"Alright!"
Hatake Kakashi's eyes filled with confidence, and gripping his short sword, he charged towards Uchiha Yuzuru.
"Good speed."
Uchiha Yuzuru praised him, then casually pulled out a kunai and blocked Kakashi's attack.
Inheriting Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship, Hatake Kakashi's attacks were fierce, each aimed at Uchiha Yuzuru's vital points.
Uchiha Yuzuru's expression remained unchanged; his movements didn't seem very fast, and he floated lightly, yet he always managed to defuse Hatake Kakashi's attacks in the simplest way.
"Kakashi, if this is all you've got, you'd better stay in the ninja academy for a few more years."
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's words, Hatake Kakashi snorted defiantly.
Immediately after, he pulled out several shuriken from his ninja pouch and threw them at Uchiha Yuzuru, while quickly forming hand signs: "Wind Release: Wind Cutter Jutsu!"
Several invisible wind blades instantly rushed towards Uchiha Yuzuru.
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuzuru also formed hand signs: "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Jutsu!"
A massive fire dragon instantly shattered the wind blades and, without losing momentum, swept towards Hatake Kakashi.
Hatake Kakashi slammed his hands onto the ground: "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Boom!
The fire dragon collided with the thick earth wall, turning into scattered flames and dissipating.
Uchiha Yuzuru appeared behind Hatake Kakashi, placing a kunai across Kakashi's neck: "Kakashi, you lose."
"Is that so?"
A hint of a smile appeared in Hatake Kakashi's eyes, then he dissolved into a puff of smoke.
"Earth Release: Headhunter Jutsu!"
The ground broke open, and Uchiha Yuzuru's body was instantly pulled underground, leaving only his head exposed.
"Senior Yuzuru, I win."
Hatake Kakashi crouched in front of Uchiha Yuzuru, a hint of triumph in his eyes.
"Is that so?"
Uchiha Yuzuru's lips curled slightly, "Why don't you look behind you?"
Hatake Kakashi's heart sank. Before he could react, he heard Uchiha Yuzuru's voice behind him.
"Secret Technique: A Thousand Years of Death!"
Hatake Kakashi flew out, clutching his backside.
Uchiha Yuzuru stood up and laughed: "Kakashi, you should just stay in the academy from now on."
"Also..." Uchiha Yuzuru added, "I'm not very impressed that your Earth-Style Wall didn't have a dog head on it."
Hatake Kakashi lay on the ground, utterly dejected, not knowing if he heard it or not, completely unresponsive.
Beside him, Uchiha Obito tightly clenched his fists.
This Kakashi, was he really this strong?
Continuously releasing ninjutsu, that was something many Chunin could barely do!
But now wasn't the time to think about such things. Uchiha Obito ran to Hatake Kakashi's side and began to examine Hatake Kakashi's injuries with his head bowed.
Hatake Sakumo walked up to Uchiha Yuzuru, saying with some concern: "Yuzuru, you were a bit too harsh."
Uchiha Yuzuru smiled: "Kakashi is too arrogant deep down. A little more tempering won't hurt."
Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo nodded: "Since you, Yuzuru, think Kakashi needs more tempering, then let him stay in the ninja academy for a few more years."
"Then it's decided," Uchiha Yuzuru said curiously, "How's your training progress recently?"
"It's alright," Hatake Sakumo said, then chakra circulated within his body, and some purple lightning appeared on his hands.
"The Cloud Village's body tempering secret technique is indeed powerful. I feel a chance to advance further."
Uchiha Yuzuru was somewhat surprised.
Indeed, those who can become top powerhouses are all geniuses.
In such a short time, Hatake Sakumo had already cultivated Purple Lightning.
Thinking of this, a hint of eagerness rose in Uchiha Yuzuru's heart.
"Sakumo, let's fight."
Although sheer power can overcome many things, combat experience is still very important.
Fighting against a powerhouse like Hatake Sakumo was very beneficial even for Uchiha Yuzuru.
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's suggestion, a strong fighting spirit also rose in Hatake Sakumo's eyes.
Like Uchiha Yuzuru, he also wanted to constantly break through his limits in battles against strong opponents!

Time flew by, and a month quietly passed.
Within that month, Uchiha Yuzuru constantly sparred with Hatake Sakumo, A, Killer B, the Third Raikage, and others.
Under high-intensity combat, his combat experience rapidly accumulated.
Compared to the beginning, without using the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, only the Third Raikage could give him a little pressure.
"Ding! Detected that the host's family now possesses a special bloodline: the Yotsuki Bloodline!"
"Current Yotsuki Bloodline Evolution: 17%!"
"Ding! Detected that the host's family now possesses a special bloodline: the Chinoike Bloodline!"
"Current Chinoike Bloodline Evolution: 2%!"
Feeling the continuous increase in his body's strength, Uchiha Yuzuru's smile deepened.
In just over a month, more than ten members of the Yotsuki clan and the Uchiha clan had intermarried.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before he could evolve the Yotsuki bloodline to 100%.
By then, his physique would be even stronger than the Third Raikage's.
Moreover, what pleased Uchiha Yuzuru was that although his physical strength continuously increased with the Yotsuki bloodline, his overall appearance hadn't changed too drastically.
Aside from more defined muscle lines, he looked completely different from the burly physiques of the Third Raikage, A, and Killer B.
Additionally, just as Uchiha Yuzuru had previously guessed, the Chinoike clan's bloodline power could enhance his mental energy.
Combined with the Yotsuki clan's bloodline power, both his chakra and dojutsu had increased significantly.
A comprehensive improvement, without any weaknesses.
This was completely different from the superficial and unstable power gained through self-training.
This was the charm of having cheats.
"Yuzuru, are you busy?"
Uchiha Mikoto's gentle voice came from outside the door, and Uchiha Yuzuru opened his eyes.
"Mikoto, is something wrong?"
Uchiha Mikoto pushed open the door and walked in: "The Third Raikage sent someone to say he'd like you to come to the Raikage's office."
"Did they say what it's about?"
"It seems the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning sent an envoy." Uchiha Mikoto had a hint of worry in her eyes, "Yuzuru, is the Daimyo coming to punish you?"
After the Chinoike clan settled in Cloud Village, news about them spread throughout the village.
Uchiha Mikoto naturally knew that Uchiha Yuzuru had privately released a criminal clan imprisoned by the Daimyo.
So, hearing that the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning had sent an envoy, she couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's expression, Uchiha Yuzuru reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
"Don't worry, this was originally part of my plan."
