Sage Body

Uchiha Matsuzaki's lips twitched slightly when he heard what Chestnut Snow had just said. This girl's no simple person!

After exchanging a few words, the two of them went to the stands to watch the matches that followed.

Compared with Uchiha Matsuzaki's fight, the remaining matches really did look like children squabbling.

"Matsuzaki, come clean. You were home all those days—what did you do to train? How did you get so much stronger?"

Yamamoto Takeshi turned to Uchiha Matsuzaki and asked quietly.

Uchiha Matsuzaki shook his head. "I didn't train deliberately. I just went for runs and wandered around some places now and then. That's really all."

Anyone who heard Uchiha Matsuzaki's answer would think he was just brushing them off. But there was nothing they could do. If he wouldn't say, they couldn't force him to.

"Fine, fine. If you won't tell me, there's nothing I can do. But congratulations anyway—you finally got your revenge." Yamamoto Takeshi sighed.

Uchiha Matsuzaki could only shake his head helplessly. Everything he'd said was true. After all, he signed in at a different place each time, and signing in somewhere granted him a corresponding boost in strength.

But he was the only one who could improve his strength this way.

After an hour of matches, the entire class had finally finished fighting. The teacher then divided everyone into several groups, putting students of similar strength together.

Uchiha Matsuzaki and Chestnut Snow were in the same group, and he had been made its leader.

When they returned to the classroom, the members of Uchiha Matsuzaki's group all crowded around him.

His fight had been enough to earn their respect.

Although the fight had washed away his past humiliation, it had also brought him some trouble.

His group members kept hovering around him, asking what his secret to success was and how he'd gone from being so weak to suddenly becoming so strong.

Uchiha Matsuzaki kept fobbing them off. He couldn't let anyone discover his sign-in system.

"How does it feel?" Chestnut Snow asked.

Uchiha Matsuzaki looked puzzled. "How does what feel?"

"Being a big star, of course! That fight today made you the talk of the class."

Chestnut Snow said with a smile.

"I thought you meant something else. Obviously, I don't like it. The people in our group keep hounding me with questions. It's really confusing."

Uchiha Matsuzaki shook his head helplessly.

Chestnut Snow just smiled and didn't reply.

Just then, Uchiha Matsuzaki remembered that he'd received a reward for signing in that day. The circumstances had been unusual, so he hadn't had a chance to check it.

"This is Sage Body?"

"With this kind of body, you can rival Tailed Beast Chakra. You also have an astonishing ability to recover, and your physical strength and stamina become extraordinary."

So that explains what happened earlier.

Uchiha Matsuzaki thought to himself.

After the match, he hadn't felt particularly tired, and he'd recovered completely in a short time. It seemed that the Sage Body was responsible for it all.

Once he understood what was going on, he realized that his body already held energy beyond that of an ordinary person.

Gaining the Sage Body had once again greatly increased his strength.
