Chapter – 7 Fighting the Legendary Villains? (Patreon)

After the decline of the Senju Clan in the past few years, the Uchiha Clan has begun to proclaim itself as the number one Clan in Konoha and the rest of the Shinobi World.

The people of the Uchiha Clan generally look down on civilians, even the members of other Shinobi Clans aren’t any different in the eyes of many Uchiha Clansmen.

There is always this sense of superiority in their eyes.

The children of Uchiha naturally inherit this sense of superiority.

Uchiha Ryota, Uchiha Hiroshi, and Uchiha Kazama are among these few children. They have very high self-esteem and believe themselves to be a cut above all even in the Uchiha Clan.

And they planned to perform better than everyone in the entrance test in order to prove their superiority.

Unfortunately, all their plans were messed up by Tatsumi.

During the entrance test, Tatsumi completed 200 laps at his top speed, and similar to most of the other candidates, these three Uchiha were also influenced by Tatsumi and speeded up to beat him, in doing so, they ran out of strength early, subsequently, not only did they fail to rank at the top, but they were defeated by many candidates from other Shinobi Clans and civilians.

As a result, they only got above-average grades on the entrance test and were unable to show off to others.

All their plans were messed up, and they could no longer look down on the children of other clans.

What’s more frustrating is the fact that the person who ranked first and got the highest grade is Tatsumi, someone they often bullied.

Angered, the three of them decided to teach Tatsumi a lesson he would never forget.

Tatsumi dared to steal all the limelight, obviously, he has to suffer the consequences.

Uchiha Ryota, Uchiha Hiroshi, and Uchiha Kazama stood together, blocking Tatsumi and Mikoto’s way, their intention very clear.

Ryota–the leader of the three–folded his hands over his chest and looked at his first lackey–Hiroshi.

Hiroshi immediately understood Ryota’s intention, and took a step forward, “Tatsumi… come with us.”

Tatsumi questioned with a confused expression, “Huh? What’s the matter?”

Of course, he understood their intention, but he chose to play ignorant, otherwise, where’s the fun?

“We just want to talk with you… after all, we are going to be in the same class… it’s natural for us to interact, don’t you agree?” said Kazama with a dark smile.

“Is that so?” muttered Tatsumi, then he smirked lightly and asked, “But what if I don’t want to talk?”

At Tatsumi’s question, Ryota cracked his fingers and said with a dark smile, “We can find a way to convince you.”

Facing the provocation from the three, “Yare… Yare… It seems I have no other choice.” Muttered Tatsumi with a sigh and shook his head helplessly and decided to go with them. After all, he was also itching to have a ‘pleasant conversation’ with three.

But before Tatsumi could take any step forward, Mikoto came in front of him, and said to the three, “Enough you three… Leave Tatsumi-kun alone!”

It’s obvious that three of them are here for a fight. And she wasn’t just going to stand and watch them bully Tatsumi. Although Mikoto believes that one-on-one Tatsumi is definitely stronger than all three of them, when facing all three of them at the same time, even he won’t be able to do anything.

“Mi… Mikoto-chan… don’t interfere in this… This is between us and Tatsumi!” said Ryota, a little flustered facing Mikoto’s angry eyes.

The shrewd one among the three, Kazama said with a dark smile, “Tatsumi… if you are a man, then stop hiding behind Mikoto-chan… and face us!” No doubt, Kazama also had a crush on Mikoto.

Well, it can’t be helped. Mikoto is indeed very cute, it’s natural that boys are attracted to her.

‘These guys…’ thought Tatsumi with a strange expression. Just five or six years old kids already have such thoughts.

Tatsumi agrees that Mikoto is indeed such a girl whom a lot of boys would crush, but seeing this happen in front of him, he really had to sigh at the emotional intelligence of the children of this world.

Mikoto didn’t realize the boy’s thoughts, and said to them, “Tatsumi-kun doesn’t need to prove anything to you… And he won’t be going anywhere with the three of you, so leave, now!”

All three boys had bad expressions upon hearing Mikoto’s words.

It seems that Mikoto didn’t have the intention of allowing Tatsumi to go with them.

Knowing her thoughts, Ryota clicked his tongue in annoyance, and said to Tatsumi, “She won’t be there every time… watch your back carefully!” then turned around and left.

Hiroshi and Kazama also turned and left, but not before giving a death glare to Tatsumi.

