Did I enter the background character class?

Good heavens, another big shot!

Kumonaka Torikaze had assumed she was just an ordinary little girl from the Uchiha Clan, but he never expected it to be Izori Uchiha!

In that case, she must have already awakened her Sharingan, right? After all, she was the creator of the forbidden technique, Izanami!

If Itachi Uchiha hadn't used Izanami, the Fourth Great Ninja War would likely have claimed even more lives.

I wonder how many tomoe she has?

Izori Uchiha seemed to notice that Kumonaka Torikaze looked a bit surprised, so she asked, "What's wrong, classmate Torikaze? You seem a bit startled?"

Kumonaka Torikaze waved his hands repeatedly: "It's nothing, nothing at all. I just suddenly thought of something else."

Izori Uchiha smiled lightly: "I see. It seems classmate Torikaze's attention is quite scattered."

Being teased by a little girl, Kumonaka Torikaze felt a bit embarrassed.

After chatting for a few moments, the two began to busy themselves with their own affairs; after all, it was their first day meeting, and they weren't very familiar with each other yet.

A while later, Maruboshi Kosuke walked over with two boys in tow.

At first glance, Kumonaka Torikaze was given quite a shock!

He saw that the eyes of one of the boys behind Maruboshi Kosuke were actually bright red.

He initially thought this was someone from the Uchiha Clan, but after taking a closer look, he mostly guessed who this person was.

"Torikaze, I'm back. These two are my friends."

Kumonaka Torikaze stood up and said to the two of them: "Hello, my name is Kumonaka Torikaze."

Those two had heard from Maruboshi Kosuke that he was going to introduce them to the head of the Kumonaka Clan.

They had expected someone arrogant and haughty, so they were surprised to find him so humble and approachable.

Of course, they were also intimidated by Kumonaka Torikaze's reputation, assuming he was a young clan head from a major family.

In reality, he was just an orphan with a tiny bit of family wealth.

The ninjutsu scrolls in his home could probably wrap around Konoha if they were all laid out.

"Hello, I'm Umino Ikkaku. Please take care of me."

The other red-eyed boy also said: "I am Yuhi Shinku. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Sure enough! Within Konoha, aside from the Uchiha Clan.

Only Yuhi Shinku had red eyes—the master of genjutsu in Konoha!

It was said that his genjutsu couldn't even be reflected by the Mangekyō Sharingan, though this point remained to be verified.

In the end, he sacrificed himself during the Nine-Tails Incident to protect the younger generation.

As for the name Umino Ikkaku, Kumonaka Torikaze was no stranger to it either; he was the father of Umino Iruka!

Good grief, they're all famous people.

But why does it seem like they're all bit-part players? What kind of damn training camp for extras is this!

After getting to know each other and chatting for a while, it was time for class to begin.

A young man walked in from outside the door, and the students sat up straight as soon as they saw the teacher enter.

The teacher nodded with satisfaction: "First of all, I want to congratulate everyone. Being able to sit here means you all have the aptitude to be ninjas, and barring any accidents, you will surely become ninjas in the future."

He then began his self-introduction: "My name is Suiya Sarutobi, and I will be your teacher from now until you graduate."

"I am twenty-five years old, and this is my first time being a teacher. My strength is at an average level in the village, my hobby is exercise, and my dream is to cultivate students who can stand on their own."

"Next, please everyone introduce yourselves."

When the students heard the teacher say this, they were a bit shy at first, but gradually they all opened up.

They boldly spoke of their hobbies and dreams. Even if some dreams were unrealistic, it didn't matter; after all, childhood dreams are the purest.

Kumonaka Torikaze also listened very seriously to everyone's dreams.

Maruboshi Kosuke wanted to become a powerful ninja in the future, Yuhi Shinku wanted to become a genjutsu master, and Umino Ikkaku wanted to become a teacher.

"My name is Kyō Uchiha. I hate you bunch of weaklings. As a member of the Uchiha Clan, you aren't worthy of knowing my dream. That is all."

After saying this, he sat down on his own, a look of disdain on his face, as if he were looking at a group of insects.

With this one sentence, he offended every student in the entire class, and many glared at him with wide eyes.

But Kyō Uchiha acted as if it didn't matter, not even sparing them a glance.

"What a jerk, I'll definitely make you pay!"

"Mom was right, the Uchiha Clan are all arrogant and conceited people."

"Damn it! We're all students, what makes you so much nobler than anyone else!"

The students in the class vied to express their dissatisfaction, and they all moved away from that guy one after another.

As for Kyō Uchiha, he let out a cold snort; this was exactly what he wanted!

These commoners should all fear the prestige of the Uchiha Clan!

Izori Uchiha, sitting beside Kumonaka Torikaze, frowned slightly.

Clearly, she was somewhat displeased with Kyō Uchiha's remarks.

Soon, it was Izori Uchiha's turn to introduce herself: "Hello everyone, my name is Izori Uchiha, and my hobby is eating sweet foods."

"I don't have anything I dislike, and my dream is for there to be no war, so that the villagers and my clansmen can all live in peace."

Her manners were proper and her demeanor elegant, truly carrying the air of a young lady from a noble family.

With a gentle smile, she made everyone feel as if they were basking in a spring breeze.

At first, when everyone heard the name Izori Uchiha, they had looked over with annoyance.

But after hearing her self-introduction, they realized this girl did not seem to be the same type of person as Kyō Uchiha.

The gazes directed at Izori Uchiha became much kinder.

Kumonaka Torikaze was also somewhat surprised, though the point of his surprise was that Izori Uchiha's dream was actually somewhat similar to his own.

"Hello everyone, I am Kumonaka Torikaze. My hobbies are a peaceful life and peacefully counting money. I hate plans, and my dream is to live peacefully forever."

As Kumonaka Torikaze finished this self-introduction, the entire class was left somewhat stunned.

Hobbies of peacefully counting money? A dream of living peacefully forever?

What kind of nonsense is this! Can you be a bit more serious!

Beside Torikaze, Izori couldn't help it and let out a soft laugh; fortunately, no one noticed, or she would have lost her composure!

And it was precisely this self-introduction by Kumonaka Torikaze that earned him a nickname in class: Mr. Calm.

Hmm, very fitting.

"Haha, alright, alright, I know everyone's dreams now. I hope you can all achieve them in the future. Now, let's begin our lesson."

Afterward, Suiya Sarutobi explained the various rules of the academy and began the first lesson.

It mainly focused on the understanding of chakra and how to refine it.

In fact, this lesson could be said to be taught specifically for the commoners.

Families with even a little bit of background would have taught their children various basic knowledge about chakra long before they started school.

Most commoner parents were not ninjas, so they could only learn through the academy.

In the classroom, the commoner children listened intently to Suiya Sarutobi's lecture.

Only a few of those from clans were listening, while the rest were looking around.

Kumonaka Torikaze was exactly the type who was listening to the lecture.

Izori Uchiha whispered quietly: "Torikaze-san, you're listening so intently; have you never learned about chakra before?"
