Chapter 181 Ninja Academy Opens as Scheduled
Chapter 181 Ninja Academy Opens as Scheduled
It has been 56 years since Konoha was founded, and Sasuke, Karin, Shiryu and others are already 6 years old.
In the courtyard of the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Water, spring was in full bloom, and a gentle breeze rustled the petals, creating a pink petal rain.
A group of six-year-old children were chasing and playing around the big pine tree in the courtyard.
Bai Qi and Sasuke each wielded a long wooden sword, mimicking their father's posture as they slashed at each other.
Xingchi, Kikyo, and Shion were playing an archery game on the side.
Only Zilong was practicing his boxing techniques intently in a corner of the courtyard.
Uchiha Sanfeng stood under the pavilion, watching the children's lively figures, his eyes full of smiles.
Over the past six years, the Land of Water has become increasingly stable under his rule, and the people's lives have become more and more prosperous, with the population increasing dramatically.
His family became increasingly lively, with eight princesses each fulfilling their duties and managing the Daming Prefecture in an orderly manner.
Now, the children have grown up healthy and are old enough to go to the ninja academy.
Tsunade walked over with a cup of hot tea, shaking her head helplessly: "These six little ones are getting more and more energetic. Yesterday, Bai Qi and Xing Chi almost broke the garden fence over a ball; Kikyo and Shion are quiet, but they can still pester me to tell them ninjutsu stories all afternoon; and Karin and Sasuke, needless to say, they fight every now and then."
Mei Terumi, supporting her slightly protruding belly, smiled gently: "That's right. I'm pregnant now, and I get tired after walking just a few steps. They still keep asking me, 'When is your little brother coming out?' Sometimes I really want to 'pack them up' and send them away for a few days of peace and quiet."
Sitting to the side, Kurenai Yuhi, holding her one-year-old daughter Mirai Uchiha, added with a smile, "Mirai is well-behaved, but her six older brothers and sisters are too noisy. Sometimes they even wake her up from her afternoon nap. Fortunately, Mitsumine is going to send them to the Ninja Academy, so I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
Queen Sara walked over, handed Kurenai a handkerchief, and said gently, "It's a good thing that the children are energetic; it means they're healthy. But going to the ninja academy is indeed suitable. They can systematically learn the basics of ninjutsu and make some peers. It's better than them just messing around at home."
Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Ami, Yuki Chie, and Uzumaki Megumi also gathered around, chatting about the children's funny stories, their voices full of anticipation for "the first day of school".
Over the past six years, they have been thoroughly "exhausted" by their six energetic children.
Now that the children have finally started school, they can finally have some time for themselves, whether it's studying ninjutsu, handling government affairs, or taking a good rest.
Uchiha Mitsumine chuckled and chimed in, "I've already spoken to the Ninja Academy, and I'll take them to register next week. Itachi is 12 years old now and can already stand on his own, so I feel at ease having him keep his younger siblings company."
When Itachi Uchiha was mentioned, everyone nodded.
In those six years, Itachi learned many ninjutsu and became incredibly skilled at using the three-tomoe Sharingan. Most elite Jonin were no match for him.
He usually takes care of his younger siblings, guiding them in practicing basic ninjutsu every day and teaching them to read and write. He is the most reliable "Itachi-nii" in the eyes of the children.
Listening to his wives' conversation, Uchiha Mitsunori also pondered a lot.
In the original story, Itachi Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 11, and he is now 12 years old.
Uchiha Mitsunori pondered how to come up with a reliable way to provoke Itachi and help him awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Looking at the baby girl in Kurenai's arms, Yukichi looked at her and asked with a smile, "By the way, Kurenai, you chose her name, right? It's a beautiful name, meaning hope."
Kurenai gently stroked her daughter's cheek and nodded, saying, "Yes, I hope she can live a peaceful and happy life in the future, without having to experience as many battles as we did. However, this child seems to have a great talent for genjutsu. Last time I practiced genjutsu, she was even able to wave her little hands along, and her eyes could even show faint chakra fluctuations."
Mei Terumi also said with a smile, "If my child is a boy, I'll have him learn Water Release from me; if it's a girl, she can learn Genjutsu from Kurenai, or Medical Ninjutsu from Tsunade-neechan, whatever is fine."
A week later, the Ninja Academy opened as scheduled.
Uchiha Mitsunori specially set aside his official duties to personally take the children to school for registration.
Because of the special identities of these children, the ninja academy set up a special class for them.
In this special class, besides the six children from the Uchiha Mitsunaga clan, there were eleven other children sitting in the classroom.
Naruto with blond hair, who always has a silly grin on his face;
Hinata Hyuga, dressed in Hyuga clan attire and possessing a shy personality;
Hozuki Suigetsu, who possesses characteristics of the Hozuki clan and always enjoys using water-based techniques;
Shino Aburame, covered in insects, sat quietly in the corner;
A puppy resting on its head, and the energetic Inuzuka fangs;
Choji Akimichi, who is slightly chubby and holding potato chips;
Nara Shikamaru, who has a clever look but always loves to slack off;
Yamanaka Ino, with her ponytail and cheerful personality;
Kurama Yakumo, sitting by the window with a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes;
There's also Chihiro Kazami and Sakura Haruno, who has pink hair and a determined look in her eyes.
Uchiha Mitsunori smiled and said to Itachi beside him, "Many of these children are from prestigious families and will become pillars of the ninja world in the future."
Uchiha Itachi nodded, his gaze falling on Kurama Yakumo, and said softly, "Father, Kurama Yakumo seems a bit special... I heard that she has been troubled by inner demons since childhood, and her genjutsu often goes out of control. Could it cause harm to my younger siblings?"
Following Itachi's gaze, Uchiha Mitsunori saw Kurama Murakumo giving instructions to his daughter not far away.
Kurama Yakumo's eyes were filled with unease, and his fingers were tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.
He pondered for a moment and said to Itachi, "You take your younger siblings into the classroom first. I'll go to the Kurama family tonight to see if I can help Kurama Yakumo resolve her inner demons."
The children quickly became acquainted in the classroom.
Sasuke walked up to Naruto, holding up a wooden kunai: "Hey, your name is Naruto, right? Want to have a match with me?"
Naruto immediately agreed excitedly, and the two began to "spar" in the open space at the back of the classroom;
Kikyo then walked over to Hinata Hyuga and gently offered her a cherry blossom: "My name is Kikyo, let's be friends?"
Hinata Hyuga blushed and nodded, whispering her name: "My name is Hinata Hyuga, nice to meet you!"
Bai Qi was entangled by Hozuki Suigetsu, discussing the principles of mutual restraint between Water Release and Fire Release;
Nara Shikamaru leaned back in his chair, watching the noisy crowd.
He sighed helplessly, "What a hassle," but was still drawn to the potato chips Choji offered and couldn't resist taking one.
Uchiha Mitsunori stood outside the window, watching the children getting along well, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
