Even though the Land of Grass was out of money.

The academy in the Land of Grass still opened as usual.

Today.

He had come here specifically.

Walking down the corridors of the academy, listening to the clear sounds of reading, Kusana felt a lot more relieved.

"The academy's curriculum follows the Leader's orders!" Uzumaki Yang Zheng, who had been appointed as the principal, said with a smile. "We adhere to the Spirit of Grass as our core, striving to cultivate ninjas of Kusagakure who are well-rounded in morality, intellect, physique, aesthetics, and labor."

"..."

It was quite gratifying for Kusana to hear about well-rounded ninjas from a traditional ninja of the Ninja World.

It seemed that Elder Yang Zheng had taken to heart everything he had said during their meetings, making his appointment as the Dean of the Land of Grass Hope Academy and the head of the Chakra Capacitor task force worthwhile.

He had not failed his expectations.

Unlike that fellow Mujie... who claimed to have copied his words and studied them daily, gaining countless insights.

In the end.

He was still the same old Mujie?!

Kusana sighed inwardly, then smiled at Uzumaki Yang Zheng and nodded, "Good!"

"This is also thanks to the Leader's support!" Uzumaki Yang Zheng wasn't overly excited upon hearing the Leader's approval.

Everything was arranged, and he just needed to follow the plan step by step.

The only thing to watch out for was... someone not taking their work seriously or being duplicitous.

Looking at the young Leader before him, Uzumaki Yang Zheng felt a surge of admiration.

The Leader possessed such broad-mindedness!

He had already been impressed by the Leader's magnanimity, comparable to a god of the Ninja World, when he saw him resolutely accept their Uzumaki Clan, disregarding the unwritten rules of the Ninja World.

But now, it seemed...

They had underestimated the Leader's magnanimity after all.

Founding a ninja academy was not unusual, as the Five Great Ninja Villages had all established their own. However... not a single Kage from any ninja village would put ninjutsu into textbooks for teachers to instruct children. Even Konoha, the strongest ninja village in the Ninja World, was the same.

Yet.

The Land of Grass Ninja Academy did!

The Leader's personally written textbooks were there!

Furthermore, they were categorized, with various ninjutsu classified and taught according to grade level, from easy to difficult, and from safe to dangerous.

Normally, ninja academies did not teach any ninjutsu, not even simple C-rank ninjutsu. They usually only taught basic skills.

As for ninjutsu... it was taught by one's own clan or personally passed down by a leading teacher after graduation if they were recognized.

If neither of those applied, one could only contribute to the village through missions and receive rewards from the village.

Because of this, some people... after graduation, knew no ninjutsu and could only rely on the taijutsu, kunai throwing, and Three Body Technique learned in the academy to fight.

Especially cannon fodder during wartime, they might die on the battlefield shortly after arriving without ever learning a single ninjutsu.

The Leader.

He possessed a magnanimity that far surpassed the First and Second Hokages.

At first, he had been puzzled why the Leader spent so much time on courses that were considered unimportant for ninjas in the academy.

Too much time was spent on those aspects.

As ninjas... diligent training and acquiring great power to protect the village was enough. After all, no ninja would betray their ninja village without reason.

That would be scorned by all ninjas!

However.

Until one day.

He raised his doubts, and then, he heard the Leader sigh, followed by a serious expression as he said, "The Land of Grass is not trying to cultivate tool ninjas, nor is it training a bunch of killing machines! It's about nurturing pillars of talent! When children are young, we must instill correct values, help them develop their own ideals, teach them to think for themselves when facing difficulties, to love their country, their families, and their ninja citizens, and to become excellent ninjas with ideals, morals, aspirations, and confidence!"

"We must enable every ninja to open their eyes and see the Ninja World, to understand it deeply, and to become new ninjas of Kusagakure."

At that moment.

He felt as if he saw light emanating from the Leader.

It was so dazzling, so captivating!

The Leader.

He truly cared about the children, unlike those village leaders who spoke of benevolence and righteousness but engaged in man-eating practices.

As if recalling something, Uzumaki Yang Zheng, who was accompanying the Leader on his inspection, looked at the warning slogans hanging on the academy walls.

[Let children open their eyes and see the Ninja World!]

[Cultivate ninjas who are well-rounded in morality, intellect, physique, aesthetics, and labor!]

This had now become his lifelong ideal, just as he had diligently researched chakra to repay the Land of Grass for its acceptance, to make the Land of Grass strong!

Meanwhile, on the side...

Upon seeing the two calligraphy pieces hanging on the wall, Kusana also paused, rubbing his eyes.

Who wrote this?

How come it's even more elaborate than my own approach?

At this moment.

He seemed to hear a familiar voice.

"Nagato! Whether you join now or not, you will join! I'm telling you, you're the vice-leader of the Akatsuki Organization I've chosen!"

"Uncover the truth, explore the mysteries! Don't you think that's cool?"

"That night was just an accident, just like how we couldn't guess that Dad was just making friends and not selling information. We also didn't know... that someone would actually impersonate the Ghost Student Who Draws Poop and draw poop at the festival!"

"Come on! Find the truth with me!"

"..."

Kusana's mouth twitched. He looked at Yahiko, who was still inviting, Nagato with a helpless expression, and Konan folding origami beside them...

This Yahiko guy hasn't given up yet!

What's so great about finding the Ghost Student Who Draws Poop!

"Heh heh! Has morning reading ended already?" Seemingly noticing the Leader's gaze, Uzumaki Yang Zheng also came to his senses, a slight smile on his aged face. "They're all such lovely children!"

"Yahiko is more active and curious, so he explores anything interesting he sees."

"Nagato, on the other hand, is calmer but always notices the finer details. He's currently studying Sealing Jutsu with the Uzumaki Clan and is a very talented child."

"And Konan is the only girl who has learned the Leader's secret technique. She's a genius when it comes to origami, and she's also optimistic and cheerful, a girl who loves to laugh."

After briefly introducing the three children, Uzumaki Yang Zheng's smile widened. "Yahiko has formed an organization called Akatsuki and plans to find that campus legend."

As soon as he finished speaking.

"It's still not enough homework!"

The Leader beside him suddenly uttered such a sentence, and Uzumaki Yang Zheng was stunned.

"???"

"Oh, it's nothing~" Kusana shook his head, a kind and approachable smile on his face. "How is the school's homework arrangement now?"

"As per the Leader's request, it's currently only for the lower-grade students." Although he didn't understand why the Leader was asking this, Uzumaki Yang Zheng reported earnestly, "Therefore, it's generally not much, and many students can complete it at school, without causing too much burden to the children."

"Not enough!"

"???" Uzumaki Yang Zheng fell silent for a moment, hesitating, "Then does the Leader mean... add some?"

"Then, according to Elder Yang Zheng's intention... add... some!"

"..."

Is this my intention?

"Then the funding..."

"Fight!!!"

Meanwhile.

Underground.

"Is it over?"

Hearing the sound of morning reading stop, Madara knew... morning reading had ended.

He yawned faintly and slowly closed his eyes. "I'm going to sleep."

With that, His breathing gradually calmed down, as if he had truly fallen asleep.
