Ninja Academy

Ye Lan thought for a long time but still couldn't find a good reason not to go.

He didn't know how to avoid attending the Ninja Academy, because once he went there, it would inevitably conflict with the task the system had given him.

But if he didn't go to the Ninja Academy, he had no way to explain himself to Kakashi for the time being. That left him feeling rather conflicted.

Then he thought of how the system had told him to take Kakashi as his master and successfully join Team 7.

As far as he knew, Team 7 consisted of Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto Uzumaki. If he joined Team 7 as well, wouldn't that make four students?

A ninja squad had always consisted of three students and one teacher. If he really joined them, how could things continue according to the plot? Wouldn't he disrupt the order of this Naruto World?

What if he and Sasuke didn't get along? Naruto Uzumaki would be easy enough to deal with, but what if Sakura fell for him?

At that thought, he immediately shook his head. "Seriously, what am I even thinking?"

Since he had transmigrated into this world, it meant that this world had laws of its own.

Besides, since this was a task arranged by the system, it was probably impossible for him to refuse it anytime soon.

Going to the Ninja Academy wasn't actually unacceptable, but what he feared most was that it would be full of little children.

They were usually only four or five years old. Could teenagers like him even have anything in common with them...

They would basically have nothing to talk about.

And he had thought it through.

After all, his arrival in this world had been destined by heaven. Although he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, he might have to stay here for a very long time.

Since he was already here, he might as well stay properly. For now, he had no other family or friends in his original world, nor did he have any other attachments. He had even arrived in the Naruto World he loved, so he might as well settle down here.

His coming to this world had been a mistake to begin with. He might as well keep making that mistake.

Who knew? Perhaps this Naruto World would change because of him.

At that thought, Ye Lan felt a surge of excitement for no reason at all.

As if he had seen through Ye Lan's thoughts, Kakashi glanced at him and said, "I know what you're thinking, but you don't need to worry. Once you get to the Ninja Academy, if you can handle the exams quickly, I'll have Iruka arrange an exam for you as soon as possible."

Ye Lan froze. Kakashi really was a Jonin. I can't believe he saw through my thoughts so easily and even said them out loud. He actually knew I didn't want to go to the Ninja Academy.

But since Kakashi had said so, he felt much more at ease.

If he went to the Ninja Academy to study and take the exams, it would probably be nothing more than Shadow Clones and throwing kunai. In any case, it wouldn't be too difficult.

That was basically no challenge for him. He could even learn the highest-level Fire Dragon Flame Bullet now, and with his copying ability, there was truly no Ninjutsu he couldn't learn. Taking the exam would be as easy as pie.

Ye Lan chuckled and looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi, no time to lose. Let's hurry to the Ninja Academy now. I still need to meet Iruka, learn Shadow Clone, and then take the exam as soon as possible. That way, I can join Team 7."
