"Kirito-kun, have you heard? Itachi-kun seems to be graduating early. He has only been enrolled for one year, and he's already graduated. That's amazing!" Uchiha Izumi looked out the window at Uchiha Itachi, who was the center of attention of thousands, and spoke to Fujiwara Kirito, who was standing beside her.
"It's really amazing," Fujiwara Kirito praised without reservation.
Before they knew it, the two had been together for a year.
Although Fujiwara Kirito seldom came to school, through the memories of his shadow clone, he had come to deeply understand that Izumi was a gentle, kind, and considerate girl.
At this time, there were still six years before the Uchiha clan was exterminated.
Fujiwara Kirito was not such a saint as to save the entire Uchiha clan. Even if he tried, people might not be willing to believe him.
But it would be wrong to let Uchiha Izumi die at the hands of two lunatics, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito.
Perhaps, by that time, it would be time to leave this village.
After all, his original plan was to join the Akatsuki Group.
That Konan... Ugh, the red cloud and black robe—I've been craving it for a long time.
"And Kirito-kun is also very capable. If Kirito-kun took the graduation exam now, he would definitely be able to graduate early." At this moment, Uchiha Izumi's voice interrupted Fujiwara Kirito's thoughts.
"You flatter me too much," Fujiwara Kirito said modestly.
In terms of talent alone, Uchiha Itachi was a true genius.
His combat IQ was extremely high. If it weren't for the bonus of his martial arts, Fujiwara Kirito believed that he was far inferior to Uchiha Itachi.
The only shortcoming was emotional intelligence, which was almost zero.
It was no wonder that in the original work, while being feared by Obito, Itachi was also played around by Konoha's top leadership.
"No, Kirito-kun is really amazing." Uchiha Izumi whispered in Kirito's ear, her warm breath and pearl-like voice entering his ears, "Kirito-kun must be like Itachi-kun, always using shadow clones to learn."
"How did you find out?" Kirito looked at Uchiha Izumi in surprise.
Although he knew that she activated the Sharingan because she lost her parents on the night of the Nine-Tails attack, the Sharingan did not have the ability to identify shadow clones; it could only be inferred by comparing them with the original body. But he almost never showed his original body and shadow clone at the same time in front of outsiders.
"Kirito-kun, a girl's heart is always more delicate than you think." Uchiha Izumi took a step back, closed her left eye slightly, forming a shallow crescent, and said with her red lips slightly parted.
"Then tell me, am I real or fake now?" Kirito was clearly intrigued, with a faint smile on his face.
"Hmm." Uchiha Izumi covered her lips with her jade hand, looked Kirito up and down again, pondered for a moment, and said affirmatively: "Real. No matter how similar a clone is, it is still a clone after all. Only the eyes can't deceive. Just like Kirito-kun, his eyes have been different recently. It should be because he saw Itachi-kun was discovered as a shadow clone and was worried about being exposed, so he used his real body to go to school."
"You are really smart, but perhaps only you could discover this. Who else would pay attention to me every day like you do?" Kirito showed a gentle smile on his face, and his right hand inadvertently stroked Uchiha Izumi's head.
This made Uchiha Izumi blush. Kirito smiled awkwardly and quickly withdrew his hand, "Sorry. Sorry, Izumi is so cute, I couldn't help myself."
Uchiha Izumi nodded bashfully, turned her back to Kirito, raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "Kirito-kun is too cunning."
The actions of the two were seen by several girls in the corner of the classroom, and gossip was instantly ignited in their hearts.
"Wow. Kirito-san and Izumi-san are so sweet. How come I never noticed this handsome guy Kirito-san before? So kawaii."
"That's because you only have eyes for Itachi-san. I've been supporting this couple Kirito-san and Izumi-san for a long time."
"Is it true? Tell me now!"
"I want to listen too!"
The Hokage's exclusive office.
"Sir Third hokage , this is the information on Fujiwara Kirito and his parents that you requested." An Anbu ninja handed the information respectfully to the Third hokage .
[Name: Fujiwara Kirito
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: November 10th
Parents: Ichiro Fujiwara (deceased), Rika Fujiwara (deceased)
Blood type: O
Ninja Way: Protect Konoha, don't want to see bloodshed again
Hobby: Helping old ladies cross the street.
The person I admire most: The Third Hokage.
Dream: To become a great ninja like the Third Hokage.
Instructor's evaluation: He is an outstanding civilian talent. If he is nurtured, his achievements will be no less than those of children from famous families.]
The third Hokage took the information and quickly scanned it. Overall, he was quite satisfied. Whether it was shuriken, kunai throwing, or other aspects, they were all excellent, and there were basically no shortcomings.
Although he was not as dazzling as Uchiha Itachi, one must not forget that Fujiwara Kirito was just a commoner.
Firstly, he didn't have the excellent bloodline like Uchiha Itachi, and secondly, he didn't have the training of a big family. It was already very good that he could grow to this point.
But this was not the point. The most important thing was that he saw the Will of Fire in this young man. Anyone who could admire Sarutobi Hiruzen and dream of becoming a great ninja like him must have a high level of ideological awareness.
And what he needed was exactly this kind of civilian genius.
"The Fujiwara family has given birth to a good son." The third Hokage lit his pipe, puffed out smoke, and sighed in his heart. After a moment, he asked again, "How are this child's interpersonal relationships?"
"Basically, he can get along well with his classmates, but..." At this point, the Anbu ninja's voice stopped abruptly.
"Go on?" Third hokage tapped his pipe and raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, his expression showing no emotion.
"Fujiwara Kirito seems to have a good relationship with a little girl from the Uchiha family. It is said that on the night of the Nine-Tails invasion, Fujiwara Kirito once saved the little girl from the Uchiha family, and the two became acquainted because of this." Nowadays, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha is becoming increasingly tense, and Uchiha is now a sensitive topic.
"Is that so?" The Third Hokage's frown instantly relaxed, and he had an idea in mind. Perhaps, he could use the child's admiration for him to brainwash him—oh no, enlighten him, and let him find out information about the Uchiha clan for Konoha. Observe whether he is suspected of rebellion.
But before that, the child needed to become a real ninja.
Thinking of this, the Third hokage said to the Anbu ninja: "Let the school take good care of that child and try to make him grow up as soon as possible. The village needs such talents."
"Yes," the Anbu ninja responded respectfully, and then he used the instant body-flash technique to suddenly disappear from the room.
Looking at the place where the Anbu ninja disappeared, the Third hokage lit his cigarette again, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and sighed: "Peace!"
