From Today On, I'm the Class Monitor

On the first day of school, I was late because of a fight.

Then, I was delayed further while getting treated at the infirmary.

By the time Uchiha Ruohuo and Obito arrived at the classroom, the bell for the fourth period had already rung.

The substitute teacher in charge was none other than the one who had escorted the two of us to the school infirmary.

Ruohuo and Obito followed the teacher up to the podium.

Because the teacher had arrived late and the first-year students at the Ninja Academy were all just little kids, the classroom was in complete chaos.

The young teacher lacked experience—or perhaps it was because he wasn't wearing his official vest—and he shouted "Quiet!" several times, but it clearly had no effect.

Ruohuo frowned.

We Uchiha find this kind of chaotic scene the most repulsive.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Ruohuo slammed his palm onto the podium.

The effect of that shout was truly remarkable; the classroom went silent instantly, and even the teacher standing beside me was startled!

Ruohuo scanned the room, his gaze lingering for half a second longer on a few "acquaintances."

Especially that white-haired kid.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Uchiha Ruohuo, and this is my younger brother, Uchiha Obito."

"We both come from the oldest ninja clan in the ninja world: the Uchiha Clan!"

Obito straightened his back instantly!

"My apologies."

Ruohuo suddenly said.

The sudden apology filled the students' eyes with confusion, and even the teacher beside me was a bit bewildered.

This guy is the type who actually apologizes?

"I am deeply pained..."

"Because on the way to school today, I encountered a few bastards bullying a classmate. I sent them to the hospital, which caused us to be late."

"Being late is wrong, but Teacher Oki praised me."

Ignoring the strange expression on the teacher's face, Ruohuo said earnestly.

"He even asked me to act as the class monitor!"

Senior Oki didn't say that!

He absolutely didn't!

The substitute teacher's eye twitched as he screamed internally!

But he didn't dare to say a single word...

"School violence is not permitted. We, the Uchiha Clan, hate evil with a passion and cannot stand the sight of people bullying others!"

"From today on, if any of you are threatened, please make sure to tell me immediately!"

Ruohuo waved his hand grandly, "As your class monitor, I will carry out justice to the end and protect the safety of my classmates!"

This impassioned speech instantly won over all the elementary students in the class.

Especially the girls.

It was definitely not because Ruohuo was too handsome; they just really loved a class monitor who was willing to protect his classmates!

Consequently, many students joined in the cheering: "Monitor! Monitor! Monitor!"

What kind of monitor is he?!

The substitute teacher was going crazy. He beat people until they were hospitalized and threatened Teacher Oki and me... three times in total!

Don't the students realize he's stolen my authority?

"Quiet down, everyone!"

Ruohuo pressed his hands downward.

Many students had already accepted this class monitor, especially the girls, and the classroom gradually quieted down.

"Teacher Oki asked me to arrange the seating."

"I ask for your cooperation; after all, this is my first task as class monitor."

Ruohuo spoke with a feigned air of seriousness, then pointed at a male student.

"That student there, yes, you, little four-eyes. You're so young and already nearsighted; what will you do once you become a ninja?"

"You need to protect your vision at school and try to adjust it before graduation... Come sit in the front; there are empty seats here."

The little four-eyes who was called out stood up immediately and walked to the front, fully cooperative.

"Obito, you go over there."

Ruohuo said, pointing in the direction of Rin Nohara.

Although she wasn't the type Ruohuo preferred, Rin Nohara was quite kind-hearted.

She would be perfect for helping Obito awaken his eyes...

Uchiha Madara's plan was far too evil, but the results were effective and the direction was correct.

Ruohuo had a brand-new version of an eye-awakening plan.

One dark and windy night in the future, a perfect night for murder and arson.

Obito would return home to see Rin Nohara held in his own brother's arms, disheveled and unconscious.

"My foolish little brother, this girl... is truly succulent!"

Hiss--

Wouldn't that trigger a Mangekyo on the spot?

Obito trotted over and sat down next to Rin Nohara.

Rin Nohara just shifted her position slightly and gave Obito a smile, and Obito immediately couldn't handle it.

