Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 31 Class

"Next, Uchida..."

In the subsequent physical skills test, the students' performance was commendable. However, with Toshiro's outstanding performance preceding them, both Ikeda Yuta and Aoyama Ryosuke felt somewhat disappointed.

Even those family members are far inferior to Toshiro in terms of strength, speed, skill, and the connection of moves.

[Damn it! Those Uchiha guys are really annoying...] Some of the more attention-seeking boys in the class thought to themselves, giving Uchiha Toshiro a malicious look. Some other clan members also glared at him with resentment.

[This guy's performance is so outstanding, his family will definitely give them extra training once they find out! It's a good thing he's an Uchiha; if he were an ordinary civilian, the consequences would be unimaginable.]

Being a ninja is a highly competitive profession, whether it's at a ninja academy or within a clan. For these newly enrolled kids, the competition and rivalry among them is something to be happy about.

For a ninja clan, losing to the Uchiha was barely acceptable; they could simply add more training. But if they lost to a child born into an ordinary family, it wouldn't be something that could be easily dealt with through ordinary extra training. They would have to be taught a profound lesson and subjected to hellish training.

[Toshiro is so handsome! He usually sits there quietly, looking like he's indifferent to everything. But when he gets serious, he's really energetic! I just feel too shy to bother him!]

Some little girls, their faces full of infatuation, thought about it with longing.

If it weren't for the fact that he had spent the past month quietly sitting in his seat reading, giving off a subtle sense of distance that made many girls hesitant to disturb his peaceful enjoyment, his ninja academy life would undoubtedly have been much more colorful.

When the last name was called, the student who had sparred with Mr. Ikeda had also formed a seal of reconciliation. Mr. Aoyama, holding the records he had kept, walked to the center of the field and addressed the students:

"Alright, that concludes today's basic ninja taijutsu test. Everyone did very well, especially Uchiha Toshiro. Tomorrow afternoon we'll have tests on hand seals and retrieving thrown objects from hand. Keep up the good work!"

For Toshiro, the hand seal test was basically a piece of cake. He hadn't given up practicing his hand seal speed for the past two years.

He even made a stack of slips of paper, ranging from four to twelve, each with a different stamp pattern. Each time, he would shuffle their order and start practicing the different stamp patterns one by one.

They can now perform nearly three hand seals per second, which is about the same level as a typical Chunin.

As for shuriken throwing, that was a piece of cake for him. Although he had given up on continuously improving his shuriken throwing skills, it didn't mean he had abandoned the skill. He still maintained his training two or three times a week, just not for as long or as frequently as before.

Inside a classroom at the Ninja Academy, in the back row, by the window, Uchiha Toshiro sat with his arms crossed, his head resting on his arms, looking listless.

Having just spent nearly an afternoon practicing chakra nature transformation at home alone, he dispelled his shadow clone technique. With a slight weariness, he transferred a large amount of related training memories into his brain, making them part of his overall memory.

"Uchiha Toshiro, explain the purpose of this marking on the blackboard!"

"This hand seal is the Tiger Seal among the Twelve Seals, and it's the finishing hand seal of a standard Fire Release technique. It helps the ninja to change the nature of their chakra!" Toshiro calmly answered his teacher's question as he stood up.

"Sit down. You may have already mastered this knowledge, but you still need to listen carefully in class and not let your mind wander."

After spending a month together, he had a general understanding of the students' abilities in his class. Asking Toshiro questions was simply an expression of his dissatisfaction with Toshiro sleeping in his class.

"Ring ring ring"

As the school bell rang.

Inside the classroom, most of the students perked up and instantly felt full of energy.

[A bunch of academic failures, no wonder not a single one looks familiar. Neither the beginning of the story nor later in Shippuden are any of their classmates. They probably all met their demise in the Third Shinobi World War; their future looks bleak!]

This is also why Uchiha Toshiro didn't place too much emphasis on socializing with his classmates. If he formed too deep a bond with them, hearing news of their deaths would inevitably add to his sadness.

Although this is not a bad thing for the Uchiha.

Stepping out of the Ninja Academy gates, Toshiro slowly walked towards home. As the distance increased and the crowd dispersed and converged, a large group of Uchiha boys and girls gathered around him.

A huge, swarming group, from every grade of the Ninja Academy. The Uchiha class had anywhere from seven or eight to more than ten students.

There are nearly 50 students across the six grades.

"How's it going, Toshiro? Did you show those guys over there how powerful the Uchiha are?" The man patted Toshiro's shoulder heavily. As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes towards another direction on the road.

On the other side of the road, an even larger group of ninja academy students walked along. They were gathered in groups of ten or twenty, or in groups of seven or eight.

Those were the core members of the Hokage lineage, led by the Sarutobi and Shimura families, and including the Ino, Shika, Cho, Utatane, and Mitomon families.

This is the clan settlement area of ​​Konoha. Since the founding of Konoha Village, almost all the major ninja clans have gathered in this large area. In the distance, members of the Hyuga, Aburame, Inuzuka, and other clans can be seen walking along the road. However, their numbers are vastly different from those of the Uchiha clan, except for the Hyuga clan, whose numbers are not too disparate.

It is often said that a school is a miniature society, and Uchiha Toshiro wholeheartedly agrees. Even in the ninja academy of another world, where students are only six to twelve years old, no one is immune to this.

Represented by Sarutobi, the Hokage, he gathered his allies Ino, Shika, Cho, Shimura, Utatane, and others.

The Naruto faction is composed of a large group of core family members who are loyal to the Naruto.

Led by Hyuga, the clan ninjas were formed by gathering members from various large and small clans, including Aburame, Inuzuka, and Yuhi.

Commoner ninjas are composed of ordinary civilians or descendants of commoner ninjas.

Then there's the Uchiha clan, whom nobody else can associate with.

This is the social circle of the Ninja Academy, which fully reflects the divisions between the various classes in Konoha Village.

"This level of test is a piece of cake; you'll pass it easily!"

The person who spoke to Toshiro was Uchiha Yukito, who had hunted with him last time.
