"What? Is this your seat?"

Shen Ye was chatting with the little girl Mikoto when these boys suddenly ran over, which annoyed him.

These brats were interrupting his attempt to pick up girls!

"It isn't!"

Those few people said with extreme arrogance.

"If it isn't your seat, then what the hell are you chirping about? Go find somewhere cool to stay."

Shen Ye waved his hand in dissatisfaction, as if he were shooing away trash.

Those boys were instantly even more enraged!

This good-for-nothing kid actually didn't put them in his eyes!

Regardless of anything else, they were prospective genin who had studied at the Ninja Academy for quite a while. How dared this Shen Ye, who hadn't spent a single day in school, speak to them like that?

"Kid, I think you're looking for a beating!"

One of them glared, knitted his brows, and clenched his fist, ready to make a move.

Shen Ye also raised an eyebrow slightly; if the other party attacked, he wouldn't be polite either.

Swish!

At this moment, the classroom door suddenly opened.

A man wearing a chunin vest and looking rather approachable walked in and said, "Alright, class is starting. Everyone, return to your seats and stop making a scene."

This man was the teacher for this class, Umino Ikkaku!

He was also the father of Umino Iruka.

"Teacher Ikkaku?"

That boy had no choice but to lower his fist. He shot a cold glance at Shen Ye and said, "Consider yourself lucky! But kid, I'm warning you, this Miss Mikoto is the fiancée of our boss, Uchiha Fugaku! They are going to get married in the future! If a nobody like you dares to have designs on our sister-in-law, you're dead meat!"

After saying that, those boys glared at Shen Ye before obediently returning to their desks.

Shen Ye, on the other hand, curled his lips in indifference. If Mikoto weren't Uchiha Fugaku's wife, he wouldn't even be interested!

Who told that guy to be so vicious yesterday and even try to gouge out his eyes?

"Shen Ye, you're here!"

Umino Ikkaku spotted Shen Ye immediately. He had received news from the Third Hokage, so he recognized him.

He smiled faintly at Shen Ye and said, "Shen Ye, come over here for a moment."

"Alright, Teacher Ikkaku."

Shen Ye nodded obediently and walked over.

"Everyone, let me introduce our new student, Shen Ye! However, he doesn't know ninjutsu yet and hasn't spent a single day in the Ninja Academy, so everyone must take good care of this classmate from now on, understand?" Umino Ikkaku said to everyone with a warm smile.

"Don't worry, Teacher, we will definitely 'take good care' of this classmate!"

The few boys looked at Shen Ye viciously, deliberately emphasizing the words "take good care."

Shen Ye ignored them. After he returned to his seat, Umino Ikkaku began the lesson.

Umino Ikkaku was teaching basic ninja knowledge, such as reconnaissance, secret codes, and simple chakra application.

Most of what was taught at the Ninja Academy consisted of these things.

To accommodate Shen Ye, he even asked him several times if he understood, and if not, he would explain it in detail again.

However, Shen Ye was still completely confused!

He wasn't from this world to begin with, so he couldn't understand a lot of what was being said.

Forget it, I can steal other people's skills anyway, so why the hell should I learn this basic knowledge? Power is the absolute truth! Shen Ye simply stopped listening and slumped over on his desk.

"What's wrong? Are you not listening anymore?"

Mikoto tilted her head and asked Shen Ye.

"I don't understand it, and I don't want to listen."

Shen Ye sighed. Suddenly, his eyes darted around, and he looked at Mikoto with a grin. "Mikoto, why don't you teach me?"

"I teach you?"

Mikoto's face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you well."

"It's fine, I believe in you, Mikoto!"

Shen Ye grinned.

Mikoto looked at Shen Ye for a moment before nodding.

In any case, she understood these things in school after hearing them once, and she had learned quite a bit at home. She was only staying at the Ninja Academy now to wait for graduation.

Thus, Mikoto began to teach him patiently.

On the surface, Shen Ye pretended to be asking Mikoto for guidance, but secretly, he kept touching her. The cooldown for God Steal had already ended; if he could steal the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, that would be awesome!

However, facts proved that his current strength was too low, and the probability of a successful theft remained too slim.

In one class, he hadn't stolen a single ability, but he had certainly taken plenty of liberties with Mikoto!

He had left that little loli Mikoto blushing, so embarrassed she didn't know where to look.

The boys nearby watched, their eyes turning red with rage!

"This brat is nothing but a hooligan!"

"If it weren't for the fact that Boss Fugaku is already a Chunin and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to make a move, this guy would already be a corpse!"

"Let's teach this brat a lesson together after school!"

The boys discussed viciously.

By the end of the day, under Mikoto's tireless guidance, Shen Ye had managed to grasp a few things about the ninja world, such as controlling chakra; it hadn't been entirely useless.

At the very least, it would allow him to unleash his Strength of a Hundred more effectively.

"Thank you, little Mikoto," Shen Ye said, feeling grateful from the bottom of his heart.

"You're welcome."

Mikoto blushed and smiled faintly.

"See you tomorrow."

Shen Ye waved at Mikoto and left the Ninja Academy first.

In his heart, he couldn't wait to find a place to test his chakra control and unleash his Strength of a Hundred to see just how strong he really was.

"Hey, brat, stop right there!"

He hadn't walked far before a few boys called out to Shen Ye, looking fierce.

"What do you want?"

Shen Ye stopped.

"What do we want? You brat, you offended Big Sister Mikoto! You aren't going anywhere today!" The boys glared at Shen Ye, already preparing to strike.

"Get lost! Don't block my path, or I won't be polite to you."

Shen Ye said, feeling somewhat annoyed.

He couldn't be bothered to fight these little brats.

If he couldn't control his strength properly, it wouldn't be good if he ended up killing or crippling them.

"What did you say? You won't be polite to us?"

Hearing this, the boys burst into laughter.

This brat had just arrived at the school; he probably didn't even know how to control chakra, let alone use ninjutsu or even basic taijutsu! And he wanted to be impolite to them?

"Listen, kid, I'm not trying to show off, but I'll stand right here and let you punch me. If you can hurt me, not only will I let you go, but I'll call you 'Daddy'!"

One boy, a head taller than Shen Ye, looked at him with disdain.

He had joined the Ninja Academy the earliest and hung around with Fugaku, so his own abilities were quite decent!

In his eyes, Shen Ye, who had never attended the Ninja Academy, was no different from a newborn baby.

Never mind one punch, even if he let Shen Ye hit him ten times, he wouldn't be harmed in the slightest!

Shen Ye, however, just smiled.

He raised an eyebrow and looked at the boy. "Is that a promise?"
