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."
