"It's really lively," Rin Nohara said, looking around and sighing.

Both sides of the road were filled with students heading to the Ninja Academy to report, including both returning students and new ones.

"We're in our second year now. When the first-year new students see us, shouldn't they call us seniors?" Yuhi Kurenai suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up as she asked.

Hikawa was too strong; she had already given up on making him her subordinate, but the first-year new students could let her experience being a big sister.

"Logically, yes," Rin Nohara nodded and added, "I wonder if there are any impressive new students this year."

"Yes!" Obito Uchiha seized the opportunity, squeezed next to her, and said, "Uchiha Tekka! He's a genius no less than me!"

A subtle expression appeared on Rin Nohara's face.

A genius no less than you? Is that even a genius?

"How does he compare to Kakashi?" Rin Nohara thought for a moment and asked.

She had originally wanted to compare him to Hikawa, but that would be too unfair, so she switched to Hatake Kakashi.

"This... probably about the same, I guess," Obito Uchiha said uncertainly.

"Definitely not as good!" Yuhi Kurenai lifted her chin slightly, saying proudly, "Hikawa can take on ten at once!"

Hatake Kakashi glanced at her.

Rin was clearly talking about me!

But thinking of his recent crushing defeat, his lips moved slightly, and he fell silent.

Hikawa, multitasking, listened to the pretty little loli's praise and couldn't help but smile.

He was looking at the newly acquired entries, which were the three entries required to synthesize the B-Rank entry 'Signless Healing'.

What Hikawa liked most about the system was that it wasn't a riddle-maker; the conditions for triggering the three entries were all clearly marked.

Among them, the C-Rank entry 'Medical Chunin' and the C-Rank entry 'Strong and Robust' were the simplest.

The former only required him to continue learning medical ninjutsu.

The latter was similar to the E-Rank entry 'Strong Physique', requiring his physical strength to reach the excellent level of a Chunin.

For the past two months, Hikawa had been training using the method on the Lightning Release Chakra Mode scroll.

Therefore, the C-Rank Entry 'Strong and Robust' progress bar has reached 10%.

And the C-Rank Entry 'Swift as the Wind' is the most troublesome.

It's a composite entry, requiring the addition of the E-Rank Entry Body Flicker Technique, the D-Rank Entry Swordsmanship Genin, and the D-Rank Entry Wind Release Genin.

"Stop!"

As soon as the five of them reached the school entrance, they were stopped.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a black-haired little boy.

He wore a black outer garment, hands in his pockets, looking arrogant and quite haughty.

"It's you, Tekka."

Obito Uchiha recognized him.

Hikawa thought for a moment and remembered who Uchiha Tekka was.

In the original story, he was a Jōnin of the Uchiha Clan and possessed the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

His only appearance was after Uchiha Shisui's suicide, when he, along with Uchiha Inabi and Uchiha Yashiro, went to question Uchiha Itachi.

"Who are you?"

Uchiha Tekka looked him up and down and asked.

"Obito Uchiha!"

Obito Uchiha's expression froze, then he said frantically, "Today's juniors are too impolite! You should call me senior!"

"So it's you."

Uchiha Tekka snorted coldly and said, "You dead last, you're simply a disgrace to our Uchiha!"

"What did you say?!"

Obito Uchiha glared angrily.

"Isn't it true?"

Uchiha Tekka said without fear, "Every year, the Uchiha who enroll are definitely in the top three. You are the only exception."

"I... I... I was letting them!"

Obito Uchiha was a bit embarrassed, but he didn't lose his momentum verbally.

What Uchiha Tekka said was indeed the truth.

Because of his dead last results, he was not well-regarded among the younger generation of the Uchiha.

"Only the weak need excuses."

Uchiha Tekka couldn't be bothered with him and asked, "Who is Hikawa?"

"What do you want with him?"

Obito Uchiha glanced at Rin Nohara, patted his chest, and said, "Whatever it is, I'll handle it!"

"You can't do it."

Uchiha Tekka shook his head and said impolitely, "I'm going to challenge him and take back the Uchiha's number one spot."

"Damn it!"

Obito Uchiha's body trembled with anger.

Is being number one so great?!

Why is everyone looking for Hikawa?

"Go, Kakashi."

Hikawa paused and said, "Don't waste too much time."

"...?"

A question mark appeared on Hatake Kakashi's small face.

Am I some kind of summoning beast?

"You can't beat him?"

Hikawa blinked and asked back.

"It's as easy as turning over my hand."

Hatake Kakashi said in a deep voice.

"Arrogant!"

Uchiha Tekka reacted and said angrily.

"You're too noisy."

Hatake Kakashi drew his short sword, and his body instantly disappeared.

As soon as Uchiha Tekka's body moved, he felt a chill coming from his neck.

He subconsciously lowered his head and saw the short sword pressed against his skin, with a faint stinging sensation.

Hatake Kakashi used a normal attack, and the effect was outstanding.

"H-how is that possible?"

Cold sweat dripped down Uchiha Tekka's forehead.

"You're not much better than Obito."

Hatake Kakashi commented.

"Kakashi!"

Obito Uchiha asked with red eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Nothing."

Hatake Kakashi withdrew his sword and said calmly.

"Once I awaken my eyes, you'll all lose!"

Obito Uchiha said through gritted teeth.

"Me too!"

Uchiha Tekka, as if reminded, swept away his dejection and said.

"Let's go."

Hikawa walked past him and entered the school.

"Are the Uchiha always this brave?"

Yuhi Kurenai followed him, asking in a low voice.

"Just don't play with them."

Hikawa said casually.

The Uchiha are all crazy.

And being friends with them makes it easy to be used as material for awakening their eyes.

"Okay."

Yuhi Kurenai nodded, glanced at him, her face slightly red, and said, "I'll play with you."

Hikawa was slightly stunned.

Children in the Ninja World are indeed precocious.

But... it wasn't just Yuhi Kurenai who had ulterior motives for him.

"Hikawa-kun!"

"You're even more handsome after two months!"

"Hikawa-kun looked at me! Ahhh!"

As soon as Hikawa entered the classroom, he received a warm welcome.

Especially the girls, who waved at him one after another, so excited they couldn't keep their legs together.

Yuhi Kurenai snorted softly and stood in front of Hikawa.

Rin Nohara subconsciously glanced over, feeling a strange sense of envy.

"Evil Hikawa brat!"

Sarutobi Asuma's mouth twitched, staring intently at Hikawa.

Hikawa noticed his gaze and thought to himself, wondering if his strength had reached the Chunin level.

According to his estimation, for his Wind Release talent to increase further, Sarutobi Asuma would probably need to reach the Chunin level.

It was quite difficult.

Hikawa also thought of his D-Rank Entry 'Wind Release Genin', which required him to learn three Wind Style Ninjutsu to trigger.

But Tsunade wasn't a Wind Release ninja.

Perhaps... he could find Sarutobi Asuma.

Hikawa returned to his seat, pondering how to utilize this tool.

Something came up today, so it's a bit late. There's still one more chapter.
