"And Naruto, he used to love sitting on this swing," he said, his eyes filled with longing as he spoke of Naruto. "Whenever he failed a test or was in a bad mood, he would sit here alone, feeling dejected."
"It was really tough watching him back then, but I didn't know how to comfort him. Sometimes I'd just watch from afar, or treat him to ramen when he felt better. Naruto was so easy to coax back then, even though it always ended up costing me money."
"It's just a few bowls of ramen, what a stingy thing to do!" Naruto, who was going to train with Jiraiya, made a face and complained about Iruka-sensei, even sticking his tongue out at the person on the screen.
"Hahaha, Naruto-nii really loves ramen! I wonder if he still does." Come to think of it, it's been five years since Konohamaru last saw Naruto-nii. A hint of dejection crossed his face. When will he finally return?
"That's for sure, Naruto's a very loyal guy," he says, adding that he never gets tired of eating ramen every day and always wears the same outfit—an orange-yellow tracksuit.
[He's never changed, and I wonder how he's doing out there. Has he matured at all?]
[Konohamaru and Principal Iruka both really like Naruto! Waaaa, I miss Naruto too! When will he come back?]
[I know Konohamaru. It seems he was taken in by Naruto. Is Principal Iruka also close to him?]
[Iruka-sensei's class back then was the Konoha Nine, including Naruto] (Tenten and Neji were not in the same year, so they are not included)
[So most of the Konoha Top 13 were trained by him?] (Top 13, plus Sai)
The top 13 of Konoha were legendary figures to them.
Not only did they survive the ruthless battlefields of the Fourth Shinobi World War, but they were also a major force at the time, especially Nara Shikamaru, who took over command from Nara Shikaku.
Their reputation is no less than that of the three new ninja heroes of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
. . . . . .
Shikaku memorized the names "Konoha's Nine Young Masters" and "Konoha's Thirteen Strongest," guessing that they were probably Shikamaru's group of students.
I just don't know exactly which ones.
. . . . . .
[That's true, but if we're really talking about it, I guess the relationship between Jonin and their students is closer. Iruka-sensei's situation is a bit different from Naruto's.]
[A short film from the Fourth Shinobi World War. I remember Naruto saying in his flashback that he had always been alone, but when he was with Iruka-sensei, he felt that this is what it should be like to have a father.]
When Naruto saw this, his face turned bright red. Although he really thought so deep down, he felt quite embarrassed to say it out loud.
And so many people saw it.
Meanwhile, Iruka, hiding in the school office, was overcome with emotion, tears streaming down his face. He hadn't realized that Naruto regarded him as a father.
Even though he's not that old, I'm still so happy, sob sob sob...
(Minato Namikaze: That's great! Naruto has someone who cares about him now. Thank you, Iruka-sensei.)
Iruka's face turned bright red, and he hurriedly waved his hands, "No, no, no, Fourth Hokage..." He realized after speaking that the other person couldn't see him.
(Kushina Uzumaki: Really, thank you for caring about Naruto on our behalf.)
Naruto blushed even more at his parents' thanks, then grinned and chuckled like a mouse that had just stolen a fishy smell.
"When the school was being renovated, I couldn't bear to cut down this tree, so it was preserved," Iruka said, his face filled with nostalgia.
"After this year, the school will not undergo any major changes; otherwise, students won't see familiar sights when they return, and memories will fade away as those sights disappear."
"If possible, I want to preserve the students' memories as much as possible, because school is, after all, the happiest and most carefree time of their lives."
[So touching! Principal Iruka is so kind!]
[A spirit of great humanistic concern]
[Indeed, looking back now, I was really happy when I was in school; I didn't have to worry about anything.]
[Upstairs, you're overdoing the nostalgia filter! As a student, let me tell you, we're constantly worried about homework!]
[Waaaaah, there are still experiments! Ugh, I want to graduate already!]
[It's true, when I was in school I wanted to graduate, and after I started working I wanted to go back to school.]
Iruka changed the subject, "Let me show you around the elementary school section first," he said, leading the way. "There are three thousand two hundred and twelve students in the elementary school section."
Konohamaru nodded. "Yes, the Ninja Academy has 572 students."
"The regular academy, that is, the non-ninja academy, has 2,640 students." He had done his homework and remembered this perfectly.
Ninja Academy and Non-Ninja Academy?
Tobirama's pupils widened slightly. "So, the future Konoha Academy won't just be a place for ninjas to study?"
Ordinary people can also go to study there?
“More than three thousand people…” That’s probably the current population of Konoha Village. Shikaku looked up in surprise. The population is growing rapidly in the future.
It is indeed due to peace and economic development.
