This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 106 Kana and Kakashi

This spring, the cherry blossoms bloomed exceptionally beautifully.

With the smoke of the Second Shinobi World War completely dissipated, in order to give the children born in the midst of war a more complete childhood and to cultivate a more solid foundation for the village, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, made a sweeping change to alter the ninja academy's curriculum from the original three-year accelerated program to a six-year program.

This also means that this year's freshmen will be the first unlucky (just kidding) lucky ones in Konoha's history to enjoy a long academic journey.

The main gate of the Thousand Hands Clan's territory.

"I'm not going! It's the old man who needs me, not me abandoning you all!"

Tsunade, wearing a green jacket with the word "gambling" on it, waved her hand impatiently at the two little girls in front of her.

Behind her, a masked member of the secret service was kneeling on one knee, clearly having been waiting for some time.

"But... Tsunade promised to go to school with me today."

Kana Uzumaki was wearing brand new clothes, carrying a small backpack, her eyes were red, and she was still tightly clutching Tsunade's clothes.

Jingyin stood obediently to the side, holding her schoolbag in her arms. Although she was a little disappointed, she remained silent.

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Tsunade scratched her head, her gaze passing over the two children and precisely locking onto Nishikawa Tetsu, who was leaning against the doorway yawning.

"Hey, Nishikawa Toru, it's your turn now."

Tsunade tossed the two children's lunchboxes over to her as if they were hot potatoes.

"You're Chanel's savior, so it's most appropriate for you to escort them. Besides, aren't you with the police? You can go and maintain order along the way!"

After saying that, she didn't give Nishikawa Tetsuya a chance to refuse, and waved her hand at the Anbu: "Let's go see what kind of trouble the old man has this time."

Watching Tsunade's hurried departure, Nishikawa Tetsu caught the lunchbox and shrugged helplessly.

He looked down at Kana, whose eyes were brimming with tears, and then at Mizuki Uzumaki, who looked apologetic beside him.

"It seems I'm the guardian today."

After developing the chakra battery, he finally had a rare moment of relaxation. The rest was basically about optimization, and taking care of the kids wasn't a big deal for him now.

Nishikawa Tetsu bent down and flicked Kana's forehead with his finger.

"Stop crying, or you'll get your new clothes dirty. Today is the first day of school, and your classmates will laugh at you if you cry your eyes out."

Kana sniffed, reluctantly letting go, then grabbed Nishikawa Tetsu's sleeve.

"Then... Brother Che, you have to escort me all the way to the classroom."

"Okay, is it alright if I bring it to your seat?"

……

The road to the ninja academy was teeming with people.

Opening ceremonies in peacetime are much more lively than those in wartime.

Everywhere you look, you see families of three holding their children's hands, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and the sweet aroma of glutinous rice balls.

Nishikawa Tetsu walked in the middle, holding Shizune's hand with his left hand and being tightly pulled by Kana with his right hand. Behind him followed Uzumaki Mizuki, who was vigilant about the surroundings like a bodyguard.

This strange combination attracted the attention of many passersby.

Soon, the gates of the ninja academy came into view, and the entrance was crowded with parents and new students.

Wow! So many people!

Chanel, being a child at heart, quickly recovered from her earlier disappointment and looked around curiously.

Nishikawa Tetsu led them through the crowd to the bulletin board announcing the class assignments.

"Kana Uzumaki, Class 1-A"

"Silence, Class A, Year 1."

"Kakashi Hatake, Class 1-A..."

Nishikawa Tetsu's gaze lingered on the name for a second.

Kakashi Hatake? The son of White Fang?

It seems that this year's Class A is quite prestigious.

"Let's go to the classroom."

The group entered the teaching building.

The classroom for Class A of Grade 1 was already quite full.

Most of the children were excitedly chattering and making new friends.

In the corner by the window in the last row of the classroom, there sat a figure that seemed out of place with his surroundings.

It was a little boy with a silver-white spiky hairstyle, wearing a black mask that revealed only his dead fish eyes.

He had his hands in his pockets and didn't even glance around, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

More importantly, he looked shorter than the other children in his class.

"what?"

As soon as Kanae entered the classroom, she was drawn to this unique silver-haired kid.

She let go of Nishikawa Tetsu's hand and ran over.

Nishikawa Tetsu raised an eyebrow but didn't stop him. He simply crossed his arms and leaned against the doorway to watch the show.

Kana ran to Kakashi's table, placed her hands on the table, lowered her head, and looked at him with the eyes of an older sister caring for her younger brother.

"Um... little brother, are you lost?"

Kana blinked her big eyes and pointed at Kakashi.

"This is a ninja academy, you've gone to the wrong place, haven't you?"

Kakashi, who had been lost in thought, froze.

He slowly raised his head, his lifeless, dead fish eyes meeting Kana's concerned red pupils.

Little brother?

Kakashi's eye twitched slightly.

He's Sakumo Hatake's son, yet he's mistaken for a lost toddler by a seemingly silly little red-haired girl?

"I am a student in Class A of the first grade."

Kakashi's voice came through the mask, muffled.

"Also, I'm not young."

"You're lying!"

Kana gestured to show the height difference between the two; at this moment, she was about half a head taller than Kakashi.

"You're so much shorter than me, look, your feet can't even touch the ground!"

Kakashi looked down at his dangling feet, and a red "well" character instantly popped up on his forehead.

This is a design flaw in the chair!

"boring."

Kakashi turned to look out the window, deciding to ignore this idiot.

"Oh, don't be shy!"

Kana, however, had no intention of letting him off the hook. She took out a candy from her bag—it was a piece of candy that Nishikawa Tetsu had given her earlier.

"Here, have a candy and you won't be scared anymore. By the way, my name is Uzumaki Kana!"

Kakashi looked at the candy offered to him, then at the overly friendly red-haired little girl, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside him.

Is this what the Ninja Academy is like?

It's really troublesome.

At the doorway, Nishikawa Tetsu watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It seems that the future Sixth Hokage will have a very colorful life at the Ninja Academy."

He went in, placed Shizune next to Kana, then walked to Kakashi's table and tapped on it.

"Yo, Kakashi, long time no see."

Kakashi looked up, saw Nishikawa Tetsu, and his eyes flickered slightly.

He remembered this person, the strange man who had suggested his father wear a mask.

"Nishikawa-senpai." Kakashi nodded politely, though his tone remained indifferent.

"Get along well."

Nishikawa Tetsu patted Kakashi's still-soft silver hair and then ruffled Kana's red hair.

"Among ninjas, being small does not mean being weak, and being big does not mean being strong."

After saying that, he turned around and waved to Mizuki.

"Let's go, Mizuki. We should get back to work; we haven't finished running the battery test data for today."

Mizuki glanced at her sister with some reluctance, but finally nodded and followed Nishikawa Tetsu out of the classroom.

In the classroom, Kana was still trying to stuff candy into Kakashi's hand.

"Eat it! Eat it! It's orange flavored!"

"...I don't eat sweets."

"So what do you like to eat? Saury?"

"..."
