This turn of events made Rin Nohara, standing nearby, cover her mouth and giggle.
“Asuma, stop messing around.”
“Bastard!” The mysterious person straightened up, took a stance, and glared fiercely at Uchiha Nan.
“I am the famous Asuma Sarutobi, so don’t underestimate me, you bastard.”
Uchiha Nan naturally recognized this guy; after all, having an old man’s face at such a young age was unique in the entire Ninja World.
Still, he pretended to be nonchalant and said,
“Oh, so you’re the Hokage’s son.
I’ve heard of you.”
“Damn it!”
Asuma Sarutobi hated it when people brought up his identity as the Hokage’s son; Uchiha Nan had touched his sore spot.
He circulated his Chakra, held a Kunai, and lunged quickly at the pretty boy.
Uchiha Nan stepped back in a lunge, coating his legs with Chakra.
This was a technique he had mastered after training to climb houses the previous night.
It allowed him to coat parts of his body with Chakra to protect against a certain degree of damage.
Just as Asuma Sarutobi’s Kunai was about to reach him,
Rin Nohara’s eyes widened, and she started to move over to push him away, but Uchiha Nan adjusted the Chakra inside his body, and an invisible whirlwind gathered at his feet.
“Konoha Whirlwind!”
With a whip kick combined with the D-rank Taijutsu, the Kunai that Asuma Sarutobi had thrust forward was shattered into three pieces and sent flying.
He was also knocked to the ground by the impact on his arm.
He stared, dumbfounded, at Uchiha Nan, who was retracting his leg, and said in disbelief,
“D-rank Taijutsu?
How is that possible for you?”
As the son of the Hokage, having grown up surrounded by such things, how could he not know about Konoha Whirlwind, this D-rank Nin-Taijutsu technique that was so full of flaws?
The Substitution Jutsu from before was one thing; he could perform that level of technique too, he just wasn’t proficient at it.
But this was a technique only a Genin could master, and even then, a Genin without the necessary physical fitness couldn’t use it.
Yet Uchiha Nan, who was only six years old, could use such a powerful technique.
Looking at his calm and relaxed demeanor, it was clear he hadn’t exerted much effort.
While Asuma Sarutobi was still in shock, he noticed a hand appear in front of him.
He looked up.
It was the guy he had dismissed as a pretty boy reaching out to him.
“Get up.
You weren’t kicked away by my move just now; your strength isn’t bad.”
The Hokage’s son naturally surpassed a large group of people in terms of status.
Asuma Sarutobi was stunned.
Hadn’t he intentionally kicked at an angle to miss just now?
Why would he say that?
However, after a second of hesitation, Asuma Sarutobi realized that Uchiha Nan was giving him an out.
This pretty boy wasn’t so bad after all.
After all, as the Hokage’s son, having been exposed to these things since childhood, he quickly caught on.
He reached out, grabbed Uchiha Nan’s hand, and used the strength provided to stand up.
“Obviously.
Do you know who you’re talking to?
You might be strong, but I’m no pushover.”
“But that move just now was indeed cool.
I’ll begrudgingly admit that you’re the number one genius of the younger generation.”
After all, since the other guy had just given him an out, he had to return the favor, right?
Uchiha Nan shook his head.
“The number one genius probably still needs to defeat that guy.”
Amidst the confused gazes of the others, Uchiha Nan turned his head to look at the corner where Asuma Sarutobi had emerged from.
“Hey, Kakashi, haven’t you seen enough?”
Asuma Sarutobi and Rin Nohara exchanged glances.
Kakashi?
Where was Kakashi?
Asuma Sarutobi even wanted to say that Uchiha Nan must have been mistaken.
He had been lying in ambush here for a long time.
How could anyone be hiding there right under his nose?
If it were a Ninja, that might be one thing, but he had seen Kakashi before; how could he be that good?
Uchiha Nan must have guessed wrong.
If someone could hide right under his nose until now, he, Asuma Sarutobi, would spell his name backward from now on.
“How did you find me?”
Kakashi walked out calmly from the spot where Asuma Sarutobi had just appeared, looking at Uchiha Nan.
Uchiha Nan’s lips curled into a smile.
“Just when Asuma was about to attack me, someone’s presence fluctuated quite intensely for a split second.”
“And if I’m not mistaken, you hid here specifically because you knew Asuma and the others were going to ambush me.”
“What are you talking about?
Don’t just make things up, okay?
I was just practicing hiding my presence here!
I wasn’t worried about you at all.”
Kakashi argued, his face flushing red.
Although he was wearing a mask, how could he hide that from Uchiha Nan?
He didn’t say anything more, just walked over and put his arm around Kakashi’s shoulder.
Kakashi struggled a little, but the force was very weak.
Seeing that he couldn’t break free, he turned his head and acquiesced.
Everyone saw it; it wasn’t that he wanted to, it was just that this guy’s strength was too great.
In a harmonious atmosphere, the group gathered around Uchiha Nan and walked toward the school gate.
They had initially acknowledged Uchiha Nan’s strength.
Not long after they left, Uchiha Ryuichi, with a dark expression, slid down from a large tree.
“How is Uchiha Nan capable of this?” He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, his heart filled with disbelief.
A loser who he used to bully at will had, in such a short time, become proficient in a D-rank Ninjutsu.
He was extremely unwilling to accept this.
How could an orphan without parents like Uchiha Nan deserve this?
“There must be a reason for this.
He definitely has an unspeakable secret.
I must find it and take it for myself.”
Uchiha Ryuichi’s expression gradually became sinister.
He had previously planned to find some Ninjas to teach Uchiha Nan a lesson.
Now, he planned to change that plan.
He intended to find people to capture Uchiha Nan, beat the secret out of him, and then kill him.
If he could hold it in his own hands—if Uchiha Nan could use this secret to become stronger, then he could definitely do even better.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Ryuichi seemed to have already envisioned himself killing Uchiha Nan, punching his old father, and stepping on the clan leader Uchiha Fugaku.
Leading the Uchiha Clan to unify Konoha, fulfilling their long-cherished wish, and becoming the Fourth Hokage.
Hahahaha, hahahaha.
Uchiha Nan did not know that someone had already started coveting his cheat code.
After the group submitted their files at the administration office, they were informed that today was the entrance ceremony and that Sandaime would be giving a speech in person.
After clarifying the location, Uchiha Nan and the others arrived at the square inside the campus, where their batch of new students had already gathered sporadically.
Their teacher, Umino Iruka, was also among them.
“Asuma, you are the son of Sandaime.
Will Hokage-sama really come?”
Rin Nohara asked Asuma curiously at this moment.
