Naruto: Most Powerful Bloodline

Shigure easily copied the technique and released it.

"Impossible!" Uchiha Eiji couldn't believe it. His ultimate move, his secret technique, had been copied and used by Shigure in an instant.

Shigure quickly gathered chakra in his throat and unleashed a massive fireball, one far more powerful and larger than Uchiha Eiji's. The fireball shot toward Uchiha Eiji with intense force, immediately overwhelming him.

The two fireballs collided in mid-air, their flames clashing and canceling each other out. However, in the end, Uchiha Eiji's fireball collapsed, and Shigure's fireball continued its trajectory, threatening to engulf Uchiha Eiji.

At the critical moment, Uchiha Eiji froze in place, unable to move, as the fireball drew nearer.

"Tudun: Tuliubi!" A voice called from behind, and a large dirt wall suddenly erupted from the ground, blocking the fireball. The impact caused the wall to shake violently, but Uchiha Eiji, drenched in sweat, barely survived.

Shigure's Byakugan activated, and his eyes clearly saw the man who had used the Earth Style technique—a middle-aged ninja from the Uchiha clan, likely connected to Uchiha Eiji. The ninja stepped forward with an air of authority.

"Little brat, you're being a little too ruthless, don't you think?" The older Uchiha clan member scolded, his tone laced with disdain.

"Brother Kape! Thank goodness you're here!" Uchiha Eiji exclaimed with relief.

"Hmph! If I hadn't come, you'd have lost to this kid who has no parents," Uchiha Kape said, clearly irritated by Shigure's actions.

Shigure's gaze turned cold as he sized up Uchiha Kape. His anger flared, and he scoffed, "So after I defeat the younger one, the old man shows up. What, are the Uchiha clan going to send out their patriarch next?"

"Hmph! You think you can force the patriarch to step in? Don't kid yourself! But I will admit, you're clever enough not to call yourself a true Uchiha. Consider yourself lucky today!" Uchiha Kape sneered. "Next time, I won't go easy on you." With that, he turned and started to leave with Uchiha Eiji.

But Shigure wasn't about to let them go so easily. He wasn't done yet.

With a swift motion, Shigure formed seals, and another fireball appeared.

"Want to run? Fire Style: Howl of the Fireball!" The fireball blazed brighter than the previous one. Uchiha Kape froze momentarily, clearly taken by surprise. He quickly grabbed Uchiha Eiji and dashed to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Uchiha Kape glared back, his expression angry and embarrassed. "What the hell are you trying to do, brat!?"

Shigure glared coldly. "I'll settle this. Give me Xiaoxing's necklace, and I won't kill you."

"Dare you!" Uchiha Kape shouted, his face reddening with fury.

Shigure's eyes were icy, and his pupils momentarily flashed with a rare white glow. Uchiha Kape shuddered as the intensity of Shigure's gaze intensified.

After a tense pause, Uchiha Kape turned his glare to Uchiha Eiji, and with a defeated sigh, he reluctantly tossed Xiaoxing's necklace toward Shigure. Shigure smoothly caught it.

Shigure held up the necklace, and with a cold smile, he watched as Uchiha Kape and Uchiha Eiji gritted their teeth in frustration. Realizing they had no way to win, they finally retreated.

Once they left, Shigure turned around and walked back toward the ramen shop.

When he arrived, he pulled out the necklace, and Xiaoxing's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Wow! Brother Shigure, is this really my necklace?!"

"Of course, Xiaoxing!" Shigure smiled warmly. "I made sure that guy wouldn't bully you anymore. Don't worry."

Xiaoxing's eyes filled with tears as she hugged Shigure tightly. "Thank you, Brother Shigure!"

After they finished their meal, Shigure bid farewell to Xiaoxing and headed home. He was still buzzing with excitement. As soon as he entered his room, he immediately started practicing seals again.

He had copied Uchiha Kape's Earth Style technique when he had used Tudun: Tuliubi.

"Tudun: Tuliubi!" Shigure quickly used the technique, and an enormous dirt wall sprang from the ground. It was even larger and thicker than the one Kape had created.

Shigure grinned, satisfied with his work. "After a day of practice, using the Byakugan is becoming even easier. It seems like the combination of the Byakugan and Three-Tomoe Sharingan allows me to instantly replicate special techniques like Ninso Phantom!"

Shigure paused for a moment, reflecting on his newfound powers. "The pure bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki clan allows me to access all five chakra natures: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Lightning, plus Yin and Yang Release. That's why I can master ninjutsu so quickly."

He stopped himself, suddenly realizing something. "My chakra is now at the standard of a Kage level shinobi. No wonder my techniques are becoming stronger."

Shigure chuckled as he realized the full extent of his abilities. "This system... it disappears after I say a word. I wonder what it takes to trigger it again."

He sighed and lay back, deep in thought. "I don't know how long this life will last… Tomorrow I'll officially become a Chūnin. I wonder who my guide and teammates will be?"

Shigure's eyelids grew heavy as he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Shigure awoke to the dawn breaking over Konoha. When he stood in front of the mirror, he noticed a change in his appearance. His skin seemed even fairer, and his horns had grown slightly larger.

"It looks like the blood in my body has caused my body to evolve again," Shigure muttered.

His chakra felt even more abundant than yesterday, fueling his excitement.

Shigure put on his Konoha headband and changed into a sharp black ninja uniform. He made his way to the ninja academy for his final graduation exam.

As he entered the academy, the students couldn't help but stare.

"Oh my god! This guy is unscathed!!"

"Did Uchiha not cause trouble for him?"

"After what happened yesterday, Uchiha will definitely retaliate… maybe he's not ready yet!"

But their attention quickly shifted to Uchiha Eiji, who stumbled into the classroom, looking battered and bruised.

"What… How is this possible!? Uchiha was actually injured?"

"Wait, what? Did Shigure injure him?"

"That's Uchiha Eiji! How could Shigure possibly hurt him?"

"Shhh! Keep it down… don't talk nonsense."

"Yeah, early! Uchiha, classmate!" one student whispered.

Shigure narrowed his eyes and observed Uchiha Eiji as he entered, a cold sneer forming on his face. Uchiha Eiji took a half step back, swallowing nervously as he saw Shigure's cold demeanor. With a forced sneer, he walked to his seat and sat down, refusing to meet Shigure's gaze.