His little face turned bright red, and every single hair on his spiky head seemed to be blushing.

"Hello, Obito-kun, my name is Rin Nohara, please take care of me."

"H-hello..."

Obito sat down, shy and bashful.

Ruohuo raised an eyebrow.

He had given his foolish little brother a treat, so now it was his turn.

Although they were all elementary schoolers, Ruohuo wasn't that much of a beast.

But a girlfriend you raise yourself seemed to have its merits...

Ruohuo was a decent man.

A decent man, naturally, wouldn't let a cute girl become a widow.

And to be pregnant before marriage, that was simply immoral.

Then, I choose you...

"That guy who looks just like the Third, spit out the toothpick in your mouth first!"

"If you dare to chew on a toothpick now, you'll be smoking cigarettes later!"

"Smoking in a public place, do you have no sense of civic duty!?"

Konoha Hospital.

Teacher Aoba Oki didn't yet know that his class had already been molded into Ruohuo's image.

By the time he arrived, the corridor was already packed with members of the Hyuga clan.

The man at the lead, though young, possessed an extraordinary aura; he stood there quietly, yet radiated the presence of someone in a position of power.

This must be the newly succeeded head of the Hyuga clan.

Teacher Oki's headache worsened. How did even this person get involved?

But since things had reached this point, he could only bite the bullet and go to negotiate.

However, before he could even get close, Teacher Oki was stopped by two Hyuga guards.

"Who goes there!"

"Uh... I am Aoba Oki, a teacher at the Ninja Academy, and the instructor for those children..."

The attitude of the two Hyuga was a bit too aggressive, which made Teacher Oki feel somewhat displeased, but he could only swallow it...

The Hyuga, after all, were a super-prominent clan in Konoha.

"Let him come over."

At this moment, Hyuga Hiashi, standing not far away, spoke calmly.

Only then did the two Hyuga let him pass.

This is a hospital, not your Hyuga clan estate!

If you're so capable, why don't you stop the doctors from coming too!

Teacher Oki grumbled inwardly, but he walked up anyway.

To be fair, the reputation of the Hyuga clan wasn't actually that bad.

But thanks to a certain new student, Teacher Oki's day hadn't been going smoothly, so his mood wasn't very good either...

"I am Hyuga Hiashi, the clan head of these children."

Once Oki approached, Hyuga Hiashi spoke.

"I have already roughly understood the situation... It was these children who provoked the conflict first, were inferior in skill, and were then sent to the hospital by the other party."

"This is a lapse in discipline within my Hyuga clan."

Hyuga Hiashi paused, "I must trouble you to convey my gratitude to those two children."

"If they hadn't rushed the others to the hospital in time, these children might have lost their eligibility to become ninjas forever..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Hyuga member standing nearby immediately stepped forward and produced an envelope stuffed with banknotes.

Judging by the thickness, it was quite a substantial amount.

"However, these children likely won't be returning to the Ninja Academy for the time being."

"Once their injuries have healed, they will require a certain amount of special training to reclaim their lost dignity."

"I am informing you of this today, and I would appreciate it if you could pass this message along as well."

With that, Hyuga Hiashi walked past Oki.

The group of Hyuga members followed him away.

Oki looked at the envelope in his hand, his brow slowly furrowing.

Having taught for many years, he was well-acquainted with the ways of these great clans.

The one thing they could never tolerate was their family dignity being challenged.

"Special training after recovering from their injuries, huh..."

Looking at the tightly shut hospital room door, Oki sighed, feeling that for these children...

It was all a bit too cruel.

Then again, the larger the clan, the more heartless they were.

By comparison.

That troublesome pair of Uchiha brothers actually seemed...

"Tsk!" Oki shook his head.

He must have been truly furious to actually think those two brothers were decent.

Decent, my foot!

He needed to get back to the academy quickly...

But... those two brothers probably didn't have any lunch, did they?

Forget it, forget it, he might as well bring them a meal; after all, they were at an age where they were still growing.

He hoped that after eating the food their teacher brought, they would behave themselves a bit more in the future! Brats!
