“Is that so?” Kakashi looked disbelieving.
His father had just met Might Guy at the gate, who hadn’t passed the exam, and he had said the same thing.
That guy was desperate to get into the Ninja Academy but couldn’t use Ninjutsu; it sounded too exaggerated no matter how you thought about it.
Yet his father told him that if things went on like this, Might Guy would become stronger than him.
And now, another person named Sosuke had popped up.
Could it be that he couldn’t beat anyone?
Even though Kakashi knew about Sosuke’s lineage, he was still very confident.
Because he was the son of Konoha’s White Fang!
“Kakashi, just go in with Sosuke.” Sakumo Hatake said to Kakashi.
Today was the entrance ceremony; the Ninja Academy students needed to familiarize themselves with their classrooms and collect their files.
“Please take care of me from now on, Kakashi,” Sosuke said.
Then Sosuke and Kakashi walked into the classroom; they happened to be in the same class.
On the way, Kakashi seemed a bit taciturn, observing Sosuke from time to time.
…
Sosuke was busy researching this System.
The traits seemed to be divided into E, D, C, B, A, and S ranks.
“Why didn’t I collect any traits from Tsunade?” Sosuke rubbed his chin.
He still needed to research how to trigger collectible traits.
After arriving at the classroom, Sosuke found a seat and sat down.
Seeing this, Kakashi also sat not far from Sosuke.
“Kakashi, how are you doing with learning your father’s swordsmanship?” Sosuke asked casually.
He wanted to see if certain actions could trigger trait collection.
“My father’s swordsmanship is very difficult to learn; I’ve only learned the basics.” Kakashi shook his head.
His father was the famous “Konoha’s White Fang” Sakumo Hatake, whose swordsmanship was far too advanced.
But for some reason, Kakashi always felt that learning Ninjutsu was even easier for him.
Before enrolling, he already knew D-rank Ninjutsu and had even participated in the Youth Ninjutsu Competition, winning a silver Kunai.
“I see.” Sosuke nodded.
“If there’s a chance, I hope to learn from you.”
Sosuke wanted to know if he could collect more of Kakashi’s traits this way.
In Sosuke’s eyes, a Genius youth like Kakashi, who could create an S-rank Ninjutsu at 13, was simply a walking gold mine!
“Of course.”
Kakashi was the first peer he had met who was interested in his swordsmanship.
It just so happened that Kakashi was also curious; since Sosuke was so interested in swordsmanship, perhaps he had some foundation in it.
So the two agreed to go over together after school.
…
“You’re here, Kakashi.”
While Sosuke and Kakashi were chatting, a little girl walked in through the door.
She had short hair, two purple markings on her cheeks, and a gentle smile on her face.
“Rin, you’re early too.” Kakashi greeted Rin Nohara.
“Eh, is this your new friend, Kakashi?”
As soon as Rin Nohara entered the classroom, she noticed Sosuke.
Sosuke was quite handsome too, even when sitting next to Kakashi.
“Hello, I am Sosuke,” Sosuke said, giving a quick nod.
He didn’t have a surname now.
The Senju Clan had already disbanded, and all the Senju clansmen had hidden themselves in the world, integrating into Konoha.
Because the Senju lineage didn’t have any obvious characteristics, the integration went very smoothly.
It served as a safety net for the future civilians of Konoha.
…
Sosuke looked at Rin Nohara; she was indeed very pretty.
As expected of her, capable of making Obito completely infatuated and crazy in love.
“Hello.” Rin Nohara said politely, holding a book titled “Introduction to Medical Ninja” in her arms.
Before the teacher arrived, Rin Nohara sat quietly reading, occasionally chatting with Sosuke and Kakashi.
[Detected collectible trait: E-rank trait]
[E-rank trait: Aspiration of a Medical Ninja]
[Effect: Your focus when practicing Medical Ninjutsu increases by 40%.]
Sosuke raised an eyebrow.
This works too?
He scanned the room and found that only Rin Nohara was reading, which best fit the conditions for this trait.
Loving to study is good; one must love to study more!!!
Sosuke wished Rin Nohara would immediately go read “Three Years of Medical Ninjutsu, Five Years of Ninjutsu” so he could collect more traits.
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in.
He first introduced himself and wrote his name on the blackboard.
Umino Shika.
“Everyone, let’s introduce ourselves.”
Umino Shika turned around and ushered the crowd.
…
Before long, it was Kakashi’s turn to introduce himself.
“I am Kakashi Hatake.
My dream is to become a great Ninja like my father.”
Kakashi introduced himself simply.
Because he hadn’t taken off his mask, it looked like he didn’t even open his mouth to speak.
After a few more, it was Rin Nohara’s turn.
She said she wanted to become a Medical Ninja.
Then Kurenai Yuhi wanted to become a Genjutsu Ninja, and so on.
Then came the speeches of Asuma Sarutobi, Hyuga Natsu, Uchiha Tekka, and others.
Finally, it was Sosuke’s turn.
“My name is Sosuke, six years old, living in the old Senju residential area, unmarried.”
“I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I sleep at 11 o’clock every night, ensuring 8 hours of sleep like a baby.
I never leave fatigue or stress for the next day.
Even Sister Tsunade says I’m normally abnormal.”
“I just want to say, I have no extravagant desires; I only hope to live peacefully.”
Sosuke introduced himself indifferently, casually revealing his background.
Someone of mixed heritage like him was the easiest to be bullied.
This kind of news couldn’t be hidden; that old guy, Danzo Shimura, loved to spread rumors.
Although Sosuke wasn’t afraid, he didn’t want to invite trouble.
In Konoha, bullying was as simple as breathing.
Like Kushina being bullied for her red hair, and Hinata being bullied for her Byakugan.
They weren’t afraid of being seen by bodyguards at all, knowing what it meant to trespass into a noble family.
Sure enough, as soon as the classmates heard that Sosuke lived in the old Senju residential area, they were shocked.
