Uchiha Sasuke stood with his arms crossed, his nose tilted upward. His 'posing style' was acting up again. If he didn't posture a bit, he felt completely uncomfortable.
Uchiha Ju was stunned. She was so angry she almost laughed. She looked at Uchiha Sasuke, then at Uchiha Itachi. How could the gap be this big.
Uchiha Itachi turned his face away, not daring to meet Ju's gaze. He felt ashamed. He was such a humble and amiable person, how could his younger brother be so arrogant.
Had he been giving him too much leeway usually? Resulting in Sasuke now fearing nothing, thinking he was second only to heaven.
Uchiha Itachi had already made up his mind in his heart. After going home today, he would properly discipline his younger brother. He couldn't take it anymore. His hands were itching.
Uchiha Ju walked a circle around Sasuke, looking at him. She casually sensed the chakra within his body and immediately frowned.
"Why is it so minuscule." Ju even thought she might have sensed wrong and prepared to sense again, but was stopped by Itachi.
"Juju, your sensing is correct." Uchiha Itachi forced a smile, making Ju's mouth twitch. No way. She looked at Sasuke and said to Itachi, "Itachi-ni, has he always been like this."
"Hmm." Itachi gave an ambiguous response.
Uchiha Ju sighed. The gap between the older and younger brother was actually this big.
"How about, a spar." Ju glanced at Sasuke. Sasuke didn't hesitate. "Fine." He said and started to form the seal of confrontation.
However, Itachi punched Sasuke on the head. "Idiot. This is the school gate. Are you planning to fight right at the entrance. Go inside first, I'll take you to a training ground."
"Ouch. Nii-san. Are you doing this on purpose. You're afraid Uchiha Ju will lose too badly, so you punch me to disrupt my strategic deployment in my head." Sasuke said.
This statement shocked two people. One was Uchiha Itachi. The other was Uchiha Ju.
Uchiha Itachi, "..."
Uchiha Ju, "6."
Uchiha Itachi looked around. No one was nearby. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Good, good. Not too many people. Otherwise, I'd have to consider cutting ties with Sasuke." Itachi lamented.
Itachi looked at Ju. Ju nodded. "Okay. Then let's go in. Itachi-ni, can I teach him a good lesson later."
Ju's eyes lit up as she looked at Itachi, seeking his opinion.
Uchiha Itachi nodded. "Just don't kill him. The rest, you decide."
Uchiha Ju smiled sweetly. "Okay." Then she turned and walked away humming a song.
Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth. "Nii-san. I will show you that I am the strongest. Even if that girl is someone you like."
Uchiha Itachi's expression changed. He quickly covered Sasuke's mouth. Goodness, how dare you say anything. If someone heard, this would not be a small matter.
Sasuke's mouth was covered by the large hand. He then began to flail his arms and legs.
"Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi reprimanded Sasuke loudly for the first time. Sasuke was stunned. Then he also realized his mistake. Finally, after making hand gestures promising he wouldn't speak recklessly, Itachi released his hand from covering Sasuke's mouth.
Sasuke pouted. His older brother treating him like this must all be because of that woman. Hmph. I was originally thinking of letting you off easy. This time, I will go all out.
His eyes burned with fighting spirit. Itachi just snorted coldly and walked towards Uchiha Ju.
Sasuke trotted along behind, still shouting to wait for him.
This time, Itachi didn't accommodate him. He just walked on his own. Well, actually there was still a bit of accommodation. Because he was afraid Sasuke didn't know the way and wouldn't find the correct place.
Since Ju had been humming a song and had walked further away, she didn't hear Sasuke's words. This made Itachi feel fortunate. He let out a long sigh of relief.
This made Sasuke somewhat dissatisfied. While chasing, he muttered under his breath about his stinky older brother, bad older brother, who favored a girl over his own brother.
Soon, they reached the training ground. They had come early today, so the school wasn't crowded yet. Therefore, it was sufficient for the two to spar.
Uchiha Ju had walked here leisurely, so she didn't feel any discomfort. Itachi indicated that this speed wasn't even half of what he achieved on missions. Naturally, he was also very relaxed.
Only Uchiha Sasuke was out of breath. He stood a hundred meters away from the two, panting. Ju was stunned. Besides having weak chakra reserves, this kid's physical endurance was also this poor. Was he deficient.
She started to feel sympathy in her heart. However, in the next moment.
"Wait, wait until I rest. I will definitely beat you down." Sasuke looked at Ju.
Ju withdrew her sympathy. She just said "Oh," then ignored him, looking at the scenery to the side.
Uchiha Itachi walked closer to Ju, his face apologetic. "Sorry, Juju, for making you unhappy."
