Chapter 177 Admission (6)
As Yamato stepped back, Jiraiya walked up to the podium accompanied by his ANBU guards.
Umino Iruka, who was standing by, hurriedly followed, carried Yamato's chair up, and placed it behind Jiraiya.
"Please take a seat, Yondaime-sama."
Umino Iruka looked flattering.
Yamato who lost his seat: I'm going to the morning class.
"Thank you, Iruka."
"Ahem, then, first of all, please take your seats, and parents, please stand in the back and wait."
As Iruka finished his words, the children began to approach their familiar companions.
Soon, most of the second generation disciples gathered on Naruto's side.
Many girls were attracted by Sasuke's handsome appearance and approached him actively.
Finally, there are the exchange students and war orphans living in the school dormitories.
Through the contact over the past few days, they have become more or less familiar with each other, so they naturally sat together.
"Who is the little yellow-haired guy in the middle?"
Seeing that most people gathered around Naruto, Kurotsuchi whispered to a classmate from Konoha beside him.
"He, he is the son of 'Yellow Flash', Uzumaki Naruto."
Looking in the direction of Heitu's finger, the classmate enthusiastically helped Heitu to answer his questions.
"No way, he's the son of Yellow Flash."
The other party's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Omoy.
"That's a terrifying existence that can shatter the Thunder Armor of Raikage-sama. If I offend his son, will he secretly capture me and use the Rasengan to torture me severely—"
"here we go again."
Karui held his forehead helplessly.
"Hey, Naruto, long time no see."
"It's Ya, why haven't I seen you for a while."
"Hey, of course it's to surpass you."
Rubbing his nose, Inuzuka Kiba's face was full of pride.
There will be a talent show after the opening ceremony of the Ninja School. In order to surpass Naruto, Inuzuka Kiba specially dragged his sister to accompany him for special training.
That's why I haven't appeared among the children these days.
"Really, Ya, but you have to know——"
Aburame Shino, who was covering half of her face with her collar, appeared around the crowd at some point and was about to say something when she was ruthlessly interrupted by Ino.
"Ah, the Yondaime-sama has come on stage."
Aburame Shino: ...
"Ahem, dear students and parents, I am Umino Iruka, a teacher at the Ninja School. On behalf of the school, I welcome you all!"
"The Ninja School is the second generation master, Senju Tobirama, who inherited the teachings of the first generation Hokage..."
On the podium, Umino Iruka gave everyone a thorough introduction to the history of the ninja world.
"I think that's what we were told when we first entered school."
Yawning, Inuzuka Tsumugi pushed Kato Ying beside him and said.
"It seems so."
When asked, Kato Ying answered not very confidently.
“I think so too. It seems that the word has not changed much.”
Akimichi Choza nodded in agreement.
[That is indeed true. ]
As an excellent student, Minato was very sure that not a single word of the dialogue had been changed, but he was just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
I can only complain in my heart.
"I've heard my brother say this many times."
It is not only the parents who hold the same idea. The children of the big families have also heard about this history through family education at an early age.
Sasuke even complained out loud.
Only exchange students and civilian students heard of it for the first time.
"Hey Naruto, let's go eat some barbecue after the speech."
Ignoring Iruka Umino who was speaking above, Choji Akimichi handed Naruto a bag of potato chips while asking him in a low voice.
Taking the potato chips without hesitation, Naruto shook his head.
"No, my mother has prepared dinner at home, and I heard that a very distinguished guest will come to my house today."
"Really? That's a pity. Master Qufeng has released a new product."
"Oh, what a pity!"
Naruto felt helpless when he thought about going home and eating the mushy food his mother cooked.
[These little guys——]
The children didn't know how to keep their voices down, and soon, whispers began to spread among the audience.
This made Umino Iruka, who was giving a speech on the stage, speechless.
"In short, everyone will spend six years here."
After the Third Ninja World War, Konoha Village reformed the Ninja School learning system.
The original graduation system for outstanding students was changed to a 6-year system.
Early graduation is not permitted unless parents apply.
This change is made to enhance the overall quality of graduates.
It also prevents children from getting involved in mission disputes at a young age.
"Now, please welcome the hero of the Third Ninja World War, our respected Fourth Hokage!"
Giving the stage to Jiraiya, Umino Iruka began to applaud with all his might.
At the same time, he continued to explain:
"The Fourth Hokage was a hero who fought against the enemy single-handedly during the Third Ninja World War and successfully inflicted heavy damage on the local generals!"
people?
I am familiar with this matter.
Deidara and Kurotsuchi looked at each other.
This is very obvious, it is the Battle of Falling Rock Plains.
But according to the textbooks of the Iwagakure Village, the ones who stole the limelight in this battle should be the Third Hokage and a guy named Danzo Shimura.
"Iruka, please don't bring up these old things anymore, hahaha."
Laughing loudly, Jiraiya stood in front of the stage.
"Ah, old pervert."
Looking at Jiraiya who was wearing the Hokage robe, Naruto stretched out his finger and pointed at him without hesitation.
"Hey Naruto, you have to call me Yondaime-sama in this situation!"
Naruto's voice was loud and quickly attracted everyone's attention.
Being called a pervert in public, Jiraiya subconsciously retorted
"Ah, it's over."
This time, Watergate looked helpless.
[Naruto, Master Jiraiya is still my teacher after all...]
Seeing his son saying the nickname of the Fourth Hokage in public, even a man like Minato couldn't hold back.
"Ahem, everyone, I am the Fourth Hokage Jiraiya. Since you have joined the Ninja School, it means..."
Realizing that arguing with a child would do no good to his image, Jiraiya wisely chose to ignore the other party.
"We have spent a long time exploring the true meaning of peace."
"It was not until eight years ago, after countless blood and sacrifices, that we finally saw the dawn of peace."
"The establishment of the Shinobi Alliance has made the era of fighting for the right to entrust a thing of the past."
"But this is no reason for everyone to relax. As more and more Otsutsuki ruins are discovered, we are gradually getting a glimpse of the strength of these aliens."
"Studying in the Ninja School will allow you to master the most basic knowledge to become a ninja, so I hope everyone can study hard."
"Where the leaves dance, the fire burns. It is through the efforts of generations that we have the comfortable learning environment you have today."
“One day, one of you will be in the position I was in, telling your story to a new generation.”
"..."
Jiraiya's speech was very successful.
If we ignore Naruto and his gang.
After all, the exchange students were listening attentively.
