What did this arrangement mean?
Was it simply the normal process, or was there some conspiracy behind it?
Hyuga Ningyuan trusted Biwako's integrity, but not Hiruzen Sarutobi's.
And because of his talent in Medical Ninjutsu, the two had already spoken and even given him a set of Swordsmanship manuals.
Clearly, Sarutobi Biwako's will had already been influenced by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
So now, even Biwako's integrity could no longer be trusted.
At the root of it, both of them were Sarutobis.
"Sure!" Ningyuan immediately nodded. "I'll do whatever my teacher says!"
"Mm!" Biwako nodded. "You don't need to read these books anymore. The Medical Ninjutsu classroom has them all, and the academy will arrange unified lessons when the time comes."
After saying that, Biwako added, "Even though I won't be by your side to supervise you from now on, you mustn't slack off. The more you learn now, the more likely you'll be to save another life in the future!"
"Mhm, I understand!" Ningyuan nodded.
Supervise?
Ningyuan's mind instantly cleared.
So, was it possible that Biwako was using a hands-off approach to make Ningyuan squander his own talent?
After all, if he kept memorizing books in Biwako's office, then even if he was never serious about it, he would still have to put on an act and memorize at least a little.
Over time, he might genuinely have a chance of becoming accomplished.
Especially since Ningyuan's foundation was already good.
But if he were placed in the Ninja Academy, without Biwako's supervision, then with a child's self-discipline, wasn't sleeping in class, skipping lessons, and not doing homework all perfectly normal?
And if Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately gave the teachers a few instructions and had them loosen their management of Ningyuan...
Wouldn't that produce a ninja-world version of a gifted child who wasted
