C4 Ninja School

Early in the morning, Tenno finished his ablutions and sat down for breakfast. Afterwards, he stood before the mirror, adjusting his attire. Instead of the plain coat he typically wore while forging weapons, he had donned a long robe, cinched at the waist with a belt. His hair was tied up high, giving him the air of a wandering swordsman. Reflected back at him was a tall, slender figure with handsome features and a remarkable presence.

His sister Tiantian was dressed in a pink cheongsam, altered for ease of movement to practice her Body Technique. With her hair in two neat braids, she looked quite pretty.

"Let's go!" Tenno called out.

With their belongings in tow, Tenno and Tiantian left the house together. Today marked the start of Ninja School, and excitement was in the air. A throng of children and their parents had already gathered at the school's entrance, queuing up to take part in the ninja aptitude test. The parents were eager to discover if their offspring possessed the innate abilities of a ninja.

The test itself was straightforward, designed to assess the students' physical prowess and potential to harness Chakra.

Surveying the crowd, Tenno noted he wasn't in the same grade as Naruto and his peers, so no familiar faces stood out to him. However, he did spot several individuals sporting the emblems of the Uchiha, Sarutobi, and Inuzuka clans. Tenno had a hunch that, barring any surprises, he would encounter characters from the original story, like Hyuga Neji and Lee Rock.

Before long, it was time for Tenno and Tiantian to undergo their entrance exam. It posed no challenge for them, and they breezed through, earning spots in the same class.

Upon entering their new classroom, they instantly drew the gaze of their classmates.

"That guy's pretty good-looking," someone remarked.

"But what good is that? His outfit doesn't suggest he's from any notable ninja clan. He's not going anywhere," another scoffed.

"Exactly! In our year, Hyuga Neji is the top student. He's not just handsome; his abilities are top-notch too," a third added.

Overhearing the murmurs, Tiantian turned to Tenno with a mix of curiosity and concern. "Brother, who's this Neji they're talking about? Is he really stronger than you?"

"Hyuga Neji is the young master of a branch of the Hyuga family, and the son of the current clan leader's brother," Tenno explained succinctly, a faint smile on his face. He added, "I'm not entirely sure of his abilities, but I believe I might be slightly stronger than him."

"I think you're the strongest too," Tiantian said, her smile sweet.

As Tenno and Tiantian were talking, a child with thick eyebrows and large eyes approached them.

"May I sit with you?"

"Of course," Tenno replied with a nod.

He quickly realized that the boy before him was the genuine, spirited youth from the original story—Lee Rock.

"Hi, I'm Lee Rock. Are you both civilian ninjas too? Can we be friends?" Lee Rock asked, his face turning red as he spoke with a stutter. He seemed quite shy and anxious.

"Absolutely. I'm Tenno," he replied with a welcoming smile.

"And I'm Tiantian, his sister! A friend of my brother is a friend of mine," Tiantian chimed in cheerfully.

"Thank you so much!" Lee Rock exclaimed, his face alight with excitement.

His grateful expression took Tiantian by surprise. "We're just making friends; there's no need to thank us," she said.

Just then, the previously noisy classroom fell silent.

All eyes turned to Lee Rock.

Mocking laughter echoed from a distance.

"Can you believe someone actually wants to be friends with that fool Lee Rock?"

"Big deal if he can extract Chakra. Does he really think he can become a ninja?"

"Exactly! They're nothing but lowlifes dreaming of becoming ninjas. It's laughable!"

"That's too far!" Tiantian exclaimed, slamming her hand on the table before rising to her feet, her eyes wide and face flushed with anger.

She now understood why Lee Rock was so moved by their offer of friendship.

Was he being ridiculed just because he came from a commoner's family?

The ones who had just mocked Lee Rock were taken aback by Tiantian's fierce response.

But they quickly remembered she was just a regular girl with no significant family background. There was no reason for them to be afraid of her.

"Feeling a bit skeptical? Let me show you what a true ninja is capable of!" The taunts from the group grew louder and more intense.

"Don't bother arguing with them, Tiantian. They've all been trained as ninjas by their families; we're no match for them," Lee Rock said with a sigh.

Just then, a shadow flashed before Lee Rock's eyes.

Tenno?

Lee Rock paused, then quickly warned, "Tenno, I was just telling them how skilled they are in combat!"

But in the next instant, Lee Rock was left speechless.

Tenno moved with lightning speed, reaching the group before they could react. With a swift motion, his fist connected, and the three were sent flying through the air.

"You guys are too weak," Tenno said, his voice dripping with scorn.

The classroom fell into a stunned silence.

All eyes were fixed on Tenno, who had remained quiet until now.

Without uttering a word, he had taken down three opponents!

This Tenno was incredibly strong!

"You ambushed us!" one of the young Inuzuka Clan members yelled, clutching his face, as he accused Tenno.

"It's just that you're too slow," Tenno replied coolly, a faint smile on his face.

"How dare you hit us? Brothers, let's take him down together!" The group was furious. Rising from the ground, they charged at Tenno from all sides.

Tenno watched them approach without a hint of worry. He didn't even need to draw his Kunai.

This was merely a scuffle between new students, hardly a challenge.

In the end, a fist is the true measure of power!

These three, despite their Body Technique training, couldn't match Tenno's strength.

As the nearest one lunged with a punch, Tenno stepped forward.

He was right beside him in an instant.

Then, with a swift move, he grabbed the attacker's arm and hurled him towards the other two!

The trio collided with a distant wall with a resounding crash!
