I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 12 Konoha Year 59, Yagyu Attracts Attention

It was five days later when Uchiha Sasuke returned to school.

Just as Yagyu had expected, Sasuke Uchiha reappeared, exuding a cold aura.

A demonic obstacle has begun to form.

However, Sasuke Uchiha's support group was obviously unaware of this.

They actually think that Sasuke Uchiha is more handsome now.

The female students in Class One all felt that they were so lucky.

Not only is there the gentle and warm-hearted Yagyu, but also the aloof and cold Uchiha Sasuke. I really don't know which one to pursue.

Looking at Uchiha Sasuke, whose aura was somewhat intimidating and whose classmates were trembling and hiding to the side, Yagyu was deep in thought.

Although it cannot be activated automatically yet, Sasuke Uchiha has already awakened the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

So, does that mean the chances of unlocking the Sharingan and Indra's chakra have also increased?

Just as Yagyu was thinking this, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to sense his gaze and suddenly turned to look at Yagyu.

"What terrifying eyes!"

"What happened to Sasuke?"

Ino and Sakura were both startled by Sasuke Uchiha's gaze.

Yagyu met his gaze without flinching.

After staring at Yagyu for a few seconds, Uchiha Sasuke finally turned back.

Yagyu knew that he had become Sasuke Uchiha's target.

As an orphan, Sasuke Uchiha will place immense importance on the honor of the Uchiha clan.

He would not allow anyone to slander or look down on the Uchiha clan.

It is even more unacceptable that he, who bears the honor of the Uchiha clan, be suppressed by Yagyu.

Next, he will definitely work hard to cultivate and study, and do his best to compete for the title of top student.

This was exactly what Yagyu wanted.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't easily approach Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, Yagyu would have been fighting them every day.

The reincarnations of these two immortal sons are the greatest treasure of this era.

If he can empty these two treasures, Yagyu's limit will be the Six Paths.

------

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it was March of Konoha Year 59.

Before we knew it, nearly four years had passed since the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

The news of the demise of Konoha and even the top three clans in the ninja world shocked the ninja world at the time.

Of course, since he couldn't leave the village, Yagyu was unaware of the extent of the sensation.

However, the departure of the Uchiha clan caused Konoha's already weakened state to plummet once again.

Surprisingly, the opposing forces did not take the opportunity to attack Konoha, but instead maintained the existing balance.

this is a good news.

Otherwise, if war broke out, the Yagyu generation would definitely have been sent to the battlefield ahead of time.

If Yagyu hadn't awakened the game system, then whether or not a war broke out wouldn't matter, since at their age, they certainly wouldn't be assigned to the front lines.

Knowing his own potential and what kind of powerful figure he would become once realized, Yagyu did not want war to break out, at least not now.

They lack the strength to go to the front lines, and they also have to worry about whether the enemy will suddenly send out powerful individuals to secretly wipe out Konoha's new generation.

Before he could even develop, he was killed by some powerful figure who might have been a minor character in the Fourth Shinobi World War. This is even more painful than having mastered a divine skill, shouting "Invincible!" only to be impaled by a shoe that falls from the sky.

The fact that the five great ninja villages chose to maintain the existing balance was the best news for Yagyu.

Just as Yagyu had thought, for the past four years, Uchiha Sasuke had been constantly competing with him, trying to snatch the title of top student from his hands.

In the taijutsu duels of the preliminary tests and impromptu tests, Sasuke Uchiha even took the initiative to ask Iruka to let him be his opponent.

During this time, there was an incident where Naruto provoked Sasuke, who then easily defeated him.

Iruka felt a headache coming on as he watched Uchiha Sasuke, who seemed determined to beat up the other classmates if he wasn't arranged to fight Yagyu.

However, he did not agree and instead asked for Yagyu's opinion.

Yagyu readily agreed; he had been worried about how to match him with Uchiha Sasuke.

Therefore, for the past four years, apart from the major exams, Yagyu's opponents in all other physical combat duels, and even in the kunai melee combat that began in his third year, were Uchiha Sasuke.

As for Uchiha Sasuke's challenges over the past few years, he has naturally been defeated in every single one.

Uchiha Sasuke may have worked hard, but he could never have worked as hard as Yagyu.

Yagyu, who mastered the Shadow Clone Technique in his first year, was not training alone; he was constantly growing and already possessed the strength to graduate early.

If it weren't for the hope of finding something good in these six years, Yagyu would have sent his shadow clones to teach him long ago, just like Itachi Uchiha.

Sasuke Uchiha, who was unable to awaken his Sharingan, was no match for Yagyu in terms of the fundamentals of ninja.

The top student of each year is naturally in Yagyu's grasp.

Having consistently ranked first among the top students and surpassing the heirs of all the major ninja clans of this generation, Yagyu's fame not only spread throughout the ninja academy but also caught the attention of certain important figures.

In particular, Yamanaka Inoichi and Hyuga Hiashi are very concerned about the guy who kidnapped their daughter.

To this end, they even secretly watched Yagyu and the others train.

Seeing that Yagyu was teaching Hinata and the others skills that only genin could master, and that they had all mastered them, Yamanaka Inoichi and Hyuga Hiashi were both impressed by Yagyu and stopped stopping their daughters from playing with him.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi paid attention to Yagyu.

With the Fourth Hokage as an example, Hiruzen Sarutobi placed great importance on ordinary geniuses.

Bloodline limit is not important; talent is.

Of the four Hokage, only the First Hokage possessed a bloodline limit.

The fact that Yagyu was able to surpass the heirs of various ninja clans and consistently hold the top student position demonstrates his exceptional talent and potential.

With investment and guidance, they might become the backbone of the village in the future.

As for Yagyu, he was of course unaware that his "low-key" demeanor had attracted the attention of many important figures.

If Yagyu knew he had attracted the Hokage's attention, he would definitely breathe a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid of Hiruzen Sarutobi paying attention to him; he was afraid of Danzo Shimura paying attention to him.

Fortunately, both of his parents were Chunin of Konoha and were from the Hokage lineage.

As a member of the "pure and upright" Hokage lineage, even if Danzo Shimura was domineering, he couldn't just send people to kidnap and brainwash Yagyu without saying a word.

Such a small village, yet so much scheming.

There's no way around it, the saying "wealth doesn't last three generations" couldn't be more fitting for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

How powerful was Konoha in the past?

The number of Kage-level powerhouses is too many to count on one hand.

But these masters were either outmaneuvered by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, or forced to leave their homes.

Now that I'm all alone, I realize I'm panicking.
