**Chapter 3: Beating Asuma, the Hospital's Talent Begins to Show!**

The morning class was a cultural lesson, primarily covering Konoha's history and the great achievements of the legendary Third Hokage. 

Reiki couldn't muster any enthusiasm. 

Finally, as class ended, he got up and intended to ask the teacher about becoming a medical ninja. 

"Reiki, next class, you go to the back." 

An arrogant voice interrupted his thoughts. 

"Ok?" 

"Sarutobi Asuma?" 

Reiki looked at Asuma, who wore an unhappy expression, feeling a bit perplexed. 

Right, his deskmate is Kurenai Yuhi! 

That cleared things up. Asuma seemed to have taken a liking to Kurenai since childhood. Being the youngest son of the Hokage and having trained intensely, his strength far surpassed that of his peers. It was no surprise he was a bit arrogant. 

But if he wanted to flaunt that arrogance at Reiki, then he was in for a surprise. 

Reiki smirked slightly. Finally, he found an opportunity to visit Konoha Hospital. 

"A waste who only relies on his family connections," Reiki sneered. 

"Cut it out..." 

Reiki shot Asuma a disdainful look. 

Asuma's face turned red with anger. He hated being called a loser who relied on his family, and Reiki's scornful gaze stung even more. 

Seeing Kurenai look over only added to Asuma's embarrassment. He had to make a statement... 

With that thought, he lunged at Reiki. A mere orphan from an orphanage dared to confront him? It was simply unacceptable! 

Executing the standard Konoha Fluid Technique, Asuma launched a whip kick at Reiki. 

"Boom!" 

Reiki sidestepped Asuma's attack and kicked him in the waist, sending him flying. 

Initially, only Might Guy wanted to help, while the others simply watched the spectacle. When they saw Asuma flying out, their jaws dropped. 

"You dare to kick me in the waist?" 

"You're done for..." 

Asuma scrambled to his feet and charged at Reiki again. This was no longer about face; if he couldn't handle Reiki, he'd lose all respect! 

The two engaged in a fierce brawl, tumbling from the classroom to the playground outside, drawing an increasing number of spectators. 

Soon, the teacher arrived. 

What a show! 

Reiki's overall skill was at the genin level. Facing Asuma, he felt confident enough to hold his own. 

Asuma, who had been on the defensive, was losing control of the fight. After all, they were just seven-year-old kids. 

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Asuma unleashed ninjutsu directly. 

Reiki dodged the fireball just in time, then rushed in to grapple with him. Each punch landed in the most sensitive areas. 

With holy hands, he wasn't afraid of getting hurt. The physical exchanges escalated quickly, and soon both boys collapsed to the ground. 

"The Hokage's son wants to take me down with ninjutsu..." Reiki thought grimly. 

The teachers finally recognized the severity of the situation and rushed over. 

Before they could assess the two, Reiki let out a scream filled with grief, anger, and frustration. 

Asuma's identity as the Hokage's son led many students to start whispering among themselves. 

"Take them to the hospital first." 

"We should inform the Hokage about this." 

After the Chuunin teacher finished instructing, he swiftly took both boys away. 

Inside the Hokage's office... 

"Asuma was knocked unconscious by a classmate?" 

"Reiki?" 

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the information in front of him, puzzled. He was well aware of Class A's dynamics. Except for Hatake Sakumo's son, Hatake Kakashi, no one should have been able to overpower Asuma. 

As he examined the details—Reiki had broken bones, and Asuma had sustained a heavy blow to the head—he started to piece together what had happened. 

Was it a case of trading injuries? Asuma struggled in such scenarios. 

"Hokage-sama, what should we do?" an ANBU ninja began to ask. 

"No, I'll just go to offer my condolences," Hiruzen replied dismissively. 

"A child's spat isn't worth worrying about." 

Before the ANBU could elaborate, Hiruzen waved him off. Although there were issues with Reiki's behavior, they wouldn't matter coming from a child without significant influence. A personal visit to express condolences would suffice; there was no need to escalate the situation. 

At Konoha Hospital... 

Due to the ongoing Second Ninja War, many injured ninjas were being treated there. The medical ninjas were overwhelmed, and the two boys were placed in a large ward. 

"Sister, I'm really fine; look..." Reiki exclaimed, moving his
