Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

Chapter 8 A False Peace

Uchiha Kyomoto wanted to say something more, but ultimately swallowed it back.

There was no other way; as he said, the weak submit to the strong, and Uchiha Chiri was a genius of the clan.

He awakened his Sharingan at the age of five and was highly regarded by his family!

On the other hand, he, who was six years old and had not yet opened his eyes, was undoubtedly of a lower status.

"Let's end this farce today. On behalf of Kyo, I apologize to everyone! I hope you won't take this to heart. The Uchiha clan is definitely not what you all think!"

Uchiha Chiri's words calmed the farce and restored some dignity to the commoner children.

My impression of the Uchiha clan has improved slightly, but some people still don't buy into it.

They also completely believed their parents' warning to stay away from the Uchiha clan.

Maruhoshi Kosuke was then released by his two friends and walked up to Yunzhong Qufeng to express his gratitude.

He then gave Uchiha Chiri a disapproving look before returning to his seat.

In his view, it was Yunzhong Qufeng who first spoke up and put the Uchiha clan on a pedestal.

Uchiha Chiri had no choice but to speak up to stop them for the sake of his clan's reputation; he now had absolutely no goodwill towards the Uchiha clan!

Uchiha Chiri smiled wryly and said, "It seems like Kosuke-kun dislikes me a bit."

Yun Zhongqufeng curled his lip: "There's nothing we can do. After all, Uchiha Kyo's actions have angered the public, so it's understandable that he's prejudiced."

Uchiha Osamu understood this principle as well.

She came to the ninja academy hoping to change the villagers' prejudice against the Uchiha clan.

But now it seems that everything has been ruined by Uchiha Kyo.

As a genius of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Chiri was not arrogant and never looked down on people.

She always felt that the ninjas in her clan shouldn't be so aloof.

It is clear that she, like Uchiha Kagami, belongs to a relatively peaceful faction within the Uchiha clan.

It was under the influence of the mirror that Uchiha Chiri chose to come to the Ninja Academy.

Otherwise, a genius like her should be receiving training within the clan.

"Changing the family and people's perception of the family is really a difficult thing."

Yun Zhongqufeng smiled and said, "It's not difficult."

"Why?"

"As long as you are powerful, won't the people in your clan all listen to you?"

"The seemingly peaceful ninja world we see now is merely a peace maintained by the major powers due to the Hokage's strength."

Uchiha Chiri didn't expect Torifu-kun to say that.

But upon closer reflection, it's clear that to gain the approval of the elders within the clan for his and his brother's beliefs, it's impossible to bypass the issue of strength.

After all, without strength, everything is just empty talk.

"Then wouldn't that be the same as Kyo? Both of them use strength to oppress others," Zhili said deliberately.

"Of course it's different. He simply enjoys the pleasure of suppressing and insulting others to satisfy his own selfish desires."

"And you are here to stop the clan and villagers from being hostile to each other, so that the Uchiha can truly integrate into the village."

Chiri laughed: "Torifu-kun is quite an interesting person. You don't seem to dislike the Uchiha."

Hearing what Zhili said, Torifu also gave a gentle smile.

"We are all members of the village, and the Uchiha are also Uchiha of Konoha. There's nothing to hate about them."

When Zhili first met Yun Zhongqufeng, although he couldn't quite explain it, he felt that Yun Zhongqufeng was different from the other students.

When Maruboshi Kosuke was being ridiculed, he spoke up for him despite having only known him for less than half a day.

They had no prejudice against the Uchiha clan, which everyone feared or hated.

'As expected, Touka-kun is a special person.'

After a while, Sarutobi Sui also returned.

It's hard to believe he knew nothing about what happened in the classroom; it's like trying to catch wind from the clouds.

But he didn't mention this matter at all and went straight to the next lesson.

"Alright, students, the rest of the day will be dedicated to yourselves trying to refine chakra, based on what we learned in the last lesson."

Sarutobi Suiya's words immediately made the students take it seriously.

They all felt deeply powerless at Uchiha Kyo's mockery after class.

The chakra refining process is finally about to begin, and everyone is full of enthusiasm.

They were all five or six years old, and they believed that their talents were no less than anyone else's. They quickly refined the knowledge from the previous lesson.

