When he woke up, the sun was high in the sky.
Haruki squinted his eyes slightly.
The brilliant summer sun shone through the curtains and landed on him.
But his good mood was completely ruined by the damned system!
[Congratulations on completing the engagement ceremony with Tsunade. Considering your physical condition, you are rewarded with the Sage Body and Sage Mode.]
Hey, system, are you crazy?
What physical condition? Don't slander your host!
However, the system was just a ruthless task - issuing machine and couldn't talk to Haruki.
He had a lot to complain about but no one to talk to.
But after obtaining the Sage Body and Sage Mode, he felt that his body had received an unimaginable enhancement.
He felt so powerful that he could almost act as boldly as Superman.
Moreover, the Sage Body given by the system was extremely authentic and very likely to be the most original Asura physique.
Haruki estimated that he could now fight Hashirama Senju.
Pulling himself back from his thoughts, he went into the room and glanced at Tsunade, who was still sleeping. He didn't disturb her and left a note on the table.
It said that breakfast was already prepared in the fridge and she just needed to warm it up a bit.
At the end, he drew a heart to express his good - morning wishes.
Haruki opened the door and only then noticed that the sun was almost directly overhead.
He smiled. The hot weather also made him feel comfortable.
A calm heart makes one feel cool in the heat.
The old ancestors were really right.
When you're in a good mood, everything seems nice.
Haruki went to the Ninja Academy. As soon as he entered the gate, he heard very lively sounds.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw it was the basketball court.
After the exhibition game between Kakashi Hatake's team and Asuma Sarutobi's team, basketball had completely become popular in the school.
The original one basketball court was far from enough, so they contacted Tomomi Koki to build three more, which barely met the students' needs.
What Haruki saw at this time was the first basketball court.
He stopped because there was an acquaintance on the court.
Obito Uchiha.
His lithe figure dashed across the court as if there were no opponents. He was truly unstoppable.
Haruki hadn't paid attention to the Ninja Academy for some time because of the wedding.
But he knew about Obito Uchiha's changes.
His appearance had been transformed by Haruki, and with the unremitting special training from Minato Namikaze and Mikoto Uchiha, his strength had skyrocketed. Now he was the second most prominent figure after Kakashi.
Facts proved how huge the influence of the environment could be.
With the growing admiration of students, Obito gradually changed his previous bad habits and was suddenly trending towards becoming the second Minato.
Geniuses always turn praise into achievements.
The formation of a positive cycle had created the current Obito.
Haruki waited for a moment. When Obito's ball game ended, cheers erupted all around.
Obito smiled and responded. He looked as generous and proper as if he were standing on the podium.
Until he saw Haruki, and his smile suddenly froze.
He wanted to run, but didn't dare. He could only obediently walk up to him.
"Teacher Haruki."
"Great game," Haruki said with a big smile.
"It was just okay," Obito's heart skipped a beat and he quickly shook his head.
"Did you come to my engagement ceremony yesterday?" Haruki suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Yeah! I went with Sister Mikoto."
"Oh, what gift did you give?"
"I didn't give one, but Sister Mikoto and the others from the Uchiha clan did."
"That's not right, is it? Mikoto is Mikoto, and you are you." Haruki raised an eyebrow. "Am I not good enough to you?"
"Nah!" Obito blurted out, then showed a troubled look. "But I... don't got nothin' to give."
"Who says you don't." Haruki patted him on the shoulder. "Do thirty test papers. Consider that your gift to me."
"Ah?" Obito's expression froze. After a moment of stupor, he tremblingly held up three fingers. "Thirty... thirty papers?"
"Not enough? Then I'll chuck in a few more?" Haruki showed a smile.
"Nah nah nah, that's enough, that's enough!" Obito's head shook like a rattle as he said with a mournful face.
"I heard you skipped class?" Haruki casually changed the topic.
"You said that if one has grades like Kakashi's, one can skip class."
Obito's heart skipped a beat. Thinking Haruki was going to settle the score, he quickly said, "You're a real hero, one of the famous Twin Gems of Konoha. Your words should count, right?"
"Sure it does." Haruki nodded.
Just as Obito was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Haruki's next words.
"But it's too embarrassing to be caught by the substitute teacher."
Obito finally understood the reason.
"If you're caught next time, it won't be solved by just thirty test papers."
"..."
Obito's body trembled involuntarily. Haruki's sunny smile was like a call from hell.
"Got it."
His voice sounded listless.
"Can't hear you if you're so quiet."
"Got it!" Obito immediately shouted loudly.
"Now that's more like it."
Haruki couldn't help laughing out loud. Teasing the future big boss was really a rare pleasure.
It was a pity that no one could share this pleasure with him.
Obito stole a furtive glance at him. He was sure that this teacher definitely had a very serious bad taste.
But he had no way to deal with it.
He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't talk back.
He could only accept it with tears in his eyes.
Alas, when will this hard life end?
"How's the situation in the class recently?"
Haruki originally planned to ask the substitute teacher, but since he met Obito, asking him would have the same effect.
"Not bad."
Obito pondered for a moment and squeezed out three words. He thought it was no different from before, except that no one laughed at him anymore.
"Oh, there's also one thing. The school is going to hold a basketball game, and our class will also participate. It's Asuma leading the team."
"Asuma? You and Kakashi didn't fight for the captain position?"
Haruki was a little surprised. Are today's kids so laid - back and non - competitive?
Obito hesitated for a moment and said, "That guy is full of himself, but he's not too bad. He took us out for great meals for several days, so I didn't bother to fight with him."
"..."
Haruki was speechless.
Goodness gracious!
How did the rebellious son of the Hokage learn to bribe people?
Who the hell did you learn that from?
