Uchiha: Becoming the Strongest Hokage from Scratch

Konoha Ninja Academy.

The sound of gongs and drums filled the air, and the crowds were immense.

When Uchiha Yue appeared, everyone turned to look at him, put down what they were doing, and bowed in unison to greet him.

"Hokage-sama!"

The shouts were deafening, filled with anticipation and excitement, especially those with children who could hardly contain their emotions.

"Haha, good afternoon everyone." Uchiha Yue waved in response, and the crowd automatically parted to make way.

He walked straight to the makeshift platform, stood down, and looked down at the civilians or ninjas looking up at him, feeling a surge of pride.

"I hereby declare the Konoha Ninja Academy officially established today!"

Uchiha Yue didn't launch into a long-winded speech; he went straight to the point.

clap clap clap!

The applause was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

He raised his hand to calm the crowd down, and the excited crowd gradually quieted down.

"Now, I'm going to announce a few things to everyone." Uchiha Tsuki cleared his throat. "First, the admission requirements."

"Children who have legal Konoha status, are at least six years old, and pass the pre-school verification can enter the Ninja Academy to study."

clap clap clap!

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted again, and the common people of Konoha cheered with joy, filled with confidence for the future.

Parents everywhere have the same heart; none of them don't hope their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes.

After the Ninja Academy was established, all children who met the requirements could attend, which was a great boon to ordinary people.

Their children can also become ninjas!

Although becoming a ninja inevitably involves fighting and killing, they do live in a ninja village, and becoming a ninja is the only way to ensure their own interests and achieve upward social mobility.

"Lord Hokage, what kind of tests are done during the pre-school assessment?" someone asked boldly after the applause subsided.

"The pre-school verification process is very simple: any child who is physically able, has the ability to think, and possesses ninja talent can enroll."

Uchiha Tsukuyomi patiently explained and defined what it means to have ninja talent, since talent is a rather vague concept.

"Before entering the school, there will be special ninjas to check the children's talents. As long as they have the necessary conditions to refine chakra, they are considered to have the talent to become a ninja."

He paused after speaking, then continued.

"Secondly, there are the admission benefits."

"After the children enroll, tuition and training materials are free, and the school provides lunch. If a family is experiencing financial difficulties, the school will also provide necessary living assistance."

clap clap clap!

Another round of applause rang out, but in order to end the speech more quickly and allow the long-waiting children to enroll as soon as possible, Uchiha Tsuki immediately raised his hand and pressed it down.

"Thirdly, there's the treatment given to top students."

"Any child with excellent grades can receive preferential treatment from the school, including but not limited to: guidance from renowned teachers, custom-made ninjutsu, or being taken on as my disciple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and then a deafening roar erupted!

The applause rang out again, accompanied by extremely noisy discussions.

"My God! I've been personally accepted as a disciple by the Hokage?!"

"The Hokage is one of the strongest ninjas in the world. What an honor it would be to become his disciple!"

"Even if I can't become the Hokage's disciple, the first two benefits are still pretty good, okay?!"

Not only were ordinary people caught up in a sea of ​​revelry, but even the well-informed ninja clans, large and small, could not hide their excitement.

They didn't care about the first two things; what they really cared about was the opportunity to become Uchiha Tsukuyomi's disciple!

This represents not only honor and strength, but also status!

Being in a good position gives them an advantage. As long as they can get closer to Uchiha Tsuki, they will have a place in Konoha's inner circle for a long time.

Only by simultaneously possessing power and authority can their clan thrive within the sphere of influence of Konoha.

"Alright, alright, I know everyone is excited about the Ninja Academy's official launch, and I'm excited too."

Uchiha Yue smiled and raised his hand to press down again, "But everyone, please be quiet and let me finish speaking."

Fourth, graduation requirements.

"All students will study at the Ninja Academy for 10 years, and under normal circumstances, they will be allowed to graduate at the age of 16."

Of course, the school also allows for special circumstances, such as early graduation.

However, to graduate early, three requirements must be met simultaneously:

First, I got full marks in the academic subjects. Note that it was full marks, not just passing.

Second, one's strength reaches the level of a Jonin.

Third, you must undergo my personal assessment and pass it.

However, I still don't recommend graduating early, because becoming a ninja is brutal, and school will be your most cherished memory before you become a ninja, bar none.

After he finished speaking, he paused. "That's all for today. From now on, all eligible children, please line up with your parents and wait for the pre-school verification!"

After finishing his speech, Uchiha Yue turned and jumped off the platform, heading straight for the principal's office, leaving the rest to his subordinates.

The pre-enrollment verification lasted from noon until sunset before it finally ended.

Uchiha Yue, who had been waiting in the office for a long time, finally received the enrollment list that he had been talking about all afternoon.

I glanced at it from beginning to end, but I didn't see any of those familiar names from later generations.

But what he was concerned about wasn't these things, but rather the number of first-generation trainees.

"Having eighty people is already quite good; the number will only increase in the future."

The number of new students seems small, and indeed it is, but this is closely related to Konoha's population size and admission requirements.

The requirement of being six years old and having talent eliminated at least three or even four times that number of children.

Moreover, the large number of students is a significant burden on Konoha's finances and the school's teaching staff.

Having these people in the first generation is just right.

"Takuma-senpai, would you like to take a look?"

Uchiha Yue handed the list to the old Uchiha guys, "You each pick the ones you like and divide them into five teams, each leading one of them."

That's right, he also plans to have the ninja teachers compete among themselves, which is exactly what the Uchiha clan wants.

For old guys like Uchiha Takuma, there's basically nothing left to strive for in this life; the only thing that can still get them going is honor.

"We're here for the first generation, but what about the second?" Uchiha Takuma asked the crucial question.

Uchiha Yue had already planned it out: "Once our frontline troops officially withdraw, replenishing the teaching staff will be very simple."

"Let alone the second-generation students, even with the sixth and seventh generations experiencing a population explosion, schools would not lack teachers."

He bowed slightly to Uchiha Takuma and the others, saying solemnly, "Then, I'll leave the first generation in your care for now!"

"Moon Boy, that's more like it!" Uchiha Takuma was very satisfied. He pulled a few old friends over and started looking at the list, each of them picking out students they liked.

However, despite the class assignments, the first lesson of the new semester still had to be taught by Uchiha Tsuki himself.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have been the principal for nothing?

Anyway, anyone who has taken his class can call themselves a student, and that's how the foundation is gradually built up.

The future is expected!
