Naruto: Reshaping the Shinobi World with Sasori

Chapter 189 The Flowers of the Future

This "Little Genius Vanguard Association" was actually a project initiated by Yubi to replenish the current troop strength of Sunagakure.

The goal is to gather the best children from the entire Wind Kingdom.

This also includes homeless children and war orphans.

Although the Land of Wind was not greatly affected by the war during this Ninja World War, given the generally poor living standards in the Ninja World, many children are still living in poverty or being fostered by other families.

This project can, firstly, help Sunagakure Village select promising talents and expand its future grassroots military force.

Secondly, it allows orphanages, primary schools, and other institutions to have more students enrolled in advance.

A ninja academy is a ninja academy—an elementary school is an elementary school.

Not every child is suited to be a ninja. Sunagakure will do its best to train them, but those who are not suitable to be ninjas will be transferred to elementary school to learn knowledge and skills in other areas.

Although the campuses are not yet completed, the future education plan and system of Sunagakure have already been arranged.

Yubi transplanted the education system from his previous life into Sunagakure—because of the unique ecology and environment of the ninja world, nine years of compulsory education was compressed into five years, elementary school basic education was two years, and the middle school from his previous life was changed to three years. This middle school can be regarded as specialized education.

In addition, the university is also a two-year program, which also includes adult education.

A child typically starts school at age five and graduates around age twelve or thirteen.

In other words, even children who are not qualified to become ninjas can become successful after learning some basic ninja techniques.

Of course, the operation and results of a mature education system require a long period of time to accumulate gradually.

Yubi has only enriched the village's education system and rules so far. If we really want Sunagakure to be full of talented people, we will have to wait until the first few batches of students have fully grown up and can give back to the village's education system.

To put it bluntly, this is a long-term project.

Soon, Yubi arrived at a venue that had been temporarily used as a competition venue.

Many buildings in Sunagakure are currently under renovation, and some projects are not yet completed and have not been put into use—so daily land use is quite tight.

As soon as he appeared in his shadow robe, the sea of ​​people in the stadium stirred up a commotion.

Looking around, almost all the children were children, with some accompanied by their parents or relatives.

These children came from all over the Land of Wind, and their clothes and appearances were all different.

Some of the children's clothing clearly had regional characteristics. Because their living environment and access to information were different from those of Sunagakure, they didn't know much about Yubi, the Fourth Kazekage, except that he was a very powerful adult.

Of course, there were also children who had heard of Yubi—among the gazes cast upon them were those of admiration, fear, and curiosity—

In short, the reaction was quite interesting.

Besides Yubi, there were also some Sand Village ninjas on site who were responsible for controlling the situation and maintaining order.

Kids are hard to manage; you can't do without maintaining order.

Yubi first walked to the center of the stadium, gave a routine speech, and then sat down to the side to cheer on the children and watch the game.

To test the aptitude of these children from the Land of Wind, Sunagakure specifically selected a group of children from within the village to serve as their challengers.

The village of Sunagakure has a strong ninja atmosphere, a mature training system and resources, and children can easily come into contact with the village's ninjas.

Even if they are all small-minded, the overall level of the children from Sunagakure is definitely higher than that of these children from other villages.

Moreover, when the children in the village saw Yubi, their eyes lit up.

"It's obvious they're preparing to go all out"—to give the outsiders a good beating.

They didn't want to lose face in front of Lord Kazekage.

Mischievous kids—they're all simple-minded and love to show off.

Then, as the competition began, Yubi saw the village children take turns going up and down, defeating or making the children of the same age from other villages cry in a series of matches.

As Yubi watched, she began to drift off into her own world and fell asleep with her eyes open.

A group of unruly kids fighting—it wasn't anything interesting for him, and the noise just gave him a headache.

With his keen eyesight, he could probably tell which children had the talent to become ninjas.

However, what was supposed to be a match where I could relax and unwind turned into a few unexpected incidents.

Although the children in the village are more capable than ordinary children, their level of capability is limited, since they have not yet formally entered the ninja academy to study and train.

When the competition was halfway through, there were still quite a few children outside the village, but very few children remained inside the village.

After all, there were quite a few children from the Land of Wind who were called up to participate in the competition this time.

The children in the village, on the other hand, are at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers.

At that moment, a little boy with gray hair walked out from among the children in the village.

He was about to face an opponent who was older and stronger than him.

As the fight began, the boy quickly found himself at a disadvantage, being knocked down several times by the older boy.

The age gap between the two is quite large.

The gray-haired boy was also the only one who, upon his first appearance, appeared to be no match for the children from outside the village.

This angered the children in the village who represented Sunagakure—they believed that the gray-haired boy had disgraced Sunagakure.

