Chapter 16

Ninja School, Class A classroom.

Lian Ye found a seat and sat down, observing the surrounding children without changing expression.

These guys will be his future classmates.

"Just enrolled, everyone isn't very familiar yet, let's do self-introductions one by one." The homeroom teacher crossed his arms and said, "I'll go first, I'm Senju Takuma, your homeroom teacher for the next six years."

Lian Ye raised his eyebrows, thinking the homeroom teacher seemed familiar; turns out he's a member of the Senju Clan, maybe they'd met before.

"You start." Senju Takuma casually pointed to a Byakugan child in the front row.

That child stood up, arrogantly looking around: "I'm Hinata Yuki, from the Hyuga Clan."

Some children immediately showed envious expressions.

"Wow, the Hyuga are a big clan!"

Hinata Yuki curled the corners of his mouth, taking in everyone's envy.

"Tch, that's it?"

At that moment, a disdainful snort suddenly came from the classroom.

Upon hearing that, the classroom instantly fell silent, and everyone turned toward the sound.

Only seen, in the back row of the classroom, a brat coldly stared at Hinata Yuki, his eyes full of disdain.

That gaze seemed to be looking at ants.

His clothes were embroidered with the Uchiha Clan's fan emblem.

Obviously, this is a member of the Uchiha Clan.

Moreover, three kids wearing the Uchiha Clan's fan sat around him, two of them likewise showing disdain.

"Uchiha?" Lian Ye was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected there to be three fellow clan members in the class.

The Orphanage Director once told Lian Ye that Orphanage children don't enter Ninja School; they are guided by Jonin of the Security Forces and will directly join the Security Forces later.

In other words, that brat Uchiha Shun has a high chance of securing that iron rice bowl of the Security Forces.

The origin of the Security Forces differs from what Lian Ye knows.

In the original story, the Security Forces were established during the tenure of Qianshou Feijian; at that time Konoha faced internal and external troubles, the Uchiha gradually grew dissatisfied with Senju's monopoly over Konoha, so Qianshou Feijian established the Konoha Security Force, with most positions filled by Uchiha Clan's Members, to express trust in the Uchiha.

But here, the Security Forces were established right from the founding of Konoha.

Those four Uchiha noticed Lian Ye's gaze; three showed contempt and disgust, while the last one smiled and nodded at him.

Lian Ye: "???"

What the hell is going on?!

How do these guys have such great hostility toward me?

Lian Ye: I've never provoked anyone!

Hmm... Zhi Cun Tuan Cang doesn't count; that old brat is deliberately picking a fight!

Hinata Yuki was furious, but seeing the opposition outnumbered him, he could only sit down sulking.

"Nara Motoya, likes quiet, dislikes trouble."

"Shuihu Menyan."

"Zhuan Qin Xiaochun."

Lian Ye looked at the two, thinking: 【Are these the two future Hokage Advisors?】

If he remembers correctly, these two seem to live quite long.

Yuanfei Rizhan.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang.

Halfway through the self-introductions, it was Lian Ye's turn.

"I'm Yuzhi Bo Lianye."

After saying that, just as he was about to sit down, he heard a mocking voice from behind: "Heh, Uchiha? I think you're Senju!"

Lian Ye narrowed his eyes, turned his head to look at the Uchiha who spoke.

He finally understood why these guys were so hostile toward him—they were treating him as a traitor to the Uchiha!

"Shut your mouths, or I'll make you regret it!" Lian Ye said coldly.

"Haha, you're killing me."

"A traitor is a traitor; why can't we say it?"

Several Uchiha exchanged glances, couldn't help laughing, and didn't take Lian Ye seriously at all.

As an Uchiha adopted by the Senju, this is literally a slap to the Uchiha Clan's face—he is the Uchiha's disgrace!

"You guys shouldn't do that..." The Uchiha who had previously smiled at Lian Ye spoke up to stop them.

"Just now I was busy talking about him and forgot about you; you're also a disgrace to the Uchiha!"

"How can you guys do this..."

"Alright, quiet down a bit!" Senju Takuma frowned and scolded.

Upon hearing that, the few Uchiha Xiao Gui finally grudgingly closed their mouths.

"Yuzhi Bo Lianye, you may sit down."

Lian Ye unhappily glanced at the three Uchiha, then sat back down in his chair.

Damn it! Bullying people, and now it's come back to bite me!

I must make them know why the flower is so red!

Finally, it was those few Uchiha's turn to introduce themselves.

The leading Uchiha, acting as pretentious as if he were 2.58 million, arrogantly said: "I'm Uchiha Reifeng!"

The other two were the same.

Uchiha Yan!

Uchiha Lin!

What surprised Lian Ye was that even though these three were insufferable, nobody dared to stand up and voice their displeasure.

It seems they were wary of the Uchiha Clan's background.

Lian Ye sighed helplessly, "Finally I understand why Senju Feijian was always on guard against the Uchiha..."

The Uchiha clansmen are strong, moreover very arrogant, their temperament easily turns extreme, and a little carelessness leads them to do dangerous things.

The clan's reputation with outsiders has been completely ruined by these guys.

Adding the Security Forces position, it's already easy to incur grudges.

If this continues, the Uchiha Clan will surely be doomed!

Lian Ye couldn't help but admire Senju Feijian's political acumen.

Even knowing the Uchiha's bad temperament, assigning them to the Security Forces is a clever move!

Thus, the Uchiha have no hope of attaining the Hokage position.

Madara Uchiha perhaps saw through the scheme, which is why he planned to lead the clan away to establish their own independence.

Unfortunately, no clan members were willing to follow him.

As fellow founders of Konoha, the Uchiha Clan not only lack the Hokage position, they didn't even manage to get an advisory role—how tragic!

Speaking of tragic, the Senju Clan didn't fare much better.

Three Ninja World Wars directly wiped out the Senju Clan.

However, the Uchiha Clan only lasted a few years before following the Senju's path... they were annihilated.

Speaking of which, that's pretty abstract.

The two most powerful clans of the Warring States Period jointly founded Konoha Village, yet both ended in annihilation.

"Hello everyone, I am Uchiha Jing!"

At that moment, the introduction of the last Uchiha brought Lian Ye back to his senses.

"Turns out this guy is Uchiha Jing!"

Uchiha Jing's personality is nothing like that of a typical Uchiha.

No wonder he would later become a disciple of Senju Feijian.

The self-introduction ended.

"No classes in the morning; let's get acquainted this afternoon we'll have proper lessons." Senju Takuma said, "Come, a few students, let's go move books with the teacher."

Having said that, he led a few students out of the classroom.

Lian Ye gazed listlessly out the window, his face full of impatience.

"I hate going to school."

Usually at this time he'd be training on the training ground, but now he has to suffer sitting in the classroom.

His classmates are still a bunch of problem children...
