By the time Anko Mitarashi, Mitarai Luoshan, and Little Wolf returned to the family, it was already evening. Mitarashi Zixiao simply shook his head and didn't say much, but Mitarai Shiroiwa was a nitpicker. Unfortunately, Anko Mitarashi wasn't afraid of her third uncle at all, let alone the fearless Mitarai Luoshan.

During dinner, Mitarashi Zixiao suggested that Mitarai Luoshan also enter the Ninja Academy, but on the condition that Mitarai Luoshan must be able to pronounce words accurately within a week.

To achieve this goal, Mitarai Luoshan diligently practiced his pronunciation. He couldn't let Anko Mitarashi down, and he also wanted to become stronger. Finally, he fulfilled Mitarashi Zixiao's conditions within the allotted time.

The next day, as promised, Mitarashi Zixiao brought Mitarai Luoshan to the Ninja Academy and found the homeroom teacher of Anko Mitarashi's class, a Special Jōnin named Jiro Nakamura, who was said to be an elite ninja who had been wounded in the war and whose strength had declined, forcing him to leave the battlefield.

After explaining his purpose, Jiro Nakamura immediately began making arrangements. For someone of Mitarashi Zixiao's status, arranging for someone to enter the Ninja Academy was not a big deal. Soon, the enrollment information was filled out, and Jiro Nakamura took Mitarai Luoshan to the class, the first-year elite class.

Before even reaching the classroom door, the noise coming from inside was clearly audible. Jiro Nakamura instantly turned pale, gritted his teeth, kicked open the door, and roared, "You bastards, behave yourselves!"

In that instant, the entire class fell silent. Everyone quieted down, sitting up straight as if they hadn't been the ones making a ruckus just moments before, which made Jiro Nakamura sigh.

Through the crack in the door, Mitarai Luoshan saw Anko Mitarashi, which was quite normal; if she could be quiet, she wouldn't be Anko Mitarashi.

Ninjas must absolutely obey orders and always remember and abide by the rules. Even if they are young, this is already common knowledge in the precocious Ninja World.

Seeing the quiet classroom, Jiro Nakamura waved. Mitarai Luoshan curled his lip, pushed open the half-open door and walked in. Standing on the podium, looking at the familiar gazes below, Mitarai Luoshan grinned, a fierce and malevolent glint in his dark eyes.

Because those familiar gazes were none other than that look of disgust.

Mitarai Luoshan didn't know all the children here, but he knew more than half of them. They were all people who had bullied him in the past, but he never expected to meet them under these circumstances.

"This is our new transfer student; his name is Mitarai Luoshan!"

With a quick glance at the crowd below, Jiro Nakamura took in the entire situation. He sighed inwardly, having anticipated this outcome. After all, he had heard about those incidents before, such as the story of Anko Mitarashi taking away the "monster" and "beast," which had been circulating in Konoha for quite some time.

"Listen up, all of you! I don't care about what happened in the past, but now that we're all in the same class, we're all teammates, teammates who can rely on each other, understand?"

"What companions? I don't want to be companions with a monster!"

As soon as Jiro Nakamura finished speaking, a little boy of about four or five years old immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

"That's right, he's not one of our comrades!"

"He's just a monster, what right does he have to be our comrade!"

That's exactly what I meant!

"What if he suddenly goes crazy and kills us all!"

"I won't agree to that either!"

"·····"

"Have you said enough?"

Before Jiro Nakamura could speak, Mitarashi Anko Mitarashi, who had already lost her temper, slammed her hand on the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "You bunch of bastards, stop making so much noise! Luoshan is no monster or beast! If you dare say another word, believe me, I'll break your legs!"

"You are his master, of course you should speak up for him!"

Another boy stood up, his youthful face filled with arrogance and disdain. He was also a member of a family, and in terms of status, he was not much inferior to Anko Mitarashi.

"Kurama Zuoming, you..."

"What, you want to fight? Others may be afraid of you, but I, this young master, am not!"

"Asshole!"

"Anko, calm down!"

The little girl, who was about five or six years old, grabbed Anko Mitarashi, who was about to rush out.

