Escape from Konoha.

In fact, during their time at the Ninja Academy, over 95% of the students had absolutely no interest in medical ninjutsu.

They are too young to understand why such boring and tedious courses exist in schools.

Bai Shi's introduction was very ordinary; he was just another face in the class and naturally didn't attract much attention.

"My name is Uchiha Ruri. I have absolutely no interest in you guys, and I don't intend to share my dreams and interests with weaklings. Don't bother me unless it's important, and don't bother me even if it is. If you can do that, then I'll consider you my classmates for now."

Gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, the girl on the other side stood up and introduced herself in a cold and arrogant tone, her eyes utterly icy.

However, her arrogant tone offended most of the students in the class.

"What's going on? Just because you're cute, you're so arrogant. It's outrageous..."

"Who would want to hang out with a loner like you? You're just being presumptuous."

"The Uchiha guys are really annoying."

……

Whispers immediately broke out in the classroom, all expressing dissatisfaction and hostility towards Liuli.

With a soft snort, Liuli sat down with her aloof attitude. Even though she had suddenly become the enemy of the whole class, she still seemed determined to do as she pleased.

Having such a standout deskmate is going to be a hassle; I hope I don't attract attention. Shiraishi scratched his head in frustration.

Two months have passed.

Shiraishi gradually accepted the unfortunate fact that he was in the lair of an extremely dangerous terrorist organization.

Fortunately, he not only hid his 'heretic' status well, without anyone noticing anything amiss, but he also used his position at the ninja academy to gradually grow stronger.

Aside from some promotional books about the 'Will of Fire,' the curriculum at the Ninja Academy still contains a lot of practical knowledge.

Shiraishi has already mastered the basics of shuriken throwing, chakra extraction and utilization, etc.

However, in practical classes, Shiraishi did not perform exceptionally well, achieving only a mediocre grade. He was neither at the bottom of the class nor among the top students, and was often referred to as someone else's child.

Therefore, Shiraishi is quite popular with the general public, and he can strike up a conversation with both male and female classmates.

Although playing ninja games with these people is rather childish, it's unavoidable in order not to stand out from the crowd. Consider it a way to relax during breaks from training.

However, this forced Shiraishi to work late into the night, studying medical books borrowed from the school library.

Having been a doctor in his previous life, Shiraishi understands all too well the importance of this profession.

Despite their supernatural powers, the ninjas of this world are still flesh and blood. As flesh and blood, they get sick and injured. Therefore, medical ninjas are by no means a superfluous or useless profession.

If I can protect myself as a medical ninja in the future, I can better hide myself in Konoha and find a suitable opportunity to escape from here.

But before that, he must rely on the power of Konoha to become stronger, and also on Konoha's intelligence network to gain a deeper understanding of the ninja world.

Therefore, Shiraishi believes that he should stay in Konoha for at least another ten years before considering leaving Konoha once he has the ability to protect himself.

During the day, they absorb knowledge at the ninja academy, and from 4 pm to 9 pm, they undergo various kinds of training.

Afterwards, I went home and read books on medicine until midnight.

Living at this pace, although tiring, also excites Shiraishi and fills him with a desire to explore a mysterious and unknown realm.

Chapter Four: Practical Lessons

The woods behind the ninja school.

Shuriken and kunai shot towards Shiraishi from all directions.

Shiraishi remained calm as he faced this horrifying scene, gripping a kunai in one hand and twisting his body as the kunai sliced ​​through the air with incredible speed.

All that could be heard was the incessant clanging of metal and the sparks flying from the metal. All the kunai and shuriken that flew towards him were knocked down by Shiraishi and scattered at his feet.

Shiraishi let out a soft breath, looking at the densely packed kunai and shuriken that had fallen to the ground around him, his expression still calm, as if achieving this level was nothing out of the ordinary.

But in reality, even a genin who has officially graduated from the ninja academy would find it difficult to deflect such a large number of kunai and shuriken without being injured.

Shiraishi was able to do this not only because of his hard work, but also because he possessed exceptional athletic ability and dynamic vision that surpassed that of ordinary people.

This is the powerful talent that Shiraishi possesses.

Furthermore, Bai Shi further optimized his motor nerves and dynamic vision by using some scientific training methods from his previous life.

Therefore, it was not surprising that Shiraishi could do this after only two months of systematic learning.

In his previous life, he was a senior doctor with a deep understanding of human anatomy and the importance of motor skills and dynamic vision for a ninja.

His powerful dynamic vision allows him to better detect the movement and attack patterns of enemies.

His exceptional athletic ability allows him to react quickly in battle and gain the upper hand.

