In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 6 One Year Later, the Third Generation's Attention

Ninja Academy.

"Chiya-kun, have you heard? Itachi-kun seems to be graduating early. He's only been enrolled for a year, and he's already graduating. That's amazing!" Uchiha Izumi said to Fujiwara Chiya, who was standing next to her, while looking out the window at Uchiha Itachi, who was the center of attention.

"Indeed, very impressive." Fujiwara Chiya praised without reservation.

Before they knew it, the two had been together for a year.

Although Fujiwara Chiya rarely came to school, through the memories of her shadow clones, he deeply understood that she was a gentle, kind, and understanding girl.

At this time, there were still six years before the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

Fujiwara Chiya wouldn't be so saintly as to try and save the entire Uchiha clan; even if she did, they might not be willing to believe her.

However, it would be a terrible mistake to let Uchiha Izumi die at the hands of those two lunatics, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito.

Perhaps, by that time, it will be time to leave this village.

After all, his original plan was to join the Xiaotian Group.

That Xiao Nan—oops, red clouds and black robes, that I, Teng, have been craving for a long time.

"And Chiya-kun is amazing too. If Chiya-kun were to take the graduation exam now, he would definitely graduate early." Just then, Uchiha Izumi's voice interrupted Fujiwara Chiya's thoughts.

"You flatter me too much." Fujiwara Chiya once again played the role of Versailles.

In terms of talent alone, Itachi Uchiha was a true genius.

His battle intelligence was exceptionally high; if it weren't for the enhancement of his martial arts techniques, Fujiwara Chiya admitted that he was far inferior to Uchiha Itachi.

The only shortcoming is emotional intelligence, which is almost zero.

It's no wonder that in the original story, while being feared by Obito, Konoha's F4 completely outmaneuvered him.

"No, Chiya-kun is really amazing." Uchiha Izumi whispered in Chiya's ear, her warm breath and melodious voice filling the air. "Chiya-kun, like Itachi-kun, has probably been learning using Shadow Clones all along."

"How did you find out?" Chiya looked at Uchiha Izumi with some surprise.

Although he knew that the other party had awakened the Sharingan on the night of the Nine-Tails' death due to the loss of his parents, the Sharingan doesn't have the ability to recognize shadow clones; it can only deduce them by comparing them with the original body. However, he almost never revealed his original body and shadow clone simultaneously in front of outsiders.

"Chiya-kun, a girl's heart is always more delicate than you can imagine." Uchiha Izumi took a step back, closed her left eye slightly, curved it into a shallow crescent moon, and spoke softly with her red lips.

"Then tell me, am I real or fake now?" Qianye was clearly interested, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Hmm," Uchiha Izumi lightly covered her lips with her hand, looked Chiya up and down again, pondered for a moment, and affirmed, "Really, no matter how similar a clone is, it is still a clone. Only the eyes can't be deceived. Like Chiya-kun, his eyes have been different from usual lately. He must have seen Itachi-kun being discovered by the shadow clone and was worried about being exposed, so he used his real body to go to school."

"You're really smart, but perhaps only you could have noticed this. Who else would pay attention to me like you do every day?" Chiya smiled gently, her right hand casually stroking Uchiha Izumi's head.

This made Uchiha Izumi blush deeply. Chiya smiled awkwardly and quickly stopped, "Sorry, sorry, Izumi is just too cute, I couldn't help myself, I couldn't help myself."

Uchiha Izumi nodded with a sob, turned her back to Chiya, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and murmured in a voice only she could hear, "Chiya-kun is too cunning."

The two girls' actions were observed by several girls in the corner of the classroom, and their gossip instincts were instantly ignited.

"Wow. Chiya and Izumi are so sweet! How come I never noticed Chiya before? He's so handsome."

"That's because you only have Itachi in your eyes. I've been shipping Chiya and Izumi for ages."

"Really? Tell me!"

"I want to hear it too! I want to hear it too!"

The Hokage's private office.

"Third Hokage, here is the information you requested about Fujiwara no Chiya and his parents." An ANBU ninja respectfully handed the information to the Third Hokage.

Name: Fujiwara Chiya

Sex: Male

Birthday: May 11

Parents: Ichiro Fujiwara (deceased), Rika Fujiwara (deceased)

Blood type: O

Ninja Way: To protect Konoha and never see bloodshed again.

Hobby: Helping elderly women cross the street

My most admired person: The Third Hokage.

My dream: To become a great ninja like the Third Hokage.

Mentor's evaluation: He is an outstanding commoner genius. If properly nurtured, his achievements will be no less than those of scions of prominent families.

The third generation took the data and glanced at it briefly. Overall, he was quite satisfied. Whether it was shuriken, kunai throwing, or other aspects, it was excellent and had virtually no weaknesses.

Although not nearly as dazzling as Itachi Uchiha, don't forget that Chiya Fujiwara was just a commoner.

Without the excellent bloodline of Itachi Uchiha, and without the nurturing of a major clan, it's already quite remarkable that they've grown to this point.

That's not the main point. The most important thing is that he saw the Will of Fire in this boy. Someone who can admire Hiruzen Sarutobi and dream of becoming a great ninja like him must have a high level of ideological awareness.

What he needs is precisely this kind of genius from humble beginnings.

"The Fujiwara family has produced a fine son." The third head of the family lit his pipe, puffed out smoke, and sighed inwardly. After a moment, he asked again, "How are this boy's interpersonal relationships?"

"They can generally get along well with the class, but..." The ANBU ninja's voice trailed off at this point.

"Go on?" The Third Generation tapped his pipe, subtly raising an eyebrow, his expression unreadable.

"Fujiwara Chiya seems to have a good relationship with a young girl from the Uchiha clan. It's said that on the night of the Nine-Tails' invasion, Fujiwara Chiya saved that Uchiha girl, and the two became acquainted because of it." Nowadays, the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha is becoming increasingly tense, and the Uchiha are a sensitive topic.

"I see." The Third Hokage's brows instantly relaxed, and an idea suddenly formed in his mind. Perhaps he could use the child's admiration for him to brainwash—no, to enlighten—the child, to get him to gather information about the Uchiha clan for the sake of Konoha, and observe whether there was any suspicion of rebellion.

However, before that, the child needs to become a true ninja.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage said to the ANBU ninja from before, "Have the school take good care of that child and help him grow up as soon as possible. The village needs talent like him."

"Yes," the ANBU ninja replied respectfully, then used his Body Flicker Technique to vanish from the room.

Looking at the spot where the ANBU ninja had disappeared, the Third Hokage lit another cigarette, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and sighed, "Peace."
