The next day, Naruto got up bright and early.
Today was the day he was to report to the Ninja Academy.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Naruto headed toward the Ninja Academy.
Because Naruto had not appeared in public for four years, the legend of the Nine-Tailed had truly become a legend.
Danzo Shimura was so angry he smashed countless tables, but he had no way to approach Naruto.
After all, the Third Hokage kept him firmly in check; if he dared to reach out, the Third Hokage would immediately slap him back.
The Hokage Office had been the scene of countless standoffs.
Walking down the street, no one recognized Naruto at all, and he arrived at the Ninja Academy smoothly.
However, before he even entered the school gate, he saw a familiar figure under a tree outside.
“Gekkō Hayate-sensei?
Why are you here?”
The person was indeed Gekkō Hayate.
Seeing Naruto trot up to him, Gekkō Hayate reached out to ruffle Naruto’s hair and spoke with a smile.
“Just here to see you.
After all, today is your first day of school.”
Naruto was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile just like Minato Namikaze’s.
“Sensei, thank you.”
Gekkō Hayate smiled and led Naruto into the school.
Watching Naruto and Gekkō Hayate arrive together, the Third Hokage wore a gratified smile.
However, Naruto and Gekkō Hayate were not so happy.
Having experienced school principal speeches in his past life, Naruto knew exactly what the old man on the stage was about to do.
As for Gekkō Hayate, he had simply been tortured by the Third Hokage before.
Sure enough, when the opening ceremony was announced, the Third Hokage began the most authentic school principal speech.
“I’ll just say a few words here…
Let me add a couple more words…
Finally, I’ll talk about two points…”
The entire speech was full of nonsense, leaving both of them drowsy, as was the case for most of the other students.
Finally, after the Third Hokage had said enough, the students followed their homeroom teachers to the classrooms, while the parents left the school one after another.
“Naruto, study hard.
I’ll come see you again next time.”
“Okay, Gekkō Hayate-sensei.”
After saying goodbye to Gekkō Hayate, Naruto followed Iruka Umino into the classroom.
After entering the classroom, the first thing Naruto saw was Hyuga Hinata sitting in the corner.
His eyes lit up, and he went straight to sit beside Hinata.
“Hello there, we meet again.” Naruto greeted Hinata with a smile.
“Na, Naruto-kun, hello.” Hinata’s face was flushed red, her fingers twisting in front of her, and she snuck glances at Naruto beside her from time to time.
“Although I know you’re from the Hyuga Clan, I don’t know your name yet.
Could you tell me?”
Indeed, Hinata had never mentioned her name to Naruto.
The first time, after Naruto walked her home, he turned and ran.
The second time, after Naruto chased away the brats bullying Hinata, he had quite chuunibyou-ishly said: “My princess, your knight will protect you forever.
Please do not be afraid; I will always be by your side.”
Then, he left because it was almost time for training.
If he was late, Gekkō Hayate would whip him, in the name of combat training.
Both times, Hinata wanted to introduce herself, but this guy turned and ran, forcing the words on the tip of her tongue back down her throat.
“I, I am called Hyuga Hinata.
Please, please take care of me.” Hinata said timidly, her voice like a mosquito’s buzz.
If not for Naruto’s strength having increased and his hearing being much sharper, he might not have been able to hear her clearly.
“Princess Hinata, your knight pledges his loyalty to you.” Naruto acted out his delusion with a straight face.
Hinata could no longer handle the shyness; she turned into a steaming maiden and slumped onto the desk, motionless.
Sitting behind Naruto, Nara Shikamaru’s mouth twitched wildly.
Does this guy have something wrong with his brain?
Is this contagious?
Should I stay away from him?
In the end, laziness won out, and he did not choose to change seats.
Beside him, Akimichi Choji ignored everything outside and focused solely on munching chips from his bag.
At the front of the classroom, a cool little guy with black hair looked out the window with a cold expression, surrounded by a group of chattering girls.
Iruka looked at the chaotic class and felt exhausted.
The thought of having to lead this class for six years made him even more tired, especially since that guy was in the class.
Iruka looked at Naruto, who was grinning and teasing Hinata, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
In the end, his duty as a teacher prevailed, and he began to restore discipline in the class before arranging for the students to introduce themselves.
After everyone had finished their introductions, the formal class began.
Halfway through the class, Naruto was already slumped on the desk, looking lifeless with dull eyes.
“Kurama, I don’t want to go to school.” Naruto’s consciousness slipped into the Sealing Space, where he hugged one of the fox’s tails, buried his head in it, and said gloomily.
“Then don’t.” After saying this, the fox grabbed a whole roasted lamb from a grill as tall as a person, threw it into his mouth, and took a sip of Erguotou, looking completely satisfied.
“But I can’t just not go to school; the old man Third Hokage will definitely give me trouble.” Naruto grabbed another of the fox’s tails, placed it under himself, and positioned himself between the two tails.
