Chapter 28: ch28
The ideological work must start from the ninja academy so that Konoha can prosper and grow even more.
[Ding! Congrats to Host for learning the Profound Art of Taijutsu, Thousand Years of Death!]
Uchiha Nanaya, who woke up in the morning, suddenly found that he had awakened a new skill.
Thousand Years of Death?
This is a comical taijutsu move.
Does he really need to learn this trick?
Isn't it the skill of putting the index and middle fingers together and striking forward with force?
A few days ago, the Third Hokage asked Nanaya to attend the ninja academy's orientation session as the representative of the Special Genin.
And today is the day to attend the Third Hokage's Guidance Conference.
Now, he has become a Special Genin and a role model for the ninja academy.
In the square, the thin figure of the Third Hokage stood there.
The Third Hokage, often called "the Professor," was not very tall.
Not only was the Third Hokage present, but several Anbu were guarding him.
Kakashi, Might Guy, Asuma, Genma Shiranui, and several other Jōnin were also there.
Dozens of ninja academy students sat in attendance.
Iruka stood by and looked at the stalwart figure of the Third Hokage, envious of that glorious image.
The Third Hokage Mentoring (Brainwashing) Conference began.
Today's Third Hokage didn't smoke.
Asuma might have been exposed to secondhand smoke since he was a child.
Influenced by the Third Hokage, he became a smoker himself.
Ahem—
Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and said, "Children, you are the young forces of the village. Remember to take good care of this village and protect your family."
"Wherever the leaves fly, the fire also grows..."
Kakashi had a stern face, and no one else could see his expression behind the mask.
He heard this phrase from the Third Hokage when he was still at the ninja academy.
"Is that all Hokage-sama can say?"
Naruto, Shikamaru, and several others had a lifeless expression.
"This old man, what is he talking about!"
The Third Hokage talked for about half an hour.
"Okay, as your role model from the same period, you brats haven't seen him for a long time, right?"
"Nanaya, are you here yet?"
The place fell silent immediately.
Naruto: "Nanaya, is Big Brother Nanaya here? I'm really upset; he's the first to graduate."
Sasuke: "That Nanaya guy, he became a Genin. I can't even compare to a civilian Uchiha?"
Several breaths passed, but Uchiha Nanaya never appeared.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned inwardly.
"This guy Nanaya won't stand me up, will I lose face as Hokage?"
Iruka himself forgot.
In their class, not only were Naruto and Kiba problem children, but this Uchiha Nanaya was also a problem child!
Asuma's expressions became strange.
"Isn't this kid really not here?"
The one who stands up the Hokage is a Special Genin; can you believe it?
They had met Nanaya in a dessert shop before and thought he was an ordinary person with the characteristics of the Uchiha family.
What are the characteristics of the Uchiha clan?
That's being handsome!
"Lord Third Hokage, Nanaya is here, didn't you see?"
The Special Jōnin Anko reminded carefully.
"Here, where is he?"
The crowd was also dumbfounded.
"Look, behind those little devils."
Anko pointed behind Naruto's group.
As expected, Nanaya was sitting there on the ground, propping his chin with his hands, nodding off.
Dozing and daydreaming.
The Third Hokage had a black line.
"Is it because I'm old and my eyesight isn't good? When did this guy appear there?"
Kakashi: "Anko's student, the guy named Uchiha Nanaya has a weak presence."
Genma Shiranui's senbon fell to the ground.
"Was he in the group just now? When did he get there?"
Seeing the strange expressions on these people's faces, Anko murmured inwardly.
"What are these people doing, haven't they seen my lovely disciple?"
Her disciple was so cute, Anko noticed it at first sight.
"Hey, Nanaya, don't sleep. Lord Hokage is calling you again."
Iruka immediately walked to Nanaya's side and shouted loudly.
Opening his sleepy eyes, Nanaya saw the scar on Iruka's nose for the first time.
"Oh, Iruka-sensei, it's you!"
Sure enough, this student was the one that gave him the most headaches.
"Hey, Lord Hokage is calling you again, did you hear me?"
"Old man, the old man from the Third Hokage, didn't he say that as long as I appear on the stage, it's alright? I'm sleeping soundly, you should have woken me up."
While in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage did tell Nanaya that as long as he was present it would be fine.
Didn't expect the Third Hokage to suddenly call him out.
What about just being an example?
Third Hokage, you are not benevolent!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.
Kakashi: "Ignoring Hokage-sama, you are the first."
Asuma: "Old man, I didn't expect you to have this happen."
Anko laughed: "As expected of my disciple."
Naruto laughed out loud.
"Brother Nanaya, I really have to hand it to you. I knew I wouldn't be here."
Ahem...
To avoid embarrassment, the Third Hokage coughed again.
"Okay, Nanaya, come forward."
Those people in Kakashi's group who have worked under the Third Hokage for many years naturally understand the temperament of the Third Hokage.
A kind old man, if this were Danzo or someone else, there might be a professional penalty.
Fortunately, the Third Hokage used to see Uchiha Nanaya sleeping in class through the crystal ball.
Now, it's nothing more than his nature.
Uchiha Nanaya walked up to the Third Hokage.
Confusedly greeted.
"Hello, Third Hokage-sama!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Nanaya on the shoulder and said softly:
"Kid, give me some face, will you?"
The Third Hokage is also someone who cares about appearances, and he has a lovely side to his personality.
"Very good, little brats, you should all know this man. He is the oldest among you, and the first among you to graduate."
Looking at the group of people who looked at Naruto sitting on the ground, he introduced Nanaya carefully.
Naruto: "Old man, we don't need an introduction; we are all very familiar with Nanaya."
"Yes, yes, Lord Hokage, Nanaya-kun is the first of us to graduate."
Ino looked at Nanaya with a dreamy expression.
"Wow, Nanaya-kun is so handsome."
Since the last time Nanaya defeated Sasuke, Ino has lost interest in Sasuke.
She thinks Sasuke is a commoner, a little puppy.
She likes mature and masculine ones like Uchiha Nanaya.
The point is, in terms of appearance, Nanaya seems to be more handsome.
Now only Sakura and some other girls are around Sasuke, and Ino has long since moved on.
Sakura is overjoyed that she has one less competitor.
Uchiha Nanaya thought, why didn't you notice me when I was sleeping at the ninja academy?
