Naruto: My Peaceful Life - Chapter 8
Chapter 8 False Peace
Uchiha Kyomoto wanted to say something else, but swallowed it back in the end.
There was no way, as he said, the weak submit to the strong, Uchiha Zhili was the genius of the family.
He started Sharingan at the age of five and his family has high hopes for him!
On the other hand, he, who had not yet opened his eyes at the age of six, was undoubtedly of a lower status.
“Let’s put an end to this farce today. I apologize to everyone on behalf of Kyo! I hope you won’t take this matter to heart. The Uchiha clan is definitely not what everyone thinks!”
Uchihajiri’s words calmed the farce and allowed the civilian children to regain a little dignity.
The impression of Uchiha has improved slightly, but some people still don’t buy it.
They also completely believed their parents’ warning not to bother with the Uchiha clan.
Maruboshi Kosuke was also released by his two friends at this time, and walked up to Kumo Qufeng to express his gratitude.
Then he gave Uchiha Zhili a displeased look and returned to his seat.
In his opinion, it was Qufeng in the Clouds who first spoke and set the Uchiha clan up.
Uchiha Zhili had no choice but to stop them for the sake of his family’s reputation. He now has no good feelings towards the people of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha Jiri also smiled bitterly and said, “It seems that Kosuke-kun hates me a little.”
Qu Feng in the Clouds curled his lips: “There’s nothing we can do. After all, Uchiha Jing’s actions have angered the public, so it’s understandable that he has preconceived notions.”
Uchiha Zhili also understood this principle.
She came to the Ninja Academy to adjust the villagers’ prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
But now it seems that everything has been destroyed by Uchiha Kyo.
As a genius of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Zhili is not arrogant and never looks at others with tinted glasses.
She always felt that the ninjas in the family should not be so arrogant.
It can be clearly seen that she, like Uchiha Kagami, is a relatively peaceful faction within the Uchiha clan.
It was because of Kagami’s influence that Uchiha Chiri chose to come to the Ninja Academy.
Otherwise, a genius like her should be trained within the clan.
“It’s really difficult to change the family and people’s views of the family.”
Qufeng in the cloud smiled and said, “It’s not difficult.”
“Why?”
“As long as you are strong, everyone in your clan will listen to you.”
“Just like the seemingly peaceful ninja world now, it is only a peace forced upon us by the major powers due to the power of the Hokage.”
Uchiha Zhili didn’t expect Qufeng to say that.
But if you think about it carefully, if you want those old antiques in the clan to agree with your and your brother’s ideas, it is impossible to bypass the issue of strength.
After all, without strength, everything is empty talk.
“Then isn’t that the same as Jing? Both are using strength to oppress others.” Zhili said deliberately.
“Of course it’s different. He simply enjoys suppressing and humiliating others to satisfy his own selfish desires.”
“And you want to make the family and the villagers no longer hostile to each other, and allow the Uchiha to truly integrate into the village.”
Zhili laughed, “Mr. Qufeng is really an interesting person. You don’t seem to hate Uchiha.”
Hearing Zhili say this, Qufeng also smiled gently.
“We are all members of the village, and the Uchiha are also Konoha’s Uchiha. There is nothing to dislike.”
When I first met Qufeng from Kumo, although I couldn’t explain it, Zhili felt that he was different from other students.
When Maruboshi Kosuke was being ridiculed, he spoke up for him even though he had only known him for less than half a day.
There is no prejudice against the Uchiha clan, who are feared or hated by everyone.
“As expected, Qufeng is a special person.”
After a while Sarutobi water also returned.
Kumo Qufeng didn’t believe that he didn’t know what happened in the classroom.
But he didn’t mention this matter at all and started the next course directly.
“Alright students, the next day will be about you trying to refine your Chakra, based on what we learned in the last class.”
Sarutobi Mizuya’s words immediately made the students serious.
They all felt deeply powerless in the face of Uchiha Kyo’s ridicule at the end of get out of class.
It’s finally time to start refining Chakra, and everyone is full of energy.
They were all five or six years old. They thought they were no less talented than anyone else and quickly began to summarize the knowledge from the previous lesson.
Without extracting the Chakra, you won’t be able to take the subsequent courses.
But for those who have already extracted Chakra, it is very boring.
I couldn’t talk for fear of disturbing other students. I couldn’t skip class on the first day and could only sit in the classroom.
After about three hours, someone finally extracted the Chakra.
“Mr. Zhenhong, you did a great job. You were able to refine Chakra in three hours. That’s excellent!”
Kumo Qufeng was not surprised by this result.
Later, Maruboshi Kosuke and Umino Ikkaku also successively refined Chakra.
I’m afraid that even the children of some big families may not be able to achieve this speed.
Sarutobi nodded secretly: “It seems that there are many geniuses in this class. I need to report to the Hokage, including what happened just now.”
As a member of the Uchiha clan, although Uchiha Kyo was unable to open his eyes, he successfully extracted his chakra early on.
Seeing that these civilians whom he looked down upon could extract Chakra for the first time faster than him, he felt so angry in his heart!
What he hated even more was that Uchiha Jiri, the family genius, did not speak for him, but instead sided with the group of commoners!
“That white-haired guy! I’ll make you pay in the practical class!”
At this moment, he suddenly saw Qufeng in the clouds also seemed to be seriously refining Chakra.
Then he said in a low voice with disdain: “Tsk! I thought you were so important, but you are just a commoner.”
Then he became more confident about the exam next week. After all, he even learned ninjutsu, and his strength was definitely stronger than that white-haired guy!
If Kumo Qufeng heard what Uchiha Jing said, he would definitely roll his eyes.
In fact, he just didn’t want to waste time sitting there in vain, so he used this time to practice cloud escape.
If he could successfully cultivate the bloodline and eliminate it, then the peaceful life he dreamed of would be secure.
Zhili saw Qufeng beside him and thought that he was practicing hard, so he started practicing too.
And as if there was an infectious disease, the students in the classroom who had extracted their Chakras began to practice.
Except for Uchiha Kyo, of course.
The first day of school ended, and half of the civilian children failed to refine Chakra.
This shows that their talents are not good, and their future achievements will at best be at the level of Chūnin.
There are people in the classroom who are happy and people who are sad, and Kumo Qufeng belongs to the former.
Although today’s practice also failed at the last moment, he has already vaguely found the problem!
If I try a few more times, I might be able to develop the Cloud Escape Technique.
After school, Maruboshi Kosuke and others greeted Qufeng and asked if he wanted to go home together.
Kumo Qufeng agreed, and after saying goodbye to Zhili, the four of them left the school together.
But unfortunately, the four of them didn’t seem to be going in the same direction, as the Kumo tribe’s land was located in the exact opposite direction to the other three people’s homes.
So Kumo Qufeng had to go home alone.
