“Kurenai, is my hair messed up?”
Chiba Kawa put on a pretentious act and adjusted his hair.
“It’s not messed up, it’s not.”
Kurenai Yuhi curled her lips.
His confession to her had been so perfunctory, yet his confession to an Uchiha was so solemn—what did he take her for?
“Hey, the bouquet is for you.”
Shizune had woven the flowers collected by the whole class into a bouquet.
“Mm, thanks, Shizune.”
Chiba Kawa took the bouquet.
This gathered the efforts of the whole class; little Uchiha Kiyone wouldn’t stand a chance!
Full of high spirits, Chiba Kawa went to find Uchiha Kiyone.
“Damn Chiba, actually making me go pick flowers!”
Asuma rubbed the redness and swelling on his face, and one could easily imagine this was the result of a failed rebellion.
“Exactly, exactly!
What good could possibly come from a commoner pursuing an Uchiha young lady!”
Shiranui Genma bit down on a senbon needle and analyzed rationally.
Uchiha with Ninja talents didn’t seem to marry outside their clan.
The boys also analyzed with fake solemnity, mostly because they heard that Uchiha Kiyone was very pretty, and wondered why Chiba Kawa deserved such a good catch.
As for the girls, they were very conflicted.
If that pest Chiba Kawa managed to win someone over, he would probably bother them less in the future; but since he was chasing someone from another class, didn’t that make their own class look low in terms of looks?
Moreover, Chiba Kawa was a genius.
One by one, they all grew melancholic.
“Haha, Kakashi, let’s go watch Chiba Kawa get beaten up.”
“That violent girl beat someone up without a second word the last time someone confessed to her.”
Obito, whose goggles had been smashed, looked smug.
Damn Chiba, just wait to be sanctioned by their Uchiha elite.
“Boring.”
Kakashi said indifferently.
He still had to go home and train, but watching peers fight to gain experience was still quite nice.
“So, can that Uchiha beat Chiba?”
Although he really wanted to see Chiba get beaten, Asuma still acknowledged Chiba’s strength.
“A mere commoner like Chiba, how could he possibly compare to our Uchiha elite!”
Hearing this, Obito became dissatisfied.
Uchiha glory—how could they possibly lose?
Hearing this, the crowd nodded.
Indeed, facing the rumor that one should retreat if facing an Uchiha one-on-one, even students like them who had just enrolled had heard of it.
Having been threatened by Chiba to pick flowers, they couldn’t wait to see Chiba get thrashed.
For a moment, the whole class followed Chiba Kawa to find Uchiha Kiyone.
Chiba Kawa didn’t have Sage Eyes, but amidst the crowd, he instantly spotted the figure that haunted his dreams.
“Beautiful Miss Uchiha Kiyone, would you date me with marriage as our goal!”
Chiba Kawa knelt on one knee, raised the bouquet, and said affectionately, “As the old saying goes, any relationship not aimed at marriage is just fooling around.” At this moment, Chiba Kawa felt he was deeply affectionate!
“Oh oh, sugoi!”
Obito opened his eyes wide and quickly jotted it down in his mind; he would do the same to Rin in the future.
“Rejected.”
Hearing this, Uchiha Kiyone furrowed her brows slightly and said softly, “Why is it this boring stuff again?
It seems I hit them too lightly in the past.”
With the goal of revitalizing the Uchiha Clan, Kiyone did not like such low-brow humor, even though the little white-haired boy in front of her looked rather pleasing to the eye, and he had put some thought into his confession.
“No!”
Chiba Kawa shifted from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both, letting out a despairing cry to the heavens.
With people like Shizune and Kurenai Yuhi, he was just all talk, but he genuinely liked Uchiha Kiyone!
Yet, Oh Heavens, why were you treating him like this!
“Hahaha, Chiba, you actually think you can chase our Uchiha elite with just that?”
Obito’s merciless mocking laughter came from behind.
Since he hadn’t seen Chiba get beaten yet, he had to laugh a bit louder.
A visible tic mark seemed to appear on Chiba Kawa’s smooth forehead.
Damn Obito.
If he hadn’t discovered that the more he beat Obito, the more clingy the guy became, he would go right over and hit him with a Senju Monstrous Strength!
“Eh?
You’re that Chiba Kawa who fought to a draw with White Fang’s son?
Come fight me.”
Kakashi’s name as a genius had spread throughout the school even before enrollment.
When Chiba Kawa suddenly appeared and fought Kakashi to a draw, he naturally became famous too.
The Uchiha’s bellicose factor activated, and Kiyone’s hands were itching.
It was definitely not because she wanted to beat him up so Chiba Kawa wouldn’t bother her in the future!
“If I win, can we go on a date together!”
Chiba Kawa immediately pushed his luck.
“Suit yourself whether you come or not.”
Uchiha Kiyone walked toward the direction of the training ground without looking back.
Chiba Kawa could only follow helplessly.
He didn’t like battles without any rewards at all; adorable Uchiha Kiyone was spoiled by her charms.
“Hehe, I told you Chiba Kawa was going to get beaten.”
Obito wore a look of “I knew it.”
Hearing this, the boys and girls of the genius class simultaneously revealed gloating smiles.
Even the usually gentle Rin was no exception; Chiba deserved a good thrashing!
“Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu—what are you good at?”
Suddenly remembering that Chiba was only 6 years old, Uchiha Kiyone asked with one hand on her hip, not wanting to bully a little kid.
“I don’t know Genjutsu, my Taijutsu should be relatively strong.”
Chiba Kawa answered truthfully.
Uchiha Kiyone nodded without a word, then suddenly swooped down toward Chiba, followed by an Uchiha Flying Kick!
“Damn it, ignoring martial arts ethics!”
Seeing the kick getting closer and closer, Chiba Kawa didn’t even have the heart to think about pretty feet anymore.
He cursed inwardly and crossed his arms in front of him for defense.
Bang!
Chiba Kawa was forced back step by step due to the immense momentum.
Uchiha Kiyone pressed her advantage relentlessly, launching consecutive attacks while he was flustered!
“Damn Uchiha!”
Chiba Kawa had grievances he couldn’t voice and could only protect his vital parts.
He had underestimated this Uchiha.
“Haha, go for it, Sister Kiyone!
Beat Chiba to a pulp and pay back the beating he gave me!”
As time passed, seeing the bruises turning black and blue on Chiba Kawa, Obito immediately shouted excitedly.
“Hoo hoo!”
Uchiha Kiyone ignored her clan’s tail-end student.
A storm-like attack naturally consumed a huge amount of stamina, and since she was only 8 years old, she couldn’t quite handle it for long.
“Strange, why is this guy so tough?
And why does his Taijutsu feel inexplicably harmonious with our Uchiha Taijutsu?
It’s as if we’ve sparred together for a long time?”
Any systematic Taijutsu would definitely adapt randomly in battle, but Uchiha Kiyone felt she could finish her entire combo without any issues.
“Forget it, continuing to fight won’t lead to any good result either.
I certainly don’t want to go home reeking of sweat!”
Thinking this, Uchiha Kiyone widened the distance.
“Hey, you know defensive Ninjutsu, right!”
Saying this, Uchiha Kiyone glanced around and felt relieved upon noticing a teacher watching.
“Defend against what?
I’m going to attack!
Water Release: Water Colliding Wave!”
Kiyone curled the corner of her lips.
What kind of damage could the impact of such a weak, shallow Water Release possibly do?
“Fire Release: Grand Fireball!”
The huge fireball overwhelmed the Water Colliding Wave and blasted toward Chiba Kawa!
