Tsunade the Little Loli Goes Berserk!

People risked ruining their eyes just to wear colored contacts and show off.

Those were fake. This was a real Sharingan. Though it was only a Single-Tomoe Sharingan, to Hikaru, who had once dreamed of obtaining a pair of Sharingan, it was the kind of thing worth selling his soul for—not for a penny, but definitely for a dollar.

And that was only part of it. The most important thing was that Hikaru was only five years old!!!

Looking across the entire Uchiha Clan, who had awakened the Sharingan at the age of five?

Within the entire Uchiha Clan, Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha had awakened theirs the earliest. The difference was that Itachi Uchiha had done it through his own efforts, while Sasuke had largely had his brother Itachi Uchiha helping him.

If this news got out, it would probably drive quite a few people mad.

One could imagine that Hikaru would definitely draw the attention of the Uchiha higher-ups and receive focused training. That was the benefit. As for the downsides, there was no need to say more. Those hostile to the Uchiha would certainly set their sights on him, including certain people.

Every one of those people held considerable influence in Konoha.

There were not many people in the Ninja World called geniuses, and even fewer who could truly grow up.

The major ninja villages might seem peaceful now, but once an enemy village produced a heaven-defying genius, that genius would certainly be targeted. Interceptions, assassinations—methods of every kind would emerge without end.

Hikaru closed his eyes, and the Sharingan soon vanished.

Having just obtained the Sharingan, Hikaru excitedly tried to control it, but the results were less than ideal. His Chakra reserves were too low, and he simply could not maintain the awakened state for long.

As for the fact that he had awakened the Sharingan, Hikaru had no intention of spreading the news, even if it would earn him the attention of the entire Uchiha Clan.

Hikaru was no hotheaded brat who wanted to show everything off.

Showing off before having absolute protection was simply courting death.

The Sannin were impressive, but others had the Third Hokage as their teacher. Namikaze Minato, a Civilian Ninja, had soared to greatness because he had earned the favor of the Third Hokage and Jiraiya.

Kakashi was a genius, but his father was already one of Konoha's Kage-level experts and the head of the Hatake clan.

Every example told Hikaru that nothing was as simple as it appeared. Without powerful backing, allowing the name of a genius to spread everywhere was courting death.

"Uchiha glory!!! Perhaps I really can protect it!!!"

The God-tier Evolution Potion worked. That meant Hikaru's growth would be monstrous. If he still could not protect the glory of the Uchiha after that, he might as well find a block of tofu and smash his head into it.

Having lived two lives, Hikaru knew very well what he needed to do now.

Keep a low profile, stay steady, and take things neither too fast nor too slow.

He could not stand out too much, but neither could he lag behind the pack. Maintaining a stable pace of growth was best. Once he had the strength to protect himself, he could naturally soar into the sky.

If he ran around everywhere with a pair of Sharingan now, he would probably soon face assassination attempts from other villages, or even schemes from certain people within Konoha.

Clenching his fists, Hikaru looked at his reflection in the mirror. The Uchiha Clan truly deserved its reputation as a clan that produced handsome men. Though he was still young, his childish face already showed a hint of good looks.

I just hope I don't grow up ugly!

Quite a few children looked handsome when they were young, only to grow into complete disasters as adults. If that happened to him, Hikaru would be devastated.

After straightening his clothes and casually chewing on some bread, Hikaru left home and headed for the Ninja Academy.

Right now, he was like a dried-up sponge. He needed to absorb all kinds of knowledge frantically. Do not think that knowing the entire plot as a transmigrator meant he could act without restraint. That would only get him killed quickly.

Competition among ninja was cruel. This was not children playing house.

What made Hikaru somewhat relieved was that he had no adoptive parents in this life, which made him feel much more at ease. Though he would have less to rely on, the thought of calling two strangers Mom and Dad felt strange to him.

His adoptive parents had died gloriously after staying behind to cover their clansmen during a mission.

Though he was alone, with subsidies from the village and the Uchiha Clan, Hikaru did not need to worry about starving to death. Of course, those subsidies would only continue until he became a ninja. Once he graduated and became a real ninja, the village and clan subsidies would be cut off.

Even the weakest ninja would not starve to death as long as they took on some low-level missions.

Early in the morning, there were not many people on the streets of the Uchiha compound. Only a small number of children, like Hikaru, were carrying backpacks to the Ninja Academy.

Because he had skipped class yesterday, Hikaru was empty-handed now. Even his backpack was still in the classroom.

"Hmph!!!"

The moment he entered the classroom and sat down, an unhappy snort sounded beside his ear. A chubby little face immediately leaned toward him.

Tsunade!!

"Uchiha Hikaru, what was that attitude yesterday? Was sparring with me, Tsunade, really so unbearable for you?"

The little girl had clearly not forgotten what happened yesterday. Looking at Tsunade, who had two little braids and a chubby face, Hikaru shook his head slightly. "What do you want, then?"

You were indeed the Little Princess of the Senju Clan, Tsunade, but this was the Ninja Academy. Throwing around your lofty status here was meaningless.

Tsunade puffed out her cheeks and snapped, "Fight me!!"

"No."

Hikaru refused without hesitation. At this stage, the students could barely use ninjutsu, and their taijutsu skills were all about the same. He had no interest in fighting Tsunade. Whoever wanted to could go ahead.

Bang!!!

A loud crash rang through the classroom, startling the other students who had been watching the show. There was no question that Tsunade had exploded. Her explosive temper and gambling habit had clearly been nurtured from a young age.

Of course, she had learned gambling from her grandfather, Hashirama Senju. As for her personality... well, perhaps she had simply been born with it.

They're at it again!!!

Will they start fighting right here at school?

The group of brats was startled at first, then grew excited. Orochimaru was the only exception. While the others were badly frightened, his expression did not change, remaining as cold and indifferent as ever.

Still, Orochimaru's gaze involuntarily shifted over. He wanted to see how Hikaru would resolve this. Tsunade was not easy to dismiss at a time like this.

She's really violent...

Looking at the desktop that had already cracked slightly, Hikaru's mouth twitched. Facing Tsunade, whose eyes were wide as she glared at him, he said helplessly:

"Don't stare like that. I admit your eyes are bigger than mine. Besides, I, Uchiha Hikaru, have no interest in fighting you, Tsunade."

"If you're interested, how about we have a bet? If you win, I'll do as you say. If you lose, stop glaring at me from now on."
