_______________
The children introduced themselves earnestly.
Soon!
It was the last one's turn.
Which was Kanda Rokuro.
Just as Rokuro was about to open his mouth and say a few words, Hiruzen Sarutobi cut him off directly:
"His name is Kanda Rokuro. That's all you need to know; he won't be coming to class often in the future!"
Being interrupted.
Rokuro was a bit dissatisfied and looked at Hiruzen.
"Lord Hokage, why did you interrupt me?"
Hiruzen snorted coldly.
"If I didn't interrupt, who knows what nonsense you were going to spout? I bet you, little pervert, were definitely planning to announce here that you're single and don't have a girlfriend, right?"
Holy crap!
As expected of the old pervert who likes to peep at bathhouses.
He saw right through my thoughts.
Truly a veteran.
While Rokuro was roasting him internally, Hiruzen addressed the children:
"Except for Kanda Rokuro, everyone else follow your teachers into the classroom. There are no classes this morning on the first day; take the time to get familiar with your classmates. Formal classes will begin in the afternoon!"
The children glanced at Rokuro, then followed the teachers away.
Soon.
Only Hiruzen and Rokuro were left on the grounds.
The two stared at each other for a moment.
Hiruzen looked at the slouching Rokuro with a headache and said,
"Rokuro, your strength is decent, but for a ninja, experience is even more important. Only with experience can you complete missions better. You came to the Ninja Academy to learn more cultural knowledge!"
Hearing this, Rokuro curled his lip.
"I can take down the enemy with one punch; I don't need experience!"
Violent brat!
Hiruzen complained internally for a moment, then sighed.
"Then let me ask you: if one day you are poisoned, and the antidote is right nearby, but you don't recognize the antidote herb at all, and you end up dying from the poison... would you say your death was unjust?"
Hearing this!
Rokuro's expression turned slightly grave.
Seeing this, Hiruzen struck while the iron was hot.
"See? Now you know the importance of knowledge, right?"
Rokuro nodded.
"That makes sense. It seems I really do need to learn healing and detoxification abilities. Lord Hokage, can you lend me a few Medical Ninjutsu scrolls to read?"
Hiruzen was speechless.
He was talking about learning general knowledge.
But Rokuro was thinking about using Medical Ninjutsu to save himself.
However!
That seemed to make sense too.
To learn Medical Ninjutsu, one also needed medical knowledge!
Besides!
Once Rokuro discovered that he couldn't learn Medical Ninjutsu easily...
He would naturally study properly.
By then, he would form friendships with the other children.
Hiruzen thought for a moment, then looked at the serious Rokuro and said,
"Since you want to learn so much, I can give you a few scrolls. However, you must come to class every day!"
Medical Ninjutsu.
It was something he had to learn.
Otherwise, how could he transplant Sharingan or Byakugan later?
How could he add Kekkei Genkai to himself?
Rokuro agreed immediately.
"Okay, I'll definitely come every day!"
Hiruzen glanced at Rokuro and said,
"No Shadow Clones!"
Rokuro's face instantly fell, and he said with dissatisfaction,
"Knowledge learned by a Shadow Clone is still learned by me. What's the difference? I think Shadow Clones are great!"
Hiruzen shook his head again.
"No. If you don't come in person, I won't give you the Medical Ninjutsu books!"
Rokuro looked at Hiruzen and pouted.
"If you don't give them to me, I'll ask Lord Danzo. Lord Danzo is so good to me; he'll definitely give me something like this!"
Hiruzen's face darkened.
He had forgotten about that guy Danzo.
It seemed that relying solely on Medical Ninjutsu wasn't enough to force him to go to school.
This brat loved training, so he would have to use something else.
Hiruzen thought for a moment and smiled.
"If you are willing to come to class, I will give you one A-Rank Ninjutsu every year. And when you graduate in five years, I will give you an S-Rank Ninjutsu. How about that?"
Rokuro's eyes lit up!
He said excitedly,
"Really, Lord Hokage?"
Hiruzen smiled.
"Really, very really. I am the Hokage; I won't lie to people!"
Rokuro slapped his thigh.
"Deal! Lord Hokage, you have to keep your word!"
Having settled Rokuro.
Hiruzen chuckled.
He looked at Rokuro and said,
"Don't worry. If I lie to you, you can have Danzo come find trouble with me. That should be fine, right?"
Rokuro was very satisfied.
Just as he was about to say he would come to class every day from now on, he suddenly hesitated and said,
"By the way, Lord Danzo told me to go on missions with my master when I have time. During those times, if I'm not the one attending class personally, it should still count, right?"
Hiruzen looked at Rokuro in surprise.
"Danzo has started assigning you missions?"
Rokuro nodded.
"My master told me when he came back last time. He said he's already over fifty and has reached retirement age. He doesn't plan to do overly difficult missions anymore. Instead, he'll do missions below A-Rank and said he can take me along on simple missions as training."
Hiruzen understood instantly.
Danzo's thinking was similar to his.
He was using the bonds of friendship, while Danzo was using the bonds of family (master-disciple relationship).
Having figured it out.
He smiled and said,
"That's no problem; I can agree to that!"
Rokuro nodded immediately.
"Then it's settled!"
Hiruzen patted Rokuro's head.
"It's settled. Go get familiar with your classmates. I have things to do, so I won't chat with you any longer!"
With that.
Hiruzen turned and left.
Rokuro watched Hiruzen's retreating back, shook his head, and went to the classroom.
