On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

"That's enough." Yuri said, seeing that the two were getting stronger and stronger, even using their breathing techniques and Haki-Flavor Fruit abilities.

"Do you want to be singled out by Uncle Yongze on the very first day? This place isn't far from the university."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke and Naruto stopped instantly, withdrawing their attacks in perfect unison.

They knew Nagasawa's personality. Although they were close to him, he would still be dealt with if he made a mistake. Sometimes, due to sudden bursts of morbid curiosity, he would even do strange things to Nagasawa, such as dressing him up as a woman to do chores...

Seeing that the two had stopped, Choji chewed the candy in his mouth and swallowed it, then chuckled and took out the potato chips to continue eating.

After Naruto and Sasuke tidied themselves up a bit, the group quickly entered the Ninja Academy.

The Ninja University was proposed and established five years ago by Nagasawa.

At that time, Nagasawa obtained some information about the Otsutsuki clan from Kaguya and learned about their strength.

In order to prepare for a potential crisis, Nagasawa tried every means to increase Konoha's prosperity and acquire more points to improve its strength, and establishing a university was one of his plans.

In the previous ninja world, to become a powerful ninja, one either needed extraordinary talent or a family tradition.

The university established by Nagasawa is a platform for everyone to further their studies. It contains various ninjutsu and secret techniques accumulated over thousands of years by various ninja villages, as well as various powerful secret techniques developed by Nagasawa himself. Even Sage Mode is included and is one of the compulsory courses for senior students.

This would have been impossible in the previous ninja world.

Because of frequent wars, let alone middle school and university, even six years of schooling in the ninja world is difficult to complete. Children as young as eight or nine have to go to the battlefield to fight.

It's absolutely impossible to get the various ninja villages and clans to share their most treasured ninjutsu techniques, because that's their fate.

Nagasawa had some doubts; if it weren't for the threat from the Otsutsuki clan, some ninja villages or families might not have been willing to hand it over voluntarily.

Even if many of their so-called secret techniques are outdated.

When Naruto and his friends entered the Ninja Academy, they attracted a lot of attention from the students.

There's no other reason than that many of them are already renowned geniuses in the ninja world.

The Ninja Alliance greatly strengthened the connections between ninja villages. Not only did they jointly hold ninja exams more frequently, but they also regularly organized various ninja tournaments. As long as you had the strength, you would quickly become famous.

"That's Hyuga Neji, the champion of the last Ninja High School League! What a powerful aura!" someone exclaimed upon seeing Neji.

"Look at that blond guy, he looks like the Fourth Hokage!"

"Idiot, that's the Fourth Hokage's son, Naruto Namikaze! He's unbeatable in all the middle school competitions and is one of the most promising new generation ninjas!"

Hearing people talking about him, Naruto subconsciously straightened his back and smiled smugly at Sasuke, as if to say, "I'm awesome, aren't I?"

"Wow, isn't that Uchiha Sasuke next to him? I heard that his older brother, who's a few years older than him, is already a high-ranking member of the special operations force, and he's also one of the most promising new generation ninjas!"

"Tch, acting like everyone else is the most promising new generation." Sasuke curled his lip.

Chapter 600 The Young Ninjas

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never die. The firelight will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout..."

At the opening ceremony, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the honorary principal of Konoha Ninja University, was explaining the Will of Fire and the history of Konoha to the new students with a kind expression.

"Grandpa always does the same thing, I've memorized it by heart," Naruto muttered from below.

He had heard these words from the three generations since elementary school, and they hadn't changed at all.

I used to find it exciting, but now it feels a bit outdated. What era are we living in? They're still talking about the traditional Will of Fire. The ninja world is unified now. Give us something new!

"Boring." Lily didn't feel anything about any of this.

"Thank you for your speech, Third Hokage. Now, please welcome our Vice Principal Hatake to give a speech to the new students."

As soon as the host finished speaking, a flash of silver light appeared, and Kakashi, dressed in a Konoha ninja uniform, appeared on the stage, greeting the Third Hokage and the host.

"You young people are so energetic, unlike an old man like me with one foot in the grave," the Third Hokage remarked, marveling at how he couldn't sense Kakashi's movements at all.

Once upon a time, he was Konoha's pillar of strength, but now he's out of touch with the times.

He doesn't know any domineering spiritual pressure breathing techniques; he's only learned some immortal arts.

Kakashi smiled modestly, then turned to the freshmen below the stage and began to speak.

"Is this your father, Yuri? He looks like a very powerful ninja," Ino said from below.

Although he had a good relationship with Yurika and had visited her home several times, Kakashi was never home.

My impressions of Kakashi all come from Naruto or Yuriko's accounts.

When Ino was a child, she was afraid to go to Yurika's house because of Kakashi's identity as a member of the Anbu.

"Troublesome... Even universities can't avoid these procedures." Shikamaru just wanted to go back to his dorm and sleep as soon as possible.

He came here because he was annoyed by his family's nagging and heard that university was easy.

As things stand now, it's still more comfortable at home.

"You ungrateful pineapple head, this is a profound teaching from your elders, listen carefully," Lily said expressionlessly, arms crossed.

