Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Uchiha Doesn't Need Sympathy
Upon arriving at the academy, the young Chunin responsible for their grade noticed Sasuke with concern.
"Do you need some time to recuperate? Or are you ready to return to school? There aren't many courses recently, and you're an excellent student, so it's okay to take a break," Iruka advised.
Although his parents were also elite ninjas and were promoted during the war years, Iruka had lost his parents when he was young and only knew the phrase "Will of Fire" from his elders. Without special talents, Chunin was almost his limit.
It was also the upper limit for most ordinary ninjas.
If he were in a smaller ninja village, Iruka might have had the chance to become a Jonin.
A lot of information in the village had nothing to do with him, but as an orphan, he naturally understood the pain of such sudden misfortune.
However, Sasuke was initially wary of Iruka's concern, and his eyes looked at him with more intensity. The system's prompt sounded again, and a lot of dense information emerged.
Fortunately, Sasuke controlled the scope this time, avoiding information overload.
[Name: Umino Iruka, Identity: Chunin of Konoha Ninja Village, Second-year Ninja Teacher at the Ninja Academy, Personality: Sensitive, Introverted, Extroverted. Having experienced loss, he cares more about students with similar experiences. Characteristics: As a Chunin of Konoha, he possesses the awareness of fearlessness when necessary. Abilities: Substitution Technique, Clone Technique, Transformation Technique...]
[The young Chunin teacher is at the most enthusiastic age. Facing you, who has also lost your family and is alone, he feels a sense of empathy and hopes to help you return to normal life.]
```
Sasuke immediately noticed the abilities and various data of this Chunin and found that compared to that man and the Hokage, there was a huge gap between them.
Wait, how come the gap between this teacher and him in terms of pure data doesn't seem to be that big?
When focusing too much on strength, Sasuke grasped the key point. To be more accurate, he directly asked the system to pull out his personal information panel to check. In terms of pure data, there wasn't much difference.
Even when he had a comparison of strength in his mind, the system started the narration.
[Within a quarter of an hour, you can use your mind to calculate without intention. You can use a shuriken technique with your Sharingan to severely injure him. Note: If you carry the Kusanagi sword with you, you may cause fatal injuries on the spot.]
```
The strategy was very short. Obviously, if you sneak attack, the battle can be ended in one round.
Seeing Sasuke lost in thought, Iruka felt a little guilty and said, "Sorry, did I say something I shouldn't have? Actually..."
The system narration followed with a prompt, but Iruka was also considering how to say it to better care for the student's heart.
After confirming that the other party was indeed a good teacher who cared about his students, Sasuke's vigilance disappeared, and he looked at the display next to Iruka.
He felt a little embarrassed when he heard the narration about how to win the game with one move and quickly said, "I'm fine, Mr. Iruka. Actually, I was just thinking that I've been feeling a little unwell recently.
"But I should be able to continue with the cultural courses, and I think I can also watch the ninjutsu courses."
Iruka watched Sasuke regain his spirits, his obsidian eyes seemed to shine with a determined light, and he couldn't help but be moved by it.
As expected of Uchiha, even a child can be so strong.
Seeing that Sasuke was determined to return to the ninja academy, Iruka didn't persuade him too much but expressed his concern for him and then let Sasuke go back to prepare for class.
However, he decided in his heart that if Sasuke had any problems, he would find time to talk to him.
This idea was also faithfully recorded by the narrator.
At this time, Sasuke let the narration information disappear one by one, feeling that he had understood almost everything he should know and didn't want to be hindered by this abundance of information. Always move forward.
After the shielding, the whole world suddenly felt much quieter.
But this function is annoying.
After realizing that the village is not safe and the family that founded the village can disappear at any time, Sasuke realized that he seems not to be very safe after the system reminded him.
Now there is the insight of the system.
It seems that no matter who he meets, he can immediately judge whether the other party is hostile, allowing him to spend more energy on cultivation.
