Konoha: Infinite Talent Chapter 2

This... he awakened it already? He only had a slight emotional fluctuation, right? Nagayo couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly. Truly, the bloodline of Indra!

The Sharingan is the eye of the heart's reflection. Not just the awakening of the Mangekyō, every stage of the Sharingan's awakening and upgrade requires emotional stimulation.

In the original work, Uchiha Itachi's teammates during his Genin days were killed by Uchiha Obito to protect him. At that time, 8-year-old Itachi awakened his one-tomoe Sharingan.

Uchiha Sasuke awakened his one-tomoe Sharingan because his older brother massacred their clan and killed their parents.

Uchiha Obito awakened his Sharingan directly with two tomoe when Kakashi was injured protecting him.

And Nagayo? He awakened his Sharingan just by complaining about Uchiha Itachi because he disliked him? What terrifying bloodline strength!

"As long as the bloodline power is strong enough, once the eye power reaches a critical point, simple emotional stimulation can trigger advancement." Nagayo verified his conjecture about the Mangekyō.

Sure enough, the sudden change in eye power like the Mangekyō is an unorthodox path.

Just as Nagayo was about to understand the abilities of the Sharingan, From the neighbor's yard next door, a petite figure climbed a ladder and peeked over the wall: "Nagayo, Nagayo, dinner is ready."

It was his neighbor, his childhood friend and next-door neighbor, Uchiha Izumi. When his parents were alive, the two families were always close, and after his parents died, Izumi's parents basically took care of him.

A year ago, during the Nine-Tails' attack, he foresaw the danger and helped Izumi's family escape. Since then, Izumi's parents have treated him almost like their own child.

Turn off the Sharingan, take a deep breath, and calm down. However, Nagayo found that he couldn't calm down at all. It was like having an interesting game in front of you, but your parents called you away to do chores.

His mood remained cheerful and high, almost impatient, so much so that he couldn't calm down during dinner and was tapped on the head several times by Izumi's mother before he barely restrained himself.

After dinner, he couldn't wait to drag Izumi to the yard for sparring.

Uchiha Izumi's grades at the Ninja Academy were slightly better than his. She was especially skilled in Taijutsu, and Nagayo was usually no match for her in their Taijutsu sparring sessions. Occasionally, a stray punch or kick would land on him.

Izumi, unhurried, prepared all the necessary first-aid items: ice packs, bandages, medicinal wine for bruises, and so on.

Then, she tied her long, straight black hair into a single ponytail behind her head, adding a touch of dashingness to her usually gentle appearance. "I'll try to be careful and not hit you," Izumi said softly.

"…You don't need to today. No, you won't need to from now on," Nagayo said, his lips twitching. It was a bit embarrassing to have a girl his age say she'd go easy on him...

The two quickly engaged in combat. Once they started fighting, Nagayo truly understood the changes that had occurred within him.

His strength and speed had significantly increased. His perception was greatly enhanced; even without activating the Sharingan, he could quickly see his opponent's movements, his brain making rapid judgments and agile responses.

Is this the feeling of genius? Every move and stance, almost without much thought, was handled with ease.

The faint sound of wind from a fist rang in his ear. Without needing to see, Nagayo reacted directly, slightly shifting his body to dodge, while simultaneously grabbing Izumi's arm, pressing it behind her back and pinning her against her back.

"..." Uchiha Izumi was restrained before she could react, a look of blankness and surprise on her pretty face. When did Nagayo... become so strong? Was it a coincidence, or something else?

Remembering Nagayo's earlier words about not needing her to hold back, Izumi blinked and became serious.

However. After a few more rounds, Izumi found herself losing faster and faster. From her techniques being easily countered to gradually being unable to keep up with Nagayo's pace, she was even subdued in just a few moves.

"Whew~ Stop, stop, let's take a break," Izumi finally couldn't take it anymore and called for a halt.

"Nagayo, how did you become so strong?" Izumi was slightly out of breath, looking very curious. Her forte was Taijutsu, and even when she held back a little, Nagayo was no match for her. Now, the situation was completely reversed.

Recalling Nagayo's undisguised joy during dinner, Izumi tentatively asked, "Did you... awaken your Sharingan?" But during the sparring, Nagayo's eyes didn't change.

"That's right." Nagayo's lips curled slightly, and Chakra gathered in his eyes, revealing the one-tomoe Sharingan pattern.

"Amazing!" Izumi genuinely praised him. Awakening the Sharingan at the age of just over seven, not many in the entire Uchiha clan could do that, right? In her understanding, Uchiha Itachi, who had been the top student in every aspect since entering the academy, hadn't awakened his Sharingan yet.

"It feels... like the whole world has changed since awakening the Sharingan," Nagayo said, scanning the yard. The texture of the trees, the swaying of the leaves in the wind, the fluttering of the mosquito's wings, were all clearly visible, automatically captured, analyzed, and transmitted to his brain by the Sharingan.

If ordinary eyes require active observation and transmission of information to the brain, Then the Sharingan's perception automatically observes, analyzes, and directly transmits the results to the brain!

Even with just a one-tomoe Sharingan, the improvement in perception was incomparable. The Sharingan, indeed one of the most famous bloodline limits in the ninja world. Naruto, also known as the Five Villages Melee-Eye Legend, wasn't wrong.

After a short rest, Izumi was pulled up by Nagayo for more sparring. The previous battles were without the Sharingan activated. Now was the first time to experience the power of the Sharingan in combat.

With the Sharingan's perception, Nagayo felt like Izumi's attacks were slowed down, like slow motion. Of course, this was just an illusion. It was just an illusion created by the brain having more time to react after the Sharingan's perception ability increased.

Easily deflecting Izumi's punch, he countered with a punch of his own. As his fist got closer and closer to Izumi's eye, and she still hadn't reacted, Nagayo felt a sense of dread: "Crap!"

However, his brain reacted in time, but his fist couldn't stop, and he punched Uchiha Izumi in the left eye.

"Ah!" A sharp cry of pain was let out.
