Chapter 18: Uchiha Itachi

The Shadow Shuriken flew out, and Koshino used a new technique developed through an app, achieving a perfect victory!

Under the binding power of the Shadow Shuriken, Uchiha Younen, who had just completed his hand seals, took a deep breath, ready to unleash the Uchiha Clan's signature Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu.

Unexpectedly, a shuriken suddenly shot out from Koshino's hand, imbued with the binding power of the Shadow Stitching Technique. It pinned Uchiha Younen's shadow, not only immobilizing him but also interrupting his jutsu, causing a backlash. A mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth!

"Younen!"

Seeing Uchiha Younen cough up blood, Uchiha Kin, Uchiha Gin, and Uchiha Hi all looked alarmed. As comrades, they were clearly very concerned about Uchiha Younen's safety.

But just as the eyes of the three Uchiha Clan's new generation elites were focused on Uchiha Younen, Koshino suddenly changed his hand seals again!

"Shadow Neck Binding Technique!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

With another change in hand seals, the shadows beneath Uchiha Kin, Uchiha Gin, and Uchiha Hi suddenly transformed. Black shadow-like hands climbed up and gripped the necks of the three new generation elites of the Uchiha Clan, turning their faces a purplish color in an instant.

If Koshino exerted just a bit more force, there was no doubt that these three new generation elites would meet a tragic end right there!

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

Almost everyone's gaze fell on Koshino the instant Uchiha Younen spat blood!

Three rounds, and he had taken down four new generation elites of the Uchiha Clan. What a terrifying achievement!

Including Shikaku, none of the onlookers had imagined that a four-year-old Koshino could defeat four new generation elites of the Uchiha Clan using only the Nara Clan's secret techniques. So, when Koshino achieved a perfect victory, everyone fell silent, especially those who had previously doubted Koshino, feeling their cheeks flush as if they had been slapped in the face!

Only Fugaku Uchiha's expression kept changing, and even his gaze towards Koshino grew increasingly hostile.

But as Fugaku Uchiha suppressed his anger, telling himself not to openly attack Koshino, Shikaku's exclamation broke the previously silent atmosphere!

"Koshino! Was that technique you just used your own invention?"

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

Smiling at Shikaku, since he had used the Shadow Shuriken in the match, Koshino candidly said, "Uncle Shikaku, isn't my new technique impressive?"

"Impressive? It's perfect!"

"Koshino, hurry back to the clan with me. I need to report your invention of a new technique to the elders! Quickly!"

Wow!

The conversation between Koshino and Shikaku naturally echoed throughout Hizashi's residence.

And upon learning that Koshino, at only four years old, could improve the Nara Clan's secret techniques and develop new ones, Hizashi, Choza, Inoichi, and others felt as if they were living in a dream!

Since when could even a four-year-old modify family secret techniques and research new ones?

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

At this moment, Nara Koshino, at four years old, could develop new techniques, causing even the Nara Clan's leader to lose composure slightly. In the eyes of many family leaders, this was nothing short of a monstrous display!

The Nara Clan is about to rise!

Almost all the family leaders instantly shared the same thought in their hearts!

Instead, Koshino, upon hearing Shikaku's words, maintained his gentle smile. He then turned to face Fugaku Uchiha and said with a smile, "Uncle Shikaku, please wait a moment. We still have some unfinished business."

With his smile growing even brighter, Koshino asked Fugaku Uchiha, "Lord Fugaku, should the wager be settled now?"

"Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the better Koshino performed and the more talented he appeared, the angrier Fugaku Uchiha became.

However, the fact that Koshino could develop a new jutsu at the age of four had changed Fugaku Uchiha's attitude.

Before learning about Koshino's new jutsu, Fugaku Uchiha secretly resented Koshino for embarrassing him. But after discovering Koshino's ability to create new techniques, Fugaku Uchiha found himself resenting his own clan members for not being able to defeat Koshino, let alone compare to him.

Yet, for the sake of the clan's honor, Fugaku Uchiha had to fulfill the bet.

Taking a scroll from one of his clansmen behind him, Fugaku Uchiha tossed it to Koshino and forced a smile, saying, "Koshino, this is a secret scroll from the Uchiha Clan for shuriken training. It's yours now. I hope our clan's secret techniques will shine in your hands. Don't tarnish the Uchiha Clan's name."

"Rest assured, Lord Fugaku, I won't let you down!"

With the new Shadow Shuriken technique, Koshino had been troubled by his lack of proper training in hidden weapons, unable to fully grasp the essence of the Shadow Shuriken. The scroll Fugaku Uchiha handed him was like a solution to his problem. Delighted, Koshino took the scroll and prepared to follow Shikaku back to his clan, planning to exchange the Shadow Shuriken for some benefits and then diligently train in the Uchiha Clan's secret techniques.

Just as Koshino approached Shikaku, who was about to bid farewell to Hizashi and discuss matters within the clan, someone slowly emerged from the crowd of Uchiha Clan members, catching Koshino's attention!

The more Koshino looked at this person, the more familiar they seemed.

Then, as the young boy spoke, Koshino, in shock, guessed the boy's identity!

"Itachi?"

"Is he Uchiha Itachi?"

Indeed!

Looking at the familiar face of the young boy, Koshino quickly recognized that the boy beside Fugaku Uchiha was none other than Uchiha Itachi, the one known as "Itachi the God"!

Curiously observing the young Itachi, his youthful and tender appearance contrasted with his eyes, which seemed as deep as those of an adult.

Uchiha Itachi had just stepped out from the crowd of Uchiha Clan members, his gaze first landing on Koshino before he turned to his father, Fugaku Uchiha, and said, "Father, Koshino-senpai is very skilled. I would like to ask for his guidance. Do you think that's possible?"

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

Hearing Uchiha Itachi's request, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but frown.

In the confrontation with the Nara Clan, the Uchiha Clan had already lost. If Uchiha Itachi were to fail again, what would become of the Uchiha Clan's face? Therefore, with a frown, Fugaku Uchiha's first thought was to refuse Itachi's request, considering the clan's reputation.

However, before Fugaku Uchiha could refuse Itachi, Koshino, staring at Itachi's youthful face, felt a strong fighting spirit ignite in his eyes for the first time. He then smiled at Itachi and said, "Uchiha Itachi, is it? I've heard of your name!"
