Chapter 7: Dangerous Survival Exam

Chapter 7: Dangerous Survival Exam

Uchiha Fugaku watched the backs of his clan members as they left and sighed deeply. As the clan leader, he understood his people well and wasn't worried about what they might do. A narrow-minded person cannot be a leader, let alone the head of the Uchiha clan.

The truth is that his people were very anxious. Just a moment ago, they were deeply concerned, and now they were debating whether the kids should eat fried chicken. Seeing Tobio Uchiha and an elder leave together, with Tobio giving him a bucket of something, Fugaku sighed again. Being the clan leader is exhausting.

Outside.

Tobio had a chicken bone in his mouth and looked at the elder Liang Yi beside him, asking quietly, "Hey, Elder Liang Yi, when are we going to stage the coup?"

"Coup?" Elder Liang Yi trembled, looked at Tobio in panic, then glanced around cautiously and lowered his voice. "Are you leaving me out of it?"

"No."

"Then why haven't I heard about any coup?"

"If we can never become Hokage, shouldn't we stage a coup?"

Do young people today think so dangerously? Seeing the curiosity on Tobio's face, Elder Liang Yi strongly denied it, closed the bucket of fried chicken he had, and looked at Tobio, speaking softly, "Tobio, I am your great-uncle. Even though your parents died early, your great-uncle is still here, so the next time you have dangerous ideas, think of your great-uncle."

Tobio saw the rejection on Elder Liang Yi's face and said softly, "I know you're my great-uncle."

"Then, great-uncle, when should we consider staging a coup?"

Damn it... Elder Liang Yi looked at Tobio angrily. Why does he only think about coups? Can't he live peacefully? Is it because of the war, his comrades died, and he feels empty and loveless? Yes, he is already 18... it's time for him to get married. After a moment of silence, he patted Tobio on the shoulder, shook his head, and left.

Men need to have weaknesses; without them, their thoughts are dangerous.

Watching Elder Liang Yi leave, Tobio stroked his chin with one hand as he walked home, recalling the plot of his past life.

With this test, he could be sure that the Uchiha clan had no intention of staging a coup at that time. Although things were tough, they didn't justify a coup.

Hmm, could it be that Fugaku Uchiha decided to stage the coup on his own? Recalling a recent conversation with an elder, Tobio looked towards the Naka Shrine.

Fugaku Uchiha is someone who values the clan's future more than his own life. He is proud to bear the clan emblem and is very strict with his friends, family, and himself, sacrificing for the prosperity of the Uchiha clan. Would someone like that consider a coup if he saw no future for the clan? After all, having those eyes means his mind can't be quite normal.

It's better to investigate Danzo first.

The next day, at the ninja academy.

"Iruka!"

A purple-haired girl looked at Iruka and, glancing towards the door, asked excitedly, "Do you think we'll be on the same team? Who will be our sensei?"

"I don't know." Iruka shook his head, looking at the purple-haired girl with the same anticipation. "It'll probably be a chunin or maybe a special jonin, it could even be a jonin."

"Ha!"

A sarcastic laugh was heard nearby. A black-haired girl with white eyes looked disdainfully towards the door and said slowly, "The ninja war isn't over yet, most of the jonin are on missions, how could they be our sensei?"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Just after her words, there was a knock on the door, and before they could react, the classroom door opened from the outside.

A ninja with short black hair, dressed in black combat clothes and a green jonin armor, appeared. He held a sheet of paper in his hand and walked to the podium.

Looking at the seven or eight kids in the classroom, he glanced down at the list in his hand and called out, "Umino Iruka, Uzuki Yugao, Hyuga Hana."

Seeing the three stand up nervously, Tobio smiled at them and said, "Follow me."

Seeing the jonin leave and the Uchiha clan emblem on his back, Yugao and the others exchanged complicated looks.

The Uchiha clan... their strength and sanity are inversely proportional, that's well known in the ninja world.

Even though their sensei was a jonin, they didn't want him to be an Uchiha.

When Tobio led the three to the rooftop, he turned around and said, "My name is Uchiha Tobio, I'm a combat jonin of Konoha. I like cooked food, although I also eat it raw. My recent hobby is being a reporter, and my dream is to live a safe life. Now it's your turn to introduce yourselves."

