I Joined a Class for Background Characters?

Good grief, another big shot!

Torikaze had thought she was just an ordinary little Uchiha girl. He never expected her to be Uchiha Chiri!

Then she must have already awakened the Sharingan, right? After all, she was the creator of the Forbidden Technique: Izanami!

If Uchiha Itachi had not used Izanami, even more people would likely have died in the Fourth Shinobi World War.

I wonder how many tomoe she has?

Uchiha Chiri seemed to notice Torikaze's surprise and asked, "What's wrong, Torikaze? You seem surprised?"

Torikaze waved his hands repeatedly. "It's nothing, it's nothing. I suddenly thought of something else."

Uchiha Chiri smiled lightly. "I see. It seems your attention is rather unfocused, Torikaze."

Being teased by a little girl made Torikaze feel a little embarrassed.

After chatting for a few more moments, the two went back to their own business. After all, they had only met on their first day and were not familiar with each other.

After a while, Maruboshi Kosuke walked over with two boys.

At first glance, Torikaze was startled!

One of the boys behind Maruboshi Kosuke had bright red eyes.

He had thought the boy was from the Uchiha Clan, but after taking a closer look, he roughly guessed who he was.

"Torikaze, I'm back. These two are my friends."

Torikaze stood and said to them, "Hello, my name is Torikaze."

The two had heard Maruboshi Kosuke say that he was bringing them to meet the head of the Windcloud Clan.

They had thought he would be some proud and arrogant person, but they had not expected him to be so modest.

Of course, Torikaze's title had intimidated them. They assumed he was the young head of some great clan.

In truth, he was merely an orphan with a tiny bit of family property.

If all the ninjutsu scrolls in his home were spread out, they could probably circle Konoha once.

"Hello, I'm Umino Ikkaku. Please take care of me."

The other red-eyed boy also said, "I'm Yuhi Shinku. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Just as expected! Within Konoha, aside from the Uchiha Clan—

Only Yuhi Shinku had red eyes. He was Konoha's master of genjutsu!

It was said that even the Mangekyō Sharingan could not reflect his genjutsu, though that remained to be verified.

In the end, he sacrificed himself during the Nine-Tails' Attack to protect the younger generation.

Torikaze was also no stranger to the name Umino Ikkaku. He was Umino Iruka's father!

Good grief, they're all famous people.

But why did they all seem like background characters? What kind of damn background actor training class was this?!

After getting acquainted and chatting for a while longer, it was time for class.

A young man entered through the door. Seeing that the teacher had arrived, the students obediently sat down.

The teacher nodded in satisfaction. "First of all, congratulations to everyone. Being able to sit here means that you all possess the aptitude to become ninja. Barring any accidents, you will certainly become ninja in the future."

He then began introducing himself. "My name is Sarutobi Mizuya. From now until you graduate, I will be your teacher."

"I am twenty-five years old and this is also my first time teaching. My strength is around average within the village. My hobby is exercise, and my dream is to teach students who can stand on their own."

"Now, please introduce yourselves."

Upon hearing their teacher say that, the students were somewhat shy at first, but gradually relaxed.

They boldly spoke of their hobbies and dreams. Even if some of those dreams were unrealistic, it was no big deal. After all, childhood dreams were the purest.

Torikaze also listened seriously to every person's dream.

Maruboshi Kosuke wanted to become a powerful ninja in the future, Yuhi Shinku wanted to become a master of genjutsu, and Umino Ikkaku wanted to become a teacher.

"My name is Uchiha Kyo. What I hate is weaklings like you. As a member of the Uchiha Clan, you are surely not worthy of knowing my dream. That is all."

After saying that, he sat down on his own, his face still wearing a disdainful expression as though he were looking at a swarm of insects.

With that one sentence, he offended every student in the class. Quite a few of them glared at him furiously.

But Uchiha Kyo acted as if it did not matter, not even glancing at them.

"That bastard, I'll make you regret this!"

"Mom was right. The Uchiha Clan is full of arrogant, conceited people."

"Damn it! We're all students. What makes you so much nobler than anyone else?!"

The students all voiced their dissatisfaction and moved away from his side.

Uchiha Kyo merely snorted coldly. This was exactly what he wanted!

These commoners should fear the Uchiha Clan's prestige!

Uchiha Chiri, who sat beside Torikaze, frowned slightly.

Clearly, Uchiha Kyo's words had left her somewhat displeased.

Soon, it was Uchiha Chiri's turn to introduce herself. "Hello, everyone. My name is Uchiha Chiri, and I like eating sweet foods."

"There is nothing I particularly dislike. My dream is for the villagers and clansmen to live peacefully without war."

Her bearing was proper and poised, carrying herself exactly like a young lady of a great family.

Her gentle smile made people feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

At first, when everyone heard the name Uchiha Chiri, they looked over with displeasure.

But after hearing Chiri's introduction, they realized that this girl did not seem to be the same kind of person as Uchiha Kyo.

Their gazes toward Uchiha Chiri also became somewhat friendlier.

Torikaze was also a little surprised, though what surprised him was that Uchiha Chiri's dream was somewhat similar to his own.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Torikaze. My hobbies are living peacefully and peacefully counting money. I hate plans, and my dream is to live peacefully forever."

Once Torikaze finished his introduction, everyone in the class was dumbfounded.

His hobby was peacefully counting money? His dream was to live peacefully forever?

What the heck was that supposed to mean?! Could he be a little more serious?!

Chisato, sitting beside Torikaze, really could not hold it in and quietly laughed. Fortunately, no one noticed, or she would have lost her composure!

It was also because of Torikaze's introduction that he gained a nickname in class: Calm Bro.

Well, it fit perfectly.

"Haha, all right, all right. I know everyone's dreams now, and I hope you can all achieve them in the future. Next, it's time for class."

Afterward, Sarutobi Mizuya explained the academy's various rules before beginning the first lesson.

It mainly covered the understanding of Chakra and how to refine Chakra.

In fact, this lesson could be said to have been designed specifically for commoners.

Any clan with even a little foundation would teach their children the basic knowledge of Chakra long before they entered the academy.

Most commoners' parents were not ninja, so they could only learn through the academy.

During class, the commoner children listened intently as Sarutobi Mizuya taught.

Among those from clans, only a few were listening. The rest kept looking around.

Torikaze belonged to the group that was listening.

Uchiha Chiri quietly asked, "Torikaze, you're listening so seriously. Haven't you learned about Chakra before?"
