Around Tsunade, several children from the Senju clan were gathered together.
They chatted and laughed, not taking the assessment seriously at all.
After all, the entrance exam is nothing more than a physical fitness test, or a test of how fast one can gather chakra.
These are things that the ninja clans, especially the Senju, certainly don't lack in terms of physical strength, and even if they haven't learned chakra guidance, they've at least heard of it.
If someone truly lacks talent, they will be selected at birth.
Not far from them, Jiraiya and Orochimaru were also waiting for the test.
At this point, the three were strangers to each other, but in the future, they would become inseparable and close friends.
Ultimately, these three will go down different paths due to their differing ideologies, but this time, with Uchiha Seiryu involved, perhaps the ending will be different.
Just as Uchiha Seiryu was still searching for someone he recognized, a loud whistle made him look over involuntarily.
A ninja with a scarred face, holding a whistle, walked towards them with a terrifying expression.
"Stop arguing, the assessment will now officially begin!"
"Assemble now and form lines of fifty for the physical fitness test. Anyone who makes a sound will be kicked out and disqualified from the test!"
The terrifying face and threatening tone silenced the playground instantly, and some people unconsciously began to do as instructed.
The children from the ninja clans were naturally not afraid, but they also saw no need to cause trouble, so they cooperated willingly.
In no time, the once chaotic playground became quiet, and the crowd automatically split into groups of fifty.
Seeing this, the scarred ninja's expression softened, but he still kept a straight face.
"My name is Tu Qizhi, and I am your examiner for today's physical test. Now, those standing next to me, please go to the track to begin the test."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the people to follow him.
"Let me tell you the standards. The basic qualification for admission is to run ten laps in ten minutes. Secondly, the faster you run, the higher your score will be, and the better you will be placed in the class."
"Let's begin. After you finish the physical fitness test, remember to go to the room behind me to take the chakra extraction test."
'It's pretty simple, not difficult at all. But since I'll be in the same class as Tsunade, I still need to be careful not to hide too much.'
After hearing the assessment criteria, Uchiha Seiryu made up his mind that he had to stick with the first group, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get into the elite class.
Just as he was thinking, a bright green figure caught his attention.
His dark green jumpsuit, shiny hair, and gleaming teeth drew strange looks from many people.
Uchiha Seiryu also revealed a different kind of look, but it was a look of surprise.
'I didn't expect Might Guy to enroll around the same time. To have the aura of a mere mortal and yet possess such incredible power—the Eight Gates! The Might family is truly remarkable.'
He then saw Matt Daly's lackluster performance; while he wasn't at the bottom, he barely passed the assessment.
It's not surprising that Uchiha Seiryu was born with such talent; Might Guy's natural talent wasn't great, otherwise he wouldn't have become an all-around genin later on.
The reason he was able to defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, killing some and forcing others to flee, was the result of his unwavering dedication to training for twenty years.
'However, today marks the first step in the plan. Konoha is truly brimming with talent; we can't let the Third Hokage ruin it all.'
Next, it was Uchiha Hoshiryu's turn for the test. He stretched his muscles and walked towards the track.
Chapter 7 An unexpected encounter with Mito Uzumaki
As the sun gradually climbed to its highest point, its scorching rays beat down on the earth, making people drenched in sweat.
As time went by, the ninja academy's tests soon came to an end.
As the proctor announced the test results, a large group of people noisily squeezed out of the testing area.
Uchiha Seiryu naturally wasn't in a hurry, and waited until everyone had almost dispersed before arriving at the Ninja Academy's bulletin board.
Meanwhile, a large crowd had gathered around the bulletin board, some looking excited, while the children not on the list looked dejected.
As he expected, his name was on the admission list for the elite class.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade were admitted to the elite class, while Might Guy remained in the regular class.
This result was in line with his expectations. Although Jiraiya and Orochimaru did not belong to the ninja clan, they were still very talented.
Orochimaru goes without saying, and although Jiraiya was a bottom-of-the-class student before signing with Mount Myōboku, he was still the bottom-of-the-class student in the elite group.
Moreover, he has an absurd amount of chakra; otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to train in Sage Mode.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon, and there was no time to go back and prepare lunch.
Having received a lot of compensation from the clan today, Uchiha Seiryu decided to indulge himself and go to BBQ Q for a good meal.
We arrived at BBQ Q in a great hurry, lifted the curtain at the entrance, and went inside.
As soon as Uchiha Seiryu entered the store, the owner walked up to him with a smile and took his order.
The last time he ate here, his bill was higher than that of a group of other people, so the owner was naturally very happy.
Uchiha Seiryu calmly ordered his food. After all, he was paying for it himself; he would only smile if he got it for free.
Today's barbecue was packed with people; the tables were full, mostly people celebrating their children's successful enrollment in school.
Just then, a young woman with blood-red hair tied in a bun led Tsunade into the store.
