Under Sōseki's increasingly violent offensive, Shūnen is still
walking in a leisurely manner, just waving the kunai in his hand at will, and
he can easily deflect the shuriken from all directions.
Then, step by step, he is approaching Sōseki.
"Before this eye, all your efforts are useless. This is the
true glory of the Uchiha Clan, and it is the gap that you ordinary persons will
never be able to catch up! As a Medical-nin, how are you going to deal with my
close attack?"
In Shūnen’s view, although his Taijutsu is not very good,
dealing with a Medical-nin won’t be too much of a problem.
After all, he had seen Sōseki's battle two months ago, and his
opponent's Taijutsu was far behind him.
The only thing worth paying attention to is the slightly
troublesome Medical Ninjutsu.
However, Sōseki sighed helplessly, "Shūnen, has anyone told
you that you are...rambling too much!"
Then, under Shūnen’s disbelief expression, Sōseki swiftly
approached, and hit Shūnen’s abdomen with a knee strike, knocking him directly
into the air.
Struggling to endure the pain of vomiting out his stomach’s
content, Shūnen struggled to get up, and shouted in grief and indignation,
"Why... you are a Medical-nin, but why can you still good at
Taijutsu?"
Sōseki pondered for a moment and said, "As a Medical-nin,
isn’t it reasonable for me to learn Taijutsu to protect myself?"
Of course he wouldn't give up Taijutsu training. After all, he has
always coveted Tsunade’s Chakra Enhanced Strength.
As for his previous poor Taijutsu, it was entirely because he
didn't have a teacher to guide him. When it comes to the body, he doesn't dare
to train recklessly.
After becoming "best friend" with Asuma, he naturally
gets the guidance from Asuma’s teacher.
Although the Okawa Takeuchi is only a Tokubetsu Jōnin, he is
indeed very capable in the field of systematic teaching. At least, he managed
to temporarily make up for the shortcomings of his Taijutsu.
Shūnen shouted aggrievedly, "But...but your Taijutsu two
months ago is obviously not as good as mine!"
Sōseki nodded and then said as if it is a matter of course,
"Yes, but isn't that what happened two months ago!"
‘That Uzumaki Naruto can reach Six Paths’ level of strength in
just one year, so for me, Shimizu Sōseki, improving a little bit of Taijutsu in
two months is not a problem.’
Shūnen’s face showed a question mark, ‘Although information indeed
has a time limit, isn’t it expired too quickly? It’s just two months after
all.’
‘If it's at his pace, wouldn't it... If I fight him again in two
days, wouldn’t I directly defeated?’ Thinking of this possibility, Shūnen subconscious
shuddered.
‘In other words, this is my only chance to defeat him?’
‘There is nothing to be afraid of, it's just Taijutsu. At least,
his Genjutsu is already...probably didn’t work against me, who has a Sharingan
now, right?’
Shūnen didn't dare to think about it any longer. He was a little
scared, worried that if he thought about it like this, he would not even have
the courage to fight anymore.
Clone Technique!
Shūnen quickly formed hand seals and creates five clones to
surround Sōseki.
However, Sōseki attacked one of them without hesitation,
ignoring the attacks from the other "Shūnen".
‘As expected, this guy's perception is too strong!’ Shūnen
scolded inwardly, not daring to pretend any more. While holding the kunai in
his right hand and stabbing towards Sōseki, his left hand secretly touched a
ball of steel wire.
Sōseki tilted his head slightly to avoid the attack, and hit
Shūnen’s chest with an elbow.
‘Now!’ Shūnen didn't dodge, but forcibly endured it. Enduring
the intense pain from his chest, the ball of steel wire in his left hand
entangled towards Sōseki.
Then—— “Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!”
The flame spread quickly across the steel wire until it
completely swallowed Sōseki.
"This level of attack is far from enough." Shūnen, who
had watched the battle two months ago, naturally understood that the opponent's
use of Three Bodies Technique was also very difficult to deal with.
Just as Shūnen was looking for flaws and preparing for the next
round of attacks.
The hot flame dissipated, and a charred corpse fell heavily to
the ground.
Shūnen: "???"
Shūnen only felt that his IQ had been severely insulted, as he
didn't believe that his opponent would be killed by this level of attack.
‘Wait, is it his Genjutsu again?’ Shūnen was alert, and then
suddenly those noisy voices rang in his ears.
"He’s lost, it's boring."
"This is the noble Uchiha Clan? It's so funny!"
Hearing this, Shūnen felt annoyed, "Damn, I’ve been hit a Genjutsu
again, I need to wake up quickly!"
But at this moment, the charred corpse on the ground suddenly
rushed towards him.
Then, before Shūnen could react, a familiar cold feeling appears
on his neck.
Shūnen asked in a daze, "Wait, isn't it Genjutsu just now?"
Sōseki chuckled and retracted the Kunai, "My 'corpse' is
not, but the voices you heard are."
‘It turned out that it was sound Genjutsu this time...’ Shūnen subconscious
opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and knelt on the ground as if he had
been drained of energy.
"I lost. I, who owns Sharingan, would actually lose to an
ordinary person. The glory of the Uchiha Clan is completely lost in my
hands!"
He didn't even dare to look up, or look at the people around him.
He only felt that there were countless eyes full of ridicule and maliciousness behind
him.
Sōseki was walking away, but when he heard Shūnen’s words, he
stopped, "Glory will not disappear just because of a defeat in a battle. In
my opinion, the glory in your mouth is already lost as early as the first time
you bullied the weak."
Shūnen suddenly raised his head, looked at Soseki and shouted
hysterically, "What do you know! It’s because of my hard work that no one
in the Academy dared to speak ill of the Uchiha!"
Sōseki looked at the other party with calm and pure gaze,
"Do you really think so?"
For some reason, Shūnen did not dare to look directly at the other
party’s eyes for a while and then asked in a lack of confidence, "Yes, is
there any problem?"
The corner of Sōseki's mouth rose slightly, ‘This guy is really
young and inexperienced.’
"If you really think like this, you won’t be confused by my
Genjutsu. It’s because you know that they don’t recognize you in their hearts
at all, even your so-called "companions" are talking bad things about
the Uchiha behind your back. That’s why you are afraid that this lie will be
exposed."
"No, no! They are obviously all afraid of me, and they all
fear Uchiha's name!"
"This is just a lie you weaved yourself, a dream you used
to deceive yourself. Could it be that Uchiha needs to rely on lies to numb their
clan?"
Hearing this, even Shūnen himself was at a loss, " Could it
be that I really have been lying to myself all this time?"
Seeing that Shūnen has been beaten to the subversion of his worldview,
and he looks like he is almost broken, Sōseki felt that he could almost stop
now.
"At the very least, I definitely don't believe that
eliminating arrogance and prejudice can be achieved by violence."
Shūnen subconscious asked, "Then, what should I do?"
"Do you love your family?"
Although a little ashamed, Shūnen, who is now in a brainwashed
state, still nodded, "Love."
"Then does your family love you?"
"Love."
Sōseki then said earnestly, "Goodwill is always mutual. If
you don’t even love this world, why would you ask the world to love you? If it
is still not enough, add more time, as time will prove it all."
Being brainwashed by Sōseki’s words, Shūnen only felt that whole
body is healed and sublimated.
Seeing Sōseki turned and left, Shūnen shouted, "I know, I will
try my best to change all of this!"
Sōseki didn't stop this time, and just waved his hand,
"Before that, go and ask them to forgive you for what you've done before."
