Ninja Academy.
Class break.
"Today, I'm definitely going to beat you guys up. Moegi, Udon, let's go."
Konohamaru led Moegi and Udon in challenging the Tenyu Squad.
The surrounding students immediately became interested and gathered around to watch.
"Here he comes again. Konohamaru, who's never won before, is challenging them again."
"How can you say he's never won? We can't beat him."
"Go, Konohamaru Corps!"
"No way, the Tenyu Squad is first in every subject."
The students began discussing it.
Moegi tugged at Konohamaru's sleeve. "Konohamaru, how about we forget it? We can't beat them."
Udon sniffed and sucked his snot back in. "They're too strong."
"How can you say that? If we work a little harder, we'll be able to trade blows with them."
Konohamaru said unhappily.
"But only you can fight them. Moegi and I can't!"
Udon said softly.
Across from them, the three members of the Tenyu Squad laughed as they listened to their conversation.
Tenyu, Maki, and Zhanbu Du—the true geniuses of the second year.
Tenyu and Maki were Genjutsu geniuses who could already perform Teacher Iruka's Eight Fragrances of Fire in their second year, and they were also among the best in Taijutsu.
Zhanbu Du was a genius with the blade and a genius in all kinds of theory as well.
As for Konohamaru's team, only Moegi and Konohamaru could fight, only Moegi excelled in theory, while Udon and Konohamaru were merely above average.
Tenyu said to Konohamaru, "Forget it. A student who can't even study properly isn't worthy of being our opponent."
"Damn you, Tenyu! I'm the Hokage's grandson. I'll become very strong in the future,
and then I'll beat you flat." The moment his studies were mentioned, Konohamaru was furious.
The key was that it was true.
He really hadn't put enough effort
