Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Perhaps the pressure from the ancient tree was too great, for Hyuga Tetsuya could only tremble as he extended his fist.

Before he even got close to the ancient tree, he felt an immense force coming through his body.

He was sent flying backward by a single punch.

Such a huge commotion attracted the attention of most of the ninja trainees.

"What happened? Someone got blasted away?"

"It seems to be some unlucky fellow from Gumu's side who provoked this troublemaker?"

"That person seems to be from the Hyuga clan. Oh dear, has he passed out?"

The surrounding area was abuzz with discussion, even attracting the attention of Tobirama Senju.

He immediately went over to check on Hyuga Tetsuya's injuries, but thankfully, it was just a few broken ribs.

There is no danger to his life.

"Gu Mu, what do you mean by this? If I remember correctly, you should be in the winners' bracket."

Why did you come here?

Tobirama Senju approached the old tree with a rather cold expression and began questioning him about the specifics of what had happened.

Seeing that Uchiha Shizumi was about to step in to stop her, Koki immediately grabbed her hand.

The sudden movement caused Uchiha Shizuru's brain to shut down first.

[Uchiha Shizuru is filled with gratitude... Harvesting 200 Emotional Points]

"That guy was planning to hurt his classmates, so I intervened and stopped him."

Despite Tobirama's intense gaze, Koki showed little emotional fluctuation.

On the contrary, Uchiha Shizumi beside him was extremely nervous, and Koki could even feel her slender hands trembling.

Unfortunately, this emotion was not born of myself, so I cannot reap the rewards.

"If that's the case, I will investigate thoroughly. I will absolutely not allow anyone in the village to harm our comrades."

Tobirama Senju spoke coldly, regarding the injuries on Hyuga Tetsuya's body, if he was truly at fault first...

This injury is just a minor punishment.

During this time, Tobirama glanced at Uchiha Shizumi a few more times.

The information he had previously gathered had come to light: this Uchiha Shizumizu was just an ordinary Uchiha.

Tobirama Senju didn't quite understand why his own son would pay so much attention to this brat.

"That's settled then, let's continue with the practical training."

.......

With Gu Mu's intervention, these students all knew that they couldn't afford to mess with Uchiha Shizumizu.

The practical class finally ended around the afternoon.

"The results for today's practical training session have been tallied. Please check them yourselves."

After posting the notice, Tobirama left.

"Jing Shui, let's not go see it."

Seeing that Uchiha Shizuru still wanted to check the results, Koki tried to dissuade him.

"No, I want to go."

Uchiha Shizumizu's eyes were serious; she wasn't so bad that she couldn't handle this kind of setback.

As expected, Gu Mu ranked first with a perfect record.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is ranked second with one loss in his battle.

As for Uchiha Shizuru...

With a record of all losses, they ranked last.

"Gu Mu, I'm leaving now."

Uchiha Shizumizu remained expressionless, and after speaking, she left.

She could vaguely hear people around her praising the ancient tree, as well as some girls criticizing her.

Seeing Uchiha Shizuru leave, Koki's eyes instantly turned cold.

Turning back, he addressed the dissenting crowd: "You lot, don't bark at me like dogs. If I hear any bad rumors in the future, I'll make an example of you first."

The terrified female ninja nodded frantically, like a chicken pecking at rice, and dared not say another word.

"Gu Mu, leave it to me. I'll shut those people up."

Just as Koki was about to leave, Danzo came to his side and spoke softly.

Koki didn't offer any thanks, glanced at Danzo, and then left as well.

He could guess Danzo's thoughts even with his eyes closed.

But he didn't care about any of that. He had to go check on Uchiha Shizumi. He didn't want that girl to do anything stupid.

After all, without cheat codes, facing this world is quite cruel.

Fortunately, Uchiha Shizumizu didn't do anything foolish.

She quietly wiped away her tears, and after adjusting herself, she returned to the Uchiha clan's residence.

.......

The next day, Gu Mu went to class as usual. The students who were talking around him all fell silent when they saw Gu Mu arrive.

The entire classroom even felt a bit oppressive because of the arrival of the ancient tree.

Good morning, Jing Shui.

Gu Mu skillfully made his way to the back seat.

Good morning, Gu Mu.

After giving a brief greeting, Uchiha Shizuru slumped onto the table, looking very listless.

Unfortunately, the ancient tree did not harvest any more feelings of fear.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but this girl isn't afraid of me at all.

"Jing Shui, it's okay. Failure is the mother of success."

Uchiha Shizuru, who was lying on the table, turned around at the sound, her large eyes staring intently at the old tree, quite puzzled:

“Gu Mu, I’m not too disappointed, but I feel like I know you a lot.”

"Is this my illusion?"

Last night, Uchiha Shizumi thought about it all night, recalling Koki's way of doing things. That poor disguise could hardly escape her observation, after all, the two of them had lived together for seven years in their previous life.

Many of their habits and details are ingrained in each other's very being.

Moreover, this world seems to value the strong more, and someone like her, who is at the bottom of the pack, shouldn't be worth paying attention to.

Unless, Gu Mu knew her a long time ago and was also a time traveler like her.

"Haha, after spending a few days together, it's normal to feel familiar, isn't it?"

Gu Mu wouldn't be exposed anytime soon; he was counting on this little bit of wool to make himself stronger.

"Hmph~ then I'm not familiar with it."

Uchiha Shizusui looked displeased. This bastard, why won't he reveal his identity? Does he expect her to expose herself?

"Yesterday, we had a practical test, so today we'll have a written test. Everyone, get ready, we'll begin shortly."

World-weary Jun Yang ⑦1 ④⒋ Eight ㈥ ⑦ Seven ０

Soon, Tobirama Senju walked into the classroom, carrying a stack of test papers, and began distributing them without saying a word.

"Ugh, I forgot about that."

Gu Mu looked at the exam paper handed to him and felt a headache coming on.

Even though they've all transmigrated to another world, they still can't escape the fate of taking exams.

The exam was conducted and graded on the spot, and the results came out very quickly.

The ancient trees are ranked last.

As for Uchiha Shizuru, he ranks in the top five.

Why wasn't he first? Of course, the written exam was entirely up to Tobirama to decide.

His subconscious wouldn't easily let that Uchiha brat get first place.

Even though some of her views resonated with Tobirama.

"After class, Uchiha Shizumizu, come to my office."

Tobirama Senju glanced at the old tree, his tone indifferent.
