Naruto entry.

He allowed Danzo to manage the Root organization, which resulted in it becoming Danzo's personal fiefdom.

If we follow Danzo's every word regarding the policy towards the Uchiha clan, who knows what serious consequences it might cause?

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you'll regret this!"

Danzo Shimura slammed the door shut and stormed out.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had long forgotten the Second Hokage's teachings. This weakness towards the Uchiha would eventually harm the village!

"Ugh."

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked out the window, where his own Hokage rock statue stood at the far end.

A moment later, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned an ANBU member who presented him with intelligence on Kiyoshi.

It clearly records everything Kiyoshi did at the Ninja Academy.

…………

The next day.

Ninja Academy.

"The next match is Kakashi versus Might Guy."

As Uminoru's voice rang out, Kakashi with short white hair and Might Guy in a green bodysuit stepped out from the group.

The two formed "opposing seals" and began their battle.

Obito was rubbing his hands together in anticipation below.

These past few days, he has been practicing diligently, neglecting sleep and meals, all for the sake of making a name for himself today.

"Obito, don't lose to the newcomer, Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Genma Shiranui joked, with a wooden stick dangling from his mouth.

"Hmph, today I'm going to prove myself! From now on, I'm not the last one in the class!"

Obito gave a thumbs-up, pointing to his face with a confident expression.

"Hey, is this for real?"

Seeing Obito's appearance, Genma Shiranui was already 80% convinced.

Obito and Kiyoshi are both from the Uchiha clan, but Kiyoshi is someone who has only recently joined the clan.

The two have completely different resources and time. Although Obito is at the bottom of the pack, he should still be able to beat Kiyoshi.

"Don't embarrass yourself."

"Just look at me."

Obito turned his head, looking in the direction of Rin Nohara.

He just wanted Lin to notice him.

"Next up is Kiyoshi versus Obito. Hey, are you even listening, Obito?"

Umino turned up the volume.

"They're here, they're here."

Only then did Obito hear that his instructor, Umino, had called out several times. He immediately squeezed out of the crowd and entered the open space used for the upcoming battle.

"Don't say I'm bullying you."

Obito said this while forming the "Opposition Seal".

"This is just normal friendly competition, of course not."

Kiyoshi also formed a hand seal, indicating that he was ready.

Upon hearing this, Obito immediately rushed over.

Straight punch!

Kiyoshi dodged the punch with a slight movement.

Obito flipped over and delivered another whip kick.

Kiyoshi lowered his body, used his left hand to block Obito's leg, and grabbed with his right hand, intending to throw Obito to the ground.

Obito, who was in mid-air, pulled a kunai from his ninja tool bag.

Bang!

The two kunai clashed, producing sparks and a dull thud.

The two began to fight back and forth.

This was also Kiyoshi's first time sparring.

His movements were clumsy, but he did not feel any pressure during his fight with Obito.

It's fair to say that there's a reason why Obito was called the bottom of the class.

Obito's overall score in the "Book of Fighting" is only 36, which is the value of the eight ninja attributes.

It's exactly the same as Sakura Haruno's overall score during her genin days.

While the overall score cannot fully represent a ninja, it does show that Obito is currently very weak.

He truly became stronger after being tempered on the battlefield and awakening his Sharingan.

"Who do you think will win?"

The battle between the two Uchiha clan members in the class clearly attracted the attention of the other students.

"Obito, that kid is still a Uchiha, after all."

I think so too.

Many students in the class were whispering among themselves.

"Kakashi, who do you think will win?"

"Nohara Rin asked."

"It's hard to say, Kiyoshi has a slightly higher chance of winning."

Kakashi straightened his messy scarf.

During my recent match against Might Guy, I messed up my plaid shirt and scarf.

"Huh, why?"

Rin Nohara felt a surge of curiosity.

Kakashi actually said that.

In truth, she shared the same thought as the vast majority of the class: Obito would win.

The difference between someone who has received long-term training and someone who has only received short-term training is enormous.

"Most people at this stage can't even meet the graduation standard of the Ninja Academy, which is to say, they can't master the Three Body Techniques."

Kakashi began to share his thoughts with Rin.

"I understand. So everyone fights using taijutsu or ninja tools like shuriken as ranged attacks."

Rin Nohara understood what Kakashi meant.

Her fair face turned towards Qing Si, and she began to observe him carefully.

"He seems a bit more muscular than he was last week?"

Nohara Rin asked uncertainly.

If Kiyoshi's previous physique was on the thin side, now he's neither fat nor thin.

"That's right, he has a strong talent for physical combat, and this advantage will make up for Kiyoshi's lack of experience."

Kakashi nodded.

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, the previously tense situation changed.

Obito, panting heavily, created distance and released three shuriken.

Bang bang bang.

Qing Si used bitter herbs to pry them open one by one.

After awakening the Sharingan, even without using its power, Kiyoshi's physical abilities were still enhanced by the Sharingan's power in his normal state.

His pupil power gradually penetrated his limbs and bones, enhancing his physical attributes.

Normal vision has improved considerably compared to before.

The shuriken that Obito released weakly appeared incredibly slow to Kiyoshi.

"Is there no other way, Obito?"

Qing Si said calmly.

He hasn't even used his Sharingan yet.

"Hmph, I was just letting you win that time."

He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his hands and stubbornly insisted.

In his mind, he was thinking about how Uchiha Kiyoshi's physical abilities were so good.

Isn't he tired?

Obito glanced at Uchiha Kiyoshi and noticed that he was barely sweating.

"So these are the people from the Land of Lightning...?"

Obito clicked his tongue in disbelief.

Before he could have more time to rest, Kiyoshi had already attacked with a kunai in hand.

Obito hastily responded, using a kunai to block Kiyoshi's kunai.

The next moment, Kiyoshi stepped on the ground with his left foot and kicked out at Obito with his right foot.

Bang!

Obito was kicked away and fell to the ground, yelling in pain.

You lost.

Kiyoshi placed the kunai on Obito's neck.

"The victor is Uchiha Kiyoshi!"

After a brief hesitation, Umino Roku announced.

Even he hadn't expected this outcome.

Is Kiyoshi really that strong?

One kick was enough to make Obito clutch his waist and cry out in pain.

Thank you for your guidance.

Kiyoshi put all the kunai into his ninja tool bag and returned to the crowd.

The "Long-Distance Runner (White)" entry increases his stamina by 5%.

Kiyoshi, who already possessed the physical talent of the Night Moon Clan, suddenly increased the force of his kick.

After Umino announced the results, the previously noisy crowd immediately quieted down considerably.

This development is a bit too abrupt.

Could the newly arrived Uchiha Kiyoshi be a genius like Kakashi?

This thought popped into many people's minds.
