power principle!"
"I see, I understand."
Uchiha Ike sighed slightly with regret: "Since you won't listen to reason..."
The next second, a cloud of dust rose from beneath his feet, and he moved as if springy, appearing before Uchiha Hachimoku in the blink of an eye.
"I also know a little bit about martial arts."
He concentrated all his strength into his right fist and, with a fierce punch, aimed straight at Uchiha Hachidai's face.
"That trick again!"
Uchiha Hachimoku cursed under his breath, knowing he couldn't take the punch head-on, and quickly lowered his body with his knees.
Dodging the fist that was about to hit him, he immediately leaped backward, creating distance between himself and Uchiha Ike, while his hands rapidly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
With a loud shout, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha unleashed a scorching fireball from his mouth, which hurtled toward Uchiha Ike.
However, almost the instant he opened his mouth, he heard a loud shout from the other side.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
In the empty courtyard, two fireballs converged and collided from different directions, splashing up layers of brilliant sparks that instantly illuminated the surrounding walls!
What an incredibly arrogant brat...
He's been a Jonin for almost ten years, while this Uchiha Ike graduated less than a month ago, yet he dares to use the same ninjutsu against him?
What arrogance!
Uchiha Hachimoku sneered inwardly and silently accelerated the flow of chakra, causing the fireball to grow even larger in an instant.
He was prepared to suppress Uchiha Ike on the other side by force.
However...
The opponent's fireball remained motionless, showing no signs of retreat.
What's going on here?
A hint of confusion flashed in Uchiha Yatsuho's eyes, but he stubbornly sent another burst of chakra down his throat.
As a result, the fire on the other side suddenly flared up, and the fireball expanded to be taller than the house behind him, crashing towards him like a wave!
"What!?"
boom--
There was no time to express any more surprise.
With the ancient, lush trees serving as a dividing line, the raging fire engulfed half of the courtyard!
Sizzle...
The fire burned through the entire plot of land, and thick black smoke covered everything.
Snap, snap...
The sound of leisurely footsteps rang out, and Uchiha Ike strolled back to the tree.
"My courtyard uses high-quality turf exported from the Land of Grass, costing an average of 50,000 taels per square meter. This place is at least 100 square meters..."
"Senior Hachidai, if you're still alive, remember to pay back the five million taels in time, otherwise my interest will be very high... Oh, by the way."
He looked in the direction of the billowing smoke, held up one finger, and said with a warm smile, "I don't accept invoices, only cash..."
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three shuriken flew out of the smoke, interrupting Uchiha Ike's words.
Soldiers, soldiers, soldiers!
Uchiha Ike pulled a kunai from his waist and knocked all three shuriken away.
At the same time, a chilling growl echoed from within the smoke.
"You brat...you're asking for it!"
The moment the words fell, two red lights flashed in the smoke, and in the next instant, a dark figure rushed out of the thick smoke—it was the charred Uchiha Eighth Hokage.
His eyes swirled wildly with the three tomoe, a ferocious smile twisting his lips. In an instant, he appeared beside Uchiha Ike, his kunai twirling and dancing in his hand.
Clang, clang, clang...
The clanging of metal echoed throughout the courtyard as the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha grew stronger with each fight!
With the added benefit of his dynamic vision enhanced by the three-tomoe gem, he easily dodged all of Uchiha Ike's attacks this time.
Thrust, slash, flick, chop – the fluid movements were like an overwhelming tide, and within a few breaths, they completely suppressed Uchiha Ike!
"What's the point of explaining all that reasoning?"
What's the use of being proficient in ninjutsu?
"Hate yourself for not having these eyes!"
With a roaring rage.
With a maniacal laugh, the Eighth Hokage gripped the handle of his kunai and unleashed a final, extremely tricky strike at Uchiha Ike!
Ding--
Block out the rapidly expanding kunai in your eyes.
Uchiha Ike tilted his head slightly and smiled as he looked at the surprised Uchiha Yatsuhoku.
"Three tomoe, huh? That's impressive..."
"But... I have one too!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Ike stopped hiding his presence, his aura surged, and the tomoe in his eyes began to swirl rapidly!
One magatama, two magatama... three magatama!
Looking at Uchiha Yatsuhoku, whose eyes were frozen in place.
"Hahahaha...hahahahahahahaha!"
Uchiha Ike let out an even more arrogant laugh than his opponent had just had!
P.S.: I originally wanted to break the chapter and put the last 400 words in the second chapter, but it didn't look right no matter how I broke it, so I put it back...
