Chiba Kawa had been enrolled in the academy for a year, and when he said he would use the Shadow Clone, he used it.
For the past year, it had basically been his Shadow Clone going to school and practicing Chakra nature transformation, while half of his real self’s time was spent training in taijutsu, keeping watch, beating dogs, and wandering around.
To reiterate, his body was still growing and not suited for high-intensity training, and entertaining himself to relieve the fatigue and pain brought by the Shadow Clone was quite nice; over the past year, Chiba Kawa had been physically and mentally healthy.
Accidents had still happened; not only did the people in the genius class know that Chiba Kawa was a Shadow Clone, but most people in the entire school were also well aware that a newcomer was using a Shadow Clone to attend school.
Aside from envy, jealousy, and hatred, there was only more envy, jealousy, and hatred!
But there was no help for it, as Chiba Kawa had people pulling strings for him at the top of the school; every teacher was all smiles towards him and responsive to his every request, and the Third Hokage didn’t care much either.
It was normal for young children to love playing, and playing within the Village to build bonds—wasn’t that also a form of the will of fire?
Perhaps because of the Shadow Clone, Kakashi Hatake grew anxious and graduated at an extremely fast speed, presumably even earlier than in the original work, and was even appointed as a Chunin a few days ago.
Graduating at 5 years old and becoming a Chunin at 6 left the entire Konoha astonished.
As expected of the White Fang’s son!
“Teuchi, I’m leaving.
Deduct the tab from the rent, handle it however you see fit.”
Chiba Kawa said this after finishing his ramen.
Ichiraku Ramen was indeed quite good, complete with color, aroma, and taste, and he came to enjoy it every once in a while.
“Alright, Boss.”
Teuchi nodded helplessly at the unreasonable request, but who made him the landlord?
Chiba Kawa patted his belly after eating and drinking his fill, and as soon as he stepped out, the beverage shop next door sent over a drink.
“Boss, this is a new release, please have a taste.”
“Mhm, mhm, Little Wang is very sensible.”
“Yes, yes, take care, Boss.”
Chiba Kawa glanced at him with satisfaction, then swaggered off toward the school with an arrogant gait.
Having not seen Uchiha Kiyone for a day, he missed her terribly.
The school dismissal bell rang, and students came out of the school gate one after another, while Chiba Kawa stood among the parents like an old father.
“Little brother, are you here to pick up your older brother or sister?”
A parent nearby kindly asked.
“To pick up my girlfriend.”
“…”
After a while, the Shadow Clone came out following the main group of the class.
The two sides exchanged a glance, and then the Shadow Clone formed hand seals and dispersed.
Everything the Shadow Clone had experienced today instantly flooded into Chiba Kawa’s mind: his classmates’ bickering, self-studied knowledge, the progress of Chakra nature transformation training, and so on—of course, including a massive amount of fatigue.
The vast amount of knowledge and fatigue also caused Chiba Kawa to instantly lose his focus, staggering and almost falling over.
“Jeez, nobody is chasing after you from behind, there’s no need to push yourself this hard.”
Rin Nohara hurriedly steadied him.
Knowing the principle behind the Shadow Clone, she understood Chiba Kawa a little better; how bad could such a hardworking person possibly be?
“Damn Chiba Kawa, hurry up and get away, go find your Uchiha Kiyone.”
Seeing Chiba Kawa being supported by Rin Nohara, Uchiha Obito had a reflex-like reaction.
“Rin Nohara.”
Rin Nohara said softly.
“Rin Nohara.”
Uchiha Obito gave a silly smile.
“Alright, hurry up and go, don’t affect Uchiha Kiyone and my time together.”
Chiba Kawa waved his hand and said.
Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yuhi, and the others twitched the corners of their eyes; he really didn’t treat them old classmates as human beings at all.
“Chiba Kawa!
You used a Shadow Clone to train again today, that is simply so youthful!
I must work hard too, today I will run 100 laps around Konoha Village, and if I can’t finish, I’ll run 200 laps!”
Seeing Chiba Kawa almost fall over because of training, Might Guy couldn’t help but be moved to tears, and instantly became youthful again, ignoring everyone and directly starting his 100 laps around Konoha.
