"Rock, paper, scissors! ×3"
Yes, you weren't seeing things. To compete for the chance to be first to take down Kumogakure's ninja academy, the three little ones had ultimately settled the matter with rock-paper-scissors!
"Yeah! I won! Hahahaha!" The moment the result came out, Yota laughed happily.
Haku and Kimimaro, meanwhile, shook their heads with slight disappointment.
Watching this scene, Soji found it rather amusing.
The first one to go should, logically speaking, have the hardest job!
After all, there was a saying: the first time was unfamiliar, the second time came naturally.
Haku and Kimimaro, who went afterward, would definitely be able to use Yota's performance as a reference and figure out how they should respond next.
Although, with the strength of the three of them, taking down the other four great ninja academies would be a crushing advantage.
But if they had to fight one against many, it would not be so easy.
And if children fought by launching sneak attacks and disregarding fair play, Soji, as an adult, would not intervene either.
In short, taking down a ninja academy meant beating them until no one dared to accept the challenge anymore, or until they were all lying flat on the ground. Only then would it count as a success!
Since Yota had been decided as the first to go, Haku and Kimimaro also settled their order. Haku would go second and take down Iwagakure's ninja academy, while Kimimaro would go last and take down Sunagakure's.
As for the remaining Mist Ninja Academy, they would see when the time came.
After all, when it came purely to the caliber of genin and chunin, Kirigakure was absolutely the strongest among the Five Great Shinobi Villages!
Their academy's graduation rule was brutally simple: students had to kill the opponents assigned
