Mito looked at the three little ones, her eyes filled with gentle smiles.
These children are the future of Konoha.
They are the ones who can truly carry the future of Konoha.
"So, since you've become my disciples, what do you want to learn?"
"Just so you know, I'm not good at combat."
Although she wasn't good at it, she could still beat a Kage senseless.
Hearing this, Hyuga Hitomi was a little disappointed; she wanted to go home and practice her sword.
"sealing technique, Barrier, Medical Ninjutsu."
Miki said directly.
"Why do you want to learn these?" Mito asked curiously.
"Because I want to turn insects into my Summoning Beasts," Miki said. "The Insect Pot can only carry too few insects."
Is that the reason?
But the swarms of insects that the Insect Pot could release were already quite numerous, not to mention that the Aburame Clan also had useful secret techniques to temporarily cultivate large swarms of insects.
"I see. Although the Summoning Technique is a type of Space-Time Ninjutsu, the contract scroll does belong to the knowledge of sealing technique." Mito nodded and said, "What about Medical Ninjutsu? Why do you want to learn that?"
"Cultivating new species of insects requires this knowledge," Miki said.
Or rather, Miki just wanted to learn Yang Release.
Logically speaking, where did Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu come from?
Currently, Konoha Hospital has many Medical Ninja; they are very proficient at treating external injuries, but for diseases and more serious conditions, they are powerless.
And medical techniques are not something that can be suddenly created in a flash of inspiration; they must be built upon the countless experiences of predecessors.
No matter how much of a genius Tsunade was, she couldn't be a genius to that extent.
Undoubtedly, either the Uzumaki Clan knew it, or the Senju Clan knew it.
Combined with Super Strength, it was more likely that the Senju Clan knew it.
"What about Barrier then?"
"Don't you know it?" Miki asked.
"I do!" Mito said affirmatively.
The Barrier of Konoha was built under her supervision.
"I'm just surprised why you want to learn a technique like Barrier, which doesn't help in combat."
The Four Red Yang Formation expressed its disagreement.
"It's for establishing experimental sites to prevent cultivated insects from escaping and disrupting the balance of the natural environment."
In fact, the insect swarm was under Miki's absolute control, so disrupting the ecology was impossible, but it could minimize interference from natural factors and establish a closed ecological experimental zone.
It was all for one purpose.
Mito showed a thoughtful look and smiled, "Mushi-Hime, you really love insects."
However, to be able to consider environmental damage, she was a kind-hearted child, with a different way of thinking than a Shinobi.
"Mhm." Miki nodded.
"I understand." Mito looked at Chiri and Hitomi and asked, "What about you two? Do you have any ideas now?"
"sealing technique." Chiri said, feeling that it was quite interesting.
"Medical Ninjutsu, I guess." Hyuga Hitomi replied, thinking practically that after getting injured from training, she could heal herself.
"These are all I can teach you in terms of Ninjutsu. I will teach you everything, but it will be very tough, so be mentally prepared."
"I'm not scared!" Hyuga Hitomi said firmly, already prepared to face the challenge.
Chiri, on the other hand, wondered if it would be difficult, but then she felt it might not be particularly hard; she knew simple sealing techniques, like when she retrieved the sealed twin swords earlier.
Miki asked expectantly, "Shall we start now?"
She had been longing for it for a long time and couldn't wait.
"Not so fast, there are other matters to resolve before that," Mito said.
"With your aptitude, you are already capable enough to graduate from the Ninja Academy. As your instructing teacher, you are both my disciples and my subordinates."
"How to put it, I have already recognized your abilities as Konoha Genin. Starting today, you can call yourselves Leaf Ninja."
"And becoming a Shinobi means fulfilling your duties, which requires sharing in the completion of Konoha's missions."
"However, as your teacher, I cannot leave the Village freely, so you won't be able to accept mission requests."
"Does that mean we can never accept missions?" Hyuga Hitomi exclaimed.
"Not at all." Mito didn't tease the little one and said, "There are many solutions. Assigning a Shinobi to temporarily form a team with you to complete missions is one. Second, I suggest you continue studying at the Academy and accumulate relevant mission experience when you reach a certain age."
"That way, we won't be able to graduate early."
Mito looked at Miki.
She was mainly worried that this arrogant little one might have opinions.
Because Tsunade would definitely graduate early.
The Academy could no longer teach her anything.
Tsunade herself had an impatient personality and wouldn't give up such an opportunity.
"But the advantage is that you won't have to undertake tedious and heavy missions, and you can dedicate a lot of time and energy to your studies, continuing to improve."
As for Tsunade, considering this situation, the Sandaime would not easily take on missions. As the Sandaime's disciple, she would train with the Sandaime for a few years before going on missions.
At least until she was around eleven or twelve years old, Tsunade would be allowed to leave the Village; this was also Mito's intention.
But Shinobi missions still had to be done, there was no exception. Finding cats, clearing sewers, farming, there were many missions in the Village.
It was good to let Tsunade suffer a little.
It was also an experience.
"What do you decide?" Mito asked.
"Not graduating!" Miki said immediately.
She absolutely did not want to start going on missions now; without a doubt, it would be boring tasks like finding cats, dogs, or babysitting.
A complete waste of time.
With that time, wouldn't it be better to nap at the Academy?
Miki always felt that Ogawa's voice was particularly conducive to sleep, and she slept especially soundly during class. After school, she would naturally be full of energy.
"Me too." Chiri echoed.
"I want to gradua—" Before she could finish her sentence, Hyuga Hitomi looked at Miki and Chiri. Is this the combination? I'm being targeted!
"Hitomi?" Mito asked, "What did you want to say?"
After a moment of silence, Hitomi said, "I'm not interested in graduating."
She couldn't even beat one, let alone two, and two monsters at that.
"Then it's decided!" Mito clapped her hands and smiled, "From today onwards, the Second Class is officially established."
They graduated, but not completely.
The Second Class was established, but no Shinobi registration was made.
Therefore, there was no Shinobi number.
Miki lazily clapped her hands.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Seeing this, Chiri also clapped.
Seeing that the two monsters clapped, if she didn't, wouldn't she be out of place?
Hiruko was bullied like this because he didn't understand the atmosphere.
Being bullied by these two…
Chiri thought of the scene where she was held down by Chiri and Miki forcibly fed her insects…
I'm scared…
Hyuga Hitomi clapped her hands.
Then she thought, who is the First Class?
The First Class was, of course, Tsunade's class.
It was the fifteenth year of Konoha, and this year's graduates hadn't finished their exams yet.
And the average graduation age for the First Class and Second Class was six years old.
They were currently Konoha's strongest monster Genin classes.
However, there was a husky mixed in.
Right, Jiraiya.
At a training ground somewhere in Konoha Forest, Jiraiya was tied to a tree stump, looking bewildered.
Just now, the First Class had an exam.
The exam was to snatch bells.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any.
But he was also very lucky.
A truly lucky person.
The Sandaime looked at Jiraiya with a headache.
This guy was too stupid.
He had some regrets.
