An Inexplicable Conflict

Early in the morning, Danzo stood at the doorway, squinting at the drenched Bing San and calling out, "Come back for dinner!"

Bing San's running body paused. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook off the dew from his body, and slowly reduced his speed, returning to his room to change.

During the meal, Danzo's furrowed brow relaxed slightly as he said, "I've arranged for someone to protect you in secret, but don't run around recklessly. It's not safe outside!"

"Understood, Lord," Bing San put down his chopsticks, stood up, and prepared to go to school.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he ran into a bruised and battered Asuma. Bing San, finding it strange, went up to ask Asuma what happened.

Asuma mumbled incoherently, "Hmph, the old man only knows how to compromise with those people and doesn't care about our thoughts at all!"

Bing San's mouth twitched. Asuma seemed to have a fated rivalry with our Third Lord.

As soon as he entered the school, he heard his classmates discussing in hushed tones:

"Did you hear? Kakashi also applied for graduation."

"Kakashi is only a little over five years old, how can he be graduating already?"

"Kakashi's father committed suicide out of guilt. Kakashi seems to have been stimulated, so he's graduating to become a ninja."

Bing San narrowed his eyes and looked at Shikaku, who was tilting his head back and staring at the sky, asking, "Shikaku, what's wrong with you? Did you run out of stock after saying goodbye to your first brother?"

Shikaku rolled his eyes and said, "Brat, don't talk nonsense. I'm a good kid who keeps myself pure. It's just that my family is urging us to graduate quickly and come home!"

Bing San's eyes narrowed. He thought, Is the situation so tense that it's about to explode? Or did something happen? Could it be related to Hatake Sakumo's death?

Just as Bing San was about to ask further, the teacher pushed the door open, and everyone had to sit down quietly.

In the afternoon, a group of children stood on the playground waiting to draw lots for their matches.

Suddenly, Asuma, with a bruised and battered face and slurred speech, jumped out of the crowd and yelled at the Hyuga brothers, "I want to fight you one-on-one!"

Hyuga Go pointed at Asuma's rather comical face and said, "Hahaha, you? You can't even perform the Three Body Jutsu and you want to challenge my elder brother. Elder brother, let me teach this brat a lesson."

Although they were twin brothers, they looked nothing alike, and their personalities were even more dissimilar.

Hyuga Kuji squinted at Asuma and said, "Go, don't always cause trouble for me. We can just ignore troublesome guys like this."

Uchiha Feng also said, "Exactly. Don't even look at what you are, you want to challenge us. Go home and drink milk."

Asuma's face turned red with anger, but he didn't know what to say. The teacher just shook his head and then said, "Everyone, come over quickly and draw lots."

Bing San shook his head. These boring guys!

During the lot drawing, Bing San drew Tian Yi, and Uchiha Feng happened to draw Di Yi. The two stood opposite each other, ready to fight.

Asuma suddenly shouted, "Bing San, if you beat these bastards soundly, I'll recognize you as my big brother!"

Bing San cursed inwardly, You're the big brother, your whole family are big brothers!

Bing San looked at Uchiha Feng without speaking. He really had no interest in fighting them.

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the children seemed to have suddenly found their inner freedom fighters and started shouting loudly!

Uchiha Feng, Hyuga Kuji, and others, who were defined as antagonists, had unpleasant expressions.

Bing San's expression wasn't much better. This "big brother" title was really unlucky; he didn't want it!

Uchiha Feng, standing opposite him, had a face as dark as the bottom of a pot. He spoke through gritted teeth, "You, you all just wait. Little brat, I've decided. I will definitely teach you a good lesson and let you know the huge gap between noble bloodlines and you lowly commoners."

With that, without waiting for the teacher to call "start," three wooden shuriken flew towards Bing San.

Bing San dodged to the side, lowering his head to avoid the shuriken, and extended his hand to block his left side. He clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his chest. This was the combat starting stance taught to him by Yong Ren.

With a snap, Uchiha Feng's right fist was blocked by Bing San's left hand. Bing San swung his right leg towards Uchiha Feng.

Uchiha Feng dodged to the side, and Bing San's kick missed. Uchiha Feng took advantage of the momentum, grabbed Bing San's left arm, and yanked him forward. Bing San was pulled off balance.

Uchiha Feng lunged at Bing San with his left knee.

Bing San quickly raised his right hand to block. With another snap, the knee hit Bing San's right hand, which he caught. Bing San adjusted his center of gravity and jumped to the side, creating distance.

In the blink of an eye, after just one exchange, Bing San was repelled by the enraged Uchiha Feng.

Uchiha Feng slightly adjusted his stance, casually pulled out a wooden kunai, and said, "Is this all you've got? Even if the Shimura family became high-ranking officials for a time, they were just nouveau riche."

Bing San just rubbed his sore wrist and didn't reply. The second round began.

Bing San was somewhat annoyed. He hadn't said anything at all.

Bing San quickly threw a wooden kunai and charged forward. Uchiha Feng quickly knocked the kunai away and then engaged Bing San in a fierce fight.

Bing San took two punches, and Uchiha Feng took one kick. The two separated again.

Fortunately, Orochimaru's secondary modification of Bing San's body meant that Bing San could keep up with Uchiha Feng's speed.

Now that his speed and strength were sufficient, he had only suffered a slight disadvantage due to his lack of experience.

The two separated again, Bing San's face bruised and Uchiha Feng sporting a shoe print on his stomach.

After two rounds of combat, they separated once more. This time, Uchiha Feng didn't waste any words and stood still, beginning to form hand seals. Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Dog.

Uchiha Yue, that somewhat scheming little loli, frowned and said:

"It's the Great Fireball Technique. It looks like brother is getting serious. I hope that little shrimp doesn't die."

As soon as Bing San noticed the other party forming hand seals, a flash of inspiration struck him. He clasped his hands together, forming the Dog seal, and shouted, "Water Style: Water Bullet Technique!"

Uchiha Feng completed his hand seals, his eyes wide as he stared at Third Rank and shouted, "Die! Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

The teacher's eyes narrowed, and he muttered in a low voice, "How is that possible? No hand seals? This child!"

A fireball about thirty centimeters in diameter shot out from Uchiha Feng's mouth, instantly colliding with Bing San's water projectile, which was about half a meter long.

Instantly, the entire training ground was filled with thick fog, and the children quickly widened their eyes, watching this rare clash of ninjutsu!

However, the high temperature and dense fog made it impossible to see clearly and was unbearably hot.

Seizing the opportunity, Bing San gritted his teeth, enduring the burning sensation as he charged towards Uchiha Feng. He crouched down, using his right foot as the pivot, the power originating from the ground, traveling through his waist, passing through his right arm, and his right fist swung with all his might upwards.

Bing San shouted, "Hao You Gen!"

Everyone heard a plop, and the crowd began to stir.

One child anxiously asked, "Who won?!"

Another child said with some dejection, "It must be Uchiha, after all~"

The child's words were cut short as the teacher blew away the fog. The children stared with their mouths agape at Bing San, who was standing in place, his body flushed red from the heat, while Uchiha Feng lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Bing San flicked his collar, the slight pain making him feel refreshed all over.

Bing San extended his hand and said, "Sorry, Feng, I won!"

Uchiha Feng slapped Bing San's hand away with a snap and gritted his teeth, preparing to get up. At this moment, Hyuga Kyuya pulled Uchiha Feng up and said to Bing San, "You're very good! Do you want to join us?"

Bing San shook his head slightly. The group of children finally reacted and shouted loudly, "Big Brother Leader, Big Head Brother!"

Bing San stood awkwardly in the center of the field. He really didn't want this title!
