Chereads / The Senju Remnants Of The Uchiha Clan / Chapter 9 - Thank You, Uncle

Chapter 9 - Thank You, Uncle

It's time for the lunch break.

All the students in the school came to the playground, eating their lunch boxes and watching the excitement…

The Vice Headmaster's nose was crooked with anger, and he was pointing around with his fingers trembling.

Suiten Sarutobi and Yashiro Uchiha didn't dare to answer at all. They just nodded and bowed while saying sorry non-stop…

Suiten is Asuma's oldest brother, and he happened to be hanging around during the battle, so he was the first to arrive at the crime scene.

As for our uncle Yashiro… He was just a tool called by Setsuna to be scolded.

What? 

Why didn't Setsuna come by himself?

Don't ask because he just can't bring himself to do it.

"Look at this! Our campus environment was so beautiful before, but now it's full of ash! If you don't know, you would think that our students are smoking in groups!"

"I'll pay for it; put it on my account." Suiten Sarutobi patted his chest and promised.

"Look at this huge hole. It has destroyed the playground!"

"I will compensate, I will compensate. Put it on the account of… Setsuna Uchiha!" Yashiro Uchiha patted his chest and promised.

"Look at those trees; they're all burnt!"

"Put it on my account."

"Training equipment that was caught in the explosion…"

"Record it in Setsuna Uchiha's account."

"The shattered glass in the teaching building…"

"Put it on my account."

"Students who were studying hard were all frightened and had psychological trauma…"

"Put it - wait, we're going to have to pay for this too? You want to blackmail us, old man?"

"… "

In the center of the playground, Shiratori and Asuma faced the sun, raised the stone pillars above their heads with both hands and stood in the scorching sun as punishment.

Shiratori was fine, just sweating slightly - mainly due to the sun. He even had the leisure to look around and make eye contact with his classmates who were eating melons in the distance.

Asuma was in a miserable state. He was soaked in sweat, and his body was shaking constantly. 

It was obvious that he couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Hey, aren't you tired?" 

Asuma, with a bruised face, managed to squeeze out some sound from his mouth, but because several of his teeth were knocked out by Shiratori, making his voice was a little shaky.

"I'm tired, I'm really tired—never mind, this joke is too lame."

"Shiratori Uchiha, I know you! I heard that you are the strongest genius from the Uchiha Clan, and your fame is even higher than that guy, Shisui!"

"You have heard of it, yet you dare to fight me… Did you just say Shisui?"

Uchiha Shisui, this name is well-known. Whether in the past life or this life, Shiratori has a deep impression of this name.

Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kotoamatsukami, and Tsukuyomi are the three most powerful illusions in the Shinobi World! 

Being as famous as the other two, it is clear that Kotoamatsukami is not just a joke…

In the clan, whenever people talk about him, they can't help comparing him with Shisui back then. And the result is always… He has a slight advantage!

Unfortunately, Shiratori has never met this legendary man. He rarely returns to the village, and every time he does, he prefers to go to the Hokage.

"Yes, Shisui." 

Asuma lowered the stone pillar he was holding high a little and placed it on his head. "That guy follows Torifu-sama and is stationed at the southeastern camp of the Land of Fire. He will soon be back to report on his duties - hiss! No, my head hurts!"

The southeast camp is located on the southeastern border of the Land of Fire. Its main responsibility is to guard against the Land of Water and the Village Hidden in the Mist. The highest commander is the head of the Akimichi Clan, the Konoha senior ninja, Torifu Akimichi.

Speaking of which, Shisui's famous battle was when he faced Hidden in the Mist during the Third Shinobi World War.

Just by using the name of Shisui of the Body Flicker, they scared the shit out of Ao, a senior ninja of Hidden in the Mist…

"Asuma, you are the son of the Hokage. Do you have some inside information? For example, the estimated time of the start of the Shinobi World War… Asuma?"

Asuma is no longer able to do so.

With his strength completely exhausted, he staggered on the spot, about to fall to the ground.

Bang!

Shiratori stretched out its hand and steadily held the stone pillar above Asuma's head.

"Are you okay?"

