"Yo, Haryu, do you think you can make it into the special class?" Naruto asked casually, completely ignoring the fact that Haryu was already on a different level than them.
"I think, I'll definitely make it." This wasn't just simple confidence, it was conviction. But as he said this, Naruto wasn't really listening, he was absentmindedly looking at the roadside.
"Naruto?" Haryu asked a little concerned. After all, the somewhat goofy Naruto usually stuck to Haryu like glue. But now, he didn't know what he was thinking!
"Stupid." Sasuke saw Naruto spacing out and directly cursed at him.
"Ah, uh. Ah! Sasuke, say that again!" Suddenly, Naruto seemed to realize something, he turned around and started to yell at Sasuke, while behind them, a whisper came: "Wow, that's Haryu! He's so handsome!"
"Yeah, that Sasuke guy is handsome too!"
They all heard these words, and Naruto, of course, noticed that the girls didn't mention him. The impatient Naruto wanted to run over and argue, after all, the girls he liked were nearby! How could he not give himself some face.
"You guys..." He had just turned his upper body when Naruto's mouth was covered, and he was forcefully pulled back.
"Haryu! What are you doing?" Naruto was incredibly well-behaved towards Haryu, for some reason, he didn't dare to object at all.
Haryu rubbed his hand hard on Naruto's body, and said to him with a pleasant smile: "Speak with your strength, we're future ninjas now, what's the use of being good-looking?"
"Right, I want to become the strongest Hokage!" Naruto was immediately distracted. Of course, ninjas rely on strength to speak, if you're good-looking, people won't give you a break on the battlefield.
"If you're not good-looking, you won't have a girlfriend." Sasuke's cutting remark pulled Naruto, who was on the right path, straight down from his pedestal.
"Sasuke, you're stupid! Sasuke, you're an idiot!" Their daily routine, it probably wouldn't change in their lifetime.
…
"We're here." Haryu didn't try to stop Naruto and Sasuke, he just calmly told them the fact, and the effect was completely different on the two of them.
Naruto ran off again. But Sasuke, with his full-blown edginess, turned around, looked straight at Haryu, raised his fist, and said arrogantly: "The Uchiha clan is undefeated! Haryu, I'm going to defeat you here!"
Huh? Haryu was instantly dumbfounded, his steps were a little uncoordinated. On the first day of school, Sasuke had already issued a challenge, what kind of deep grudge was this?
"Sasuke, calm down. Words are meant to be kept. Otherwise, wouldn't that be losing face for your Uchiha clan? You should know this very well, so I'm giving you a chance, take it back." Haryu once again showed a calmness and composure that was far beyond a six-year-old child. How could a child so young even consider these things?
Obviously, Sasuke didn't. "I don't care, I'm going to defeat you! I'll bet the Uchiha…" At this point, his mouth was also covered.
"You can defeat me if you want, but don't bet the Uchiha clan. You can't afford to lose." Then, he rubbed his hand on Sasuke's clothes and went to find Naruto. He had run too far.
"I, can't afford to lose…" Although Sasuke had a mild case of mysophobia, he didn't care about the saliva on his clothes at this moment, he was still thinking about what Haryu meant. What did he mean, he couldn't afford to lose? Could it be that his strength wasn't worthy of bearing the name Uchiha?
Maybe, after all, he was just a little kid who hadn't awakened his Byakugan. No one would care.
"I'm still not worthy. I'm not as good as my brother." Thinking of his brother, Sasuke was a little happier. After all, his gentle brother was his goal, and he was the motivation that pushed him to keep training.
"Brother..." Then he looked up and walked towards the school with confidence.
Iruka-sensei was still standing at the entrance of the school building, announcing the classes and rankings to the incoming freshmen.
"Yo, Sasuke. Second place, special class! Go inside, Naruto and Haryu are waiting for you. You're in the same class."
"So warm. Iruka-sensei's teaching must be great." Sasuke thought. Don't look at Sasuke's seemingly stoic exterior, he had a lot of inner drama. Maybe he had only experienced reality once, but his heart was replaying different scenarios over and over again.
"Sasuke's here. Let's go, let's find our instructor." Haryu said, leading the way.
Although he didn't know where the classroom was, or who the instructor was.
"Haryu, your class is on the training ground, there are already classmates there!" Iruka's warm voice came from behind, Haryu felt as if he had been pardoned, and he let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't easy to pretend to know something you didn't.
From afar, a shout came: "Big Brother Haryu! I could smell you from miles away! Come here!" With such a good sense of smell, and calling Haryu big brother, this was obviously Inuzuka Kiba. He was keeping his promise, he was a good little brother.
"Yo, Haryu, want some chips?" Choji still had chips in his hand, and he also couldn't stop talking about them.