However, despite being knocked down time and time again, the gray-haired boy always miraculously gets back up and continues to fight his opponents, demonstrating remarkable willpower.

And ultimately, through his own willpower, he defeated his opponent.

When everyone thought he would lose the second round of matches—no one expected that he would win again.

Although the way they won was somewhat embarrassing and humiliating—

Then came the third and fourth matches—and it wasn't until he defeated five opponents that the gray-haired boy collapsed from exhaustion.

Judging from the results alone, it's already quite good.

But the gray-haired boy won not because he was physically strong, but entirely because he persevered with his willpower!

This also brought Yubi back to her senses, and she began to pay attention to him.

Yubi glanced at him, and the Chunin Yura immediately came to his side, flipping through the list in his hand. After looking at it, he whispered in his ear, "His name is Zilu, he is five years old this year—his family situation is very ordinary, and there are no ninjas in his relatives."

"Moreover—it seems that he volunteered to sign up and wanted to participate."

Violet?

Yubi felt the name was somewhat familiar.

After a moment of contemplation, I remembered.

Isn't this the character from Sunagakure who created the Seven-Day Breathing Technique in the future?

Gaara's martial arts teacher.

The reason he remembered this character was that, throughout the ninja world, Miyo's Eight Gates technique was almost unparalleled in the realm of taijutsu.

In particular, Kai's kick that almost shattered the aura of the finale perfectly showcased the power of the Eight Gates Formation.

However, Violet's seven-day breathing method improves the activity of cells throughout the body by breathing oxygen through the lungs, and can even suppress Xiao Li, who has opened the fourth gate.

Moreover, at that time, Violet had only reached the third level of activity.

From this perspective, even if the Seven-Day Breathing Technique cannot compare to the Eight Gates Formation, it is at least an extremely outstanding physical technique.

"So it was him."

Yubi suddenly realized.

This is a highly skilled individual!

When Yubi thought of Violet, she couldn't help but think of another character.

Rain.

A female medical ninja.

Later generations mastered medical water-style ninjutsu. Regardless of the effects, the combination and variations of medical ninjutsu with water-style ninjutsu were quite unique.

This female character is probably one of the "fresh blood" of Sunagakure in this generation.

Yubi asked Yura to search through the register, but couldn't find Ayano's name.

However, he told Yura to keep an eye out and go to the village after the competition to see if Ayano had been born yet.

Several hours later, the competition finally came to an end.

It was already dark outside the venue.

Yubi, as the Kazekage, began awarding prizes to the children.

During this time, Yubi saw Violet standing outside the crowd, her eyes red with tears.

His face was still bruised and swollen, and one of his teeth had been knocked out—those brats were pretty ruthless.

Violet's record is good, but he seems to be ostracized by the other children in the village.

The reason is simple: the children chosen by the village are basically descendants of Sunagakure. Even if their aptitude is poor, they still have the potential to become ninjas.

As a child from a commoner family, Zi Luo had no resources related to ninjas. In addition, his performance in battle lacked any skill; he just relied on his guts and threw punches randomly, showing no trace of ninja skills. Naturally, he was ridiculed by the other unruly children.

As one of the five great ninja villages, even after Yubi came to power, he continued to advocate the idea of ​​equality for all.

However, the only effect that can be achieved is advocacy and management.

The mindset and atmosphere of "ninja supremacy" are ingrained in the very bones of this world and form the main theme of the ninja world, which is fundamentally unchangeable.

Violet seemed to think she had also lost face, and hid in a corner, sobbing secretly.

He was looking down when suddenly he heard a commotion—

Then, a pair of shoes came into his view.

Zi Luo was stunned, then looked up.

Then he saw the Fourth Kazekage standing in front of him, smiling as he looked at him.

Yubi crouched down and placed her palm on Violet's face, the warm chakra healing the little boy's injuries.

"Your name is Zi Luo, right?"

Yubi asked with a smile.

"Um--"

Violet was a little confused.

Seemingly not expecting that Lord Kazekage would notice him, and even walk up to him under the spotlight.

"Great job!"

After healing Violet's injuries, Yubi withdrew his hand, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him generously.

"You'll definitely become an outstanding ninja of Sunagakure in the future! Believe in yourself—I have high hopes for you!"

Yubi winked at the boy, gave him a bright smile, and encouraged him.

A simple sentence immediately brightened the previously dimmed light in Violet's eyes.

Seeing this, the mischievous children in the surrounding villages couldn't help but feel jealous.

At this moment, young Zilu felt that the Kazekage before him was radiant.

This is probably a scene he will never forget for the rest of his life.

"Not just Violet, but everyone who participated today, you are all little heroes, and I believe you will all become outstanding ninjas in the future!"

"come on!"

Yubi rose and praised all the children.
