Ketsuna, in the stance of Gentle Fist pinpointing Chakra points, channeled his Chakra into Mingxi's back Chakra points, not only severing the flow of Chakra within her body but also, with skillful force, putting her body into a 'semi-paralyzed' state.
Her crimson eyes, deprived of Chakra supply, were forced to close, returning to their ink-black color.
"Now you can't move."
Ketsuna dismounted from Mingxi's back, then stood beside her, looking down at her as he spoke.
"One day, I will also pin you down and look down on you!"
Mingxi struggled to lift her head; the physical pain was nothing compared to the humiliation she felt, so she swore an oath to the person beside her, showcasing her resolve.
"..."
Ketsuna was silent; he felt he couldn't understand what Mingxi said with an adult's mindset.
"Then I look forward to your growth, and I hope you can truly achieve it one day."
Ketsuna gave a perfunctory encouragement, then his gaze lingered for a moment on a spot in the woods behind him before he directly used Body Flicker Technique to leave.
"He just left like that?"
Mingxi looked at Ketsuna, who had disappeared from her sight, her voice filled with disbelief.
He just left her, incapacitated, here like this?
Isn't this blatant murder?
How dare he?
You should know this is Death Forest, and there are many fierce beasts and highly venomous insects inside!
One wrong move and you could really die here!
...

Whoosh...
After an unknown amount of time, a figure instantly appeared before Mingxi.
Looking at her pale face and resentful expression, he first shook his head helplessly, then picked her up in his arms and carried her out of Death Forest.
"Uncle Eiichi, did I disgrace the Uchiha?"
On the way, Mingxi, with tear stains on her face, asked Uchiha Eiichi, who was holding her.
"..."
Eiichi was silent, as he also didn't know how to answer Mingxi.
..."I swear on the honor of the Uchiha, I will definitely defeat Hyuga Ketsuna!"
..."Defeat... Hyuga... Ketsuna!"
"Ketsuna..."
Originally, Mingxi was speaking clearly, but then intermittent sounds came, and eventually, there was no sound at all.
When Eiichi noticed this, he was startled.
Mingxi, who had awakened her Two-Tomoe Sharingan, was now the future of the Uchiha Clan!
So Eiichi stopped, landed on the ground, and thoroughly checked Mingxi's condition before letting out a heavy sigh of relief.
It turned out Mingxi had only temporarily passed out.
"Sleep well, the dignity of the Uchiha cannot be provoked.
That Shinji fellow will teach that kid a good lesson."
Eiichi stroked Mingxi's head, speaking with a serious expression, and after he finished, he once again used Body Flicker Technique to continue forward with Mingxi.
Mingxi's Chakra points had been struck by that Hyuga boy, Ketsuna.
If not dealt with quickly, it would still have some impact on her body.
So Eiichi headed straight for the Uchiha Clan's medical station, where dedicated Uchiha medical ninjas were on duty 24 hours a day...

"Come out."
Ketsuna, who had not yet left Death Forest, suddenly stopped and quietly called out behind him.
"It's hard to imagine you're a student who just entered the Ninja Academy.
You know, even regular Chunin find it very difficult to detect my presence."
Uchiha Shinji emerged from his concealment.
He landed in front of Ketsuna, a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan slowly rotating in his eye sockets.
Ketsuna didn't speak, just stared calmly at Uchiha Shinji, seemingly not afraid of him at all.
"Do you think that just because you have two Chunin secretly protecting you, you can escape this time?"
Shinji seemed to know the source of Ketsuna's composure.
His gaze passed over Ketsuna and landed on a dark spot behind him, a sneer appearing on his face.
The two Hyuga Chunin, concealed in the shadows, realized they had been discovered by Shinji when they felt his gaze, so they no longer hid.
Instead, they appeared directly on either side of Ketsuna.
"Lord Ketsuna!"
"Lord Ketsuna!"
As the two Hyuga Chunin appeared, they immediately respectfully called out to Ketsuna, then assumed defensive postures towards Shinji, their Byakugan instantly activated.
After all, facing an Uchiha with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, even if they teamed up, they might not be a match for Shinji.
"Lord Ketsuna, please leave here as soon as possible.
We will handle this!"
Upon hearing the words of the two Hyuga Chunin, Ketsuna merely nodded, then used Body Flicker Technique to head out of Death Forest.
"Trying to run?"
When Shinji saw Ketsuna's action, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan instantly glowed crimson.
The next moment, he directly bypassed the two Hyuga Chunin, intending to chase after Ketsuna, but he was immediately attacked by the two Hyuga Chunin.
"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"
Dazzling palm techniques appeared before Shinji, and the Gentle Fist taijutsu, imbued with Chakra, blocked him.
"Gentle Fist: One Blow Body!"
At the same time, the other Hyuga Chunin, seizing the opportunity of his companion's attack, immediately acted in sync and attacked Shinji.
Although Shinji was an Uchiha Chunin, his actual strength, possessing a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, was already Jonin level.
Therefore, even facing the combined efforts of the two Hyuga Chunin, he remained unhurried.
"Overestimating yourselves!"
A pair of crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan darted left and right in his eye sockets, directly perceiving the attack movements of the two Hyuga Chunin.
Then, he effortlessly dodged their attacks and even counterattacked.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A giant fireball radiating terrifying heat was spewed from Shinji's mouth, heading directly towards the two Hyuga Chunin.
Boom...
As the giant fireball approached, it immediately exploded under Shinji's control.
The intense heat instantly transformed into a scorching gale that spread in all directions, causing dust to billow.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."
Although the two Hyuga members were not Jonin, they couldn't be dealt with by just one of Shinji's Great Fireball Techniques.
They had previously dodged the fireball using Body Flicker Technique and Substitution Jutsu, but they hadn't completely avoided the explosion of the giant fireball.
Not only did they sustain some injuries, but they also awkwardly got a mouthful of dust.
"As expected, it was a bit wishful thinking to try and finish you off with one move."
Shinji appeared with Body Flicker Technique, landing not far in front of the two Hyuga Chunin, speaking in a mocking tone.
Upon hearing this, the two Hyuga Chunin were immediately enraged, but unfortunately, their strength was inferior, so they could only try their best to suppress their emotions.
"Uchiha Shinji, what exactly do you want?"
One of the Hyuga clenched his fist and questioned Shinji.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to spar with the Hyuga noble ninjas from the same village, that's all."
Although Shinji spoke this way, the expression on his face betrayed his true feelings; this was an Uchiha whose words did not match his heart, and the arrogance on his face was particularly annoying!
