Naruto: Most Powerful Bloodline

"Oh my God!? Did I read that wrong? Uchiha Ei was even persuaded?"

"So Uchiha must be fixed by Shigure? Really? I can't believe it!"

"Everyone, quiet down!" said a cold voice from a gray-haired teenager wearing a mask.

No one dared to speak.

"Huh?" The boy's cold aura caught Shigure's attention. He had gray hair, a knife on his back, and wore a mysterious face mask. His chakra flow was noticeably stronger than that of the other students.

Though Shigure's soul had been transplanted into this body, he had no memories of his past. Naturally, he didn't recognize this person.

"This guy... he doesn't seem simple," Shigure thought.

"Don't you know anyone anymore?" A sweet female voice came from beside him.

Shigure turned to see who it was.

"Are you interested in him?" The red-haired girl sitting next to him explained. "He's the top student in our class, Hagi Kusuo."

"Ah... Hyuga..." Shigure felt a bit embarrassed as he touched his head. He couldn't remember his tablemate's name, but from her eyes, he could tell she was from the Hyuga clan.

"I'm Hongdie Hyuga, remember that. Don't forget it!" Hongdie smiled warmly, as though her smile could melt ice.

"Okay, I won't forget... What's the full name of this student from the Hagi clan?" Shigure asked politely.

"His name is Nanxiong Hagi," Hongdie replied.

"Huh? Nanxiong Hagi? Oh, alright..."

Shigure was a little speechless, thinking that he'd somehow ended up facing the disaster of being partnered with Qi Mu Nanxiong.

Then, a teacher they hadn't seen before entered, carrying a list, and began reading off the names of students.

"Akudo Dolphin!"

"Yuki Yamaka!"

"Nara Kazuru!"

"Uchiha Shigure, you Zhuludie students have always made the best partners, but your results have been average. Let's move on to the first class," the teacher continued.

Except for Yuki Yamaka, the others were male. Akudo Dolphin was extremely overweight, while Kazuru Nara was sharp and calculating. Yuki Yamaka was one of the few striking blonde students.

"Next... Uchiha Shigure..."

The teacher spent half an hour dividing the classes. Finally, only three students remained. He looked at Shigure and said, "Given this classmate's special performance in the graduation exams, along with his usual results, I've placed the following three together in the same class. I hope you can look out for one another."

"Class 7: Uchiha Shigure, Hagi Kusuo, Hyuga Kocho."

"Alright, the leader of Class 7 has arrived early. You three can head to the principal's office to meet your leader. The others will be assigned to their classes," the teacher announced.

"I don't know if it's fate, but I was actually assigned to Class 7? And I happen to be sitting next to the first student in the class... Huh? Is this really the worst pairing for me?" Shigure thought, a little exasperated.

At that moment, countless female students started whispering excitedly.

"Oh my God! Hongdie Hyuga is so lucky! She gets Hagi as her teammate!"

"Not just that! Uchiha Shigure is so handsome! Two handsome guys in the same class! How unfair!"

Some students were disappointed, while others were ecstatic.

"Oh my God! My prayer worked!" Hongdie was a little too excited, as if she couldn't hold back her emotions and was eager to join Shigure and Nanxiong.

"Let's go," Nanxiong Hagi said, his face cold and indifferent. He wasn't opposed to Shigure, but seemed detached from everything.

With that, the three of them walked toward the principal's office.

When they entered, Shigure saw a familiar figure from the original story.

Wearing a wide kimono and with a Konoha forehead protector, the figure's eyes were pure white, just like Hongdie's.

"Blank eyes? The Hyuga clan?" Nanxiong Hagi asked, surprised when he saw the person.

"That's right. Please take care of me. I am Konoha's Jonin, Hyuga Nissa. You can call me Nissa-sensei. It seems that you three are the students I'll be guiding," the man said politely, not treating the three as subordinates.

"Uchiha Shigure, Hagi Kusuo, and Miss Hyuga Kocho," Nissa said humbly, though the names had changed slightly.

Hongdie nodded in acknowledgment.

"Huh?" Nissa looked at Shigure, his eyes narrowing slightly, a puzzled expression crossing his face.

Shigure understood immediately and said, "Sensei, if you have a question, feel free to ask."

"Well, I hope I'm not being rude... but Uchiha Shigure, your eyes seem very similar to those of our Hyuga clan?" Nissa asked, a little surprised by the resemblance in their eyes.

Things like the Byakugan were sensitive in the ninja world, especially in Konoha, so he was naturally curious.

Shigure quickly explained, "I don't know. My eyes have always looked like this, and I've never felt anything unusual. Maybe I was just born this way."

"I see. I must have been mistaken." Nissa smiled, nodding in understanding.

"By the way, the three of you need to head to the Konoha Training Grounds. We're going to conduct an entrance exam. This test has been personally arranged by Hokage-sama. Those who fail will lose their chance to become Genin! You must give it your all. Prepare yourselves!"

Hyuga Nissa's tone turned serious, his warm demeanor transforming into that of a strict teacher.

Soon, the newly promoted Genin left the principal's office.

---

At the Konoha Third Training Ground, the three of them arrived quickly.

Hyuga Kocho stood there, occasionally glancing at Uchiha Shigure, her face flushed slightly.

Nanxiong Hagi, with his gray hair and mask, sat cross-legged, seemingly lost in thought.

Uchiha Shigure, dressed in a standard ninja uniform with the Uchiha clan emblem faintly visible on his chest, stood still, his sharp eyes focused, like a hawk waiting for its prey.

Hyuga Nissa arrived, observing their performance with a watchful eye.

Without warning, Nissa appeared in front of them and began the entrance exam.

"You three come from prestigious Konoha clans, carrying the legacy and talents of your parents' generation. I hope you can prove yourselves today and become true ninjas," Nissa said, pulling out the bells that had already been prepared for the exam.
