Konoha Ninja Academy Opens (Seeking Follow-up Reads!)

Konoha, Year 31, April.

The entrance to the Ninja Academy was a sea of people. Most were parents accompanying their children, while a few children came alone...

Today was the opening day of the Ninja Academy. The offspring of Konoha's renowned clans and children with ninja potential would be sent to the Ninja Academy for six years of study...

The gates of the Ninja Academy opened. Parents nodded slightly to their children, signaling they could enter.

Soon, the incoming students walked into the Ninja Academy. According to the ninja academy teachers, before officially entering their classes, these freshmen needed to attend an opening ceremony.

The so-called opening ceremony was nothing more than standing on the Ninja Academy's playground, lining up in order of height, and then listening to the Third Hokage, wearing his Ceremonial Robes, give a speech about the 'Will of Fire'...

The title of 'Kage' represents the highest honor in the village. The Third Hokage's willingness to personally lecture these freshmen on the 'Will of Fire' was enough to excite and thrill these little guys. Their immature hearts could easily be instilled with the 'Will of Fire' by Hiruzen Sarutobi...

This was also the reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi held such an 'opening ceremony' at the beginning of each Ninja Academy term.

A full two hours of 'Will of Fire' speech finally came to an end, but Hiruzen Sarutobi still looked like he was enjoying it. If time wasn't limited, it was estimated that he could talk for half a day...

After the speech, the freshmen were taken away by the Ninja Academy teachers under Hiruzen Sarutobi's benevolent gaze, and then seated according to the pre-assigned classes.

A Byakugan-eyed boy with blue and white hair, wearing a kimono, was sitting quietly in the back of the classroom by the window. His gaze through the window had a gentle and refined temperament, causing the girls around him to involuntarily look towards him...

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, the teaching instructor, who had already walked onto the podium at some point, coughed, attracting the attention of the students in the class, and then began to introduce himself to the students.

"I am Ootani Yuuto, a Chuunin. From today onwards, I will be the homeroom teacher for you forty-odd students for the next six years..."

The plain-looking middle-aged man named Ootani Yuuto opened his mouth with a smile: "My hobbies are reading and soaking in hot springs, and my dream is to teach outstanding students..."

"...Then, let's start with the first student in the first row on the left to introduce themselves..."

Afterwards, Ootani Yuuto signaled the students to introduce themselves one by one.

"I am Kitamura Yuusuke, I don't have any hobbies for the time being, but my dream is to become a great ninja like the Hokage!"

The pale-faced student shouted loudly in a low voice, as if only in this way could he express his determination.

"What a wonderful dream!"

Ootani Yuuto took a deep look at the student named Kitamura Yuusuke, gave him a word of encouragement, and then signaled him to sit down and let the student next to him continue to introduce himself...

In fact, Ootani Yuuto, the homeroom teacher, had already thoroughly understood the information of all the students in the room before the start of school. For Kitamura Yuusuke, a frail orphan, becoming a Chuunin in the future was already his limit. Of course, Ootani Yuuto wouldn't tell him these words so bluntly...

Next, the students in the class began to introduce themselves one by one, and soon it was the turn of the last three.

"Hello everyone, I am Hanakei Kaede. I like planting flowers and taking walks. My dream is to become an excellent female ninja..."

Hanakei Kaede was a shy and cute little girl. When she smiled, a pair of dimples would appear on her face. Coupled with her pair of small tiger teeth, she immediately captured the hearts of many male classmates, including Ootani Yuuto, the homeroom teacher.

As the students' warm applause subsided, Hanakei Kaede sat down quietly, and the student next to her immediately stood up and began to introduce herself.

"I am Uchiha Akari. What I like is challenging the strong and hearty battles. What I hate are cowards and people with weak strength. As for dreams and interests, it's to defeat him!"

Uchiha Akari stroked the hair hanging down from her ear while looking provocatively at the Byakugan boy by the window. Her black pupils were full of a desire for battle, and she didn't look like a six-year-old girl at all, but rather like a juvenile female Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Hey! This is going to be a good show..."

As Uchiha Akari's voice fell, some children from ninja clans immediately had this gloating thought in their hearts.

The Uchiha and Hyuga, as the two major clans of Konoha, both wanted to become the number one clan in Konoha, so the members of the two families were competing with each other, whether openly or secretly. It was obvious that this default action would continue in the Ninja Academy...

The Byakugan boy just raised his head and glanced at the Uchiha girl, ignoring her.

Seeing this, Uchiha Akari was very dissatisfied with the Byakugan boy's reaction, snorted heavily, and then turned her head and sat down.

"Cough cough..., classmate Akari has finished introducing herself, so it's classmate Yuzuru's turn."

Ootani Yuuto coughed again, and then spoke to the boy next to Uchiha Akari.

The boy named Hyuga Yuzuru stood up very naturally after hearing this.

"I am Hyuga Yuzuru. I don't have anything I particularly like or dislike. As for dreams, I haven't thought about them yet. I'll tell you when I think of something..."

Hyuga Yuzuru's calm words undoubtedly surprised the students in the room. He had just been provoked by Uchiha Akari, but he didn't seem angry at all.

After finishing his introduction, Yuzuru ignored the reactions of the homeroom teacher and the students, and sat down directly. His pair of pure white eyes looked out the window again, giving people a feeling of aloofness and arrogance. This temperament attracted the attention of most of the girls in the class. Of course, except for Uchiha Akari...

"Yuzuru-kun's temperament is really fascinating..."

"I really want to sit next to Yuzuru-kun..., but Akari-san wouldn't agree..."

"Kaede-san's position is also very good, although there is Akari-san between her and Yuzuru-kun..."

"..."

Ootani Yuuto secretly glanced at Hyuga Yuzuru and Uchiha Akari. Seeing the two major clan children sitting so close to each other, he felt a little helpless in his heart, and a heavy pressure fell on his shoulders. He was just an ordinary Chuunin in the village with teaching qualifications, and it would be difficult for him to suppress these two little guys in the future!

But no matter what, he still had to teach them to the best of his ability...

Ootani Yuuto thought to himself.
