Listening to the cheers of the other girls in the class, Haruno Sakura continued to gaze at Sasuke by the window with adoration.
As Sakura looked on affectionately, Sasuke turned away with a face full of disdain.
"Hey, Sarutobi Baiye."
"Do not be too arrogant. Do you really think this is your old class?"
"You are nothing more than the Young Master of the Sarutobi Clan. Do you truly believe everyone is afraid of you?!"
Ever since he heard his father speak about Sarutobi Baiye, Sasuke had felt nothing but contempt.
In his eyes, the boy was just a waste who relied on the prestige of the Sarutobi Clan.
Furthermore, all the girls who usually crowded around him were looking at Sarutobi Baiye today.
It felt as if something that belonged to him had been stolen. This realization made Sasuke feel quite unpleasant.
As Sasuke stepped forward to challenge him, the entire classroom fell silent.
On the podium, Iruka secretly thought that things were taking a turn for the worse.
Before Iruka could speak, Baiye spoke first.
"Oh?"
"What the hell are you barking about?!"
"If you have the guts, come out and duel me one-on-one!"
Sasuke originally only intended to mock Baiye with a few words.
Hearing the response from Baiye, a surge of anger instantly rose within him.
"You think I am afraid of you!"
"I will wait for you at the Training ground!"
After saying that, he stomped out of the classroom in a rage.
Baiye naturally followed right behind him.
Iruka saw this and cried out that this was a disaster. He hurried to catch up with them.
The rest of the students in the class followed as well. After all, it is human nature to enjoy a spectacle.
As for the situation here, news quickly reached the Third Hokage.
After receiving the report, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a leisurely puff of his pipe.
He did not seem worried at all.
"Go. Notify Uchiha Fugaku."
"Tell him we shall meet at the Ninja Academy."
Following the order of Sarutobi Hiruzen, an Anbu member soon arrived at the Wood Leaf Police Force.
He delivered the news to Fugaku.
When he learned that Sasuke had actually started a conflict with Sarutobi Baiye, the expression on the face of Fugaku changed instantly. He knew this was bad.
He hurried toward the Ninja Academy.
...
Inside the Training ground, Uchiha Sasuke and Baiye stood facing each other.
As for Iruka, he could only act as the referee at this time.
He wanted to prevent any accidents from occurring.
The spectating students had already split into two groups.
"Who do you think will win?"
"It must be Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke is the genius of the Uchiha Clan!"
"Hmph, that is not certain. Sarutobi Baiye is the grandson of the Hokage. I do not think he is weaker than Sasuke!"
"Sasuke is the strongest!"
"Baiye is the strongest!"
The two groups of people began to cheer wildly for their favorites.
Among the crowd cheering for Baiye, a small kid with blonde hair was exceptionally active.
"Wuhu! Go Baiye!!"
"Teach that arrogant Sasuke a lesson!"
"Beat him! Beat him!"
The excited shouting caused Baiye to look over.
Seeing Uzumaki Naruto in the crowd almost made Baiye laugh.
"Hmph! Sarutobi Baiye, today I will show you!"
"I will show you the power of the Uchiha Clan!"
After Sasuke finished speaking, he formed the Seal of Confrontation.
However, Baiye did not show any reaction at all.
He did not even bother to refine his Mana. He certainly did not intend to form any hand seals.
What kind of ninja actually uses hand seals?
"Stop wasting time. Just make your move."
"Let me see what kind of strength your Uchiha Clan actually possesses."
Listening to the mocking words of Baiye, Sasuke almost exploded with rage.
He had originally intended to just teach him a simple lesson.
Now, he felt he must make this guy realize that the Uchiha Clan could not be insulted!
"You are looking for death!!!"
Sasuke suddenly began to form hand seals with both hands at high speed.
Snake - Ram - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger.
Seeing this sequence, the face of Iruka changed drastically.
"Sasuke, stop!!"
[System: Chapter Five - Activating Super Speed!]
"Sasuke, stop!!!"
At this moment, the intervention of Iruka had no effect.
Sasuke was too angry to care about anything else.
As the hand seals were completed, Mana instantly condensed in his mouth.
[Skill: Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique Activated!]
Scorching flames instantly erupted from the mouth of Sasuke.
The flames transformed into a massive fireball that blasted toward Baiye.
"He can actually use Ninjutsu!!"
"Wow! So powerful!"
"Sasuke is so handsome!"
Seeing Sasuke release a Ninjutsu, the surrounding fangirls immediately began to cheer.
None of them expected that Sasuke, who had just entered the school, would already be able to use Ninjutsu.
Unlike those girls, Shikamaru in the crowd had dropped his lazy expression.
His face was full of gravity.
"This is going to be a real problem."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Baiye faced the scorching fireball.
He did not even have the intention to dodge.
A look of disdain remained on his face.
It was as if the fireball rushing toward him was nothing more than a tiny flickering flame.
Iruka could no longer hold back.
It was bad enough that a new student like Sasuke could use a C-Rank Ninjutsu against the grandson of the Hokage.
However, the reaction of Baiye was even more ridiculous.
Facing a Ninjutsu of this power, he did not even try to move.
He just stood there blankly.
"Damn it! Baiye, get out of the way!"
"Boom!!!"
Before Iruka could act, the scorching fireball slammed into the body of Baiye.
A fierce wall of fire soared into the sky.
Dense smoke rose from the impact zone.
The figure of Baiye disappeared within the flames.
The eyes of Iruka turned hollow.
Being hit directly by a Great Fireball Technique meant he would be lucky to survive with heavy injuries.
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
"As I thought, you are just a waste!!"
