You shouldn't provoke the Uchiha, little white hair!

"Wow! So much money!"

Noon, office.

Watching Obito acting like a total money-grubber, Ruohuo suddenly recalled a classic quote from Edison Chen.

"Back when I was in my teens or twenties, of course I thought I was cool. Wow, so much money, first I'll buy a Ferrari..."

Huh? Doesn't this give me a codename for when I join the Anbu later?

Please call me Konoha's Edison!

"This is what the Hyuga clan head asked me to pass on to you, as a thank you for taking the person to the hospital."

Teacher Oki also handed two bowls of ramen to Ruohuo. "This is lunch for you two."

Teacher Oki deliberately avoided mentioning the "reclaiming dignity" matter.

As a teacher, he didn't want the children to bear too much pressure.

Better to let the Hokage decide... After all, this was the first time such a serious incident had occurred.

"Wow! Ramen!" Obito, beside him, grew excited again.

Ruohuo took the lunch, but his expression turned rather strange.

"So the Hyuga clan head only paid for us taking the person to the hospital?"

"What about the other expenses? My chakra usage fee, Obito's 'getting beaten' fee, and Grandma's emotional distress fee..."

"That's enough!"

The frequency of Oki's mental breakdowns today was even surpassing his early days as a teacher.

Then he saw Ruohuo's brow gradually furrow.

"Hoo..." Taking a deep breath, Oki regulated his emotions.

"Alright, you two go eat first... In any case, I will report this matter upward. As for your requests..."

"I will report those as well."

Kid, if you've got the guts, go have the Hokage help you collect those emotional distress fees!

"Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher."

Ruohuo knew exactly what Teacher Oki's capabilities were; one could simply look at Iruka in the future as a reference.

There was no need to make things difficult for the man; he would just find an opportunity to defend his rights himself.

He was an Uchiha, a future bigwig of the Konoha Military Police Force; defending his rights should be a piece of cake, right?

"Oh, right, Teacher. I'm the class monitor now; the students elected me."

Before leaving, Ruohuo reminded him, "Although I declined repeatedly, the students still felt it was better for me to be the monitor."

"Perhaps everyone feels that an Uchiha, who is responsible for Konoha's security, is more reliable."

"..." Teacher Oki looked silently at his junior.

The junior was burying his head in his lunch, unable to face him...

"Also."

Ruohuo suddenly remembered something. "Since I'm the class monitor, please have Teacher Oki announce as soon as possible that I am the first-year top student."

"How are you the top..." Oki rubbed his increasingly painful temples and said with his last shred of patience, "The top student position requires an assessment."

"You need to be at the top of both practical combat and academic grades to become the top student. It's only the first day of school, how..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his sentence, they were already gone.

Oki sighed and looked gloomily at his junior.

"Noma..."

"Can you tell me how exactly he became the class monitor?"

On the other side, Ruohuo and Obito arrived at the rooftop to eat the ramen Teacher Oki had brought them.

"Big Brother, my ramen has one more egg than yours! Here, take this!"

As Obito spoke, he reached out to put the egg into Ruohuo's bowl.

Ruohuo's face darkened, and he decisively refused. "Obito, you're still growing, you should eat it yourself..."

"Alright then..."

Watching Obito slurping down his ramen, Ruohuo couldn't help but feel like he was raising a mentally challenged younger brother.

Can you believe this guy is the one who becomes the No. 3 big boss of the ninja world in the original timeline?

To be fair.

Although there wasn't much plot regarding young Obito in the memoirs, he didn't seem this dim-witted, did he?

Could it be because I have a super handsome, invincible, and flashy older brother in my life now?

It must be that...

Ruohuo raised an eyebrow and looked toward the other side—at a white-haired boy who was munching on a rice ball, pretending he hadn't just been looking this way.

Kakashi was also eating lunch on the rooftop.

The current C-rank mission, to put it bluntly, was to break Kakashi's graduation record while also competing for the top student spot.

Simply put, it meant defeating Kakashi and graduating immediately.

No problem there.

"Hey, you little white-hair, were you peeking at me just now?"

"..." Kakashi choked slightly.

Little white-hair? What kind of weird nickname is that!

Come to think of it, this class monitor seems to really enjoy giving people derogatory nicknames.

He calls the classmate with glasses "Four-Eyes," calls Asuma "Little Sprout," and now this...

Doesn't he know that nicknames are a form of school bullying?

Though, this guy does seem to have a strong sense of justice.

Even though he calls the other kid "Four-Eyes," he still let him sit in the front row so he could see the blackboard better.

Asuma's bad habit of chewing on a toothpick really does feel like it will develop into smoking in the future...

Tsk, this class monitor is hard to judge.

I'll just ask my old man about it when I get home tonight.

"Hey! Didn't you hear me talking to you, dead-fish-eyed little white-hair!"

"Get over here!"

Seeing that Kakashi didn't respond, Ruohuo raised his voice even higher.

Seeing this, Obito didn't even finish chewing the ramen in his mouth before shouting, "Get—over—here!"

"..." Kakashi rolled his eyes.

Having trained with his father since he was young and having seen the world of elite ninja early on, he didn't want to lower himself to their level.

But since the stairwell was close to them and he felt he might get blocked if he tried to walk down normally, Kakashi anticipated their move.

After finishing the last bite of his rice ball, Kakashi calmly packed up his lunch box, gave the two of them a standard middle finger, and then leaped lightly...

He actually jumped straight off the six-story rooftop!

Of course, Kakashi wasn't trying to end it all by jumping off a building.

His body was light; he first landed on the window ledge of the fifth floor, then jumped onto a water pipe, grabbing it with one hand and sliding all the way down.

I have to say, that smooth movement was actually kind of cool.

At least that's what Obito thought...

"Wow, he's so cool, Big Brother!"

"..."

The look in Ruohuo's eyes as he turned to Obito was filled with a bit more pity.

So, is it a rule that all younger brothers in this ninja world must possess the "stupid" attribute?

"Stay here, don't move. Finish your ramen before going downstairs, and remember to use the stairs."

Since Kakashi had sent a challenge request with his middle finger, how could Ruohuo not accept it!?

Ruohuo jumped onto the rooftop railing and leaped fiercely into the air!

In that instant, Ruohuo truly experienced a sense of freedom he had never felt in his previous life.

Unlike skydiving, bungee jumping, or other high-altitude sports that require equipment, this six-story height wasn't low, but Ruohuo was confident he could land safely.

He just needed to, as he neared the ground...

"Fire Style: Great Fireball PLUS!"

Whoosh—!

Spitting high-temperature flames from his mouth, the powerful impact acted as a brief counter-force, allowing Ruohuo to forcibly decelerate in mid-air before landing steadily!

By this time, Kakashi had only slid down to the second floor...

Watching Ruohuo, who had arrived first after riding the waves of fire, his little face went blank!

This guy... is he a lunatic!

"Little white-hair, you shouldn't provoke an Uchiha."

After showing off his move, Ruohuo crossed his arms and said coolly.

"Don't be a coward during this afternoon's combat class."

Ruohuo wouldn't get into private fights at school or block the gate after class.

Those are things bad kids do.

As a righteous Uchiha, saying no to school bullying starts with me!
