Once everyone had arrived, Minato Namikaze and the others stepped onto the stage to give their speeches.
"Good morning, parents and students. I am Minato Namikaze, currently the Fourth Hokage and also the new principal of the Ninja Academy. It is an honor to give this speech today…"
He concluded with the familiar words:
"Where the leaves dance, the fire also burns eternal."
Clap clap clap…!
Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd below as everyone cheered for Minato.
Afterward, several department heads and teachers also gave speeches. When they finished, the new students followed the class assignment board and headed to their respective classrooms.
Without any surprise, Nagi, Naruko, and Satsuki were all assigned to the famous "Rookie Nine" class.
After entering the classroom, Nagi found a quiet seat and sat down.
Naruko immediately tried to sit on his left.
But suddenly—
Someone grabbed the collar of her shirt from behind.
She turned around and saw a girl with short purple hair and a rather bold, cool outfit.
"Hinata?"
"Yeah," Hinata replied calmly. "Naruko, that seat is mine. Go sit somewhere else."
Since Hiashi Hyūga often visited Minato, Naruko and Hinata already knew each other.
Naruko protested immediately.
"Why? Nagi and I are good friends. We should sit together."
Hinata shrugged.
"Then sit on his right side."
The desks in the classroom were arranged for three students per table, and Nagi was sitting in the middle.
"Oh right, I forgot."
Naruko happily took the seat on Nagi's other side.
After a while—
Iruka Umino walked in holding the class roster and lesson plan.
He clapped his hands.
"Alright everyone, quiet down and listen."
The classroom quickly fell silent.
Iruka nodded with satisfaction and wrote his name on the blackboard.
"My name is Iruka Umino, and I will be your homeroom teacher from now on."
"Next, let's introduce ourselves so we can get to know each other, alright?"
"Okay!" ×N
"Good. Please tell us your name, what you like, and your dream for the future. We'll start from the first row, from left to right."
The Introductions Begin
When it was time for the Rookie Nine, Kiba Inuzuka stepped forward first.
"My name is Kiba Inuzuka. My favorite animals are cats, and the animals I hate the most are dogs. My dream is to become Hokage and make everyone raise cats!"
"Meow!"
[Tsume Inuzuka]: Kiba!! Do you want a beating? You're really asking for it!
[Kiba Inuzuka]: Wait, Mom! That's the me from another world, not the real me!
[Hana Inuzuka]: That face still deserves a beating.
[Kiba Inuzuka]: ...
What did I do to deserve this?
Next was Shino Aburame.
"My name is Shino Aburame. The thing I hate the most is—"
Before he could finish, he suddenly spotted something terrifying.
He immediately pulled out insect spray and began spraying wildly.
A mosquito was quickly eliminated.
Next was a slightly chubby Shikamaru Nara, smiling foolishly.
"Hehehe, hello everyone. I'm Shikamaru Nara. My favorite thing is eating barbecue. My dream is to achieve unlimited barbecue and endless drinks."
Then came the slim and well-proportioned Chōji Akimichi.
"My name is Chōji Akimichi. I like lighter foods, and my dream is to protect the people who are important to me."
Next was the gentle and soft-spoken Ino Yamanaka.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ino Yamanaka. I like growing flowers. My dream is to quietly cultivate flowers forever."
After speaking, she shyly returned to her seat beside Sakura, who encouraged her and said she did great.
[Shino Aburame]: That is definitely not me!
Seeing himself spraying insecticide everywhere, even the normally calm Shino completely broke down.
[Shikamaru Nara]: What a drag…
Honestly, seeing his carefree and chubby alternate self made Shikamaru feel slightly envious of that innocence.
[Chōji Akimichi]: ...
Seeing the thin version of himself on the screen, Chōji decided not to comment.
[Ino Yamanaka]: What's with that weak personality!? And why would I be such good friends with Forehead Girl!?
[Sakura Haruno]: Haha, Ino! You could try acting like your screen self and be cute toward me too.
[Ino Yamanaka]: In your dreams!
Meanwhile, Sai, Shin, and Karin still had personalities similar to their usual selves.
Speaking of Karin, in this world she and her mother were discovered when Danzō took Hashirama Senju to the Land of Earth for negotiations.
While passing through the Kusagakure, they discovered Karin's mother being used as a living blood bag.
When Hashirama saw the tragic fate of the Uzumaki clan, combined with Danzō's persuasive words, even his good-natured personality couldn't hold back.
In anger, Hashirama wiped Kusagakure off the map.
Danzō then dealt with the remaining ninja—some killed, some imprisoned, others reorganized.
He showed absolutely no mercy.
After all, Danzō had never liked Kusagakure's habit of constantly switching sides during the ninja wars.
This also served as a warning to the other nations.
Sure enough, the incident intimidated the rest of the world.
Ōnoki and the other leaders realized that the First Hokage truly would intervene, and quickly agreed to peace negotiations.
Next came the well-mannered Sakura Haruno.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like going shopping, eating, and spending time with my family. My dream is to become a ninja who surpasses my father."
The children in the classroom applauded enthusiastically.
After all, Sakura's father Kizashi Haruno had been a hero during the Third Great Ninja War.
Everyone wished for her dream to come true.
Next was the cool and composed Satsuki Uchiha.
With a blank expression, she said:
"Satsuki Uchiha. I don't particularly like anything. My dream is to become the strongest in the ninja world."
"Wow, that's so cool!"
"Yeah, she's awesome!"
"..."
Both boys and girls were captivated by her cool demeanor and ambitious dream.
Ignoring the noisy reactions, Satsuki simply returned to her seat, staring forward as if nothing around her mattered.
Next came the boss-like Hinata.
She stepped forward confidently.
"My name is Hinata Hyūga."
"The thing I hate most is people who disturb me. If someone annoys me without knowing their place, I don't mind teaching them a lesson."
"My dream is to become the strongest in the ninja world—no exceptions."
After finishing, she glanced sideways at Satsuki before returning to her seat.
No one dared argue with her introduction.
After all, many had already heard rumors about the Hyūga heiress's temper.
Finally, it was Nagi's turn.
The moment he stepped forward, cheers erupted throughout the classroom.
There was only one reason—
He was simply too adorable.
Iruka quickly quieted the class.
Then Nagi introduced himself.
"Hello everyone. My name is Nagi ."
"My favorite thing is cooking."
"My dream is to become a powerful ninja."
He paused for a moment and added:
"And one more important thing…"
"I am a boy, so please don't get that wrong in the future."
Crack. ×N
At that moment—
Almost every boy in the classroom felt his heart shatter.
