Uchiha Akaishi Tour

The Jonin Conference in March has concluded, and a new team leader for the Jonin squad has been selected.

However, Lan Jun... and many Jonin from the Forest City were still dissatisfied.

Although Sarutobi emphasized that he wasn't sending them to the battlefield at such a young age, but rather that they wouldn't learn much at school, Mori no Machi was particularly concerned about this.

In addition...

Although Lan Jun knew that someone's "stepping stone" was just a convenient excuse and far from being a decisive factor, he still harbored considerable resentment. By the time the meeting ended, most of the others had already left...

"Lan Wu, he's not allowed to come to Senzhi Street anymore!" Lan Jun emphasized.

"Yes, Uncle Lan Jun, don't worry... From now on, he's not allowed to get close to you!" Lan Wu reassured him.

However, some people couldn't stand Lan Jun's temper.

"Lanwu, you're welcome to visit the Uchiha clan's territory anytime," Yang Yong said deliberately.

"I'm not going!" Lan Jun blurted out.

Yang Yong scoffed, "It's not like I'm welcoming you."

"Lan Wu isn't going either!" Lan Jun corrected.

"Don't be ungrateful. To save you, Akashi even sacrificed Madara Uchiha for Hashirama Senju. What more do you want?" Yang Yong argued.

Chi Shi was surprised to hear this—the Yang Yong clan elder could actually tell that?

Akaishi immediately realized that the Uchiha elders were not stupid, but simply "arrogant and emotional," not that they lacked judgment.

"You..." Lan Jun was speechless for a moment.

"So, you guys are really that concerned about graduating early?" Yang Yong asked suspiciously.

Within the Uchiha clan, Akaishi only told the clan head and Chiri's grandmother about the other half—that son-in-law. They didn't spread the word. The clan head only ordered that if any secrets of Root were discovered, they should be reported immediately and secretly compiled... This was something the Security Department had already been doing before!

Even when there's no clear indication of what's going on, Kensuke won't miss any opportunity to sow discord between Shimura and Danzo.

When Lan Jun heard Yang Yong's question, he realized that Yang Yong was completely unaware of the Root's dirty dealings—which made sense, because if they knew, they probably wouldn't be able to hold back and would soon spread the word!

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Lan Jun said disdainfully.

Realizing that even the Uchiha clan didn't know, but he did, Lan Jun calmed down a bit and didn't mention again the matter of forbidding Akashi from approaching the Forest Town.

"You..." Yang Yong and Lan Jun were about to argue again.

Lan Wu and Chi Shi quickly persuaded their respective clansmen to leave...

"If you ask me, we can't let that wooden Kakashi steal the spotlight... Orochimaru, didn't your son go to school for a year? I don't think there's much to learn at the Ninja Academy. You should apply for it and let them know how powerful the Uchiha are!" Koji Kyu brought up the matter again when he saw Orochimaru coming over.

:

"Obito hasn't reached the point where he 'can't learn anything at school' yet," Orochimaru calmly refused.

Although he was always with Kakashi and fought with other students who bullied Kakashi, Kakashi was the main force, while Obito's taijutsu skills only improved by leaps and bounds!

As for theoretical grades, chakra, ninjutsu, etc... I haven't reached the level to graduate yet, especially my theoretical grades.

"That's right, I heard that Obito's results at the Ninja Academy weren't very good." Akaishi then changed the subject, saying that we shouldn't compare everything with others.

but……

Orochimaru felt as if he had been struck by an arrow, and looked at Akaishi with icy eyes—Orochimaru still couldn't accept the fact that "his son was actually an idiot."

He'd rather be in poor health!

That could be modified...

But his theoretical scores were the problem—in Orochimaru's mind, no matter how stupid a person was, they shouldn't be unable to get even 90 points, right? How did he get 9 points?

"Your theoretical grades aren't good enough? You can try again... Once the war is over, they might not accept early graduation anymore." Yang Yong said, shaking his head regretfully.

Akaishi:……

Akaishi was speechless. What were these people saying? Was the continuation of the war giving them a chance to grind for early graduation achievements?

Lan Jun, standing to the side, had already given up on acknowledging these people...

Akaishi specifically reminded him, "The Hokage only said that those students who can no longer learn anything at the academy should graduate and go to better training grounds... So the academy can teach a little more!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Jun looked at another Jonin beside him—this was someone Akashi recognized, Aoyama, the executive principal of the Ninja Academy.

