An Evil-Natured Clan, But the Hyuga

"Hmm, it's still a comminuted fracture, but much more severe than last time. Fortunately, the doctor responsible for the treatment this time trained under Lady Tsunade, so the child's injuries were healed smoothly."

In the ward, the doctor explained the child's condition to Uchiha Yaowang's parents, who had rushed over.

"Will it affect his future fertility? After all, the child's... has been broken twice now..." Yaowang's mother said with some worry.

While they were discussing the injuries, Uchiha Wada also arrived at the hospital and saw Fugaku at the main entrance.

"Fugaku, look! Because of your concessions, the Uchiha clan has once again been stepped on! What is the Hyuga clan? How dare they treat our junior like this?!"

Without even asking what happened, Uchiha Wada began to reprimand Fugaku as soon as he saw him. His arrogant attitude greatly displeased Uchiha Yashiro and others behind Fugaku.

"Uncle Wada, after this incident happened, Yashiro immediately took people to the scene. After investigation, it was indeed a Hyuga kid who accidentally did it during an exercise. This has also been confirmed by the Hyuga clan."

As the clan head, Fugaku was also displeased with Wada's attitude, but he still had to maintain appearances. He suppressed his anger and explained to Wada in a gentle tone.

"The Hyuga clan is an inherently evil clan and has always harbored hostility towards us Uchiha. How could it have been an accident?!"

Wada completely ignored Fugaku's explanation, determined to make the Hyuga clan pay.

"The Third Hokage has already ruled on this matter. It was a dereliction of duty by the school teachers. He will personally come to apologize to Yaowang's parents later. Besides, don't our clan schools sometimes have situations where children injure each other due to carelessness?"

Seeing Wada's almost unreasonable attitude, Fugaku's tone immediately became stern.

Upon hearing that the Third Hokage would personally apologize, Wada's imposing manner faltered slightly, but he still stubbornly argued, "The clan schools don't hit that accurately. Even among ninjas, I've never heard of anyone's... being hit twice so severely. If you ask me, this must have been deliberately orchestrated by a Shimura brat colluding with a Hyuga brat."

"There are always unexpected things happening in the ninja world. Just like no one would have expected the Second Hokage to die during peace talks with Kumogakure. Life is unpredictable, and some things are very likely coincidences, Uncle Wada."

Although Fugaku inwardly believed it was unlikely to be such a coincidence, Yashiro was a subordinate he trusted. Since he hadn't found any results, it proved that things were indeed as the Third Hokage said, a coincidence.

"Hmph, believe what you want!"

Seeing that Fugaku had no intention of pursuing the matter further, Wada threw down this sentence and left in anger.

"Sigh..." Fugaku sighed helplessly as he watched Wada's retreating figure. He adjusted his mindset and turned towards the ward, preparing to inform Yaowang's parents of the situation.

Compared to the unreasonable Wada, Yaowang's parents, although they had complaints, accepted Fugaku's explanation. They asked him to pass on a message to the Third Hokage that a personal apology was unnecessary; as long as the school could prevent such incidents in the future, it would be sufficient.

"In conclusion, this matter is now closed. The exercise will be postponed until next week, and the team assignments will remain unchanged." Makoto Ito, deeply moved by the Third Hokage's words, wiped away his tears and announced the news as he entered the classroom.

Hearing that the exercise would continue next week, Class 2 was fine, but Class 3, especially the boys, let out groans of despair.

The entire Ninja Academy now knew that Class 2 had a terrifying Ball Buster Kid who could cripple someone's... from a hundred meters away. How could the Class 3 boys, who had witnessed Yaowang's miserable state, accept this?

However, upon hearing that the original team assignments would remain unchanged and that the first group would no longer participate in this exercise, the boys collectively relaxed their clenched legs.

As long as they didn't have to face that Ball Buster Kid.

Hmph, maybe they could even defeat that so-called genius Kakashi and Kazashiro.

The ninja world was too unfair. It was one thing for those two to be called geniuses, but they were also so good-looking that the girls in the class paid attention to them every day, completely ignoring them.

They must be taught a lesson, especially that cute face, they would stomp on it fiercely!

The sky cleared, the rain stopped. Knowing that Iroha Hyuga would not participate in the fight, the Class 3 boys felt confident again.

"Let's go, Ball Buster Kid, let's go eat dango together." As school ended, Kazashiro, an important figure in his group, invited Iroha Hyuga as they headed to the dango shop.

"Who are you calling Ball Buster Kid? Get lost!" Iroha Hyuga, who usually had good manners, swore for the first time, showing how furious he was at the moment.

"Tsk tsk tsk, can't even take a joke. Look at Obito, I torment him every day, but he's not as hostile as you," Kazashiro said, pointing at Obito, who looked somewhat innocent, not far away.

"Heh, if Obito could beat you, he would have already pinned you to the ground and thrashed you," Iroha Hyuga rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Thanks to you, the whole school now knows I'm the Ball Buster Kid. Are you satisfied, young master Shimura?"

At this moment, Iroha Hyuga had no idea that his reputation had already spread throughout the entire village.

Otherwise, he would have rushed forward and bitten Kazashiro to death.

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to dango. Consider it my apology?" Kazashiro, acting familiar, slung an arm around him and forcibly dragged him out the door.

And so, under Kazashiro's persistent pestering, Iroha Hyuga followed them to the dango shop.

"Auntie, the usual, plus an extra portion. I'm treating today," Kazashiro called out loudly to the proprietress upon arriving at the dango shop, emphasizing that he was treating.

"Oh, it's Kazashiro! Sit down, you've brought a new companion today," the proprietress said with a smile as she greeted Kazashiro, noticing Iroha Hyuga beside him.

She gave him a friendly smile before turning back to her work.

"Kid, move aside, this is my seat." Seeing Iroha Hyuga instinctively about to sit next to Kazashiro, Anko quickly pushed him aside and took the seat herself.

"Tch, fine, who wants to fight you for it anyway," Iroha Hyuga grumbled softly. At Asuma's beckoning, he sat down next to Kakashi.

Hmm, a repressed type paired with a poker face. Perfect.

Looking at the two who didn't seem to talk much, Kazashiro smiled. Then, like usual, he chatted with Asuma and the others, exchanging gossip they had heard and occasionally sharing some cultivation insights.