"Red, let me go! I'm going to teach this bastard a lesson..."

"Bang!"

Before Anko Mitarashi could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a little boy with a lollipop in his mouth stumbled in, his head full of short, black hair and wearing goggles.

"Obito Uchiha, you're late again!" After a moment of silence, Jiro Nakamura, his veins bulging, shouted angrily.

"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" Obito Uchiha and chuckled dryly, "I was helping an old lady cross the street, so..."

Before the words of the exit had even faded, Obito Uchiha had already noticed the strangeness in the class. Looking at Anko Mitarashi and Kurama Zuoming facing off, and seeing the strange, disgusted gazes, he finally followed the gaze and looked at Mitarai Luoshan, who was standing on the podium with a fierce expression.

After a moment of hesitation, Obito Uchiha walked towards Mitarai Luoshan, extending his hand with his usual carefree smile on his face.

"Hello, I am Obito, Obito Uchiha of the Uchiha clan. I am the man who will become the Fourth Hokage in the future. It would be great if you could guide me!"

Obito Uchiha's voice wasn't loud, but it stunned everyone, including Mitarai Luoshan.

"Hey! Obito, do you know what you're doing?!"

With a furrowed brow, Kurama Zuoming, realizing what was happening, shouted angrily, but Anko Mitarashi ignored her completely and ran to Mitarai Luoshan's side.

"Luoshan!"

"Hey! I'm talking to you, at least give me some response! At a time like this, shouldn't you at least tell me your name?!"

Ignoring Kurama Zuoming completely, Obito Uchiha maintained his outstretched hand gesture and spoke casually.

"I······"

"Luoshan!" Anko Mitarashi smiled as she nodded to Mitarai Luoshan, who was looking over.

"Lord Anko!"

Startled, Mitarai Luoshan looked at Obito Uchiha, hesitated for a moment, and then gently raised his hand.

"Then, we're friends!" Obito Uchiha said.

"Friend!"

Mitarai Luoshan was somewhat stunned, his dark eyes fixed on Obito Uchiha. This boy was truly special.

"Tch!" Suddenly, a disdainful snort rang out from the crowd.

With his keen senses, Mitarai Luoshan immediately locked his gaze on a boy with short white hair. A black mask covered the area below his nose, revealing only his sharp and arrogant eyes.

This guy is really strong!

He must be the strongest in this class! Licking his slightly chapped lips, Mitarai Luoshan revealed a wild smile on his angular face. Raised by wolves, he had no shortage of fighting spirit in his bones.

"What do you mean, you bastard Kakashi!"

Although he didn't possess Mitarai Luoshan's extraordinary hearing and perception, Obito Uchiha was extremely familiar with that voice. Without a second thought, he stood up, turned around, and shouted angrily.

"Idiot!"

The boy spoke casually, then stood up indifferently, leaping off his seat with one hand on the table. He walked over to Mitarai Luoshan, paused, and still spoke coldly, "Kakashi Hatake, I've heard of you. Let's have a match sometime!"

"Kakashi!"

"Oh! This is youth!" The kappa boy dressed in green shouted as he stood up, yelling excitedly, "I'm Might Guy, you can just call me Guy, nice to meet you!"

"Really!" the black-haired boy said helplessly, lifting his head from the table and lazily yawning. "Guy, can you please not get so worked up?" he said, turning to look at Mitarai Luoshan. "I'm Asuma Sarutobi. Hello, nice to meet you!"

Then, another little girl stood up. She had long black hair and ruby-like eyes filled with curiosity. She was the one who had grabbed Anko Mitarashi earlier.

"So you're the one who's supposedly really scary! You don't look that intimidating. Oh! I'm Kurenai Yuhi, Anko's best friend! She's mentioned you before!"

"Hey! You guys..."

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, as if he hadn't expected this to happen. But so what! He was no longer the wild beast that fought for survival in the jungle, but Mitarai Luoshan.

"I... I am Mitarai Luoshan, the Mitarai Luoshan of Anko Mitarashi!"

"·····"
