Chapter 17: New Technique's Might

Koshino's lazy voice echoed, causing Fugaku Uchiha's expression to change drastically. However, Yamanaka Inoichi, standing beside Shikaku, merely chuckled, his gaze toward Koshino shifting.

At this moment, the person who understood Koshino the most was none other than Shikaku.

So when Inoichi spoke, Shikaku just gave a mysterious smile, recalling Koshino's performance that morning, and thought to himself:

"With just the Shadow Sewing Technique, Koshino, you have no chance of winning."

"But the more it is like this, Koshino, the more I look forward to the surprise you might bring me!"

Taking a deep breath, Shikaku silently anticipated Koshino's performance.

On the other hand, Fugaku Uchiha, after his face turned ashen, laughed in anger and said to Koshino, "Well, well, Nara Koshino, you do have some skill. 

Didn't you want to challenge everyone in the Uchiha Clan? Kin, Gin, and Hi, join Yūnō and spar with Koshino! I really want to see what a mere Nara Clan has to boast about in front of the Uchiha Clan!"

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

At Fugaku Uchiha's command, three more young members of the Uchiha Clan stepped forward, shamelessly surrounding Koshino.

At this moment, the Uchiha Clan absolutely could not afford to lose again! If the four new-generation elites of the Uchiha Clan couldn't defeat one Koshino, forget about the bet, Fugaku Uchiha might as well find a wall to bang his head against!

However, as Koshino watched the four young Uchiha members surrounding him from the corner of his eye, he maintained his lazy demeanor. Then, with Fugaku Uchiha's command, before Koshino could even start forming seals, the four Uchiha youths suddenly sprang into action, seizing the initiative, seemingly giving Koshino no chance to counterattack!

"Koshino is in danger!"

"Yeah! If it were just against Yūnō, Koshino might have a chance to win, but he's too confident!"

"Fugaku Uchiha is too despicable! Sending four people to fight a four-year-old child! Hmph, even if they win, so what?"

As the four Uchiha attacked simultaneously, the onlookers naturally became less optimistic about Koshino.

But when Uchiha Kin, leading the charge, burst with chakra and closed in on Koshino in just two steps, Koshino's face showed no sign of panic, still wearing that lazy expression.

That lazy look seemed like a provocation, more like an insult! So, seeing Koshino's lazy expression, Uchiha Kin sneered, gripping a kunai, ready to stab Koshino in the chest. Who would have thought, just as Uchiha Kin took a step forward, gathering strength to thrust the kunai, a gleam suddenly shot from Koshino's eyes, and he quickly formed hand seals!

"Shadow Imitation Technique!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Having used the Shadow Imitation Technique multiple times, Koshino's execution was flawless, the speed of his technique rivaling that of a Jonin like Shikaku! In an instant, the shadow beneath his feet extended, connecting perfectly with Uchiha Kin's shadow! In just one move, Koshino's Shadow Imitation Technique had halted Uchiha Kin's advance, causing a wave of astonishment around them!

"Is Koshino a monster? How can he perform the technique so quickly? Did Shikaku personally teach him?"

"No, even Shikaku's Shadow Imitation Technique doesn't seem as fast as Koshino's! No wonder Koshino could save Minji before; this Shadow Imitation Technique alone is enough!"

"Wait a minute! Uchiha Gin is here. No matter how powerful Koshino's Shadow Imitation Technique is, he can't possibly restrain two people at once, can he?"

Just as the surrounding onlookers exclaimed, Koshino had just managed to restrain Uchiha Kin with his technique when, in the next moment, Uchiha Gin's figure launched an attack.

Engaging multiple opponents at once, Koshino was clearly at a disadvantage.

If it were just a one-on-one with Uchiha Kin, Koshino would have already won at this moment.

Unfortunately, Koshino's opponents weren't limited to just one. So, while the spectators were amazed by Koshino's Shadow Imitation Technique, only a few believed in his victory, with most anticipating his inevitable defeat.

"Since you all doubt me, let me give you a surprise!"

"Shadow Sewing Technique!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

A lazy smile appeared on Koshino's face as he became more serious, suddenly changing his hand signs, causing Choza to exclaim in surprise! "Shikaku, is that the Shadow Sewing Technique?"

"Yes! It's the Shadow Sewing Technique!"

Shikaku smiled confidently, knowing he hadn't misplaced his trust in Koshino when he used the Shadow Sewing Technique.

The Uchiha Clan members, including Uchiha Kin, Uchiha Gin, and Uchiha Hi, were too complacent, thinking Koshino would be an easy opponent. So, when the match began, they charged directly at Koshino, never imagining that he had already mastered the Shadow Sewing Technique, a Nara Clan secret that could restrain multiple people at once.

Indeed, Koshino's use of the Shadow Sewing Technique secured his victory!

In the midst of high-speed movement, neither Uchiha Gin nor Uchiha Hi showed any intention of retreating. Koshino's Shadow Sewing Technique suddenly activated, and the swiftly extending shadows quickly connected with theirs. Thus, with just two Nara Clan secret techniques, Koshino defeated three of the Uchiha Clan's new generation elites!

But just as Koshino was about to claim victory, who would have thought Uchiha Younen would start forming hand signs!

"Hmm? Is that a Fire Release jutsu?"

"Younen has even mastered Fire Release jutsu? This is bad! Koshino is going to lose!"

Having restrained three of the Uchiha Clan's new generation elites with the Shadow Sewing Technique, Koshino seemed to have victory in his grasp, and Shikaku was smiling confidently.

However, from a distance, Uchiha Younen suddenly began forming hand signs, preparing to use a Fire Release jutsu, causing Shikaku's pupils to contract slightly.

Because while using the Shadow Sewing Technique, Koshino couldn't move freely. He faced two choices: either release the three restrained Uchiha elites to dodge Younen's Fire Release jutsu or risk severe injury, possibly even death, under Younen's attack!

Clenching his fists tightly, Shikaku hesitated, unsure whether to assist Koshino.

In contrast, Fugaku Uchiha wore a faint smile, as if he foresaw Koshino's inevitable demise under Younen's Fire Release jutsu!

But!

Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for the outcome to unfold, Koshino's hand suddenly reached for his ninja tool pouch!

In the next instant, just as Uchiha Younen completed his hand signs and was about to unleash his Fire Release jutsu, Koshino's thrown kunai pinned Younen's shadow!

In an instant, the tide of the battle shifted!

"Shadow Shuriken!"
