Starting with Wood Release, he survives in Konoha Hospital and becomes a big shot.

His baby fat has lessened, and his features have become sharper. He no longer has the natural cuteness he used to have, but he is still a lovely boy, especially when he smiles. He looks exactly the same as the adorable Yao Xing from before.

"Starry Sky, hurry up, don't be late. Today is your first time going to the Ninja Academy," Koji urged.

Nine-year-old Koji looks much more mature. Ninjas develop faster than ordinary people, and Koji later focused his training on taijutsu, so he looks very strong now and is already 1.6 meters tall, which is quite fast.

"I'm already pretty fast," Yao Xingji said slowly, really not wanting to get out of bed.

He felt like he was living the life of an old man instead of a child, and he was practically suffering from laziness.

Swish!

Without saying a word, Xiaosi pulled off Yao Xingji's blanket and lifted her off the bed.

"We're going to be late." Before Xiaosi could finish speaking, he put the clothes on Yao Xingji's head.

"..." Yao Xingji.

This feeling is so much like when his mother woke him up in his past life.

Helpless, Yao Xingji could only slowly get up and wash up.

The Third Shinobi World War has been raging for almost a year now, and the situation is becoming increasingly tense. Konoha has suffered many casualties, resulting in many ninjas being sent to the battlefield immediately after becoming genin.

Guy, Kurenai, Obito Uchiha, and others are already on the battlefield. Although the missions they are engaged in are relatively safe, it is still a battlefield, and people can die at any time.

"Kakashi, when you were this age, you had already graduated from the Ninja Academy. You're really getting more and more decadent now." Koji said helplessly, looking at Yakusei, who was slowly washing up.

Originally, it was thought that Yao Xingji had great talent and might surpass Kakashi's achievements, but unexpectedly, Yao Xingji has been so lazy for more than a year. Despite being able to enroll early, he delayed entering the Ninja Academy until he was five years old, which is quite late in wartime.

“Entering school early means graduating early, graduating early means going to the battlefield, and going to the battlefield means possible death. Look, why enter school so early? Isn’t this just rushing to your death?” Yao Xingji said calmly.

"Your theories are quite elaborate..." Koji was speechless. "Although I don't have much affection for Konoha, don't you want to make a name for yourself in the ninja world? Like becoming famous throughout the entire ninja world?"

"I don't want to." Yao Xingji shook his head.

"..." Xiaosi was speechless.

"I heard that there is a ninja in the Land of Water named Kisame Hoshigaki. He is not very old but has already risen in the war and become a rising star in Kirigakure, causing Konoha a lot of losses."

"I don't have such lofty ideals. I just want to end the war as soon as possible so that the Dean and Kabuto can come back sooner."

Yao Xingji paused for a moment, then said, "War kills people. Think of a way to try not to graduate from the ninja academy so early."

“It’s not possible now. Even if you want to stay at school, the school won’t allow it.” Xiaosi shook her head and didn’t say anything more.

An hour later, Yao Xingji appeared at the Ninja Academy under the guidance of Xiaosi and went through the enrollment process in an orderly manner.

"There don't seem to be any familiar ninjas in the ninja academy now." Yao Xingji's gaze swept around, and almost all the faces were unfamiliar.

The ninjas of this period may have been sent to the battlefield too early, resulting in many dying in the war before their strength had fully developed. Therefore, not many familiar characters appeared in the Naruto story.

Of course, there are exceptions. Anyone who can survive in such a cruel environment is a prodigy, such as Itachi Uchiha.

According to age calculations, Itachi is two years younger than Yakushiki, and is only three years old now. They had met a few times before when Yakushiki went to the Uchiha clan's territory to help treat people's injuries, but the two didn't have much interaction.

After completing the enrollment procedures, Yao Xingji entered his class and found a corner seat to sit down.

The fact that he hadn't been involved in any strange incidents for over a year gave Yao Xingji the opportunity to quietly remain in Konoha, allowing him to gradually hide his former brilliance and cause many to forget his existence.

Yao Xingji's chakra has improved significantly. According to Yao Xingji's previous standards, his chakra level has reached thirty ki, even though the rate of chakra improvement slows down in the later stages.

As for ninjutsu, Yao Xingji wouldn't dare say he's mastered all of Konoha's low-difficulty ninjutsu, but he's certainly got about 70-80% of them. Moreover, the power of each ninjutsu has been greatly enhanced. Compared to ordinary ninjas, the power of his ninjutsu is at least one level higher.

As for his bloodline limit, because he has taken advantage of the Uchiha clan quite a bit, his Sharingan has already reached the three-tomoe level. However, Yao Xingji has no idea how to improve it next.

Other bloodline limits like Yakusei had ideas, but unfortunately, most clans with bloodline limits are large clans with their own dedicated medical ninjas, and they rarely seek out outsiders, especially a child. For example, Yakusei had always had designs on the Hyuga clan, but he never found an opportunity to exploit them.

"Hello, you must be Pharmacist Xingji. I've seen you in the clan many times."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Yao Xingji's thoughts.

Following the sound, Yao Xingji saw a boy with a round nose and a smile walking up to him, wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan crest.

Uchiha Shisui!

Yao Xing looked at the newcomer with great surprise, never expecting to meet him here.

Isn't this the freshman class of the Ninja Academy? Why is Uchiha Shisui, who is a year older than Yakusei and has such outstanding talent and strength, here? Shouldn't he be on the battlefield?

