Chapter 303: Ch.303 Rehearsal
The clamor of the outside world didn't affect Uchiha Shinji.
For the next few days, he went to and from school as usual, his days showing no significant changes.
Of course.
If one had to point out a change, it would be that his fame had suddenly spread from the shinobi academy to the entire village. Defeating "Wood Release" was indeed a hot topic in Hidden Leaf, and many villagers, upon encountering him on the streets, would whisper a few words among themselves.
Uchiha Shinji brushed it off with a smile.
As for the shinobi academy, since he'd already been the top student before, his classmates' attitudes toward him didn't shift much.
Moreover, many understood deep down that Uchiha Shinji's victory over Yakumo this time was purely because Yakumo had just undergone surgery, her mastery of "Wood Release" still lacking, and her foundation in taijutsu somewhat weak.