Therefore, even though he already had excellent motor skills and dynamic vision, Shiraishi still compiled a training program tailored to his physical condition to further improve his motor skills and dynamic vision, striving for perfection.

Shiraishi is well aware that his greatest advantage is not his actual motor skills and dynamic vision, but the vast knowledge of another world that is contained in his mind.

This is the foundation of his reputation.

The power of knowledge is boundless.

Knowledge can not only cure spiritual ignorance, strengthen one's inner self, but also teach one how not to be dominated by ignorance.

Knowledge can also heal physical weakness and teach you how to become stronger more quickly and effectively.

Collect all the kunai and shuriken on the ground. Although these ninja tools are damaged, Shiraishi's funds are not particularly abundant. Even a piece of iron should be used to its fullest potential and not be wasted.

After all, he is currently in the stage of growth and cannot neglect his diet to ensure that his body receives sufficient nutrition.

After putting away his ninja tools, Shiraishi did not leave. Instead, he wrapped white bandages around his fists and legs and practiced taijutsu against a hard wooden stake.

Night has fallen, and the woods behind the ninja academy are quiet, save for Shiraishi's soft breathing and the sounds of his body hitting wooden stakes. Time slowly passes...

◎

the next morning.

Good morning, Ayane.

After spending two months together, Shiraishi and his deskmate Hinata Ayane had become very familiar with each other, and he addressed her casually.

Good morning, Shiraishi-kun.

In contrast to Shiraishi's casualness, Ayane, as a member of the Hyuga clan, had to maintain all the tedious etiquette expected of a large family.

After spending these days together, Shiraishi also learned that Ayane came from a branch family of the powerful Hyuga clan in Konoha, and that cataracts were a traditional characteristic of the Hyuga clan.

The ninjas of this clan use a bloodline limit eye technique called 'Byakugan', which they combine with their family's Gentle Fist style in battle, earning them a formidable reputation in the ninja world.

"You too, good morning, Liuli."

After sitting down in his seat, Shiraishi smiled and greeted the girl on the other side.

Uchiha Ruri merely glanced coldly at Shiraishi without replying, seemingly admiring herself in solitude, and continued to gaze at the playground outside the window as usual.

"By the way, have you heard, Shiraishi-kun?"

"what?"

Ayane spoke up, causing Shiraishi to turn around and look at her with a puzzled expression.

"I heard there will be a practical lesson today."

"Practical training?"

"Yes, it's also a practical course, but not the kind where you throw shuriken. It's a practical course where two people compete against each other."

Ayane's voice was soft.

"I see. This is a bit difficult for me, but it shouldn't be a problem for you, Ayane."

Of the three in Shiraishi's group, Shiraishi's grades were the most ordinary and unremarkable. Only his theoretical exams were considered excellent, while his shuriken throwing and physical fitness tests were only average.

He was neither a bad student nor an excellent student.

Of course, this was a deliberate result by Shiraishi.

In contrast, Uchiha Ruri, who has a cold personality and rarely speaks more than three sentences a day, firmly holds the top position in the class, ranking first in both theoretical and practical classes.

Ayane is slightly less skilled, but she is still among the top five in the class.

Like Ayane, Ruri also comes from a prestigious clan in Konoha—the Uchiha.

He possesses a bloodline limit eye technique called the 'Sharingan'.

However, the probability of activating the Sharingan is lower than that of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, but its power is greater.

Furthermore, the Uchiha clan ninjas are proficient in shuriken and fire-style techniques.

Shiraishi gradually learned about these things.

Shiraishi couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he comes from a wealthy family; he's in a league of his own from the very beginning."

"Let's work together, Shiraishi-kun."

Ayane encouraged Shiraishi.

"Okay, if you end up in a group with Ayane, remember to go easy on her."

Shiraishi didn't want to reveal his true abilities, which is why he only achieved average scores in all the previous tests.

The position of being neither too high nor too low is just right for Shiraishi.

Therefore, if Ayane were to be his opponent, Shiraishi had already decided that the best course of action would be to grit his teeth and persevere for a while before losing the battle.

I am just an ordinary person and cannot achieve outstanding results.

Of course, if he were to use all his current strength to fight Ayane, he might still be more likely to lose.

After all, she is a member of the prestigious Hyuga clan, and she must have received extra tutoring from her elders.

There is ultimately a huge gap between commoners and ninjas from clan systems.

All I need to do is maintain the normal standard of living that ordinary people should have.

That's what they say, but the ending is always unexpected.

In the first practical lesson—

As Ayane said, the homeroom teacher, Fujimura Taiga, organized the first practical test for Class A of the first year. The test was conducted in pairs, and he himself stood outside the circle with a notebook, looking as if he was going to take notes.
