Childhood to until now, he couldn't understand some of his brother's behaviors or dirty words, but he was greatly shocked.
"Okay." Shiki said with a faint smile. Even if he wanted to talk back, it was not now, but later.
"Be careful on the way." Aburame Shiwei waved and watched them go away. There was a light snowfall in the sky, adding a bit of white to Konoha.
While on his way, Shiki suddenly stopped. At the end of the street, Sasuke appeared. Contrary to his usual aloof demeanor, he showed a bright smile on his face. The reason lies in the young ninja beside him, Uchiha Itachi.
"It's him." Sasuke said as he noticed Shiki.
"Your classmates?" Itachi took a look and asked.
"He's pretty good." Sasuke raised his chin slightly and said proudly, "Of course, you are far inferior to him."
"Don't underestimate any ninja." Itachi smiled and said.
"I know." Sasuke said as he disagreed in his heart.
"Since you have met your classmates, go to school with them." Itachi reached out his hand, tapped his forehead, and said, "Sorry, Sasuke, I'm very busy recently." It happened again. Sasuke curled his lips, a little unhappy, but finally agreed.
"If I am free, I'll pick you up after school." Itachi took a step back and his body turned into a crow and disappeared. To Sasuke this was a really cool move. Sasuke secretly decided that he would also learn this in the future. He quickened his pace and walked in front of Shiki.
'Hmm, there's one more person. Who is he?' Sasuke thought as he looked at Shino. If he couldn't remember, he would just ignore him.
"Aburame Shiki." Sasuke took the initiative and said, "In the next practical class, you will be my opponent." Hearing him, Shiki glanced at the sky. It was not a sunny day.
"Well, okay. " Shiki nodded calmly. He also wanted to achieve something. Seeing that he agreed, Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and continued walking forward.
"Brother, are you sure?" Shino asked, looking at Shiki's back. He couldn't help but worry. Sasuke was from the famous Uchiha clan. And on top of it, he was also Uchiha Itachi's younger brother.
"Don't worry, I will definitely win." Shiki said with a faint smile.
"…" For some reason, Shino wanted to see his brother get beaten up.

"Shiki-kun!" Arriving at the school gate, Shiki heard a familiar voice. He looked up and saw Ino waving at him not far away. The golden bangs swayed with her movements.
"Good morning." Shiki said and Ino's face turned red. It was not because she was shy, but because she was feeling old, and Shiki noticing her casually rolled up the scarf around her neck.
Seeing Shiki's action, Ino was stunned, and suddenly lowered her head. This time she was really shy. She whispered, "Thank you." Hearing her, Shiki said nothing and entered the school. She reacted and quickly caught up with a smile on her face.
"Shiki-kun..." Hinata opened her mouth. She wanted to move forward, but Ino got there first. No, she must tell him. Hinata's face was full of determination.
And just like that another boring day started. Compared to the ninja school, Shiki prefers to gain knowledge from Tsunade. Because he wants to improve. After school, Shiki walked out of the classroom amid the envious gazes of his friends. The news that he was accepted as Tsunade's disciple yesterday has spread. Konoha Village was not big, although it often creates myths.
"Shi... Shiki-kun." Hinata trotted up to him and handed him a folded piece of paper with both hands. Taking the paper, Shiki opened it subconsciously and was stunned. It was a passbook. There wss banks in this world, so there were also passbooks. In the original work, Jiraiya once showed it to Uzumaki Naruto.nShiki counted the zeros and found it was exactly one million ryo.
What was the meaning?
"Shiki-kun." Hinata clutched the corner of her clothes and explained, "I don't know how to thank you. This is all my pocket money."
'Pocket money?' Shiki suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach. The main source of income for Ninjas was missions. The tasks were divided into five levels. D-level tasks cost 5,000 ryo, C-level tasks cost 30,000 ryo, B-level tasks cost 80,000 ryo, A-level tasks cost 150,000 ryo, and S-level tasks cost 1 million ryo.
There will be appropriate fluctuations depending on the difficulty of the task. But no matter what, one million ryo would take a very long time for a Chunin or a Genin to earn.
[You have completed the achievement of 'Rich woman, I don't want to work hard anymore! ' and received the Flash Gu.]
[Flash Gu: A first-level consumable Gu insect, used to flash light.]
Shiki felt that the system was not rigorous. It should be a rich loli, not a rich woman.
"My meal must have costed a lot of money... so please accept it!" Hinata's tone became particularly firm at the end. This was the first time in her life that she felt so brave.
"What about you?" Shiki asked rhetorically.
"I...I don't need the money." Hinata was stared at by him, and her momentum weakened again, "If I have no money...Father will give it to me." Rich and generous indeed. If you think about it, Tsunade was only generous, not rich. But when she grew up, Hinata had both.
Shiki didn't hesitate, put away the passbook, and said, "Let's go eat barbecue." Now that he have money, he should show off and eat as much meat as he can.
"No need to climb over the wall anymore." Hinata suddenly thought of something and said.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught?" Shiki was a little surprised. Could it be that his courage-boosting plan worked?
"Father said that I could be friends with you." Hinata's tone was somewhat excited.
Hearing her Shiki raised an eyebrow slightly. He was arrogant at first and respectful later, which makes people laugh when they think about it. The only explanation was that Hyuga Hiashi knew that he became Tsunade's apprentice. That was not surprising. In the original work, the Hyuga clan were all loyal supporters of Hokage.
