Starting From Being Adopted by the Second Hokage!

"Since you want to fight, I naturally won't back down." Renya's gaze was icy cold.

He was already annoyed enough at being dragged here to attend school, and now someone dared to provoke him?

He had to teach this short-sighted fool a harsh lesson to vent his frustration.

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo revealed a smug grin, as if his scheme had succeeded.

"Hmph, brat, you're about to find out what happens when you make me angry!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly. Danzo really was impulsive.

Renya was the child adopted by Tobirama-sama, and with Tobirama-sama's guidance, there was no way his strength could be weak.

He was seriously worried that Danzo wouldn't be Renya's match...

What Hiruzen didn't know was that Senju Tobirama had never actually taught Renya anything.

Soon, the news of the upcoming battle between the two spread.

All the children who had passed the test came over to watch.

Even the ones still taking the test kept glancing over from time to time.

A teacher wearing a jonin vest walked over, face dark with frustration.

He was the homeroom teacher for Class A and had been busy conducting the tests—then this had to happen.

Especially since the incident had spread so widely that even Tobirama knew about it. The homeroom teacher felt like the sky was falling.

"Are you two planning to fight?" the teacher asked in a low voice.

Renya noticed the teacher didn't look pleased and simply nodded without saying much.

Shimura Danzo, however, lacked this kind of tact. He eagerly turned to the teacher and said,

"Sensei, I want to fight him. Please announce the start quickly!"

He was itching to beat this brat to a pulp!

Upon hearing this, the teacher's expression turned even uglier. He instinctively glanced at Senju Tobirama.

Seeing Tobirama nod, the teacher finally breathed a sigh of relief and announced,

"Both sides, form the confrontation seal!"

Everyone present cleared the area, making space for the battle.

Renya and Shimura Danzo faced off, the atmosphere tense and ready to ignite.

Neither of them moved to form the confrontation seal.

"Brat, don't cry later!" Shimura Danzo sneered.

Renya didn't respond. 

"Bastard!"

Shimura Danzo launched the first attack, his hands quickly forming seals as Wind Release chakra gathered in his palms.

Gasps erupted from the onlookers.

They hadn't expected Shimura Danzo to use ninjutsu!

And not just any ninjutsu—it was a B-rank technique. One misstep could be life-threatening.

After all, this was just supposed to be a sparring match!

The teacher's face darkened. He was just about to reprimand them when—

Senju Tobirama raised a hand to stop him.

The teacher was stunned but didn't say anything further.

Senju Tobirama said with interest,

"Brat, let me see the results of your training."

Over the past year, Tobirama had observed Renya's growth.

He had to admit, this brat had trained incredibly hard.

If Renya hadn't been an Uchiha...

Perhaps, Tobirama really would've taken him as a disciple.

What a pity.

It wasn't that Senju Tobirama was unwilling to take an Uchiha as a student—

It's just that most Uchiha were too extreme in temperament,

Which is why he would never accept one as his disciple.

Though... there might be exceptions.

But not Renya.

Senju Tobirama understood Renya too well.

This kid was even harder to handle than the average Uchiha.

Who knew what kind of reckless things this brat would do once he got stronger?

That was exactly why Tobirama didn't want to guide him.

...

"Wind Release: Vacuum Bullet!"

A barrage of wind bullets shot toward Renya at blinding speed, each carrying intense penetrating force.

Renya's expression turned serious—he had underestimated Shimura Danzo.

He moved like lightning, dodging left and right with exceptional reflexes, narrowly avoiding the storm of wind bullets.

Immediately afterward, Renya formed seals and shouted:

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant, a massive fireball surged from his mouth, bringing with it a wave of heat as it roared toward Danzo.

Just as the fireball was about to hit him—Danzo transformed into a wooden log.

The fireball grazed the ground, scorching the nearby grass.

The fight entered a fever pitch. Both sides launched attack after attack, unwilling to back down.

The spectators kept gasping. The level of combat on display was already on par with genin.

With this kind of strength, was there even any point in attending school?

Such thoughts only came from children of civilian or lesser clans.

Kids from major clans showed little reaction.

Shimura Danzo grew more and more alarmed—he realized he was no match for this brat.

"What kind of joke is this?!"

He was the genius of the Shimura clan—how could he lose to a brat?

He couldn't lose. He absolutely couldn't lose!

Renya noticed Danzo was getting desperate, and a faint smile crept onto his lips.

Danzo had made a fatal mistake—he lost his composure, making it easy to expose weaknesses.

Sure enough, after several exchanges, Renya seized the opening.

With a powerful spinning kick, he struck Danzo hard in the gut and sent him flying.

Danzo crashed to the ground and struggled to get up.

The battle ended with Renya's victory.

"This... how is this possible?!"

He lost… He actually lost to a brat!

Shimura Danzo's face was full of unwillingness. He wanted to get up but couldn't.

"Danzo, are you okay?" Sarutobi Hiruzen helped him up with concern.

"Get lost! I don't need your help!" Shimura Danzo angrily slapped away his friend's hand and struggled to his feet.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly. He had warned Danzo to stay calm, but he just wouldn't listen!

Well now, he lost.

"Heh, is that all?" Renya mocked. "I thought you were something special. Go train some more."

He hadn't talked trash before the fight—after all, if he lost, it would've been humiliating.But now that he'd won, of course he had to throw out a few lines to show off his victory.

Shimura Danzo's face turned red, then pale, clearly furious.

Facing Renya's taunts and everyone's gazes, he wished he could crawl into a hole. In his heart, he was seething with hatred for Renya.

The homeroom teacher told them to behave and went back to testing students.

"This brat..." Senju Tobirama looked complicated.

Renya's performance had already surpassed the level of an average genin.

Silently, he took out the [Uchiha Observation Manual] and began jotting down notes...

The entrance exam for the ninja academy came to an end.

Most people left dejected and disappointed.

Out of nearly a thousand examinees, fewer than three hundred were accepted.

And most of them were children from major clans—only under a hundred were civilians.

This showed just how hard it was for ordinary people to become shinobi in the ninja world.

Of course, this could also be due to the difficulty of the test.

The first class of the academy naturally had higher standards.

Later on, the admission bar would likely be lowered.

After all, during times of war, they needed plenty of cannon fodder.

Once the test ended, each class's teacher led their students to the classrooms.

Along the way, Shimura Danzo stared at Renya with a dark expression.

Renya merely smiled and said nothing.

He was just a defeated opponent, nothing more.
