After exchanging greetings, everyone had just taken their seats.
"Ding-dong"
The doorbell rang again.
Uchiha Akito, who had just sat down, stood up again to open the door.
Soon, a stern-looking man walked in. It was Ryufeng's father, Yusuke Uchiha, who looked at the few people in the living room, somewhat surprised.
"Are we having guests today?"
Uchiha Akito, who followed, responded, "Yesterday, I invited Uchiha Shisui to be a guest at our home, and the one next to him is Ryufeng's classmate, who is also a guest."
Uchiha Akito, who still wanted to introduce, was interrupted by Yusuke Uchiha's wave of hand, "No need to introduce, Akito, we have met."
Ren replied with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Yusuke, let me formally introduce myself. I am Hoshimi Ren. Apologise for the intrusion."
Yusuke Uchiha's face showed a trace of a smile. The first time he met this child was at the Ninja School gate. At that time, he looked ordinary and he didn't take it seriously. Who knew that the two of them would meet again so quickly?
He turned his head to Uchiha Ryufeng, "Ryufeng, did you train well today?"
Ryufeng immediately sat up straight, "Yes, Father, I have been training hard."
"That's good. You are indeed my son." Yusuke Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Uchiha Shisui said with an eager expression, "Ryufeng-ge, I feel like I've gotten stronger recently. Do you have time to give me some pointers? Let's have a spar."
"Spar with me?" Ryufeng pointed at himself in surprise. Then he shook his head.
"No, I just finished training and I'm very tired. Why don't you find him? He's even stronger than me." He said, nudging his chin towards Ren.
"Eh? Stronger than Ryufeng-ge?!" Uchiha Shisui's eyes widened, looking at Ryufeng and Ren, blinking back and forth.
At this time, Ren, who was still eating three-colored dango, was also in a state of confusion. It took him a long time to swallow the dango in his throat. He stood up, bowed his head slightly and smiled, "How about it, Shisui-kun, do you want to have a spar with me?"
"Ah? Ah! Oh, then I'll trouble you." Shisui came back to his senses and subconsciously replied when he heard Ren's answer.
"A spar? Then let's go to the Uchiha training ground. There's still some time until dinner. I'll be the referee. Let's go watch the battle of the geniuses."
Yusuke Uchiha said, watching this scene.
Everyone, having reached a consensus, went out together. The Uchiha Clan members they met on the way greeted Yusuke's family and Shisui while looking at Ren. When asked what they were going to do, Yusuke Uchiha smiled and said he was going to be the referee for a match between two geniuses.
The curiosity of these Uchiha was instantly piqued. It was the first time they had seen a match presided over by a Uchiha. With Yusuke Uchiha as the referee, these Uchiha called their friends and relatives and rushed to the Seventh Training Ground.
When Ren and his group arrived at the duelling ground, they saw a group of Uchiha Clan members gathered together, looking at them.
Yusuke Uchiha was also confused. There were about a thousand people in the Uchiha Clan. Except for those on duty on missions, most of the others seemed to be here. Those who didn't know would have thought the Uchiha Clan was having another clan meeting.
"Yusuke, it's quite lively. You've called the entire clan for one match."
A voice rang out among the Uchiha crowd. The crowd parted to both sides, and the one who arrived was the Clan Head Uchiha, Uchiha Fugaku! Following him was his wife, Uchiha Mikoto.
Is this Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi's father, the Clan Head Uchiha who rarely awakened his Mangekyo and was known as "Fugaku of the Fierce Eyes"? The one next to him should be Uchiha Fugaku's wife, the mother of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi.
He inadvertently saw Uchiha Mikoto's visibly pregnant belly. Is Itachi about to be born? Ren came back to his senses after seeing this. He observed calmly, waiting for the situation to unfold.
"Clan Head," Yusuke Uchiha bowed his head in greeting, "It's nothing big. I just decided on a whim to referee a match for two little ones today. I didn't expect everyone to come."
"Oh? Who is fighting whom? Shisui against Ryufeng? That would indeed be quite a sight."
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the children in front of him and subconsciously said this.
"It's not me, Uncle Fugaku, it's Ren and Shisui who are sparring today."
Uchiha Ryufeng scratched his head, looking at Uchiha Fugaku.
"Oh? Is Ren this young friend?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the prominent Ren next to him in surprise. He was the only one in the entire venue who was a Uchiha. Everyone's gaze on the field was also attracted by Ryufeng's words, and they all looked at Ren.
Being stared at by hundreds of pairs of Uchiha eyes was like being stared at by hundreds of Sharingan. Ren shivered in his heart, took a step forward, and bowed.
"Hello, Clan Head Fugaku, I am Hoshimi Ren."
Fugaku looked at Ren in front of him with curiosity and said, "No need to be reserved. We are all here to watch the match today. You make the arrangements. I'll go wait on the side for the match to begin."
After speaking, he nodded to Yusuke Uchiha and took his wife to the side.
"Then let's begin. Ryufeng, take your mother to watch from the side first."
Yusuke Uchiha looked around and said to the two, "You two prepare. It will start in five minutes."
Ren and Uchiha Shisui nodded. They walked to opposite sides, and Yusuke Uchiha stood in the centre of the arena, closing his eyes, waiting for the match to begin.
"Ryufeng, who is that person fighting Shisui? Is he very strong?"
"Exactly, I thought it was your match with Shisui."
The surrounding Uchiha Clan members inquired about information from Ryufeng, hoping to get some news.
Uchiha Ryufeng looked at the clan members around him and said, "He is my friend. Although you don't want to admit it, his strength is above mine."
"Hmm?!" The surrounding Uchiha all fell into surprise.
"Is he a child from a prominent family?"
An Uchiha Clan member asked subconsciously.
Uchiha Ryufeng glanced at this clan member and shook his head.
"No, he is a commoner."
…
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
In this day and age, can commoners even defeat our Uchiha geniuses?"
A hint of surprise also appeared on Uchiha Fugaku's serious face. Is this child really that strong?
"Seeing is believing. Everyone should wait until the match is over before commenting. Although Shisui is young, his strength is close to Chunin. He should be able to test this child's strength."
After Uchiha Fugaku spoke, the somewhat noisy Uchiha crowd immediately quieted down.
They began to watch this battle of geniuses with rapt attention.
In the arena, the two, who had finished warming up, looked at Yusuke Uchiha, who was acting as the referee, waiting for him to announce the start of the match.
Yusuke Uchiha, who had finished his meditation, opened his eyes and looked at the two.
"Are you ready?"
The two nodded acknowledging their bodies, staring at their opponent, poised for action.
"Start!"
The battle was about to erupt!
