Chapter 5: There Are Many Funny Guys in the Ninja School

On the first day of school, Hongchi Yue Yan (Yue Yan for short) sat in the corner. Maybe it's because protagonists are naturally popular. At this time, a bunch of little kids were gathered around him, chattering away. Without exception, they were all little boys complimenting him on his good looks.

At this moment, one of the little kids seemed to have made up his mind. He came to Yue Yan's side and shyly said, "Classmate, be my girlfriend."

In an instant, the whole classroom fell silent, but everyone's eyes were fixed on Yue Yan, making him can't help twitching his eyes' corners.

Obito Uchiha: Dude! He confessed! So awesome! I also wanna confess to Rin.

Asuma: This chick is really cute, but I still dig Hong more.

Might Guy: Confessing in public? That's what youth is all about!

Kakashi: Tsk, how boring.

Just as everyone was waiting for Yue Yan's reply, the class bell rang. Teacher Sada, the homeroom teacher, walked into the classroom. Then she announced the start of class and told those who were gathered to quickly return to their seats.

"To help you all get to know each other faster, let's start with self - introductions on stage. Tell us your names, hobbies, and dreams."

After Teacher Sada randomly called on a student, the self - introductions began one by one.

"My name is Izumi Masamune. I like reading. My dream is to become a [The text seems incomplete here, perhaps 'writer' or something similar]."

......

"My name is Obito Uchiha. I like doing good deeds. My dream is to become the Hokage."

"Next."

"My name is Might Guy. I like training. My dream is to live out my youth."

......

As the self - introductions went on one by one, it was soon Yue Yan's turn.

Under everyone's gaze, Yue Yan showed an embarrassed smile. But in the eyes of these four - or five - year - old little kids, it was a charming smile. Even Teacher Sada thought Yue Yan, this little "girl", was very good - looking.

"My name is Hongchi Yue Yan. I have a wide variety of hobbies. I don't have a dream yet."

Everyone: "..."

Didn't he just mention his name and nothing else?

Just as everyone was complaining in their hearts, Yue Yan was about to walk back to his seat. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he added.

"By the way, I, Hongchi Yue Yan, am male and like females."

After saying that, Yue Yan walked straight back to his seat without looking back, leaving the little kids who had been having fantasies about him standing there like statues.

After a brief moment of silence, these little kids let out cries of disbelief. Especially the little kid whose confession had been interrupted earlier, his wail was the loudest. Even Teacher Sada was shocked by this news.

Yue Yan sat down expressionlessly. Obito Uchiha, his deskmate, leaned over and whispered, "You're really a boy?"

Yue Yan rolled his eyes: "Absolutely genuine."

"Then why do you look so pretty?"

Obito Uchiha still refused to believe it and said, "Prettier than Rin..."

At this time, Teacher Sada, who had come to his senses, clapped his hands to signal for quiet and then continued his self - introduction.

On Yue Yan's side, he heard Obito Uchiha still muttering, "He looks so cute, but he's actually a boy..."

Yue Yan was quite helpless, but he didn't want to explain anything more regarding his looks.

Next, it was Kakashi's turn to take the stage. He said expressionlessly, "My name is Kakashi. I like training. My dream is to become a great ninja like my Father."

After saying that, Kakashi stepped off the stage. Looking at his handsome and dashing figure, the little girls let out exclamations in unison.

However, seeing how popular Kakashi was, Obito Uchiha disdainfully curled his lips, but there was still a sour note of envy and jealousy in his words.

"Really, covering most of his face and acting so pretentious. I really don't know where he's handsome."

Hearing this, Yue Yan couldn't help but speak up and retort.

"That's called mystery."

"Bah, I think he's just ugly and doesn't want people to see his face."

It seemed that the conversation got started, and with his natural sociability, Obito Uchiha kept ranting about Kakashi in Yue Yan's ear. No one knew where he got so much resentment towards Kakashi.

After the self - introductions were over, Teacher Sada started the class.

