Two weeks later, the enrollment process officially began.
Yuzuru woke up early in the morning in the embrace of Hong and Guang. After gently kissing their foreheads, she prepared to get up and leave.
"Have a good rest."
"Um."
The two leaned against each other, their bodies still limp and weak.
Yuzuru has already arrived in the Land of Waves.
"Your Excellency."*3
"I've said it so many times, the president is now Mei Terumi, call me the Ministry of Education!"
Looking at the three Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist in front of him, Yuzuru corrected him again.
"Yes, Your Excellency." *3
Yuzuru:...
Forget it, there's no other way.
"Hehe, Mr. President, I really can't help it, I've gotten used to calling you that."
Ringo Ameyuri remained bold, putting her arm around Yuzuru's shoulder like a buddy.
Since recovering from her illness, this woman has completely let go.
"You should be more careful. Although you're better now, there's still a risk of getting sick again."
"Oh, I know."
Ameyuri shook her head impatiently.
Knowing her personality, Yuzuru didn't say anything more and reached out to let down the braids on both sides of her head.
"What kind of taste do you have? This braid is so ugly. I've already told you to either have a high ponytail, a long ponytail, or pigtails, or just let it fall naturally. You insisted on doing this ugly hairstyle. Learn from Kushina."
"Tch, Kushina- senpai said my hairstyle is quite unique!"
Yuzuru:...
I almost forgot, Kushina wasn't exactly a peaceful person either.
He really had a terrible mistake in letting those two meet.
"Behave yourself today, and maintain order. Although no one should provoke you, you still need to put on a show. Stop thinking about fighting all the time. Is it appropriate for a girl to be thinking about fighting all the time?"
Pressing down hard on Ameyuri's head, Yuzuru revealed a kind smile.
"Yes!"
The three men, armed with their signature weapons, began leading their troops to maintain order.
Soon, the enrollment period would begin.
The process began with children from village to village lining up, starting with Konoha, and those who met the age requirements entered the temporary examination hall one after another.
First, they pretend to examine you, asking for your name, family, and age, and then they check your so-called talents.
Almost everyone on the list was guaranteed admission, except for Rock Lee, who encountered an unexpected situation.
There's nothing I can do about this child. How should I put it? Well, he's a bit silly.
However, despite the difficulty, he still passed.
These simple-minded kids are the easiest to fool, especially after meeting Kai.
It always feels a bit strange that the master and apprentice aren't together.
"Children who are qualified can gather now. After paying the registration fee, please take your luggage and valuables. Mr. Lan will take you to the Sea Region Academy."
Soon, nearly thirty students gathered in front of Yuzuru.
Looking at the man wearing a silver mask in front of them, the children subconsciously felt a little nervous.
Although it was their first time meeting the legendary Mr. Lan, the fact that he could save the Lord Hokage, whom they considered invincible, filled these children with immense admiration.
"Alright, are you all ready? You'll be away from your parents for a while now. If you're reluctant to leave, you can still back out now."
Yuzuru looked at the faces in the original work. Although they were still very young, he had to admit that they greatly satisfied his collecting obsession.
He eventually managed to collect all Konoha 12 in a special way.
"Mr. Lan, these children are all very strong and independent, and their desire to learn is truly sincere. We in Konoha also look forward to deeper cooperation and exchange with the Sea Region Academy."
Shikaku Nara said to Yuzuru.
"There will be cooperation and exchanges, but they won't go too deep. The Sea Region Academy is just a place to spread knowledge and doesn't participate in any faction."
Yuzuru didn't believe a word he said; he knew very well what kind of people the Nara Clan.
The so-called desire to learn is utter nonsense; there's no such thing in the Shinobi World.
Yuzuru could guess what these kids were up to with a grain of salt: stealing, robbing, and using any means necessary. That's the quality of ninjas—a bunch of scum, with no sense of nobility whatsoever.
However, they underestimated the brainwashing power of the Academy.
It's true that this Academy teaches a lot of knowledge; nothing in this world is free, and some things can't be bought with money.
These children will spend several years in the Academy. What will they be like when they come out? It's really something to look forward to.
After seeing the children say goodbye to their parents, Yuzuru used her Dōjutsu for the first time as Lan. A spatial passage was torn open beside her, and through this spatial rift, she could see the technologically advanced Academy on the other side.
This was the Yomotsu Hirasaka Kaguya show off, costing him billions.
"Well then, welcome to the Sea Region Academy, everyone. This will be the beginning of a brand new life for you."
After saying that, he went inside first.
The chosen children entered the spatial passage one after another and arrived at the Sea Region Academy.
Seeing this, Shikaku Nara's opinion of Arashi rose even higher.
At the very least, this Mr. Lan possesses far too many abilities that they cannot comprehend.
"His eyes were glowing just now. Could that be the special ability brought by his so-called Tenseigan?"
Unfortunately, before he could say much, Yuzuru suddenly returned, bringing back two children.
"This is?"
" The Sea Region Academy does not accept children of this character."
Yuzuru tossed the two of them to Shikaku.
"I don't know who would be so cruel to two seven-year-old children, but they no longer have the right. The Academy only accepts children, not tools, especially tools brought into the Academy with some unknown purpose."
Upon hearing this, Shikaku immediately realized what was happening, and his expression turned grim as he looked at the two children.
" Danzo!"
"Mr. Lan, please don't be angry. We will give you a reasonable explanation for this matter."
"No explanation is needed, just take them away."
Yuzuru shook her head, then looked at the others.
"Take a break, we'll continue recruiting this afternoon; it's the other villages' turn."
Without paying much attention to Shikaku, Yuzuru returned to his tent without looking back.
Shikaku sighed and left with the two people he had nurtured at the Root.
He will go back and tell the Lord Hokage about this.
That idiot Danzo, knowing full well the enemy's terrifying strength, still dared to send people over. What was supposed to be a friendly recruitment drive was ruined Danzo these two rotten apples.
I just hope that Shikamaru and the others won't be affected in any way.
