The next day.
Today was the first day of school at the Ninja Academy. Tsunade had gotten up even earlier than Tokiju for once, all so she could see him off.
Tokiju was completely baffled. Knowing his big sister, there was no way she'd get up this early.
He seriously suspected she hadn't slept at all, just so she could catch him first thing in the morning.
The smug look on Tsunade's face was all the proof he needed!
Once she'd gotten him out of bed, Tsunade and Uzumaki Miku began stuffing all sorts of things into his schoolbag.
Wire, Kunai, Shuriken—every kind of ninja tool you could think of, Tsunade crammed it all inside.
It might have seemed ridiculous, but for a ninja, it was perfectly ordinary.
After all, the Ninja Academy was basically a place that taught people how to fight. It wasn't there to turn children into obedient little angels.
Uzumaki Miku hadn't been sure what to pack, so in the end, she'd put a stuffed toy inside.
Tokiju was a little speechless, but he didn't say anything. It was the thought that counted.
Seeing the helpless look on Tokiju's face, Uchiha Hikari came over and teased him. "See how much everyone loves you? Hehe!"
Tokiju rolled his eyes, then hurried forward to stop them. "All right, all right. Leave some room in my bag. I'll need space for my schoolbooks."

Looking at the schoolbag, which was already starting to bulge out of shape, Tokiju wanted to ask why they didn't use a Space Scroll.
But after thinking it over, he gave up. If he brought it up, Tsunade and the others might start stuffing strange things into
