"Sunflower." Shiki said as he stepped forward.

"The blooming flower of hope."

The flower arranging class ended.

Yamanaka Haruna was very generous and gave all her works to them.

Because of this accident, Shiki had to go home.

He walked for a few minutes and then stopped.

The glass of a roadside shop reflected Ino.

Shiki turned around and looked at her.

"Ino." He said.

Having been discovered. She walked forward boldly, held up the cosmos, and asked, "Look, isn't it beautiful?"

"Pretty." Shiki replied, looking at her.

Compared to the already blooming cosmos, she was like a bud that needed time and watering before it could bloom.

"How about we swap works?" Ino stated her purpose.

Shiki nodded.

He didn't care about sunflowers or cosmos.

A happy smile suddenly appeared on Ino's face.

She held the sunflower, her eyes full of seriousness, and said, "I will definitely keep it blooming for a long enough time."

Although it seemed useless to Shiki, he believed that flowers should be picked when they are in bloom rather than waiting until there are no flowers left to pluck.

"Shiki." She looked up at him and said, "If you are free someday, come to my house and see it."

After saying that, without waiting for Shiki to answer, she turned around and trotted away.

The golden ponytail behind her head swayed back and forth, finally disappearing completely along with her figure.

Is this the idea?

Shiki couldn't help but smile.

The afternoon class was the Three Body Technique class.

Just like in the original work, the worst character was Uzumaki.

But the difference was that he was not depressed.

All he could think about now was physical skills.

"Before class ends, the teacher wants to tell you something." Umino said as he closed his textbook, "Since Mr. Mizuki is on leave, I will substitute for the second-grade class A next week."

Shiki raised an eyebrow.

There were three familiar people in the second-year class A: Hyuga Neji, Lee, and Tenten.

The last three of Konoha's Twelve Warriors.

As for Mizuki, he didn't have much impression of him.

All he remembered was that Mizuki instigated Uzumaki to steal the Book of Seals.

But Shiki felt that it was Sarutobi's connivance and design.

It was too outrageous for a Genin to steal a seal book filled with forbidden techniques so easily.

"For convenience, we will take the practical classes together." Umino smiled, "The second-year class A has Hyuga Neji, who is the best in the school."

Sasuke immediately raised his head, his face showing interest.

The Hyuga clan was as famous as the Uchiha clan, so naturally, he paid attention to them.

He had heard of the genius Hyuga for a long time, but he didn't know their specific strength.

He could try it now.

Before entering school, Sasuke set a goal: he wanted to graduate with the best grades in the school, just like his brother.

At that time, he had already set Hyuga Neji as the target he must defeat.

But what he didn't expect was to suffer a Waterloo first and be defeated twice in a row by Shiki.

"Neji-nii." Hinata's heart tightened.

Ever since Neji planted the caged bird, their relationship had deteriorated dramatically.

She didn't know how to face him again.

"Class dismissed."

Umino left the classroom with his textbook.

The students went home one by one, and finally, only Uchiha and others were left.

"Fishing!" Naruto said excitedly, "I will definitely caught the most fish this time."

"It's me."

Sasuke walked past him.

"Impossible!" Naruto chased after him, unconvinced.

"Idiot." Sasuke scoffed.

If it weren't for Shiki, he would never have thought of competing against Naruto, even in fishing.

In his opinion, Naruto was the last one.

'What level? Become friends with me.'

Sasuke only recognized Shiki because he was strong enough.

"That guy, Naruto!"

Sakura trotted forward with an annoyed look on her face.

Shiki stood up and walked out slowly.

"Shiki." Ino chatted with him, smiling, "My mother said you have a talent for flower arrangement."

Hinata was quite quiet.

She didn't know what to say.

"As expected of you, Shiki." Inuzuka said, looking around.

"Do you want to be like that?" Nara asked, holding the back of his head with his hands.

"In no mood."

Inuzuka shook his head seriously, "I prefer dogs to girls."

"You haven't chosen a dog yet?"

Nara was a little surprised.

The Inuzuka clan possesses a secret technique to merge with dogs.

Each member will have a dog, which is their lifelong companion and has a multifunctional role.

"No."

Inuzuka said with a depressed look, "I don't like any of them."

"No rush, take your time."

Shino interrupted, "It won't be too late after you graduate."

"Shino, when did you come?"

Inuzuka asked in surprise.

"…"

Shino replied expressionlessly, "I've always been behind you."

"Oh, sorry."

Inuzuka said quickly.

"It's fine."

