Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

After his father left, Uchiha Sora leaned against a tree alone, gazing up at the sky. He suddenly realized that the sky was very blue, the deep blue of the ocean. Compared to the industrial world of his previous life, this place was practically a paradise.

That day, he gazed at the azure sky for the entire day.

The next morning, when Shisui woke up, she found her brother practicing shuriken in the yard. Even though he missed every time, he persevered.

A few days later, Shisui discovered that his brother was practicing kunai with a ribbon covering his eyes.

A week later, Uchiha Sora had fully recovered from his injuries. He found Tsunade, thanked her, and returned the slug to her.

On the day of his recovery, he treated everyone to a big meal, including Ichiraku Ramen with sausage. That meal wiped out his savings completely.

For the next week, he continued to train diligently every day. Even though his eyesight had deteriorated, his shooting accuracy was now even higher than at his peak. He used his mind instead of his eyes.

This is the day at the training ground.

"Have you heard? There was someone really amazing at the training ground today. His shuriken skills were absolutely incredible."

"Tch, so what if he's good at shuriken fighting? Every Jonin is pretty good at it." He said dismissively.

"Hey, you don't understand. That person is just a twelve-year-old kid, and he's practicing shuriken flawlessly while masked."

"What! Is that so?! Let's go, let's go see who this person is."

"Tsk, changing faces without getting a bean."

……

In the training field, everyone sat in the stands, watching with great interest the blindfolded boy in the center of the field below.

Suddenly, the wind rose and the clouds surged. A young girl threw dozens of blank sheets of paper into the air. Driven by the wind, the sheets of paper floated with the waves, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

At that moment, the boy's ears twitched slightly, and he leaped up, shooting out three shuriken, which then transformed into dozens of shuriken in mid-air.

Shuriken: Shadow Clone Technique!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, all the white papers were nailed to the ground; not a single one escaped!

"Hiss—! Forgive my dullness, only the word 'Holy shit' can describe my current feelings."

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Just based on this move, this kid is definitely not someone to be trifled with!"

"Whose child is this? So young, yet possessing such skill?"

"Look, isn't he wearing the tribal crest?" someone said, somewhat complicatedly.

Everyone took a closer look and gasped. The "table tennis handle" on the back of the trench coat was so conspicuous.

"Uchiha... I know that the Uchiha clan is indeed in a class of its own in using shuriken and kunai because of the Sharingan, but this person did it blindfolded." Someone looked at the boy in the arena with mixed feelings, and their original intention to befriend him faded.

Uchiha Sora was naturally unaware of what these people were thinking, and even if he had, he would have ignored it.

He only wanted to test his current strength, but he didn't expect to attract so many onlookers.

He took off the ribbon, looked at his masterpiece, and smiled slightly, quite satisfied.

As for the Shadow Clone Technique, it was something he had recently learned. He had accidentally discovered that he had some talent for non-attribute ninjutsu, but he still found it difficult to control attribute ninjutsu such as fire, water, and earth.

"Wow, Sora, you're amazing!" Kurenai Yuhi ran over happily and hugged Sora Uchiha's arm. She was the one who scattered the white paper earlier, and there were many other friends there as well.

"Tsk, you bastard, you were seriously injured, how come you're even stronger after recovering?" Obito muttered.

Kakashi stared silently at Uchiha Sora, and sighed slightly. He understood that Uchiha Sora's strength was on a completely different level from the younger generation.

The situation on the front lines has stabilized, giving him time to train. He has decided to take the Jonin Exams next year.

"Speaking of which, the New Year is just a few days away, isn't it?" Kurenai Yuhi suddenly said.

Everyone was taken aback, only then realizing that it was almost the end of the year, but because of the war, they had all forgotten about it, and there was no festive atmosphere in the village.

"Well, to be precise, there are three more days," Lin said.

"Hehe, Rin, want to spend New Year's Eve with me?" Obito grinned and leaned closer, but Rin shook her head, her gaze falling on Uchiha Sora.

Obito's expression changed, he glared at Uchiha Sora, and slowly raised his hand... raising a middle finger.

Uchiha Sora ignored him, thought for a moment, and said, "It's the New Year, perfect, let's have hot pot that day."

"What is hot pot?" Kurenai asked, looking up in confusion.

Uchiha Sora then remembered that the concept of hot pot didn't exist in the Naruto series yet, so he briefly explained it to everyone.

"Yay! Let's have hot pot!" Kurenai Yuhi cheered, raising her hand.

Rin kept staring at Uchiha Sora, her eyes blinking brightly. Even Obito, unusually, did not refute Uchiha Sora this time.

Since graduating from the Ninja Academy, the group hadn't had much of a get-together, so they were all looking forward to the hot pot dinner in a few days...

At that moment, Kurenai suddenly released Uchiha Sora's arm. Sora looked at her in confusion. Why was this little girl suddenly so flustered?

"Hong has gone home." At that moment, a calm voice came from not far away.

Uchiha Sora glanced over, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked at Kurenai Yuhi, who was burying her head in the sand like an ostrich. He made his judgment.

The middle-aged man in front of him must be Kurenai's father, Yuhi Makoto. Come to think of it, this is the first time he's ever met Kurenai's father.

Hmm...it looks quite intimidating.

"Oh..." Kurenai answered softly, then gave Uchiha Sora an apologetic look before jogging over.

Yuhi Shinku glanced at everyone, said nothing, and turned to leave with Yuhi Kurenai.

A moment of silence fell over everyone. After a long while, Obito scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Hey, don't you guys think Red's dad is pretty fierce?"

"Mmm, I was so scared I didn't dare to speak," Lin said.

Uchiha Sora stroked his chin thoughtfully. He didn't sense any distance from Yuhi Shinku towards the Uchiha, but he could feel Yuhi Shinku's faint displeasure.

Why does it feel like... Hong's father knows me?

He shook his head, chatted with the others for a while, and then left.

However, instead of going home, he went to the park and found a two-seater to sit down.

Then, he took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, and with skillful control of his fingers, a lifelike flower quickly appeared in his hand.

"So, how long are you going to follow me?" he asked, speaking to the air.

There was no answer, and he didn't seem to care, continuing to speak to himself:

"If you wanted to kill me, you had plenty of opportunities in the hospital, but you didn't, which means your goal wasn't to kill me, and not now."

"Are you observing me? Or trying to win me over?"

A gentle breeze stirred, and countless sheets of white paper appeared out of nowhere, creating a tiny tornado in the air before finally coalescing into a human shape beside Uchiha Sora.

"I want to know, how dare you reveal my presence when you're all alone?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sora grinned and subconsciously said:

"You know I understand you."
