"Miss Konan, if you keep staring like that, people are going to think you're a pervert who likes children..."
"Who!?"
Konan, who had been pondering the gymnastics movements in her mind, jumped at the sudden voice.
Turning her head, she saw a blond boy standing beside her, also watching the students on the field.
"You are..."
Konan had already recognized him as Uzumaki Naruto, the leader of Wave Country.
Though she had never seen him in person, every member of Akatsuki had long memorized his appearance.
Her question had merely been an instinctive reaction.
"You probably learned my identity long ago."
Naruto merely smiled and continued, "This is Wave Country School's first set of Radio Gymnastics."
Hearing Naruto's words, Konan swallowed the greeting she had been about to offer and asked instead, "Does this Radio Gymnastics have any purpose?"
"I can tell it exercises the body, but it doesn't seem particularly effective."
"Because this is a method of exercise designed for ordinary people. At present, most of the students in the school are civilians."
"People here could barely afford to eat in the past, and their physical condition was generally poor. That's why we use this method to gradually improve the students' fitness."
"Of course, adults can learn this set of Radio Gymnastics as well. Aside from strengthening the body, it can also relieve fatigue and relax the mind."
"But you are already an excellent ninja, so its effects naturally seem insignificant to you. Likewise, it does little for members of ninja clans who began training early on."
Naruto explained patiently. Konan was an exceptionally special talent.
Not only could she greatly improve Wave Country's printing efficiency, but she was also an extremely reliable source of munitions.
Konan's Exploding Tags, enough to pile up into an ocean, were deeply tempting
