Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

"By the way, why is Sora with Obito?"

The weather turned cool, but for a ninja's physique, this coolness didn't feel cold, but rather refreshing.

Kurenai Yuhi narrowed her eyes, her gaze shifting back and forth between Sora Uchiha and Obito.

Obito shuddered. Kurenai Yuhi looked at him as if he were a street thug abducting an innocent young man.

He felt offended again, his whole body went numb, and he snorted.

"Why can't Kong be with me? Hong, I seriously suspect you have a problem with me."

"Oh, no~" Kurenai Yuhi withdrew her gaze and waved her hand. "I just feel... well, Obito, you're such a carefree person, which doesn't quite match the natural detached feeling that Sora has."

"Heh, then tell me, who does Sora team up with?" Obito sneered.

"Of course it's me! I'm vibrant and bustling, while I'm cold and desolate—that's the perfect match for me."

"That's biased! Do you like Kurenai?!" Obito shouted, finding Kurenai's theory flawed.

He originally thought that these words would make Kurenai Yuhi back down, but who knew...

The latter proudly puffed out her chest; the girl's magnanimity was already beginning to emerge. At eleven or twelve, a girl's mind wasn't yet filled with so many complexities.

"Yes, I just like Sora. It's not just me, Rin is the same. Unlike some people, who clearly like someone but don't dare to say it."

Obito was startled, like a cat with its fur standing on end. He quickly looked towards Rin, only to see her slightly tilt her head, her face flushed, tugging at Kurenai's sleeve. "Kurenai!"

A boy's heart shattered quietly, like glass.

"Kurenai Yuhi—!!!"

Uchiha coughed twice and grabbed Obito.

If he doesn't step in, Obito might just start fighting Kurenai on the spot.

"Calm down, there are people watching," he said in a low voice.

Obito looked around and, sure enough, quite a few people were subtly glancing in his direction.

His face looked terrible, his nose felt itchy, he turned his head away, and didn't want to talk anymore; he seemed a bit like an autistic teenager.

"Kurenai, don't say anything either." Uchiha Kujo flicked his finger, seeing that Kurenai Yuhi seemed to be about to finish her off, and quickly flicked her.

Kurenai held her head in her hands and glared fiercely at Uchiha Sora, clearly displeased that Sora had sided with Obito.

Mitarashi Anko stared intently at the group, swallowing hard.

Wow! That's incredible!

When did Hong become so fierce?

The image of Kurenai Yuhi immediately became towering in her mind.

"By the way, what are you two doing shopping together?" Uchiha Sora quickly changed the subject, trying to dispel the awkward atmosphere.

Kurenai crossed her arms, turned her head away, and her face clearly said, "Don't talk to me."

Uchiha Sora touched his nose, turning his gaze to Rin. Fortunately, Rin's temper wasn't as fiery as Kurenai's. She said softly:

"The situation is tense at the front. We Chunin who just passed the assessment will soon be going to the battlefield. Kurenai took us shopping to relax."

Uchiha Sora suddenly understood. So that's why Kurenai Yuhi was so irritable today. It was because of the negative emotions she was about to face on the battlefield.

He thought for a moment, then reached out and placed his hand on Kurenai's head, gently rubbing it.

"Don't worry, it's alright," he said, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the faces of the girls whose faces were covered in face paint.

"Everyone will be alright." His voice was slow, but incredibly firm.

Uchiha Sora's voice seemed to possess a magical power, soothing the Chunin.

Kurenai felt the warmth emanating from the top of her head, a blush spreading to her earlobe, and she softly hummed in response.

……

"So, where are you guys planning to go later?"

After everyone had calmed down, Uchiha Sora asked.

"We're planning to go to the training grounds," Kurenai Yuhi said, her voice tinged with gentleness. At this moment, she was surprisingly hesitant to face Kurenai Uchiha.

"Training grounds? What are we going there for?" Uchiha Sora asked, puzzled.

Lin rolled her eyes at him, and seemed to have switched personalities with Kurenai Yuhi, becoming much more lively... or rather, reverting to her original personality.

Just now, when Uchiha Sora told them that everything would be alright, his gaze was completely focused on her for a moment. She felt it and was very happy.

"Because, Teacher Minato will be teaching everyone about war at the training ground later."

"Minato-sensei?" Uchiha Sora was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Namikaze Minato! He's actually in the village at this time."

He knew that the person in charge of Rin's Class 7 was Minato Namikaze, and in a way, Minato was also his teacher.

However, as the war began, Minato Namikaze was often active on various battlefields under the title of "Yellow Flash," and he rarely returned to the village.

Unexpectedly, I've returned to the village today.

only……

He looked at everyone with some confusion, "How did you all know Minato would be giving instructions at the training ground today?"

The group exchanged strange glances, but in the end, it was Kurenai Yuhi who stood up.

"Someone from the security force specifically notified the ninjas who had passed the Chunin Exams."

Uchiha Sora hummed in response, his expression completely unchanged, as if he had just asked a casual question.

Interesting, very interesting. Everyone else received the notification, but he, the top scorer in the Chunin Exams, received no news at all.

Even Obito, who was also from the Uchiha clan, was notified.

So the problem only lies with the higher-ups in Konoha or with Minato Namikaze.

The possibility of Minato is extremely slim. After all, they had a pleasant time together, and he doesn't think Minato would unilaterally cut him off.

So, the problem lies with the higher-ups in Konoha: the Third Hokage? Or the Root organization?

He sneered inwardly. He knew why. Some of the higher-ups in Konoha were afraid of his talent, afraid that he would be the next Fugaku Uchiha. This was a warning to him.

In Fugaku Uchiha's generation, at least the Konoha higher-ups controlled his grandfather, Kagami Uchiha, to limit Fugaku Uchiha.

In this generation, none of his peers can restrict him. If he becomes the Uchiha clan leader in the future, he will have absolute power.

After all... Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were still young and had not yet come into the sight of the Konoha leadership.

After thinking it through, he felt even more strongly that his father's decision to change the status of the Uchiha clan through the Third Shinobi World War was absolutely correct.

"Perhaps they forgot to inform me." Uchiha Sora smiled slightly. "I'll go to the training ground with you later."

A moment of silence fell over everyone. Had they forgotten to inform the winner of the Chunin Exams? The possibility was no less likely than the Third Hokage choking on his water.

They knew more or less about the current situation of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.

They didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Uchiha Sora followed behind the group, his head down, making it impossible to see his expression. However, if someone bent down to look, they would find that he was actually smiling.

Deliberately ignoring him?

So, what will happen if he shows up at the training ground on his own initiative?

That's interesting, so interesting!

Perhaps due to genetics, Uchiha Sora also possessed the arrogance common to most Uchiha.
