Escape from Konoha.

"By the way, when did you awaken your Sharingan?"

Shiraishi asked with interest.

"The day the tribesmen returned from the battlefield, they felt a little uneasy, and suddenly they opened up."

Ruri spoke expressionlessly, as if awakening the Sharingan was something trivial, without any more complicated process.

"Really? I've heard that the Sharingan requires very strong emotions to activate, and it seems that this saying isn't unfounded."

He must have thought of many of his close clansmen who did not return alive from the battlefield, and even those who did return were crippled ninjas. This caused his emotions to surge so violently that he unexpectedly awakened the Sharingan.

Ruri did not deny it, and put away her Sharingan, restoring her normal black eyes.

Continuously activating her Sharingan in battle would be a burden for her at this point.

"Um, Ruri..."

Shiraishi stood up from the ground, walked towards Ruri, and gave her a fawning smile.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Liuli instinctively took a step back.

In her opinion, Shiraishi's expression was definitely not the sign of something good happening.

"Um... I'm out of money for my research, and now I'm even having trouble eating. Could you support me for a while? It won't be long; I'll pay you back slowly after I graduate and complete some research projects..."

Shiraishi shamelessly asked Ruri to be his sugar daddy.

Ruri silently took out a kunai from her ninja tool pouch.

"If you want to die, I can grant your wish right now."

……

Ultimately, after signing a series of contracts, Ruri reluctantly agreed to take Shiraishi as her sugar daddy.

Chapter Seventeen: Minato Namikaze and the Medical Ninja Experimental Class

Ninja Academy, during physical education class.

Today's training activity is a race, fifty laps around the track. The student who comes in last will get ten extra laps.

Therefore, every student put in their best effort to avoid being last.

After running fifty laps, there was no doubt that Liuli was in first place.

As a girl, she actually really likes to use her fists to reason with people. In her words, this is the Uchiha clan's way of dealing with things.

Everyone was used to this kind of thing, and the homeroom teacher, Fujimura Taiga, also thought it was a matter of course.

Aside from the occasional emergence of commoner geniuses, the top spot among students in the same ninja academy is consistently held by members of ninja clans with strong backing and resources.

In particular, the Uchiha clan, together with the Senju clan, founded Konoha, making them arguably the most prestigious clan in Konoha.

The power of the guard force they control is beyond imagination.

Although they offended many people because of this, as the strongest ninja clan in Konoha, even the Hokage might not give them a friendly look.

As one of only two ninja clans that founded Konoha, it's understandable that they would have such a sense of pride.

"Congratulations, Liuli, you're number one again."

Fujimura Taiga said in a congratulatory tone.

Whether it's physical races, ninjutsu application, or competitions and shuriken fighting, Ruri is always number one in Class A of the third year.

With such a gifted student in the class, the students' grades will soar without the student doing anything.

There was only one thing that bothered him—

"Move aside, Chunin Fujimura-sensei, you're blocking my view."

Liuli frowned slightly, tilted her head back a little, and said in a somewhat impatient tone.

"..."

She's a disrespectful and unruly female student!

Do students talk to their teachers in that tone?

What's wrong with Chunin?

Chunin are already the backbone of the village.

Don't underestimate Chunin!

Fujimura Taiga was shivering with cold!

When will the Konoha Chunin truly stand up?

But then I thought about Ruri's usual shuriken-throwing skills, her ninjutsu, and how she could run fifty laps around the track without even breaking a sweat...

Fujimura Taiga was speechless.

It's a little sad to say, but he no longer has the ability to teach Liuli.

Being surpassed by a student should be something every teacher should be happy about, but seeing Ruri's disdainful gaze, Fujimura Taiga was extremely frustrated.

It wasn't just that he kept exchanging notes with his deskmate during class, which frequently aggravated his fragile psychology as a bachelor.

To get the two to pay attention in class, Fujimura Taiga once moved Shiraishi to a different seat. After class, Ruri rushed to his office, ready to teach him a lesson on how to be a good ninja academy teacher.

These are all bleak memories that Fujimura Taiga cannot bear to look at.

He was just a Chunin, and a Chunin at that, known for his teaching abilities, but unremarkable in combat.

Fortunately, he was broad-minded and didn't hold grudges against children, otherwise...

Otherwise, if you push him too far, he might dare to complain to the Third Hokage!

In his eyes, Liuli was just a rather mischievous girl, although sometimes she was too mischievous.

"Fujimura-sensei is a good teacher, there's no need to provoke him like this."

About a minute later, Shiraishi also finished running fifty laps, looking panting heavily and out of breath.

Running fifty laps continuously, each lap being four hundred meters long, without stopping and maintaining a certain speed, is quite difficult for third-grade students.

Most of them are like Shiraishi; although they can finish the run, they are breathless afterwards.

She's probably the only person who can run fifty laps around the track without batting an eye, like Liuli.

"Have you filled it up? If you have, go to the convenience store and buy me a glass of juice."

He gave Baishi a paper ticket worth one thousand taels.

"..."

Bai Shi went obediently, and when he came back, he bought two cups of juice, one for Liu Li and one for himself.

Liuli glanced at it but said nothing.

Just then, a sweet cheer suddenly came from not far away:

"Minato-kun!!!"

"Wow! Minato is so cool!!!"

Startled by the girls' loud shouts, Shiraishi and Ruri simultaneously looked towards another class on the playground, where they were also having a physical education class.

The central figure in the incident is a blond boy who is about the same age as Shiraishi.

Well, she's a bit effeminate, but she's really outstanding in appearance.

Especially her flowing, refreshing hair, and her delicate face that became shy and bashful because of the girls' coquettish exclamations, made her even more charming.

For a moment, the playground was filled with a pink atmosphere.

"That's Minato Namikaze from Class B next door, right? That guy is still so popular at school."

Shiraishi seems to have met the boy who was being cheered on by the girls.

Unlike himself, who was just an ordinary person, the other person was an idol of the third graders.

Although he looks a bit effeminate, he's really handsome and refined.

He'll definitely grow up to be a handsome man.

I am indeed simple and unpretentious.

so envious.

"You know him?"

Liuli raised an eyebrow.

We've spoken occasionally, but we're not exactly close.

Shiraishi took a sip of juice and said.

"This group of people is so noisy it's jarring to my ears."

"Well, that's youth."

"It's so noisy! Those women are such a bunch of infatuated girls. Instead of idolizing others, they should work on improving themselves. They're the type who will die young on the battlefield."

Liuli didn't hold back in criticizing those infatuated girls.

Is it really okay to curse your classmate like that?

"Who told them to be so noisy? I'm going back now."

After saying that, Liuli crumpled the empty paper cup into a ball, threw it in the trash can, and headed back towards the teaching building.

Shiraishi scratched his head, looking troubled.

The next day.

"I have an important announcement to make today."

The homeroom teacher, Fujimura Taiga, held a stack of documents in his hand and addressed all the students in the classroom with a solemn expression.

The students looked at each other, wondering what had happened, and whispered among themselves.

Ignoring the whispering students, Fujimura Taiga announced directly: "From today onwards, medical and hygiene classes will be officially a compulsory course for all grades at the Ninja Academy. In addition, the Ninja Academy will also establish an experimental class specifically for training medical ninjas; interested students can apply through me."