Shikamaru was speechless. You didn't say that when the Third Hokage was speaking. Isn't the Third Hokage an elder? If you really want to count, the Third Hokage is Kakashi's ancestor, the teacher of Kakashi's teacher.

"I'm not saying Hatake-senpai is boring, I'm just talking about the process," Shikamaru explained briefly.

"That's more like it." Baihehua nodded. If it weren't for her father's words, she probably wouldn't have listened.

After the opening ceremony, everyone split into small groups and started exploring the school to familiarize themselves with the campus, except for Shikamaru.

"I'm going back to my dorm," Shikamaru said, stretching.

"Don't you want to take a look around the school?" Naruto asked.

"Since I'll be staying here for several more years anyway, I might as well keep things fresh." Shikamaru looked around and planned the shortest route back to his dorm.

"That makes some sense." Naruto actually felt like he was being persuaded by Shikamaru.

"Makes sense my foot! To put it bluntly, he's just too lazy to walk," Sasuke retorted. "Only an idiot like Naruto would believe that kind of excuse."

Seeing Sasuke causing trouble, Naruto retorted without backing down.

Seeing that the two were about to have a showdown, Shikamaru put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the dormitory.

"It seems there's a taijutsu challenge tournament being held by Kumogakure tonight, and the Raikage himself is said to be participating."

"I definitely have to see it. I've been wanting to see the Lightning Release ninjutsu of Kumogakure for a long time."

"It seems they'll also be drawing lucky viewers from the live stream audience to give away concert tickets..."

On the asphalt road, ninjas from different countries and villages were discussing all sorts of interesting things.

Looking at the harmonious scene, Shikamaru couldn't help but feel respect for Principal Nagasawa, who had brought all of this to fruition.

Shikamaru had studied history and knew that just over ten years ago, a great war had broken out in the ninja world, with all the nations fighting each other to the death.

Forget about being friends and getting along well; even if you see each other on the street, you'll be thinking about how to sabotage each other.

He changed the ninja world.

"Hey you with the pineapple head, stop right there!"

Just as Shikamaru was leisurely walking back to his dorm, a female voice called out to him.

Shikamaru was getting annoyed. What had his hair done to offend anyone? This was the second time today.

Shikamaru stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. After seeing who it was, he instinctively wanted to run away.

But Temari had finally managed to get close to Shikamaru, so how could she let him escape? She instantly appeared in front of Shikamaru and blocked his escape attempt.

"Troublesome..." Shikamaru sighed, feeling that he had made a mistake. If he had known that he would run into Temari, he would have been better off going out with Naruto and the others.

"What trouble? You have to call me Temari-senpai. I'm already a senior." Temari said smugly, one hand on her hip and the other holding a fan.

"Didn't you say you had thought of more than two hundred ways to defeat me during our fight? Now come with me to the school training ground and let's see which two hundred you are."

Shikamaru scratched his head, feeling somewhat guilty.

His ill-fated relationship with Temari dates back to a ninja tournament.

Shikamaru and Temari both participated in that match and both made it to the finals, but during the finals, Shikamaru, who had the advantage, conceded defeat.

Later, due to various reasons, their ill-fated relationship deepened.

Shikamaru was a bit annoyed. "You're the daughter of the Kazekage, wouldn't it be better to study at your own university? Why did you have to come to the Land of Fire?"

The only thing that Shikamaru could be thankful for was that Temari was already a senior in college and, under normal circumstances, would graduate next year.

……

Bedroom.

In the four-person dormitory room with bunk beds and desks underneath, only Naruto and Sasuke were present at the moment.

But the two, who usually argue about which foot to step out with first, were strangely calm at this moment, with only the clattering of their keyboards.

boom!

Sasuke couldn't help but slam his hand on the wooden table. "Damn it, how can this person type so fast?"

Sasuke's screen was rapidly refreshing with various replies. Although Sasuke was trying his best to type, he was quickly overwhelmed by the messages from the other party.

Upon closer inspection, the person's posts included things like, "The Konoha Twelve are just for fun; for real strength, you have to look at Gaara from Sunagakure," and "Just a random passerby xxx."

Basically, they all belittle the new generation of Konoha ninjas and then promote the new generation of Sunagakure.

Although Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara have had a good relationship since childhood, they wouldn't be bothered by others praising Gaara, but it's really despicable for this person to belittle the new generation of Konoha.

"If we knew who this person was, we'd definitely teach him a lesson." Even the good-natured Naruto was furious.

Unbeknownst to them, in a dormitory not far from them, there was an extremely intense pounding sound, as if someone was constantly typing on a keyboard.

When Kankuro saw that the two people he had been arguing with had stopped sending messages, he stopped his six-armed puppet and let out a contemptuous laugh.

Trying to outspeed him, who possesses puppets, will only result in defeat!

"If Shikamaru were here, that would be great. He's pretty good with these tech products; maybe he could find this person's location." Naruto thought of Shikamaru.

"Yeah, but where did Shikamaru go? Didn't he come back early?" Sasuke noticed the problem.

Chapter 601 The Daily Life of Students

"Kankuro, do you want to go for a walk?" Chojuro asked.

Kankuro thought about it and realized that he had been staying in his dorm room all day, even ordering takeout. He figured it was time to go out for a walk, so he nodded in agreement.