Without extracting the chakra, the rest of the lessons cannot be attended.

However, for those who have already refined chakra, it's incredibly boring.

I couldn't speak, for fear of disturbing the other students. I couldn't skip class on the first day either; I could only sit in the classroom.

After nearly three hours, someone finally extracted chakra.

"Zhen Hong, you did a great job! You were able to extract chakra in just three hours. That's excellent!"

Yunzhongqufeng was not surprised by this result.

Subsequently, Kosuke Maruboshi and Ikkaku Umino also extracted chakra.

This speed is something that even some scions of powerful clans might not be able to achieve.

Sarutobi Mizuya nodded to himself: 'It seems there are quite a few geniuses this year. I should report this to the Hokage, along with what just happened.'

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Kyo may not have been able to awaken his Sharingan, but he successfully extracted chakra long ago.

Seeing that these commoners he looked down on could extract chakra faster than him on their first try, he felt an immense resentment in his heart!

What he hated even more was that Uchiha Chiri, a genius of the clan, did not speak up for him, but instead sided with the commoners!

'That white-haired guy! I'll teach him a lesson in the practical class!'

At that moment, he suddenly saw that Yunzhong Qufeng also seemed to be seriously refining chakra.

He muttered disdainfully, "Tch! I thought you were something special, but you're just an ordinary person."

He then felt more confident about next week's exam, after all, he had even learned ninjutsu, and his strength was definitely stronger than that white-haired guy!

If Yunzhong Qufeng heard what Uchiha Kyo said, he would definitely roll his eyes at him.

Actually, it was just because he didn't want to waste time sitting idly, so he used this time to cultivate Cloud Escape.

If he could successfully cultivate the Bloodline Elimination Technique, then his dream of a peaceful life would be assured.

Seeing that Toru was diligently cultivating beside him, Zhili also began to cultivate.

As if it were an infectious disease, the students in the classroom who had extracted chakra all began to train.

Of course, except for Uchiha Kyo.

The first day of school life ended, and half of the commoner children failed to refine their chakra.

This shows that their talent is not good, and their highest achievement in the future will be only at the level of Chunin.

Inside the classroom, some were happy while others were disappointed; Yunzhongqufeng belonged to the former group.

Although he failed at the last minute in today's cultivation, he had vaguely found the problem!

With a few more tries, perhaps we can develop the Cloud Escape technique.

After school, Maruboshi Kosuke and the others greeted Torifu and asked if they wanted to go home together.

Yun Zhongqufeng agreed, and after saying goodbye to Zhili, the four of them left the school together.

Unfortunately, the four of them didn't seem to be going the same way, as the Cloud Clan's territory was located in the exact opposite direction from the homes of the other three.

So Yunzhongqufeng had to go home by himself.

Chapter 9 is approaching, Madara Uchiha's rebellion!

At night, the Uchiha tribe.

"Zhiri, how was school today? Did you make any friends?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Kagami's words, Chiri thought of Tokifumi in the Clouds. She felt that she and Tokifumi should be considered friends.

"Yes, his name is Yun Zhong Qu Feng. He is the head of the Yun Zhong clan. Have you ever heard of the Yun Zhong clan, brother?"

Uchiha Kagami thought about it carefully, and he did seem to have seen the Cloud Clan in a book at home, but there was not much information about them.

The most detailed descriptions focus on their clan, which, despite its small size, is incredibly powerful.

His cloud-escaping technique was incredibly powerful; with a mere wave of his hand, he could turn people into clouds and disperse them.

"I've heard of them, but I don't know much about them. They're just a very powerful family."

Zhili was curious after hearing this, because according to what Qufeng had said, their family had always been a single line of succession.

There are probably only four or five people in the family at most, right? How can a family like that be considered strong?

But since my brother said so, it must be true.

Chiri recounted everything that had happened at school that day to Uchiha Kagami, eager to know her brother's opinion on the matter.

"You did a good job on this."

“Kyo’s ideas have been instilled in him by his grandfather since he was a child, and this cannot be changed overnight.”

Upon hearing this, Zhili nodded. She had a general understanding of the family's affairs.

The old men, led by Uchiha Kyo's grandfather, were all followers of Uchiha Madara.

He spent all his time inciting his clansmen to leave Konoha and follow Uchiha Madara.
