"I started recognizing characters at three, learned to refine Chakra at five, and could create Rasengan by hand at seven. This is my minimum requirement for the next generation."
Uchiha Gen'yō's voice echoed in the council hall of the castle tower.
Everyone thought they had misheard.
A seven-year-old making Rasengan by hand?
That was the signature technique of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze!
It's said that just mastering the Shape Transformation alone would take a genius ninja several years.
Now Lord Gen'yō says this is the minimum requirement?
" Lord Gen'yō, isn't this a bit...?" Uchiha Fugaku's lips twitched as he carefully chose his words.
"Some of what? Unrealistic?" Uchiha Gen'yō raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Fugaku quickly waved his hand. "It's just that, let alone seven years old, even the most outstanding geniuses in our Uchiha had only just learned the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique at the age of seven."
"That's why we need a school, Uncle Fugaku."
Uchiha Gen'yō walked to the desk and silently recited in his mind, "System, open the shop, education category."
[Ding! The Education category in the store is now open for you!]
[Host has met the prerequisites ( Mother and Child Sanctuary + Population Growth Rate), the following items are now unlocked]
[S-Level Educational Facility Blueprint: Amaterasu Academy ]
[Introduction: A super academy that integrates advanced educational concepts with the practical combat system of the Shinobi World. It contains three core modules: Chakra visualization teaching system, a mental space simulation training pod, and a bloodline resonance classroom.]
[Core Function 1: Chakra Visualization Teaching. The abstract flow of Chakra is presented as a holographic image, allowing students to visually see the trajectory of Chakra within their own bodies, greatly lowering the barrier to entry for Ninjutsu training!]
[Core Function Two: Mental Space Simulation Training Pod. Students can enter an accelerated mental space within the pod; one day of training is equivalent to seven days in the outside world, without placing any burden on the body!]
[Core Function Three: Bloodline Resonance Classroom. Designed specifically for students with Kekkei Genkai. The special magic circle within the classroom stimulates bloodline awakening and helps students master the use of their Kekkei Genkai more quickly.]
[Construction Requirements: 15,000 points of Clan Prosperity.]
A glint of light flashed in Uchiha Gen'yō's eyes.
One day's training is equivalent to seven days' worth of training.
Holographic visualization of Chakra movement trajectory.
Bloodline Awakening Stimulation Array.
What does it mean when these three things are put together?
This means that an average Uchiha child, after entering this academy, can reach the level that other ninja village geniuses take three to five years to achieve in just one year!
A true genius who enters this place can't even imagine where the limits are.
"Exchange."
[Ding, 15,000 Prosperity Points deducted. The blueprint for the Amaterasu Academy has been issued, and the building puppets have been automatically deployed.]
[Estimated construction time: 6 hours.]
Gen'yō nodded in satisfaction.
He turned to face all the senior executives in the hall and began to announce the disruptive education system he had designed for the school.
" Amaterasu Academy is divided into two departments."
"First, martial arts."
"The martial arts curriculum doesn't teach anything fancy; it only teaches three things: Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and practical combat."
"Uncle Fugaku will personally oversee the Taijutsu. I will extract the most scientific physical training program from my ancient texts, tailored to children of different ages. We'll start building the foundation from the age of three, ensuring that every child graduating from the academy will have physical abilities that far surpass any other ninja of their age."
" Ninjutsu, I will compile all the non-forbidden Ninjutsu of our Uchiha Clan into a standardized teaching material. Starting from the most basic Transformation Technique, Substitution Technique, and Clone Technique, to Fire Style: Great Fireball, to the basic use of the Sharingan, everything will be systematized and proceduralized."
"Itachi will be in charge of the actual combat."
Uchiha Gen'yō looked at the boy who had been standing silently in the corner.
Uchiha Itachi was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to be chosen to be in charge of such an important section.
"Although you are young, your practical experience and tactical thinking are unmatched in the entire family." Gen'yō's tone left no room for doubt.
"I need you to distill your understanding of combat and turn it into lessons that can be taught to the next generation. Let our children learn from a young age how to survive on the battlefield, instead of throwing a bunch of kids who've never even seen a kill into the battlefield as cannon fodder, like Konoha did."
Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly. "I understand, Lord Gen'yō."
Second, humanities.
These words immediately sparked a murmur in the hall.
Liberal arts? Do ninjas need to study academic subjects?
"Don't make that face." Uchiha Gen'yō glanced at the confused-looking members of his clan.
"You think all a ninja needs to do is fight? That's the lowest level of ninja."
"A truly powerful clan needs not only warriors who can kill on the battlefield, but also politicians who can manage cities, scientists who can develop new Ninjutsu, economists who can run a business empire, and medical-nin who can heal the wounded."
