Good heavens, another big shot!
Torifū thought she was just an ordinary Uchiha girl, but he didn't expect her to be Uchiha Naori!
Then she should have opened her Sharingan, right? After all, she is the founder of the forbidden technique Izanami! If Itachi Uchiha hadn't used Izanami, many more people would have died in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
'I wonder how many tomoe she has?'
Naori seemed to see that Torifū was a little surprised, so she asked, "What's wrong, Torifū? You seem a little surprised?"
Torifū waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, nothing at all. I just suddenly thought of something else."
Naori smiled lightly: "I see. It looks like your attention span isn't very good."
Being teased by a little girl, Torifū was also a little embarrassed. After chatting for a few words, the two started to do their own things. After all, they just met on the first day and were not very familiar with each other.
After a while, Kosuke came over with two boys. Torifū was startled at first glance. He saw that the eyes of a boy behind Kosuke were actually bright red.
He thought they were from the Uchiha clan, but after taking a closer look, he probably guessed who they were.
"Torifū, I'm back. These two are my friends."
Torifū stood up and said to the two of them: "Hello, my name is Torifū."
After hearing Kosuke say that he was going to take them to meet the head of the Kumotsuru clan, they thought he would be an arrogant person, but they didn't expect him to be so humble.
Of course, they were also intimidated by Torifū's reputation, thinking he was the young head of a big family.
In reality, he was just an orphan with a bit of inheritance—The ninjutsu scrolls in his family can only circle Konoha once when they are all spread out.
"Hello, I'm Umino Ikkaku. Please take care of me."
Another red-eyed boy also said: "I'm Yuhi Shinku. Nice to meet you."
Sure enough! In Konoha Village, except for the Uchiha clan, only Yuhi clan's eyes are red. The genjutsu masters of Konoha!
It is said that Yuhi Shinku's illusion can't even be repelled by the Mangekyou Sharingan, but this point remains to be verified. But that Kurenai girl seemed to believe it until she tried to pull a fast one on Itachi.
And Torifū is also familiar with the name Umino Ikkaku, Umino Iruka's father!
Both of these were they guys who sacrificed themselves in the Nine-Tails Rebellion to protect his descendants.
'Good heavens, they are all famous people.'
But hold on. Why did this group feel like a bunch of extra characters? What kind of second-stringer training class was this?!
After getting to know each other, they chatted for a while, and it was time to start class. A young man walked in from outside the door. The students sat down obediently when they saw the teacher coming in, and the teacher nodded with satisfaction:
"First of all, I want to congratulate everyone. Being able to sit here shows that you all have ninja qualifications. If nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely become a ninja in the future."
Then he began to introduce himself: "My name is Sarutobi Suiga. I will be your teacher in the future until you graduate."
"I'm twenty-five years old this year. It's also my first time being a teacher. My strength is at an average level in the village. My hobby is sports, and my dream is to teach students so that they can stand on their own."
"Now, let's have everyone introduce themselves."
At first, the students were a bit shy, but as they warmed up, they began openly sharing their hobbies and dreams. Some were realistic, others were a bit far-fetched—but it didn't matter, childhood dreams were meant to be pure.
Torifū also listened carefully to everyone's dreams. Kosuke wants to become a powerful ninja in the future, Shinku wants to become an genjutsu master, and Ikkaku wants to become a teacher.
Then, a boy stood up and sneered, "I'm Uchiha Kyo. I hate weaklings like you lot. As an Uchiha, my dreams are beyond your comprehension. That's all."
After speaking, he went back to his seat on his own, with a disdainful expression on his face, as if he was looking at a group of insects.
This sentence directly offended all the students in the class, and many people glared at him.
But Uchiha Kyo didn't seem to care and didn't even look at them.
"Damn it, what a jerk! I'll definitely beat him up so hard, even his mother won't recognize him!"
"My mom was right—Uchiha are just a bunch of arrogant snobs!"
"Damn it! We're all students. Do you think you're so special just because you are surnamed Uchiha?"
The murmuring spread through the room, and many people moved away from him.
Uchiha Kyo snorted coldly. This was exactly what he wanted. These civilians should fear the prestige of the Uchiha clan!
Naori, who was sitting next to Torifū, frowned slightly. Obviously, she was a little dissatisfied with Uchiha Kyo's remarks.
Soon, it was Naori's turn to introduce herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Uchiha Naori. My hobby is eating sweet food. I don't have anything I hate. My dream is that villagers and clansmen can live peacefully without strife."
She spoke with grace and warmth, radiating the demeanor of a well-raised noblewoman. Her gentle smile made everyone feel at ease.
At first, everyone was not happy to hear the name Uchiha Naori, but after hearing Naori's self-introduction, they realized that this girl was not the same kind of person as Uchiha Kyo, and their eyes on Naori became kinder.
Torifū was also a little surprised. The only surprising thing was that Naori's dream was somewhat similar to his own.
"Hello everyone, I'm Kumotsuru Torifū. My hobby is living peacefully and counting money peacefully. I hate plans. My dream is to live peacefully forever."
After Torifū's self-introduction was over, everyone in the class was a little stunned? Hobby is counting money peacefully? Dream is to live peacefully forever? What kind of nonsense introduction was that?! Could he at least try to be serious?
Seated next to him, Naori couldn't hold back a small laugh, though she quickly stifled it to maintain her composure.
And it was Torifū's self-introduction that gave him a nickname in the class, Peace Bro.
Well, very appropriate.
"Haha, alright, alright," Suiga said with a chuckle. "I've heard all your dreams. I hope you'll all be able to achieve them. Now, let's begin our lesson."
He proceeded to explain the school rules before starting the first lesson: an introduction to chakra and how to refine it.
This class was mainly for civilians. Any clan with the slightest foundation would have already taught their children the basics of chakra before enrolling them in the academy.
Since most civilian parents weren't shinobi, they had to rely on the academy for this knowledge.
The civilian students listened intently, while those from ninja families were mostly zoning out. Torifū, however, paid close attention.
Naori leaned in slightly and whispered, "Torifū, you're listening so seriously. Haven't you learned about chakra before?"
[T/N: If it's feasible, consider supporting me on at: p@treon . com / claychampion, i recently started it]
[T/N: I changed the MC name from Kazuto to Torifū, because later around chapter 18 it mentions that his name is same as the Akimichi guy. Keeping this, might be relevant down the lane, don't know. Don't want to change it later or smth. So doing some early damage control.]