The important thing is to have enough sense of security and know how to develop more steadily.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say to the system that was projected again: "Thank you, system... Without you, I think I might still be a little confused about what to do now."
"Don't underestimate yourself, cub host, you are just too young!"
The white kitten lay on Sasuke's shoulder and comforted him softly.
For some reason, although it was said to be a projection, the kitten could run and jump in this world, which made Sasuke a little confused.
On the way to the classroom, Sasuke asked: "By the way, system, so much narration information displayed in front of me has blocked my vision. Is there anything that can allow me to see the information without affecting my daily speech or even fighting..."
"I can see a lot of information at the same time and act normally." The kitten looked up, "This is a problem of insufficient perspective and thinking processing ability!"
"Is that so!"
Sasuke nodded as if he understood something.
In fact, he felt that he only seemed to understand a lot of things, but he was a little confused when he thought about it.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that this seems to be related to development.
If the Uchiha crisis can give him enough time... can this disaster be stopped directly by him?
Sasuke couldn't help but yearn for it, but looking at the lazy white kitten on his shoulder, Sasuke's heart settled down again.
The opportunity to become stronger is not easy. Iruka is also an orphan, but he doesn't even have the opportunity to revive his parents.
It seems that many people in the village are helpless.
How can he be greedy?
---
However, Sasuke saw more than one orphan in the village. His mentality was calm because of the system. On the way to the classroom, and even after arriving at the classroom, other peers and even teachers he met still looked at him with sympathy.
After all, Uchiha is a famous family of geniuses.
In this world where extraordinary power gathers in individuals, the weak shouted hoarsely, but no one heard them. The strong whispered and touched people's hearts.
Uchiha, who was the strongest among the strong in the eyes of the public, was wiped out overnight.
The spread was extremely wide, and the discussion was also long-lasting. It was far more worthy of discussion than ordinary orphans.
Especially when there is an orphan in this clan, the news and legend will naturally last longer.
This private discussion, accompanied by the appearance of Sasuke, all stopped in tacit understanding.
Whether it was sympathy or other emotions, when Sasuke returned to school after the genocide, he could feel that many classmates were unconsciously or deliberately alienated.
After turning on the narration, Sasuke found many sympathetic eyes, as well as fearful eyes that suspected there was a conspiracy, or simply rejected eyes that thought it was a punishment from heaven.
Through the narration, these observations can basically be confirmed.
Overnight, Sasuke changed from the pride of the Uchiha to the poor child. There are many sympathetic people, even if they are alienated, they are full of sympathy inside.
In response, Sasuke just sat down in his seat calmly, asking when this incident can be calmed down.
[The topic of Uchiha can last for a long time, even many years later, because of the legendary Uchiha, ninjas will occasionally communicate in private, and they can quickly draw closer to each other among Konoha ninjas, because they are full of yearning and sympathy for this family. Tip: The more upright the cub host behaves, the more sympathy points will be added.]
```
"If I can make Uchiha strong enough in the eyes of the world again, will this sympathetic look be weakened?"
Sasuke reached out and wanted to rub the kitten's soft fur but stopped because he couldn't touch it.
The system responded: "Of course, people's admiration and respect for the strong can overshadow sympathy, disgust, and other emotions. Host, why do you want to ask this?"
"You will know if you unfold my information." Sasuke always felt that this cat was a little different from the cold voice of the system, but he felt a little warmer in his heart.
For the alienation of others for various reasons, he only said, "It doesn't matter what others think of me. I don't need too many friends, but I am now carrying the last hope and bond of the family.
"I don't want Uchiha to be met with sympathetic eyes when he appears in front of the world again.
"Sympathy is something only the weak need."
Having heard about the glorious history of his family, Sasuke understood that before the extinction of the clan, the Uchiha had received all kinds of looks, but the only look they had never received was sympathy.
And...
The Uchiha never needed sympathy!
