Ninja Academy.
It wasn't time for morning classes yet, and the training ground was already bustling with noise. Many tall and short teenagers were gathered there, and in the center, surrounded by the crowd, a chaotic brawl was taking place.
"Fire Style! Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
A boy formed hand seals with both hands and spat towards the few people in front of him, startling them. However, only a tiny flame came out.
After a brief moment of surprise, the boys opposite him burst into laughter.
"Is that even a ninjutsu?!"
"Go! Beat him up!"
"...Damn it, take this!"
About seven or eight teenagers were brawling together, seemingly all lower-grade students. They barely knew any ninjutsu and were simply punching each other. Two slightly older ones, however, fought with some semblance of skill, and one could even see the use of the Clone Jutsu and some other ninjutsu.
The surrounding crowd cheered loudly, and some even reveled in the chaos. The scene was quite disorderly, and because it was so early, no Chunin teachers had come to intervene.
"What are you looking at?"
Shin appeared not far from the training ground. After glancing at the scene, he walked a few steps closer and patted the shoulder of a figure on the outer edge of the crowd.
Kurenai was startled. She turned her head and saw Shin, immediately letting out a sigh of relief.
"Morning, Shin."
"Morning."
Shin smiled gently. "Let's go to the classroom."
He had no interest in watching children fight.
Kurenai glanced at the center of the brawl, then hesitated.
"That..."
"Hmm?"
Shin looked at her.
Kurenai said helplessly,
"Tarou is over there, and he seems to be getting beaten up."
Shin asked curiously,
"Tarou?"
Kurenai pointed to one of the teenagers in the brawl.
"There, that's him. His name is Tarou Yuhi, my uncle's cousin..."
Never heard of him.
Shin shrugged. He wasn't interested in a character he had no impression of, not even a minor one.
"It's normal for boys to fight. You're a girl, so don't interfere. Anyway, the Chunin teachers must be watching, so don't worry."
"But..."
Kurenai was a little helpless and conflicted. Not intervening seemed a bit wrong, but there wasn't much reason to intervene either.
Seeing Kurenai so conflicted, Shin pouted, took a step forward, formed a simple hand seal with both hands, and gently pressed them to the ground.
"Earth Style! Earth Movement Jutsu!"
"...Huh? Huh?!"
Watching Shin's actions, Kurenai was surprised at first, then felt the ground beneath her feet shake. She managed not to fall because she was prepared.
However, the crowd gathered on the training ground suddenly stumbled and swayed, and the few teenagers who were brawling were also separated by the sudden earth movement.
"Shin, you..."
Kurenai steadied herself. Before she could finish speaking, she saw Shin put a finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and whispered with a smile,
"Alright, they should stop fighting now. Let's go."
The many students who were swaying and stumbling didn't know what had happened, thinking it was an earthquake. They seemed a bit chaotic, and the previous brawl was completely interrupted.
But not all students fell into chaos.
A student mixed in the crowd frowned and looked in Shin's direction, clearly realizing that the earth movement just now was a ninjutsu released by Shin.
"How reckless..."
The boy shook his head.
He looked a little younger than Kakashi, wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan symbol. Although he was inconspicuous in the crowd, his name was quite famous.
Shisui Uchiha!
Unlike Obito Uchiha, Shisui was a genius almost on par with Itachi Uchiha. Before awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan, he had already gained great fame on the Mist Village battlefield. After awakening his eyes, he even obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan, which was called the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami!
It wasn't just Shisui and Kurenai who noticed Shin using the Earth Movement Jutsu. Rin, who was also on the training ground and had been paying attention to Shin all along, noticed it too.
"...Shin, you're too reckless."
Rin walked over from not far away and grumbled at Shin.
"But Shin, you're amazing! Earth Movement Jutsu seems to be a C-rank Earth Style ninjutsu, right?"
Not noticing Rin was there, Shin made a quiet gesture to her and smiled.
"I secretly learned it from Kakashi, a small trick."
Shisui Uchiha looked at the scene, pouted, and decided not to say anything. He was about to turn and leave, but before he could take a few steps, he stopped again.
Not far away.
A boy, dressed in the same Uchiha clan attire and wearing goggles, stood in front of Shin, making a fist gesture at him.
"Hey! Shin, let's have a match!"
The one challenging Shin was Obito.
Today, he miraculously didn't encounter any accidents on the way and arrived at school early, not late. When he walked to the training ground, the first thing he saw was Shin and Rin chatting and laughing, and his mood instantly exploded.
Coincidentally, the training ground also seemed to be in a fighting mood, so Obito angrily clenched his fists and came over.
"Boring."
Shin glanced at Obito.
He was truly not interested in Obito before his blackening. Moreover, Obito before his blackening was a kind and sunny boy, and Shin had no intention of bullying children.
"Damn it... Stop right there!!"
However, seeing Shin not respond to the challenge, Obito became even more impatient and jumped in front of Shin.
Whoosh!
Obito attacked clumsily.
Shin sighed, dodged Obito's attack, put a hand on Obito's shoulder, and gently pulled, causing Obito to lose his balance, flip in the air, and fall backward in a disheveled manner.
Seeing this, Rin covered her forehead.
Kurenai was speechless for a moment.
"Is this Obito guy really from the Uchiha clan? The Uchiha name seems a bit undeserved..."
She remembered adults mentioning the Uchiha clan with reverence for a prestigious family, and almost all Uchiha clan members were geniuses, always at the top of their classes. But the discrepancy with Obito was a bit too large.
However, just as Kurenai's voice fell, a voice came from the side.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear that."
Shisui Uchiha had walked closer at some point and spoke calmly to Kurenai.
Obito was from the same Uchiha clan as him, but their relationship was too distant for him to care much. But when the Uchiha clan was mentioned, he couldn't just ignore it.
"You are..."
Kurenai looked at Shisui with a slight start.
"Shisui Uchiha?!"
The name Shisui Uchiha was very famous in the Ninja Academy. All his scores were the highest in his grade, and he had even defeated a Genin not long ago!
Such a level undoubtedly meant he could graduate early. In the eyes of many, Shisui was the only genius in this generation of students whose talent was close to Kakashi's!
