In Konoha, yeah, the Uchiha clan was strong—no one's arguing that—but did they seriously think they could just stomp around like gods now?
What, did they think the will of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and the current Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, plus the backup team of Advisor Danzo, were just... decorative trash bags?
This was a main street in Konoha—okay, fine, a little off the beaten path—but come on, it's still the freaking Hidden Leaf. You could sneeze and hit an Anbu.
Yuya gave the most low-effort reply in history.
"Why the hell should I?"
"You beat up my little brother Izumiya," Han snapped. "You've pissed off the Uchiha."
Uchiha Han's face twitched at Yuya's casual tone. With a cold "hmph," he threw a straight-up sucker punch right at Yuya's face.
This bastard really dared to throw hands in public?!
Even Yuya was caught a little off guard. Had the Uchiha gotten so cocky they thought the village laws were printed on toilet paper?
But—if this guy wanted to get close and trade punches?
Heh. Even if you're a chunin, so what? You must have grown up chewing glue.
Without blinking, Yuya clenched his own fist and hurled it straight out.
BOOOOM!!!
The two fists collided like thunderclaps echoing off the Hokage Rock.
In terms of taijutsu speed, Yuya was no worse than Uchiha Han—and that guy was a certified Uchiha Chunin with a permanent scowl.
But when it came to strength? Boy.
Yuya had Shock Release—a bloodline limit that said "screw your bones and your ego."
That shockwave force could tear through a C-rank jutsu like it was a wet tissue. In close combat, Yuya's punches were basically walking C-rank disasters.
And you think a chunin's body could just eat that?
That's a comedy special waiting to happen.
CRACK!!
The white halo on Yuya's fist burst like fireworks, and Uchiha Han's smug face did a full 180.
A terrifying shockwave exploded forward through Yuya's punch, traveling up Han's arm like "hey there, let me ruin your day."
Even Han's whole body started sounding like a bag of snapping twigs.
Like his bones were already writing their will.
Han's face went pale as he tried to pump chakra like crazy to hold himself together, but nope—Yuya's punch still sent him flying like a ragdoll launched from a party cannon.
Dude looked like he got smacked by a thunder god with anger issues.
"Nani the f*?!"** Han's eyes screamed disbelief.
He'd already heard from his brother Izumi that Yuya had some weird bloodline thing and was good at taijutsu.
But he'd brushed it off like, "Pfft, so what if he's strong? He's a dropout with baby legs."
Strong? How strong could a school flunky even be?
Han was a Chunin! And not just any chunin—he was Uchiha Han! Certified Clan Brat™!
A chunin beating up some ninja school dropout should be, like, tutorial-level stuff.
So he didn't even plan to fight seriously. Just walk up, flex a few moves, kick Yuya around a bit, collect a win, boom—done.
Except... Yuya's punch almost had him seeing his own ancestors.
Han was shook. Mentally, physically, spiritually shook.
Meanwhile, Yuya stared at the still-twitching Han with sparkling eyes.
"Whoa… so that's a chunin. Tough bastard."
If it had been a genin taking that hit, they'd have been coughing blood like a wuxia extra. Might've even needed dental records to ID the body.
As for some poor academy student? They'd be lucky to end up as a smear on the pavement.
But Han, despite being forced back like a sack of trash in a windstorm, wasn't injured.
Yuya now had a whole new respect for how tanky a real chunin could be.
Han, however, had nothing but shame bubbling inside.
"Damn brat... just one stupid bloodline and you think you can show off in front of the Uchiha?!"
By now, a few curious villagers were stopping to watch.
Even though this area was kinda quiet, Konoha was a major ninja village. "Secluded" here just meant you could only hear four people peeing instead of forty.
More and more people began to gather, casting surprised glances over.
Han felt his face heat up. A chunin, getting decked by a kid who hadn't even graduated? In front of an audience?
He was a whole-ass embarrassment.
Rage twisted his face, but even now—he didn't use ninjutsu. Nope. This dude was determined to punch away his shame like a true discount young master.
Yuya blinked. "Wait, this dumbass still wants to fight me with taijutsu?"
A grin crept onto his face.
"Are all Uchiha this drunk on their own ego?"
Nearby whispers echoed—
"Hey, isn't that Han from the Uchiha?"
"That poor kid, what did he do to piss them off?"
"Must be one of the academy students. He's gonna get messed up bad…"
Yuya stood there, relaxed, as Han charged again. This time?
BOOM!!
Yuya didn't dodge. Didn't parry. He didn't even flinch.
One punch.
Just one.
All your taijutsu? All your clan technique? Your Sharingan? Your fancy bloodline?
Yeah, none of that mattered.
Eat fist.
Yuya's strategy was simple: "Why bother blocking your moves when I can punch your whole damn style into extinction?"
This time, Han tried something smarter. Instead of taking it head-on, he sidestepped and aimed a roundhouse kick at Yuya.
He figured—If I don't take the punch directly, that shockwave thing won't hit me.
Smart thought.
Too bad reality said: Sike.
BOOM!!!
Yuya's punch missed—but it still exploded like a firecracker in a cave.
It hit nothing… and still cracked the air like glass.
CRACK!!
The empty air shattered like a fragile mirror. That shockwave burst out and bulldozed everything in front of it—including Han.
"WHAT?!" Han's eyes popped.
He dodged! He clearly dodged! So why the hell was his whole body still getting slapped by shockwaves like it owed money?
Within a split second, his clothes were wrinkling and tearing like paper in a blender.
And this time—it was even worse.
Last time, he took the punch head-on and at least canceled a bit of the force.
But this time? No contact, no resistance, no hope.
The shockwave hit him full force like a train filled with spite.
BANG!!
Han gritted his teeth and tried to shield his chest with both arms, but he could barely keep standing.
And the punch?
Didn't care.
BOOOOM!!!
Right in front of the entire crowd, Uchiha Han got yeeted into the air again, like someone slapped him with the invisible hand of embarrassment.
Yuya just stood there like, "Bro... I told you not to get cute."