After listening for a while without understanding anything, Might Guy came over to where Yue Yan and Obito Uchiha were chatting cheerfully. Then, Asuma, who also couldn't concentrate on the class, came over too.

Just like this, Yue Yan, Obito Uchiha, Might Guy, and Asuma formed a small group. Although they were all funny and wacky guys at the moment and made others reluctant to get close, this was exactly what Yue Yan wanted.

Although the ninja school was a three - year program during wartime and a six - year program during peacetime, and although it seemed like there would be a long period of peace after World War II, that was not the case. Yue Yan, who knew the plot well, knew that soon the Third Ninja World War would start. In order to make up for the shortage of ninjas after the war, Yue Yan's class would graduate early. This meant that he would have to face the Genin exam at the age of seven and then enter the battlefield soon after.

For the sake of his own life, besides studying at the ninja school, Yue Yan basically shuttled between the training ground, the hospital, and the vegetable market. And at night, he would study the ninja scrolls left by his Mother and Father to prepare for the upcoming war.

But after becoming friends with Obito Uchiha and knowing that Madara Uchiha, that sly old fox, was plotting in the dark, Yue Yan didn't dare to expose too much of himself.

During this period, Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, gave up a mission in order to save his comrades, which caused great losses to Konoha. The high - ups were extremely angry, and with the instigation of a sly old fox in the dark, for a while, the villagers in the village launched a fierce verbal and written attack on Sakumo Hatake, completely forgetting about his outstanding and significant contributions during the war.

Sakumo Hatake was criticized and gossiped about by the people he saved and protected. Although he was somewhat affected, he managed to hold on. However, after a comrade he saved committed suicide out of guilt for a failed mission, he completely broke down and chose to end his own life, leaving only a five - year - old Kakashi behind.

"Yue Yan, have you heard? That damn Kakashi has actually applied for early graduation."

All morning, Obito Uchiha had been ranting about this angrily.

"I didn't even apply for early graduation, but that damn guy is getting ahead of me."

Listening to his boasting, Yue Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I wonder who it was that got taken down by Kakashi in one move during the last practical assessment. Obito, do you know who that was?"

"Which eye of yours saw me get taken down in one move!? It was that damn Kakashi who launched a sneak attack. I wasn't even ready." Facing Yue Yan's sarcasm, Obito retorted angrily.

"I saw it too at that time."

Some guy with a bowl - cut hairstyle chimed in.

"Yeah, I saw it too. Obito was kicked flying by Kakashi at that time."

Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, who always loved to stir up trouble, added fuel to the fire.

Furious, Obito stood up abruptly and was about to have a one - on - one fight with Asuma. Might Guy beside him shouted about youth and also joined the fight, completely forgetting that it was Yue Yan who started it.

At this moment, Yue Yan was watching the fight with a big smile on his face. Occasionally, he fanned the flames and gave advice.

"Right, aim for the face. I wonder if you can withstand Might Guy's punches that he's been practicing for years. Obito, you can't just take the beating. Counterattack, counterattack! Use moves like Kick that Ensures No Descendants and Monkey Stealing the Peach. And Asuma, if you can't steal the peach, go for the eyes. Right, poke his eyes."

For a moment, the classroom was in a complete mess because of their fight, like three hyperactive huskies running wild. From time to time, Yue Yan's advice to stir up more trouble could be heard.

When Teacher Sada walked into the classroom and saw this scene, veins throbbed on his forehead in anger.

"Now! Be quiet, all of you!"

Teacher Sada was quite authoritative. After he roared, the three of them finally separated. However, each of them had bruises on their faces.

Such a comical sight made the surrounding students burst into laughter.

Looking at the three Mondai children in front of him and Yue Yan, who was laughing the hardest beside them, Teacher Sada rubbed his temples with a headache. He felt like he was going to get high blood pressure. He suppressed his anger and said, "For the practical combat classes later, everyone, bring your ninja tool bags and gather at the training ground."
