The Uchiha Everyone Hated

Ding, ding, ding!

The dismissal bell rang, and a group of little brats grabbed their books and rushed outside.

Slap!

Before leaving, some brat tossed the book Will of Fire onto Qianshu's face, nearly making the already furious Qianshu unleash a ninjutsu.

He took several breaths before calming the rage in his heart.

"You little bastards, just wait until tomorrow's homework inspection. Whoever's book is missing, I'll show him what cruelty means!"

Unlike the other children, Uchiha Yū was the last to leave the classroom. Because he had trouble moving, he could only push his wheelchair and had no chance of competing with them.

At the very back, Minato stepped forward, came to Uchiha Yū's wheelchair, and casually began pushing him ahead.

"Only I'll help you when it matters."

It had to be said that Minato Namikaze possessed a certain personal charm. The fact that a commoner like him could become Hokage proved it, and that charm had certainly earned him plenty of points on his path to becoming Hokage.

However, Uchiha Yū suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He stiffly turned his head toward Kushina, whose lips were pressed into a thin line, and said awkwardly:

"Don't worry, I won't steal your time together."

He had no desire to be targeted by the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki, so he called out to Teacher Qianshu, who was tidying up the floor.

"I think I need extra lessons on the Will of Fire. As the Third Hokage's famous work, it must be inherited by the new generation! Teacher, do you have time after class to tutor me?"

"Huh? You likes studying that much, You? Just as I thought! You're perfectly suited for the Will of Fire!"

Before Teacher Qianshu could even react, he saw Uchiha Yū roll his wheelchair past them and arrive at Qianshu's side.

The wheelchair had already become part of his daily life. At the very least, it would still be a few days before he could get rid of it.

Uchiha Yū lightly moved his ankle. The muscles had already begun growing back. Once the tendons and bones connected, he would be able to leave the wheelchair behind.

His days of lying around like useless trash and sitting in a wheelchair were about to end.

"Of course, Teacher Qianshu. After all, Konoha's prosperity is thanks to the Third Hokage."

Perhaps because his body was nearly healed, Uchiha Yū was in a good mood. With his teacher pushing him slowly through the stairwell, he greeted everyone they encountered along the way.

Yet the disgust and fear in their eyes made him increasingly irritated. Especially when they passed two girls and he heard one of them mutter softly.

"Is that the living dead man from our school? I heard he's ugly, and his entire body is covered in rotten flesh. What's the point of someone like that staying alive? He only disgusts us."

"Who knows? Maybe the Uchiha clan sent him specifically to disgust us. Those damned Uchiha."

The two girls had spoken quietly and only said those words after turning the corner, but Qianshu, who was pushing the wheelchair, was an elite chunin. His pace unconsciously quickened as he silently hoped Uchiha Yū had not heard their conversation.

But when Qianshu lowered his head, he saw You with his head slightly lowered.

"You... they probably didn't mean it..."

His voice was weak. Even he did not believe what he was saying. He quickened his pace, wanting to get Uchiha Yū away as quickly as possible.

"Teacher, sometimes pain won't disappear because of the Will of Fire. But this period will soon end, so I won't be angry."

A cold glint flashed in Uchiha Yū's eyes, and his tone abruptly changed. From where he sat, he could see the two girls chatting and laughing as they walked down the stairs.

"Still, an apology is necessary."

"That was indeed a little too much."

He looked at You's legs and the bandages covering his body, then said after some thought:

"Don't lose hope. Lady Tsunade can cure your illness."

As one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade possessed not only formidable strength but was also an outstanding medical ninja. Throughout the entire ninja world, there was no medical ninja who could surpass Tsunade.

"And Lady Tsunade likes children very much. When the time comes, I'll ask a senior jonin to take you to see her about your illness."

Why wouldn't the Uchiha clan take Uchiha Yū there themselves?

You was already unwelcome within the Uchiha clan, and Tsunade's status was special. They would never ask Tsunade for help on behalf of a piece of trash.

The Uchiha were too proud. They could not lower their arrogant heads.

"Lady Tsunade? I don't think Lady Tsunade can cure my illness."

His was not a physical illness, but something involving uranium.

Medical ninjutsu ultimately activated the body's cells and stimulated cell division to rapidly heal wounds.

But Uchiha Yū's flesh and blood were all mutated products, utterly unrelated to human cells.

Rather than asking Tsunade to treat him, he might as well seek out Orochimaru. With that mad scientist's abilities, Orochimaru's eyes would definitely light up when he saw Uchiha Yū's body.

Then he would stick out his tongue and give him a good lick.

Just thinking about it was disgusting!

Fortunately, Orochimaru was not a pervert yet.

He had not experienced the death of his disciples. Though he understood life and death, he had not yet become deranged enough to experiment on living people.

Orochimaru was still a respected powerhouse of Konoha! And one of its leading powerhouses.

"You brat, how dare you doubt Lady Tsunade's medical ninjutsu? Lady Tsunade's abilities have saved countless people. She can even repair massive injuries. There's definitely nothing wrong with your body."

Qianshu was full of confidence in Tsunade's abilities. He believed she would surely allow this child to stand again.

Uchiha Yū smiled helplessly as he was slowly pushed onward. Before long, they left the school.

When they approached the Uchiha clan compound, Qianshu stopped.

Two black figures suddenly darted out from the side. Their pitch-black clothing and fan-like emblems revealed their identities.

Konoha's Police Force, made up of Uchiha clan members.

"Stop. This isn't a place you can come."

Uchiha Shuiyun raised a hand to stop him and warned him directly:

"The Uchiha clan compound does not welcome outsiders."

That arrogant, conceited attitude and the contempt in his eyes made Qianshu unhappy.

As one of Konoha's great clans, famous even throughout the ninja world, every Uchiha member was a genius wherever they went.

"I don't like coming here either. I only came this time to bring my student home. I hope you'll escort him back safely."

He released the wheelchair handles and spread his empty hands, showing that he held no weapon, then said apologetically:

"I can only bring you this far. Rest well after you get home."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Uchiha Yū's gaze was calm as it swept over the two ninjas. He could see the disgust in their eyes. After Qianshu left, Uchiha Shuiyun said impatiently:

"Our Uchiha clan has no use for trash like you. The proud Uchiha clan has never had cripples!"

"Someone like you should have died the moment you were born!"

Crack!
