Chapter 5 : Shocked Itachi!!
"Line up in order. I want to see your recent training results. Genya, you'll go last!" Uchiha Zentaro glanced at everyone and signaled them to line up for the test.
Because of Uchiha Kinya, he also reassured Genya, saying, "Don't worry, this is your first time throwing shuriken, so don't stress!"
It was clear from Genya's earlier conversation with the others that he had never thrown a shuriken before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said he was still learning the technique.
Now, it was time for everyone to throw shuriken.
Each person had five shuriken, and they had to throw them at five wooden targets in front of them. The closer they hit to the bull's eye, the more accurate their technique!
The first to throw was a young boy, about five or six years old, who seemed to have just started at the ninja academy. Out of his five throws, only two hit the targets, and one was near the bull's eye. This was normal for a child of his age.
Then, one by one, everyone took their turn. The best among them was Izumi, who hit the bull's eye with all five shuriken. Even the three-year-old Sasuke managed to hit two bull's eyes, with the other three shuriken landing on the targets.
"Itachi, it's your turn now!"
Everyone turned their attention to Itachi. He was known as a genius in the Uchiha clan, and they were all eager to see what he could do. Genya, too, became focused, wanting to see the talent of this so-called prodigy.
Under everyone's gaze, Itachi confidently walked ten meters away from the targets. With a flick of his sleeve, five shuriken appeared in his hand.
Genya noticed that Itachi held all five shuriken firmly in his palm.
