Come Out. You've Been Following Me All This Way

Culture class scores of only five points?!

Uchiha Renye kept recalling the words Tobirama Senju had said before leaving.

As everyone knew, culture class at the ninja academy was not difficult.

After all, the Ninja World had always respected strength above all else, and culture class grades only covered basic common knowledge.

So the exams could be described as extremely easy!

And scoring only five points in such an easy culture class was practically equivalent to being an idiot.

The Second Hokage's meaning was clear: if he wanted to grow stronger, he had to lose his intelligence.

Uchiha Renye's face went pale, then flushed.

Sure enough, if one wanted to gain something, one had to lose something.

There were no pies falling from the sky in this world, only exchanges of one thing for another...

Trading intelligence for strength—at this moment, that was the only choice Renye had.

Although he might become an idiot, he would at least be a powerful idiot!

With great strength, he could protect his companions and would not die on the battlefield.

Although Uchiha Renye consoled himself inwardly and tried to accept it,

the thought of himself growing stronger only to spend every day with his head tilted, drooling stupidly made the corner of his mouth twitch.

"Hehehe..."

This was how Uchiha Renye imagined himself.

Sitting atop a treetop, his eyes vacant as he drooled and giggled foolishly all day long.

For a moment, he did not want to agree to Tobirama Senju's offer.

Fortunately, he ultimately chose not to refuse. Becoming a fool was still better than being killed.

His weakness was not something he could choose, but now that he had a chance to grow stronger, there was no way he could give it up!
