“Yo, yo, idiot Ling, bastard Ling, causing trouble on the very first day of school!”
“Yo, it’s Motoi and Killer Bee.
I know, I know, I’m coming!”
Ye Yue Ling hurriedly shoveled down a few bites of food and rushed out.
“You child, why only two bites?
Take this sandwich and eat it on the way!”
Ye Yue Ling’s mother, Ye Yue Qing, said as she straightened his clothes and stuffed a freshly made sandwich into his hand.
“Mother, I’m leaving!”
Ye Yue Ling took the sandwich and headed out with Motoi and Killer Bee.
Ye Yue Ling had met Motoi and Killer Bee half a year ago.
Half a year ago…
Ye Yue Ling was training alone when he suddenly heard a rustle in the bushes behind him.
“Who’s back there!”
Ye Yue Ling turned around and shouted.
“Yo, yo, Motoi, you idiot, you bastard, you got caught even while hiding in the bushes!”
“Killer Bee, if it weren’t for you constantly singing those nonsensical lyrics in my ear, how could I have been discovered!”
Motoi said, flushed with embarrassment and anger.
“Sorry, we saw someone training every day and got curious, so we wanted to follow and take a look!”
After scolding Killer Bee, Motoi immediately turned to apologize to Ye Yue Ling.
Killer Bee?
Motoi?
Killer Bee was the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in the original story, the brother of the Fourth Raikage.
However, with him here, Killer Bee probably wouldn’t become brothers with the Fourth Raikage.
Motoi seemed to be able to summon hawks.
Ye Yue Ling didn’t actually know much about Motoi; he only knew that Motoi once wanted to kill Killer Bee but eventually gave up.
“It’s fine.
Why don’t you guys train with me?
Training by myself is quite boring anyway.”
Ye Yue Ling issued an invitation with a smile.
Thus, over the following half-year, Killer Bee, Motoi, and Ye Yue Ling built a friendship.
Back to the present.
Ye Yue Ling and his two companions arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy.
A Ninja Academy teacher wearing a flak jacket was at the entrance conducting registrations.
“Hello, we are new students reporting for this term.
I am Ye Yue Ling!”
“Yo, yo, this great me is Killer Bee!”
“I am Motoi!”
The Ninja Academy teacher in the flak jacket looked up at Ye Yue Ling.
“Ye Yue?
You’re Lord Third Raikage’s son, Ye Yue Ling?”
“Yes.”
The Ninja Academy teacher in the flak jacket rummaged through a cabinet and pulled out the Ninja Academy identification tags for Killer Bee, Motoi, and Ye Yue Ling.
“You three, make sure to keep these identification tags safe.
Don’t lose them.
If you do, you’ll have to go to Lord Raikage to report it for a replacement.”
“Yes!”
“Yo, yo, ID tag, can’t lose it!”
“Understood!”
After tucking away their identification tags, the three of them walked into the Ninja Academy.
At this time, the Ninja Academy had a total of three classes.
And the three of them were quite lucky, being assigned to the same class.
“Yo, yo, is this where this great me is going to school!”
Ye Yue Ling ignored Killer Bee’s rapping and led Motoi and Killer Bee straight into the classroom.
The classroom was very noisy.
It was full of children playing around.
Ye Yue Ling found a spot by the wall and sat down, while Killer Bee and Motoi sat next to him.
After a while…
“Quiet.”
This was the voice of the Ninja Academy teacher.
“I am your teacher, my name is Daika.
I will be teaching you for the next six years.
Next, I want you to come up, introduce yourselves, and bravely state your dreams!”
“Starting from the first person in the first row!”
“My name is Irei.
I hope to become the Fourth Raikage and lead the Village to surpass Konoha!”
This six-year-old child named Irei seemed to have a fire in his eyes.
“Very good, Irei.
You have a great dream.
I hope you can successfully become the Raikage in the future!”
“My name is Kapeti.
My dream is to become a female medical Jonin and treat the wounded!”
“Kapeti, I believe you can definitely succeed in your dream.
However, to become a medical Jonin, you must study the knowledge of the human body in your books thoroughly.”
“My name is…”
“My name is Ye Yue Ling.
My dream is to defeat everyone who wants to destroy our home and create a peaceful Hidden Cloud Village!”
“Ye Yue Ling, your dream is excellent.
I also hope you can achieve it.
I hope you truly can in the future; I have high expectations for you!”
Daika felt most strongly about peace because Ninja Academy teachers were mostly those who had retired after the First Ninja World War.
They had all been to the battlefield and seen blood and tears, making them yearn for peace even more.
“Yo, yo, this great me hopes everyone likes my rap and to create a stage where the whole world can hear my rap, yeah!”
“…Killer Bee’s dream is…
very original.”
“My dream is to contract the strongest Summoning Beast!”
“Motoi, I hope you encounter such a Summoning Beast in the future.
But you must know, Summoning Beasts are also picky about their masters.
If you are too weak, a powerful Summoning Beast won’t acknowledge you.
So to achieve this, you must work doubly hard.”
“Alright, I’ve heard everyone’s self-introductions.
Some want to be Raikage, some want to be Jonin, some want to live happily with their families, and some want to create peace!”
“Although your dreams are all different, I firmly believe you can all succeed.
You are still young and have infinite possibilities.
As long as you work hard toward your goals, I believe you will definitely succeed!”
“Alright, now let’s begin the lesson!”
Divider…
“This is so boring, Bee, Ling.”
Motoi secretly poked Killer Bee and Ye Yue Ling.
“I think it’s boring too.
It’s been a month since school started, and it’s always theoretical knowledge.
When will it end?”
“Yo, yo, this great me hates theory classes the most!”
“Why don’t we skip class!”
Motoi said.
“Skip?
How?”
“We can leave a Clone Technique behind and then run out!
As long as the teacher doesn’t stare at us for a long time, he won’t notice!”
“Sounds doable.
Let’s try it tomorrow!”
“Yo, yo, Motoi, so smart, Clone Technique, trick the teacher!”
The three of them whispered among themselves, planning to skip class tomorrow to train outside.
They really didn’t want to listen to theoretical knowledge anymore.
After deciding how to skip class tomorrow, the three of them began to listen attentively.
They thought to themselves that since it was the ‘last time’ anyway, they’d give Daika some face.
After lecturing for a while, Daika saw the most mischievous trio suddenly listening obediently.
Feeling that his teaching was quite effective, he looked back at the three of them with satisfaction.