Everyone who had performed well yesterday was here, even Sakura and Ino were in this class, a total of ten… wait, why were there three more people over there? They hadn't been there yesterday.
Could it be that even the Ninja Academy had back doors?
The answer was obvious, but Haryu was indeed a little suspicious.
"My name is Haryu, nice to meet you!" Haryu took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and among the three, a boy with extremely thick eyebrows stood up, bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, perfectly presenting his watermelon head to Haryu.
"Just a handshake..."
"My name is Rock Lee! Please… nice to meet you!" Haryu was a little flustered, he really just wanted to shake hands, get to know these three people a little, he wasn't trying to take them as students or apprentices or anything. This boy, who looked a couple of years older than him, was just overreacting in his eyes.
"You guys..."
"Are you questioning our identities? We're geniuses from the previous year, specially recruited into this class. If you ask me, what right do you have to make Konoha's higher-ups create a special class? Is it fate again?" The other boy, sitting in the corner, spoke up, clearly a little unfriendly. Hinata, who was sitting in another corner of the room, twitched at the corner of her eyes and trembled all over, like a child who had done something wrong.
The boy's eyes were also white. Haryu guessed a little. He had heard stories about the main family and the branch family of the Hyuga clan. But this boy in front of him was? He hated fate so much, he must be a member of the branch family. But he was so arrogant, even calling himself a genius, Haryu couldn't think of someone like this.
"No need to be nice, my name is Hyuga Neji. I'll beat each of you back to the regular class. In the face of fate, you are powerless!" This Neji also had immense confidence, he felt that no one else here was worthy except for him.
Haryu, with his age-inappropriate strength, had naturally developed a slow-burning arrogance.
"Hyuga Neji. I'll be watching." After saying that, he turned and left.
"You arrogant old fart! I'll beat you to a pulp!" Naruto couldn't stand this anymore. After all, he was the third best among the freshmen, and now he was being dismissed as worthless by an unknown senior, especially since the girl he had his eye on was present, how could he stand for this!?
"Naruto, don't be a fool." After thinking at the school gate, Sasuke had now gotten a clearer picture. He really wasn't strong enough, at least not as strong as Haryu, and he could feel the pressure emanating from the Hyuga clan's genius boy, so he naturally agreed with Haryu's choice.
"What! You think I'll be a fool!? I…" His mouth was covered again, and he was forcefully dragged away.
"Haryu, interesting." Neji, still sitting in the corner with his arms crossed, was a little interested in the boy. He had spoken like that, and yet he remained calm, unlike the yellow-haired boy next to him, who was quick to anger. It was rare to have such a quality from a young age. "It's fate, isn't it."
Fate was the hurdle that Neji couldn't overcome.
The fate of being caged as a caged bird for life.
By the main family.
Half an hour had passed since the class was supposed to start, but the instructor still hadn't appeared. Kiba and Naruto, with their impatient personalities, had already set up a bunch of childish traps at the entrance, in the corridor, and so on.
Another half an hour passed, and finally, a white-haired man wearing a jōnin uniform, a black mask, and a Konoha forehead protector covering his left eye, walked in.
"You're our instructor, right? Why are you late!" The first to question him was Sakura, she pointed her finger at the man's nose angrily.
"Sorry, I..."
"Blackboard Eraser Technique, successful, hahahahahahaha!" A series of laughter came from Naruto, he was already rolling on the ground. "A jōnin can't even dodge this trap, hahahahaha!"
"You're going to go to..."
"Floor Collapse Technique, successful! Haha." This time, it was Inuzuka Kiba's trap. A large piece of wood collapsed directly downwards, and the surrounding pieces of wood entangled the instructor's legs.
"You little brats..." He muttered: "It seems like you won't listen to me unless I give you a little taste of my power." One dead fish eye scanned everyone present calmly, the next second, the person disappeared.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Multi-Heart Severing Technique!
Twelve shadow clones plus the main body, corresponding to thirteen students, instantly sealed all the students into the ground.
"I saw a stray cat on my way to school, so I took it back to its mother. I searched for a long time. Sorry I'm late."
Now he started his formal apology, what a strange opening! Now, all the students were subdued, you have to know, even Haryu, or the two Byakugan from the Hyuga clan, hadn't felt this kind of attack.
This was a jōnin, wasn't it? His strength was truly formidable.
"My name is Kakashi Hatake, I'm proficient in ninjutsu, I know a little about taijutsu and genjutsu, they call me the Copy Ninja. For the next four years, this will be your journey to become stronger, I will be your instructor. Remember, you're going to school two years less than the regular class, so there's a reason you need to master it better. So, please go easy on me."
