Chapter 0028: Terrifying Combat Talent
Shock and astonishment…
Upon hearing my audacious remark, not only was Danzan, the person directly involved, taken aback, but even the three Sannin, who were not far off, couldn't help but be astounded.
Did this kid not realize that he was up against a Special Jonin?! Even within the entire ninja world, that's a high-level fighter. Where did this freshly graduated student get the confidence to face such a challenge?!
"Ha, haha." After a few seconds of daze, Danzan's fury turned into a cold, mocking smile. He gazed at me and said, "Good! Damn little brat! I'll make you pay dearly for your arrogance!" He said this while reaching for his waist.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The sound of objects slicing through the air rang out as several shuriken shot towards me.
As expected of a Special Jonin, Uchiha Danzan's shuriken were not only swift and precise but also came from tricky angles, making them almost impossible to defend against.
I narrowed my eyes, quickly pulling out a kunai from my ninja tool pouch. I swung it through the air with lightning speed.
Cling, cling, cling.
A series of metallic clinks sounded as sparks flew. In an instant, all the shuriken were deflected and fell uselessly to the ground. At that moment, Danzan had already opened his mouth, spewing out a blazing fireball.
After the initial lesson, Danzan had clearly stopped underestimating me and was now fully serious. As a ninja, this was indeed the right approach.
It's understandable. To be promoted to Special Jonin at such a young age, his abilities and mindset were undoubtedly extraordinary. If he were merely blindly arrogant, he probably would have perished long ago.
As the fireball roared towards me, I didn't show any signs of panic. My hands moved at a dazzling speed, forming seals, and I took a deep breath.
Water Release: Water Bullet!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
A series of water bullets, each as large as a volleyball, shot out continuously. The numerous bullets converged and collided forcefully with the fireball.
Hiss, hiss, hiss.
The fireball was extinguished, and the water bullets turned into steam, filling the air. The entire area became shrouded in a dense fog, with visibility reduced to almost zero.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a kunai appeared in front of me, aiming straight at my forehead.
Such ordinary smoke was a significant obstacle for me, but for someone with the Sharingan like Danzan, it was no problem. His attacks were precise and fierce, treating me as a life-or-death adversary.
Cling.
Facing the sudden attack, I reacted quickly, swinging my kunai to intercept the attack.
"Hm?" Danzan let out a surprised sound. My quick reflexes clearly surprised him.
In his original plan, I should have either been heavily injured or exposed a vulnerability due to his surprise attack. But the reality was that this boy had perfectly defended against his ambush!
I didn't care about his internal thoughts. After blocking his attack, I immediately retaliated. I lifted my right leg and struck Danzan with a kick.
"Ugh."
He blocked with one arm and let out a groan.
Damn, that hurts!
This was his initial reaction. It felt as if he had blocked not a kid's kick but a steel rod.
Such physical prowess would be comparable to that of a Special Jonin specializing in physical techniques. But this kid was only eight or nine years old. How on earth had he trained to this level?
Whoosh.
I closed in again, executing a series of taijutsu techniques—punches, thrusts, powerful advances, and Leaf Whirls—continuously attacking him.
Danzan was clearly not a taijutsu type of ninja. He tried to create distance to use ninjutsu, but I didn't give him a chance. Facing my relentless assault, his frustration grew. Being suppressed by a brat he disliked was not a pleasant feeling.
As time passed, his anxiety increased, and his openings became more frequent.
Whoosh.
A kunai flew past Danzan's ear, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the kunai suddenly curved in mid-air and came back around.
Is this the Uchiha clan's secret manipulation technique?
Uchiha Danzan immediately realized that this must have been taught to me by his "little fiancée," which was infuriating! So you say you're not in a special relationship with her?!
At this moment, he felt an intense green rage and overwhelming frustration. He was so enraged that he didn't notice that the kunai's true target was not him.
When he finally realized my intention, his hands and feet had already been tightly bound by transparent steel wire, unable to move.
"You… you bastard… You've been scheming against me since earlier?!" Danzan's face was twisted in anger.
"Not exactly scheming, just simple tactical application," I scratched my head and smiled.

So, I'm planning on dropping this. Because, I'm not earning much from it. Ik I shouldn't be money-centred, but at the end of the day, I expect something for my hard work... I'm not even getting much Powerstones so book is not shown in the rankings much...
Also, people hate 'slave system' concept and have bombarded me with negative reviews and chapter comments with 'I'm dropping' and what not?
This novel has around 800+ chapters and I was planning on translating all...
Well, I'll leave it up to you guys. I'll continue it for one-two more weeks.
Thanks for your time, next chapter in 4 hours.
