Do You Know What You're Doing...

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's Office.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind his desk, pinching two documents that had just been submitted, his brow furrowed deeply.

He had already changed the tobacco in his pipe three times.

The document on the left had been personally delivered by the head of Konoha Hospital's psychiatric department.

"Recommendation for the Full Deterioration of Ninja Academy Teacher Gang Ziyun's Condition and His Permanent Mandatory Confinement."

The words on the page were perfectly clear.

The patient had suffered severe and irreversible cognitive contamination. At present, merely hearing the words "Ye," "held back," or "graduation ceremony" triggered violent stress reactions.

Hiruzen's eyelids twitched as he read.

The document on the right was the class assignment roster for this year's Ninja Academy graduates.

The names on it had been circled and crossed out with red ink again and again, until he had nearly torn the paper apart.

The other assignments were not difficult.

Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

Those three made a proper team.

One genius, one hot-blooded youth, and one promising medic. Their personalities complemented one another, and their strength was fairly balanced too.

Only the name at the very top had kept Hiruzen sitting there since morning.

Uchiha Ye.

Hiruzen rubbed his throbbing temples and could not help sighing.

At nine years old, his strength was nearly at the level of a Jonin.

His Chakra reserves were absurd enough to create Multiple Shadow Clones continuously.

He could even suppress Obito Uchiha, who had awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, and the genius Kakashi Hatake all by himself.

More importantly...

That brat's talent for causing trouble was ten thousand times more terrifying than his natural gifts.

He had driven his homeroom teacher mad and sent him to the hospital. Who exactly was supposed to lead such a living demon?
