Early graduation~

Time flew by!

Spring, Year 36 of Konoha~

Three years later~

With Hanzō the Demigod of Amegakure leading the Rain Ninja in an invasion of the Land of Fire's borders, the Second Shinobi World War was about to erupt!

Combat strength on the front lines was stretched thin. To ease the pressure, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to have the Ninja Academy students graduate early and let his three disciples choose students for their teams!

Today was the day the fifth-year elite class would graduate alongside the sixth-years!

The weather was cloudy~

At the Ninja Academy~

The training ground, examination area~

Up ahead, the sixth-year instructors were busy testing their students!

Sato Ichiro, the instructor of the fifth-year elite class, held a student roster in one hand and a pen in the other!

Uchiha Lei was already ten years old now. At 1.7 meters tall, he stood head and shoulders above his classmates. Even many of the sixth-years were shorter than him!

Uchiha Lei still wore his hair medium-long, in the same style as before. With sword-like brows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and pale red, thin lips, his face had grown even more strikingly handsome. His every movement easily drew the attention of the girls around him!

Lei wore the reward he had obtained from plundering Uchiha Mikoto: the gray, open-front ninja outfit of the future Sasuke Uchiha. His chest and abdominal muscles were as defined as a carving!

A blue sash cinched his waist, with the Kusanagi Sword hanging at the front of his left hip and a black semicircular ninja tool pouch at the back. He wore blue-black ninja pants, a rectangular kunai pouch strapped to his right leg, and black Ninja Shoes!

One word described Uchiha Lei: "Handsome!"

Uchiha Lei thought to himself:

System, open my stats panel!

A blue electronic screen appeared before Uchiha Lei:

Unbelievable. My luck over these three years has really been awful. All that time with Mikoto, Kushina, and Mie, and this is all I got!

Apart from the intermediate Uzumaki Sage Body, Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Byakugan, Sasuke-version ninja outfit, and Kusanagi Sword, it's just ninja tools and money!

Luckily, I had the foresight to develop the Rasengan, Lightning Blade, and Spiral Shuriken myself. Otherwise, I'd have no trump cards at all!

Just as Chiya Rai was grumbling inwardly, Kushina Uzumaki's sweet voice sounded in front of him~

"Lei, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking that Kushina is getting prettier and prettier. Our children will definitely be good-looking!"

Uchiha Lei replied jokingly, then looked at Kushina Uzumaki!

Kushina Uzumaki was taller now than in the original story. She had already reached 1.6 meters, only a little shorter than Uchiha Lei. Her long red hair was tied in a high ponytail behind her with a yellow hair tie!

Above her slender red right eyebrow, her red hair parted to either side. The thicker lock on the left was secured with a black hair clip, while the hair on either side fell to her delicate shoulders!

Her once-small, round face had grown oval. Paired with her clear blue, peach-blossom eyes and small, delicate nose, her pale red lips, coated in red lipstick, looked moist and glossy!

She wore a yellow ninja outfit, its front filled out by her B-cup bust. A green sash cinched her slender waist, and a yellow semicircular shuriken pouch hung at the back of her left hip!

Her small, pert, peach-shaped bottom filled out her dark blue ninja pants. Her fair legs were also growing long, with a rectangular kunai pouch strapped to her right thigh and dark blue Ninja Shoes on her fair feet!

Kushina Uzumaki was already a little beauty now. No one called her hair ugly anymore. She was unmistakably a school beauty!

Kushina Uzumaki was mostly immune to Uchiha Lei's words by now, but they still pleased her. A hint of pink rose on her fair cheeks as she moved to block the view of his sculpted chest and abs, speaking in a slightly angry tone:

"Boys need to protect themselves when they're out. Don't wear open-front clothes like this. You'll attract female creeps!"

Hyuga Mie's sweet voice chimed in beside them~

"Agreed. You're a taken man. How can you do this?"

"Isn't that a bit much? This is my only handsome ninja outfit. What a waste not to wear it!"

Uchiha countered with a smile, his gaze falling on his fiancée, Hyuga Mie!

Hyuga Mie was now unmistakably an enhanced, long-haired version of the future Hinata Hyuga. She was also 1.6 meters tall, the same height as Kushina Uzumaki!

For the Ninja Academy exam, Mie had tied her blue-black hair into a low ponytail behind her. At Uchiha Lei's suggestion, she had adopted a player-girl princess cut. Actually, she quite liked it!

Her snow-white oval face was even more refined than before. Beneath her blue-black, willow-leaf brows, her white peach-blossom eyes were even more enchanting. Her small, delicate nose and pink lips made her look all the more innocent!

Below her fair, slender neck, she wore an off-white Hyuga ninja outfit, its front easily filled out by her full B-cup bust. Below her slender waist, her full, peach-shaped bottom filled out her dark blue ninja trousers. A semicircular shuriken pouch hung at the back of her left hip!

A rectangular ninja tool pouch was strapped midway along the inner side of her right thigh. Her fair, straight legs were growing long, and her snow-white feet wore dark blue Ninja Shoes!

Mie was now unquestionably a school beauty as well, drawing considerable attention from the boys in class!

Uchiha Mikoto's sweet voice sounded from beside them~

"Lei, this time I agree with the girls too. Dressed like that, you'd be a sitting duck on the battlefield!"

"Mikoto, you were the one who agreed to let me wear this this morning. Have you forgotten?"

Uchiha Lei explained his choice of outfit in a single sentence, then turned toward Uchiha Mikoto, who had already passed her exam!

Uchiha Mikoto was also 1.6 meters tall now and even prettier than before. Her long black hair reached the small of her back. At her forehead, her widow's peak parted to either side, with two locks of black hair falling to her delicate shoulders!

Beneath her slender black, willow-leaf brows, her sparkling black, peach-blossom eyes were utterly captivating. With her small, delicate nose and pale red lips, she was this beautiful without any makeup, truly deserving her title as a school beauty!

Below her fair, slender neck, she wore a dark blue Uchiha ninja outfit. Her full B-cup bust easily filled out its front, while a black sash cinched her slender waist. A longsword also hung at her left hip!

Her small, pert, peach-shaped bottom filled out her dark blue ninja pants. A semicircular kunai pouch hung at the back of her left hip, and a rectangular ninja tool pouch was strapped midway down the front of her right thigh. Her lovely legs were likewise growing long, and her fair feet wore dark blue Ninja Shoes!

The longsword at his childhood friend Uchiha Mikoto's waist was an accessory, worn to match Uchiha Lei's outfit as a couple!

Minato Namikaze's youthful, teasing voice sounded from beside them~

"Lei, you're still so popular with the girls!"

"Minato, aren't you the same, Little Sun?"

Uchiha Lei turned and teased Minato Namikaze!

Minato Namikaze was largely the same as in the original story, except that compared with his portrayal there, he was already 1.65 meters tall. He was a little shorter than Chiya Rai, but with his long blond hair and handsome face, he was unmistakably a little sun!

He wore an off-white top with dark blue pants. His frame was lean and somewhat muscular, with the same two ninja tool pouches and dark blue Ninja Shoes. Apart from Uchiha Lei, he was the most handsome, without question!

Minato Namikaze was annoyed whenever he heard that now, and he replied with a somewhat displeased expression!

"I told you, don't call me Little Sun. It sounds stupid!"

"Yes, yes, yes. Minato, who do you think you'll be teamed up with?"

Uchiha Lei immediately changed the subject, afraid the three girls would bring up his clothes again!
