April, year 31 of Konoha.
At the entrance of the Ninja Academy, there was a sea of people, mostly parents accompanying their children, and a small number of children who came alone…
Today was the opening day of the Ninja Academy; famous clan scions from Konoha and children with ninja aptitude would all be sent to the Ninja Academy for six years of study…
Click…
The Ninja Academy's gate opened, and the parents nodded slightly to their children, signaling that they could enter.
Soon, the students who were to enroll walked into the Ninja Academy. According to the Ninja Academy teachers, before officially entering their classes, these new students needed to attend an opening ceremony.
The so-called opening ceremony was nothing more than standing on the Ninja Academy's playground, lining up according to height, and then listening to the Third Hokage, wearing his Hokage robes, give a speech about the fire will…
The title of 'Kage' represents the highest honor in the village. The Third Hokage's willingness to personally speak to these new generation about the fire will was enough to make these little ones excited and thrilled. Their immature hearts were easily instilled with the fire will by Sarutobi Hiruzen…
This was also the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen held such an 'opening ceremony' at the beginning of each Ninja Academy term.
The two-hour-long speech on the fire will finally ended, but Sarutobi Hiruzen still looked as if he was enjoying it. If it weren't for time constraints, he probably could have talked for half a day without a problem…
After the speech, these new students were led away by the Ninja Academy teachers under Sarutobi Hiruzen's benevolent gaze and then took their seats according to their pre-assigned classes.

A male with white eyes and blue-white hair, dressed in a kimono, sat quietly in the back of the classroom by the window. His gaze drifted out the window, exuding a gentle and refined aura that made the girls around him involuntarily look his way…
"Cough cough…"
At this moment, the instructing teacher, who had walked to the podium at some unknown point, coughed, drawing the students' attention, and then began to introduce himself to them.
"I am Otani Yuto, a Chunin. From today onwards, I will be the homeroom teacher for you forty-odd students for the next six years…"
Otani Yuto, a plain-looking middle-aged male, smiled and said, "My hobbies are reading and soaking in hot springs, and my dream is to teach excellent students…"
"…Now, let's start with the first student in the first row on the left for self-introductions…"
Then, Otani Yuto gestured for the students to introduce themselves one by one.
"I am Kitamura Yusuke. I don't have any particular hobbies for now, but my dream is to become a great ninja like the Hokage!"
The pale-faced student shouted in a deep voice, as if that was the only way to show his determination.
"What a remarkable dream!"
Otani Yuto took a deep look at the student named Kitamura Yusuke, gave him a verbal encouragement, and then motioned for him to sit down, allowing the student next to him to continue introducing himself…
In fact, Otani Yuto, as the homeroom teacher, had already thoroughly understood the background of all the students present before the school year began. For Kitamura Yusuke, this frail orphan, becoming a Chunin in the future was already his limit. Of course, Otani Yuto would not tell him this so directly…
Next, the students in the class began to introduce themselves one by one, and soon it was the turn of the last three.
"Hello everyone, I am Hua Jingfeng. I like planting flowers and taking walks, and my dream is to become an excellent female ninja…"
Hua Jingfeng was a shy and cute little female. When she smiled, a pair of dimples would appear on her face, coupled with her small fangs, immediately capturing the affection of many male students, including Otani Yuto, the homeroom teacher.
As the students' warm applause died down, Hua Jingfeng quietly sat down, and the student next to her immediately stood up and began to introduce herself.
"I am Uchiha Mingxi. What I like is challenging the strong and exhilarating battles. I hate cowards and the weak. As for my dream and interests, it's to defeat him!"
Uchiha Mingxi gently stroked the hair falling by her ear while looking provocatively at the white-eyed male by the window. Her black pupils were filled with a desire for battle, making her look nothing like a six-year-old little female, but rather like a young female Tyrannosaurus.
"Hey! This is going to be good…"
As Uchiha Mingxi's voice fell, some of the children from ninja clans immediately had this schadenfreude thought.
Uchiha and Hyuga, as the two great noble families of Konoha, both wanted to become the number one noble family in Konoha. Therefore, members of both families competed with each other, both openly and secretly. This unspoken rivalry would clearly continue in the Ninja Academy…
The white-eyed male merely looked up at the Uchiha female and did not pay her any mind.
Uchiha Mingxi saw this and was very dissatisfied with the white-eyed male's reaction. She let out a heavy snort before turning her head and sitting down.
"Cough cough…, Mingxi has finished her introduction, so it's your turn, Ketsuna."
Otani Yuto coughed again, then spoke to the male next to Uchiha Mingxi.
The male named Hyuga Yuzuru naturally stood up after hearing this.
"I am Hyuga Yuzuru. I don't have anything I particularly like or dislike. As for dreams, I haven't thought of one yet. I'll tell everyone when I do…"
Hyuga Yuzuru's calm words undoubtedly surprised the students present. He had just been provoked by Uchiha Mingxi, yet he showed no sign of anger at all.
After introducing himself, Ketsuna ignored the reactions of the homeroom teacher and his classmates and directly sat down. His pure white eyes once again looked out the window, giving off a sense of aloofness and cold arrogance. This demeanor attracted the attention of most of the girls in the class. Of course, except for Uchiha Mingxi…
"Ketsuna's demeanor is truly captivating…"
"I really want to sit next to Ketsuna… but I guess Mingxi wouldn't agree…"
"Hua Jingfeng's seat is also very good, even though there's Mingxi between her and Ketsuna…"
"…"
Otani Yuto secretly glanced at Hyuga Yuzuru and Uchiha Mingxi, these two scions of great families sitting close by, and felt a sudden sense of helplessness. A heavy pressure fell on his shoulders. He was just a small, ordinary Chunin in the village with teaching qualifications. It would probably be very difficult for him to control these two little ones in the future!
But no matter what, he still had to do his best to teach them…
Otani Yuto thought to himself.