Upon hearing this, Qingyan shook his head and said, "It's not that easy... Since it's a school, the focus should naturally be on 'mass education.' A few geniuses can't learn much in school anyway. If we focus too much on them, the ordinary students won't learn much either, which goes against the original intention of the 'Ninja Academy.'"

"Then could we open a special rocket class?" Akaishi pressed.

"Rocket? Why should we teach fire jutsu specifically?" Lan Jun asked, his eyes wide.

Akaishi:……

"What I mean is, the arrow, the tip... top-tier small classes, specifically designed to teach more courses to geniuses," Akaishi explained.

Upon hearing this, Qingyan shook his head and said, "Of course the school has thought about it and tried it a long time ago... but without actual combat, it won't work. Ninjas aren't made by burying themselves in training. The original curriculum of the Ninja Academy was designed according to 'training before participating in actual combat,' so it's difficult to cram in more."

"Furthermore, to determine which direction is suitable for further cultivation, we need to test it in actual combat, and even require one method per person. It will be difficult to have the opportunity for collective education again."

The ninja academy had naturally considered this tactic of using a small "fast-track" class long ago, but...

Without real combat experience, not only is training difficult, but even if the specialization of a genius student is determined, there is not enough teaching staff. If one or two students are assigned to one teacher, it is no different from the "instructor captain mode" after graduation. Where can the ninja academy find so many experts?

In Konoha, ensuring that each three-person team has at least one elite Chunin as their instructor in their first year of graduation is already a tremendous effort!

:

Indeed, this effectively reduced the "early death" of ninjas.

Even among the great ninja villages, only Konoha can withstand such a drain on manpower. The other four great ninja villages are lucky if they can appoint ordinary Chunin as instructor captains—after all, if an instructor captain is appointed, he won't have much time to carry out missions throughout the year, which means the village has to support him for a year!

As for the number of ordinary Chunin in the school, they can only handle the "everyone gets the same" group teaching; they can't specialize in anything else...

Even if he were to encounter a genius like Minato, Aoyama wouldn't be able to teach him much—Minato and he were completely different types, and there wasn't much common knowledge between them.

It's not a problem for the Forest City to occasionally produce one or two experts, but the Ninja Academy doesn't have enough positions to support multiple Jonin. Relying solely on selfless dedication is not a long-term solution.

but……

Akashi's eyes lit up and he said, "How about we try setting up some research clubs? The instructors for the research clubs can be teachers from within the school, but we can often invite ninjas from outside the school to participate in the club's instruction activities... We can even apply for special training missions, but that would require approval from the Hokage Building."

"Wait a minute, putting aside the practical training missions for now, why should an off-campus ninja participate in club activities?" Lan Jun questioned directly.

Akaishi shrugged and said, "There are always Jonin who like to show off, but they just lack perseverance. Some people would go to a class or two even without pay. You can learn something in two classes, he can learn something in two classes, and besides..."

As Akaishi spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, and he leaned closer.

"Novel Website" Hand-typed Update

After Lan Jun and Qing Yan focused their attention, Chi Shi whispered, "With so many ninja children in your hands, you can't even find one to attend class? Tell me... after Obito enrolls, couldn't you ask Orochimaru to attend a couple of classes? If he doesn't go, aren't you afraid you'll make things difficult for Obito?"

Orochimaru: ...

"No, I'm still here, aren't I?" Orochimaru was no longer willing to speak.

"Nonsense!"

"nonsense!"

"When has our ninja academy ever done anything like this?"

Lan Jun and Qing Yan sternly reprimanded Chi Shi.

but……

But she couldn't help but look at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru: ...

"Heh heh, didn't Sarutobi Asuma enroll too? If you don't dare to approach the Third Hokage, why don't you approach Shinnosuke?" Orochimaru said decisively.

"Right, right, even if Shinnosuke can't do it, I remember that Mrs. Biwako is also a Jonin. You can go to the Third Hokage's house and say, 'Mrs. Biwako, you don't want to...'" Akaishi had a sudden inspiration.

"You should rest!" Lan Jun interrupted impatiently.

Although Akaishi's approach was flawed, his general framework still made sense.

:

It may seem like nothing has changed, but Akaishi's method actually has a major advantage—it doesn't require long-term occupation of Jonin resources. Even in peacetime, Hokagero wouldn't be willing to give up a few Jonin who would be permanently stationed at the school.

