Fujii, the jōnin teaching the class, had entered the classroom, yet Uchiha Shinsuke still had not appeared.

Did that make him shut himself away?

He was far too fragile.

His two lackeys had shown up, though. Sitting in the farthest corner, they tried to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible.

Hayato smiled at them, a kindly smile meant to tell them, Don't be afraid. In my eyes, you are nowhere near as important as bugs, so I won't hold it against you. Instead, the two of them trembled in terror, nearly bursting into tears with their heads in their hands.

Hayato shook his head with a laugh, then ignored them and focused on the lesson, diligently taking notes.

The Ninja Academy had been founded by Tobirama Senju, and its development had been somewhat rocky.

Its first class had contained only thirty-eight students, all of them from ninja clans. There had been no civilians.

More than ten years after its founding, the school buildings had been expanded for the first time.

It had taken nearly twenty years before the academy admitted female students for the first time.

By now, the campus had undergone two expansions, the student body had exceeded two hundred, and civilian students outnumbered those from ninja clans.

In theory, the Ninja Academy taught three areas of knowledge: fundamentals, practice, and combat.

In practice, it approached them from four angles: history, experience, training, and field practice. Actual teaching methods varied by instructor. In this class, for instance, Jōnin Fujii mainly recounted his experiences in the Second Shinobi World War. He seemed suspiciously fond of bragging, but there was no proof.

Ninja Academy instructors were generally chūnin or special jōnin. As the village's elite force, jōnin would not become teachers unless they had a personal interest in it
