Chapter 343: The Outlier Among the Uchiha
On the playground of the Ninja Academy, all the students in Class 1, including Teacher Iruka, were watching the battle in the middle of the playground.
Those precocious girls cheered for their favorite male idols who were fighting, and the boys cheered for those who were fighting with the boys.
As the battle continued, Iruka gradually showed a hint of disbelief.
"The hero's child is indeed extraordinary. Sasuke's attacks are all under her control."
Originally, Iruka led a class of students to conduct the first battle sparring after enrollment. At first, he just wanted two people to come out for a demonstration, but when the demonstration was Uchiha Sasuke and Namikaze Menma, the sparring demonstration became a real battle.
In the middle of the playground, Sasuke launched a fierce attack on Menma, and each attack was at a tricky angle, while Menma defended Sasuke's attack with ease.
"Menma, why don't you fight back." Sasuke pressed his elbow on Menma's arm and said unwillingly.
"Now we are demonstrating." Menma shook his head and said calmly.
The next second, Sasuke used his elbow to push Menma down, but Menma couldn't do it as he wished. He put his arms together and pushed upwards, pushing Sasuke away directly.
Feeling the irresistible brute force of Menma, Sasuke did a backflip, dissipated the force, and stepped on some dust on the ground.
Sasuke glanced at the girls around him who were cheering for him, and suddenly felt bored.
"Tsk, the fight is not fun at all." Sasuke patted the dust on his body and said unhappily.
"Let's go to the old place after school and have a good fight." Menma nodded and said immediately.
"Well, I have been training hard all the time." Sasuke said seriously.
"Efforts are not enough, you need to fight hard." Menma said seriously.
The girls around him had already exploded. Although they knew that Sasuke and Menma were friends, they didn't expect it to reach this level.
They didn't care about Menma before, but now they took a closer look and found that Menma was a very cute and beautiful girl.
It was just because of Menma's sharp eyes that her cold temperament covered up her cuteness, giving people a boyish feeling.
Seeing this, Iruka walked in front of Menma and Sasuke and said seriously, "The seal of reconciliation is taught in class."
Under the envious eyes of the girls, Sasuke and Menma made a seal to announce the end of the competition.
Time passed, and the first semester of the Ninja Academy ended unknowingly.
Menma undoubtedly became the first in the whole grade, while Sasuke was slightly behind in grades and won the second place in the whole grade. Among the three people, Naruto's grades were just in the middle, mainly because Naruto was far behind in book knowledge.
After the holiday, Menma went to the Uchiha clan more diligently, and finally found an unsociable Uchiha, Uchiha Shisui, who was known as the Instant Body Shisui.
After asking Sasuke about Shisui, he found that Sasuke's brother Itachi was a good friend of Shisui, and Shisui had also taught Sasuke some basics of the Instant Body Technique.
Without any hesitation, Menma pulled Sasuke and said that he wanted to ask Shisui about the instant body technique.
Sasuke agreed without even thinking about it.
In Sasuke's eyes, Menma has always been invincible. Now he finally has something to ask, and he wants to ask the people of the Uchiha clan, which makes him very happy.
In the remote area of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke brought Menma to a simple hut.
Menma looked at the shabby house and couldn't help showing a puzzled look. Shisui lives here? After all, he is a big figure in the Uchiha clan.
"Why is the famous Shisui in such a remote area?" Menma asked puzzledly.
"I heard from Brother Shisui that the clan members didn't like Brother Shisui's ancestors, so they chose a quiet place on purpose, and my father even opened a small path here to leave the clan." Sasuke explained.
"Is that so? I understand." Menma said.
"Then I'll knock on the door now. It's afternoon now. Brother Shisui should be back." Sasuke said.
Then no matter how Sasuke knocked on the door, there was no response from inside the house, which made Sasuke, who was full of confidence, embarrassed for a while.
Menma showed a look of understanding. After all, a big man like Shisui who could teleport instantly was not a child on vacation from the Ninja Academy. How could he have free time to stay at home as often as they did?
Just when the two were preparing to come to Shisui next time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Menma and Sasuke."
Menma and Sasuke looked back and saw that it was Uchiha Mei, an acquaintance from the academy.
At this time, Uchiha Meiju looked at Menma with a blushing face, holding a brown basket with some wild fruits and insects in his hands.
"You are here to find Brother Shisui, right?" Meiju walked in front of Menma and asked with a blushing face.
"Well, I want to learn the essentials of teleportation from Senior Shisui. Meiju, do you also know Senior Shisui?" Menma nodded and said.
"Yes, my parents know Shisui's parents. After my parents passed away, Shisui has been taking care of me." Miju said gratefully.
Menma and Sasuke were stunned for a moment. Menma's plain face gradually showed a touch of tenderness. She was an orphan in her past and present lives, so she could best understand the pain of orphans. Sasuke was surprised that Miju, a nobody, actually knew Shisui.
"Miju, you've worked hard." Menma said solemnly.
"It's okay, actually. I got through the most difficult time with the company of Brother Shisui. Wait, don't stand outside and talk, come in and sit down." Miju said with a smile.
Miju put the basket on the ground, took out the key to open the door, and walked into Shisui's house with Menma and Sasuke.
As soon as they entered the room, several black crows flew towards the three people.
Seeing this, Sasuke quickly reached into his bag with his left hand, holding the kunai and preparing to attack, but the next moment he was stopped by Menma next to him.
Sasuke looked at Menma unhappily, not understanding why Menma stopped him, but Menma pointed to the front.
I saw several crows landed gently beside Miju, rubbing Miju's shoes intimately, but if you pay attention to the crows' eyes, you will find that their eyes are always on the basket in Miju's hand.
Miju put down the basket and said to the crows, "Eat aside, my classmates and I have something to do."
The crows were also very obedient. The leading crow grabbed the basket and flew out of the window with the others to eat dessert in the backyard.
"Miju, you are really gentle." Menma said with a chuckle.
"It's nothing. The crows grew up with me. Finding food for them is nothing. In the past, we usually went to find wild fruits together, but recently Brother Shisui asked the crows to go out less." Miju stroked her hair and said shyly.
Menma's eyes froze when he heard the latter. What is Shisui planning to do recently?
