"Everyone, stop crowding around! Quickly check on Uchiha Fugaku! If anything serious happens to him, it'll be a real problem!" Shikaku Nara spoke up.
"Don't worry, I've calculated it. He'll at most break a few bones, nothing more," Hyuga Matsuba said with an innocent look.
When he made his move earlier, Hyuga Matsuba had been somewhat mindful. If something truly terrible happened to Uchiha Fugaku, how could he possibly continue to stay in this village?
Even if Tsunade were to help him, he was still from a clan, so things were uncertain.
Based on Hyuga Matsuba's impression of Hiruzen Sarutobi, if Uchiha Fugaku were to die, he would definitely fall into the hands of the Uchiha Clan.
This was the best way to resolve the conflict without causing chaos in the village. Things were different now; the Uchiha Clan was powerful.
If the Uchiha Clan refused to comply with the leadership, even if the entire village united against them, they might not be able to suppress them, and it would give other villages an opportunity.
Therefore, considering his own future, Hyuga Matsuba had been careful when he struck.
"It's okay, Mikoto. What's wrong with not belonging to that clan? Isn't it just as happy to be a civilian? Besides, look at the Uchiha Clan; they've been quite down since Uchiha Madara left. It's a good time for you to leave now."
Hyuga Matsuba began to comfort Mikoto.
"Okay, I understand," Mikoto was in a state of utter confusion.
"Mikoto, you don't have a clan now, but you can come with me. I have a house, and I live there all by myself!" Hyuga Matsuba flashed a smile, with a hint of anticipation.
Mikoto felt a bit embarrassed, but she truly had nowhere to go and couldn't find a suitable place to stay. Hyuga Matsuba's invitation had just arrived, solving her urgent problem.
By chance, Uchiha Fugaku actually helped me out a lot. I really need to thank him. When I see him again in the future, I'll definitely give him another punch. Otherwise, I can't express my gratitude. Hyuga Matsuba thought to himself.
"Hyuga Matsuba, just you wait! Our clan will definitely show you what we're made of!"
The Uchiha Clan's lackeys put Uchiha Fugaku into an ambulance. Before leaving, they didn't forget to hurl some threats.
"What happened?"
The incident wasn't over when the teacher arrived. Ueno Juri had heard the Uchiha Clan members making a racket from afar and rushed over to control the situation.
"You dare bully my student?"
As soon as the words fell, a mysterious power instantly enveloped those Uchiha Clan members. The teacher had seen big scenes before and had a formidable presence.
In an instant, the Uchiha Clan members' legs went weak.
"Hyuga Matsuba made the first move. It has nothing to do with us. Our Young Clan Head was hit too!" The Uchiha Clan members were shameless, starting to complain.
Upon hearing this, Ueno Juri pursed her lips, then spoke sternly, "I'll handle my students myself. But you dare bully my student here at school? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
"Wait, who used this Ninjutsu? Don't you know this is against the rules?" The teacher pointed at the crater left by the large fireball, his face serious.
"Reporting, it was Uchiha Fugaku. It was very dangerous just now; it almost cost Hyuga classmate his life," Nawaki answered promptly.
"Fine! I will report this brawl incident to the Hokage, word for word, and let him decide this matter!" Ueno Juri said with a stern face.
"What are you all looking at? It's almost time for class, hurry back to your classrooms!"
Ueno Juri shouted and went to check Uchiha Fugaku's wounds. He needed to understand the course of events thoroughly so his student would suffer less.
If Uchiha Fugaku had died, even if he wanted to favor his student, he would have been powerless. Fortunately, after checking, he found only fractures and quickly sent him to the ambulance.
After Uchiha Fugaku arrived at the hospital, Ueno Juri went to find the leadership to report the incident.
However, he hadn't fully grasped the entire situation and reported Uchiha Fugaku's violation of school rules by using Ninjutsu, which nearly caused a catastrophe.
After finishing the report, he had to rush back to the classroom. He needed to know the more detailed sequence of events.
"What exactly happened? Minato, tell me honestly!" Back in the classroom, Ueno Juri found a student who had been present.
The reason he sought out Minato was that this student was known for his honesty. With other students, Ueno Juri always felt they might lie.
Namikaze Minato was known as an honest child. Upon hearing the teacher's request, he recounted everything he had seen to the teacher.
"Hyuga Hiashi, you get over here!" Ueno Juri was angry.
"You're quite something! Do you even know your own limits? How old are you to dare challenge a senior?"
Ueno Juri sternly lectured Hyuga Hiashi. Although he felt wronged, Hiashi could only listen obediently.
"I understand you have a strong sense of responsibility, but you need to think before you act. If he had actually died, how would you still be the Young Clan Head?"
"I won't say anything else. I'll leave it at this. Go back and think about it carefully!"
Ueno Juri waved his hand, ordering Hyuga Hiashi to leave.
Then, he turned to Hyuga Matsuba and said, "What are you smiling about? Do you think you've gained some prestige this time?"
"Your punch almost killed your senior. Do you think you're so great? But have you considered how to handle the aftermath? If something had happened to Uchiha Fugaku just now, what would you have done?" Ueno Juri roared again.
Hyuga Matsuba remained silent, putting on a docile appearance.
The teacher in front of him suddenly gave Hyuga Matsuba a familiar feeling, like being back in school before his transmigration. His teacher back then used to scold students just like this.
"I'll stop here. I understand your rebellious phase, but from now on, whatever you do, you must think it through."
With a sigh, Ueno Juri put the matter aside and then led everyone to learn new material.
Today's lesson was still about Chakra. Hyuga Matsuba had already learned it, so he pretended to sleep and busied himself with his own affairs.
He hadn't understood anything before, which was why Hyuga Matsuba now had to spend a huge amount of time purifying his Chakra.
Hyuga Matsuba made a rough calculation and felt that it would take at least another six months to purify all the Chakra he currently possessed.
By the time it reached that point, Hyuga Matsuba's advanced Chakra reserves would also be halved, potentially placing him at the level of a Jonin, or perhaps an Elite Jonin.
However, at that point, Hyuga Matsuba's skill would definitely see a significant increase.
Time quickly slipped by, and with school about to end for lunch, Ueno Juri suddenly stopped her lesson. She leisurely said, "Hyuga Matsuba, come to my office. Everyone else, dismissed!"
"Matsuba!" Mikoto said, her face full of worry.
Hyuga Matsuba patted her back, telling her not to worry, and headed to Ueno Juri's office.