The entire Ninja Academy, apart from the principal who is always the Hokage, has only one Jonin position and two Special Jonin positions.

Akaishi's proposed "research club" is not bound by class hours, with only occasional club activities; and it does not take up large chunks of Jonin's time, especially not specifically for any particular Jonin, but only for one or two rest days, which many people are willing to attend.

This is just a comparison with traditional teaching methods, and of course, it's not without its flaws...

"However, without systematic teaching, whoever comes will just talk about what they want to talk about and what they are willing to teach. It will definitely be very fragmented and cannot be compared with a formal course..." Qingyan said with distress.

Lan Jun glanced at him, somewhat surprised—Qingyan had always been at the Ninja Academy, and was essentially the principal, since the Hokage didn't have time to manage the Ninja Academy's specific affairs… The fact that he was still so "confused" showed that he had indeed taken Akashi's advice to heart.

In response to Qingyan's doubts, Chishi simply waved his hand and said, "Scattered knowledge is better, so they can understand what they are truly suited for... If they can't absorb scattered knowledge, it proves they aren't geniuses at all. They should just graduate normally along with the other students!"

Upon hearing this, Qingyan suddenly realized—that's right, this was originally prepared for "geniuses".

Seeing that Akaishi's suggestion was quickly approved by the principal, Lan Wu couldn't help but show a look of emotion.

Seeing this, Lan Jun seemed to dislike Chi Shiyi and interrupted, "You graduated normally, right? Your grades were only average."

Akaishi:……

"Uncle Lan Jun, you can't say that. I'm just more suited to growing in real combat, not because I was held back by the ninja academy," Akaishi said sincerely.

Qingyan, who was standing to the side, was already looking at Lanjun with resentment.

Lan Jun: ? ? ?

Is that what I meant?

"Then the practical training task..." Qingyan asked further.

"It's just about getting approval from the Hokage's Office to allow the Ninja Academy to accept some missions under the name of the Research Club, so that talented students can practice on them," Akaishi said matter-of-factly.

"What's the difference between that and graduating?" Lan Jun asked, frowning.

"The difference is huge. Practical training is still training. Not only is the level of danger controllable, but... if it really doesn't work, we can abandon it and have the trainees complete it. If you really graduate, except for the first year when there will definitely be a supervising captain, even if you encounter any difficult missions after that, won't the genin have to bite the bullet and do it themselves?" Akaishi shook his head and said.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Akaishi and his friends complained that the Rank 1 was too easy and the Rank B wasn't challenging enough shortly after graduation...

If someone is just an ordinary genin, there is a certain degree of danger involved in carrying out a mission independently.

"By the way, if we're really going to start a research club, the instructor has to be responsible and competent. After all, the lecturers are all temporary, and he's the only one who's been with the gifted class all along. He'll also be the one to contact the lecturers and lead the practical training tasks," Akaishi reminded him.

"I know that. As for teaching talent, the school has no shortage of people." Qingyan became confident after hearing this.

However, as Qingyan spoke, he looked at Chishi with some regret...

Unfortunately, the Ninja Academy does not have a second Jonin position, and even if Aoyama were willing to step down and let Konoha Akaishi take over as a mere "executive principal," most people would think it would be a waste of his talent.

:

Akaishi did have the idea of ​​involving more Uchiha clan members in the school curriculum, and also welcome ninjas from the Forest City to join the security department—unfortunately, this was something Akaishi couldn't decide.

Not only do many members of the tribe oppose outsiders interfering in the security force, but also...

If we really let the Uchiha clan teach, who knows how much trouble they'll cause!

At the same time, there were no other ninjas around.

after all……

The Uchiha clan and the ninjas of the Forest City were together, and conflicts would break out from time to time. Under such circumstances, others did not want to get close!

At the same time, Tsunade was already showing signs of impatience.

In the past, she would have left long ago to "have some fun" without waiting for the rest of the clan, but now...

Tsunade was still waiting to ask why her third and fourth uncles had suddenly voted for Orochimaru.

Now it seems that Tsunade was right—it's related to Akaishi!

but……

Lan Jun's attitude was somewhat different from what Tsunade had imagined.

Tsunade had been spacing out during the meeting, wondering if Akaishi and Ranma were already engaged...

Tsunade, unable to wait any longer, interrupted, "Alright, all this is for the future. The reason for graduating early is because the war isn't over yet, not because we're afraid the genius students will run out of things to learn!"

Lan Jun, Qing Yan: ...
