The body's attribute points increased by five points. Afterward, even when getting beaten again, there was no further increase. Perhaps this is the daily limit for attribute point increases. This time, the sparring lasted much longer than before.

His Sharingan was starting to ache a little. Ordinary Sharingan usage doesn't carry the risk of blindness. He couldn't continue any further; otherwise, he might have to be carried back.

Naturally, he didn't want such a thing to happen. Panting heavily, he said, "Guy, let's stop for today."

"Alright." Might Guy readily agreed.

Although the other's taijutsu wasn't as good as his own, he didn't feel any aversion when sparring with him. The other party sought him out precisely because they acknowledged him, right?

At the same time, actual combat allowed him to review his techniques. What surprised him a bit was that the other party's strength and speed had increased slightly.

Rationally speaking, this was impossible—strength and speed don't improve overnight. But he still had this feeling.

Rock Lee, who had been watching from the sidelines, was moved by this Uchiha clansman.

Knocked down repeatedly, yet getting up again and again. As a member of the prestigious Uchiha clan, he was practicing taijutsu so diligently. This proved that taijutsu was effective. Maybe, just maybe, he could really become a ninja through taijutsu and fulfill his dream of becoming a ninja.

After Ryosuke left, Rock Lee looked at Might Guy. "Guy-sensei, I'm also planning to head back."

He was still young, and the earlier long run around Konoha had already pushed his body to its limits.

Guy had warned him before to train diligently but never exceed his physical limits; otherwise, it could easily cause bodily harm.

At this moment, however, Guy spoke up, "Lee, wait a moment. During the sparring with Ryosuke just now, I thought of a new training method that might be very effective."

"Do you want to try it?"

Rock Lee couldn't help but ask, "Guy-sensei, what kind of training method is it?"

Ever since he started training under Guy-sensei, he had learned the correct methods for practicing taijutsu, which greatly improved his training efficiency.

It was no longer like before when he trained aimlessly and inefficiently, wasting effort on useless practices. Now, having an efficient way to improve his strength meant he could become a ninja sooner, just like Guy-sensei.

Guy looked at Rock Lee and said with a smile, "It's actually quite simple, getting beaten up."

Hearing this, Rock Lee's excitement immediately cooled. Although he wasn't afraid of hardship and was willing to train his body, he didn't want to be a punching bag.

"Guy-sensei, is this really effective?"

"Of course it's effective," Guy replied immediately. "You might not have noticed while watching, but during my sparring with Ryosuke, I clearly felt it."

"His speed and strength both improved slightly." Rock Lee still looked unconvinced. Guy-sensei's observations might not be wrong, and maybe Ryosuke's speed and strength had indeed increased.

But it could also have been due to other factors. Maybe Ryosuke was in particularly good condition today—these were all possible explanations.

Seeing Rock Lee's silent skepticism, Guy felt that he didn't believe it. In truth, Guy himself wasn't entirely convinced either.

"Why not give it a try? Maybe it really has miraculous effects." Hearing this, Rock Lee reluctantly agreed to try it.

"Alright, Guy-sensei."

Guy, however, stroked his chin and looked at Rock Lee's already fatigued body.

"Let's try it another time when you're more rested."

———

After bidding farewell to Guy and Rock Lee, Uchiha Ryosuke naturally headed back to his home.

His fatigued body attracted the attention of ordinary clansmen in the compound, with some even kindly asking,

"Ryosuke, are you alright? Do you need some ointment applied?"

Feeling the clansmen's goodwill rather than ridicule, he naturally responded politely.

"It's just a minor injury. I'll apply some ointment myself when I get back."

Hearing this, the gathered clansmen heaved a sigh of relief.

Only a few Uchiha ninja watching from a distance looked at him with displeasure. They speculated whether his injuries, like before, were sustained during sparring with Might Guy. If that were the case, it would truly disgrace the Uchiha clan.

That Might Guy was merely an ordinary chunin. Even if he had decent taijutsu, his movements should be entirely visible under the observation of the Sharingan.

As long as one's body could keep up with his movements, they'd inherently hold the upper hand.

Ryosuke was also a chunin, though relatively weak. But with the Sharingan, even just a one-tomoe Sharingan, he should dominate opponents of the same rank.

His actions now undoubtedly tarnished the reputation of the Uchiha clan. Especially now, with the strained relations between the Uchiha clan and the Konoha leadership, it made the clan appear weak. This was, of course, something they did not want to see.

Ryosuke naturally noticed their gazes. They were clearly dissatisfied with his actions, thinking he had shamed the Uchiha clan. Little did they know he was sparring with Might Guy to save the Uchiha clan.

Though they were exceedingly proud, they lacked the strength to match their arrogance.

The clan boasted nearly twenty jonin and a hundred chunin—a powerful lineup that was completely annihilated by just two traitors.

Thinking about this, Uchiha Ryosuke felt even more disdain. These clan members were all talk and no action.

With a look of scorn on his face, he glanced at them before heading home without waiting for their reaction.

Those clan members saw Ryosuke glaring at them and were immediately displeased.

"Idaka, this guy actually dared to glare at us. How utterly ignorant."

"Why don't we teach him a lesson and warn him not to disgrace the clan anymore?"

The long-haired Idaka replied impatiently.

"Don't forget his identity. The elder's temper may be good, but if we lay a hand on his only grandson, we'll probably end up in the neighboring prison."

Konoha Prison was built adjacent to the Uchiha compound and managed by the Uchiha Police Force. It held over 200 criminals.

Among them were unruly ninjas, hooligans, and rogue samurai.

The ninja who had made the suggestion was a bit intimidated by the mention of the prison but still complained, "Are we just going to stand by and watch this brat ruin the Uchiha clan's reputation?"

Idaka pondered for a moment, then a bright idea came to him. With a slight smile, he said, "I've thought of a good solution. Doesn't Ryosuke enjoy sparring with Might Guy?"

"The elder hasn't said anything about it, so if we also spar with him and just hit a little harder, it should be fine."

Hearing this, the other Uchiha clan members smiled knowingly.
