"Revitalizing the Uchiha clan?"
The way to revitalize the Uchiha clan is, of course, to have more children, and the prerequisite for having more children is naturally to find more female ninjas…
It had only been a joke, something to tease Sasuke about his perpetually stoic face, but he'd taken it seriously.
Uchiha Kage, at the Ninja Academy, gazed out the window, silently complaining to himself.
Oh well, might as well continue to reminisce about last night's jackpot.
"G-Good morning, Kage-san."
Before Uchiha Kage could drift off too far, a short-haired girl who gave him the Byakugan glare every day quietly sat down nearby.
Hyuga Hinata.
The sunlight streaming into the classroom framed the edges of her short hair with gold, and her fair face, seen up close, revealed fine downy hairs, creating a cute and saintly halo from afar.
The Hyuga Main Family's young lady was as quiet and lovely as ever today, sitting there like a small white flower blooming silently.
"Morning."
Uchiha Kage shifted his gaze from the window to the little white flower next to him, not stopping until he'd stared at her long enough to turn her into a little pink flower.
It wasn't that he wanted to tease this shy girl, nor was it for the sake of revitalizing the Uchiha clan, but…
He always felt like her pair of crystal-clear Byakugan were spying on his important bits every day.
If he didn't look back, he felt like he was losing out.
But, come to think of it, this girl in her teenage years was remarkably developed for her age. Her legs were just the right length, her skin was as white as snow, and she smelled wonderful, a subtle but pleasant scent unlike any perfume.
Her slender hands also seemed delicate and boneless, probably someone I could amuse myself with for a year… except that, because this young lady practiced Ninja Body Techniques so diligently, her fingers were covered in scars that had healed and reopened, slightly detracting from their appeal.
"Kage-san…"
Subconsciously hiding her hands in her sleeves and tucking her legs together under the desk, Hinata called out the name of the boy next to her, overcome with shyness.
Why does Kage-san stare at me every day?
Could it be…
Because he hates her, he's staring at her, looking for an opportunity to beat her up?
Of course, Hinata had considered other possibilities, but—
"I won, Forehead!"
"I got here first, Ino Pig!"
The noisy voices coming from the classroom door interrupted the conversation between Hinata and Uchiha Kage.
And the Ninja Academy day began with two girls who started arguing as soon as they entered.
----
Swish, swish, swish.
The Shuriken and Kunai hit the center of the target in the training grounds with great precision.
Graduation was approaching, and recently the school had been increasing the number of Ninja Body Techniques tests.
"Sasuke-kun is so cool!"
"My Kage is even cooler!"
Unlike Haruno Sakura, who could only moon over Sasuke in her fantasies, Yamanaka Ino brazenly clung to Uchiha Kage's arm, showing him off to everyone.
As for Hyuga Hinata, who was sitting alone on the grass, hugging her knees, she could only stare blankly at the boy who had been sitting next to her, now embraced by another Yellow-hair girl.
As expected, Kage-san likes pretty girls like Ino…
"Can't you be a little more reserved?"
Looking at her dressed-up "good friend" not only clinging to Uchiha Kage's arm but also pressing her soft mounds against him, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but frown.
"Just say you're jealous. My Kage hasn't said anything, so what's it to you?"
There were only two good-looking boys in the class, and Sakura, the unlucky one, had chosen the cold one.
Ino held the boy next to her tightly while sticking her tongue out at Sakura with glee.
"Alright, it's too hot. Let me rest for a while."
Although the feeling of the soft mounds was quite pleasant, Uchiha Kage only felt hot.
Besides, cuteness was nothing compared to sex appeal. Compared to the mounds in front of him, Uchiha Kage still missed last night's jackpot.
However, he didn't know why, but unlike in the original story, Ino didn't like Sasuke along with Sakura; instead, she had fallen for him.
"Sorry, I forgot about your health…"
Ino quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the boy's face.
Although Uchiha Kage was very good at throwing Shuriken, it was common knowledge at school that his body was weak.
"It's okay."
When Uchiha Kage first came here, he was indeed quite weak, but after all these years, he had almost recovered to a healthy level.
Not to mention the boost he got last night after obtaining the ninja fragment.
Patting Ino's head, Uchiha Kage told her to put away the handkerchief.
"Okay…"
Although she was usually quite bold, Ino couldn't help but blush when the person she liked suddenly patted her head, and even her voice became much quieter.
"I'm not… jealous!"
Haruno Sakura gritted her teeth and turned her face away, not wanting to see her best friend's smug face anymore.
But, if Sasuke was as gentle as Kage-san…
The pink-haired girl secretly glanced at Uchiha Kage standing next to Ino, then looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who was already sitting under the shade of a tree, radiating a "do not disturb" aura, and stomped her feet helplessly.
"Next up is the ninja sparring exercise!"
Seeing that the students had practiced their Shuriken throwing enough, Iruka, as the Teacher of the school, directed these soon-to-graduate students to the next item.
"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, step forward!"
----
[You have obtained Ninja Academy Student Naruto's Fragment X1]
Huh? Not just in that 'dream,' but I can pick up ninja fragments in reality too?
Looking at the ninja fragment that appeared on the open ground after Sasuke and Naruto's battle, Uchiha Kage couldn't help but widen his eyes.
It wasn't until he picked it up and merged with it that he was finally convinced that it was real.
He'd thought this cheat was a nighttime thing, but it's been running all along.
"Winner, Uchiha Sasuke! Now perform the Seal of Reconciliation."
Iruka was slightly surprised. In the past, Naruto always lost quickly to Sasuke, but this time he had persisted for a long time, forcing Sasuke to use the Three-Body Technique to win.
Although he's the Nine-Tailed Fox, he has indeed improved somewhat.
"Damn it!"
Naruto slammed his fist on the ground in frustration.
He could lose to anyone, but losing to Sasuke made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Deadlast."
Sasuke once again said his "term of endearment" for Naruto.
"What did you say!?"
So, the two who were originally performing the Seal of Reconciliation quickly grabbed each other's collars and began to wrestle untidily on the grass.
"Damn Naruto, let go of Sasuke!"
The girls in the class, led by Sakura, condemned Naruto for being a sore loser, then looked at Sasuke with infatuated expressions.
"You two… stop it!"
Iruka helplessly stopped Naruto and Sasuke from fighting.
But he was pretty much used to it.
Because this always happened after every sparring exercise.
"Next group, Hyuga Hinata, Uchiha Kage!"
