The people paired with Uchiha Shizuru were almost all top-ranked in the class's practical training sessions.
This resulted in her performing very poorly.
It once became the last one in the league.
Finally, the last battle came to an end.
Koki ranked first with a perfect record, while Uchiha Shizumi ranked last with a perfect record of losses.
Gu Mu's expression was not good. He guessed that someone might have tampered with the lottery, otherwise how could anyone be so unlucky?
As for who it is, we can rule out Tobirama first, as he was the Second Hokage and would naturally disdain doing such a thing.
I doubt there's anyone who could cause trouble right under the Second Hokage's nose.
So it really might be that her girlfriend was just unlucky.
"It seems I really don't have the talent to be a ninja. Even the heavens are against me."
Uchiha Shizusui looked helpless.
"It's alright, Jing Shui. Your performance today gives you a good chance to convince the teacher."
Ancient trees were there to comfort him.
Uchiha Shizusui shook her head: "I'm sorry, Koki-kun, I'd like to take a break from school for now. I want some peace and quiet."
[Uchiha Shizuru, filled with intense resentment, harvests 300 points of emotion.]
"what?"
"Okay, I'll explain it to the teacher."
Gu Mu knew that Uchiha Shizuru was a very proud person, having been last in the class twice.
It is estimated that this left a significant scar on her heart.
This definitely needs a period of buffer time.
It's a pity that it will be difficult to take advantage of the deals during this period.
.........
Koki originally thought that Uchiha Shizuru's buffer time would not be long, at most no more than half a month.
Judging from this girl's personality, she'll probably undergo some grueling training over the next two weeks.
Only after they have thoroughly improved their practical skills will they return to the academy.
However, the ancient tree waited for almost a month.
He didn't encounter Uchiha Shizuru even once.
"Is this girl in trouble?"
That afternoon, after finishing his class, Gu Mu's expression was somewhat solemn.
Logically speaking, Konoha should be very safe now, at least 100% safe before Hashirama Senju's incident.
Therefore, it can be ruled out that something happened to Uchiha Shizuru.
The only explanation is that there were other factors that led her to drop out of school.
"Why don't we go take a look?"
As Gu Mu watched, he realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the Uchiha clan's residence.
He decided to go and see for himself.
Unfortunately, the reason why Gu Mu hesitated was because he was afraid of some fanatical followers of Uchiha Izuna within the Uchiha clan.
Who knows, seeing that he's the son of a second-generation rich kid, he might launch a vicious attack and retaliate.
Chapter 15 The Autistic Girl, Gu Mu's Redemption
To Koki's surprise, he easily entered the area managed by the Uchiha clan.
That's true. The Uchiha clan is still under the influence of the sugar-coated bullets created by the First Hokage.
Naturally, they wouldn't easily refuse other people in the village.
At least, they still sadly believed that they could live peacefully with other clans in the village.
"You're probably not from the Uchiha clan, are you? What brings you here?"
Gu Mu turned around and saw a ninja wearing a green security uniform.
It seems that Tobirama has already begun to try to establish the Konoha Police Force.
"I'm here to look for someone."
"Are you looking for someone? What's their name? Maybe I know them."
Gu Mu glanced at the unfamiliar Uchiha a few more times, and said slightly, "I'm looking for Uchiha Kagami. He and I are classmates, and I have something to discuss with him."
"Uchiha Kagami? He's a genius of our clan."
As the tribesman spoke, a hint of pride crossed his face: "I'll take you there now."
Genius?
Even if this is considered genius, the quality is indeed somewhat low.
That's true. Nowadays, apart from Madara Uchiha, there really isn't anyone else in the Uchiha clan who can be considered respectable.
Soon, the Uchiha clansman led the old tree to a relatively prosperous house.
Unexpectedly, Uchiha Kagami holds a fairly high position within the Uchiha clan.
"What do you want from me?"
Before Gu Mu could knock on the door, Uchiha Kagami had already appeared in front of him.
"Let me ask where Uchiha Shizumizu lives."
"Aren't you of the same race?"
"Oh, I see. It's over there."
Uchiha Kagami seemed to have known all along that Koki was going to ask about this matter, so he pointed in a direction and went back expressionlessly.
"Thank you."
Gu Mu thanked him and headed in that direction.
However, he clearly noticed that the way this guy was looking at him was a little strange.
Could it be that something really has happened?
Finally, after making some inquiries, Gu Mu successfully arrived at the place where Uchiha Shizumi lived.
The house isn't big; it's just an ordinary two-story building.
"What's with this feeling of slight tension?"
Gu Mu seemed to recall the nervous scene when he first met his girlfriend's parents in his previous life.
After knocking carefully on the door, Gu Mu waited for a moment, but there was no response.
"excuse me."
To prevent any accidents, Gu Mu had no choice but to force open the door, which fortunately was not locked.
What comes into view is a pair of slippers and a rather quiet hall.
The excessive tidiness made Gu Mu raise an eyebrow slightly. This doesn't seem like a place anyone lives.
"Jing Shui, I'm here to see you. Is anyone home?"
Gu Mu looked around and quickly finished looking at the first floor.
In the kitchen, there were some unwashed plates that looked like they hadn't been there long.
Feeling uneasy, Gu Mu immediately headed towards the second floor.
If there really is no one there, then it can only mean that Uchiha Shizumizu has disappeared.
Fortunately, when Gu Mu opened the door to another room, he finally saw a bulge covered by a bed sheet.
The curtains were drawn tightly, making the room quite dark, and the motionless state of the window made Gu Mu's heart clench.
He could only try his best not to think about it that way.
Otherwise, he would definitely go crazy, even more so than Obito.
If Jing Shui really gets into trouble, then he will only be able to make the whole world pay the price.
With trembling hands, he lifted the bed sheet.
What came into view was a white-clad girl lying limply on the bed, her eyes lifeless, her messy hair looking like it hadn't been washed for days.
Fortunately, there were no serious injuries, and her breathing was normal.
This is the best outcome.
"Jing Shui, I'm here. I'm Gu Mu."
