--- After about half a year
Yuta successfully joined Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato as Hiruzen's new students after last year's competition. Surprisingly, Hiruzen had already wanted to take these two as students, and with Yuta's appearance, he accepted them as students together.
Yuta spent most of his time training with Minato and Kushina and often went to school to study in his special class.
The special class was different from the other classes in that it focused on developing general combat ability. It was as if the sole purpose of this class was to produce a group of specialized combat weapons.
Since there was no age difference during the establishment of the class, many important characters were already part of this class, even Guy, who entered the school at a later time.
(W.N. I just noticed by chance that Morino Ibiki and Kakashi are close in age. Ignore it. He looks much older anyway. )
Yuta was assigned to the same class as Kakashi, Rin, Obito, Asuma, Guy, Shizune, Yuhi Kurenai, and many other well-known names. Since the first day of class, Shizune and Yuta have become more and more friendly, but lately, Shizune has been thinking that something is wrong with Yuta, because he hasn't been talking to her much lately.
The main reason for this was that Yuta wanted to slowly put his plan into action. During one of their lessons from Hiruzen, Yuta asked Hiruzen when this special class would graduate and got a surprising answer. The classes for the special class students would last for another year at most, unless Hiruzen was satisfied with them, in which case the class would end immediately and all students would continue their education under the supervision of their sensei.
Kakashi had already tried to graduate early but had been rejected by the Hokage. This showed how serious Hiruzen was about this.
Yuta sat cross-legged in the bright sun and focused on these thoughts. He no longer wanted to fall asleep as soon as he stepped out into the sun like he used to. In fact, the only reason for his success was Sarutobi Hiruzen himself. When Hiruzen noticed that Yuta took on a different personality the moment he stepped out into the sun, he decided that this was a psychological illness that he could overcome, and he really helped him.
Yuta now practiced what he called yoga under the sun in his free time, building up his resistance to the sun. Every time Yuta went out in the sun, he could feel the benefits of his training. His stats were still weakening under the sun, probably because it was a curse, but the sun no longer affected him psychologically as much as before.
Yuta stopped thinking about these details and thought about his plan to survive in Konoha. He had long ago fully grasped how his innate ability worked, people's bad feelings towards him improved his stats. It was as simple as that... But who wanted to live with being hated by everyone?
After that competition, he could already feel that people around the world hated him. Probably none other than the kagé and ninja of other villages who found out that Konoha had a new genius.
This was already increasing Yuta's daily growth speed like crazy. Before that contest, his cursed energy had been increasing by an average of one hundred points per day, but after the contest, with his growing fame, his daily cursed energy gain had risen to almost three hundred points.
Thinking that even his current powers would be insufficient to survive in this cursed world, Yuta began to think of a way to increase his cursed energy gain months ago.
In the end, he decided to act like a berserker while striking a perfect balance so that the entire ninja world would hate him. He was supposed to be like a tailed beast, but after the battle, he would pretend to be sorry for what he had done and make the ninja of Konoha forgive him so that he would not be sealed like a tailed beast.
What Yuta was more afraid of was that the people around him, even Tsunade and Shizune, would turn away from him. Since his fame would spread all over the ninja world after what he was going to do, even if he left the village, the only place he could put his head would be Akatsuki. That was his plan B, but he didn't want to leave with Tsunade.
Over the past period of time, even though he tried to hide it and not admit it, he had started to have feelings for Tsunade that were not right. After losing everyone he loved, would he really win even if he was the strongest in the whole world?
That's why the game Yuta would have to play in the future involved a great risk; if he didn't get strong enough he would be fucked by aliens, but if he got too strong he would be banished to a prison of loneliness.
While Yuta was lost in his thoughts, the students who saw him sleeping on his usual rock in the schoolyard ignored him and continued chatting among themselves. "Isn't it strange that Sakumo-sama really made such a clumsy mistake?"
The other boy scolded his friend, telling him that Sakumo was not worthy to be addressed with the -sama suffix. "Don't ever refer to that man with such respect again. Yesterday when my parents were talking I heard that the war had to be prolonged for years because of him, so he is the killer of all the Konoha ninjas who will die for years to come!"
When the children realized that Yuta had opened his eyes and was watching them, they immediately apologized for speaking so loudly and walked away from the school. After all, the boy Yuta had hit with the Bala was still being treated in the Konoha hospital.
Yuta sighed deeply as he looked at the backs of the children from civilian families. This was already the third time he had heard this conversation today.
