“Ha!
You bastard!
Who are you calling an idiot?!”
Obito immediately exploded.
His face turned red as he pointed furiously at Kakashi.
“You want to fight?!”
Guy, who had also been included in Kakashi’s comment, reacted very differently.
The moment he remembered Tanya’s repeated warnings about disrupting class, his enthusiasm cooled considerably.
A cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
If Tanya decided to make him copy military regulations again after class, his afternoon would be ruined.
As a result, Guy immediately sat upright and remained silent.
On the podium, Asano-sensei’s forehead bulged with veins.
The last traces of patience were rapidly disappearing.
“Obito!”
His voice boomed through the classroom.
“You brat!”
“Finish your introduction and return to your seat!”
Only then did Obito notice the terrifying expression on the teacher’s face.
His arrogance instantly vanished.
Like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
“…Yes.”
He reluctantly lowered his hand.
Before returning to his seat, however, he still shot Kakashi a fierce glare.
Asano secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good.
At least one disaster had been contained.
“Now then—”
Before he could continue—
A blur flashed across the classroom.
Several students blinked.
Kakashi had vanished from his seat.
The next moment, he appeared directly on the podium.
The movement was so smooth that many students failed to follow it.
Even several clan children widened their eyes.
Body Flicker Technique.
A genuine shinobi movement technique.
Kakashi stood calmly on the stage.
His expression remained indifferent.
“My name is Hatake Kakashi.”
His tone was flat.
“In the future, I want to become a shinobi like my father.”
The girls in the classroom immediately paid close attention.
Several were already blushing.
“As for what I dislike…”
Kakashi slowly shifted his gaze.
It landed directly on Obito.
A faint smile appeared beneath his mask.
The smile was small.
But devastating.
“Idiots.”
The classroom froze.
A second later—
“YOU DEAD-FISH-EYED JERK!”
Obito completely exploded.
The entire classroom shook from his shouting.
His sleeves were already rolled up.
“If you have something to say, say it to my face!”
“I’m going to beat you up!”
Several students immediately moved their desks away from him.
Others watched with excitement.
This was far more interesting than class.
Meanwhile, Tanya sat quietly in her seat.
Her expression remained perfectly calm.
No emotion appeared on her face.
Inside, however—
She was reaching her limit.
This classroom possessed less discipline than a newly recruited Imperial training camp.
At least military recruits understood basic order.
Here?
Children shouted whenever they pleased.
Students challenged each other during introductions.
Teachers lost control every ten minutes.
It was complete chaos.
Tanya silently repeated a mantra inside her head.
Remain calm.
Remain calm.
This is only the first day.
The system will correct itself.
Surely.
Eventually.
Hopefully.
Her grip on the book tightened slightly.
Kakashi completely ignored Obito’s outrage.
After finishing his introduction, he simply stepped off the podium.
A moment later, he reappeared in his seat.
He crossed his arms.
Closed his eyes.
And acted as though none of this concerned him.
That attitude only made Obito angrier.
“OBITO!”
Asano finally snapped.
The classroom immediately became silent.
Even Obito flinched.
The teacher pointed toward the door.
“If you say one more word—”
His voice was frighteningly calm.
“You can leave this classroom.”
Obito swallowed.
“…Okay.”
“Very good.”
Asano nodded.
Then his expression darkened.
“Now get out.”
Obito blinked.
“Huh?”
“You’ve already spoken.”
Asano folded his arms.
“Go stand outside.”
Obito stared in disbelief.
“But Sensei, I didn’t do anything!”
“You just spoke.”
“I was answering!”
“You are speaking right now.”
The teacher’s smile became terrifying.
“Outside.”
Immediately.”
The classroom remained completely silent.
Nobody dared intervene.
Even Guy looked away.
Obito looked around helplessly.
No allies.
No support.
No justice.
Finally, he lowered his head.
“…Fine.”
Before leaving, he shot one final murderous glare at Kakashi.
“Dead-fish eyes.”
“I won’t forget this.”
Then he trudged outside.
Asano watched him leave.
Only after the classroom door closed did he finally feel better.
Much better.
Order had been restored.
At least temporarily.
The introductions continued smoothly afterward.
Nobody else dared cause trouble.
One after another, students introduced themselves.
Some wanted to become powerful shinobi.
Some wanted to surpass their parents.
Others simply wanted lots of money.
Eventually—
It became Tanya’s turn.
She calmly walked onto the stage.
The room immediately became noticeably quieter.
Several students subconsciously straightened their backs.
The memory of the morning remained fresh.
Tanya looked across the classroom.
“My name is Tanya.”
Her voice was calm and steady.
“My dream…”
“…is to live a peaceful life.”
And preferably never deal with Existence X again.
The latter remained unspoken.
Silence filled the classroom.
Then polite applause erupted.
Not because they found the dream inspiring.
But because nobody wanted to risk offending Tanya.
Several students clapped so enthusiastically that it looked suspicious.
Tanya ignored them completely.
“Boring.”
Kakashi’s voice drifted from the back.
Tanya didn’t even glance in his direction.
A child criticizing her life goals held no value whatsoever.
She simply returned to her seat and reopened her textbook.
Asano quickly stepped in.
“Ahem.”
“Tanya’s dream is very practical.”
“Very good.”
“Next student.”
The introductions eventually concluded.
The remainder of the morning was spent covering basic Academy rules, shinobi conduct, and introductory theory.
Outside the classroom.
Obito stood beside the door serving his punishment.
Every few minutes he peeked inside.
Every few minutes he glared at Kakashi.
And every few minutes Asano glared back.
Each glare forced Obito to immediately retreat.
The morning passed surprisingly quickly.
When lunch finally arrived, students poured out of the classroom.
Asuma left immediately.
His expression was dark.
His eyes lingered on Tanya for several moments before he turned away.
Humiliation burned inside him.
He intended to find someone stronger.
Someone capable of teaching Tanya a lesson.
If Academy students couldn’t defeat her—
Surely a real shinobi could.
Tanya noticed the look.
She ignored it.
Cowards who relied on others were beneath her concern.
If Asuma truly caused trouble again, she would simply solve the problem directly.
Meanwhile, Obito arrived at the playground carrying his lunch.
Almost immediately, he noticed a crowd.
Specifically—
A crowd of girls surrounding Kakashi.
Obito froze.
Then jealousy surged through him.
Why?
Why was this guy always surrounded by people?
Especially girls?
It was unbearable.
Without hesitation, Obito pointed dramatically toward Kakashi.
“Broomhead!”
The entire playground turned.
“Let’s duel!”
“If the teacher hadn’t interfered earlier, I would’ve shown you what I’m capable of!”
The challenge instantly attracted attention.
Students rushed over from every direction.
A circle quickly formed around the two boys.
“Go, Obito!”
“Teach that white-haired guy a lesson!”
“I don’t know…”
“Kakashi’s the White Fang’s son.”
“His talent is incredible.”
“The Uchiha aren’t weak either!”
“Obito might actually win!”
“That’s youth!”
Guy shouted enthusiastically from somewhere in the crowd.
The discussion grew louder.
The boys largely supported Obito.
The girls overwhelmingly supported Kakashi.
The atmosphere became increasingly lively.
Kakashi calmly glanced at the crowd surrounding him.
Then he stood up.
Dusting off his clothes.
Without a word—
He used the Body Flicker Technique and appeared directly on the playground.
