Hearing that voice, Minato Namikaze chose to remain silent, while Fugaku Uchiha's killing intent flared, anger rising within him.
Rakawa's gaze swept across, looking towards the source of the voice.
They were two people who looked strikingly similar, their Byakugan being the best proof of their identity: Hiashi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga.
Both of them were also in this Ninja Academy, and in the same class as Rakawa. When they saw Rakawa about to leave the classroom, they stood up. Fugaku Uchiha's words had prompted them to retort.
The two slowly approached. Fugaku Uchiha was overcome with rage and shouted, "What do you two white-eyed ingrates wretches want? Whoever stops me today will die!"
Almost blinded by anger, he spoke without thinking, uttering words that made others break out in a cold sweat. Those still in the classroom stopped, their gazes fixed on the twin brothers.
As expected, just as everyone had anticipated, Hiashi and Hizashi fell silent after hearing those words, then erupted in fury.
"You red-eyed jealous fool, you're looking for death."
Whoosh whoosh!
The two surrounded Fugaku, one in front and one behind, looking ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Similarly, Rakawa also felt a surge of anger at Fugaku Uchiha's words.
He was now a member of the Hyuga Clan and possessed the Byakugan. To be slandered by a member of the Uchiha Clan in such a way naturally displeased him.
However, if Hiashi and Hizashi were to fight, they could absolutely overpower Fugaku Uchiha. He wouldn't need to intervene.
Fugaku already regretted his words the moment they left his mouth. Publicly offending these two brothers would do him no good; instead, it would land him in trouble.
Hiashi and Hizashi were from the Hyuga Main Family, and he was the young leader of the Uchiha Clan. Both held extraordinary statuses. For him to say such things now could easily lead to rumors, making people mistakenly believe he intended to declare war on the Hyuga Clan.
It was precisely for this reason that he regretted it.
But when the term jealousy appeared, Fugaku grew even angrier.
"Who's looking for death now, you Hyuga Clan trash? If you're not convinced, then let's fight!"
Saying this, he struck a fighting pose. The students in the classroom immediately dispersed, providing a wider space for battle.
Indeed, there were many people who loved to watch a good show, no matter which world it was.
Hiashi and Hizashi both snorted coldly, then were about to make their move.
But at that moment, Rakawa calmly said, "Hiashi, Hizashi, he's my prey. He's looking for trouble with me, it has nothing to do with you. Now, what do you want with me?"
Leaving Fugaku Uchiha aside, he was more interested in these two.
Hiashi and Hizashi looked at him simultaneously. Hiashi said, "Of course we're here to cause you trouble."
"No, we're here to spar with you."
Hizashi quickly added, and Hiashi came to his senses. "Right, we're here to spar with you."
Hearing this, Rakawa almost laughed. Hiashi was a bit simple-minded, while Hizashi seemed quite intelligent. However, how did this seem to contradict the personalities he knew them to have?
"Spar? As fellow members of the Hyuga Clan, you don't need to spar with me."
"No, it's not about whether it's needed, but whether it's necessary."
Hizashi said this, and Hiashi nodded repeatedly in strong agreement.
In fact, thinking from another perspective, one could understand their intentions. Although Rakawa was from the Branch Family, his status and treatment were in no way inferior to the Main Family. Not only was he raised by an elder, but he was also occasionally attended to by members of the Main Family.
The Title of Genius was bestowed upon him by the Hyuga Clan, and it was well-deserved. Although not many people had witnessed him fight, this title had accompanied him since birth and had never faded.
Among Hiashi and Hizashi, Hiashi would become the Main House Head, and Hizashi would become the Branch House Head. With their superior bloodline from the Main Family, both were also considered geniuses and were quite well-known in Konoha. Whenever they left their homes, people often discussed their Title of Genius.
However, those words of praise made them feel bitter inside. Only they knew that within the Hyuga Clan, the true title of genius belonged only to Hyuga Rakawa.
The name Hyuga Rakawa was like an invisible mountain pressing down on the hearts of their generation, making them desperately chase, yet always out of reach.
Even though they worked hard, no matter how much effort they put in, the elders would always say, 'It's still far off, far off. Compared to Rakawa, it's still far off.'
Why were they always compared to someone who hadn't really fought much?
"Need and necessity are indeed different, but challenging me would be the same for you."
Rakawa's words made the Hiashi brothers grit their teeth, their fists clenching.
"Let's settle this today."
Hiashi said grumpily. Rakawa shook his head. "No interest. Fighting brats like you is a waste of time."
"..."
"...You're the brat! I was born a few days before you, you jerk."
Hiashi's face darkened. What was with that elder-like tone? 'I was clearly born several days before you, you're the brat, an absolute brat.'
Fugaku Uchiha was also stunned. These three Hyuga jerks actually ignored him, treating him with blatant contempt.
"Are you all not putting me in your eyes?"
"We're not putting you in our eyes. What about it?"
Hiashi blurted out, making Fugaku's face turn black with rage. The Hyuga Clan was too arrogant.
Hizashi and Rakawa were speechless. Hiashi spoke without much thought, and he still had a long way to go on his path to becoming a future Clan Head.
There was no need to converse with Hiashi. Fugaku remembered his initial purpose and glared at Rakawa, saying, "You Hyuga Clan trash, let's have a proper fight today!"
"Sorry, as fellow members of the Hyuga Clan, we have priority."
Hizashi's light remark infuriated Fugaku to no end. Priority? He'd never heard of such a thing.
Rakawa, meanwhile, looked at Hizashi. He could see a hint of resolve in his white pupils.
"Since you insist, I'll indulge you. There's not enough space here. The school playground / training ground." Then he looked at Fugaku Uchiha. "Yours can be dealt with later. It'll be the same no matter when."
With that, he calmly walked out of the classroom. If these brats had such determination, there was no need to be polite.
Hiashi grew excited and eagerly followed him out, giving Fugaku Uchiha a disdainful look on his way, which made the latter's blood boil.
Hizashi was much calmer, but his fighting spirit was no less intense.
