"Shikaku, your little brat is quite interesting!"
Nara Yasuke's lazy voice carried over, causing Uchiha Fugaku's face to twist. However, Yamanaka Inoichi, standing next to Shikaku, simply chuckled, his gaze towards Yasuke changing.
At this moment, the person who understood Yasuke the best was none other than Shikaku.
So when Inoichi spoke up, Shikaku merely gave a mysterious smile, recalling Yasuke's performance from that morning and thought to himself:
"With just Shadow Sewing, Yasuke, it's impossible for you to win."
"But the more that's the case, Yasuke, the more I look forward to the surprise you'll bring me!"
Taking a deep breath, Shikaku quietly awaited Yasuke's performance.
On the other hand, Uchiha Fugaku, after his face turned blue with rage, laughed out of anger and said to Yasuke, "Well done, Nara Yasuke. You certainly have some skill. Didn't you want to challenge everyone in the Uchiha clan? Kin, Gin, Hi, join Yuna and spar with Yasuke! I really want to see what makes a mere Nara think he can act arrogant in front of the Uchiha!"
"Yes, clan leader!"
With Fugaku's command, three more Uchiha youths stepped forward, shamelessly surrounding Yasuke.
At this moment, the Uchiha clan could not afford to lose!
If four of the Uchiha clan's new generation elites couldn't defeat Yasuke, let alone the bet, Fugaku would want to find a rock to hide under out of shame!
However, as Yasuke observed the four Uchiha youths with his peripheral vision, he remained lazily calm. Then, with Fugaku's signal, before Yasuke could form any seals, the four Uchiha youths launched their attack, giving Yasuke no opportunity to counterattack!
"Yasuke is in danger!"
"Yes! If it were just Yuna, Yasuke might have a chance, but he's too confident!"
"Fugaku is too despicable! Sending four people to fight a four-year-old! Even if they win, what of it?"
As the four Uchiha attacked simultaneously, the onlookers naturally doubted Yasuke's chances.
But as Uchiha Kin surged with chakra and swiftly closed in on Yasuke, Yasuke's face showed no fear, remaining lazily composed.
That lazy expression seemed provocative, even humiliating!
Seeing Yasuke's relaxed demeanor, Uchiha Kin sneered and prepared to stab Yasuke's chest with his kunai. Yet, as Kin took another step and prepared to strike, a sharp glint flashed in Yasuke's eyes, and he quickly formed seals!
"Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
Having used the Shadow Imitation Technique multiple times, Yasuke performed it with such skill and speed that it rivaled a jōnin like Shikaku!
In an instant, his shadow extended and connected with Kin's shadow!
In just one move, Yasuke's Shadow Imitation Technique immobilized Uchiha Kin, causing a stir among the onlookers!
"Is Yasuke a monster? How can he cast jutsu so quickly? Was he personally taught by Shikaku?"
"No, Shikaku's Shadow Imitation isn't even as fast as Yasuke's! No wonder Yasuke could save Minji earlier; this Shadow Imitation alone is enough!"
"Wait! Uchiha Gin is coming! No matter how good Yasuke is with Shadow Imitation, he can't hold two people at once, can he?"
Just as the onlookers exclaimed, Yasuke had just immobilized Kin when Uchiha Gin's figure attacked.
Facing multiple opponents, Yasuke was at a disadvantage.
If it were only Uchiha Kin, Yasuke would have won instantly.
Unfortunately, Yasuke had more than one opponent, so while some were amazed by his Shadow Imitation, most still believed he would inevitably lose.
"If you don't believe in me, I'll give you a surprise!"
"Shadow Sewing!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Wearing a faint smile, Yasuke, now more serious, changed his hand seals, prompting Akimichi Choza to exclaim!
"Shikaku, is that the Shadow Sewing Technique?"
"Yes! It is the Shadow Sewing Technique!"
Smiling confidently, Shikaku knew he hadn't misplaced his trust in Yasuke when he used Shadow Sewing.
The Uchiha underestimated Yasuke, including Kin, Gin, and Hi. They thought Yasuke was an easy target. So when the fight began, they charged at Yasuke without hesitation, never imagining he had mastered the Shadow Sewing Technique, a secret Nara technique that could immobilize multiple people simultaneously.
Indeed, Yasuke's Shadow Sewing sealed his victory!
In fast motion, Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Hi had no intention of retreating. Yasuke's Shadow Sewing extended swiftly, connecting with their shadows. Thus, using only two Nara techniques, Yasuke defeated three of the Uchiha's new generation elites!
But just as Yasuke was about to win, Uchiha Yuna began forming hand seals!
"Hmm? A Fire Release jutsu?"
"Yuna even knows Fire Release? This is bad! Yasuke will lose!"
Immobilizing three Uchiha elites, Yasuke was close to victory, and Shikaku smiled confidently.
But as Yuna began forming seals for a Fire Release, Shikaku's eyes narrowed slightly.
While using Shadow Sewing, Yasuke couldn't move freely. He had two choices: release the three Uchiha elites to dodge Yuna's Fire Release or risk severe injury, possibly even death!
Clenching his fists, Shikaku hesitated, wondering whether to help Yasuke.
Meanwhile, Fugaku smiled, confident Yasuke would perish under Yuna's Fire Release!
However!
As everyone held their breath, waiting for the outcome, Yasuke's hand reached for his ninja pouch!
The next moment, just as Yuna finished forming seals and prepared to unleash his Fire Release, Yasuke threw a kunai that pinned Yuna's shadow!
In an instant, the tide turned!
"Shadow Shuriken Technique!"
"Uchiha Yuna, you've lost!"