Asuma collapsed to the ground; he looked up and saw Shiratori holding his stone pillar in one hand and his own in the other with a relaxed expression.

"… "

What the hell is this monster!?

This scene happened to fall into Suiten Sarutobi and Yashiro Uchiha's eyes as they walked here.

Yashiro was okay, as he had known for a long time that this kid was abnormal, but Suiten was completely shocked.

He looked at Shiratori with his mouth wide open and face full of disbelief.

"No wonder my father insisted that I come over to take a look… "

He thought to himself.

"Shiratori, let's go." 

Yashiro said weakly.

He was criticized by his former teacher, now the Vice Headmaster, and was in a very bad mood.

Sure enough, nothing good happens when you get involved with this kid!

"Oh, I see."

Knowing that he had gotten into trouble, Shiratori nodded obediently, put down the stone, and waved goodbye to Asuma and Suiten.

"Um… Please wait a moment."

Suiten called the two of them. 

He looked at Shiratori who was somewhat puzzled with a warm smile on his face and said: "I heard that you want to join a Jōnin team… My name is Suiten Sarutobi, I hope you can consider it."

Shiratori also responded with a polite smile.

Thanks for the invitation; I'll definitely come back next time!

He doesn't want to have anything to do with the third Hokage…

That old man is a jinx. Whoever touches him will be unlucky!

...…

Three days later, in the eastern suburbs of Konoha.

Today is the day that Shiratori reports to the team.

But he got lost shamefully…

"I know who I am, and I know what I'm going to do… But where the hell am I!"

He usually only hangs out around the Uchiha Clan's territory and the Academy, and he hasn't really visited Konoha yet!

So… Where is this?

"Training ground no. 7… Training ground no. 7… Don't we have a signpost in Konoha? Where are they spending the taxpayers' money?"

Shiratori is so angry; the gathering time is almost here…

"Do you need help?" 

A deep voice sounded from behind.

Shiratori turned around and saw a burly, ferocious-looking middle-aged man walking towards him.

He swallowed his breath; this image… Made people want to take out their wallets involuntarily.

"Excuse me… How do I get to training ground number seven?"

"Number seven?"

The uncle stopped and looked Shiratori up and down.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"No, training ground no. 7 is in that direction. Come with me; I'll take you there."

Shiratori showed a look of surprise.

There are still many good people in this world! Not only did he show me the way, but he also took him there in person!

"Thank you, uncle, for your trouble!" Shiratori bowed.

"Uncle?" 

The burly man paused slightly, opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.

He doesn't know if it's an illusion, but Shiratori feels that this kind-hearted old man seems to have become a little depressed…

Training ground number seven.

After turning left and right, he finally arrived here. Shiratori saw the girl kicking stones boredly in the training ground.

The girl has a pair of rosy, ruby-like eyes and a chubby little face that is pure and cute.

"Finally here, you're so slow - eh?" 

The girl was about to complain when she saw the burly uncle, but then she saw Shiratori following behind.

"Wow! A new member! You are Shiratori Uchiha, right?"

The girl came to Shiratori's side and stretched out her hand with a smile: "Hello, my name is Kurenai, I am your senior! Please give me your guidance!"

"Hello, senior Kurenai." Shiratori shook hands with Kurenai, then said a little embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, senior Kurenai, I accidentally got lost just now, so I'm so slow… By the way, thanks to this uncle for bringing me here."

"Uncle… "

Kurenai was stunned. 

She first looked at Shiratori's serious expression and then looked at the expressionless, sturdy figure standing next to Shiratori…

Then the little girl started laughing like crazy!

"Hahahahahaha… Ibiki, how many times have people mistaken you for an uncle?"

The muscles on Ibiki's face kept twitching, but he still stretched out his hand to Shiratori: "Hello Shiratori, I'm Ibiki Morino, your teammate and senior… So from now on, please don't call me uncle! I'm only eleven years old!"

Shiratori: "…"

Is this eleven years old?

So embarrassing!

Seriously, you look older than my unreliable dad!

And with this image… No one would dare to bargain when he goes out to collect protection fees!