"Itachi-ni, what are you saying. Your brother's nature isn't bad. He's just a bit. Well. Besides, it won't affect our relationship. You don't think I would get angry with you because of your brother. I'm not a child." Ju gave a sweet smile, paired with her stunning beauty, making Itachi freeze.
But he quickly regained his composure. "Thank you, Juju." Itachi also compared his younger brother and Ju. He became even more impressed with how well Ryun had raised his daughter.
He also resolved that from now on he must be stricter. He could no longer indulge Sasuke. Children must be molded from a young age.
Sasuke, who was resting, suddenly felt a chill all over, as if something was targeting him. He glanced at Ju and saw she was chatting with his older brother. So it probably wasn't her.
It's fine. I, Uchiha Sasuke, the number one genius of the Uchiha clan, am bound to be targeted. After all, the tree that stands out in the forest will be battered by the wind.
I have my older brother. When the time comes, I'll have my older brother handle it for me.
Little did he know, it was his older brother who was targeting him.
Ten minutes later.
"Juju-nee, let's begin. Please use your full strength when fighting me. After all, if you don't use your full strength, you might not even withstand a single move from me." Sasuke smiled.
Then, he struck a pose he thought was very cool, facing Ju.
Uchiha Ju didn't speak, but her fists clenched. She looked at Sasuke and smiled slightly. "Okay. Since little brother requests it. Big sister will hold nothing back."
Sasuke then nodded. He formed the seal of confrontation. Ju also formed the seal. Then Sasuke moved.
Strike first. Sasuke swayed left and right as he ran towards Ju. Ju looked at his speed and didn't even want to activate her Sharingan.
When Sasuke got close, Ju slightly sidestepped, causing Sasuke's attack to miss completely.
Nani. Sasuke's pupils constricted. He didn't expect his own speed, which he thought was so swift, to be dodged so easily by Ju.
Ju didn't speak, just thinking to herself, 'So slow.' Then she looked at Sasuke. Sasuke changed his movement, executing a side kick towards Ju.
Ju raised her arm. Sasuke's side kick solidly hit Ju's arm.
Ju was stunned. So light. This kid.
Sasuke's foot hurt from the recoil. He didn't understand why his full-power kick made his own foot hurt so much, while the other party showed no reaction.
While he was lost in thought, Ju grabbed his leg and then lightly tossed him. Sasuke immediately flew away into the distance.
Sasuke regained his senses and adjusted his body posture in mid-air. After landing, his shoes skidded along the ground for 100 meters.
Uchiha Itachi watched this scene without much reaction. Deep down, he actually thought Ju was still too kind. This level from Ju didn't even use one-tenth of her strength.
Uchiha Sasuke's gaze sharpened. From that first probe, he knew he was inferior to Ju in strength. Therefore, he could only try other aspects.
Uchiha Sasuke took out shuriken and threw them at Ju. Ju drew her ninja sword and raised it to block. Only the sound of clinking was heard.
All the shuriken were struck down. This made Sasuke freeze. Seriously, sis, you're this skilled. If you're this skilled, you should have said so earlier.
"Do you have any other moves. If not, let's end this. Fighting you is boring." After saying this, Ju yawned. This was completely an adult fighting a child.
Uchiha Sasuke stubbornly shook his head. "No, I still have more." After speaking, he began forming hand seals.
This attracted Ju's attention. However, upon seeing the seals Sasuke was forming, she immediately lost interest. Fire Style, Great Fireball Technique. A basic C-rank ninjutsu of the Uchiha.
After finishing the seals, Sasuke took a deep breath and then exhaled. Intense flames spewed from Sasuke's mouth towards Ju.
Uchiha Ju waved her right hand. "Water Style, Water Wall." In an instant, a curtain of water flew out, blocking the oncoming Great Fireball Technique.
Sizzle, sizzle. Fire and water are incompatible. Wisps of steam slowly formed.
Seeing this, Sasuke knew it wouldn't work. So he stopped releasing the Great Fireball and switched to close combat with kunai.
Seeing this, Ju exclaimed inwardly that Sasuke was amazing. He specifically chose what she was good at. Oh, right, she wasn't proficient with genjutsu yet. But it didn't matter. Sasuke hadn't even awakened his one-tomoe Sharingan.
Well then, I'll take this victory. Uchiha Ju's lips curved upward.
Sasuke still didn't know what a terribly wrong choice he had made. Even Uchiha Itachi took a sharp breath.
Was his younger brother this stupid. Had he raised him to be useless. Itachi couldn't help but wonder.
Sasuke seized the moment and charged at Ju. This time he used his full strength. He should at least be able to touch Ju this time.
However. Something unexpected happened.
Uchiha Ju sidestepped and grabbed Sasuke's wrist.
