Chapter 4: You Shouldn't Provoke the Uchiha, White Hair! (1/2)

"Wow! So much money!"

Noon, in the office.

Watching Obito, who looked like a money-grubber, Wakaho suddenly remembered the classic quote from Edison Chen.

"At that time, I was in my teens or twenties, and when I thought I was handsome, wow, so much money, first buy a Ferrari..."

Hmm? Looks like he already has a code name for when he joins the Anbu in the future.

Please call me Konoha's Edison Chen!

"This is from the Hyuga clan leader, as a thank you for taking their kids to the hospital."

Teacher Daiki handed two bowls of ramen to Wakaho. "This is your lunch."

Teacher Daiki deliberately didn't mention the part about "regaining dignity."

As a teacher, he didn't want the kids to bear too much pressure.

Let the Hokage decide... after all, this was the first time something this serious had happened.

"Wow! Ramen!" Obito exclaimed in excitement.

Wakaho took the lunch, his expression turning a bit strange.

"So the Hyuga clan head only paid us for taking the kids to the hospital?"

"What about other expenses? My chakra usage fee, Obito's injury fee, and grandma's mental distress fee..."

"Enough is enough!"

Daiki's breaking point today had far exceeded his first days as a teacher.

Then he saw Wakaho gradually frowning.

"Phew..." Daiki took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Alright, go eat your lunch first... I'll report this to the higher-ups. As for your requests..."

"I'll include them in the report too."

Kid, if you're capable enough, get the Hokage to help you claim mental distress fees!

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Wakaho knew Teacher Daiki's limits. This could be referenced in the future for Iruka.

No need to make things difficult for him. Better to find a chance to claim his rights personally.

He was an Uchiha, destined to become a big shot in the Konoha Police Force. Handling this should be a piece of cake.

"By the way, teacher, I'm now the class leader, elected by the classmates."

Before leaving, Wakaho reminded, "Although I declined several times, the classmates still felt I'd be the best leader."

"Maybe because everyone thinks the Uchiha, responsible for Konoha's security, are reliable."

"..." Teacher Daiki looked silently at his assistant.

The assistant was eating lunch with his head down, feeling too ashamed to face anyone...

"And one more thing."

Wakaho suddenly remembered, "Since I'm the class leader now, please also announce that I'm the top student in the first grade."

"How can you be the top...?" Daiki rubbed his increasingly painful temples and said patiently, "Becoming the top student requires assessments."

"Both practical and theoretical scores need to be among the highest to qualify. It's only the first day, how can you..."

Bang!

Before he could finish, they had already left.

Daiki sighed and looked at his assistant.

"Nojima..."

"Can you tell me how he became the class leader?"

...

Elsewhere, Wakaho and Obito were on the rooftop, eating the ramen brought by Teacher Daiki.

"Big brother, my ramen has an extra egg! Here, you can have it!"

Obito said, trying to put the egg into Wakaho's bowl.

Wakaho's face darkened, and he refused firmly, "Obito, you're still growing, you should eat it yourself..."

"Alright then..."

Watching Obito slurp down the ramen, Wakaho felt like he was raising a foolish little brother.

Could you believe this guy would become the third-ranked big boss in the ninja world in the original timeline?

To be honest.

Although there weren't many scenes of young Obito in the original series, he didn't seem this silly, right?

Could it be because he had a super cool, unbeatable, and stylish brother in this life?

That must be it...
