Chapter 9 : Genius

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"It actually succeeded?"

"The Great Fireball Technique is difficult even for genin to learn. How could Fang, this idiot..."

"Idiot, what are you waiting for, get out of the way!"

Seeing the fireball getting closer and closer, these Uchiha children suddenly woke up as if from a dream, screaming and leaping aside, each falling down miserably.

Boom!

The fireball exploded, and the surging heat wave instantly spread in all directions. Faint sparks fell on these Uchiha children, causing them to scream in pain.

...

On the ground, Obito stared blankly at Fang, as if he saw Professor Tōno Minori from another planet. His expression was incredulous, a mix of disbelief, doubt, shock, and bewilderment!

A third of Fang's chakra was depleted by this jutsu, and his face turned pale. At the same time, much of the hostility in his heart dissipated, and the uncontrollable dojutsu gradually faded from his eyes. Fang opened his eyes and looked coldly at the Uchiha children writhing on the ground.

"Who dared to hit Obito just now?" Fang stepped forward, speaking softly but with an inherent authority after that Great Fireball Technique.

"Fang, how could you possibly learn the Great Fireball Technique?!"

"Cheating, he must have cheated."

"Damn it, how could we be defeated by such an idiot, I... Ah!!"

Before he could finish speaking, this little brat was kicked away by Fang, falling down miserably again.

"Fang, let it go." Obito struggled to get up, not wanting to cause trouble for Fang because of himself.

"Let it go? Are you kidding?" An arrogant Uchiha child stood up, sneering, "Uchiha Fang, don't think you're amazing just because you can use the Great Fireball Technique! Hehe, my dad is the deputy captain of the police force's squad. You wait for me. You dared to use the Great Fireball Technique to attack clan members on the street, you're finished!"

Hearing this, Fang frowned, but since it was already done, he naturally wouldn't back down.

"People like you, who rely on their fathers and are worthless themselves, are the real waste, right?" Fang spoke calmly, then kicked him over.

"Uchiha Fang, you bastard!" The child gritted his teeth, covered in dust as he got up, fists clenched, veins bulging, furious, "Remember this, my name is Uchiha Rakunai. One day, I will defeat you completely!"

"Let's go!" Uchiha Rakunai turned and left.

The Uchiha children on the ground, whimpering, got up shakily, looking fearfully at Fang, then followed Uchiha Rakunai away.

Fang squinted. More and more adults were gathering to watch. If this continued, it might cause even bigger trouble. Otherwise, he would have to beat these little brats until they couldn't sit down.

But Uchiha Rakunai? Heh, in the next school year at the Ninja Academy, I hope you'll realize your mistakes. Otherwise...

"Obito, are you okay?"

Fang helped Obito up and checked him. He looked pretty bad, but the worst injury was just a missing tooth, the rest were just superficial wounds, no need to go to the hospital.

Well, just a bunch of little brats, even if there were a lot of them, they couldn't cause too much harm.

Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, I lost my tooth." Obito threw the meat in his arms to Fang, then bent down to pick up the missing tooth, treasuring it.

"Don't worry, you're only six years old, you'll definitely grow another tooth." Fang comforted.

"I hope so, but... Fang, are you hiding something from me? That Fire Release just now, what did you..." Obito's eyes were almost shining green, as a student ranked among the bottom three in the Ninja Academy, he was very eager to gain strong power and recognition from others.

And at this moment, Fang undoubtedly gave him great hope.

In the previous school year at the Ninja Academy, Fang's grades were just slightly better than Obito's, but not by much. How could someone at the bottom of the class like him possibly use Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique?

"Cough!" Fang coughed lightly, then pointed to the nearby adults, saying, "Let's talk about it when we get home."

"Okay, but you have to tell me the truth!"

"Hey hey!"

...

At the headquarters of the Konoha Police Force, a message quickly spread from below and soon caught the attention of the higher-ups.

"Uchiha Fang? This name sounds familiar." The captain of the Konoha Police Force, Uchiha Yama, rubbed his chin as he looked at the information. "To be able to successfully use the Great Fireball Technique at the age of six, is he a genius? I remember I was nine when I learned this jutsu."

"Fugaku!" Uchiha Yama called out to someone outside.

"Hi!"

Soon, someone entered the room. It was Uchiha Fugaku, who had met Fang at the hospital.

"Go investigate this kid." Uchiha Yama handed him a piece of paper.

Uchiha Fugaku took it respectfully and glanced at it, his eyes widened in surprise. "Him?"

"What's wrong, do you know this kid?" Uchiha Yama asked him.

"He's called Uchiha Fang. I just saw him this morning at Konoha Hospital. He's a motivated kid. Sorry, Captain, that's all I know," Uchiha Fugaku didn't hide anything.

"Well, go and investigate further. This kid might be a genius of our Uchiha clan, hehe," Uchiha Yama chuckled like an old fox.

"Genius?" Uchiha Fugaku was stunned, then he looked at the information behind the small piece of paper, "What, he just used the Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique?! He's only 6 years old!"

Seeing the shock in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, Uchiha Yama smiled, "Keep it confidential. If it's confirmed that he's a genius, then we need to protect this kid well. After all, the war has just ended, and even in the village, it's not peaceful."

Soon, the same information also appeared in the major influential families of Konoha.

The Senju clan.

Tsunade looked disdainfully at the information, paying no attention to it at all. The other elders of the Senju clan had gradually withdrawn from the stage of Konoha due to their limited strength and knowledge. Even if they had any ideas, it wouldn't make a difference.

The Hyuga clan.

In the original story, the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan fought fiercely for the title of the top powerhouse family in Konoha. However, at this time, the Senju clan had not completely withdrawn from the stage of Konoha. With the buffer of the Senju clan, they were not as sensitive to the Uchiha clan as in later generations. Therefore, they also ignored this information.
