Chapter 15: Li Jie xuan, Who Studies Seriously
"I hereby announce that starting today, it will officially be renamed the Ninja Academy!"
Standing atop the high podium, Senju Tobirama formally finalized the name and regulations of the Ninja Academy…
Konoha Year Twelve—the Ninja Academy was officially established! From this day on, Konoha's ninja training would break away from the small, family-based workshop model. Instead, it would be handed over to the Ninja Academy for instruction. Only after being trained into a qualified genin could one be considered a true ninja of Konoha.
"Hello everyone, I am your teacher—Yamada Tsugiyuki."
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Yamada Tsugiyuki pushed the Konoha forehead protector on his brow to the side and lazily raised an eyebrow. "I assume you all know what kind of system Lord Tobirama has put in place…"
Below the podium, a group of three- and four-year-old children stared at him with bright, focused eyes.
"In addition to the systems used in previous years, Lord Tobirama has specially added a last-place elimination system this year." At this point, Yamada Tsugiyuki's tone couldn't help but turn cold. "That means from this year onward, every single year, one person will be eliminated."
As soon as he said this, everyone's gaze shifted to Li Jie xuan. Clearly, they all believed that Li Jie xuan would be the one eliminated…
"Everyone, don't look at me like that. Sure, I'm handsome, but that can't possibly be the only reason you've all fallen in love with me…"
Li Jie xuan joked with a smile on his face, but inside, a storm was raging. In the original course of history, there had been no such rule. Otherwise, Naruto—the perennial dead last—would have been expelled long ago.
He hadn't expected that the first time history changed, it would be in this way. Because of Senju Tobirama's dislike of him, the rules of the Ninja Academy had been altered.
"But you're all so sure I'll be eliminated?"
Li Jie xuan secretly curled his lip. After several days of training and medicinal baths, his strength stat alone had already reached the power of two people. In pure strength, he was no weaker than the children of the Akimichi clan. As for chakra…
The genin-level basic chakra stored in the system was, no matter how one looked at it, more than enough for him to catch up to these favored heirs of the major clans.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yamada Tsugiyuki couldn't help raising his eyebrows: so this little guy must be Li Jie xuan.
Senju Tobirama wouldn't scold a new academy student for no reason. In fact, although Tobirama was rigid and severe, deep down he was still a good person. Otherwise, he never would have become Hokage.
"Today, we'll first talk about the basics of being a ninja…"
"The reason ninjas are powerful is that their foundation consists of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu!"
Seeing that the children below the podium showed little interest, Yamada Tsugiyuki nodded knowingly. "I imagine your families have already taught you all of this, so I won't go into detail."
But Li Jie xuan had a problem with that. Others may have heard this before, but he never had.
"Teacher, I haven't heard this before!"
Li Jie xuan stood up directly. He had come to the academy precisely to systematically learn ninja knowledge and narrow the gap between himself and the children of major clans. Faced with something like this, there was no way he would stay silent.
Confronted with Li Jie xuan's objection, Yamada Tsugiyuki didn't explain anything. He simply nodded. "Alright. Since a student has questions, I'll start from the beginning…"
And so, an entire day passed under Yamada Tsugiyuki's explanations…
During that time, murderous glares kept shooting toward Li Jie xuan.
Watching an introductory video you'd already seen once was one thing—having your head forcibly held down and made to watch it all over again was pure torture. Without realizing it, Li Jie xuan had thoroughly offended the entire class…
Yet Li Jie xuan remained completely unperturbed. He even took notes from time to time, paying no attention whatsoever to those hostile looks. What a joke—if looks could kill…
Wait, didn't Yamada Tsugiyuki just mention that many ocular techniques could actually do exactly that? This wasn't the old world anymore—here, eyes really could kill!
Write that down, write that down!
"This kid's really arrogant!" "Exactly, he's just a civilian!" "I heard he even got scolded by Lord Tobirama today."
"This brat—I'll definitely make him pay!"
Several children from minor clans sneered as they gathered together…
