The New Generation Enters School

Konoha

Autumn of the 57th year, Ninja Academy

During ninja recruitment season, the area outside the Ninja Academy is packed with people. Many children walk towards the Ninja Academy Daimon with a blank expression, and many of them turn back to look at their parents every few steps.

"Dad, Mom, is this the Ninja Academy?"

Naruto walked between Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki, his little hands held by his parents. Looking forward to entering school, Naruto curiously observed the scene.

A large crowd, including many adults, cast admiring glances toward Namikaze Minato.

"Yes, this is where your father first met your mother."

Namikaze Minato answered softly. As the Hokage's assistant, Namikaze Minato wasn't really suited to be here, but Naruto Kushina insisted that he come along, so Minato had no choice but to attend.

"Minato, was it back then that you started plotting against me?"

Uzumaki Kushina leaned down and whispered in Naruto's ear, her tone teasing:

"Naruto, don't be like your father."

Naruto looked blank, not quite understanding what his parents meant.

Looking at his wife and children, Namikaze Minato, even after many years of marriage, would still Minato and scratch the back of his head when these topics came up.

"Naruto, go! Remember, from now on you'll be the king of the Ninja Academy, so don't you dare tarnish my reputation!"

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Ninja Academy, the two released Naruto's hand. Kushina waved her hand at Naruto, pointing towards the Ninja Academy Daimon.

"Okay!"

Upon hearing Kushina's words, Naruto, as if injected with adrenaline, rushed towards the Ninja Academy. After bursting through the Daimon, Naruto couldn't help but turn around to look at his parents behind him.

Namikaze Minato Uzumaki Kushina, seeing Naruto's gaze, clenched their right fists and raised them to their chests, giving Naruto a thumbs-up as he looked back.

"Hey-hey!"

Encouraged by his parents, Naruto scratched the back of his head, a bright smile spreading across his face, and turned to run towards school with his friends.

Not far away, Uchiha Sasuke by Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Mikoto, and Uchiha Itachi, arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy.

Uchiha Fugaku was also a well-known figure in Konoha. Many villagers and ninjas who were sending their children to school looked at Fugaku with awe.

Uchiha Fugaku the highest-ranking officer in the Konoha Military Police Force, a department specializing in internal affairs. When they are not in trouble, the Military Police Force is a helpful and benevolent force; when they are in trouble, the Military Police Force becomes a notorious villain dedicated to punishing these criminals.

Uchiha Fugaku glanced around, his expression quite serious, and said softly:

"Sasuke, study hard at the Ninja Academy and don't disgrace the name of our Uchiha Clan."

Sasuke noticed the gazes around him and his admiration for his father's authority grew even stronger.

"Hi!"

Sasuke mimicked Fugaku's expression, his little face showing a very serious look as he answered emphatically.

Uchiha Mikoto smiled and patted Sasuke's head, gently giving him instructions in a soft voice.

"Sasuke, remember to listen to your teachers at the Ninja Academy."

"Okay, I got it!"

Sasuke, with a haughty expression, reached out and pushed Mikoto's hand away. The manly Sasuke didn't want to be touched like that.

After Sasuke brushed her hand away, Mikoto covered her mouth with her small hand and smiled. Sasuke's adorable dazedness made Mikoto feel affectionate. Fugaku, on the other hand, watched this scene indifferently.

Sasuke turned his gaze to his older brother Uchiha Itachi. Sasuke was very happy that Uchiha Itachi had taken time out of his busy schedule to accompany him to school.

Itachi smiled gently, his eyes tender, and reached out his right hand to tap Sasuke's forehead, whispering:

"Sasuke, you have to try your best."

"Hey-hey"

Sasuke covered his forehead, flashed a bright smile, turned and skipped towards the Ninja Academy, shouting as he ran:

"Brother, I will surpass you soon."

After running into the Ninja Academy Daimon, Uchiha Sasuke turned around and waved to Fugaku, Mikoto, and Itachi behind him before running into the school.

Hokage's son Uchiha Tensuke, led Shizune by the hand and slowly walked to the entrance of the Ninja Academy.

Tensuke looked at his peers outside the Ninja Academy; they were all accompanied by their parents. His own parents, however, were too busy every day to come with him for such an important occasion.

Fugaku, who was in the crowd, noticed Uchiha Tensuke and Shizune. He walked up to Shizune with his wife and son, patted Tensuke 'Tensuke head, and said in a deep voice:

"Tensuke, you must study hard now that you're in school."

"Wow, Tensuke, you've grown taller again!"

Uchiha Mikoto squatted down and pinched Tensuke's cheek.

"Uncle, Aunt Mikoto, Itachi."

Tensuke was teased by Fugaku and Mikoto, and a happy smile appeared on his little face.

"Tensuke, you mustn't let Sasuke outdo you!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at Tensuke and gently poked Tensuke's forehead.

"Hmph, I won't let Sasuke outdo me!"

Tensuke touched his forehead and gave a somewhat arrogant reply.

Tensuke and Sasuke were born a month apart and were rivals who compared everything.

"Lord Fugaku, Mikoto."

Shizune greeted Fugaku and his family of three softly, her gaze finally settling on Itachi. She then extended her right palm and gestured up and down.

"Itachi, you seem to have grown taller again?"

"Miss Shizune, ninjas grow very quickly. Perhaps I will be different tomorrow than I am today."

Itachi always acted like a little adult. Fugaku's way of raising Itachi was somewhat idealistic and ignored Itachi's psychological age, which resulted in Itachi having a cold and mature demeanor most of the time.

"Ahem, Tensuke, please go in quickly! The Lord Hokage and Lady Tsunade are very concerned about your enrollment."

Shizune was taken aback by Itachi's cold demeanor. She released her grip on Uchiha 'Tensuke hand, coughed twice, Uchiha Tensuke something to him.

"Oh!"

Tensuke responded and ran towards the school.

Hokage Building

In the Hokage Office, on Naraku's desk sits a crystal ball, through which Naraku observes the situation in front of the Ninja Academy.

"Didn't Tsunade say she would accompany Tensuke to school? How come..."

Naraku stared at the scene inside the crystal ball, somewhat puzzled.

As the Hokage of Konoha, it's not convenient for him to get involved in things like bringing children to school.

Furthermore, as the Hokage, one should be discreet and respectful of one's family, and not offer too much special treatment.

Just as the children of Konoha's ninja families were like, so too were Uchiha 'Tensuke.

As the son of the Hokage, he was exposed to Ninjutsu, knowledge, and education from a young age, which gave him a significant advantage over his peers.

Konoha Hospital

Dean's Office

Tsunade held the sleeping Uchiha Ryosuke her arms, her right hand holding a brush, writing something on a scroll.

"Strange, I keep feeling... like I've forgotten something today? What is it...?"

Tsunade, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she had forgotten something important today.

"Oh no! Today is my gambling day, how did I end up at Konoha Hospital!"

Tsunade finally remembered what she had forgotten today: she was so engrossed in writing the Medical Ninjutsu scroll that she had completely forgotten her important task.

After Tsunade got married, she rarely went to such occasions anymore, but in order to relax, she had a fixed amount of money and a fixed time each month to go out and have fun.
