Cleansing

//Finally a chapter of medium length , Two chapters today but one is short.// 

---

After climbing down the hill, Shisui decided to eat something and buy some clothes so that he would have something to wear after taking a bath. While eating, he noticed a boy around his age drinking and giggling, saying, "How blissful it feels to drink something like this after such a long time." These words were enough for Shisui to guess who it must be, and he decided not to attract any attention from that demon. Alas, the boy caught his attention. After finishing his meal, Shisui got up, walked toward the other boy, stood in front of him, and analyzed him and his get-up. The first words that came out of his mouth were:

Shisui: "You are a disciple of Mount Hua? I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL."

Yes, he challenged Chung Myung to a duel. Had he gone crazy and lost his ability to think? The answer is yes and no. He was definitely crazy to challenge him for a duel, but he had actually thought about it. From his past life experience, he knew he was talented but lacked motivation and competitive spirit, which held back his potential. Yes, not aiming high is sometimes the reason many people with potential never achieve greatness.

In this life, Shisui had the potential to become the strongest of the century, maybe of all time. He was not only talented and had a highly calculative brain from his past life experiences, but he also possessed the Sharingan, and his crown chakra was unlocked, making his Sharingan far better than anyone else's. 

But that's it—he might be a genius with the potential to be the strongest, but is there any guarantee that he will survive until then? No. Is there any guarantee he will survive for two years in this world? The answer is NO. So, the first condition is to survive long enough until he becomes the strongest, and he could have become the strongest if there was no Chung Myung or Heavenly Demon in this world. 

If Shisui is an extraordinary genius, then Chung Myung is a genius among geniuses, and the Heavenly Demon is just a monster. While being aware of all of this, why did he challenge Chung Myung? Because he does not want to just reach his potential but surpass it by a mile, and there is no one better than Chung Myung in this world who can help him surpass his potential. Yes, there are many stronger people than Shisui, but he is confident that he will surpass all of them in a few years. But Chung Myung—he is not sure. Even though he has the Sharingan as an additional strength, Chung Myung has experience: fighting against the Demon Sect, fighting against the Heavenly Demon, and he is sure he also has experience fighting against the Sharingan, which is something no talent or hard work could ever make him catch up to. So what is it that could make him catch up with Chung Myung? It's the same experience, which he must gain through countless duels with him, so that slowly but surely, he would make Chung Myung's experience his own.

Then why was he crazy, you may ask?

Well....

Shisui: "I surrender! I surrender!"

Chung Myung: "What? Are you saying something?"

Shisui: "I surrender!!!"

Chung Myung: "You said you are an Uchiha who never surrenders? Fine, we will continue this cleansing—no, I mean duel. Protect your head."

Shisui screams: "NO!! I never said that!"

After getting hit on the head, he collapsed.

Yes, he underestimated the beating he would get for challenging Chung Myung. Initially, Chung Myung thought that his opponent was some cocky boy who had learned a move or two, but while fighting, he realized that his opponent must be a beggar. Chung Myung started beating the crap out of his opponent. But when his opponent opened the Sharingan, instead of being happy that he found an Uchiha whom he thought to be extinct 100 years ago, he lost his mind. Yes, this fellow was a goddamn Uchiha who was using the fighting style of a beggar, which he might have copied, and this is something Chung Myung never wanted to see. NO!! To him All dead Uchiaha are better than this . 

After Chung Myung lost his head, he started hitting the head of the Uchiha in the hope that he would forget it, and that Uchiha actually started copying Chung Myung's moves. The moves were messy, but still better than fighting in a beggar's way. This motivated Chung Myung even more, and he felt a responsibility as an ancestor to guide this foolish Uchiha—who probably was the last one—back to the right path, on which all his lineage had walked or he would just die from beating . So, the initial beating, which both of them thought would last 5-10 minutes, turned into 5 hours of cleansing .

As everyone reached the training ground for training, they saw an unusual sight. Chung Myung entered the sect while carrying someone on his back, and that person was beaten very badly.

Yes, everyone here gets beaten by Chung Myung daily, but that person's beating was on another level to the point it seemed Chung Myung wanted to kill him, but that person somehow survived. But that person didn't seem to be a fellow disciple, which meant Chung Myung had beaten a civilian. Till now, Chung Myung had never beaten a civilian. Even if he did beat someone, it should be a punch or two before they passed out, but this person was beaten to near death.

Yoon Jong: "Did this crazy guy beat a civilian? And this badly too? Jo Gul, go to the Sect Leader or any elder and report it."

Jo Gul: "Yes."

Jo Gul starts running towards the Sect Leader's building. Meanwhile, Yoon Jong tried to ask Chung Myung about the situation.

Chung Myung: "Oh, this person? He tripped and fell down the mountain, and I just picked him up and brought him here."

Yoon Jong frowned but still asked, "Why here and not anywhere else?"

Chung Myung: "He tripped from the mountain, so he must have been our guest. Isn't it natural to treat our guest who had an accident?"

Yoon Jong would have taken this answer if it was anyone else other than Chung Myung. Do you see a devil who shows kindness like an angel? No.

Still, Yoon Jong helped Chung Myung take that person to the infirmary.

At the infirmary

Someone woke up from the noise he was hearing, but what he felt was just pain all over his body, especially his head. He released a groan from the pain.

Sect Leader: "Do you really want me to believe that this boy actually tripped while climbing the mountain and got injuries like this? Do you think I am a fool?"

Chung Myung: "Yes, NO! I mean, he really tripped, and how could I ever think that the Sect Leader is a fool?"

Hyun Yong: "If the brat says the person tripped, then it must be true."

Chung Myung nodded furiously at this. While everyone else eyed Hyun Yong on how openly he was favoring Chung Myung.

The Sect Leader sighed and said, "Okay, we will wait until that boy wakes up and tells us what actually happened. But if Chung Myung really beat that boy, you will be punished very severely, and I am serious about it."

While everyone nodded at this, they heard a groan, which meant the patient had woken up from sleep or just escaped death. Everyone quickly entered the room and saw the boy staring at the ceiling while contemplating his choices in life.

The Sect Leader asked with a gentle smile and in a kind voice: "Boy, are you alright?"

Shisui eyed the man in front of him, which made the Sect Leader embarrassed. How could anyone ask this question while seeing his state? But Shisui seemed to recognize the man as the Sect Leader of the Mount Hua sect.

Shisui replied in a polite tone: "Yes, I feel better now. Where am I, and who are you guys?"

The Sect Leader felt relieved by the answer and said, "You are currently at the Mount Hua sect, and I am the Sect Leader. These are elders and disciples of Mount Hua."

Shisui: "Please pardon my manners, Sect Leader, but I am in no state to properly greet you."

Sect Leader: "Hahaha! It's fine, forget about formalities and recover quickly. But can you tell me how you received such injuries?"

Chung Myung: "Yes, tell them that you fell down from the mountain."

Shisui seemed taken aback after seeing Chung Myung, but after collecting his thoughts, he replied: "Yes, I fell down from the mountain, but someone pushed me."

Everyone was relieved, but when they heard someone pushed him, all eyes were on Chung Myung.

The Sect Leader asked in a serious tone, "Who was it, and is he present here?"

Shisui, still in pain, lifted his finger and hovered around Chung Myung, but when it stopped, everyone was taken aback because it was not on Chung Myung but on

Shisui: "Him, the boy with reddish-brown and curly hair."

All eyes were on Jo Gul this time, and even he was flabbergasted.
