Ninja Academy

The morning sun rose, and everyone was already starting a new day.

Uchiha Qingcheng suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the increased Chakra capacity within him. He said with great satisfaction, "After cultivating all night, my Chakra capacity has reached that of a high-level Chunin. It will only get stronger from now on."

After a night of training, Qingcheng's Genjutsu had also improved a level. He could now typically ensnare enemies within five seconds. He had also learned an additional Genjutsu, Heaven and Earth Reversal, which could disorient enemies and quickly draw them into a dream.

Sasuke, ready for school, looked at Qingcheng, who was seeing him off, and greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, Brother Qingcheng."

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Let's go, Sasuke. Did you bring your lunch for noon?"

Sasuke nodded, then replied with a look of confusion, "I brought lunch, but Brother Qingcheng, is it really okay for me to wear this outfit?"

Sasuke was wearing a small white cape with the Uchiha Clan symbol on it, accompanied by large characters that read: "Konoha's Strongest Fire Release Clan, Uchiha's Number One Genius, Sasuke."

Qingcheng said with a serious expression, "It's very cool. Remember to get first place in the next exam to bring honor to our Uchiha Clan."

This outfit is indeed cool, but those words are quite eye-catching. However, if Sasuke attracts the attention of Konoha's higher-ups, I can secretly do big things.

Qingcheng then mused, Sasuke, on the other hand, won't be assassinated. He can even be a bit more flamboyant.

Sasuke nodded, saying with determination, "I understand, Big Brother Qingcheng. The glory of the Uchiha Clan rests on my shoulders."

Qingcheng said with an approving look, "Sasuke, shout out our Uchiha Clan's slogan!"

Sasuke's face instantly darkened, and he said awkwardly, "My shy slogan... can I not shout it?"

Qingcheng shook his head and said seriously, "Those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. You're so young, and you're already shy about shouting a slogan. How will you defeat that man later?"

Sasuke shouted awkwardly, "Where Konoha's leaves dance, the Uchiha flourish endlessly! Our Uchiha Clan will once again light up the myriad lights of Konoha! This is the dream of our new generation of Uchiha!"

Qingcheng praised him, "If anyone asks you what your dream is, just shout it like that. Let them hear the dream of our new generation of Uchiha!"

Qingcheng knew very well that the Third Hokage wanted to see an Uchiha who was obedient to the village and would fight for it in the future. If he wanted to live an easier life, he had to appear well-behaved on the surface.

The Anbu and Root ninja observing the Uchiha Clan from the rooftops were all shocked. The Anbu ninja exclaimed inwardly, He's incorporating the Will of Fire into his slogan and using it to restrain himself?

Qingcheng secretly thought to himself, Lighting up the myriad lights means the Uchiha Clan will once again take control of Konoha. When I light those lights, it will be the day the Shimura Clan is annihilated. I will also suppress the Sarutobi Clan. I'll let you experience being intensely targeted. Let's see if you resist.

Qingcheng mused, Based on my calculations, Hiruzen Sarutobi has five more years to live. Orochimaru's Konoha Crush Plan... Hiruzen Sarutobi will use the Reaper Death Seal and only take one of Orochimaru's arms.

Qingcheng then thought, And that old beast Danzo Shimura has eleven more years to live. He even became the 5.5th Hokage, only to be killed by Sasuke in the end.

Qingcheng put on a pair of sunglasses and wore a black feathered divine robe. His 1.85-meter height, combined with the black feathered robe and fluffy center-parted hair, made him look quite striking.

Even Uchiha Yamafuku, who had been eating for half a lifetime, couldn't help but praise Qingcheng's appearance, "The Clan Head's appearance is already the most handsome in Konoha! Truly worthy of being from the Uchiha Clan!"

But then, Yamafuku's tone shifted, and he grumbled, "But he can't even mold Chakra. All his clan members were wiped out, and he didn't even activate a single tomoe Sharingan. It's truly a disgrace to the Uchiha Clan!"

Qingcheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, utterly speechless, "Uchiha Yamafuku, I earn 800,000 Ryo a month. Are you really going to badmouth your Clan Head like that? Do you have any family spirit? Will you respect your Clan Head?"

Upon hearing this, Yamafuku was very awkward, but looking at the money, he still smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Clan Head. Please send the Vice Clan Head to school as soon as possible. He's about to be late."

It must be said that ninja were quite professional. For example, Yamafuku was an ordinary Jonin, but when assigned a butler task, he still worked diligently.

Although his peers mocked him, saying, "He actually chose to join the Uchiha Clan, with a dead last as the Clan Head and a mentally incapacitated person as the Vice Clan Head! He changed his surname to Uchiha for 800,000 Ryo! Hahaha!"

The name "Uchiha" was now a derogatory term. Insulting someone by saying "Your whole family is Uchiha" meant they were a dead last and mentally ill.

When Qingcheng put on his sunglasses and activated his two-tomoe Sharingan, scanning the sky above the houses, he saw eight masked ninja, also preparing to follow him to school.

Qingcheng cursed inwardly, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are truly beasts. There are only two surviving Uchiha, and they still aren't letting down their guard.

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Sasuke, let's go to the Ninja Academy." With that, he took Sasuke and left.

The village's Ninja Academy was not far from the Uchiha Clan's compound. It was just two streets away from the school's main gate.

If they were still at their old compound by the Naka River, it would be very far from the school, taking over half an hour to walk.

If there wasn't a barrier by the Naka River, given Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi's nature, they would have wanted to push the Uchiha Clan even further away, preferably to a latrine, to marginalize them even more and make their extermination easier.

Sasuke saw the passing ninja all staring at Uchiha Qingcheng with mocking looks. Sasuke instantly became enraged and shouted angrily, "How dare you look down on my brother? My brother is the Uchiha Clan Head!"

The ninja all chuckled, "Oh, how impressive the Uchiha Clan is! Now even a dead last can become the Uchiha Clan Head. I guess there's really no one left."

Qingcheng looked at the man with the most lewd smile and said mockingly, "Whose dog are you? Did you eat the Shimura Clan's dog food? Your master hasn't even called, and you're already barking. Is your dog's mouth itching?"

The lewd man, hearing such sharp words, instantly flew into a rage and shouted angrily, "You dead last, how dare you mock me? Are you tired of living?"

Qingcheng burst out laughing, smiling as he said, "Come and hit me! This is a school, and soon there will be a lot of onlookers. The more expensive the compensation I demand, don't you think your master will have to pay me a lot?"

Qingcheng secretly thought, This lewd ninja is wearing a Chunin vest, so he's probably just a nobody. His constant provocation is just to vent for his old master and curry favor with Shimura Min and the others.

The commotion at the school gate attracted many onlookers, including the Konoha 12 Genin.

Naruto, wearing goggles, said in surprise, "That big brother with the sunglasses is so cool! But the one next to him is arrogant Sasuke."

And Sakura, with her wide forehead, looked at Sasuke with concern, thinking, That lewd ninja is such a jerk! How dare he bully such a handsome big brother!

The lewd man, now completely enraged, said furiously, "Uchiha Qingcheng, don't get cocky! We'll see! I will make sure your Uchiha Clan is wiped out!"

Qingcheng watched as the ninja began to get angry. Under his sunglasses, his Sharingan rotated, two black tomoe spinning continuously in his eye sockets.

Qingcheng then shouted, "Sharingan! Genjutsu activate!"
