“Lady Hinata, please slow down.”

Hyuga Tokuma watched Hinata hurry out and couldn’t help but call out to her.

He quickly followed her.

Is she so excited because school is starting?

At the door, Hinata abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Her heart trembled, and she immediately lowered her head.

Her recent impolite behavior must have disappointed her father again.

After being confined for four days, the thought of possibly seeing Younyu Zhihui at school momentarily made her forget herself.

“Hinata.”

Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly.

How can she bear the responsibility of the Hyuga clan with such a timid attitude?

“F-father.”

Hinata stepped in front of him, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Once you’re at school, don’t embarrass the Hyuga clan.”

Hyuga Hiashi sighed as he spoke.

With her personality, she would inevitably be bullied at school.

But if he had to intervene in such a trivial matter, he couldn’t afford to lose face.

“Yes... I will do my best.”

Hinata felt even more flustered upon hearing his sigh.

Hyuga Hiashi turned and walked away, pausing in the courtyard.

His younger daughter, Hinata Hanabi, was waving her fists under a tree.

Though awkward, she still looked quite impressive.

As Hinata walked down the street, the sunlight hit her, and the pressure in her heart eased a little.

Her mind involuntarily drifted to Neji.

If only she could be like him, her father would surely be satisfied.

But ever since that mark appeared on his forehead, it felt like there was a sad barrier separating her from Neji.

“Lady Hinata.”

At the school entrance, Tokuma handed her the backpack and said, “I will come to pick you up after school.”

“Thank you, Tokuma.”

Hinata took the backpack and walked into the classroom.

Her white eyes suddenly lit up.

It’s him!

The boy whose name she didn’t know.

But soon, Hinata hesitated.

She saw a beautiful blonde girl chatting with him, looking very happy.

Hinata wasn’t good at socializing.

At that moment, she didn’t approach.

“Zhihui-kun.”

Yamanka Ino smiled at Younyu Zhihui and asked, “What kind of flowers do you like? My family sells flowers.”

With her outgoing personality, she was quite adept at chatting.

Younyu Zhihui played the role of the listener.

His patience was excellent.

It was truly honed from the womb.

【Yamanka Ino.】

【Current Achievement: Longing is the most distant feeling from understanding.】

【Passive Achievement: Unknown.】

“Ino!”

Haruno Sakura’s strong voice interrupted Younyu Zhihui’s thoughts.

Yamanka Ino immediately became serious.

She entered battle mode.

She knew her best friend too well; when she saw a handsome guy, she couldn’t help but lose her composure.

But Ino breathed a sigh of relief when Sakura noticed Uchiha Sasuke first.

Only to have her face planted in disappointment.

She didn’t lose heart, though, and walked towards Yamanka Ino.

Suddenly, she perked up, noticing Younyu Zhihui.

In such a small classroom, could there really be two handsome guys at the same time?

Sakura's face showed a conflicted expression.

Who should she choose?

“Hello, I’m Haruno Sakura.”

Sakura put on a ladylike demeanor and extended her small hand.

But internally, she was already going crazy.

Damn! Ino got there first!

“Sakura.”

Yamanka Ino took Younyu Zhihui’s place to shake her hand, leaning in and quietly asking, “Aren’t you in love with Sasuke?”

“You earlier... mmm mmm mmm...”

Sakura’s eyes showed confusion.

They had an agreement to compete fairly for Uchiha Sasuke.

But before she could finish, Ino covered her mouth.

“Zhihui-kun.”

Yamanka Ino flashed a bright smile and said, “Sakura and I have something to talk about.”

She pulled Sakura along and hurried to the back row.

“Zhihui, you’re quite popular,” Naruto Uzumaki said enviously.

He wasn’t envious of Younyu Zhihui being surrounded by girls but felt he had many friends.

In the front row, Hinata cautiously glanced over.

She hesitated, her small hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.

After Yamanka Ino and Sakura left, a void appeared beside Younyu Zhihui.

She wanted to go up.

Just then, the door opened.

A young man walked in.

He wrote his name on the blackboard.

“I’m your teacher, Iruka Umino.”

Iruka Umino smiled and clapped his hands, saying, “Now, according to the old rules, let’s do self-introductions.”

Hinata slightly raised her head.

Although interrupted by Iruka, she could finally learn his name.

Younyu Zhihui calmly waited for the students’ self-introductions.

The vast majority were cannon fodder.

In the original work, their names never appeared.

And their wish was to become Hokage.

It must be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen indeed put effort into educating the will of fire.

“My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don’t have any hobbies; I hope to become an excellent ninja like my brother.”

Uchiha Sasuke’s self-introduction caused a stir in the classroom.

Because his brother was the famous Itachi Uchiha.

At the age of seven, he graduated with the top score in the whole school.

Moreover, he was evaluated by the ‘strongest Hokage,’ Sarutobi Hiruzen, as having the qualities of a Hokage, capable of thinking from a Hokage's perspective at such a young age.

At eleven, he joined the Anbu, becoming the youngest member of the Anbu.

He was undoubtedly the genius and pride of the Uchiha clan.

Three lines of text appeared before Younyu Zhihui.

【Uchiha Sasuke.】

【Current Achievement: Practice makes perfect.】

【Passive Achievement: Unknown.】

Younyu Zhihui pondered slightly.

If he recalled correctly, the night of the massacre would be next year.

At that time, Uchiha Sasuke would probably regret today.

One row after another, it soon came to Younyu Zhihui’s turn.

He walked up to the podium at a leisurely pace.

All eyes fell on him.

Directly in front of him was Hinata.

As soon as she met his gaze, she froze like a startled rabbit, her face flushed, and quickly looked down.

“My name is Younyu Zhihui.”

Younyu Zhihui casually said, “I don’t have any hobbies; I just want to live a peaceful life.”

Nara Shikamaru perked up, feeling an unexpected joy in finding a kindred spirit.

There’s actually someone like him?

Yamanka Ino suddenly thought of something, her eyes filled with determination.

To her, a peaceful life meant embodying the traditional role of a good wife and mother in Japan.

“I’m quite confident in being a good wife and mother.”

Yamanka Ino felt she was destined!

Nara Shikamaru glanced at her and shivered.

Women are truly terrifying.

Hinata gently bit her lip.

So his name is Younyu Zhihui.

She gathered her courage and raised her head again.

Younyu Zhihui gave her a slight nod and then returned to his seat.

After he finished, it was Naruto Uzumaki’s turn.

Taking a deep breath, he said, “I’m Naruto Uzumaki. I love ramen, and my dream is to become Hokage!”

By the end, his tone grew increasingly passionate.

The classroom fell silent for a few seconds, then filled with a lively atmosphere.

Younyu Zhihui casually slapped his hand on the table, making a loud sound that drowned out their laughter.

Under everyone’s gaze, he said calmly, “Just now, there was a swarm of flies buzzing around.”
