September 10th…
On this nightmarish day, Jin once again embarked on his studies.
"Have you brought your kunai and rice balls?"
Mighty looked at the well-prepared Jin and repeatedly instructed him, "The Ninja Academy is full of children from powerful clans, so don't cause trouble."
Jin nodded helplessly. Did Mighty think he was a troublemaker?
He was a pacifist; he wouldn't offend others unless provoked! If someone did…
Soon, Tsunade arrived as promised. Today, Tsunade was dressed exceptionally cute. Her two spiky pigtails perfectly matched her assertive personality, and her pink dress was fluffy and flowing, her faint blush as alluring as a red apple.
"Let's go, let's go to school together!"
Tsunade pulled Jin along, saying as they walked, "I heard Second Grandfather is coming back today…"
Tobirama Senju is coming back?
Jin narrowed his eyes. Hashirama Senju had retired, and the Second Hokage Tobirama was now in power. He hadn't expected that the First Shinobi World War would be so intense that Tobirama Senju would have to rush back from the battlefield.
Thinking of this, Jin involuntarily shrank back. He just hoped Tobirama wouldn't take him to heart, otherwise he'd be truly in trouble this time. Leading Tsunade into the abyss of gambling was a matter of varying severity depending on the person…
However, when Tsunade led Jin to the gate of the Ninja Academy, all the memories from his past flooded back. In front of the Ninja Academy, the enormous locust tree stretched its trunk, a small swing hanging from its thick bark.
"So, this swing has been here for so long…"
Jin couldn't help but sigh. In his previous life, reading the manga, he had felt a deep connection to this place. It was the most famous backdrop for Naruto Uzumaki when he was alone. All the other children had been picked up by their parents, only Naruto, possessing the power of the fox demon, sat alone on the swing.
"Let's go in,"
Tsunade tugged at Jin.
"Hmm, let's go in..."
Jin snapped out of his reverie and strode into the Ninja Academy, secretly resolving:
Naruto, I've read your story. Now that I'm here, I'll create a completely different one!
Jin laughed as he entered the Ninja Academy...
"So you're happy just because you sneaked into the school using underhanded methods?"
Tobirama Senju stared coldly at Jin. Beside him were several familiar faces. The Third Hokage in his youth—Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the future master of Root, the backstabber of Konoha—Danzo!
They were all graduates of the academy's first class, and both would become indispensable figures in Konoha!
Jin never imagined he would be so unlucky. He bumped into Tobirama Senju, who had just returned, as soon as he entered the school.
However, it seemed that Tobirama Senju's first impression of Jin was far from good, or rather, disgusting. In the eyes of the upright Tobirama Senju, Jin was nothing but an opportunist and shameless scoundrel. If it weren't for his elder brother, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju would never have allowed a parasite like Jin to enter the Ninja Academy.
Jin didn't argue about this misunderstanding.
He knew that such prejudiced impressions were pointless to discuss!
Seeing Vuuven's silence, Tobirama Senju didn't care, assuming Jin was intimidated, and left with a shrug. Hiruzen Sarutobi, on the other hand, smiled amicably at Jin, while Danzo didn't even glance at him.
Only after everyone else had gone inside did Jin follow them into the academy.
He had gone to great lengths to enter the Ninja Academy, and naturally wouldn't leave because of a few harsh words.
On the contrary, the more others looked down on him, the more determined he was to push himself to the limit and show everyone who the true ninja was!
"Just wait and see, my name will soon resound throughout this land!"
