Sweet Potatoes Grew in Their Own Vegetable Patch

In the Northern Lands, at the Ninja Academy.

"The final exam results are out, and our class is last in the grade again!"

On the podium, the homeroom teacher roared at the students below with a gloomy face, his fingers gripping the test paper turning slightly white.

The students present were all terrified, their faces pale, and they were ready to rush out of the classroom at any moment. They had witnessed the terrifying side of their homeroom teacher before.

They have all studied hard for this, but this class is the worst performing class in the whole grade, so it is really difficult to improve their grades in a short period of time.

However, just as the homeroom teacher was about to lose her temper, a piece of advice immediately came to mind: Pay attention to your emotions, don't get angry, don't get angry, life is like a play!

After some self-hypnosis, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he finally stabilized completely after taking several deep breaths.

Seeing this scene, the students felt a little relieved and pulled back the foot they had stepped out with.

"Now, the test papers will be distributed! Xiao He, 45 points! Zheng Shan, 33 points..."

Every time a name was called, a student would come up to the stage to receive their exam paper. After going around the class, only a few students passed.

"Ranmaru, 80 points! Chino, 75 points! Yukimaru, 86 points!"

The homeroom teacher's expression softened somewhat after reading out the names of the last three students, who were the only ones in the class to pass.

These three were personally brought back by Orochimaru, and their intelligence and talent are quite decent.

In particular, Chino, who had just enrolled, achieved good results right away, which was like a pleasant surprise as sweet potatoes grew in her own vegetable garden.

"Although you were still at the bottom of the grade in this exam as usual, there was some progress, especially Chino, who passed on her first attempt. Look at you guys..."

After handing out the test papers, the homeroom teacher gave another round of criticism. Seeing the teacher on the stage becoming more and more agitated, many students began to feel uneasy.

Just then, the bell rang, interrupting the homeroom teacher's long-winded speech.

That's all for today. Everyone, write me a summary of the exam!

After saying that, he ignored the students' complicated expressions, slammed the door, and walked out.

The students, seemingly still shaken by their narrow escape, began whispering among themselves.

"Jūgo- sensei is so scary! Luckily he didn't go berserk, or I would have been in big trouble today!"

Ranmaru patted his chest and said to Yukimaru beside him, "The two of them are sitting in the first row, so it won't be easy for them to escape."

That's right, Jūgo was also brought over by Orochimaru, and has been in the Northern Lands for a long time.

However, this guy seems to have bipolar disorder. He has a bad temper, and when he goes berserk, he becomes bloodthirsty, disobeys orders, and doesn't even spare his own people.

Such a personality is not suitable for a qualified ninja, so in order to help him better control his emotions, Orochimaru arranged for him to attend the Ninja Academy.

What place is more demanding of a person than school? More precisely, what job is more demanding of a person than being a homeroom teacher?

Today's situation is already considered good; when I first came here, I was so angry that I almost went crazy on the spot.

If Hozuki Mangetsu hadn't been in the principal's office and hadn't come in time to give him a sedative, things would probably have gotten even more chaotic.

After that, Jūgo started giving himself a sedative injection before coming to class, which helped him recover considerably.

Even so, it left a psychological scar on many of the nation's future generations. However, there were some benefits as well; their academic performance actually improved gradually.

"I think it's okay. I was a bit strict, but everyone did so badly on the test. I think I would have cried from anger!"

Chino had only recently enrolled, was quite reasonable. Having never witnessed Jūgo's outburst, she found him to be rather mild-mannered.

"I must say you're very lucky to have come at the right time. Before, Ranmaru and I..."

At this time, Jūgo also returned to his office. Considering his special circumstances, the school arranged a private office for him, which was next to the principal's office.

However, besides him, there was another workstation in the office where Bai's office was also located.

"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it after stopping the sedatives?"

Hearing Bai Wen's gentle voice, Jūgo's initially agitated heart gradually calmed down.

That's why they were put in the same office; Bai's gentle personality makes him the best mediator.

"Sigh... I'm being tortured like this every day. Now I feel like even if someone points their finger at me and yells at me, I can just ignore it."

Jūgo slumped in his seat, feeling utterly hopeless. After a year as a homeroom teacher, he felt much more at peace.

Although I only teach some lower-grade students, there's just as much work to be done as with the higher-grade students.

To better control one's emotions, one needs to get used to external stimuli and improve one's knowledge base.

The strong never pay attention to the cries of ants; they only find them noisy.

If a person has enough knowledge, no matter what others say, they will have enough strength to refute them, and naturally they will not get caught up in internal strife.

"Hehe... It looks like it won't be long before you'll be able to stand on your own."

Jūgo didn't take Bai's praise to heart.

Having spent so much time at school, I almost forgot I was a ninja. Although I have a lot of theoretical knowledge about ninjas, my experience in carrying out missions is limited to theoretical discussions.

Although this job was infuriating, it did bring him a lot of gains, and he even began to enjoy the noisy atmosphere of the school.

Before Orochimaru brought him here, the villagers feared and rejected him, forcing him to talk only to animals like birds and cats.

Thinking of this, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Look at what you've learned all these years! If you weren't my brother, I would have slapped you to death long ago..."

Just as Jūgo was enjoying this rare moment of leisure, Hozuki Mangetsu's angry shouts suddenly came from the principal's office next door.

This principal rarely loses his temper; who was so foolish as to run into his line of fire?

"A younger brother? The principal has a younger brother?"

With his hands behind his head, Jūgo looked at Shiro, who was scribbling beside him, with a puzzled expression.

"It is said that Lord Gold Kage found his younger brother and brought him back just these past two days..."

In the principal's office next door, Hozuki Suigetsu, who had been scolded like a grandson, stood ramrod straight, head bowed, not daring to utter a sound.

He was brought back by Orochimaru on the day he went to the Land of Water to set up an anchor point; fate is truly wondrous. Even if he wasn't kidnapped by Orochimaru at birth in this life, he still couldn't escape his grasp.

"I originally hoped you could live a normal life, but I never imagined you would end up on this path...!"

Hozuki Mangetsu both loved and felt a bit disappointed in his younger brother.

However, in an environment like Kirigakure, and being Hōzuki Clan, it was difficult to remain untainted. He simply didn't want his younger brother to also bear the stigma of Rogue Ninja.

"Even ninjas can't afford to eat, let alone ordinary people..."

"Alright, alright, since you're here, make the most of it. Go to school for a few years first, otherwise, if I'm the principal and you're illiterate, people will laugh their heads off!"

With a wave of his hand, Hozuki Mangetsu immediately laid out clear arrangements for Suigetsu, who had no choice but to obediently follow them.

With the principal's approval, Hozuki Suigetsu became a student at the Ninja Academy the very next day and was even placed in an elite class like Fūshin Shion.

In the future, all members of the Team Hawk, except for Uchiha Sasuke, will be recruited by Orochimaru, and at this time, there is also progress on Uchiha Sasuke's side...
