Uchiha Izumi passed the Early Graduation Exam.
The news that she had completed it five seconds faster than the previous candidate, Uchiha Itachi, spread throughout Konoha like a wave.
A true genius since the Academy's founding, a genius girl of the Uchiha Clan, an unprecedented talent...
All kinds of titles, reputations, and descriptions sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
The Uchiha Clan was the first to be affected.
At that time.
Uchiha Fugaku was sitting in the Police Force office, squeezing a little free time from his busy schedule to savor his morning tea.
When the news reached his ears.
It wasn't only Uchiha Fugaku who froze.
The entire Police Force erupted.
Although they were reluctant to admit it.
But in the past...
The reason the positions of Third Hokage and Fourth Hokage had never fallen to the Uchiha Clan.
Was that no one in the clan had ever produced an absolute powerhouse as dazzling as the Ninjutsu Doctor, Konoha's White Fang, or the Yellow Flash.
Now.
First came Body Flicker Shisui.
Then Itachi.
And now Uchiha Izumi...
The Uchiha Clan had produced three peerless talents in succession in recent years.
What did this mean?
Was it finally time for the wheel of fortune to turn?
Looking at the Senju Clan in comparison.
Just when everyone thought... Senju Nawaki would inherit the renown of his grandfather, Hashirama Senju, and rise to prominence...
Senju Nawaki died during his first battlefield mission.
Tsunade had earned the title of Legendary Sannin, but she had only survived after being defeated by the demigod.
After Tsunade developed Hemophobia.
The Senju Clan... had completely declined.
It wasn't that the clan's population had decreased, but that it no longer had any absolute geniuses.
Everyone knew.
The Senju Clan would never produce another Hokage.
Then.
Now.
