Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

"Dad, the Hokage is calling you!"

Might Guy tugged hard at Might Guy's sleeve and whispered in surprise, "The Third Hokage knows you? Are you friends with the Third Hokage...?"

Matt Day then snapped out of his daze.

"Ah, yes!" He nodded subconsciously, but his cheeks flushed.

No father wants to lose face in front of his son.

But as a champion of youth, lying is something that makes him feel ashamed.

"Third Hokage..." Might Guy greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi somewhat awkwardly.

"Dai, you're here for your morning exercise too?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and asked, "How many laps did I take my son running today?"

When this topic was brought up, Matt Damon couldn't help but puff out his chest slightly, and a sense of confidence crept in:

"You've already run 300 laps around the village's inner ring! Seeing your youth and hard work, Kai and I are planning to add another 300!"

Sakumo Hatake, standing to the side, subtly shifted his gaze.

He also has a well-known quality in the village—the ability to see the potential in others.

"For a child this age, the calluses on their palms are already this thick?" Hatake Sakumo's gaze became more serious. "Their bone structure is also developing very well..."

If the intensity of running 600 laps is true, it is already quite impressive.

Asceticism is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it.

To reach this level of skill, unwavering willpower is only one aspect.

Their physical gifts are also absolutely extraordinary.

Kakashi, standing to the side, secretly rolled his eyes.

He knew about Matt Kay and Matt Day, the father-son duo, based on the powerful eye-catching appeal of youth performance art…

"This guy wants to get into the Ninja Academy, but he can't even use ninjutsu..." Kakashi suppressed the urge to make a sharp comment and muttered to himself, "Six hundred laps? What a load of bull!"

After all, the Hokage is here.

"What an excellent child!" Hiruzen Sarutobi praised Might Guy heartily, having a rough idea of ​​what he was like due to his daily morning training.

Matt Day was telling the truth.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's praise, Might Guy's eyes lit up immediately.

Aside from his father, this was the first time he had received affirmation from someone else…

It's even from Naruto!

"How's the child doing at the ninja academy?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked casually.

"We haven't even enrolled yet, Third Generation!" Might Guy's tone was slightly somber, but then brightened up again: "But we'll do our best! We'll definitely get in..."

Matt Kai raised his head and then lowered it again.

In front of others, he might even give a thumbs up and say, "Thanks for the support!"

But in Naruto...

"Didn't get in? Doesn't the Ninja Academy have a make-up exam?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Dai, tell me the whole story."

The first exam at the Ninja Academy was a comprehensive test of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

The make-up exam is for children with special talents in a particular area, and can be compared to the mechanism of "Special Jonin".

With Matt Kay's talent, if he were to be overlooked...

That means that the ninja academy's admissions staff, if not a major problem, are at least slacking off!

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, the air seemed to freeze...

Just moments ago it felt like a gentle breeze, but suddenly it turned chilly.

Matt Day hesitated for a moment.

The man's nose twitched unusually: "That day, I saw you, Third Hokage, sparring with Orochimaru, and heard your declaration to protect the village..."

"I'm so excited!"

"Kai did the same thing; we overdid it with extra practice, and as a result, we didn't get enough rest on the day of the makeup exam..."

"This is a mistake of youth; it's a failure to take cultivation seriously!"

"So Kai and I thought that if people disrespect the village's exam, we'd punish them by making them enroll a year later and double their training this year..."

A few crows flew overhead at just the right moment, cawing a few times.

The serious atmosphere vanished without a trace.

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost lost his composure.

The thought process of a ninja is too unique and diverse; I still need to adapt to it.

I initially thought there was a problem with the ninja academy…

"Dai, your intentions are good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly, "But a ninja's training is not just about hard work; it requires systematic educational resources and the ability to showcase one's talent at the right time."

"If Guy doesn't enter the Ninja Academy, then no one will evaluate him in a timely manner. In the future, the village will carry out targeted training for Ninja Academy students, and even those with the qualifications will miss out."

Might Guy felt a pang of sadness: "Hokage-sama..."

Why would I say such intimate things to a low-ranking ninja like him?

"I can see your heart is made of gold, Dai." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: "But sometimes, too much restraint is not good..."

"As Hokage, I often worry about one thing."