However, it is still surprising that a school has more than 3,000 students in its primary school section alone.
I had heard that there were only six people in the undergraduate program, so I thought there weren't actually that many people in the whole school.
So how big is this school exactly?
Yunyin Village.
Raikage A slammed his fist on the table. "Damn Konoha, their future is developing too well."
They were all envious, wanting to snatch all those things, or even just steal Kakashi Hatake.
Not only Kumogakure, but all the other major ninja villages also harbored envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Konoha.
The primary school alone has more than 3,000 students. Where the hell did all these students come from?
Could it be that in the future, all the young people from their ninja village will go to Konoha to study?
No, no, no, calm down, it's unlikely.
Some even suspect that Konoha might have unified the ninja world, which explains the large number of people, but considering the information above, this seems unlikely.
The future shown on the light screen clearly shows that there are still different ninja villages.
There is no hierarchical relationship between the five great ninja villages.
Otherwise, the ninja villages wouldn't be able to sit still.
They used their student ID cards to unlock a machine inside a large greenhouse on campus.
[Similar to a self-balancing scooter, but with a small steering wheel at the front for manual control. A card slot is located in the center of the steering wheel for recording and payment.]
"This is a campus mobility device, a product issued by the Konoha Research Institute. It can be used simply by inputting chakra, but that applies to people who possess chakra."
"The student cards for regular academies are different from those for ninja academies. The vehicles they use to move around have stored chakra; they can move freely as long as you input the operating commands."
"The school is too big. If we don't use a vehicle, we'll have to use chakra to get around, but that will mess up the security cameras," Konohamaru said with a helpless smile. Walking step by step at a normal pace is impossible; it would be exhausting.
"How convenient..." Uncle Ichiraku exclaimed first, his squinting eyes filled with longing. There was even a machine that stored chakra. In that case, even non-ninjas could use it.
If they used this to deliver ramen, their business would definitely take off even further.
What a pity... Could they even manufacture such a machine in their time?
"It's no use building it anyway. The roads in the future are so smooth. Right now, it's only been used in a small part of Konoha Village. If you want to go outside, the car can't move at all." The ninja eating ramen in the shop heard Uncle Ichiraku's mutterings.
He immediately poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying that machines need to be used in conjunction with appropriate conditions, such as a well-maintained and smooth road.
In the underground research lab of Konoha, Orochimaru saw something new and interesting, and was in an extremely good mood.
Although his research leans more towards biology than machines or physics, he still has a certain curiosity about these new things.
And the Akatsuki organization.
Scorpion, who had initially said the light screen was boring, suddenly became engrossed in watching it.
He was also manipulating the puppet to record what was on it.
"What's so interesting about this, Danda? There wasn't even an explosion," Deidara said, rubbing his bored face in his hands. "But the campus is so pretty, it would be really fun if it exploded."
"Eternity is art; what's so great about explosions?"
"Art is an explosion! Yeah!"
"eternal!"
"explode!"
"..."
[Konohamaru, Iruka, and Akuta, carrying a camera, rode comfortably towards the elementary school on their mobility scooter.]
[Great, I want to buy a car too!]
[It seems like it won't be available for sale until August this year.]
Is Konoha Academy currently a trial site?
[That should be true]
[Konoha School is really pitiful; they have to be guinea pigs. What if the machine isn't safe?]
[I'm happy to be a guinea pig. I really love this personal mobility scooter. I've been using it every day since the beginning of the year, and I'm getting more and more addicted to it.]
[Me too, the campus is freaking huge, you'd be exhausted without a car!]
I don't really feel anything.
[The person upstairs is definitely a ninja, for non-ninjas this is a huge question mark!]
"Alright, we've arrived at the elementary school," Principal Iruka said, entering the school directly by facial recognition without needing to show his student ID. He smiled at the camera and asked, "Would you like to see the Ninja Academy first, or the non-Ninja Academy?"
That gentle smile made him look more like a kind elder in a family than a school principal.
This friendly attitude sparked some discussion in the comments section.
"Many people want to see Ninja Academy, so let's go to Ninja Academy."
"The Ninja Academy has over 500 students, so they're divided into many different classes. This year, we'll be specifically expanding the class to include bloodline ninjas who joined this year," Iruka said, leading them to the honor roll.
The words "Huge Honor Roll" are very eye-catching, and below it are rows of high-definition headshots.
"The top five students in each year's final exams are honored on the honor roll, and the list of outstanding graduates is here," the camera panned, revealing Konohamaru's photo.
[It turns out that Konohamaru is a top student.]
[Otherwise, how could there be fakes?]
[Will Naruto and Sasuke be up there?]
[...The person upstairs is overthinking it.]
