He was in Konoha, exuding an aura of dominance.

"Yes."

Chapter 5 Roadblocks to School

That night, a typical detached house was lit up with gentle lights.

Wu Xian lay on the sofa, flipping through the medical books he had bought with his pension.

The enhanced Yin attribute tirelessly took effect at this moment, constantly generating new inspiration by combining it with the knowledge learned from books.

For example, making laxatives.

He was an orphan, but an orphan disguised as a family member of a hero.

After his parents died, he inherited the estate of his two relatives and then moved into an orphanage.

There was no other way; he was only a few years old at the time, and we couldn't expect a child who wasn't even as tall as the platform to take care of himself.

Fortunately, the orphanage does not restrict entry requirements; any orphan can enter regardless of their reason for being admitted.

As for the concern about being targeted by Danzo of Konoha.

Wu Shixian laughed.

Do you really think people will take just anyone? Someone like him, with no family background, no special talents, and an unremarkable product with nothing but good looks before obtaining the panel, is definitely a waste of resources in Danzo's eyes.

If Danzo were to come knocking on his door, all he could say was, "You old man have quite the appetite."

Relying on his mature mindset from his previous life, he stumbled along, learning to grow like a weed stubbornly sprouting from the cracks in the brick wall, and eventually entered the Ninja Academy.

"My body has grown enough, I can try practicing ninjutsu now."

Fifty Strings is planning the next step.

In this life, both of his parents were ninjas, one a chunin and the other a genin. They were still ninjas, and among their belongings were an inheritance, a pension, and several ninjutsu scrolls.

He has only practiced physical skills so far.

Initially, he also planned to target ninjutsu, since the most impressive thing about this world is all kinds of world-destroying ninjutsu.

Then he got to work, and then... nothing happened.

It's the same principle as having a top-tier cultivation technique from your past life openly displayed online for everyone to view, yet still making 99% of people sleepy.

In an environment where there is no mentor, no talent, and no background, the only option for someone to learn the ninjutsu on a ninjutsu scroll on their own is to elevate their head with a pillow at night.

In fact, ordinary students who graduate from the Ninja Academy basically only master the Three Body Techniques and basic ninja skills.

During peacetime, one can slowly grow stronger by ingratiating oneself with the ninja leader, but during wartime, it all depends on luck.

If one could become a strong person simply through unwavering will and hard work, then all the ninja academy students who graduate as genin would be flying in the sky.

It is now the 37th year of Konoha, coinciding with the end of the Second Shinobi World War. The major ninja villages are still rife with undercurrents and unpredictable events, but at least the most chaotic period has come to an end.

According to the original timeline, the next full-scale Shinobi World War would break out between 48 and 50. The relatively peaceful period of about ten years would be enough for him to spread the will of conquest to most of the Shinobi world.

The premise is to survive.

'It's a pity I was too afraid to ask Dean Nonou about studying with her before, and I wonder how she is doing now.'

Filled with regret for missing her chance to develop and worry for Yakushi Nonou, Igogen's mind gradually sank into the vast sea of ​​books until she lost consciousness.

Oh right, now that I'm physically fit, I can try out my old ideas once the funding arrives.

……

The next morning, the sky was bright and clear.

Yu Ge, full of energy, chewed on a piece of bread while scanning the road to school, looking for suitable candidates.

"That won't work; I just used my willpower two days ago."

"That won't do; he looks like an old guy about to graduate."

"Um... I haven't seen him much, let me ask around."

Amidst a mental whirlwind, Isogen suddenly twisted his body, dodging a hand that nearly slapped his shoulder.

"Your reaction time has gotten faster, Yu Ge."

A bright, cheerful laugh mingled with a hint of surprise appeared.

"Minato, you actually came to school with me today?"

The future fourth generation Minato is about to graduate.

Minato Namikaze's attention was drawn back, and he smiled brightly: "I got so engrossed in thinking about a question about ninjutsu yesterday, but seeing you puts my mind at ease."

As a close friend of Isogen, he knew very well his friend's timing skills, who was a 'terrifying presence' who would step into the classroom a second before the bell rang, leaving the homeroom teacher watching him with dread but unable to do anything about it.

"When are you planning to graduate?" Isogen asked casually.

"It should be soon. Graduating sooner will allow me to contribute to the village sooner," Minato said with a smile.

The Second Shinobi World War was fierce and brutal, with many powerful figures, including Dan Kato of Konoha and the son and daughter-in-law of Granny Chiyo of Sunagakure, falling to the ground. The major ninja villages suffered heavy losses and are now licking their wounds and trying to recover.

Konoha also suffered huge losses, which Minato Namikaze could see from the small details of daily life, so he wanted to graduate early to contribute his strength to the village.

