Bab 7: Life-Threatening Survival Exam
Uchiha Fugaku watched as these clan members departed, sighing deeply in his heart.
As the Clan Head, he naturally understood the temperament of his own people, so no matter what these people did, he wouldn't take it to heart.
Petty people couldn't become Clan Head, let alone the Clan Head of the Uchiha family.
His clan members' behavior was too unpredictable. Just now, they were in such a hurry, and now they were discussing whether children should eat fried chicken.
Watching Asuka and a certain elder walk out together, with something even stuffed into the elder's arms, Uchiha Fugaku sighed once again.
Being Clan Head was truly exhausting.
At this moment,
Outside, With a chicken bone in his mouth, Asuka's gaze fell on the elder beside him, and he asked softly.
"I say, Elder Ryoichi, when should we stage a coup?"
"A coup?"
Ryoichi Elder trembled slightly, glancing at Asuka in panic. Then, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings, lowering his voice.
"What? Have you all sidelined me?"
"No."
"Then why wasn't I informed about the coup?"
"The position of Hokage has never fallen to us. Shouldn't we stage a coup?"
Are young people's thoughts this dangerous nowadays?
Seeing Asuka's curious expression, Ryoichi Elder vigorously shook his head. After covering the family bucket tightly with its lid, he looked deeply at Asuka and whispered.
"Asuka, I'm your great-uncle. Although your parents passed away early, your great-uncle is still alive. I hope next time you entertain such dangerous thoughts, you'll think more about your great-uncle."
Hiss!
Asuka looked at Ryoichi's face, clearly expressing "denial," and murmured softly.
"I know you're my great-uncle.
So, great-uncle, when are we going to start thinking about staging a coup?"
"Damn it."
Ryoichi Elder glared at Asuka. Why did this guy have coups on his mind all the time? Can't he just live peacefully?
Is it because during the war, all his comrades died, leaving him with a hollow heart, lacking love?
True, he's 18 now and it's also time to get married.
After a moment of silence, he patted Asuka on the shoulder, shook his head, and left straight away.
Indeed, men must have weaknesses. Those without are the ones with dangerous thoughts.
Watching Ryoichi Elder walk away, Asuka stroked his chin with one hand as he walked home, recalling the plot of his past life.
Through probing, he could be sure that the Uchiha Clan currently had absolutely no intention of staging a coup. Though things were tough, it wasn't worth considering a coup.
Hmm, could it be that Uchiha Fugaku took it upon himself to stage a coup?
Asuka thought of the information revealed by a certain elder during their recent conversation, and squinted towards Naka Shrine.
"Uchiha Fugaku is someone who values the future of the Uchiha Clan more than his own life. Proud of bearing the clan emblem, he is strict with himself, friends, and family, and tirelessly sacrifices for the prosperity of the Uchiha Clan."
A person like this might consider staging a coup when he sees no future for the clan, right? After all, someone who can awaken such eyes is somewhat abnormal in spirit.
Or perhaps start investigating from Danzo's side.
The next day, at the Ninja Academy.
"Iruka!"
A small girl with purple long hair faced Iruka, but her eyes occasionally glanced towards the door, eagerly asking,
"Do you think we'll be placed in the same group? Who will our instructor sensei be?"
"I'm not sure."
Iruka shook his head, then looked at the girl with purple hair, equally hopeful.
"It's probably a Chunin or possibly a Special Jonin, maybe even a Jonin."
"Heh!"
At this moment, a untimely sneer came from beside them. A girl with black hair and white pupils looked disdainfully towards the door and slowly said,
"The Shinobi World War hasn't ended yet. Most Jonin are on missions. How could they possibly come to be our instructor-sensei?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before they could react, the three heard a knocking sound at the door, and before they knew it, someone had pushed open the classroom door from the outside.
Following that, a ninja with short black hair, dressed in a black tight-fitting combat outfit with green Jonin armor, appeared at the door. He held a piece of paper and walked towards the platform.
Looking at the seven or eight children seated in the classroom, he glanced at the list in his hand and shouted.
"Umino Iruka, Uzuki Yugao, Hyuga Hanabi."
Seeing the three stand up nervously, Asuka smiled at them and spoke.
"Follow me."
Watching the Jonin's back as he walked away, and the Uchiha Clan emblem on his back, Yugao and the others exchanged glances, their faces showing a hint of complexity.
"The strength of the Uchiha Clan is inversely proportional to their spirit, a well-known fact in the Shinobi world."
"True, indeed."
Although their instructor was a Jonin, they didn't hope he would be a Uchiha Jonin.
After Asuka led the three to the rooftop, he turned to them and introduced himself.
"I'm Uchiha Asuka, a combat-type Jonin of Konoha. I enjoy eating cooked food, and I also like raw food. My recent hobby is journalism, and my dream is to live a safe life forever. Now it's your turn to introduce yourselves."
"Gurgle~"
Iruka swallowed nervously, took a small step forward, and whispered.
