Naruto Shadow Mage

Nara Koshino is four years old!

Uchiha Itachi is also four years old!

In Koshino's original world, what can a four-year-old do?

Even in Naruto, logically speaking, many would not want to watch a battle between four-year-olds.

But because Nara Koshino and Uchiha Itachi are both new-generation elites of the Nara and Uchiha clans, respectively, those watching the battle are focused and afraid to miss any exciting moments.

Even before the battle between Koshino and Uchiha Itachi started, some young boys and girls gathered at Hizashi's mansion.

These people are all new-generation elites from various clans.

They are truly concerned about the gap between themselves and real geniuses!

"I think Uchiha Itachi will win. After all, the Uchiha clan is prestigious. What is the Nara clan anyway?"

"Hmph, what is the Uchiha clan? You must not have seen how many Uchiha clan members Koshino has defeated, so you are saying this!"

"Exactly! Koshino could win against four people, so what's one Uchiha Itachi?"

"But I heard that Uchiha Itachi mastered Fire Style ninjutsu early on and is known as the top genius in the Uchiha clan. Even if Koshino is strong, he might not be able to win easily, right?"

Before Koshino and Uchiha Itachi started their fight, the younger generation from various clans secretly commented on their confrontation.

One indisputable point is that many people already support Koshino, mainly because he had previously defeated four new-generation elites of the Uchiha clan, proving himself even before Itachi!

However, what shocked Koshino was that despite the noisy environment, Uchiha Itachi remained completely undisturbed by the noise, his eyes still so indifferent!

Or rather, calm!

Moreover, just as Koshino made a "please" gesture towards Uchiha Itachi, Itachi reached for his ninja tool pouch, and several shadows swiftly attacked Koshino!

"It's starting!"

Staring at the swiftly approaching shadows, how could Koshino not recognize the Uchiha clan's outstanding shuriken throwing technique?

In the original storyline, the Uchiha clan's trademarks and the Sharingan include shuriken throwing techniques and powerful Fire-Style ninjutsu!

Both shuriken throwing techniques and Fire-style ninjutsu are very common in the ninja world.

However, the fact that the Uchiha clan can use these common techniques proves its talent in these areas!

Uchiha Itachi is a rare genius in the Uchiha clan, and his talent in these areas is naturally very impressive!

So, when the shuriken thrown by Itachi turned into shadows, drawing beautiful arcs in the air and completely sealing off Koshino's escape routes, Koshino realized that Itachi's fame was well-deserved!

"Uchiha Itachi, truly impressive."

"But if you think you can beat me with shuriken, you're dreaming!"

Glancing at Itachi, Koshino smiled slightly and reached for his ninja tool pouch, taking out a few shuriken.

Perhaps Koshino's shuriken skills are not as good as Itachi's. Not to mention throwing shuriken in arcs; even hitting the target with a straight throw might be a problem for Koshino. So, regarding shuriken skills, Itachi is far ahead of Koshino!

But on defense, Koshino's shuriken just needs to be accurate enough.

Next, the sound of clashing shuriken kept ringing.

In an instant, Koshino used his shuriken to neutralize the immediate threat. Unexpectedly, Itachi didn't give Koshino any time to catch his breath, immediately throwing more shuriken changing the flight paths by colliding with the previous ones!

"Uchiha Itachi, truly worthy of being a genius of the Uchiha clan!"

"Shuriken techniques alone are enough to deal with ordinary Genin. Koshino is in danger!"

"Koshino doesn't even have time to use secret techniques; it looks like Uchiha Itachi is about to win!"

Seeing that Koshino didn't even have time to form seals, many Jonin thought Koshino had no chance of winning.

Unfortunately!

These people underestimated Koshino's abilities, including Itachi!

Is there no time to form seals?

No!

There is time to form seals, but only a few seconds!

However, Koshino is just a four-year-old child. Who could imagine that he could complete the Nara clan's secret technique in such a short time?

While watching the battle between Koshino and Itachi, only one person firmly believed that Koshino could quickly complete the Nara clan's secret technique!

That person is naturally Koshino's uncle, the head of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku!

"Hmph, you all underestimate Koshino!"

"Koshino, now is your chance!"

With a glint in his eyes, Shikaku smiled at Koshino, who started forming seals!

Moreover, just as Koshino formed seals, Itachi's shuriken hit Koshino's body, making a "puff" sound!

"Substitution Jutsu?"

It turns out that when the shuriken hit Koshino, he used the Substitution Jutsu to escape the crisis.

And just as Koshino escaped the crisis, Itachi saw a shadow extending from the ground—Koshino's Shadow Imitation Technique!

In the distance, crouching on the ground, smiling, Koshino formed the Nara clan's secret hand seals.

A single Shadow Imitation Technique is certainly not enough to defeat Itachi.

However, when Koshino used the Shadow Imitation Technique, he predicted Itachi's evasion method. As Itachi backflipped to escape the limited range of the Shadow Imitation Technique, Koshino's confident voice echoed in Itachi's ears!

"Take two steps back, Uchiha Itachi, and you'll enter my Shadow Stitching Technique range!"

"What?"

Surprised by Koshino's words, a look of panic flashed in Itachi's eyes.

Because Koshino was right, as the Shadow Imitation Technique approached from the front, Koshino's Shadow Stitching Technique bypassed the kunai, extending a shadow from behind Itachi, blocking his escape route!

What terrifying calculation?

What terrifying strategy?

Itachi never imagined that while he was planning Koshino's next move, Koshino had already made his plan earlier!

Koshino's plan was flawless; as Itachi stepped back, he realized another step would put him within the range of the Shadow Stitching Technique.

In a panic, Itachi supported himself with his hands and prepared to leap into the air.

But how could Itachi have imagined that Koshino precisely mentioned the Shadow Stitching Technique to make him jump?

The next second!

Taking advantage of the opening Itachi exposed while leaping, Koshino changed his hand seals, a victorious smile forming on his lips, and said calmly:

"Uchiha Itachi, you've lost!"

"Shadow Stitching Technique!"

"Kill!"
