Naruto: I'm Really Not an Evil Uchiha!

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: In Public



Shimizu didn't say a word in the end, but Yuhi Kurenai could clearly hear that sentence.

"Genjutsu..."

Yuhi Kurenai's elegant eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Shimizu had used genjutsu to transmit his voice to her before the proctor even announced the start of the match.

And with the proctor busy introducing their names to the audience, it seemed no one had noticed.

Her palm clenched slightly. Shimizu had already shown his dominance from the very beginning.

"If I lose... I'll accept any punishment from you."

Yuhi Kurenai uttered this sentence slowly.

Humans live for pride; even a Buddha fights for a single stick of incense.

Having always been overshadowed by Shimizu, she felt as though her shinobi career might stop here.

No matter what she did, she would think of this. If she faced an enemy skilled in genjutsu in the future, she would undoubtedly fail.

Only by overcoming this inner demon and rebuilding her confidence could she cleanse the dust clouding her heart.

"Anything I want?"

Shimizu's eyes held a playful glint. Kurenai could see the emotion in his gaze.

Her face flushed with anger, but she didn't answer his question. Instead, she turned to the proctor and asked:

"Can we begin the match now?"

"Of course."

The proctor replied with a strange look on his face.

These two... One hadn't said a word, and the other's voice had been too quiet to hear.

Exchanging glances like this—did they not realize this was a public match? He had already finished reading their details long ago.

After waiting forever, they finally asked him if they could begin.

"That's the Uchiha clan for you."

From the audience seats, Jiraiya first scanned the area for any beautiful women before reluctantly shifting his gaze downward.

"This guy's quite handsome. He does have a bit of the Toad Sage's charm, hahaha."

His hearty laughter reached Tsunade's ears.

"What are you being so narcissistic about?"

Tsunade almost wanted to knock Jiraiya on the head to teach him a lesson.

But then she remembered they were still in the audience. If she knocked him out and he fell into the arena, it'd be troublesome. So she held back.

"Uchiha Shimizu, huh..."

Even though Tsunade suffered from hemophobia and could no longer perform surgery, her extensive network of colleagues remained unparalleled.

Shizune could follow her and learn theory, but when it came to practical training, Tsunade still had to rely on her former colleagues.

To pave the way for Shizune, Tsunade occasionally visited Konoha Hospital and had heard about the rumors surrounding Uchiha Shimizu.

After a brief pause, she shook her head.

She no longer wanted to care about such matters. The only reason she taught Shizune medical ninjutsu was because her uncle had been Dan Kato.

That's why Tsunade took in the orphaned Shizune, wandering the world with her and only occasionally returning to the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Tsunade-sama, is his talent in medical ninjutsu really as impressive as the rumors say?"

Shizune, wearing a gray-black robe and cradling a small pink pig, asked curiously.

"Puuu-yuu~ Puuu-yuu."

Tonton adjusted to a more comfortable position in Shizune's arms.

"Maybe."

Tsunade didn't say much else, turning her attention back to the match.

Seeing this, Shizune obediently continued watching.

"Genjutsu: Threefold Sakura!"

Countless cherry blossoms appeared out of thin air, gently drifting to the ground. A faint floral fragrance lingered in the air.

The arena was almost entirely covered by cherry blossoms. Shimizu's pitch-black pupils slowly turned scarlet as a single black tomoe appeared.

A One-Tomoe Sharingan!

Shimizu's method of awakening his eyes seemed unconventional. Unlike his clansmen, his progression wasn't irreversible.

While others could only use their Two-Tomoe or Three-Tomoe Sharingan once they advanced, Shimizu could switch freely between them.

In the Final Valley battle, Sasuke, despite being nearly out of chakra, had to maintain his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Even though he could have finished Naruto, the backlash caused a lapse in focus, giving Naruto the chance to land a punch that sent him flying into the wall.

"A One-Tomoe..."

Yuhi Kurenai gritted her teeth. She didn't know much about the Sharingan, but she did know that each tomoe signified greater power.

Shimizu had shown his Three-Tomoe Sharingan before. Now, by displaying only a One-Tomoe Sharingan, he was clearly looking down on her!

"Narakumi no Jutsu!"

The cherry blossoms immediately rotted, releasing a foul, putrid stench.

Countless zombie-like hands grabbed at Shimizu's feet, their faces twisted, mouths agape in horrifying screams.

With a single kick, Shimizu sent one zombie's head flying.

This technique was meant to force the target to see their greatest fear and inflict psychological trauma.

But Shimizu feared nothing. This illusion's manifestations were less about his fears and more about Kurenai's own.

The head he kicked away looked remarkably like him.

"Genjutsu: Absolute Lotus Bloom."

Seeing Shimizu dispel her genjutsu so easily, Kurenai's palms began to sweat. She gritted her teeth and unleashed her strongest genjutsu.

A massive lotus flower bloomed beneath Shimizu, its petals closing at an imperceptible speed, trapping him within its bud.

The petals tightened further, twisting as though they might crush anything inside. Then, suddenly—

Boom!

The lotus shattered.

Kurenai gasped for breath, her chakra nearly depleted. Her expression was tense as she frantically searched for Shimizu's figure.

"Any genjutsu is meaningless before these eyes."

Kurenai's entire body froze, as if bound by invisible ropes.

"Your first kiss... you still have it, don't you?"

Her vision blurred, and she suddenly saw Shimizu's face inches from her own.

"W-What... are you doing..."

Her voice trembled. She strained her eyes toward the edge of her vision—toward where her father was sitting.

"Father, save me!"

Kurenai screamed silently in her heart, praying that her all-powerful father would rescue her.

Following her gaze, Shimizu looked toward Yuhi Kurenai's father.

Sitting not far from him was Sarutobi Asuma.

"Tell me, what would it feel like to kiss in front of your father?"

Shimizu tilted Kurenai's chin, bringing his nose close enough to smell her fragrant hair.

Then, to her utter shock, he leaned in.

Kurenai's thick lashes fluttered, her tear-filled eyes trembling.

It wasn't until she was almost out of breath that she was finally released.

Her lips glistened with thin strands of saliva, reflecting a rainbow sheen under the sunlight.

An indescribable sense of grievance welled up inside her.

Tears pooled in her eyes. She couldn't stop crying as she thought about her stolen purity.

She had been kissed—forced—in front of her father and a crowd of people!

How could she ever marry now?

Her entire life had been ruined by Shimizu!

Yuhi Kurenai's face flushed crimson, but her gaze burned with hatred. If looks could kill, she would have reduced Shimizu to ashes.