Tatsumi looked at their leaving backs with a disappointed expression, ‘Hey, I was waiting for them to attack me.’

After the three of them left, Mikoto turned around and said to him, “Tatsumi-kun, you have to be careful of them.”

Tatsumi chuckled, “What are you so worried about?” Then he patted her head, and reassured her, “Don’t worry, they are weaker than me.”

Mikoto nodded with a blush.

The two then went their ways, firstly, Tatsumi dropped Mikoto at her house, and then he returned to his home, “I am home.”

After freshening up, Tatsumi thought about what to do. And the first thing that came to his mind is naturally, ‘Training’

Although he is strong for his age, this doesn’t mean he can relax.

Even if he can improve his talent in all aspects of Shinobi arts using Ninja Point thanks to his system, that is only raw talent, not strength. For strength, he needs to work hard regularly. And hard work is what intends to do.

With this intention, Tatsumi made preparations and ran towards the forest behind Hokage Rock.

…

Although the treatment of war orphans in Konoha is very good, and children don’t need to worry about food and other basic amenities because of the relief funds, however, something as luxurious as a personal training ground is not something orphan children are allowed to have.

Of course, the Uchiha Clan has their own personal training facilities, and Tatsumi can go there if he wants, but he doesn’t use those facilities because he is often subjected to bullying and mockery at that place.

Since he doesn’t have any other option, the forest behind the Hokage Rock has become his go-to place for carrying out his training.

Basic shinobi training can be carried out here without any problem.

And since the current Uchiha District is located at the centre of Konoha, so it doesn’t take him very long to come here.

Normally, when he comes here while running, so there is often a notification from the system as he is awarded Ninja Points, however, today there was no notification because Tatsumi didn’t run all the way, he had deliberately slowed down as he noticed something.

From the moment he had passed through the gate of Uchiha District, he was being followed.

It’s a pity that the people following him aren’t experts and he noticed them and deliberately slowed down.

As the forest got closer, Tatsumi looked behind from the corner of his eyes, ‘It’s almost time.’ Then he suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted, “All right… you guys should come out now. I have since noticed you, people, following me.”

For a while nothing happened, seeing this, Tatsumi said, “If you guys don’t come out now, I will run away. You guys should know that I am fast, if I run, you won’t be able to catch up!”

As soon as he said these words, three figures suddenly appeared before him and surrounded him.

These three were none other than Ryota, Hiroshi, and Kazama.

Ryota looked at Tatsumi, and said arrogantly, “You should have run while you still had the opportunity! This time, Mikoto-chan is not here to protect you!”

“Hahaha… run? Why run? In fact, I should thank you, guys, for all the hard work you guys are doing… my foolish clansmen!” said Tatsumi with an excited expression.

“Shut up… you are the fool!” shouted Hiroshi, “I am going to teach you a lesson for making a fool out of us!”

Tatsumi chuckled, “So what are you guys going to do?” and asked eagerly, “Fight?!”

He hasn’t had any opportunity to test his strength, and what better targets than the three bullies?

Not only will he be able to teach them a lesson, but he will also be able to gain some experience, probably.

“That’s right… we are here to beat you up and teach you a lesson!” said Ryota as he took a step forward.

“I see… but do you really believe you can defeat me?!” asked Tatsumi as he folded his arms over his chest.

Ryota said confidently, “Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you are a little fast… I have learned a new move recently, and I will beat you up with that move!”

Tatsumi was more eager to fight now, “Hooh… then what are you waiting for, let’s do it!”

Ryota raised his hand and said, “This won’t be a simple fight… it’s a bet… as long as I win… you have to do what I ask of you… do you accept?”

“Oh? A bet…” muttered Tatsumi in surprise. As far as he can see, Ryota seems a little too confident, all the more reason to fight him. With this in mind, Tatsumi asked, “And what happens if I win?”

“Ain’t gonna happen!” said Hiroshi, he had stupid trust in Ryota’s strength, and said, “And… have you forgotten your past experiences?”

“It seems I really need to show you the difference,” said Tatsumi and took his stance.

Ryota did the same, “After this day, you’ll never run fast!”

“We’ll see.” Said Tatsumi.

Hiroshi and Kazama cheered for Ryota.

“Ryota… teach him a good lesson!”

“Break his nose for me!”
