The Third Hokage was in the Hokage Tower's restroom, next to the Ninja Academy, making strange noises.
"Hehehe..."
"Hehehehe..."
Ahem, the correct answer is that the Third Hokage was squatting on the toilet, looking at a thin book.
As for the content, well, that's something that can't be said.
"Hehe, that Jiraiya really understands me. Research reports from Orochimaru? Can they compare to this?"
Shocking! The Third Hokage Actually Hiding in the Toilet to Read This Kind of Book!
"Teacher C's new photos are really daring..."
(I won't say which teacher, lest you search it up and become malnourished.)
"Not good! The Ninja Academy is on fire!"
Suddenly, a loud shout startled the Third Hokage, causing his hands to tremble and drop the little book, which he hadn't even read a few pages of, into the toilet.
"???"
The Third Hokage stared at his empty hands, completely stunned.
"What Ninja Academy?" He reached into the toilet, finding that it hadn't fallen too deep.
"Huh? What's on fire?"
"The Ninja Academy is on fire!"
The Third Hokage, who had just picked up the little book, trembled again.
This time, his luck wasn't as good as last time.
The book, full of mosaics in the eyes of children, fell directly into the bottomless pit.
"Plop... my Teacher C..." A mournful roar came from the restroom.
Not long after Nishinodera shouted about the fire, ANBU members arrived at the scene.
"What exactly happened? How could the school catch fire for no reason?" The Third Hokage arrived shortly after the ANBU.
"I only found out recently. The students told me when they were leaving. Fortunately, most of the students in the school have been evacuated," Nishinodera replied blankly.
The Third Hokage immediately asked anxiously, "Do you know what happened?"
Nishinodera reacted to the question.
He looked at the classroom engulfed in flames and gritted his teeth. "It's Uchiha Shin. That kid even said that he set the fire and that any trouble should come to him."
"???"
The Third Hokage and the ANBU all had a black question mark. JPG expression.
"But this is what Akimichi Heiji said. I don't know if it's true or not," Nishinodera added.
"Where does this familiar feeling come from?" The Third Hokage said that he seemed to have encountered this situation before.
"That's right, wasn't it him who said that the Senju young master liked men last time?"
Realizing this, the Third Hokage immediately ordered the ANBU, "Put out the fire! If it keeps burning, the whole school will be gone!"
The ANBU members who received the order disappeared on the spot.
They are now going to be guest-starring as Konoha firefighters.
"Headache, headache. Haru just reminded me yesterday to take fire prevention measures. How did the school catch fire today?
"Why is that child so good at causing trouble..."
The Third Hokage rubbed his temples, saying that his heart was very tired.
In the past month, from the anomaly in Rain Village, the collapse of Uchiha Commercial Street, to today's Ninja Academy fire.
He wondered why bad things happened one after another.
"Third Hokage, the fire has been extinguished." An ANBU member reported on one knee.
The Third Hokage had to put aside his worries and deal with the current situation first. "It's good that it's extinguished. Has the cause of the fire been found?"
"A large number of Fire Release Ninjutsu traces were left at the scene. According to visual inspection, at least ten Fire Release techniques were used to cause such a large fire."
"More than ten times? Haru, do you think a five-year-old child can have that much Chakra?" The Third Hokage asked himself.
"If it were someone else, I wouldn't be sure, but if that child really set the fire, I wouldn't be surprised at all." Haru's figure appeared beside him.
"Based on what?"
"From the existing information, it can be concluded that the child seems to have a naturally bad personality..."
"And a few weeks ago, the ANBU received information that the Uchiha Clan Head chased the child around the clan grounds all night..."
Haru summarized in a tone that still had no emotional fluctuations, "Perhaps he was dissatisfied because of this, so he took such retaliatory action."
"He burned down the school because he was wronged? What a child." The Third Hokage shook his head and smiled bitterly after hearing the analysis.
"Third Hokage, do you need me to bring this child over?"
"What are you going to do? It's just a child's outburst, and no students were injured. I'll just invite Clan Head Chiken to the office for tea one of these days."
In the Third Hokage's view, this was just a minor incident of a child lacking paternal love, setting a fire to vent his anger.
Looking at it that way, the palm that descended from the sky last time, obliterating the Uchiha Commercial Street, could also be explained?
If Shin knew that his carefully planned Plan B was actually being interpreted as childish mischief by some headache-inducing figure, who knows what he would be thinking.
"Pull a team from the Uchiha Commercial Street construction force to renovate the school..."
"Take this opportunity to thoroughly renovate the school. Also, notify the teachers to give the children a vacation this month."
"Yes!"
The Third Hokage properly handled the matter and left the Ninja Academy with its blackened outer walls.
He planned to go back and see if he could still salvage that little book.
At the Uchiha Clan Head's house, Mikoto was reporting today's events to Chiken and Aoko.
"That's how it is, Clan Head." After Mikoto finished speaking, she excused herself and left.
Why stay and wait for the Uchiha Clan Head, with his ashen face, to blow his top?
After Mikoto left, Chiken's fists clenched until they cracked.
Words probably couldn't describe his anger at this moment.
"Honey..."
"Aoko, don't even think about pleading for him. It's only been morning, and this kid is already causing trouble again!" The furious Chiken quickly interrupted her.
"No, I wasn't going to plead for him. I just heard Mikoto say that Shin seems to be getting along with the Hyuga Clan's little girl?"
Aoko's focus was clearly not on her youngest son setting fire to the school.
Chiken was utterly defeated by her: "The point isn't that little girl, it's the trouble that kid is causing!"
Aoko curled her lips, expressing her disdain: "Is that all? I thought he blew up the school. Wasn't that what he was singing about this morning?"
"That's right, what's up with that kid? He just set a fire and that's it?" Chiken reacted and began to wonder.
"Maybe it was too difficult? We can just ask Shin when he gets back."
Aoko's tolerance was clearly higher than Chiken's.
She indicated that compared to obliterating an entire street, these were just minor problems.
"What a headache! We can't even control this kid at school, what are we going to do?"
Accepting reality, Chiken decided that if the Third Hokage came looking for trouble, he would play dumb.
Fugaku returned from the training ground to find his parents looking worried: "Father, Mother, what happened?"
"It's Fugaku. It's nothing major, just that your younger brother set fire to the school."
Listening to Chiken say such a shocking thing in a calm tone, Fugaku couldn't help but marvel at the absurdity of the world.
Who could say something as big as setting fire to a school so calmly?
It could only be said that his family had become accustomed to the bizarre happenings lately.
If Konoha Village were to be blown up one day, his family would probably be able to face it with equanimity.
