Huh?
Why does this kid look so familiar?
In the shade of the trees on the left side of the path, two boys who appeared to be around ten years old, probably close to graduating from the ninja school, were pinning a seven or eight-year-old child against the wall.
Originally, Yu had no extra energy to care about such matters. However, when he saw the child pinned against the wall, with dark skin and deep, pineapple-like hair, he felt that he looked very familiar.
So, he stopped in his tracks and calmly spoke up, "Hey, you two! What do you think you're doing?"
"Huh?"
Hearing someone interfering, the two ten-year-old ninja school boys immediately turned around. But when they saw the little kid standing behind them, who was even younger than the one they were bullying, they burst into laughter.
"Even a little brat like this one wants to meddle in this?"
Swish!
Before they could even finish their words, they suddenly felt a blur in front of their eyes, and Yu had disappeared from where he was standing.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two muffled sounds followed. The pineapple-haired child who had just realized what was happening was astonished to see the two boys who had been bullying him knocked to the ground by Yu in an instant.
"So... impressive!"
Seeing Yu, who was a few years younger, easily defeating the two ninja school boys who were about to graduate, the pineapple-haired child, leaning against the wall, opened his mouth wide in shock and couldn't find words to say.
"It hurts..."
"Damn it... How can such a little kid be so strong?!"
The two ten-year-old ninja school boys hadn't even understood what had just happened before they were knocked to the ground, staring in utter amazement at the five-year-old Yu.
"What are you standing there for?"
"Aren't you going to run?"
In the blink of an eye, Yu had effortlessly dealt with the two ten-year-old ninja school boys. He turned his head and looked at the pineapple-haired child leaning against the wall, speaking calmly.
During his time away, Yu had not only focused on developing the abilities of his Thread-Thread Fruit and practicing ninjutsu but had also dedicated a lot of effort to physical training. Now that he had reached the level of a Genin in terms of chakra, dealing with these two ninja school students who had just learned to harness chakra was a piece of cake.
"Ergh!"
Hearing Yu's calm voice, the pineapple-haired boy, who had been leaning against the wall in a daze, suddenly seemed to wake up as if from a dream.
He wanted to thank Yu but, at this moment, an untimely voice interrupted.
"In this situation..."

"Do you have the time to meddle in someone else's business?"
With the arrival of this voice, four mysterious figures had already blocked the path where Yu and the pineapple-haired boy were standing.
"Yu, right?"
"After the last incident, I specifically found out your name..."
Once the four figures had blocked Yu and the pineapple-haired boy's way, they all wore a cold, hateful smile on their faces. It was none other than Inari, the ninja school student who had been severely taught a lesson by Yu last time.
"In this situation..."
"Do you have the time to meddle in someone else's business?"
With the arrival of this voice, four mysterious figures had already blocked the path where Yu and the pineapple-haired boy were standing.
"Yakushi Yu, right?"
"After what happened last time, I went out of my way to find out your name..."
After the figures of four people blocked the path of Yu and the pineapple-headed boy.
I saw a sneer full of hatred on the face of the visitor. It was the ninja school student Inari who was severely punished by Yu last time.
"Hurry...go!"
"It's Inari, Kotetsu, and the others!"
As if sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, the two ninja school boys who were lying on the ground next to them immediately got up and ran away in a hurry.
Only the pineapple-headed boy who was rescued by Yu was left. He hesitated and gritted his teeth and chose to stand behind Yu.
"It turns out it's you..."
"The guy who peed his crotch last time."
He saw Inari, who had been severely punished by him last time, leading three other senior boys from the ninja school to block his way.
I saw Yu slowly turning around. Not only was there no look of panic on his face, but there was a trace of ridicule on the corner of his mouth, "What? Didn't what happened last time make you remember better?"
"Damn you, brat!!"
Sure enough, as soon as Yu's plain words came out, Inari immediately gritted his teeth.
The last painful experience lingered in his mind like a nightmare.
If it weren't for his own unauthorized actions and use of ninja tools, his parents would have gone to the Konoha Orphanage, and Yu would have caused trouble.
In the end, they had to swallow their anger. After being sent to the ninja hospital for treatment, the two brothers, Inari and Inaz, were lectured by their parents.
"Hmph, are all the newbies in the ninja school so arrogant now?"
Before Inari could get out of his anger.
The boy with black hair and bangs covering his right cheek standing next to Inari had stood up and snorted coldly.
"Inari, are you being taught a lesson by such a brat? Then you are too immature."
At the same time, standing on the other side of Yu was a boy with long black hair parted in the middle like a hedgehog.
It seemed that he couldn't stand Yu's indifferent attitude, so he took a step forward and sarcastically said.
"These two guys?"
He was sandwiched between two ninja school boys who looked to be around ten years old.
Looking at the familiar faces of the two of them, Yu suddenly remembered their identities, and suddenly said on his face, "So that's it... Kamizuki Izumo and Kotetsu Hagane are the two supporting actors..."
"The way you welcome new students is quite special."
Both are Konoha's elite Chunin in the original work.
The tacit understanding and deep trust cultivated over many years make the two people's cooperation almost seamless.
They are all in their teens now and are senior students at the ninja school.
What Yu didn't expect was that these two Chunin, who were in the original novel, were actually the bullies of the ninja school when they were teenagers.
"Okay, senior Kotetsu, senior Izumo."
"Stop talking nonsense, teach this kid a lesson and go back."
A sickly voice urged impatiently.
I saw Hayate, the last boy among the four of them, speak.
He has a pale complexion, a black turban, and severe dark circles under his eyes, and looks frail and sickly.
Hayate Gekko!
Yu recognized this young man's identity at a glance.
In the original book, Konoha's special Jonin, the protagonist Naruto, and the examiner of the third Chunin exam.
He was also Uzuki Yagao's childhood sweetheart, a short-lived ghost who died at the hands of Sunagakure Jonin Maki during Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha.
Of course, the Gekko Hayate in front of Yu is only eight years old now.
He is one year younger than Kotetsu and Izumo, but his strength is stronger than those two.
"There are quite a few familiar faces..."
"It's a pity that they are all irrelevant bits."
After recognizing the identities of the three ninja school teenagers in front of him, Yu reached out and raised his fingers at the four teenagers in front of him.
"Okay, don't waste my time anymore..."
"You can come together. I'm in a hurry to get home."
