Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 41 (Final Chapter)

Toshiro, who was hiding in a tree, watching the chaotic scene below with great interest, suddenly sensed something and turned to look towards the path.

Through four years of continuous meditation practice, his sensory abilities have been further enhanced. Although he hasn't specifically trained in sensory ninjutsu, he can still vaguely sense any movement within a two or three hundred meters around him.

Through the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, at the end of the grove, on the path leading towards the school, eight or nine figures clad in green Chunin vests were rapidly approaching. Each of them looked extremely tense.

I just received the news that eighty or ninety students were arranging a fight in the woods. I was already very nervous, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

However, upon arriving nearby and taking a brief look, they discovered that the fighting wasn't just eighty or ninety people, but clearly three or four hundred. Furthermore, they could frequently see students displaying ninjutsu techniques, either passed down through families or taught at schools, which terrified them, leaving them sweating profusely.

The teacher always seems to show up at the most crucial moment!

I don't know if some classmates reported it, or if the teacher got wind of it and came over!

But it doesn't matter, we've seen enough of the show!

He formed hand seals and performed a teleportation technique.

Toshiro's true form suddenly appeared beside Uchiha Akane, startling him. Akane nearly punched Toshiro in the face, but thankfully recognized him in time and stopped.

"The ninja academy teachers are on their way soon. If we don't leave soon, everyone will probably have to go back and ask their parents for help!" No matter the world, a teacher asking parents for help is always incredibly damaging. Without wasting any time with Chi Yan, she got straight to the point.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Akane's voice changed. Even though he was about to graduate from the Ninja Academy and become a full-fledged ninja.

But the thought of getting caught by the teacher and then...

Even Sarutobi Shinmura, who was opposite him, was momentarily flustered, unsure whether Toshiro's words were true or false.

Almost simultaneously, the two looked around and spotted a green figure at the end of the path. Forgetting about causing trouble for the other side, they hurriedly gestured to their companion and, supporting their more seriously injured partner, began to retreat.

Their actions were surprisingly synchronized.

[At least these two have some conscience; they even knew to run away with their companions!]

With a few flashes, the figure arrived beside Uchiha Ryuka, Yan, and Hideo.

"Let's go! The teacher's coming! If we stay here any longer, we'll be in big trouble!"

He raised his hand to form a hand seal, dispelling the shadow clone that had been watching over Toshiro beside them. Ignoring the still somewhat bewildered tall, thin man and the ordinary-looking boy beside them, he chose a direction and dashed out of the grove.

He didn't bother to ask whether Toshiki had just dispelled a clone or a shadow clone.

Upon hearing this, the group was greatly alarmed. They hurriedly followed Toshiro and ran out of the woods.

Just then, the teacher's angry roar came from the edge of the woods: "You bunch of 'baka bastards,' stop right now!"

It wasn't until they reached the vicinity of the open area that the teachers from the ninja academy realized the problem was quite serious. Unlike Uchiha Akaragi and Hibiki Shinmura, who were somewhat restrained by their "leaders," the other two groups still maintained a degree of restraint.

However, this group of commoner ninjas and clan members, who were later instigated by Toshiro and became chaotic, were left unchecked, and their actions depended entirely on their own discretion.

Every now and then you can see the shadow of a sword flying by.

The ninja academy teaches a plethora of small-scale, lethal ninjutsu such as water bullets and fire bullets. Students can also frequently be seen using their family's secret techniques! Many students who were merely passing by are caught in the crossfire, thus joining the battle and making the scene even more chaotic.

Seeing how dire the situation was, the teachers all turned deathly pale, fearing that something terrible might happen and that there might be injuries or fatalities.

Then they won't be able to explain themselves.

While ninja training includes death limits, any injuries or deaths resulting from brawls in this grove would be entirely the consequence of his inadequate discipline. At that point, neither the angry parents nor the Hokage would easily let them off the hook.

"Run, everyone! The school teachers are coming!"

As the roar rang out, a gasp of surprise sent the hot-headed, confused group of young ninjas into a state of disarray.

I regained some of my senses.

At first, no one paid attention to the roar, but it wasn't until the shout of "The school teacher is coming!" that everyone started to realize what was going on.

"Run! We absolutely cannot get caught!"

"Change direction! Damn it, they're actually blocking us!"

"Teacher! Teacher! It's not my fault, I'm the victim!"

In an instant, the group of young ninjas scattered! Without any organization or formation, they all ran headlong towards the edge of the grove. This caught the newly arrived teachers off guard.

It seems that, regardless of the world, students caught doing something wrong by their teachers behave remarkably similarly!

Having already escaped the encirclement with his friends, Toshiro looked back. He saw the group of onlookers who had just been watching the spectacle, now looking like defeated dogs. His eyes narrowed and a slight smile played on his lips.

[You guys actually thought I'd put on a monkey show for you? Now you know how powerful I am!]

[Tsk! One person went back to school. Was they going to call for medical personnel? Or to get help?]

Well! None of this concerns me anymore. Time to go home for dinner. Today is another happy and joyful day!

Just as Toshiro had expected, the school teachers hadn't anticipated the situation would escalate so severely. They were acutely aware of the shortage of manpower, especially with several students suffering from more serious injuries. Reluctantly, they had to send one teacher back to the school to fetch help, and also to bring over a medical ninja to treat the students' wounds.

This unprecedented brawl among ninja academy students was ultimately dubbed the "Battle of the Woods." Among those who distinguished themselves were Uchiha Akane, Sarutobi Shinmura, and Uchiha Toshiro, who became household names among the ninja academy students and garnered a large following of admirers.

Of course, there's also Shimura Tsubame, who was knocked out in just a few moves and became a laughingstock. Many students who had previously suffered greatly at his hands added insult to injury. If he weren't about to graduate, he probably wouldn't have been able to stay at the Ninja Academy.

Afterwards, the school teachers did a count, and the number of people involved in the fight was about three hundred but less than four hundred.

Nearly forty people were injured.

Fortunately, everyone only suffered minor injuries, which can be treated with a few bandages and a few days of rest.