"Grandma, I got into the best class! How are you going to reward me today?"
Tsunade skipped and hopped over to Mito Uzumaki, her joy evident.
It's obvious that Tsunade's grandmother, with her red hair, is none other than Mito Uzumaki.
Mito Uzumaki then knelt down and gently patted Tsunade's head.
Looking around at the crowd of people, she felt a little distressed.
Then her eyes lit up as she spotted Uchiha Seiryu alone, and she pointed at him, saying:
"Then let me introduce you to a handsome young man."
After saying that, he ignored Tsunade's awkward expression and led her to Uchiha Seiryu.
"Handsome young man, would you mind sharing a table? All the other seats are full. How about I treat you this time?"
Uchiha Seiryu, who was just watching the drama unfold, was suddenly stunned; the drama had turned into a drama in itself.
'So, Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki's personalities are so fiery, they must have learned them from Mito Uzumaki...'
However, when he heard Mito Uzumaki say that he would treat everyone, his expression immediately brightened and he smiled broadly.
"Sure, beautiful older sister and cute younger sister."
Seeing Uchiha Seiryu's smile, Uzumaki Mito felt something was off, but she was very happy that Uchiha Seiryu called her "pretty older sister".
So she didn't pay much attention to this small matter; it was just a meal. The whole street belonged to her, and she had no interest in money.
Pulling the reluctant Tsunade to sit opposite Uchiha Seiryu, Uzumaki Mito asked with a hint of pity:
"Young man, you're also starting school this year. Which class are you in?"
She saw that Uchiha Seiryu was so young, yet he came here to eat all by himself.
Considering the recent war, it is highly likely that both of the child's parents perished.
Therefore, Mito Uzumaki would naturally not provoke such trouble; having lived for decades, she still possessed this much wisdom.
Uchiha Seiryu looked puzzled by Mito Uzumaki's gaze, but still answered her question.
"I also enrolled this year and entered the elite class."
Tsunade was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Uchiha Seiryu was in the same class as him.
Although her friends didn't go to the regular classes, they were all in the relatively less prestigious Elite Class 2.
However, she was still a little unhappy, and pouted as she said to Mito Uzumaki:
“Grandma, look at the clan crest on his body. He’s from the Uchiha clan.”
Upon hearing this, Mito Uzumaki's expression changed immediately, and she said to Tsunade with a serious face:
“That’s not right of you, Tsunade. I can understand if there are discordant voices within the clan, after all, we’ve been fighting the Uchiha for so long.”
“But you can’t. You are Hashirama Senju’s granddaughter. Everyone will be watching you.”
"The Uchiha are also members of the village. You must set an example by accepting the Uchiha, otherwise your great-grandfather's lifelong wish will be ruined."
After saying that, Mito Uzumaki turned around and said apologetically to Seiryu Uchiha:
"I'm sorry, Tsunade is still young, and she may not understand these principles very well yet."
"I can see you really like this restaurant. How about this, from now on you don't need to pay when you come to eat here, just put the bill on my tab."
Seeing Mito's serious expression, Tsunade, though not quite understanding the reasoning behind it, obediently apologized to Uchiha Seiryu.
"I'm sorry, please forgive my mistake."
Seeing the two people, one big and one small, apologizing to him, Uchiha Seiryu quickly said:
"It's okay, don't be so serious."
These words naturally wouldn't anger Uchiha Seiryu, not to mention that he himself was in a state of semi-abandonment by the Uchiha clan.
His vision was not limited by any one clan, but he never expected that Mito Uzumaki would have such a magnanimous heart.
Despite his solitary nature within Konoha and his apparent xenophobia that prevents him from integrating well into the village, Uchiha may not be as independent as he seems.
The truth is quite the opposite: the village cannot tolerate the Uchiha, which will inevitably lead to a war between the Uchiha and Konoha.
Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha established Konoha with the intention of ensuring that every child of the ninja clan could grow up healthy.
Hashirama Senju had this ideal, so naturally he wouldn't reject the Uchiha clan, and under his influence, no one would reject the Uchiha clan.
However, he later went against Madara Uchiha's wishes, and their battle left Hashirama Senju severely injured, leading to his death not long after.
This directly caused Konoha to lose its fighting power to suppress the ninja world, and indirectly led to the outbreak of war.
Therefore, Konoha's unintentional rejection of the Uchiha clan was a result of incompetent misplaced anger, but it was also an understandable aspect of human nature.
After all, so many people died in the Fourth Shinobi World War, and it's natural that the lovers, parents, or children of those who died would take their anger out on others.
The resentment from the village, Tobirama Senju's overt schemes, and the Uchiha's own arrogant nature made this clan incompatible with the village.
However, Mito Uzumaki, who should have been most angry with the Uchiha clan, chose to protect the overall situation. This courage and magnanimity impressed Seiryu Uchiha.
