Chapter 8 (Patreon)

- YU! – after Itazi threw out the kunai, Yu froze in place, it seemed that he was greatly frightened by the sight of the kunai flying at him.

The two girls Mayuna and Momoka, seeing this, closed their eyes in fear, they did not want to see Yu getting hurt.

However, time passed, but apart from the sounds of clanging a moment ago, nothing else was heard, no screams, no swearing, nothing. Absolute silence, Manyuna, Momoka and Urushi looked towards Yu and saw that everything was fine with him, he was standing in the same place as before, and not far from him were those same three kunai.

Faced with three kunai thrown in Itazi's anger, Yu did not panic; at some point, three shuriken appeared in his hand, which in turn, a moment later flew towards the three kunai and knocked them down.

Itazi, who saw this, was incredibly surprised, he could not believe that a child from the orphanage was able to knock down his kunai, he was a student at the academy and far from the weakest, but even he could not have done it as easily as Yu did it.

- A student of the ninja academy, uses weapons to attack children without chakra and without the strength to evade them. Even if you are a resident of the village, as far as I know, the punishment for such a thing is very severe,” Yu said looking at Itazi, he was pleased with himself, it was the pride of a man who had worked for a long time and finally these efforts justified themselves.

Without daily training with shurikens using Itachi's technique, it is unlikely that Yu would have been able to fight off these kunai so easily today. Most likely he would have to use the power of the devil fruit.

........

“What a bastard, he’s probably lucky,” having recovered from the shock and listening to Yu’s words, Itazi became even more angry.

Imagining the punishment that awaits him if rumors of this spread, Itazi activated all his chakra and rushed towards Yu, he believed that he could defeat Yu as well as Urushi with one good blow.

However, after the collision, Itazi's fist was caught by Yu's small hand, however, this small hand was so strong that Itazi could not escape from its deadly grip even if he tried his best.

"Chakra? Does he have chakra too? - Feeling the chakra flowing inside Yu, Itazi's eyes widened, at such a young age, a boy who was obviously not a student at the academy could sense and develop chakra? This was something he couldn't understand.

In the entire village, only the descendants of the Uchiha, Hyuuga and some other children from large families managed to accomplish such a feat.

“If you compare chakra, then I’m not necessarily weaker than you,” Itazi said, clenching his fist.

After awakening the Devil in his body and receiving the power of the Devil Fruit, Yu's body underwent great changes. Although now, his body was still not fully developed, it was already many times stronger than the body of Itazi in front of him, and could also hold much more chakra than the body of an ordinary person.

“Don’t be so smug,” Itazi said, faced with Yu’s indifferent gaze, Itazi could no longer think rationally. The thought of punishment and the fact that others might find out that one of the best students at the academy could not cope with a child from the orphanage made him very nervous.

He was afraid that after today they would laugh at him if he did not deal with this brat.

“Poof” - suddenly everything was covered in white smoke and after it dissipated, a piece of burning material appeared in the hands of Yu, who had recently clenched Itazi’s fist, “Replacement Technique”. Itazi, unable to free his fist from Yu's grasp, decides to use this trick to free himself.

At this moment, Yu who knew what this elemental ninjutsu meant panicked a little, in truth, he was also a little excited, this was the first time he saw this action in reality and not on the TV screen.

- Get it, bastard! - Itazi had already decided in his heart that he would severely wound Yu in the face and beat him half to death in order to scare him to such an extent that Yu would be afraid to even catch his eye.

Urushi saw the contented and sinister smile on Itazi's face; he understood this child's plan without any explanation. And this made him scared, he knew Yu was in terrible danger.

"STOP!"

"NO NEED"

Urushi and the girls shouted these words in unison, they didn’t want Yu to get terrible injuries, because it was just a simple fight, mischief.

Yu, who saw all this, suddenly, for an unknown reason, lost all emotions, he became indifferent to everything. Turning sharply, he looked straight into the eyes of Itazi flying in his direction, at that moment various kinds of thoughts flashed through Yu’s head.

"Why why why? Why are people like Nono still running around different countries and putting their lives in danger...

Every time they put their lives on the line... these people push people like us to the edge...

Don't they know..."

Yu remembered tenderly and full of love the face of Nono, who gave up a lot so that children like Yu had a place where they could live in peace.

In Yu's eyes, Konoha could prosper thanks to people like Nono who sacrificed themselves for the safety of the village.

“Why these people who obviously know nothing! They are trying to trample this hard-won world!!!” - With these words, Yu’s amber eyes acquired a reddish tint.

Looking at Itazi, who had a sadistic smile on his face, Yu felt something incredibly crazy and demonic boiling inside him.

“Kaboom” - a loud sound of impact was heard, accompanied by a crunching sound, the boy’s body, like a cannonball, flew off in the opposite direction. Blood sprayed out under the stunned gazes of everyone present.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh it hurts! Woo-oo-oo” - with a cry full of pain, Itazi collapsed to the ground, his hand, which had recently been holding a kunai, was broken and dislocated, blood was oozing from the wound.

“If you make even one more sound, I’ll make a hole in your head,” a calm and emotionless voice sounded.

Itazi, who had been screaming at the top of his lungs, covered his mouth with his uninjured hand, he looked with fear at the approaching Yu. At that moment, Yu stopped not far from Itazi and pointed his hand at him, the fingers of which were bent to depict the figure of a pistol.

Thread Bullet - this was one of the abilities available to the Thread Man; by raising a finger, one could turn the tip of the index finger into a dense clot of thread and shoot it at high speed at the enemy.

Its destructive power was enough to easily shatter the bones of an ordinary person. Even if the enemy was at a distance.

- No, don't! Do not kill me!!! - although from the outside, the sight of Yu with his finger pointed at Itazi looked a little comical and childish.

But for Itazi himself this was not the case, he did not know what this gesture meant, but being already a student at the academy, he clearly understood that there were many seals of strange shapes.

There was also something else, although the others did not notice, but what pierced his arm during the collision was a bunch of threads, incredibly strong and dangerous threads. Itazi believed that if Yu released them again, he would easily break through his skull and kill him.

Along with Itazi's face filled with fear, a dirty smell spread into the air.

An inexplicable pool of liquid flowed from between Itazi's legs, soaking the ground under Yu's feet.

Even though he was a student of the ninja academy, after all, he was only a seven or eight year old boy, under the threat of death, his bladder gave way.
