"Oh? Ninja Academy training camp?"

Regarding the Ninja Academy exams, although the Third Hokage had taken the time to watch using Clairvoyance Jutsu, he hadn't paid close attention. Naturally, he was unaware of the conversation between Kurenai's Father and Kyoichi.

The next day.

He saw the letter Kurenai's Father had submitted. It was quite lengthy, detailing the finesse of the Three Body Techniques taught by Kyoichi's class. It even recounted his conversation with Kanda Kyoichi in meticulous detail.

Hiruzen Sarutobi read it very carefully.

After a long while, he took out his pipe, couldn't resist, and began to smoke.

Ninja Academy training camp!

Elite Jonin were busy, but compared to so many excellent students, a month for an elite Jonin was insignificant. It was perfectly fine to spare a month for teaching.

If this were implemented, the benefits would definitely outweigh the drawbacks.

However.

He hadn't expected this.

"Sir, are you giving this to me?"

"Shikaku, I was taught a lesson by a junior today. Take a look at this..."

The Third Hokage chuckled and handed the letter over.

The one entering was Shikaku Nara.

Ever since the Second Great Ninja War, Shikaku had gradually begun to serve as the Third Hokage's advisor. The Third Hokage discussed many matters with him, and this was no exception.

Shikaku took it and began to read carefully.

At first, he didn't pay much attention.

But.

Upon reading what Kurenai's Father had written, his expression gradually turned serious.

Extremely proficient Three Body Techniques!

Perhaps the Three Body Techniques weren't as powerful as other Ninjutsu, but on the battlefield, they could enable Genin to cooperate and survive. They were definitely a fundamental skill that every Genin must master.

Kyoichi had taught for a month, and his students' Three Body Techniques were all incredibly solid!

The effect was too strong.

Not only that.

Seeing a part reveals the whole. Their Three Body Techniques were so proficient and swift, which indicated their chakra control ability was also very strong. Overall, the quality of students taught by Kyoichi in one month was several times higher than in previous years.

These graduates could quickly adapt to ninja work and soon integrate into the Genin ranks.

Such a significant improvement in just one month.

Of course, it should be implemented!

Moreover.

Kyoichi not only knew how to teach himself, but he had also summarized how to teach and how to guide students to create a positive internal cycle – what Kanda Kyoichi called "the advanced leading the backward."

This was truly rare.

It could be said that everything Kyoichi mentioned were measures that could be popularized.

Thinking of this, Shikaku Nara couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, "Kanda Kyoichi is truly a rare genius. It's a shame to just let him be a Jonin."

"Mm, I've assigned him to lead a team."

The Third Hokage nodded gently.

Originally, a young, newly promoted Jonin like Kyoichi shouldn't have been assigned as a team leader. However, Kyoichi's talent for teaching was too exceptional, making it a waste to only have him as a Jonin.

Shikaku nodded, flipped the paper over and over a few more times, then stated decisively, "Sir, the Ninja Academy training camp will benefit future generations. It should be implemented! However, before that, I believe we should find a few Jonin and have Jonin Kyoichi explain his experience and insights in detail."

"Oh? Why?"

The Third Hokage was surprised, not expecting Shikaku to say that.

Just a training camp.

Kanda Kyoichi had already explained it very clearly. Did they still need him to teach in person?

It wasn't necessary!

"Lord Hokage, although it's clearly written, Jonin Kyoichi only mentioned these because he was only a Ninjutsu teacher. He might have constructive opinions in other areas as well?"

Shikaku clearly thought more deeply.

Kyoichi mentioning these didn't mean he only knew these things.

The Third Hokage remained silent for a long time, finally nodding and saying, "That makes sense. Let's select a few Jonin from the team leaders and discuss it together in the village."

"Yes!"

"Strange, I've taught Kurenai's Father so much, why isn't the system giving me any rewards? Did it crash?"

Kyoichi returned home.

By evening, he still hadn't received any rewards.

He was bewildered.

This went against the experience he had previously summarized.

Logically speaking, he should have received rewards by the afternoon.

He found it strange.

The next day, Kyoichi understood why: the Third Hokage had sent an Anbu ninja with a message, asking him to attend a Jonin-level meeting regarding "Ninja Academy Training Camp" and "Education."

Whoa!

No wonder.

His words had prompted the Third Hokage to immediately convene people to discuss and implement the matter further.

Therefore, the system judged that the class wasn't over yet!

Good things take time.

The longer the class, the higher the rewards.

Moreover, the students this time weren't children or Genin, but Jonin and even the Third Hokage himself. The quality was absolutely top-notch!

He immediately headed to the Hokage Building.

In the temporary conference room, Kyoichi entered and saw several familiar faces.

Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Shibi Aburame, and others.

The most conspicuous and eye-catching, naturally, was Minato Namikaze.

His golden hair shone brilliantly.

"Greetings, everyone!"

Kyoichi was a Jonin.

Below the Hokage, Jonin was theoretically the highest rank; other positions were merely differences in duties. Thus, Kyoichi didn't need to greet them as a subordinate.

However, he was indeed the youngest person present.

15 years old!

Yet, all the Jonin had to listen to him. The meeting couldn't start until Kanda Kyoichi arrived.

Shikaku Nara pointed to a seat.

Kyoichi sat down.

"Jonin Kyoichi has arrived. Please sit. I assume everyone knows why we've been summoned?"

Shikaku Nara's gaze swept across the room.

Kurenai's Father's statement had already been circulated, allowing everyone to read it.

"The Ninja Academy training camp is indeed an excellent proposal. A month of training for Jonin, even if they can't achieve results like Jonin Kyoichi every time, can significantly reduce the time required for subsequent training."

Inoichi Yamanaka spoke in support.

The Yamanaka Clan moved in tandem with the Nara Clan. Since Shikaku Nara was clearly siding with the Third Hokage this time and expressing his support, he didn't hesitate.

Shibi Aburame thought for a moment and said, "According to Jonin Kyoichi's idea, are you planning to broaden the Ninjutsu teaching to the entire D-rank Ninjutsu level during the training camp?"

"Yes. How much we teach will also depend on the students' progress. Ninjutsu is just bait to get them moving. In addition, taijutsu, shurikenjutsu, basic Genjutsu countermeasures, basic medical knowledge, and so on, I believe they can all be included in the training camp scope."

Kyoichi explained.

The advanced leading the less advanced.

With benefits, those with talent and from prominent clans would be willing to share their knowledge with others.

This placed a high demand on the Jonin.

Because clan children already had ninjas within their clans teaching them, to capture those children's interest, they had to demonstrate a higher level of skill than the clan ninjas.

Secondly, the ultimate goal of the training camp was to maximize the survival rate of graduates on the battlefield. Therefore, all fundamental content required on the battlefield should be included in the training camp curriculum.

Since everyone was a Jonin, no in-depth explanation was needed.

Shikaku Nara nodded slightly after listening and looked at everyone.

"I support the training camp."

Minato Namikaze stood up.

As he spoke, he also kindly nodded slightly towards Kanda Kyoichi.

"Then... I also agree."

Shikaku Nara raised his hand.

Shortly after, all the Jonin raised their hands in approval.