“Tsk, brats are such a hassle.”
“Hey, you eat my food and drink my drinks, yet you talk to me like that.
Doesn’t your conscience hurt?” Naruto sat up and pointed at the fox.
“I don’t have such a thing.” The fox glanced at Naruto with disdain and continued eating meat and drinking.
“You!
You!” Naruto pointed angrily at the Nine-Tailed.
What was going on with this thick-skinned fox?
He clearly remembered it wasn’t like this before.
“Are your Shadow Clones just for show?
Can’t you send a Shadow Clone to go to school for you?” The Nine-Tailed glanced at the Shadow Clones still working hard and said.
But as soon as it finished speaking, it saw Naruto looking at it with an extremely strange expression, which left it very confused.
Immediately after, three more gazes fell upon it, making the whole fox shiver.
As it turned its head, it saw those three working Shadow Clones stop, staring at it without blinking.
“…Ahem, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
The whole morning passed with Naruto in a daze.
Honestly, regarding what the Ninja Academy taught, if one wanted to be Hokage, they might need to learn more, but he had absolutely no intention of doing that.
Judging by Naruto’s sickly appearance in Boruto, being Hokage is a job even a dog wouldn’t want.
He had only one goal: to slaughter gods.
After all, that group of Ōtsutsuki Clan members who called themselves gods clearly didn’t want him to live out his old age in peace.
Since that was the case, he had no choice but to slaughter them all.
As for that pseudo-god senior brother, emmm, I’ll go check on him when I have time.
“No, I can’t go on like this.
It’s too much of a waste of time.”
After lunch, Naruto decided to run away.
Whoever wants to attend this lousy school can go ahead; he was done with it.
After greeting Hinata, he rushed straight out of the school gate, leaving Hinata, who was still eating, completely dumbfounded.
By the time she came to her senses, Naruto was already gone.
Looking at the large table of food Naruto had brought out, Hinata fell into deep thought.
Meanwhile, the old man Third Hokage watched Naruto leave the school through his crystal ball and immediately felt his blood pressure rise again, so he hurriedly took out his blood pressure medication and popped two pills.
Beside him, Gekkō Hayate’s mouth twitched.
He was here today to join the Anbu, and since the Third Hokage happened to be watching Naruto through the crystal ball, he had come over to take a look as well.
This brat, skipping class on the very first day—if I didn’t know your identity, I’d really suspect you were my brother.
Well, this guy had also skipped class before, and was later caught by Yūgao Uzuki, who dragged him back to school by his ear.
Arriving at the training ground, Naruto created a Shadow Clone to practice swordsmanship, while he began physical training.
During the afternoon class, looking at the empty seat, Iruka felt completely numb.
No, skipping class on the first day?
What’s the meaning of this?
Are you looking down on me?
Iruka suppressed his urge to go berserk and continued the class, planning to talk to the Third Hokage about this after class.
However, when he arrived at the Hokage Office, he saw that besides the Third Hokage, two other people were there.
They were none other than Uzumaki Naruto and Gekkō Hayate.
At this moment, Naruto was arguing with Gekkō Hayate about something, but judging from Gekkō Hayate’s expression, he seemed to be the one losing the argument.
The old man Third Hokage sat at his desk, rubbing his temples with a helpless expression.
“I’ve already said it, why do I need to learn that stuff?
In the time it takes to calculate shuriken angles, I would have already rushed up and hacked the person to death.”
“Heh, are you good at fighting?
What’s the use of being good at fighting?
Ninjas rely on intelligence, not on whether you can fight!
Concealment, gathering intelligence, and killing with one strike are what Ninjas should do, not rushing head-on like a brute and slashing with a sword.”
“But, if I can clearly hack the person to death head-on, why waste the time to gather intelligence?”
“There will always be someone you can’t beat, right?”
“Then I just need to become strong enough that no one can defeat me, right?”
“You!”
Iruka was stunned listening to this; it was his first time seeing such a perspective.
Of course, he didn’t know that if Uchiha Madara heard these words, he would definitely give Naruto a thumbs up.
In the end, the Third Hokage made the final decision: he must attend school in the morning.
As for the afternoon, it depended on Iruka’s ability.
If he could handle it, that would be best; if not, and Naruto left the school, then so be it.
Iruka was full of confidence about this.
After all, in his view, Naruto was just a six-year-old brat, and he was a Chunin, so there was no way he would fail.
As for Gekkō Hayate, he was looking at Iruka with some sympathy.
Others might not know, but he was very clear about the situation with this little monster.
If he didn’t use his sword, the current Naruto might not be able to beat Iruka, but if he wanted to run, Iruka would definitely not be able to catch him.
This brat had too many tricks, and he himself had suffered losses when sparring with him.
But whatever, anyway, Iruka would be the one suffering.
As long as it wasn’t him going to catch the kid, he didn’t care what happened.