"Gulp..."

Iruka swallowed hard, took a small step forward, and said softly, "My name is Umino Iruka, I just graduated from the ninja academy. I like ramen from Uncle Teuchi, I don't like wasabi, my hobby is going to hot springs, and my dream is to be a teacher."

Tobio nodded and looked at the purple-haired girl.

"My name is Uzuki Yugao, I just graduated from the ninja academy. I don't like greasy food, my hobby is watching flowers, and my dream..." Suddenly, Yugao felt herself blushing, covered her cheeks, and said softly, "Can I not say my dream?"

"Of course."

"Eh?"

Seeing her sensei being so understanding, Yugao widened her eyes. An Uchiha so understanding?

"And you?"

"My name is Hyuga Hana, I just graduated from the ninja academy. I like eating bananas, I don't like milk, my hobby is daydreaming, and my dream is to be free."

Looking at the girl with white eyes and the mark on her forehead, Tobio immediately understood what she meant by wanting to be free.

A caged bird? Poor girl.

Thinking of this, he made some hand seals and summoned three buckets of fried chicken, saying, "Usually, sensei give difficult tests to their students, like competing for bells to foster teamwork. But I am different. To gain my approval, you must eat these three buckets of fried chicken. If you can't do it, I'll send you back to the ninja academy, because I am a combat jonin and this mission was assigned to me by the Hokage."

"Is it that easy?"

The three looked at the buckets of fried chicken in Tobio's hand with disbelief.

This exam is...

"Of course it's not that easy."

Saying this, Tobio suddenly disappeared, and when he returned, the three saw he was carrying more food. Milk, wasabi, and oil.

Seeing these foods, the three kids felt a bad premonition.

It was exactly what they hated!

Bang! Tobio opened a bottle of milk and poured it into one of the buckets of fried chicken.

Glug! Glug! Glug! Seeing the fried chicken soaked in milk, Hana almost cried.

"Enough... enough..."

After soaking the chicken in milk, Tobio put on gloves and coated each piece with a thick layer of wasabi.

Finally, he took a brush, dipped it in oil, and sprayed the chicken.

Ugh! Seeing the chicken dripping with oil, Tobio shuddered and handed the buckets to the three, saying seriously, "This is the first lesson. A ninja can't have food they dislike."

"Oh, by the way,"

Tobio sat on the railing, looking at the kids, and continued, "My medical ninjutsu skills are very high. Although I vowed not to use them anymore, if you get food poisoning, I can cure you. After all, promises are for strangers."

"Eat, even if you want to repeat the year at the academy, you must finish today."

The three looked at Tobio, then at the buckets of food, and felt nauseous. Milk with wasabi... what is this? Honey with wasabi and oil? Will it harm us?

A while later.

Vomiting sounds echoed. Tobio woke up to the sounds of nausea, saw the three in agony, then looked at the empty buckets and smiled.

"Congratulations, you are now official genin."

"Sensei, my stomach hurts..."

Tobio jumped in front of Yugao, seeing her kneeling in pain. His hand glowed with a green aura, and he placed it on her stomach.

After a moment, he scratched his head and murmured, "The dishonest merchants gave me fish oil instead of regular oil."

Seeing Yugao calm down, Tobio took off his jacket and tied it around her waist, saying apologetically, "Due to the fish oil, you'll have diarrhea. Go to the bathroom, and I'll take you home tonight. Oh, and don't touch the oil stain on your backside, it's hard to clean."

Yugao looked at Tobio puzzled, not understanding why he tied the jacket.

The oil stain... She couldn't help but touch it and...

"Too much oil..."

Seeing her hand full of oil, Yugao fell silent for a long time. She lifted her head, looked at Tobio with teary eyes, and ran to the bathroom.

"You drank a lot of milk, you should go to the bathroom too."

"And you ate a lot of wasabi, you don't need to go to the bathroom, but buy a laxative for tomorrow."

After healing the other two, Tobio wiped the sweat off his brow and looked at the setting sun, murmuring, "Being a sensei is exhausting, we just started and I already want to quit."
