Fight

After some time, security around the Ninja Academy had relaxed considerably. Parents no longer accompanied their children to school, and even the Uchiha from the police force had all withdrawn. Everything returned to normal.

When Lin Chuan arrived at class, he bumped into a blond the moment he entered the classroom. They had only met after enrolling, but after three months together, they were fairly familiar. He immediately raised a hand in greeting. "Naruto, where are you going?"

"It's Chuan. I'm going to the bathroom," Naruto said. He had no time to chat. Clutching his butt, he hurried off to the restroom.

Tch, that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi embezzled Naruto's inheritance. Naruto probably ate expired instant noodles again and has diarrhea, so he can only run to the bathroom. Lin Chuan silently grumbled, mentally listing old Sarutobi's ten greatest crimes.

There were also the shops that refused to sell Naruto anything, which was why Naruto could only buy piles of instant noodles every time, and they always ended up expiring.

Being a jinchuriki was truly miserable. If he ever became one, he would defect immediately without even a second of hesitation. To hell with bonds. Lin Chuan, jinchuriki extraordinaire, didn't need bonds.

He silently walked to his seat at the back of the classroom. In front of him sat one of the familiar Twelve Rookie Ninja. This was a tiered classroom with three students per table, and he noticed that all the familiar members of the Twelve Rookie Ninja were seated together. Their current desk arrangements were basically their future teams.

It really was... fate's arrangement!!!

After sitting down, he greeted his deskmate first. "Good morning..."

"Good morning," the random extra replied flatly before turning his head away.

The random extra had no idea that Lin Chuan looked at him like he was an experience piñata. Lin Chuan just didn't know whether this guy had ever appeared in the anime.

His transmigration had been too rushed, and he had not had time to catch up on the Naruto anime. He could only judge whether these people were minor characters who had appeared before based on whether they interacted with Naruto, like the three troublemakers who had gotten killed earlier.

Suddenly, an argument came from outside the door, and everyone curiously looked toward the hallway...

"Hey, apologize to her." Naruto clenched his fists and shielded the timid Hinata behind him, glaring angrily at several arrogant-looking classmates with crooked faces and uneven features.

"No way, you white-eyed monster." The fat student burst out laughing and even made a face at Hinata.

"Bastard!" Naruto cursed and threw a punch.

Tsk, more campus discrimination, and three more experience piñatas. Seeing this, Lin Chuan could not help clicking his tongue. How did these troublemakers dare do this again and again? Did they have brains at all?

He also rushed toward Naruto, who was fighting three against one. This was a chance to raise Naruto's favorability. Maybe he could fleece him in the future. He shouted, "Naruto, I'll help you..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He threw punches and kicks at the fat student who had been laughing the loudest, focusing on one person and beating him mercilessly. This was the way to break a deadlock in a group fight, and the group was soon crying for their fathers and mothers.

The five-person brawl accidentally knocked over Choji's chips. Choji instantly saw red, rage rushing to his head as he joined the fight.

"Hey, Choji!" Shikamaru Nara was right beside Choji and tried to reach out and stop him. But his small frame could not pull Choji back, and Choji dragged him into the brawl instead.

The five-person brawl became a seven-person brawl in the blink of an eye. Hinata watched anxiously from the side until Teacher Iruka appeared and gave everyone a hard knock on the head, raising pink lumps on their scalps. Only then did the brawl stop...

Knock, knock, knock-knock-knock—

"Stop it, all of you! Everyone who fought, line up in the hallway!" Rage blazed across Iruka's face. He practically wanted to use ninjutsu to give these naughty little brats a full-body massage.

[Standing Punishment at the Classroom Entrance]

"Eh?" Hearing that they did not have to attend class, the students involved in the brawl were actually a little excited. They secretly rejoiced, and their chatter grew louder.

"Eh what?" Iruka's fists had already hardened. He really wanted to smack their butts, but he could not. He could only bring out a teacher's ultimate move and roar viciously, "All of you will have your parents called after school..."

Tsk, tsk. Who would have thought that even at thirty years old, I'd still have my parents called? Lin Chuan sat cross-legged beside the corridor and began his daily cultivation check-in.

He used his fingers for advanced chakra-control training. For example, he condensed small clumps of chakra in his palms, stretched them into thin chakra threads, then pulled and swung them over short distances to adapt to controlling chakra outside his body and solve the problem of chakra dispersing as soon as it left his body. After that, he would use chakra threads to control dolls. Mediocre talent was mediocre talent, but he still had to train.

"Hey, Chuan, what are you sitting there for? Want some of Choji's chips?" Seeing Lin Chuan staring silently at his fingers, Naruto gently nudged his shoulder. Choji was sharing his chips with them.

"I'm training." Lin Chuan had practiced chakra control ever since transmigrating here. He had also set himself a small goal: to reach Chunin level by graduation. Only then would he qualify to compete on the same stage as these freaks during the Chunin Ninja Exams. For that, he had to work even harder.

In the first part of Naruto, Kakashi had personally said while teaching Sasuke the Chidori that Sasuke's chakra reserves allowed him to use an A-rank ninjutsu at most twice. Using it a third time would exhaust him to the point of unconsciousness. Sasuke had already been at Chunin level then, so Lin Chuan had to at least reach Sasuke's level.

Because of the burden of the Sharingan, Kakashi had personally said that he could use A-rank ninjutsu at most four times a day. That eye, which could never be turned off, had both advantages and drawbacks. It gave Kakashi excellent dynamic vision, but it also left him especially short on chakra.

Those chakra reserves could only serve as a reference. In the later stages, Kakashi and the others were basically never short on chakra. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi and Might Guy took six tailed beasts for a stroll, fighting from beginning to end without either of them ever running dry.

Comparing his current chakra reserves with those of his bargain-bin Chunin father, he found that he should be able to use C-rank ninjutsu. After all, Sasuke and Itachi had already learned the Fireball Jutsu at this age. He only lacked chakra control now, so after school, he could ask his bargain-bin father about ninjutsu.

Still, the Uchiha clan massacre should be coming soon, right? The Uchiha were wiped out when Sasuke was seven. They entered the Ninja Academy at six, so there was only about a year left until the night of the Uchiha massacre. He was not planning to do anything.

After all, he could still resurrect, so time was not that urgent. He only needed to grow stronger slowly. The Uchiha massacre had nothing to do with him. It was not something a Ninja Academy student like him could participate in.

Unless he transmigrated into an Uchiha next time, then he would think of a way to save himself—defecting from Konoha amid the slaughter by Root, Obito, and Itachi. In this godforsaken place where everyone was a troublemaker, whoever loved staying could stay. If he did not need time to develop, he would have defected long ago.

Over the next six years at the academy, he had to make his body grow quickly so he could earn life points in the Chunin Ninja Exams. Since that damned planner refused to act like a human and required four hundred people to max out his talents, he wanted to see whether maxing all eight talents could make him Kage Level.

After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi's ninja stats in the Book of Lin only totaled sixty-eight talent points. The ninja stats of the Three Sannin—Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade—in the Book of Zhe totaled only seventy points as well. Kage Level experts did not even need maxed-out talents.

If he maxed out his talents, wouldn't he soar into the heavens? At the very least, he would be guaranteed Kage Level. If he still did not reach Kage Level, then he would "curse that damned planner to have a son without a..."
