At the ninja academy.
The Third Hokage stood on the main podium and gave an opening speech.
"...where the leaves dance, the fire will burn, and the fire will shine... to illuminate the village, and let the new leaves sprout. This is the root... ahem, the Will of Fire!"
"I hope that all the students here can inherit the Will of Fire and become Konoha's Hokage... Ahem! Be useful to the village!"
Clap clap clap...
The students below applauded excitedly.
However, the few Konoha Jōnins who attended the opening ceremony next to them looked a little puzzled.
"How do you feel that the Third Hokage... is absent-minded? His footsteps are sloppy, his breath is not stable, it feels so empty..." Kurenai Yuhi narrowed her eyes slightly, and said after careful observation.
Kakashi Hatake drooped his dead fish eyes: "It's better to say that he is out of shape, look at the dark circles under the eyes of the Third Hokage, they are too heavy."
Anko Mitarashi: "Ah? The Third Hokage is also considered heavy? I saw Might Guy two days ago, and his dark circles are heavy, and the little apprentice behind him is even heavier."
Uzuki Yugao: "What happened? Although the Third Hokage is getting old, things like the opening ceremony should be planned in advance? Have you forgotten?"
Ibiki Morino: "After all, the Third Hokage is a bit old. You can't force it. It's already very good to be able to do this."
Kakashi: "Yes, at the age of the Third Hokage, he should have enjoyed his old age long ago, and yet he's still running around on the front line. It is already difficult for him."
...
Hearing the doubts from a group of subordinates, the Third Hokage on the stage was in a trance and felt very aggrieved!
How could I have ended up like this if it wasn't for Naruto's meddling?
You think I'm really demented!
"...Then, the opening ceremony is over!"
"Next, Iruka will lead everyone to the classroom!"
"The meeting is over!"
Not long after, Iruka led a group of students into the largest lecture hall of the ninja academy.
"Chōji, I'll eat a slice of your potato chips!"
"Sasuke, Sasuke, here is the breakfast I brought you..."
"Kiba, give me back the things!"
"Excuse me, Hinata, did I bump into you?"
"After looking around, it seems that only Naruto and Sasuke are the most handsome!"
"Uchiha also has a few that are okay, but the vibe is a bit gloomy."
"I'll go! It's a good thing that the Third Hokage came last night, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get into this school!"
"That's right, if the Third Hokage hadn't sent people overnight to persuade them to return, they wouldn't have been able to study in the ninja academy!"
"It's all Naruto's fault!"
"That's right! Naruto's so strong, forcing us to set high standards like him!"
"Where is there such a person! It's fine to push yourself, but even affecting those around you. I just want to be a lazy ninja!"
"That's right! I just want to take it easy, I don't want to become so strong at all!"
"My goal is not to become a Jōnin, I just want to be a guard in Konoha..."
...
For a while, the students talked a lot.
Some discussed trivial matters, and some discussed handsome men and beautiful women.
But most of them were discussing Naruto.
On Naruto's side, he also felt a little uncomfortable.
Because he hadn't felt so many hostile gazes for a long time.
"Well, two-thirds of the students are hostile to me, and one-third are indifferent."
"It seems that it is not enough."
"It has to be pushed a little more."
Naruto just finished thinking.
Immediately, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Successful involution! You have obtained 100 involution points!]
"Kids, be quiet."
Iruka stepped onto the podium.
"Everyone, welcome to the school."
"I am your teacher, Iruka."
"Clap clap clap!"
There was applause in the classroom.
Iruka looked at the roster in his hand, then glanced at Naruto, Neji, and Sasuke, and said with a little embarrassment:
"This year's ninja academy was supposed to be divided into 4 classes."
"However, because Mr. Mizuki, Mr. Fujiwara, and Mr. Shiraishi were all injured to varying degrees yesterday, and Mr. Mizuki was seriously injured, I will be taking care of all the students from the four classes this year."
As soon as Iruka finished speaking.
More than two hundred students turned their heads to face Naruto in unison.
Angry, complaining, blaming...
But the girls' reactions were very special; most of them were full of admiration and adoration.
"As expected of Naruto, he even injured the teacher before school started. It's too powerful!"
Sakura looked at Naruto's side profile with dreamy eyes.
"Hey! Forehead girl! What do you mean? Don't you like Sasuke? Why are you trying to grab Naruto from me again?" Ino asked with a vigilant face.
Sakura frowned: "This is called multi-party investment, casting a wide net, don't you even understand this?"
Ino: "Scum girl! Just go after Sasuke, and leave Naruto to me!"
Sakura: "No! I will observe for a while, and then select the best!"
It's started.
Classic female rivalry.
But this time the competition is not only for Sasuke; Naruto also occupies an important position.
"Damn... What's the matter with these girls? Do they only like handsome guys?"
Kiba Inuzuka gritted his teeth while watching.
It's really a case of feast or famine!
These people, no one cares about them at all.
Even the girl sitting in front didn't even want to take a second look!
But Naruto and Sasuke, these two sat in their seats without saying a word, and a group of girls were about to fight over them!
So frustrating!
"Cough cough, please keep quiet."
On the podium, Iruka emphasized discipline.
"Next, in order to let everyone get to know each other as soon as possible, please come forward and introduce yourself."
"The first one starts with Shino."
