Ch. 81Compulsory enrollment, each clan's calculations
In Konoha Year 14, Tobirama Senju ordered all registered clans to send eligible children to the Ninja Academy, with mission cuts and fines for noncompliance. The clans devised different ways to preserve their traditions and influence, while Toyotomi Yinglang treated the order as an opportunity to strengthen Toyotomi children through comparison.
- Tobirama Senju issued compulsory enrollment rules requiring clan children aged six to under twelve to attend the Ninja Academy and authorizing inspections of clan schools.
- Uchiha En rejected open resistance and planned to keep talented children in the clan while sending less favored children to school to gather intelligence.
- The Inuzuka clan head used bone lots to decide which children would stay home, attend two years, or complete all six years at school.
- Small clans planned to comply outwardly while continuing to teach their secret techniques and traditions outside school hours.
- Toyotomi Yinglang told Liuli to send every eligible child to school and use the experience to compare Academy lessons with Toyotomi instruction.
