The Hated Uchiha Yuu

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The dismissal bell rang, and a group of brats rushed out with their books in hand.

Smack!

Some brat had thrown the book Will of Fire at Chishu's face before leaving, nearly making the already furious Chishu cast 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 missing a book will learn what cruelty means!"

Unlike the other children, Uchiha Yuu was the last to leave the classroom. Because of his limited mobility, he could only push his wheelchair and could not compete with them.

Minato Namikaze, who had been at the back, stepped forward, placed his hands on Uchiha Yuu's wheelchair, and pushed 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 helped him become Hokage.

However, Uchiha Yuu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He stiffly turned his head toward Kushina, whose lips were slightly pursed, and said awkwardly:

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

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

"I think I need tutoring 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 to tutor me after class?"

"Huh? Yuu, you love learning that much? Just as I thought! You're suited for the Will of Fire!"

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

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

Uchiha Yuu slightly moved his ankle. His muscles had already begun to regrow; once his tendons and bones were reconnected, he would be able to leave the wheelchair.

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

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

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

But the disgust and fear in their eyes annoyed him further, especially when he passed beside a girl and heard her mutter softly.

"Is that the living dead person from our school? I heard he's ugly, and his whole body is rotten flesh. What's the point of someone like that even being alive? He only disgusts us."

"Who knows? Maybe the Uchiha Clan deliberately sent him to disgust us. Those damned Uchiha."

The two girls had spoken quietly and only said those things after turning the corner, but Chishu, who was pushing the wheelchair, was an Elite Chunin. His pace unconsciously quickened as he hoped Uchiha Yuu had not heard their conversation.

However, when Chishu lowered his head, he saw Yuu with his head slightly bowed.

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

His voice was so weak that even he did not believe his own words. He quickened his pace, wanting to get Uchiha Yuu away as quickly as possible.

"Teacher, sometimes pain won't disappear because of the Will of Fire. But this time is almost over, so I won't be angry."

There was a trace of coldness in Uchiha Yuu's eyes. His tone suddenly changed. From his position, he could see the two girls chatting and laughing as they headed down the stairs.

"Still, a necessary apology is required."

"That really was a bit too much."

Chishu glanced at Yuu's legs and the bandages covering his body, then said thoughtfully:

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

As one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade was not only immensely powerful but also an outstanding medical ninja. Throughout the Shinobi World, there was no medical ninja who could surpass Tsunade.

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

Why did the Uchiha Clan not take Uchiha Yuu to her themselves?

Yuu himself was unwelcome within the Uchiha Clan, and with Tsunade's special status, they would not ask her for help over a piece of trash.

The Uchiha Clan was too proud to lower itself from its arrogant pedestal.

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

This was not a physical illness. It involved uranium.

Medical Ninjutsu fundamentally activated the body's cells and stimulated cellular division to rapidly heal wounds.

But Uchiha Yuu's flesh and blood were all mutated products, with no connection whatsoever to human cells.

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

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

Just thinking about it was disgusting!

Fortunately, Uncle Snake was not a pervert yet.

He had not experienced the death of his disciple. Though he understood life and death, he had not yet become insane 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 question Lady Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu? Lady Tsunade has saved countless people. She can even repair large-scale injuries. There's definitely nothing wrong with your body."

Chishu had complete confidence in Tsunade's abilities. He believed she would certainly allow this child to stand again.

Uchiha Yuu smiled helplessly as he was pushed along. Before long, they left the academy.

When they neared the Uchiha Compound, Chishu stopped.

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

The Konoha Security Force, who were also members of the Uchiha Clan.

"Stop. This isn't somewhere you're allowed to come."

Uchiha Shuiyun raised a hand to stop him and issued a direct warning:

"The Uchiha Compound does not welcome outsiders."

That arrogant, conceited attitude and the contempt in his eyes made Chishu uncomfortable.

As one of Konoha's great clans, and a clan famous even throughout the Shinobi World, every member of the Uchiha Clan was a genius wherever they went.

"I don't like coming here either. This time, I'm bringing my student back. I hope you'll return him home safely."

He released the wheelchair handles and spread his hands to show he held no weapon, then said apologetically:

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

"Thank you, Teacher."

Uchiha Yuu's gaze remained calm as he swept it over the two ninjas. He could see the disgust in their eyes. After Chishu left, Uchiha Shuiyun said impatiently:

"Our Uchiha Clan has no use for trash like you. The proud Uchiha Clan has never had a cripple!"

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

Crack!
