So, after class one day, Ichihi actively sought out the horoom teacher, wanting to ask him sothing.
"Teacher Fujimura."
"Oh, it’s Mahiru. Is there sothing you need?"
The middle-aged man nad Fujimura, with a plump body, sat there with a bulging belly.
He stopped grading papers and looked up, surprised, at the transfer student who seed to have an important matter to discuss with him.
To be honest, he was very curious about Ichihi’s identity.
Ichihi was a transfer student personally entrusted by the Third Hokage to be taken care of, which was quite unusual at this ti.
And for the Third Hokage to co in person to entrust her care, it could be imagined that this transfer student was extraordinary.
He believed that this newcor to his class was a mysterious girl with many secrets.
At least, in Konoha over the decades, he had never heard of the surna ’Mahiru’.
"There’s nothing particularly important, I just want to know, why do you secretly observe in class?"
"Uh... is it that obvious?"
"Maybe ordinary people wouldn’t notice, but to , it’s no different than looking openly. Today alone, you secretly observed eleven tis."
Ichihi trusted her perceptiveness, although as a student, speaking critically of her teacher seed sowhat inappropriate.
But Ichihi felt that Teacher Fujimura’s power was weaker than hers. Noticing Fujimura’s observation was not difficult for Ichihi.
"Haha, Mahiru, your eyesight is quite keen."
Fujimura awkwardly scratched his head.
"So, Teacher Fujimura admits to it, right?"
"Yes."
Fujimura nodded; since he was discovered, he could only admit it frankly.
"Then, what’s the reason for secretly observing ? Or is Teacher Fujimura actually a perverted lolicon?"
Ichihi’s gaze toward Fujimura beca dangerous.
"Cough, cough, that’s too rude, Mahiru. I don’t have such unhealthy preferences. Why would you think of that?"
Fujimura was frightened by Ichihi’s daring assumption.
Fortunately, the office was empty, with only him and Ichihi inside; otherwise, that comnt alone would have caused him lots of trouble.
"Then why? It’s useless to lie in front of . You might not believe it, but even using violent ans, dealing with just a Chunin isn’t a problem for ."
Ichihi was very confident in her abilities.
Even without unlocking the seals in her body, dealing with a Chunin was easy for her.
Upon hearing Ichihi’s threat, Fujimura did not feel angry but was left staring blankly at Ichihi, as though lost in so mory.
"You remind very much of soone, Mahiru."
"Who?"
"Both the serious expression and the tone of disdain towards ’re Chunin’ are very similar to a student I once taught."
"Hmm..."
Perhaps an unexpected answer; Ichihi hadn’t thought she would receive attention from Teacher Fujimura for this reason.
"So, Teacher Fujimura secretly observed because I resemble a past student of yours?"
"Yes. Every ti I see Mahiru taking class seriously, I feel like I’ve beco twenty years younger."
Fujimura said with a sentintal tone.
"What a bother, a middle-aged greasy man’s self-delusion?"
"..."
The look of contempt was indeed very similar, almost as though cut from the sa mold.
If he weren’t sure that those two had already left Konoha, he would truly think Ichihi was their child.
However, how could that be possible?
They had long beco notorious Renegade Ninjas in Konoha. Even if they had a child, the child wouldn’t appear in Konoha.
After solving the mystery, Ichihi left the office.
Watching Ichihi’s departing figure, Fujimura instinctively scratched at the thinning hair atop his head.
"Yes, feeling increasingly young, the sensation of going back twenty years has grown stronger."
Unfortunately, there’s no going back.
Nurturing three excellent ninjas was indeed a lifelong honor for a teacher.
But thinking about how his most valued students later beca notorious S-Class Renegade Ninja in Konoha.
It was simply like a mockery from destiny.
However, fate was not completely teasing him, now giving him hope anew.
Having worked in education for twenty to thirty years, Fujimura could distinguish geniuses from ordinary people at a glance.
In his opinion, Ichihi was an even more outstanding unpolished gem compared to Uchiha Ruri back then, even more than Uchiha Itachi who graduated from Ninja School a year ago.
Fujimura made up his mind at this mont to cultivate Ichihi into an excellent ninja.

In the laboratory.
"How is Ichihi doing in Konoha?"
Since returning from Shikkotsu Forest, despite the nonchalant look on her face, Ruri still cared about Ichihi’s situation in Konoha.
After all, it’s different from the Land of Demons. If any sudden incidents occur there, it’s difficult for them to provide assistance.
"Don’t worry, as reported, Ichihi has officially enrolled in Konoha Ninja School. Also, I’ve already arranged for Ichihi to regularly write two letters every month, which the Shion Flower rchants Association will deliver, so there won’t be any problems."
Since entrusting his daughter to temporarily study in Konoha, Hakushi had already arranged everything.
Even in the event of unforeseen accidents, he could ensure Ichihi’s unhard transfer out of Konoha’s core.
