Chapter 306: Ch.306 Lost and Driven
"Stop it—shut up!"
Sasuke roared, True Shinji's piercing questions striking at his very soul.
If it had been anyone else saying these things, he'd be angry but not ashamed. But because it was Shinji, the shame was unbearable.
He was the one who'd awakened the Sharingan!
Yet whether it was losing to Naruto before or getting crushed by Yakumo later, he'd been humiliated time and again, dragging the Uchiha name through the mud.
Watching Sasuke's mix of shame and rage, Shinji slowly stood up.
In truth, Sasuke didn't need to feel so ashamed for losing to Naruto and Yakumo.
Yakumo's rise, though orchestrated by Shinji, had spiraled into something filled with chance and unpredictability.
The Yakumo of now had long surpassed the academy level.
Once she mastered the Koryugan, honed her control over "Wood Release," and patched up her basics, she'd be a solid elite jonin.
Given a bit more time, reaching kage-level wouldn't be far-fetched.
