Iruka: Is this a true genius?

Uchiha Sasuke saw Uchiha Setsuna on the road, but this time, he didn't approach or speak.

Uchiha Setsuna also pretended not to see Uchiha Sasuke.

The two had become strangers.

Uchiha Sasuke was not in a good mood.

In Uchiha Sasuke's opinion, he hadn't done anything wrong, and his intentions were good, yet he was misunderstood.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uchiha Setsuna's retreating back.

"Is what brother said true?"

"This isn't my fault, the one who's wrong is actually Uchiha Setsuna."

"Uchiha Setsuna is just narrow-minded."

"But why would Uchiha Setsuna be like that?"

"We're both Uchiha, so why do I have a better life and better conditions than Uchiha Setsuna?"

"Because I'm the son of the Uchiha clan head?"

"But didn't the Uchiha decline under father's leadership?"

Uchiha Sasuke constantly pondered this question in his mind.

On one hand, Uchiha Sasuke trusted Uchiha Itachi greatly.

Uchiha Itachi was the benchmark in Uchiha Sasuke's heart.

Yet, Uchiha Sasuke also felt that Uchiha Setsuna shouldn't be as bad as Uchiha Itachi described.

"Setsuna!"

Uchiha Setsuna ran into Yamanaka Ino at the school entrance.

Yamanaka Ino greeted him happily.

Uchiha Setsuna nodded.

"Good morning."

In the Life Simulator, Uchiha Setsuna had already used Yamanaka Ino twice.

At first, Uchiha Setsuna felt apologetic, but now he had come to terms with it; it was just a life simulation, not something real.

There was no need to care too much.

The moment Sakura saw Uchiha Sasuke, her gaze was fixed on him.

She kept looking at Uchiha Sasuke, not even noticing Uchiha Setsuna.

Entering the classroom.

Iruka scanned the room, coughed lightly, and said, "Class, you've been in the Ninja Academy for over two weeks now."

"You've all performed quite well during these two weeks."

"I hope you can continue to work hard in the time to come."

"You've almost mastered Chakra extraction; as long as you keep practicing, there won't be any problems."

"This course will no longer be held."

"If there's anything you still don't understand, you can come ask me individually."

"Culture, physical training, and ninja tool classes will continue."

"But today, we will be adding a new course."

"Ninjutsu class."

Upon hearing this, the students below erupted in cheers.

This outcome was within Iruka's expectations.

After all, he and his peers had gone through the same thing back in the day.

What was the most appealing aspect of a ninja?

It was naturally ninjutsu.

Raging flames, water that opposed fire, invisible wind, incredibly fast lightning, extremely defensive earth, and all sorts of Kekkei Genkai – this was what made ninjas different.

If everyone were a Taijutsu ninja, what significant difference would there be from traditional Samurai?

All the young ninjas held expectations for ninjutsu.

However, there were a few exceptions.

Some students had already learned some ninjutsu before enrolling.

Not to mention Uchiha Setsuna.

Uchiha Setsuna's current ninja information flashed in his mind.

Chakra Level: Chunin.

General Ninjutsu: Three Basic Jutsu, Shadow Clone Technique.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu, Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Great Fire Dragon Jutsu, Great Fire Annihilation.

Genjutsu: Fox Heart Technique, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique, Genjutsu: Sharingan.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Secret Technique: Mind Invasion.

"Great."

"Finally, we're going to learn ninjutsu."

"Only by learning ninjutsu are you a true ninja."

"I wonder who will learn the fastest."

"It's definitely Uchiha Sasuke."

Most students thought so.

However, many students weren't convinced about Uchiha Sasuke, including Naruto and Kiba Inuzuka. Both of these two harbored dreams of becoming Hokage, but one succeeded while the other failed.

Naruto possessed the prerequisites to become Hokage.

Kiba Inuzuka did not.

"Everyone, quiet down."

Iruka said, "I know you've all been waiting for this day for a long time."

"But soon, you'll learn even more ninjutsu."

"Today, I will be teaching you the Transformation Technique."

"I believe many of you have heard of this ninjutsu."

"As the name suggests, using this ninjutsu allows you to transform into the appearance of another person or even an object."

"I'll demonstrate first."

The next moment, Iruka formed hand seals.

"Transformation Technique!"

The hand seals for the Transformation Technique are simple, making it suitable for young ninjas without a ninjutsu foundation. It also yields quick results. Even if the transformation doesn't perfectly match the intended appearance, it at least allows for some change.

And as long as a change occurs, it can motivate these young ninjas.

This will lead them to invest more passion into their studies at the Ninja Academy.

Iruka transformed into the appearance of a student.

"Class, this is the Transformation Technique."

Iruka's voice even changed to match that of the student.

A wave of exclamations erupted.

"Amazing!"

"Is this ninjutsu? It's truly incredible."

"I want to learn, I want to learn."

Iruka began the formal instruction.

Uchiha Setsuna glanced around. The vast majority of students were very interested. This caused Uchiha Setsuna, who was preparing to get distracted and plan his next move in the Life Simulator, to pause.

Uchiha Setsuna didn't want to be noticed.

"The next Life Simulator matter is actually easy. As long as I give Yakushi Kabuto those photos and tell him the truth about Yakushi Nonō back then, he'll likely believe me."

"Not only can I get a chance to escape, but Yakushi Kabuto might even proactively go after Danzo."

"This way, in the Life Simulator, I'll have a much better chance of gaining more time."

"To raise my Chakra level to Jonin rank."

"Then my plans will proceed more smoothly."

Uchiha Setsuna, like the other students, was diligently learning the Transformation Technique.

"Bang!"

A puff of white smoke exploded.

The next moment, everyone's attention was captured.

Uchiha Sasuke had used the Transformation Technique and transformed into Iruka's likeness, looking very similar to him.

Iruka smiled.

"Sasuke, congratulations."

"You have initially mastered the Transformation Technique. From now on, with continuous practice, you will only get better."

"I hope everyone can learn from Sasuke."

Iruka knew Uchiha Sasuke was very talented, but he was still surprised by Uchiha Sasuke's performance.

He learned the Transformation Technique in such a short time; it was truly amazing.

Iruka recalled that it had taken him a very long time to truly master it back then.

"The gap between people is truly vast."
