Establishment of the Ninja Academy

Spring gave way to autumn.

It had already been a year since Renye arrived at the Senju Clan Compound.

Over the past year, Renye had maintained an extremely disciplined routine, training almost every day.

It could be said that he was either training or on his way to train.

Even Tobirama Senju had no choice but to praise Renye for his diligence.

Renye had taken quite a few detours in his training...

Tobirama Senju often watched Renye train, but he had never intended to guide him.

Nor would Renye ask Tobirama Senju whenever he encountered problems in his training.

Since Tobirama Senju would not say anything, Renye was not about to suck up to someone who gave him the cold shoulder.

The Uchiha had always been proud by nature, and Renye was no exception.

Whenever he truly ran into trouble, he would go to the orphanage and seek out the director.

The director had at least been a Jonin during the Warring States Period, so guiding Renye's training was child's play for him.

After a year of grueling training, Renye's strength had reached the level of a Genin.

A seven-year-old Genin would be considered a genius even within the Uchiha Clan.

Yet he did not become complacent. Instead, he trained even harder.

He knew full well that his current strength was nowhere near enough. To have the ability to protect himself in the Shinobi World, he needed to at least become a Jonin.

Ever since Renye had transmigrated, he would occasionally dream of being inside a laboratory.

Every time, he was unable to move his body and could not remember exactly what had happened.

He was deeply confused. Could this be his golden finger?

At first, he had wanted to explore the laboratory's secrets in his dreams.

But no matter what he tried, he could not move even a fraction, nor could he even speak.

As time went on, Renye had almost given up.

But lately, the dreams had become more and more frequent.

At first, they came once or twice a week. Then once or twice every half month. Now, they came once every two days.

This left Renye extremely troubled. What exactly does that dream mean?

A whole year had passed, yet he still had not figured out whether the dream was his golden finger.

He shook his head. Since he could not figure it out, he would let it be. Some things could not be forced; when the time was right, he would naturally find out...

With that thought, he began today's training.

Renye wore a set of black clothes, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Tobirama Senju had not been wrong. Drinking milk really did help with growth and development.

In one year, he had successfully grown from a four-foot-tall little brat into a roughly four-foot-three little brat.

He activated the mechanical device in the yard. It was a Shuriken Thrower, usually used for evasion training.

Renye stared intently at the Shuriken Thrower ahead of him, not daring to let down his guard in the slightest.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

As the thrower activated, a barrage of shuriken shot toward him at tremendous speed.

Renye reacted swiftly, his body as nimble as a cheetah. He sidestepped, twisted his waist, and leaped, his movements flowing together in one seamless motion.

His long black hair flew wildly, and the hem of his clothes fluttered in the wind. Every dodge was incomparably precise as sharp shuriken brushed past him.

As the training continued, the shuriken fired more frequently, their trajectories becoming increasingly complex.

Renye's breathing gradually became ragged, and bead-sized drops of sweat rolled continuously down his forehead.

His eyes and body were starting to fall behind the shuriken. His movements were no longer as smooth as before, and every dodge became extremely difficult.

He stumbled, nearly getting struck by a shuriken fired from an awkward angle.

Once the shuriken in the device had all been fired, Renye dropped onto the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.

"If I had awakened the Sharingan, this wouldn't be so difficult," Renye said with a sigh.

The most important condition for an Uchiha Clan Member to awaken the eyes was receiving intense stimulation.

If you can't find a book by its title, try searching for the author instead. It may have simply been renamed!

When the Uchiha Clan came to understand the true meaning of "love," then lost that love, their emotions would transform into even more powerful hatred.

Or when they faced an extreme crisis, such as a life-or-death situation, and experienced intense emotional fluctuations,

special Chakra would surge forth in their brains and react with their optic nerves, causing their eyes to change and allowing them to awaken the Sharingan.

This was also the main reason the Uchiha were known as the "Clan of Love."

Although Renye understood the principles behind awakening the eyes, actually putting them into practice was not so simple.

Experiencing intense emotional fluctuations was difficult.

If it were really that easy, every member of the Uchiha Clan would have a pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan by now.

They would have wiped out the Senju and unified the Shinobi World!

In truth, the probability of an Uchiha Clan Member awakening the eyes was very low. Most clan members might never awaken the Sharingan in their entire lives.

As for those who did awaken the Sharingan, evolving from One Tomoe to Three Tomoe required continuous battles and intense emotional stimulation, along with stronger Chakra and greater proficiency with their Dojutsu.

Renye sighed and said helplessly, "Who knows how long I'll have to wait before I can awaken the Sharingan..."

After finishing his morning training, Renye began preparing lunch for the day.

Recently, Tobirama Senju had been busy handling affairs and did not often return for lunch.

He did not know whether Tobirama Senju would return at noon, but he still made enough for two people.

"Looks like the Ninja Academy will be established before long."

Renye knew that Tobirama Senju had been busy preparing for the Ninja Academy during this period.

Some time ago, he had seen the proposal Tobirama Senju had left on the table.

It included the academy's planning and design, as well as detailed educational plans and course arrangements.

Tobirama Senju had personally selected a group of outstanding ninja as academy instructors, assigning them to teach ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

Tobirama Senju had already begun constructing the academy. Before long, the Ninja Academy would surely be born.

"School is such a pain."

Renye had spent more than a decade studying in his previous life. Just hearing the word school made him uncomfortable all over; it was practically psychological trauma.

Just then, Tobirama Senju entered the house looking exhausted.

He walked over to the table, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began eating heartily.

He had been busy with the Ninja Academy these past days and had barely even had time to eat. Fortunately, the matter had finally been dealt with.

He had already told Elder Brother to build the school. With Elder Brother's speed, it would surely be completed within two days.

Then the school could begin accepting students.

Konoha was currently made up almost entirely of clan ninja. Tobirama Senju's original purpose in establishing the school was to break down the barriers between clans and make ninja place the village, rather than their clans, at the center.

Furthermore, the Ninja Academy would not only cultivate a large number of basic Genin and Chunin for Konoha, but also give many civilian ninja with good talent and aptitude an opportunity.

It could be said that this was an undertaking with nothing but benefits.

It had to be said that Tobirama Senju possessed an exceptionally sharp political mind. He was a truly formidable statesman.

With the school about to be completed, Tobirama Senju was in an excellent mood. For once, he took the initiative to speak to Renye.

"Kid, the Ninja Academy starts in a few days. I've already enrolled you, so remember to go."

Clatter. The chopsticks fell to the floor.

Renye looked at Tobirama Senju in disbelief and cried out, "You enrolled me?!"

He had been thinking about not going to school, yet this Old Man had turned around and enrolled him!

Tobirama Senju nodded and said, "That's right. You're at the age for school now. How can you stay at home all day?"

Renye said, "Why, thank you so much!"

"You're welcome."

"..."

Tobirama Senju had done this because he wanted Renye to form bonds with other children his age at school.

That would make him easier to control.

After all, once he had bonds, he would not so easily do anything extreme.
