Ninja academy.
It was not yet school time, the training ground was crowded and a large crowd of children had gathered to watch the fight.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Element: Great Fireball Jutsu)
One boy quickly performed the hand seals and opened his mouth towards the few people in front of him, startling some of them, only for a small flame to come out.
After a brief silence, the children recovered from their shock and began to laugh.
"You call that a Jutsu?!"
"Hit him!"
"...You idiot, teach me the trick!"
Seven or eight kids started a fight, they were elementary school students and basically didn't know any Jutsu and were just sparring, two of them, who were a bit older, were fighting decently and you could even see that they were using the Cloning Jutsu and other simple Jutsus.
The crowd of kids, from those cheering to those freaking out at the chaos, made for a chaotic scene as it was too early for any of the ninja masters to come and take charge.
"What are you looking at?"
Yeruashi appeared near the training ground, glanced at it briefly, then stepped forward and patted the shoulder of a figure standing at the edge of the crowd.
Startled, Kurenai turned her head to look at the Yeruashi and immediately sighed in relief, saying, "Good morning, Yeruashi."
"Good morning."
Yeruashi smiled at Kurenai and said, "Come on, let's go to class."
He didn't have much interest in watching the kids fighting
Kurenai looked at the center of the fight, hesitated for a moment and said, "That..."
"Hmm?"
Yeruashi looked at her.
Kurenai said helplessly, "The defeated child, Yana..."
Yeruashi confused said, "Yana?"
Kurenai pointed to one of the children involved in the fight, "There he is, his name is Yuhi Yana, my cousin..."
I've never heard of him.
Yeruashi shrugged, he had little interest in the characters, which wasn't even mentioned in the original, "It's too normal for kids to fight, so you should stay out of it, and anyway, the ninja master must surely be watching them, so there's no need to worry about anything."
"But..."
Kurenai muttered helplessly, now she was confused and didn't know what to say, I guess there was really no reason to intervene.
Seeing Kurenai's hesitation, Yeruashi shook his head, took a step forward, performed a series of hand seals and placed his hands on the ground.
"Doton: Jiban Shindō!" (Earth Element: Earth Stirring)
"...Oh, what?!"
Seeing Yeruashi's movement, Kurenai was surprised at first, and then felt the ground shaking, she didn't fall down just because she was ready beforehand.
However, the other children gathered in the training ground started to lose their balance and fall down, the fight was also affected by this.
"Yeruashi, you..."
Kurenai steadied her position and was about to say something, but at that moment, Yeruashi put his index finger to her lips, indicating a gesture of silence, and whispered with a smile, "There, that should be enough to break up the fight, let's go."
Numerous children looked around, not understanding what exactly happened, some even thought there was an earthquake, the fight subsided completely.
But not all the children were confused.
One boy, who was standing calmly in the middle of the crowd, frowned slightly and looked in Yeruashi's direction, apparently he understood who caused this movement.
"What a mess..."
The boy shook his head.
He looked a bit younger than Kakashi, wore clothes with the logo of the Uchiha clan painted on it, and although he looks modest and doesn't stand out in the crowd, his name was well known.
Uchiha Shisui!
Unlike Obito, Shisui is almost as talented as Itachi, and in the case of awakening Mangekyou Sharingan, he will have the strongest illusionary dojutsu ... Kotoamatsukami!
Yeruashi's movement was not only detected by Shisui and Kurenai, it was also noticed by Nohara Rin, who was also in the courtyard and had her attention on Yeruashi from the beginning.
"... Yeruashi, you made even more noise."
Rin approached Yeruashi and grumbled, then said in a slightly surprised tone, "But you're pretty good! Doton: Jiban Shindō looks like a C-Rank Jutsu, doesn't it?"
Noticing Rin's approach, Yeruashi again showed a silent gesture and smiled, "I stole this trick from Kakashi, it's just a little trick."
Shisui smiled slightly and turned around, not intending to say anything, but after only a few steps, he stopped.
Not far away.
A teenager, dressed like him in Uchiha clan clothes and glasses, was standing in front of Yeruashi, gesturing and saying, "Hey! Yeruashi! Let's fight!"
It was Uchiha Obito, who challenged Yeruashi.
Today was a rare day in that he arrived early at the Academy and he wasn't late, but the first thing that caught his attention was the image of Yeruashi and Rin chatting happily, of course he was instantly enraged!
Obito seemed to be affected by the fighting atmosphere in the training camp, he gritted his teeth and looked at Yeruashi.
"Boring."
Yeruashi calmly looked at Obito.
This Obito, of course, could not arouse his fighting spirit, and Yeruashi had no desire to tease such a cheerful and simple boy.
"Damn it...stop right there!!!"
Seeing Yeruashi's indifferent behavior, Obito could no longer restrain himself and lashed out at Yeruashi.
Whoosh!
Obito delivered a rather direct and forceful punch.
Yeruashi sighed and took a step to the side, calmly dodging the attack, then reached out and gently pushed Obito's shoulder, causing him to lose his balance awkwardly and fall to the ground.
Seeing this, Rin sighed, put her hand to her forehead and shook her head helplessly.
Kurenai was also speechless for a moment.
"Is this Obito guy really from the Uchiha clan? He doesn't seem to fit in with him at all..."
It seems that almost all the adult mentions of the Uchiha clan are imbued with awe at his glory, moreover, all the students of the Uchiha clan are geniuses and at the top of their respective classes, but the difference between them and Obito is too great.
However, just as Kurenai's words fell, a voice came from the side.
"I can't pretend I didn't hear those words."
Uchiha Shisui approached unnoticed, looked at Kurenai and spoke calmly.
He didn't care too much about Obito, as they barely knew each other, but the words about his clan couldn't go unnoticed.
"You are..."
Kurenai looked closely at Shisui and exclaimed, "Uchiha Shisui?!"
The name Uchiha Shisui was quite famous in the Ninja Academy, he always ranked first in his class and even the recently defeated a Genin!
Without a doubt, Shisui can apply for early graduation at any time, and in the eyes of many people of this generation, only he could compare to Kakashi in terms of talent!