Guy’s hard work perhaps made the Third Hokage look upon him very favorably; as soon as he completed 500 laps around the playground, he was allowed to enroll, and went straight to the genius class.
Everyone was already used to Guy’s strange actions.
Although he was a tail-end student, he was a hardworking tail-end student, which made him much better than Uchiha Obito!
Chiba Kawa silently watched the people leaving, specifically taking a look at Rin Nohara, and then shook his head helplessly.
“Such a gentle girl, no wonder Uchiha Obito likes Rin Nohara so much, what a pity.”
After a year of getting along, Chiba Kawa genuinely had some affection for this girl.
And while Chiba Kawa was waiting for Uchiha Kiyone, someone had been silently observing him all along.
“As rumored, he uses a Shadow Clone to train—a training method that is both genius and hardworking.
However, his lechery seems to be a fact as well, and what’s more, he is from the Senju Clan!
This simply won’t do!”
The young man frowned.
Chiba Kawa had been in contact with Uchiha Kiyone for a year; the Uchiha Clan couldn’t possibly have failed to notice.
The women in their clan with Ninja talent were not married off to outsiders, let alone a talented clanswoman like Uchiha Kiyone, and even less so to Chiba Kawa, a descendant of the Senju Clan!
To top it off, he was a lecherous brat?
All the negative buffs were completely maxed out.
Therefore, they absolutely could not allow it.
The young man was here today specifically to break up this couple.
“Uchiha Kiyone, my new jutsu has been developed, this time it will definitely surprise you!”
Seeing Uchiha Kiyone come out, Chiba Kawa immediately went up to her with a cheeky grin.
“Mhm.”
Uchiha Kiyone nodded.
She knew that Chiba Kawa had been developing a new jutsu recently, and now that it was developed, she was also quite curious.
“Uchiha Kiyone, come back with me.
And you, kid, you are not allowed to contact Uchiha Kiyone in private from now on.”
At this moment, the young man walked out and interrupted their conversation.
“Damn it, who the hell are you with that Toad Mouth?
Ugly people sure love to make a fuss, huh?”
Seeing someone interrupt his good time, Chiba Kawa instantly became unhappy.
“Cousin Uchiha Fugaku?”
Seeing the newcomer, Uchiha Kiyone couldn’t help but say in surprise.
This cousin of hers was a very busy person, yet he actually came to pick her up.
“Oh, so it’s cousin!
Aha, I was just joking earlier.”
Chiba Kawa tried hard to act as if nothing had happened.
Uchiha Fugaku?
His wife seemed quite nice; he wondered if they were married yet.
“Toad Mouth?”
No matter how good Uchiha Fugaku’s composure was, his defense was broken at this moment.
In his mind, he involuntarily recalled his own appearance, and it did indeed seem a bit like a Toad Mouth, which broke his defense even further.
“Chiba Kawa, you are a descendant of the Senju Clan, and we are the Uchiha Clan.
Marital relations cannot possibly exist between these two clans, give up.”
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fugaku tried his best to calm down and said in a deep voice.
After all, Chiba Kawa was a genius of the Senju Clan, and the Uchiha Clan didn’t want things to get too awkward.
Before any romantic sprouts appeared, making a clean break was the best outcome.
“What marital relations?
We are just friends, just like Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.”
Chiba Kawa spouted nonsense.
“Heh.”
Uchiha Fugaku let out a cold sneer.
Did he think he hadn’t investigated?
You damn well confessed the very first time you met, are the dignified Ghost of the Uchiha and the God of Shinobi really in that kind of relationship?
“Really, we’re just playing around, we’re good friends.”
“If you had said that before confessing, I might have believed you a bit.”
Uchiha Fugaku grabbed Uchiha Kiyone’s arm and left directly.
Chiba Kawa sighed helplessly; there wasn’t even any sprout of romance yet, and it was already cut short by the Uchiha Clan.
It seemed he could only become stronger in the future and snatch Uchiha Kiyone back.
“Damn Uchiha Fugaku, I can’t beat you, but can’t I beat your son?
In a few years, I’ll go beat your son to vent my frustration!”
