Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Chapter 255 Ninja Academy Reform: Arranging for Naruto and Sasuke to Enroll

Seeing that Haneda had given his assurance, Kakashi was immediately relieved.

Regardless, Haneda kept his promise.

He then spoke of the important matters of Konoha:

"Haneda, why did you suddenly recall me? It seems like Kumogakure has received some information, and their attacks have become more frequent."

"The situation over there is very tense right now. If I leave..."

Haneda interrupted:

"Forget about the Hidden Clouds for now. I'll personally resolve this war in a while."

Do you know about the situation in Daming Prefecture?

"Daimyo Prefecture? You've made a move against the Daimyo?"

"Hmm." Haneda nodded and continued, "The daimyo secretly appointed one of your generals as the General Who Guards the North."

"He obeyed the daimyo's orders and secretly provided supplies to Kumogakure."

"I plan to gather enough evidence, then kill him and that daimyo, and replace them with a younger one."

Kakashi considered a possibility and advised, "Isn't this too blatant?"

“The daimyo of each country are related by marriage and blood. If you do this, they are very likely to unite and launch a war.”

"Konoha's current mid-to-low-level ninjas are insufficient to handle a war involving five major nations."

Haneda said, "I know that, so I was just testing their limits."

"Then defeat them head-on, negotiate, and at the same time establish domestic prestige while lowering the bottom line for other countries."

Kakashi said, "Alright, I know you should be confident enough to do this. I was just reminding you."

"By the way, are you planning to reform the Ninja Academy after you finish writing this book?"

"Of course, Minato-senpai planned to reform it when he was alive, but it was too short a time and he didn't succeed. I'm going to restart the plan."

As Minato's disciple, Kakashi naturally knew what Haneda meant by the reforms.

Haneda plans to divide the students of the Ninja Academy into two departments: academic and martial arts.

Liberal arts majors who pursue clerical jobs don't require much combat experience; they mostly learn things like medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques, which don't require much combat.

The combat profession is responsible for fighting, which is what the ninja academies teach today; in the simplest terms, it's about how to kill.

After being streamed, students study for three more years, then specialize further, which Haneda calls university.

There are too many specializations involved, and Kakashi doesn't fully understand them either.

He only knew that the shortest study period was seven years and the longest was twelve years.

Except for university, all tuition fees are waived, and university students can obtain interest-free loans.

When the topic of reforming the Ninja Academy came up, Kakashi couldn't help but think of Minato's son, Naruto.

Compared to himself, Haneda had a better relationship with Naruto, and Minato-sensei also assigned the responsibility of guardianship to Haneda.

He asked with concern:

"Naruto is almost four years old now, right? October 10th, he'll be nine now. We started school when we were four."

"Enroll in school?" Haneda looked at the setting sun and thought of many things.

He pondered for a while, thinking that it was a waste for Naruto and Sasuke to be reincarnations of Ashura and Indra.

Haneda said, "Let's ask Naruto's opinion when we get back. He should be with Sasuke right now."

When the topic of asking children for their opinions comes up, Kakashi can't help but think of his own father.

He was silent for a moment, then said:

"If that doesn't work, then help them with the things they need for enrollment."

"The future situation will be more volatile, so it's for his own good to learn some survival skills as soon as possible."

"After all, he is Minato's child and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

Haneda said, "I will protect him. Whether he wants to be a ninja or not, I will respect his choice."

"If there is any turmoil in the future, I will bear the consequences alone."

Haneda paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Like Minato-senpai, this is the mission of the Hokage."

Kakashi looked at Haneda's determined eyes and smiled, saying, "You're still the same as before."

…………

Haneda's private training ground.

Naruto and Sasuke slipped inside.

He took the Flying Thunder God Shuriken specially made by Haneda and threw it seriously toward the bullseye.

It hit the bullseye, as expected, but not the target.

Naruto excitedly pumped his fist, filled with anticipation and joy, and said to Sasuke:

"How about that? I'm pretty awesome, right?!"

"Ha~ You're such a complete idiot, it's all thanks to my good teaching."

As Sasuke spoke, he caught a glimpse of Naruto's disappointed face out of the corner of his eye, and immediately changed his tone.

"It's alright, although it's a bit lacking. But it will definitely improve rapidly under my guidance."

"Really? What a surprise!"

"Of course, I would never lie to you."

Just as Sasuke was about to teach Naruto one-on-one, Haneda appeared instantly, followed closely by Kakashi.

"Uncle Haneda, Uncle Kakashi."

Sasuke greeted them, secretly grumbling about Haneda and the other man's bad timing.

Noticing the resentful look in Sasuke's eyes, Haneda smiled and said:

"This time we're not here to steal Naruto from you, Sasuke."

"If you happen to be here, I'll just say it to your face. I think Brother Fugaku will bring it up tonight."

Just as Sasuke was about to speak, Naruto asked loudly out of curiosity:

"What is it, Uncle Haneda?"

Haneda said, "Regarding the Ninja Academy, since the start of the semester is coming soon, I'd like to ask if you want to enroll."

"What? Go to school? I'm not going."

Naruto turned his head away dismissively, rejecting Haneda with a firm stance.

He has finally found Sasuke as his best friend, along with Haku who takes care of him and the very funny Deidara.

He doesn't want to go to school!

At this moment, Sasuke asked curiously:

"When did Uncle Haneda enroll in school?"

"At the age of four, during the war..."

Before Haneda could finish speaking, Sasuke immediately declared, "I want to enroll!"

"Nissan started school at six and graduated at seven. I want to learn from Uncle Haneda and surpass him!"

Naruto asked in surprise, "Huh? Didn't Itachi start school at six? Why not wait another two years?"

"Never mind that." Sasuke didn't want to admit that he might not be as good as his brother, so he wanted to enroll early.

That way I can surpass Nissan's graduation age...

Seeing that Sasuke had agreed, Haneda had a pretty good idea of ​​whether Naruto would be willing to enroll.

He asked with a smile, "How about it, Naruto?"

"Let me think about it..." Naruto didn't actually want to enroll, but he had Sasuke on one side and Haku and the others on the other.

He was hesitant and couldn't make a decision.

Seeing that Naruto was still hesitating, Sasuke immediately said:

"A coward who doesn't even dare to go to school?"

Naruto instinctively retorted, "Why wouldn't I dare? You're my best friend, of course I'd be willing to go with you!"

"I hope so." Sasuke turned his head, a happy smile appearing on his lips.

He hummed a few times and asked curiously, "Will Kimimaro and the others go?"

Haneda said, "I've already made arrangements. I'm willing to go with everyone except Deidara."

"However, they are transfer students. Apart from Karin, they will graduate after a few more years of schooling."