"Why is Konoha so strong? It's not just because it has the First Hokage, but also because it possesses the Senju Clan's architectural skills, the Nara Clan's strategic thinking, and the Yamanaka Clan's intelligence capabilities! If we Uchiha want to surpass Konoha, we can't just be a bunch of brutes who only know how to glare at others."
These words were like a wake-up call, causing everyone present to fall into deep thought.
Uchiha Inabi was the first to react, and she trembled with excitement.
He knew it all too well. As a clerical worker in charge of commerce and logistics within the clan, he was one of the least valued members of the Uchiha Clan in the past.
Under that old system that only worshipped force, people like him could only ever be marginal figures behind the scenes. But now, Lord Gen'yō himself has said that people like them are equally important, even indispensable!
"I will leave the specific course arrangements for humanities subjects to Akahoshi."
Uchiha Gen'yō turned to look at his spirited wife beside him.
"You received a formal elite education in Iwagakure and have an in-depth understanding of the political, economic, and military landscape of the major powers in the Shinobi World. You are the perfect person to design the humanities curriculum."
Akahoshi was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Gen'yō to entrust her with such an important task.
But then, a warm feeling of being trusted welled up inside him. A resolute glint flashed in those lava-red eyes. "Leave it to me."
Akahoshi answered decisively, "However, I have one condition."
"Explain."
"Liberal arts students must also master basic combat skills." Akahoshi crossed his arms, his tone icy. "I won't allow my students to be unable to even defend themselves. A politician who can't fight won't last three days in the Shinobi World."
Uchiha Gen'yō smiled, "That's why I married you."
Akahoshi's face instantly turned red. "Could you please not say things like that in formal settings!"
A burst of good-natured laughter filled the hall, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere.
Just then, a slight tremor came from the ground. It was the signal that the construction puppets had started work.
Uchiha Gen'yō walked to the window and looked down.
On the reserved educational land in the south of the city, five hundred construction puppets had already poured into the construction area like an iron torrent!
A massive foundation array emerged from the ground, golden patterns spreading in all directions! A magnificent academy complex, brimming with futuristic aesthetics and Uchiha style, was rising from the ground at a visible speed!
The main teaching building is octagonal, with a huge Gunbai family emblem carved on Kakuzu.
In the center of the teaching building, a towering tower pierces the sky; it is the core of the mental space simulation training pod. The top of the tower emits a faint blue light, like an ever-burning star.
"It's starting again!"
The Iwagakure Ninja in the distance were completely numb. They couldn't even be bothered to be surprised anymore.
Having spent so long by Uchiha Gen'yō's side, they had learned one lesson: never judge this man by common sense. Because in his presence, common sense had only two meanings: to be shattered.
Six hours later, the sun set.
Amaterasu Academy, a building with an area comparable to half of the Konoha Ninja Academy but with facilities at least one level more advanced than Konoha's, stands majestically to the south of the Uchiha Sacred Land!
Uchiha Gen'yō stood in front of the school gate. On the two heavy doors, he had personally branded two lines of large characters with Amaterasu Black Flames.
On the left is written: The Uchiha Flame, Everlasting.
The right side reads, "Under the Amaterasu, all are firewood for us."
"We're still missing two things."
Uchiha Gen'yō's gaze pierced through the afterglow of the setting sun and landed on two young figures cultivating in the distance.
A carefree teenager wearing goggles.
A young man with curly hair and gentle eyes.
Obito Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha.
"I need to create two Itama before the official start of the school year."
A meaningful smile curved at the corners of Gen'yō's lips.
"System, tell me, if I use both Bloodline Gift and the mental space training pod simultaneously, how long can it take for these two people to grow into Kage Level combatants?"
[Ding! Detection in progress...]
[ Obito Uchiha: His Kamui Dōjutsu has extremely high potential, but his physical attributes and Chakra reserves are severely lacking, which are his main bottlenecks. Under the conditions of Bloodline Gift and accelerated training, the shortest time expected to break through to Kage Level is seven days.]
[ Shisui Uchiha: His Kotoamatsukami Dōjutsu is nearing perfection. His physical attributes and combat awareness are both top-notch. His main bottleneck is the vision decline caused by overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan. With the Bloodline Gift and the accelerated training in the training pod, he expects to break through to Kage Level in at least three days.]
"Seven days and three days?"
A glint of satisfaction flashed in Uchiha Gen'yō's eyes.
"Then let's start tomorrow. I'll show the entire Shinobi World just what kind of monsters my Uchiha Academy can produce."
He turned around and instructed Itachi behind him, "Itachi, go and call Obito and Shisui over. Tell them that their clan leader is going to give them their first lesson. A lesson they'll never forget."
