Might Guy: Do Your Best to Graduate, Qingshui-kun!

In the Shinobi World, strength is the only thing that holds the top priority forever.

If Qingshui wants to gain attention, he must demonstrate his strength at the right moment, and the Will of Fire is the most efficient way for him to make contact with the high-level officials of Konoha.

If he were asked to write a high-level policy proposal on people's livelihoods, he might need to think about it seriously for a while.

But if he only needs to grasp the key points of the Will of Fire and the Uchiha Clan to write an article that makes Hiruzen Sarutobi and Shimura Danzō sit up and take notice, that is very simple.

After all, he only needed to automatically substitute the thinking patterns of Itachi and Shisui from the original timeline into his own mind; it wasn't as if Seisui hadn't watched Naruto before...

Compared to being a genius who just cheers for the Uchiha, infiltrating the internal circle of Konoha's leadership will yield greater benefits for me.

Qingshui narrowed his eyes and calculated slowly:

This way, I can not only deflect the internal questioning from the Uchiha Clan, but also logically approach the likes of Minato Namikaze and his wife, the Sannin, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Shimura Danzō...

It is too dangerous to let these Kage-level ninjas of the Hokage lineage face off against me out of resentment or wariness. Once they feel resentment, like Tobirama Senju now, they will become guarded against me.

It is safer to start with other emotions, and it will be easier for me to find opportunities when their hearts are vulnerable.

Then, the key node lies in tomorrow's final examination.

With both practical combat and an exam on the Will of Fire, it is enough to attract everyone's attention...

Seisui poured himself a glass of hot milk, and after drinking it slowly, he began his bedtime stretches, just as he had described during his self-introduction to Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju watched this scene in silence.

Seisui had borrowed the self-introduction of Yoshikage Kira, a hand-fetishist serial killer, which previously led Tobirama Senju to mistakenly believe his personality was twisted and that he was the most insane type of Uchiha.

Yet later, in order to criticize Tobirama Senju from a moral high ground, Seisui fabricated a reason that he had developed the Secret Technique to summon him only to solve the problems of the Uchiha.

Now, what Seisui needed to do was return his actions to how they had been at the very beginning, constantly pulling back and forth to blur Tobirama Senju's vision.

This wise Senju already had a threshold and a sense of anticipation regarding the emotional fluctuations brought about by Seisui.

That is not good.

The next day.

Seisui, wearing black contacts, walked side-by-side with Shisui toward the Ninja Academy.

The two brothers ate steaming buns while quietly reviewing yesterday's battle.

"You did very well, Shisui. For a six-year-old, it couldn't have been more perfect. You will definitely be stronger than your brother in the future."

"Remember, don't expose your Sharingan easily. It will make people think you're a monster genius and ostracize you..."

Shisui rolled his eyes, nodded, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother, compared to my Sharingan, it's your combat style that's more shocking and intimidating..."

"Well, a young Uchiha genius might make some people nervous, but what if a genius like Tobirama Senju were an Uchiha who hadn't even awakened their eyes? The Konoha leadership probably never imagined such a scene, right?"

Qingshui ruffled Shisui's hair vigorously, smiling as he said, "In any case, remember what you just promised me—just be a good, ordinary genius."

"Leave the affairs of the village and the clan to your big brother."

Shisui hummed, seemingly enjoying the moment, though it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Qingshui-kun!"

A loud, spirited greeting intruded upon the harmonious scene of the Uchiha brothers.

Might Guy, wearing his signature green spandex, his bowl-cut hair soaked in sweat, flashed his bright white teeth and gave Qingshui a thumbs-up:

"Youth begins to burn from the moment you wake up! Qingshui-kun, let's have a passionate handstand running race to serve as a magnificent warm-up for the exam later!"

Seeing Might Guy's bizarre posture—head toward the ground and butt toward the sky—Shisui showed a look of embarrassment.

As an Uchiha genius, although his ability to accept things was strong, he was still reserved at heart.

Shisui truly couldn't accept this kind of social-suicide training method...

But Qingshui smiled gently and slowly gave Might Guy a thumbs-up: "Guy, you are always working so hard."

"I believe you will definitely become an incredible taijutsu ninja."

"Thank you for your consistent support, Qingshui-kun!" Tears welled up in Might Guy's eyes as he rushed to Qingshui's side and shouted:

"Qingshui-kun, do your best in today's graduation exam! Let's become excellent ninjas together!"

"Yosh! With Qingshui-kun's encouragement, I'll add fifty more laps to tonight's training. If I don't finish, I'll challenge Kakashi!"

Might Guy let out a roar and accelerated instantly, running in a handstand as if no one else were around.

"This guy..."

Shisui watched Might Guy's retreating back, narrowing his eyes in slight dissatisfaction. "What does he mean? Work hard together and become excellent ninjas? Is he mocking you for not having graduated yet, Brother?"

Qingshui smiled faintly, flicked Shisui on the forehead, and looked at his pained younger brother, saying leisurely, "Don't be so sensitive. Might Guy is just worried about me."

"After all, I really am an eleven-year-old Uchiha who can't graduate yet. I'm not a genius like you, Shisui."

In this era where the clouds of war had not yet dissipated, the graduation system of the Ninja Academy was exceptionally flexible.

As long as one was confident their abilities met the standard, anyone could apply for early graduation; it was not the uniform twelve-year-old graduation system of Naruto's time.

To date, the youngest graduation age was held by Kakashi Hatake, who entered the academy at five, graduated at six, and became a Chunin at seven. He was known as the strongest genius of this generation in Konoha.

This was why six-year-old Shisui wanted to graduate in one go and promote to Chunin, hoping to attract the attention of the village and the clan by surpassing Kakashi.

Kakashi Hatake, son of Hatake Sakumo, was the undisputed trending star and celebrity of Konoha today.

"Don't joke, Brother..."

Shisui shook his head sheepishly. "Compared to you, what kind of genius am I?"

"As long as you stop hiding your strength, it wouldn't be impossible for you to be promoted to Jonin by exception..."

Qingshui chuckled and didn't take the bait.

Although he was prepared to show his strength, he had no intention of promoting to Jonin; in fact, he didn't even want to graduate...

Today, Qingshui planned to use the exam as an opportunity to bind Obito Uchiha and Might Guy to himself.

As long as these two precious leeks hadn't graduated, Qingshui would stay at the Ninja Academy with them and repeatedly squeeze their value...

While talking, Qingshui and Shisui arrived at the Ninja Academy and stepped onto the vast playground.

Qingshui took one look and curled the corners of his lips: "My luck is quite good..."

For some reason.

Kakashi Hatake, who had already been promoted to Chunin, was standing among the faculty team, wearing the examiner's uniform, reading a book in his hand as if no one else were present.
