Applying for Graduation, Purchasing Ninja Tools

Uchiha Tunan, back home, opened his diary and began to write a sad entry.

Although his hand was busy writing, his mind was filled with thoughts of those immersed Sharingan.

After finishing, he sat down under the eaves, gazing blankly at the Uchiha clansmen occasionally passing by the front of the house.

All the Uchiha clansmen had returned to Konoha now.

This meant that if Orochimaru wanted to experiment and obtain Sharingan, he would have to start from within the village.

He possessed the Three Tomoe and was situated on the edge of the clan compound, making him a very convenient target.

"The war is completely over.

It's truly unsettling.

I shouldn't have refused the Great Elder."

Uchiha Tunan rubbed his temples.

When he had awakened the Three Tomoe before, the Great Elder had planned to have Uchiha Tunan relocate to the center of the clan compound.

But at that time, Uchiha Tunan had already sided with Hiruzen Sarutobi, and with so many secrets of his own, he had refused the Great Elder.

"I can only rely on myself," Uchiha Tunan murmured. He surveyed the layout of the courtyard before getting up and heading to the storage room.

One should not harbor ill intentions towards others, but one must guard against others' ill intentions.

Uchiha Tunan had always adhered to the principle of "I don't offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will offend them."

Now, he just needed to take a few more precautions.

The following period was uneventful.

Uchiha Tunan had no intention of stirring up trouble again.

Because the graduation season was about to arrive.

"What? Tunan-kun, you and that guy Kakashi are preparing to apply for early graduation?" Obito asked, looking at Uchiha Tunan with surprise.

Uchiha Tunan nodded humbly, "I don't have much confidence, but I want to give it a try."

Might Guy overheard Obito and Uchiha Tunan's conversation and rushed over to Kakashi, excitedly saying, "Kakashi, are you really going to apply for early graduation?"

Kakashi nodded indifferently.

Might Guy immediately clenched his fists, his eyes seemingly burning with passion, and declared with great enthusiasm:

"As expected of my lifelong rival, youth is meant to burn with passion!

Since you're graduating early, I'll join you and we'll compete to see who graduates first.

The loser has to run five hundred laps around the track."

Might Guy's loud shout reached everyone in the classroom.

A large group of girls swarmed over, their eyes sparkling:

"Kakashi is graduating early?"

"Tunan-kun is also graduating early?"

"Tunan-kun is so amazing, he's already confident about graduating early."

"I can't even perform ninjutsu yet, and Tunan-kun already has the strength of a Genin."

"Tunan-kun is the best!"

"Kakashi is the most amazing!"

"Tunan-kun."

"Kakashi."

A group of girls surrounded Uchiha Tunan, and a group of girls surrounded Kakashi, and the two sides began to compete.

Obito glanced at Rin, who was surrounded by girls around Kakashi, and with a displeased expression, he slammed the table heavily and announced loudly:

"I've decided! I'm also applying for early graduation!

I'm the future Hokage, how can I fall behind?"

However, all he received in return was a group of girls rolling their eyes.

Only Rin kindly reminded him:

"Obito, to apply for early graduation, you must have mastered the Three Body Technique, and your regular grades must be an A."

"What! Three Body Technique!" Both Obito and Might Guy covered their faces with their hands simultaneously, looking as if they had eaten something terrible.

Might Guy was the first to react, tears streaming down his face as he said to Kakashi, "Damn it, as expected of Kakashi, you win this time."

Just then, Mizuki Uno walked into the classroom and coughed heavily.

Everyone quickly returned to their seats.

Mizuki Uno placed his hands on the podium and announced:

"Quiet down, everyone.

Tomorrow is the final exam, and I hope you all perform at your best.

Also, Tunan and Kakashi have both applied for early graduation.

Your exam location will be in the third-year classroom. Remember not to be late.

We'll dismiss early today so you can rest well."

"Burn, youth!"

As soon as Mizuki Uno left, Might Guy rushed out of the classroom first.

Judging by his demeanor, he was likely preparing to fulfill his promise and run five hundred laps around the track.

"Kurenai, the exam is tomorrow. Want to go grab a bite tonight? I heard a new ramen shop opened on the commercial street, and it's supposed to be really good."

"Good luck tomorrow, Kakashi."

"See you, Tunan-kun."

Once most people had left, Kakashi finally stood up and walked over to Uchiha Tunan, handing him a scroll.

"Here, everything's inside."

Uchiha Tunan smiled faintly and took the scroll.

This contained some truly valuable items that would greatly enhance Uchiha Tunan's sense of security.

"Thank you, Kakashi. How much do I owe you?"

Uchiha Tunan pulled out his wallet and began counting money.

Kakashi put his hands behind his head, looking lazy, and said, "No need."

Uchiha Tunan immediately put on a serious expression and said solemnly:

"Kakashi, do you consider me a friend?"

"W-why are you asking that?" Kakashi blushed and turned his head away.

"If you consider me a friend, then please accept this money.

Friends help each other in times of need, they don't take.

Even if these things aren't important to you."

After speaking, Uchiha Tunan pressed a stack of money into Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi looked down at the thick wad of cash in his palm, stunned for a moment.

"If you don't take it, I won't be able to rest easy, and I'll be too embarrassed to bother you with anything in the future."

"Bother."

Kakashi casually stuffed the money into his pants pocket and said in a seemingly casual tone:

"Want to come over to my place?"

His words carried a hint of seduction...

Seeing that Kakashi had accepted the money, Uchiha Tunan squinted and smiled, "No, I need to rest well today."

Returning home.

Uchiha Tunan closed the courtyard gate.

Then, he opened the scroll inside the house.

After performing a few hand seals, he placed his hand on the scroll and slapped it.

"Release."

A puff of white smoke rose, and the sealed contents of the scroll appeared before him.

Uchiha Tunan began to inventory them one by one.

Five Three-proof Explosive Tags, four Fuma Shuriken, two barrels of Burning Oil, two hundred meters of Chakra Wire, and one barrel of Quick-setting Cement.

These items might not seem like much, but they were expensive and not something ordinary people could afford.

Especially the Three-proof Explosive Tags and Chakra Wire.

A Chunin could probably afford them, but it would take multiple missions to save up enough.

A significant portion of the compensation his parents had perished had been spent on these.

Furthermore, most of these items were regulated goods, only purchasable by ninja.

Of course, if Uchiha Tunan really wanted to buy them himself, he could purchase them from the clan.

But Uchiha Tunan feared causing Hiruzen Sarutobi's misunderstanding, which would affect their ambiguous relationship.

Fortunately, Uchiha Tunan still had Kakashi, a brother like a sibling.

He figured Kakashi had asked Hatake Sakumo to buy these things for him.

Of course, it was also possible that Kakashi simply took them from home.

Uchiha Tunan began connecting the chakra wire to the Fuma shuriken and several kunai.

After connecting them, he sealed the Fuma shuriken and kunai into a storage scroll.

When it got dark outside, Uchiha Tunan moved the remaining items into the courtyard.

Meanwhile.

The white pigeons hidden around the house simultaneously activated their Sharingan, preventing anyone with ill intentions from discovering what was happening in the courtyard.
