Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 4: The Essence of Seals!

Xuan Yi pretended to be a little smug under the tree.

Although that last sentence doesn't sound like something a five-year-old would say.

But in the Naruto world, even Itachi Uchiha, who was still in school, was praised for having the mindset of a Naruto!
Genichi Kishita believed that this was absolutely the Will of Fire.

Absolutely politically correct!
Unfortunately, such words only attract the attention of a few people.

For example, when the teacher, Futaki Ryusei, heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him sideways.

Becoming Hokage is the dream of most children, including himself when he was in school.

I still feel a little ashamed when I think about it now.

Becoming Hokage is not an easy job.

Genichi Shushita is an exception.

So, Futaki Ryusei couldn't help but nod and smile, "Well said! I believe that Genichi, you will definitely become an outstanding ninja who can protect the village, your family, and your comrades!"

Below, Kakashi sized up Genichi under the tree.

This seemingly ordinary classmate caught his attention.

Because what Genichi Kinoshita said was exactly the same as what his father had said.

Genichi Shushita, who had stepped down from the podium, also noticed Kakashi's gaze, went up to him, and nodded slightly with a smile.

Kakashi, wearing a mask, responded with his eyes.

This was their first interaction.

Back in his seat, Shizune couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why does Genichi like to eat dumplings, but not like to eat them?"

Xuan Yi replied softly from under the tree, "Jing Yin, you can just call me Xuan Yi. As for why..."

"Because my family sells meatballs."

Shizune was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Genichi under the tree meant.

But before she could think it through, the teacher on the podium had already called her name.

The first class was spent introducing themselves.

After class, Genichi Kinoshita, Asuma Sarutobi, Kakashi, and Obito Uchiha were called by the teacher and went with several other students to collect their textbooks.

Yes, ninja schools do have textbooks.

And there are quite a few.

For example, "Detailed Explanation of Hand Seals", "An Overview of Chakra", "An Introduction to Genjutsu", "A Brief History of the Ninja World", "Konoha and the Will of Fire", "Numerology", "An Introduction to Talismans"...

When ninjas have to learn math... Genichi Kinoshita flipped through the book and then thought it made perfect sense.

Looking at "An Overview of Chakra," it contains basic theories, including a discussion of the five basic attributes.

This shows that Naruto really doesn't learn anything in class.

Looking at "A Brief History of the Ninja World," it provides an introduction to various forces in the ninja world, as well as a not-so-detailed history of the ninja world.

Xuan, however, kept shaking his head inwardly.

Madara Uchiha probably suffered from his lack of education, otherwise he wouldn't have been so badly tricked by Black Zetsu.

After the books were distributed, the second class began.

This lesson is about chakra.

However, Futaki Ryusei did not immediately explain how to refine chakra. Instead, he started with the most basic concept of chakra, and also talked about the origin of chakra, mentioning the legendary Sage of Six Paths.

Genichi noticed that many students from ninja clans were doing their own thing, and only those who had not received preschool education were listening attentively.

Glancing at Shizune who was flipping through "A Brief History of the Ninja World," Genichi Kishita followed his teacher's lead and began taking notes in the book.

A genius's persona can't be built on just one Rasengan.

Genichi Kishita's strength, honed to the level of a genin, will gradually be unleashed over the next year.

The refinement and application of chakra, the Three Body Techniques, taijutsu, shuriken throwing, and actual combat... will all be gradually revealed.

Although Genichi's grandfather was a ninja, his parents are now ordinary people, so he can't unleash his full ninja skills all at once.

Of course, the strength of a genin is nothing special.

But for a child from a commoner family who has only been in school for a year, that's enough to be called genius. Genichi Shushita doesn't want to become a suddenly amazing prodigy and be suspected of being one.

Instead, one should strive to be a down-to-earth, meticulous genius who can withstand scrutiny under a magnifying glass.

the most important is.

Genichi Shushita felt that it was also very necessary for him to pay attention to the basic knowledge that he thought he had already mastered.

Because the more basic something is, the more important it is.

Just like the foundation of a house.

……

A class period passed by in the blink of an eye.

Genichi Shushita was very professional; he listened attentively to the lecture and filled his book with notes.

Shizune, standing to the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked, because Genichi's notes weren't just what the teacher had explained; they also included Genichi's own insights.

The latter, Xuan Yi, used parentheses, so Jing Yin noticed it immediately and couldn't help but ask, "Xuan Yi, have you already learned this content?"

Shushita Gen nodded and then shook his head: "My grandfather used to be a ninja, and I've seen some of his training notes."

This is the truth.

"However, the teacher's explanations are easier to understand."

This is half true and half false.

Upon hearing this, Jingyin couldn't help but praise, "Xuanyi, you're really amazing."

“My family also has notes left by my uncle, and Lady Tsunade taught me, but I feel that I understand them as thoroughly as you do.”

Tsunade!

Genichi's eyes lit up and he said, "Shizune, you're definitely being modest. Lady Tsunade is one of the Legendary Sannin."

Shizune said shyly, "Lady Tsunade is right. I'm not as smart as you, Genichi."

If you're going to praise me, then say more.

Genichi Shushita was quite pleased, and then generously said, "I'll go ask the teacher first. If the teacher approves, I'll show you the notes."

Shizune nodded quickly: "Thank you, Xuan Yi."

Genichi waved his hand, then got up and caught up with Ryusei Futaki to ask him if his understanding was correct.

Futaki Ryusei took the book, glanced at it, and quickly showed delight. He then nodded and said, "Genichi, very good! Your understanding is absolutely correct. Keep up the good work!"

"is teacher!"

Genichi Shushita was a model student.

Back in the classroom, Genichi showed his notes to Shizune, while he himself flipped through "Detailed Explanation of Hand Seals" amidst the noise.

Hand seals are an essential part of being a ninja.

What? You're saying the Sage of Six Paths doesn't need hand seals?
Sorry, Genichi Kinoshita does not consider the Sage of Six Paths to be a ninja.

Even Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju needed to form hand seals to perform ninjutsu.

Although Hashirama Senju often gets whatever he shoots.

Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was known as the Professor, needed to perform hand seals.

The most honest ones are Kisame and Zabuza.

But at the same time, Genichi Shushita knew even more.

The origin of the seal is Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths.

Therefore, even if it wasn't for the sake of the so-called genius persona, Genichi Shushita felt that he needed to study hand seals in depth.

He possessed the knowledge and experience of a genin, and his hand seals were just routine, neither fast nor slow.

This naturally requires continued training.

But more than that, Genichi Shushita felt he needed to delve deeper into the essence of the seal.
