Indra sat calmly in the back window seat, listening boredly to Shino-sensei's lecture.
He couldn't help but feel it was extremely dull.
He had already mastered all of these things.
Beside him, Himawari was attentively taking notes, looking serious.
After a while, the bell rang, signalling the end of class.
"Alright class, that's all for today. Remember to revise it at home — it will be important for your upcoming exams," announced Shino-sensei.
After that, Shino-sensei walked out of the classroom with his materials.
The students began discussing among themselves once the teacher left.
Himawari let out a deep breath of relief and relaxed in her seat. Looking at Indra, she started a conversation.
"Well, that was tiring, don't you think so, Indra-kun? That was really exhausting," she said cheerfully.
"Not really. That was just too basic. I learned it ages ago," Indra answered in his usual indifferent tone.
Hearing this, Himawari pouted.
"Honestly, Indra-kun, with how smart you are it's really annoying sometimes. Especially with that expressionless face — I can't tell if you're being smug or stating the truth."
"Tch."
"Hey! Don't 'tch' me, Indra-kun, you meanie!" she said, pouting angrily, which somehow made her look even cuter.
Indra flicked her forehead.
"Ouch! Hey, why did you do that?!" Himawari said angrily while clutching her forehead.
That only made Indra smile slightly.
"Nothing much. I expected nothing less from your airheadedness… but you are adorable," he said with a rare teasing smile.
Himawari immediately blushed.
The rest of the class stared at them.
All of them had the same thought:
They had just been force-fed dog food.
The one gnashing his teeth the most was Boruto — his rival acting lovey-dovey with his sister.
Damn you, Indra, Boruto thought while clenching his teeth.
Meanwhile, Boruto's friends could only sweat-drop beside him.
On the other side, Sarada was internally cheering. At this rate, she might actually get a sister-in-law in the future.
After a while, all the students left.
Indra started heading home with his sister.
They talked normally along the way, Sarada asking for tips on improving while Indra explained things clearly.
After reaching home and greeting his mother, he went to his room.

(Indra POV)
I fell into deep thought about how to improve myself.
In the future, I'll have to fight those aliens, and I want to stand as the strongest.
My mastery of the five basic elements is already complete.
I should start researching Yin and Yang Release, although I already have a basic grasp from the original Indra's memories.
That's why I devised a plan to learn the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique and the Akimichi clan's Body Expansion Technique.
Some may ask how I can acquire them when they are secret clan techniques.
Simple.
With a hand seal, a puff of smoke appeared, revealing a crow with a three-tomoe Sharingan pattern in its eyes.
I used an advanced application of Sharingan genjutsu that allows me to share senses with the animal.
Using this, I have been scouting both clans while they train their secret arts.
With a thought, I can cancel the reverse summoning.
These two techniques will be very beneficial in the future.
If I master Yin–Yang Release and combine it with shadow manipulation… I might even create a shadow realm similar to the Quincy in Bleach.
I would also need space-time abilities for that.
Touching my eyes, I can feel it.
The Mangekyō is near.
Activating my Sharingan, I shared my senses with the crow.

The crow sat on a power pole overlooking the Nara clan training ground, where several members practiced the Shadow Imitation Jutsu.
On the other side, another crow observed the Akimichi training ground, watching how they used the Body Expansion Jutsu.
One might wonder why they didn't notice the crows.
It was simple — I placed a specialized genjutsu on them, making them invisible to normal sight and even chakra sensing.
To avoid loopholes, I even had Himawari verify it with her Byakugan. Even she had a hard time detecting them.
As I carefully memorized every step and how the techniques were used, I couldn't help but smirk.
I could already think of many ways to apply them.
