Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Gu Mu smiled as he answered.

"You're not kidding?"

Tobirama Senju glanced at Koki a few more times. How come he hadn't noticed before that this kid had such great ambitions?

"This isn't for Father's sake. Father, don't you hate the Uchiha clan the most?"

"Who told you that?"

Tobirama Senju's lips twitched. He didn't want anyone talking behind his back that he was targeting the Uchiha clan.

If my older brother finds out, he'll give me another long-winded lecture.

"If I'm wrong, then I'm sorry. But leave that little brat at home to me. I'll take good care of her."

"Well, bullying is going too far. As classmates, you should help each other more."

Tobirama Senju nodded expressionlessly, but inwardly he was quite satisfied with Koki's reply.

To deal with those evil brats from the Uchiha clan, we must strike hard.

"Haha, what are you two talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."

The sudden appearance of Hashirama's voice made Tobirama Senju's face stiffen, hoping that his older brother hadn't heard Koki's guess just now.

"uncle."

When Koki saw Hashirama Senju approaching, he gave him a brief greeting.

This was the first time he had been so close to Hashirama Senju.

The layered red armor, marked with countless sword and blade marks, represented the sheer number of battles he had fought—absolutely terrifying.

However, he didn't feel any pressure. Hashirama Senju had a smile on his face and looked like a simpleton.

"Hmm, second brother, is this your son?"

"It's really frustrating that I didn't bring a gift when we first met."

Under the silent gaze of the ancient tree, Hashirama Senju reached out and patted the head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Big brother, is the battle over? What's the situation with the ninja?"

Tobirama's expression was serious.

"It's solved, it's solved, don't worry."

"By the way, what were you guys talking about just now? I think I heard something about Uchiha?"

"It's nothing, just something about this kid's classmate."

Tobirama Senju remained expressionless.

"It's getting late, brother, you should go back and rest first. I still have things to take care of."

"Indeed, Gu Mu, you should go back and rest too. You have class tomorrow."

"Okay, uncle."

......

The next day, when Gu Mu got up and opened the door, he saw Uchiha Shizumi leaning against the corridor wall, carrying a small schoolbag, looking like a girl from a painting, standing in front of him.

Her long black hair swayed in the wind, and a kind smile graced her delicate and lovely face. Her eyes lit up the moment they looked at the ancient tree.

"Good morning, Gu Mu."

[Uchiha Shizusui is feeling satisfied... reaping 100 emotion points]

satisfy?

What is this girl trying to satisfy?

Good morning, Jing Shui.

After two days of rest, Uchiha Shizuru had almost fully recovered, and his complexion was much rosier.

"Let's go, it's time to go to class."

"Ah."

Uchiha Shizuru nodded and obediently followed Koki.

Before class, I should still tell Tobirama, otherwise, there's no guarantee he won't do something to embarrass Uchiha Shizuru.

"Gu Mu, did you need something from me?"

Inside the teachers' office, Tobirama Senju looked on with curiosity. This was the first time Koki had approached him on his own initiative.

"What conditions are required for Uchiha Shizumi to return to school?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Shizumi, who was standing by the door, walked into the room somewhat embarrassed.

"Resumption of school?"

Tobirama Senju glanced at Shizumi Uchiha again: "Returning to school is no problem, but the prerequisite is that I see that she has the potential to become a ninja."

"Teacher, I am willing to take the entrance exam."

Before Gu Mu could speak, Uchiha Shizuku, who was beside him, took the initiative to respond.

"it is good."

Tobirama Senju remained expressionless as he began reviewing the combat performance report in his hand.

"Then let's choose this one, Hyuga Tetsuya. You two had some conflicts before, so let's take this opportunity to settle them."

"Ok?"

Gu Mu asked doubtfully, "Is this someone deliberately trying to cause trouble?"

"I'm OK."

Uchiha Shizumi nodded, her firm answer revealing a rare glimpse of confidence in her to Koki.

Hopefully, nothing goes wrong later.

Chapter 22 The Move is Made! The Game Begins

Inside Konoha Square.

Tobirama Senju gathered everyone together and briefly explained what was about to happen.

"Hyuga Tetsuya, Uchiha Shizumizu, you two can fight with peace of mind. With me here, no one will bother you in the future."

Hyuga Tetsuya, who had initially intended to hold back, suddenly lit up with excitement after hearing the Second Hokage's promise.

So, does that mean he can finally redeem himself?

With the Hokage's guarantee, even Koki shouldn't dare to retaliate casually.

Sure enough, Gu Mu clearly sensed that Hyuga Tetsu kept glancing in his direction. Hey! This kid really doesn't learn his lesson!

"Jing Shui, do you want to continue?"

"Gu Mu, believe me, I will do my best."

Uchiha Shizumi, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, made a cheering gesture, her serious expression indicating that she would not give up easily.

"Just don't be so stubborn."

Gu Mu pinched her cheek, his tone helpless.

"Hmm... I'll go then."

Uchiha Shizuru did not stop Koki's actions, holding a long sword in his hand, giving off a sense of being ready to die.

"Uchiha Shizusui, what a coincidence, we're going to fight again."

Hyuga Tetsuya looked at Uchiha Shizumizu as she stepped onto the arena with a kind smile on his face.

Out of the corner of his eye, he was observing the ancient trees below.

Since you care so much about this woman, then I'll give her a good torment!

"let's start."

Uchiha Shizusui naturally knew that the person in front of him was no good, so he didn't give him a friendly look.

The two faced each other, formed battle hand seals, and then Uchiha Shizuru deliberately created distance between them.

Unlike Hyuga Tetsuya, he did not retreat but instead took the initiative to attack.

"Shh!"

Seeing Hyuga Tetsuya's eagerness to attack, Uchiha Shizumizu swung her shuriken like a whirlwind, blocking Hyuga Tetsuya's path of advance.

"Oh my, your combat experience has improved. But you're not the only one growing."

Hyuga Tetsuya's eyes held a hint of sarcasm: "Eight Trigrams - Heavenly Rotation!!"

His body spun rapidly like a top, and a large amount of chakra surged within him, instantly forming an absolute defense. Moreover, this defense was like an elastic wall, capable of reflecting all of the enemy's attacks.

Hyuga Tetsuya was confident that with this technique, he would be invincible against Uchiha Shizuru, who was a complete loser.

"Haha, surrender!!"