Moreover, he not only wanted to graduate early himself, but also wanted to persuade Isogen to graduate with him.

Fifty strings are quite helpless about this.

What do you do after graduation?

Cannon fodder?

Only those within the family know their own situation. In Minato Namikaze's view, his rapid progress over the past month was simply due to his previous concealment of his abilities. However, Isogen was very clear-headed. If both of them had data panels, his current stats and Yin-Yang attributes might look similar to Minato Namikaze's.

But that was the level of normal development for Minato Namikaze as a commoner genius; he embarked on a different, more promising path.

Compared to wandering around the still chaotic ninja world, where he might be slaughtered by one or two powerful rogue ninjas from some unknown corner of the world, the peaceful life in Konoha suited him better.

Minato Namikaze is a hero unit that is still developing; he is a late-game talent-type player who doesn't really have an early game.

Seeing that Ichigen didn't want to delve deeper into this topic, Minato Namikaze, being sensible, didn't bring it up again.

Although he didn't understand why Isuji had such strong physical skills that he had never shown them before, Little Sun knew the boundaries.

Secondly, he didn't want to suddenly fall ill in his sleep one day, using up a whole roll of tissues and helplessly reaching out a hesitant hand to his neighbor across the hall while shedding physiological tears.

Just then.

"Hey, stop right there!"

The sudden provocation shattered the peaceful atmosphere on the way to school.

A ninja academy student who looked mature but was indeed an upperclassman blocked their way, looking at Igarashi with hostility.

"So you're the one who bullied my brother?"

younger brother?!

The fifty strings of the zither instinctively snapped to attention, but after a quick glance, they relaxed again.

There's no ping-pong ball crest, confirming it's not from the Uchiha clan.

Then take a look at its appearance.

"The Sarutobi family?"

Sarutobi Shikato snorted coldly and said angrily, "Don't try to change the subject. My brother told me yesterday that you bullied them by sneaking up on them. You have to apologize to me today!"

Before Igarashi could speak, Minato Namikaze frowned, looked around, and then spoke.

"Um, could there be some misunderstanding? Why don't we go to the school first? It's better for everyone to clear things up in person, since we're all classmates."

Chapter 6 Free Drug Testers

It is well known that a ninja academy experience in Konoha is incomplete without the experience of being blocked by older students from lower grades.

However, there is one thing that is different from what most people think.

It's not the Uchiha who are arrogant and domineering at the Ninja Academy, and who will block people at the slightest disagreement. Although this clan values ​​family and friends, Uchiha members generally don't care about serious duels, regardless of the outcome.

The arrogant Uchiha can accept defeat and like to bully the weak in life-or-death battles, but how could they bully a child who is still studying at the Ninja Academy in Konoha Village?

The person flew out as soon as he said it.

The family of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, is the one that truly enjoys ambushing people.

In the 37th year of Konoha, six years had passed since Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage. This was enough time for the clan members to enjoy the preferential treatment of the Hokage family in their daily lives and develop a sense of superiority.

Whether Hiruzen Sarutobi made his clan restrain and reform the Fifty Strings is unknown, but he probably did. However, there are always ways to circumvent policies, and besides, the Sarutobi clan is a large clan in terms of population alone. It's impossible for him to manage Konoha affairs while also keeping an eye on his clan.

However, all of this is because the bloodline of the Sarutobi clan, including the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, is completely incomparable to that of a prestigious clan like the Uchiha. Therefore, the Sarutobi clan's situation is now a dramatic improvement compared to before.

"A challenge? Right now?" Isogen raised an eyebrow.

“Right now, right here.” Sarutobi Shikato nodded, his eyes filled with malice.

The two stood still in perfect unison.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze could only sigh helplessly. When he looked up, he saw that all the ninja academy students who had been running wildly on the road had stopped at the same time.

Minato Namikaze's lips twitched; he really wanted to remind them that the class bell was about to ring.

"Both sides form an opposing seal!"

Before he could finish speaking, Sarutobi Shikato rushed towards Isogen Yogo, who had his hands outstretched and seemed completely unprepared.

He was making his own plans.

Last night he asked his younger brother, who had been beaten, and confirmed that there was also a girl with white eyes present at the time.

Sarutobi Shikatoka was not only older than Sarutobi Hihiko, but also more knowledgeable.

The pure white pupils clearly indicated that he belonged to the Hyuga clan. He had heard a little about the arrogance of the Byakugan. There was also a Hyuga ninja academy student in the year before him, who has now graduated. The arrogance of this clan can be said to be comparable to that of the Uchiha.

Bullying the weak will likely lead to trouble.

It's not a choice between provoking the Hyuga clan or bullying an orphan.

It's one thing to beat an orphan, but the teachers at the Ninja Academy wouldn't target a member of the prestigious Hokage clan just because of an orphan.
