LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 16: Cave
Cave
The next day, the academy was quiet. I think the clan heard about the skirmishes, but no one said anything. Only Hyuga and Nami looked at me with murderous eyes. Well, I'll survive that somehow. The Hokage had to intervene in the incident. From the outside, it looked like he was punishing the clans that crossed the line. The city council liked it.
But in fact, he made a deal with the Uchiha clan. The deal was that the clan would keep all the missions, and the clan would give 30 elite shinobi to the ANBU. The clan chose.
I wouldn't say that they are really elite. But they are all strong shinobi. As soon as (my father) found out that Jiraiya would be my teacher, he almost exploded with joy.
The whole clan celebrated. By the way, that's where I saw the heir to the Uchiha Fugaku. He looked at me with a very envious look. I tried not to show him my look full of contempt. This man killed the Uchiha clan. He couldn't raise his son. It's certainly not easy and there are a lot of complications in this process, but how often does a son kill his parents? I also think it's rare. And how did he let another faction seize power? I don't know what happened there, but now everyone obeys the head of the clan without question. What happened there? I didn't even talk to him that evening.
So half a year passed, the incident was forgotten and everyone lives on.
During these six months, I learned the name of the great elder. And I understood why everyone calls him the great elder. His name is fucking Uchiha Madara. When I found out, I froze for about 30 minutes. As it turned out, he was a friend of Madara's father. And he saved his life more than once. So the friend repaid the great honor by naming his firstborn after his friend. As sensei joked, he himself considered it a great honor until the battle in the Valley of the End. No, well imagine how they hated Madara then. And you are Uchiha and you have the same names. It must have been very awkward.
Over the past six months, I have grown a lot in terms of strength. I won't say that I can beat Genin, but I am the best in my class.
Here you can ask yourself how people who know only three basic jutsu are able to defeat me. Just physically. Yes, I can't compete with them. They are more formed, and also physically stronger. When they finish, they are fully formed shinobi. From now on, they will only grow and increase their chakra. Their chakra channels have strengthened and their tenketsu have fully formed. I don't have this. It is much more difficult for me to do what would have been easy at their age.
And this is how you can understand the incredible monsters who, for some reason, are called geniuses. Itachi Uchiha, Hatake Kakashi, Shisui Uchiha, Minato Namikaze. They all defeated adult competent shinobi before they were fully formed. That is why they were so admired. Their achievements are incredible.
I could find Minato and try my hand at him. But finding him is not that easy. Yes, he is famous, but even so, there are many people in the village and it is not easy to find him. So I decided to rely on fate and not look for him.
Today I have a day off and I decided to go to the forest for mushrooms. In my past life, I often went out like this. I don't know, just walking through the forest and picking mushrooms somehow makes it easier for me. It drives away thoughts and after the trip it seems like it is easier to breathe. So in this world, I decided to relax. But I quickly realized the problem - I just don't know many mushrooms. At the academy, we had not yet studied survival. And in the clan they believe that if you survive on the battlefield, you can somehow cope with the forest. Realizing that I would not pick mushrooms, I just decided to walk through the forest. After all, the trees here are very tall.
So while walking, I found a cave. Entering it, I began to look around. And a kunai flew at me.