"My name is Umino Iruka, just graduated from the Ninja Academy. I love eating ramen made by Uncle Ichiraku, dislike mustard, enjoy hot springs, and my dream is to become a sensei."
Hmm.
Asuka nodded and shifted his gaze to the girl with purple hair.
"My name is Uzuki Yugao, just graduated from the Ninja Academy. I dislike greasy food, enjoy flower viewing, and as for my dream..."
At this point, Yugao suddenly felt her face heating up. She covered her cheeks with both hands and whispered.
"Can I skip talking about my dream?"
"Sure!"
"Huh?"
Seeing that their instructor was so accommodating, Yugao's eyes widened. Was this Uchiha really so easygoing?
"What about you?"
"My name is Hyuga Hanabi, just graduated from the Ninja Academy. I like eating bananas, dislike milk, enjoy daydreaming, and my dream is freedom."
Looking at the girl with white pupil eyes and the mark on her forehead, Asuka instantly understood the meaning of freedom.
"The Caged Bird Seal?"
A tragic individual.
Thinking this, he casually formed a seal with one hand, summoned three family buckets, and spoke.
"Usually, senseis give students some challenging tests, like pursuing teamwork or grabbing bells and such.
But I'm different.
The way to earn my approval is to finish eating these three family buckets.
If you can't finish, you'll be sent back to the Ninja Academy. After all, I'm a combat-type ninja, and this task as your sensei was forcibly assigned to me by Hokage-sama."
"Just like that?"
The three looked at the family buckets in Asuka's hands, incredulous.
This assessment is simply...
"Of course it's not that simple."
Asuka disappeared in a flash from where he stood. When he reappeared, the three saw the Uchiha ninja holding a pile of food in his hands.
"Milk, mustard, and oil..."
The moment they saw these three types of food, a sense of dread filled the hearts of the three youngsters.
All of them were foods they disliked.
Bang!
Asuka bit open a carton of milk and poured it straight into one of the family buckets.
Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!
Watching the family bucket gradually submerged in milk, Hyuga Hanabi standing nearby had tears in her eyes as she muttered to herself.
"Enough... It's really too much..."
After soaking the family bucket full of milk, he put on gloves and spread a thick layer of mustard on each chicken leg.
Finally, he took out a brush, dipped it in oil a few times, and flicked it onto the chicken legs.
"Ugh!"
Watching the oil dripping down, Asuka couldn't help but shiver. Then, he handed each of them a large bucket, his expression serious.
"This is the first lesson I'm teaching you. Ninjas are not allowed to dislike any food."
"Oh, by the way."
Asuka sat on the railing at this moment, looking at the three conflicted kids. As if he suddenly remembered something, he continued.
"My Medical Ninjutsu skills are very advanced. Although I swore not to use Medical Ninjutsu anymore, if any of you get food poisoning, I can reluctantly treat you. After all, vows are made for others to hear."
"Go ahead and eat. Even if you have to go back to the Ninja Academy and repeat a year, you must finish it today."
The three looked up at Asuka. Seeing his serious expression, they looked back down at the food in their bowls, feeling nauseous instinctively.
Milk soaked with honey mustard... What is this?
Honey mustard plus unknown oil... Will it upset my stomach?
Half a day later.
Gag Gag
Yuck Yuck
Cough~ Cough~ Cough~
Asuka, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by a series of painful groans. He looked at the three people on the rooftop in agony, then glanced at the empty buckets in front of them, a hint of smile appearing on his lips.
"Congratulations, you are now qualified Genin."
"But, sensei, my stomach hurts so much."
Upon hearing this, Asuka jumped down from the platform to where Uzuki Yugao was. Seeing her half kneeling on the ground in pain, he emitted a green light from his palm and placed it on her stomach.
After a moment, feeling somewhat awkward, he scratched his head and muttered.
"Damn unscrupulous villagers. I asked for any random bulk oil, and you gave me fish oil."
Seeing Uzuki Yugao's complexion gradually calming down, he took off his combat uniform and tied it around her waist. Then, he patted Yugao on the head, looking apologetic.
"Um, because you ate fish oil, your intestines couldn't absorb the oil properly. There's a high chance you'll have diarrhea later. Go sit in the school restroom for a while. I'll take you home tonight."
"By the way, don't touch the oil stains on your butt randomly, they're hard to wash."
Upon hearing this, Yugao looked at Uchiha Asuka strangely. She didn't understand why he tied his combat uniform around her waist.
"Oil stains on my butt..."
Unable to resist her curiosity, she reached back and touched it.
"So much oil."
Uzuki Yugao stared fixedly at her oily hand, silent for a long time. She lifted her head, looked at Asuka with a somewhat aggrieved expression, and ran off to the restroom without looking back.
"You drank too much milk, so go sit in the restroom for a while."
"You ate too much mustard, you won't need to go to the restroom, but remember to buy a bottle of laxative from the hospital. You'll have a hard time tomorrow."
After treating the remaining two students, Asuka wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked at the sun gradually sinking in the west and muttered to himself.
"Being a sensei is really exhausting. It's just the beginning and I already feel like shutting myself off."
