When the dismissal bell rang, all the first-year students turned into wild horses and rushed out of the classroom.
Uchiha Jingyan stayed behind.
Not because he had cleaning duty—
But because a transparent interface appeared before his eyes.

This was basically a game system—
And he was the only player.
The new ninjutsu was named Nitrogen Release: Nitrogen Flow.
Its proficiency was synchronized with Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, since it used the same hand seals—Jingyan had just added an extra process.
Purification and compression.
"I wonder what this system shop is like… and this graduation… hmm?"
Jingyan seemed to think of something and raised an eyebrow.
For the past six months, he had been fully focused on developing Nitrogen Release, and had almost forgotten about this major event.
"First year already started half a year ago… then Hatake Sakumo… should be about to, well… that, right?"
Hatake Sakumo—Kakashi's father.
A tragic hero whose soul waited in the Pure Land for decades after his death.
A textbook victim of Konoha's darkness.
Jingyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So… low profile is still the best path…"
Even someone as strong as the White Fang could die just like that.
In Konoha, a researcher like him really should keep his head down…
Shaking his head, Jingyan slung on his backpack, preparing to go home—and help Obito by carrying his bag.
He still had 100 research points.
A science student's perfectionism made him eager to design a perfect plan to use them properly.
But…
When he reached the school gate, the scene in front of him made him stop.
It was a case of school bullying.
The bullies were several boys with long black hair, but their clothes were different from his—they belonged to another super clan of Konoha.
The Hyuga clan.
And the person curled up in the middle, battered and covering his head…
Looked kind of familiar?
That goggle lying on the ground—
Wasn't that Obito's?
"Obito?" Jingyan frowned.
The Hyuga kids froze and turned to look at him.
When they saw the Uchiha crest on Jingyan's clothes—and his weak-looking body—their gazes turned dangerous.
"Get lost, Uchiha trash!"
"If you don't want to get beaten, pretend you saw nothing!"
Jingyan's frown deepened.
And Obito, who had finally caught a breath, noticed his desk mate.
His eyes widened in panic.
"Jingyan! Run!"
"These bastards can't play fair! We agreed on a one-on-one!"
Obito shouted angrily.
Jingyan, however, silently put both backpacks down.
He roughly understood what happened.
As Konoha's two great dojutsu clans, Uchiha and Hyuga never got along.
No—Uchiha didn't get along with anyone.
According to Obito, he had wanted a duel—
But it turned into a group beating.
Jingyan tilted his head, his expression slowly turning serious as he rotated his wrists.
"When young people don't follow martial ethics… they pay the price."
Even though—
Just two minutes ago, he had decided to live low-key.
Especially as a scientist.
But…
A man raised under nine years of compulsory education—how could he ignore something like this?
Jingyan's movements and provocative words immediately drew all the Hyuga kids' attention.
They turned toward him with ill intent.
"Uchiha trash…"
The leader spoke while walking toward Jingyan with his lackeys, cracking his knuckles.
"Beat him till he can't move!"
They closed in on Jingyan.
Behind them, Obito's eyes were bloodshot.
"Stop right there!"
Obito shouted in stubborn rage.
But just as his voice rang out, another voice followed—
Calm, excited, burning, and 91% nervous!
After all, this was also a science student's first time joining a school violence incident!
"Nitrogen Release—Nitrogen Flow!"
