In Naruto, build the strongest Hidden Mist Village.

Chapter 110 Chojuro, Kimimaro

Inside the Mizukage Building, Kaguya Naoki hurriedly put Ao's report aside and opened the speech he had prepared long ago, the speech he was going to give at the Ninja Academy.

School starts in three days.

A look of anticipation involuntarily appeared on Kaguya Naoki's face.

The foundation for the future of Wuyin, the basis for its transformation, will officially begin to be laid in three days.

After all, at this moment, these children are like blank sheets of paper, undoubtedly in the best years of their lives to add ink and stamp their names.

They will be my most steadfast supporters in the future.

"Well."

"Naoki, it seems like there are a lot of children who are too young to join the school."

Mei Terumi frowned as she checked the ninja academy's application list.

"Surprisingly, there are even a few one-year-old children who have trouble walking, yet they want to enroll in the ninja academy."

Naoki Kaguya frowned deeply and shook his head.

"Then let's eliminate all children under the age of four."

Mei Terumi initially nodded in agreement, but after flipping through the roster, her expression immediately turned strange.

"Naoki, it doesn't seem like that will work."

"I think it should be two years or older."

"If we were to ask for children under four years old, we probably wouldn't even be able to fill a single class."

Naoki Kaguya stood up, leaned over to look at the list, and after carefully scanning the age column, sighed.

Unexpectedly, the number of ninja in Kirigakure has dwindled to such an extent that even children are so few.

The main reason is not hard to figure out.

A few years ago, Kirigakure was known as the Village of Blood Mist, and its marriage rate was extremely low.

Even in schools, there are very strict selection systems. Even if they get married, most of them dare not have children, for fear of failing the ninja academy's exams in vain.

After all, even a ninja cannot accept the helpless death of their own flesh and blood right before their eyes.

But why should I swallow this bitter pill?

Naoki Kaguya didn't sigh; instead, his spirits lifted even higher.

It seems we must take this first educational initiative very seriously.

Only by giving them a more perfect student life than before can we increase the desire of the village ninjas to have offspring.

Thinking this, Naoki Kaguya, feeling somewhat pressured, sighed deeply.

Just as I was about to look away, I saw two familiar names at the end of the list.

Chojuro, Kimimaro.

Well!
They're actually here?
Chojuro, the prodigy of the Hidden Mist, was formerly Kimimaro, the first bloodline of the Kaguya family.

If we can find Bai, who lives outside the village, then it will be another terrifying squad.
-
"Chōjūrō, this is a gift for you!"

"Open it and take a look."

Looking at his smiling mother, Chojuro looked at the iron box on the table with great confusion.

Am I remembering it wrong?
Today is neither his birthday nor his parents' birthday, so why are we giving him a gift?

Chojuro stepped forward and carefully opened the box, inside which lay a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

"Mom, what is this?"

Chojuro pointed to the contents of the box and asked cautiously.

"Something that allows you to see clearly."

After saying this with a smile, the mother noticed that Chojuro still looked puzzled. She immediately raised the glasses with her wrinkled hand, gestured, and put them on.

It's not suitable; it's a bit too big.

"This is?"

"What is this thing? Why do my eyes look different?"

Chojuro watched as everything changed.

It's even more beautiful now.

He laughed quickly.

With just a slight tilt of his head, the glasses seemed to slide down, but Chojuro didn't mind and remained quite pleased.

This is a gift from my mother, a gift that allowed me to see the world clearly!

"Chōjūrō".

The mother looked at the sliding glasses and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

If I had more money, I could buy a more suitable one.

But it's too late; school is about to start.

I'm going to become a damn ninja.

The mother's heart sank, and she stroked Chojuro's head.

"Chojuro, you wait here. Mother has something to discuss with Father."

Chojuro nodded obediently.

The mother got up, opened the door behind her, and looked at her husband lying on the sickbed with a very serious expression.

"You saw it too, how could he become a ninja?"

"How could someone with eyes that can't see the world clearly, and a shy personality developed from growing up in this poor family, become a ninja?"

"Stop talking."

The man on his sickbed was very resolute.

"You know how quickly he mastered the things I taught Chojuro in the past." "He's a genius, an absolute genius, a genius like Naoki-sama, born to be a ninja."

"very dangerous!"

The mother's tone was equally resolute.

"A kid like Chojuro will definitely be bullied or even killed by those people at school!"

You know our village's rules.

"no."

A flicker of fervor, tinged with sadness, shone in the man's eyes.

"With Naoki-sama here, things will definitely not be like they used to be."

"You need to understand, it was only because of Lord Naoki that I was able to save my life. He's not that kind of person!"

The mother shook her head again.

"so what?"

"You must remember, even if you live now, we still can't afford to buy Chojuro glasses."

"If you die, our lives will probably be even more difficult."

"Ninjas will only meet a tragic end."

Hearing this, and feeling his broken body, the man on the sickbed was deeply moved.

"No!"

"I trust Naoki-sama."

"madman!"

The mother was very puzzled.

The argument continued, and Chojuro listened silently without saying a word.

He has long been used to it.

I'm used to not being able to see the world clearly, used to being shorter than my peers, and used to envying parents who don't argue.

Because he was used to these things, he was unwilling to talk to others and wanted to keep his heart hidden deep inside.

Finally, a shy and lighthearted remark swept everything away.

Click!

The door opened.

Chojuro quickly adjusted his glasses and looked at his mother's eyes, which were filled with tears. He felt completely at a loss.

"Chōjūrō, you'll be going to school in a few days."

“I’ll take my father with me.”

"If you are bullied, be sure to tell your mother, and I will help you solve it."

"And that's it."

As his mother murmured, Chojuro couldn't help but become curious about that name.

What kind of place is a school?
Also, who is Naoki-sama?
He was a very shy child who never played with his friends, so naturally he didn't know about these things that were already circulating among the children of Kirigakure.
-
"Kimimaro, get ready to go to school!"

A member of the Kaguya clan rudely pushed open the door and spoke these words to the short figure inside the room.

Before the words were even finished, a figure suddenly appeared beside the Kaguya clansman.

“Any act of violence against young members of the tribe shall be punished!”

"You bastard!"

"This is Lord Naoki's order, and insulting one's own kind is an even greater crime."

"Alright, if it weren't for Naoki-sama."

"Stop writing it down!"

The Kaguya clansman lowered his head, trying to soften his tone.

"Come on, Kimimaro, let's go to school."

"Ah."

The white-haired, green-eyed Kimimaro nodded blankly.

Born into a prominent family, he honed his killing skills from a young age under the guidance of these elders, alongside his peers.

Until one day, his Corpse Bone Vein showed a different quality.

He became a genius.

Similarly, another person's name appeared in his life.

I am Naoki-sama's successor.

Kimimaro's eyes gradually revealed a fanatical adoration.

He may be young, but he's not stupid.

He could sense the changes that had taken place in his life over the past few months.

No longer a machine that only needs to hone his killing skills, Kimimaro now has time for himself.

Of course, the elders in the clan also gradually became more docile under Lord Naoki's orders.

I like this feeling.

Kimimaro grinned.

I heard from the adults that Hozuki, Minazuki, and Terumi always cause trouble for Naoki-sama?
and so!
Those who use Ice Release, Lava Release, and Water Transformation Technique are all targets I need to defeat.

of course.

I also want to be number one in the school!
Whoever dares to stand in our way, we must absolutely defeat them!