Shiki didn't care.

He was used to being ignored.

When they arrived at the river, just like last time, they kept a certain distance and started fishing.

Having won once, Shiki no longer had the desire to win.

Only Sasuke's little universe exploded; he was more serious than ever before.

An hour later, the fishing competition ended.

"How many?"

Sasuke looked at Naruto first.

He was extremely nervous in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, as cold as ever.

"You ask me?"

Naruto looked surprised.

"It's you."

Sasuke said.

"You looked down on me before, but now you don't look down on me..."

After getting confirmation, Naruto immediately became proud.

"Shut up."

Sasuke was a little impatient and asked, "How much is it?"

"Seven."

Naruto raised his chin slightly and asked, "How is it? Do you admit defeat?"

"I'm Kujo."

Sasuke didn't even look at him; he walked toward Shiki and said, "I won."

Naruto froze in place.

"When will we spar?"

Shiki asked casually.

"Tomorrow."

Sasuke paused and said, "I have a question."

"What?"

Shiki looked up at him.

"How much strength did you bring out in the last battle?"

Uchiha took a deep breath and asked.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Shiki asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's true."

SUch snorted and said.

"Thirty percent."

Shiki replied in a calm tone.

He had many Gu, but he only used the Jade Skin Gu, White Pig Gu, and Black Pig Gu.

The latter two he still held back.

The rest—Moonlight Gu, Small Light Gu, and Bone Spear Gu—were not used.

Uchiha's expression was stiff, full of disbelief.

Why only 30%?

In both battles, he felt that Shiki did not use his full strength.

He originally thought it would be 70%, but he didn't expect it to be 30%.

"You are lying to me!"

Sasuke stared at Shiki.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Shiki walked past him and came to the river.

Just like last time, he dealt with the fish everyone caught.

Sasuke stood there in a daze.

He thought of his brother.

From the day he was born, the entire Death Forest had been whispering his name.

He was a unique genius who opened the Sharingan at the age of eight.

Sasuke always wanted to catch up with him, but the gap between them kept getting bigger and bigger.

He had a special place in his heart, which was understandable.

But the sudden appearance of Shiki dealt him a heavy blow.

Sasuke clenched his fists, feeling unwilling.

As an Uchiha, how could he lose to an outsider?

If his father and brother knew about this, they would be so disappointed.

"Sasuke."

Naruto had come back to his senses.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Sasuke's escape halfway, he put it out of his mind when he saw how shocked he was.

"Losing to Shiki isn't a big deal."

Naruto patted his shoulder and said nonchalantly.

"What do you know?"

Sasuke looked at his smiling face and felt indescribably annoyed.

"After losing, you can just win it back, right?"

Naruto scratched his head, not understanding why he was so angry.

Sasuke hesitated to speak.

'Is it that easy to win?'

But suddenly he was slightly startled.

'Why can't I win?'

He is Uchiha!

The most powerful weapon of the Uchiha clan is the Sharingan, which can bring victory with just one glance.

Once he opens the Sharingan, Shiki is bound to be defeated by him.

As for now, let him be arrogant for a while.

"You're right."

Sasuke regained his confidence.

"How many fish did Shiki catch?"

Naruto asked with a curious look on his face.

"…"

Sasuke's mouth twitched and he said, "Idiot."

"Hello!"

Naruto looked unhappy and asked, "What do you mean? Why are you scolding me again?"

He tried to comfort him with kindness, but in the end, he didn't even get a word of thanks.

And how is he an idiot? He had been smart since he was a kid, after all.

Sasuke was too lazy to communicate with him anymore.

He was worried that he would be pulled down to the same level.

"Damn you!"

Naruto waved his fist and ignored him.

He turned and came in front of Shiki.

Building two barbecue grills could be done by Choji alone; there was no need for him at all.

"Why do you have to scale and gut the fish?"

Naruto asked after watching for two minutes.

"Because it's unhygienic."

Shiki casually said, "If you eat it, you'll have problems, like diarrhea."

"Oh!"

Naruto suddenly had an idea and said, "No wonder I have diarrhea after drinking milk."

"That's not the reason."

Shiki explained, "Milk will go bad after it expires. The milk you bought has been stored for too long."

"Huh? I see."

Naruto was stunned and said, "You know a lot."

Shiki glanced at him.

If it were someone else, he would definitely think he was being sarcastic.

"When will you teach me how to cook?"

Naruto looked at him expectantly.

"Sunday."

Shiki thought for a moment and answered.