How can we ensure that children and everyone else have access to appropriate resources as much as possible?

"If a hard-working genius like Kai didn't get into the Ninja Academy, I would feel like I've failed him."

Matt Day was horrified: "Please don't say that!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with emotion, "The ninjas in the village are truly wonderful..."

"People like you and Kai feel guilty even if you have to take the exam twice."

"As Hokage, I'm afraid of leaving behind comrades who possess such a Will of Fire..."

"So Dai, remember, if you achieve something in your spiritual practice in the future, you should contact the village in time to coordinate. Even if you have some shortcomings, the village will find a suitable position for you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said this from the bottom of his heart.

He also remembered some things about Matt Day…

Aside from his youth, no one wanted to team up with him because of his shortcomings as a ninja in terms of teamwork and tactics…

Therefore, he could only do odd jobs such as carrying bags and finding cats, and was once called a "cat-finding expert".

"Let Kai go to school..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached into his pocket and asked Sakumo without changing his expression, "Did you bring any money?"

The Hokage rarely carries money when he goes out.

"I brought it, I brought it." Sakumo Hatake handed the wallet to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Luckily he brought it...

"I'll return it to you later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi counted out 100,000 ryo: "Genin Dai, the village has an important mission for you!"

Might Guy instinctively stood up straight: "Hokage-sama, please give the order!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi handed the stack of papers to Might Guy: "Make sure the village has adequate nutrition for the future. Physical training and rigorous training are part of it, but rest and nutrition are also essential..."

"If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"

Sakumo Hatake smiled silently.

He didn't want to ask the Hokage for the 100,000 taels...

It warms my heart...

"What, what should we do, Lord Third Hokage..."

Might Guy's tears streamed down his face as he wiped them away, waving his hands frantically, "There are so many people in the village who need help, I'm just a low-ranking ninja..."

"Dai, you're doing well."

Hiruzen Sarutobi patted him on the shoulder: "You're not the only ninja who needs help, and the village has already taken that into consideration."

"Those who have lost both parents, those who are talented but temporarily in dire straits, and elderly people living alone will all be included in the social security system, and the village will try its best to provide them with a safety net."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't just making empty promises.

He dared to say this because the administrative departments of Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had a very enthusiastic response to "Sacred Pill," which was a chakra health product developed by Orochimaru and others.

The Daimyo himself reacted the most, repeatedly inviting Hiruzen Sarutobi to the Land of Fire, but he also understood the recent situation of the various hidden villages in the ninja world.

I just hope this excellent deal can be finalized as soon as possible.

They were practically ready to personally pour the money into the Hokage's pocket.

Sakumo Hatake's eyes lit up.

He was naturally not part of this so-called security system, but he loved the human touch it brought.

This is the village... This is the Will of Fire!

"So, this money was just given to you in advance by the village."

"You can't expect me, the Hokage, to see a problem and then just keep dragging it out, can you?"

Matt Day accepted it with tears in his eyes.

"Minato, if you decide to learn this Lightning Release ninjutsu, then submit a report to the administration department."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Train hard, and I'll send you to the Ninja Academy to train the children."

"If there's a suitable candidate to learn this technique, you'll be in charge!"

Minato Namikaze readily agreed, "Hokage-sama, please leave it to me..."

Not only Sakumo Hatake, but he was also greatly encouraged by the Hokage's consideration for the future of the village.

I genuinely want to contribute.

"Want to learn?" Minato Namikaze and Might Guy said with a grin, "I noticed your gaze... Study hard at the Ninja Academy, and I'll come find you."

Matt Kai nodded vigorously.

At this time.

Might Guy suddenly knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage, please forgive Guy's previous narrow-mindedness!"

"I originally thought that 'asceticism' was a form of inner cultivation, and that talking about it to others was against the spirit of youth..."

"I never imagined that the Hokage had considered the village's needs so much..."

"If I continue down this path, I will never forgive myself. I implore you to guide me in the future so that I can make the greatest contribution to the village with my youth!"

Kakashi frowned.

What is a genin talking about?

And the next moment.

Might Guy roared, "Eight Gates Released!"

A surge of chakra erupted from his body, making Kakashi's face tingle.

A hint of joy flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Are there more experts?
