Whew!!
Since Uchiha Yuta didn't want to continue fighting, despite Shisui still having some hidden cards, he could only withdraw his focus, and his eyes quickly reverted from the Mangekyō Sharingan...
"Did it bleed?"
And the moment he deactivated his Mangekyō, Shisui's eyes welled up with blood, flowing like crimson tears. The sight made many of the onlookers shudder.
Quack!! Quack!!
The next moment, accompanied by the cries of crows, a flock of them flew in from a distance, surrounding Shisui. Within seconds, they pecked away the blood flowing from his eyes, leaving his face eerily clean.
"He's feeding his own blood to the crows..."
Seeing this, Uchiha Yuta frowned and shook his head unconsciously.
Shisui was still the same as ever.
Unfortunately, his mind had been completely brainwashed.
This was the tragedy of the so-called strongest illusionist—
He believed himself to be a master of genjutsu, yet in the face of the most potent brainwashing illusion in Konoha—The Will of Fire—he had been utterly consumed by it.
---
"Looks like the assessment is over."
"Shisui is indeed powerful, but… this Uchiha Yuta's physical abilities are on another level!"
"The Uchiha Clan truly lives up to its reputation. Even a ninja who focuses purely on taijutsu has reached such terrifying heights."
"Eleven years old, and he's already a taijutsu master… Uchiha talent is terrifying!"
---
The silence of the battlefield suddenly shattered as murmurs turned into excited discussions.
Today's assessment had been nothing short of shocking.
Not only had they witnessed the fearsome power of Shisui's Susanoo, but they had also seen an unheard-of prodigy, Uchiha Yuta, match it in raw strength using only his fists. It was an eye-opening spectacle for everyone present.
"Haha! Youth is burning bright! I'm going to run ten laps around Konoha!"
Might Guy, fueled by passion, burst into laughter and struck a dynamic pose, flashing his gleaming white teeth.
"Kakashi, I'm heading off to train!"
Whoosh!!
Before Kakashi could react, Guy had already vanished, sprinting away at full speed.
He couldn't stay still after witnessing such an incredible display of taijutsu. As someone who prided himself on physical prowess, he felt an overwhelming urge to push himself even further.
"Ah… Fine, fine."
Kakashi sighed, watching his rival disappear. Then, after a long pause, he glanced at Uchiha Yuta.
His eyes flickered with determination.
It was time to shake off the ghosts of his past. Only by moving forward could he truly honor the memories of Obito and Rin.
In that moment, a new light seemed to shine within Konoha, radiating from Kakashi himself.
---
"The assessment is over!"
"Tonight, Uchiha Yuta is treating us to grilled fish!"
From a distance, Yugao Uzuki and Kurenai Yuhi exchanged gleeful looks, their fists clenched in excitement. Their eyes sparkled as they gazed at Uchiha Yuta.
What a treasure of a boy!
---
"Damn it!!"
Asuma Sarutobi crushed his cigarette with irritation.
What angered him even more than Yuta's overwhelming strength was how Kurenai's gaze had remained fixed on him the entire time.
---
"Let's go."
"We need to report this. Another genius has emerged from the Uchiha Clan."
---
With the assessment concluded, the various ninja factions began dispersing.
The ANBU, the Root operatives, the Konoha Military Police, and representatives from prominent families—
One by one, they all left the scene, each aware that Uchiha Yuta's taijutsu prowess was about to shake Konoha to its core.

Hokage's Office
"Uchiha Yuta's physical skills are astonishing!"
Watching through his crystal ball, Hiruzen Sarutobi set down his pipe, his expression shifting as he muttered, "It's a shame… A taijutsu genius, but he's a member of the Uchiha Clan. And he refuses to practice ninjutsu or chakra techniques."
"Hmph..."
Danzo Shimura, standing nearby, sneered. "Shisui didn't even go all out. If he had, Yuta would have been crushed."
"Hmm…"
Sarutobi nodded thoughtfully. "A ninja who doesn't use chakra or ninjutsu—no matter how strong—what real threat could he pose?"
Danzo's eyes glinted with greed. "As long as he remains an Uchiha without the Sharingan, we can tolerate him."
"That's true…"
Sarutobi exhaled a thick puff of smoke and mused, "Since Yuta has officially passed the Uchiha Genin assessment, let's make a simple statement."
"Heh."
Danzo smirked. "The statement should emphasize that Uchiha Yuta is the first taijutsu specialist of the Uchiha Clan. We should also encourage the Uchiha to focus on taijutsu."
"No."
Sarutobi's face darkened as he frowned.
Damn it, Danzo.
Calling Yuta the "first" taijutsu ninja of the Uchiha Clan? Encouraging the clan to focus on taijutsu instead of the Sharingan?
That would be nothing short of a direct insult.
Everyone knew that the pride of the Uchiha Clan lay in their dojutsu. Forcing them down this path would be like spitting in their faces.
"Suit yourself."
Danzo shrugged indifferently. "Either way, I think it's time for the Uchiha to be put in their place."
"Hmph."
Sarutobi's eyes narrowed as he took another deep drag from his pipe, the embers glowing in the dim office.
He watched Danzo's retreating figure with a complex expression.
'Putting the Uchiha in their place…?'
It seemed like Danzo had already begun planning something.
