What kind of emotional intelligence do you have, you little brat?

The Ninja Academy is located in the center of Konoha, surrounded by a bustling crowd.

At this moment, in front of the academy gates, a long line of male students is forming, everyone rubbing their hands and eager to give it a go.

They wear uniform ninja attire, their faces glowing with the vitality of youth, their eyes sparkling with curiosity and longing for the unknown world.

"Damn it, don't shove me! Let me go up and introduce myself!" a burly boy shouts, trying to squeeze to the front of the crowd.

"Don't rush, don't rush, everyone will have a turn," a scrawny boy beside him says with a grin, seemingly long accustomed to such scenes.

Uchiha Ruri, standing at the podium, never expected to be so popular, attracting so many male students to introduce themselves.

It is clear that the appearance of Uchiha Ruri has caused quite a sensation among the boys.

They widen their eyes one after another, as if they have just seen a fairy descend from the heavens.

"Teacher Ruri, look at me, look at me!"

The boys scramble to the front, hoping to catch Uchiha Ruri's attention.

Uchiha Ruri merely offers a faint smile, as if she has long been used to this. She walks to the front of the line and says softly, "Everyone, don't be so anxious. One by one, there is no need to crowd. That student there, come and introduce yourself."

No sooner has she finished speaking than a burly boy steps out, unable to contain his excitement.

He holds his head high and chest out, shouting, "My name is Great Strength King, and I come from a ninja clan in the Land of Fire. I possess immense strength and excel in taijutsu. I hope to make many like-minded friends here!"

As soon as Great Strength King finishes, he is met with a round of applause and cheers.

Following him, one boy after another steps forward; some are humorous and witty, making everyone burst into laughter, while others are serious and professional, showcasing their expertise. The entire scene is both lively and heartwarming, like a gathering of a big family.

Among these boys, the rest of the Konoha Twelve also step forward one by one to introduce themselves.

When the last of the Konoha Twelve finishes their introduction, Uchiha Ruri nods with a smile and says, "You are all very outstanding. Teacher Ruri is now familiar with your names, which will make teaching much better in the future."

That is correct. Looking out, the only ones Uchiha Ruri is familiar with are the other members of the Konoha Twelve; the other students are like passing clouds, leaving no deep impression in her heart, so there is no need for her to deliberately remember them.

In Konoha, the Konoha Twelve are well-known as the cream of the crop among the younger generation. Each of them possesses unique talent and strength, gradually coming to the fore through constant training and experience. As one of them, Uchiha Ruri has weathered many storms alongside them and has a deep understanding of their personalities and abilities.

However, beyond the Konoha Twelve, there are many other students in Konoha. They may have their own dreams and pursuits, but in the eyes of Uchiha Ruri, they appear so unfamiliar and ordinary.

After the last person finishes their introduction, the time for class is up, and Uchiha Ruri says a few words to everyone.

Uchiha Ruri walks gently off the podium to interact with the students, like a flower swaying in a light breeze, giving off a kind and warm feeling.

Every corner of the Konoha ninja classroom bears the gentle traces of her footsteps.

She walks and observes, stopping from time to time to sit in a circle with a group of students, their laughter rising and falling.

Uchiha Ruri's smile is like the spring sunshine, warm and bright, making every student feel involuntarily drawn to her.

Suddenly, a boy gathers his courage and asks a question about her identity: "Teacher, are you from the Uchiha Clan?"

This question immediately draws the attention of the surrounding students, and everyone looks at Uchiha Ruri with curiosity.

Uchiha Ruri smiles slightly, nods, and says, "Yes, I am from the Uchiha Clan."

Her voice is soft and pleasant, like a babbling brook, making one feel relaxed and happy.

But in reality, a vein pops on her forehead. The entire village of Konoha knows about the clan's annihilation; this kid is still asking this question—is he even polite?

The boy seems a bit surprised, then asks curiously, "Then Teacher, do you also possess the dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan?"

His words are filled with longing and curiosity for the mysterious dojutsu.

Uchiha Ruri blinks and says mysteriously, "Shh—that's a secret! However, I can tell you that the dojutsu of the Uchiha Clan is indeed very powerful, but it is not something everyone can easily master."

Her words reveal a faint sense of mystery. Fortunately, this student did not ask about the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan; his emotional intelligence is passable.

At this moment, another student asks curiously, "Teacher, what is Uchiha Sasuke to you? You both seem to be Uchiha, right?"

Uchiha Ruri smiles gently, but a few vein symbols appear on her forehead without her realizing it, as if she is slightly angry about something.

This makes the students feel a bit surprised, because in their eyes, Uchiha Ruri has always been that gentle, considerate, and understanding teacher.

She rubs her forehead lightly, trying to calm her emotions, not wanting this small episode to affect her pleasant interaction with the students.

However, a ripple cannot help but stir in her heart, as if something is making her feel somewhat dissatisfied.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" A perceptive girl notices Uchiha Ruri's abnormality and asks with concern.

Uchiha Ruri shakes her head gently and says with a smile, "It's nothing, just thought of some unhappy things."

She does not want her emotions to affect the students, so she changes the subject and continues to share interesting stories with them.

Uchiha Sasuke has always admired his sister; she is not only smart and beautiful but also kind-hearted, always treating everyone with such gentleness.

In Uchiha Sasuke's heart, his sister is the person closest to him in the village and the strongest backing on his path of growth.

However, watching his sister mingle with those kids who seem somewhat boring to him, Uchiha Sasuke's mood is a bit complicated.

He is not jealous that his sister is loved by the students, but he does not quite understand it.

In his view, these children are too immature; their world is filled with boring laughter and play, far removed from the strength and power he pursues.

Uchiha Sasuke longs to become a powerful ninja, to avenge his clan, and to pursue power, rather than laughing and playing with these children.

However, he also understands his sister's approach. Since the clan was wiped out, she has been teaching these young people in her own way, letting them feel the gentleness held by the Uchiha Clan.

Walking through the streets of Konoha, Sasuke's gaze swept occasionally over the villagers hurrying past.

He noticed that when some villagers' eyes touched upon his Uchiha Clan crest, they immediately turned cold, even tinged with a hint of hostility. They deliberately avoided Sasuke, their faces etched with disdain and rejection.

Sasuke had long since grown accustomed to these subtle reactions. As a member of the Uchiha Clan, he knew well that this family was not always welcomed in the village.

Some held prejudices against the Uchiha Clan due to the shadows of the past, viewing them as a potential threat. These biases and misunderstandings made Sasuke always carry a hint of wariness when interacting with others.

However, whenever he saw the smile and heard the gentle words of his sister, Liuli, the gloom in his heart would dissipate significantly.

Watching his sister get along so well with those children, Sasuke's heart was filled with admiration and gratitude; he also knew that this group of children must have heard the news from their parents about the Uchiha Clan being wiped out.

He knew that his sister was using her own way to protect the last remaining honor of this family.

Sasuke sighed softly, his feelings for his sister becoming even more complex.

He admired her kindness and gentleness, yet he also hoped that he could be like her, using his own strength to protect those in need.

But at the same time, he did not want to abandon the strength and power he pursued, nor did he want to become as weak and powerless as those children.

Just then, Liuli suddenly turned her head and saw Sasuke sitting by the window.

Liuli smiled and nodded at him.

A moment later, the class bell rang, its crisp and loud sound echoing through the corridors of the Ninja Academy.

This period was a practical combat class, teaching students how to utilize chakra.
