Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Troublemakers
Happy moments always passed too quickly.
After Chinya and Kushina Uzumaki wandered around Konoha, night had already fallen.
After reluctantly dropping Kushina off at her estate, Chinya made his way alone toward Orochimaru's underground base.
The old house hadn't been touched in ages—it must've been buried under layers of dust by now. Since staying there overnight would mean having to clean up, Chinya found it troublesome and decided to return directly to the base instead.
Walking along, Chinya recalled his earlier conversation with Mito Uzumaki.
In truth, Chinya could tell that Mito saw him as just another kid.
But he couldn't bring himself to regard Mito as an elder.
No matter how much love Mito showed Kushina, it wouldn't change the fact that she was willing to hurt her for Konoha's sake.
Plus, Mito's Negative Emotions Sensing ability was extremely inconvenient for Chinya.
It meant that whenever Chinya lied or kept something hidden, Mito would catch on right away.
Was there any way to deceive Mito?
Chinya pondered over this, trying to come up with a possible solution.
Just as Chinya was deeply immersed in thought, two figures suddenly blocked his path.
Chinya looked up and frowned slightly.
That crest on their clothes belonged to the Uchiha Clan.
"Hey look who it is—Isn't this Uchiha Chinya?"
"Pfft, 'Uchiha Chinya'? He doesn't even carry the Uchiha name. Just a bastard with no claim to it."
"Hahahaha, right! I almost forgot!"
These two Uchiha guys weren't even hiding their mockery of Chinya.
Chinya's expression darkened. He had no intention of wasting time on them and tried to walk past.
But they cut him off from both sides.
"Why in such a hurry? Hit a nerve did we?"
"You can't even argue against the truth, can you, bastard!"
...
Chinya spoke coldly, "Can you move?"
Upon hearing Chinya tell them to scram, the two laughed even harder.
The Uchiha named Uchiha Motoi standing before Chinya reached out to shove him roughly.
Chinya immediately grabbed Uchiha Motoi's wrist tightly.
Though Motoi was older than Chinya, thanks to his strict training regimen, Chinya possessed far greater strength.
As Chinya tightened his grip gradually, Uchiha Motoi's face twisted painfully.
"Let go! Let me go!"
Chinya ignored him completely, continuing to squeeze harder.
Seeing the situation turn bad, the other Uchiha, Uchiha Mū, standing behind Chinya, threw a punch straight at Chinya's head.
Without even turning, Chinya launched a powerful backward kick straight into Uchiha Mū's chest, sending him flying away.
Chinya still held onto Uchiha Motoi's wrist firmly.
He barely glanced at Motoi, eyes half-lowered, clearly uninterested: "Now… will you get lost?"
Motoi gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain of his wrist without submitting.
"You're nothing but a rejected child of the Uchiha, bastard! How dare you talk to me like that! Die!"
Uchiha Motoi pulled out a kunai from his sleeve, aiming directly at Chinya's head.
"Tsk, too slow."
Chinya tilted his head slightly, letting the kunai slice empty air past him.
Chinya drove his knee straight into Uchiha Motoi's abdomen.
"Kgh!"
The searing pain nearly popped Motoi's eyes wide open, and the kunai in his hand clattered to the ground.
Still gripping Motoi's wrist, Chinya followed up with an elbow strike to his head.
Dazed and staggering, Motoi stumbled backward and fell flat onto the ground.
"Motoi!"
Uchiha Mū hurried forward to help Motoi up.
Wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, Motoi glared hatefully at Chinya. "Mū, let's take him together! Show this bastard what he's got coming!"
Motoi hurled several shuriken toward Chinya.
In an instant, Chinya unsheathed the katana at his waist. The blade flashed through the air, slicing every one of Motoi's shuriken mid-flight.
Uchiha Motoi and Uchiha Mū both pulled out kunai and rushed at Chinya.
But in the blink of an eye, Chinya vanished from their sight.
"What? Is it the [Shifting Body Technique]?"
"Where'd he go?"
A bone-chilling voice echoed behind them: "Not the Shifting Body Technique at all—just pure speed. I already told you, you're too slow."
Using the flat side of his blade, Chinya mercilessly struck Motoi's right arm that held the kunai.
Motoi's right arm twisted grotesquely—clearly broken.
"Ahhh!"
Letting out a scream of agony, Motoi curled up on the ground clutching his broken arm, rolling over.
Next, Chinya grabbed Mū by the arm from behind—the one holding the kunai—and kicked him in the knees, forcing Mū to collapse to the floor.
Placing his right foot on Mū's back while still gripping his right arm, Chinya softly said, "One of Konoha's rules is never to turn your weapons on teammates. You two attacked first—with kunai no less. So defending myself by breaking an arm each doesn't seem too harsh, does it?"
To Mū, Chinya's voice sounded like the whisper of a demon.
Trembling in fear, Mū begged, "Please, no!"
Ignoring Mū's pleas, Chinya pressed down harder with his foot. A sickening crack filled the air as he snapped Mū's right arm.
Just like Motoi before him, Mū now writhed on the ground clutching his broken arm.
Looking down coldly at them, Chinya scoffed, "So weak… Uchiha—huh."
Even with his arm shattered by Chinya, Motoi still wore a defiant expression, glaring daggers at him. "This won't end here! The Uchiha clan won't let you get away with this!"
Shaking his head, Chinya replied with deep contempt, "Judging by how you two look—you're sixteen or seventeen already, yet neither activated your Sharingan even after getting your arms broken. Is that because you haven't activated yours yet?
If this is what the entire Uchiha clan looks like—then honestly, I've got nothing to worry about."
Their faces paled, then flushed red with rage. Motoi and Mū opened their mouths to retort—but then saw something so unbelievable that words completely failed them.
Chinya activated his Sharingan, crimson eyes fixed on the two men as a smirk curved his lips. "To be honest, the Uchiha's Sharingan is actually pretty useful."
As Chinya turned to leave, he stopped in his tracks. He glanced back at the pair and said, "Oh right, you Uchiha, as Konoha's Security Force, aren't you the ones who love accusing others the most?
I'll be waiting — make sure you come find me. I'll be at Orochimaru-sensei's Base. Don't tell me you don't know who Orochimaru-sensei is — go ask the other members of your Uchiha clan when you get back."
Uchiha Motoi and Uchiha Mū naturally knew exactly who Orochimaru was — one of Konoha's legendary Sannin.
They never expected that Chinya had not only activated the Sharingan — something they themselves had yet to achieve — but had also become a student of one of the Sannin, Orochimaru.
Chinya snorted at the disheveled pair, muttering a curse under his breath about what idiots they were, before turning and walking away.
