Itachi Uchiha

"Bang!"

The Shadow Shuriken shot out, and Yasuke used his newly developed technique to secure a perfect victory!

With the Shadow Shuriken's binding ability, the just-finished sealing Uchiha Yuna took a deep breath, preparing to use the Uchiha clan's signature technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

However, the shuriken suddenly shot out from Yasuke's hand, carrying the binding power of the Shadow Stitching Technique. It nailed Yuna's shadow, immobilizing him. The interruption caused a backlash, and blood spurted from his mouth.

"Yuna!"

Seeing Yuna cough up blood, Uchiha Kin, Uchiha Gin, and Uchiha Hi were all alarmed, clearly very concerned for their comrade's safety.

But as the three Uchiha new generation elites focused on Yuna, Yasuke suddenly changed his hand seals again!

"Shadow Strangulation Technique!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

With another shift in his hand seals, the shadows under Kin, Gin, and Hi suddenly transformed. Dark shadowy hands climbed up, gripping the necks of the three Uchiha elites, making their faces turn a deep purple.

Just a bit more pressure, and these three Uchiha new generation elites would undoubtedly meet a tragic end!

However, who was paying attention to the four unfortunate Uchiha clan members at this moment?

All eyes, including Shikaku's, were on Yasuke when Yuna coughed up blood.

Three rounds, and Yasuke had taken down four Uchiha new generation elites. What an astonishing feat!

Even Shikaku hadn't imagined that four-year-old Yasuke could defeat four Uchiha elites solely with the Nara clan's secret techniques. When Yasuke achieved this perfect victory, everyone fell silent, especially those who had doubted him, feeling the sting of their mistake.

Only Uchiha Fugaku's expression constantly shifted, his gaze toward Yasuke growing increasingly hostile.

But as Fugaku suppressed his anger, knowing he couldn't publicly attack Yasuke, Shikaku's exclamation broke the silence.

"Yasuke! That technique you just used, did you invent it yourself?"

"Oh? The Shadow Shuriken? Yes, Uncle Shikaku, I invented it myself!"

Smiling at Shikaku, Yasuke, having used the Shadow Shuriken in battle, openly admitted, "Uncle Shikaku, isn't my new technique impressive?"

"Impressive? It's perfect!"

"Yasuke, come with me to the clan immediately. I must report your invention to the elders! Hurry!"

The dialogue between Yasuke and Shikaku echoed through Hizashi's residence.

Upon learning that four-year-old Yasuke could improve the Nara clan's secret techniques and invent new ones, Hizashi, Choza, Inoichi, and others felt as if they were dreaming!

When did even four-year-olds start improving clan techniques and inventing new ones?

In the original story, Kakashi Hatake was a prodigy, yet he developed new techniques at the age of twelve!

At this moment, Yasuke inventing new techniques at four made even the Nara clan's leader lose his composure. The elite of many clans viewed him as a prodigy!

The Nara clan was destined to rise!

Almost all the clan elites instantly shared this thought.

However, Yasuke maintained a calm smile and then turned to Uchiha Fugaku, asking, "Uncle Shikaku, please wait a moment. We still have unfinished business."

With an ever-growing smile, Yasuke addressed Fugaku, "Lord Fugaku, should you hand over the bet now?"

"Hmph!"

A cold snort escaped. The better Yasuke performed, the more talented he showed, the angrier Uchiha Fugaku became.

However, learning that Yasuke could invent new techniques changed Fugaku's attitude.

Before knowing about Yasuke's inventions, Fugaku resented Yasuke for embarrassing him. After learning about them, Fugaku felt more frustration toward his own clan for being unable to defeat Yasuke and not matching his talent.

For the sake of the clan's honor, Fugaku had to fulfill the bet.

Receiving a scroll from a clansman, Fugaku tossed it to Yasuke, forcing a smile. "Yasuke, this is our Uchiha clan's secret shuriken training scroll. It's yours. I hope our Uchiha secret techniques will shine in your hands and not disgrace our name."

"Don't worry, Lord Fugaku, I won't disappoint you!"

With his Shadow Shuriken technique, Yasuke had been eager to train with shuriken and uncover the true essence of his new technique. Fugaku's scroll was a timely gift, solving Yasuke's dilemma. Happily accepting the scroll, Yasuke planned to follow Shikaku back to the clan to earn some benefits from the new technique and then diligently train with the Uchiha secret arts.

However, as Yasuke approached Shikaku, ready for him to bid farewell to Hizashi and return to the clan, a figure slowly emerged from the Uchiha crowd, catching Yasuke's attention!

The more Yasuke observed the figure, the more familiar he seemed.

Then, as the boy spoke, Yasuke's shocked mind guessed his identity!

"Itachi?"

"Is he Uchiha Itachi?"

Indeed!

Staring at the familiar face, Yasuke quickly recognized the young boy beside Uchiha Fugaku as Uchiha Itachi, the future legendary "Itachi of the Sharingan"!

Curiously examining the youthful Itachi, whose innocent appearance contrasted with his deep, mature gaze.

Itachi stepped out from the Uchiha crowd, his eyes first settling on Yasuke, then he turned to his father, Fugaku, saying, "Father, Yasuke-senpai is very impressive. May I ask him for some guidance?"

"Oh? Itachi, you want to spar with Yasuke?"

Hearing Itachi's request, Fugaku frowned.

The Uchiha clan had already lost to the Nara clan. If Itachi lost too, what would become of the Uchiha's honor?

Thus, Fugaku's first thought was to refuse Itachi's request to preserve the clan's dignity.

But before Fugaku could refuse, Yasuke, staring at Itachi's youthful face, felt a surge of intense battle spirit in his eyes. He smiled at Itachi and said, "Uchiha Itachi, right? I've heard of you!"

"I've long wanted to spar with you. May I have some time to recover my chakra first?"