"Do you remember me?" Uchiha Shisui asked with a smile. They had met once when they were in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Yao Xingji nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Uchiha Shisui. We'll be classmates from now on." Uchiha Shisui extended his right hand and said to Yao Xingji with a smile.

------------

Chapter 133, First Lesson

"Hello, my name is Yakushi Hoshiki, it's nice to meet you." Yakushi Hoshiki put aside his doubts and shook Uchiha Shisui's hand.

"Your eye technique is truly amazing. I've heard many people in the clan mention you," Uchiha Shisui said with a smile as they chatted.

He lacked the arrogance and haughtiness typical of the Uchiha clan, appearing approachable and like a child from an ordinary family.

"No, no, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is still more powerful," Yao Xingji said. It was just mutual flattery, something he could do too.

Uchiha Shisui smiled and didn't continue the topic.

The number of students in the classroom increased, roughly estimated to be around fifty. Most of them were quite young, around the same age as Yao Xingji, only five years old. Those like Uchiha Shisui, who entered school at six, were considered older.

"Star Pole".

Suddenly, a voice came from the doorway, followed by a child wearing an iron face shield running over with a laugh, which aroused the curiosity of many people.

"Yamato, what brings you here?" Yao Xingji asked in surprise.

After being rescued from Danzo, Yamato was placed under the command and training of Sakumo Hatake. At that time, Yamato even came over to greet Yakusei and asked him to help him think of a name, which is how the name Yamato came about.

Having not seen Yamato for several months, Yakiseki assumed that Yamato had gone to the battlefield, but he never expected to see Yamato at the Ninja Academy.

"I don't know how they arranged it. They said they wanted me to continue studying at the Ninja Academy for a while longer, maybe because they felt I hadn't done some things well enough," Yamato said.

Yao Xingji frowned. Unless Konoha didn't want to expose Yamato's Wood Release, there was no reason to keep Yamato, who already had Chunin-level strength, at the Ninja Academy.

Yao Xingji glanced at Uchiha Shisui beside him again and felt something was wrong, as if he had been set up.

"Hello, my name is Uchiha Shisui." Shisui greeted Yamato politely.

"Hello, Yamato." Yamato smiled.

The two sat down on either side of Yao Xingji, and the previously inconspicuous corner suddenly attracted the attention of almost everyone in the classroom.

A child of the Uchiha clan.

A child who was clearly two or three years older than them.

There's also a child who's being adorable.

What kind of group are these three?

Not only were the students in the class confused, but Yao Xingji was also very confused. What the hell was this?

Why is it that when other people transmigrate to the Ninja Academy, they have an Uchiha girl on their left and a Hyuga girl on their right, but when Yao Xingji transmigrated, he was surrounded by two grown men, who weren't even as good-looking as him?

The children in the classroom were also talking amongst themselves, looking at the three people in the corner with suspicion.

"Why do you two have to squeeze in here with me..." Yao Xing asked speechlessly.

“I only know you,” Yamato said bluntly.

“Alright.” Yao Xingji then turned his gaze to Uchiha Shisui.

“You are the Uchiha clan’s exclusive medical ninja, and the clan head instructed me to protect you as much as possible during your training,” Uchiha Shisui said with a smile. “The kind of close protection.”

"..." Yao Xingji.

Good morning, students.

A voice suddenly appeared, interrupting the conversation between Yao Xingji and the other two.

Looking up, I saw a black-haired ninja who looked to be about twenty years old standing on the stage. He was thin and looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

"My name is Izuno Yuta, I'm a Chunin, and I'll be your teacher from now on," the young man said with a smile.

Yuta Izuno's gaze swept across the entire class, passing over the faces of the children. He looked at their faces, which were filled with anticipation, fear, or nervousness, and nodded with satisfaction.

"The students this time are all quite young, so they're easier to fool... cough cough, easier to discipline," Yuta Izuno thought to himself.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the corner of the classroom, where three children were sitting.

The one on the left has a smile on his face and seems very easygoing. The one in the middle looks lifeless and sleepy, as if he hasn't slept well, but he's quite good-looking. The one on the right is a bit older, wearing a strange iron face shield, and looks somewhat dull.

What a strange trio!

"You three, come sit in the front, otherwise you might not be able to hear what the teacher is saying later," Yuta Izuno said.

Yao Xingji didn't move; he looked at the sunlight outside.

What a great day to snag some freebies! I wonder when get out of class will end. I'll have to go to Konoha Hospital then, see if I can find any bargains.

That Jonin last time was really helpful; he gave me 30% more chakra, which is a rare boost after my own chakra levels have increased.

Uchiha Shisui glanced at Yao Xingji, who was lost in thought, but said nothing and did nothing.

Yamato glanced at the teacher but didn't move.

This guy in front of me isn't even as strong as me, so why does he have the right to order me around? I'm ignoring him.

So the three of them just sat there, completely ignoring Yuta Izuno's first class performance.

The classroom fell silent as everyone turned to look at Yao Xingji and his two companions in the corner.

"Wow, that's impressive. They dared to go against the teacher on the very first day."

"Our teacher is a Chunin! I wonder if he'll kill someone when he gets angry. That's terrifying."

"Huh? What just happened? Why does the teacher look so dark?"

……

Yuta Izuno's lips twitched. He hadn't expected to encounter such a troublesome student on their first meeting.

Although it was his first time teaching, Yuta Izuno had prepared thoroughly beforehand and had also consulted with many other teachers.

In this situation, he must demonstrate his authority to these students and show the other students the consequences of disobedience. Only then can he establish his authority as a teacher; otherwise, he will find it difficult to discipline these students in future lessons.
