"The days of slacking off are going to be far away again."
Konoha, inside the teachers' office of the ninja school.
Sawada Hagoromo, wearing a chunin vest, leaned by the window, looking at the dense crowd of new students and parents at the school gate and said with emotion.
He transmigrated here 17 years ago, born into an ordinary family that had existed since the founding of Konoha village.
'Anyone who transmigrates either gets a cheat ability or a good bloodline family, but when it came to me I became a poor little nobody.' Hagoromo complained in his heart once again.
The Naruto world itself is not a safe world, and it is also a world where a group of lunatics and obsessive people hold power.
Coming here, Hagoromo decided that if he cannot win, then lie low.
And the best place for that is the ninja school, after all even a small chunin without strong power like Iruka Umino could safely live until the final ending.
So, after accumulating enough mission indicators and becoming a chunin for some time, Hagoromo kept sending job application messages to the Hokage office.
Until two years ago, maybe there just happened to be a vacancy, but Hagoromo felt it was more likely that the Third Hokage got a bit annoyed by him.
Hagoromo finally honorably became a teacher working at Konoha Ninja School.
'Hm?'
Still recalling the past, Hagoromo suddenly turned his head to look at the office door behind him.
The next second, Umino Iruka with a high ponytail and a scar across his nose pushed open the office door and walked in.
"Hagoromo, knew you would be here."
Iruka walked in with a helpless look, came beside Hagoromo and looked at the lively scene at the school gate.
Hagoromo smiled, nodded in greeting and said, "What is it, Iruka? Shouldn't you be accompanying the Third Lord to welcome the new students now?"
The current principal of the ninja school is the Third Hokage, usually he only comes at the start of school to instill the Will of Fire.
"The Third Lord asked me to find you, this year you should about be ready to try leading a new student class."
Iruka pointed at the busy figure of the Third downstairs while speaking.
"Me?" Hagoromo pointed at himself a bit unbelievingly and said.
You must know that during these two years of work, he was almost always just an ordinary subject teacher, and the head teachers of ninja classes were almost always personally decided by the Third.
Although it is not wartime now, almost all of the new generation study at the ninja school.
Even the direct descendants of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans have gradually started enrolling in the ninja school in recent years.
And being able to serve as a head teacher must be someone recognized by the Hokage.
Of course… it should be said those with a strong Will of Fire have the chance.
"Yes, your effort has been seen by the Hokage." Iruka said seriously, then patted Hagoromo's shoulder encouragingly.
Hagoromo instantly stared blankly, quickly recalling everything he had done over these two years.
During class, he encouraged students using the Will of Fire speeches the Third often repeated again and again.
After class, he checked classrooms layer by layer to prevent some students from hiding at school instead of going home.
Usually when free, he helped other teachers prepare lessons and educated naughty students to study well.
The more he thought, the more his scalp tingled. Wait, I just did the normal responsible work a teacher from my previous life should do.
'This should not be it, makes no sense…'
So following the way teachers worked in my previous life actually made me gain the Hokage's recognition?
'No, something is off.' Hagoromo suddenly felt his throat dry.
Probably the so called observation already started when he did not know.
It was just that he was too cautious and passed safely without knowing.
'Hiss… my alertness should not be this bad, right?'
"Hm? What's wrong? Hagoromo."
Iruka, who had been gentle, saw Hagoromo's increasingly strange expression and quickly asked with concern.
Only then did Hagoromo snap back, adjusted his expression, put on a warm smile, waved his hand to show he was fine.
"It's nothing, just worried I might not do well."
"Hagoromo really is a good teacher. Relax, you will definitely manage."
Iruka beside him heard this and could not help grinning brightly while speaking.
Hagoromo felt a bit helpless. If he passed, Iruka probably also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
"Let's go, it should be starting soon."
Hagoromo stopped thinking more, pushed Iruka and walked toward the playground.
When they reached the playground, many teachers were already standing near the stage, and the Third Hokage in the Hokage robe was already on the stage.
Hagoromo and Iruka found a nearby place to stand.
As everyone gradually gathered, the Third Hokage began the once per semester speech.
Time passed second by second. The new students who were excited at first gradually started to look a bit downcast.
Mainly because the Third's speech was too long, and it was also the hottest time of the sun.
Even the teachers near the stage, although expressionless, looked somewhat distracted.
Only Hagoromo and Iruka looked energized while watching the Third Hokage, as if everything the Hokage said was absolute truth.
Anyone who has worked like a beast knows the workplace rule, when the boss speaks you must support it, even your expression must be in place.
But Hagoromo below the stage felt his facial muscles almost stiff. This time the Third's speech was longer than every previous time.
His gaze casually swept over the new students below. A striking patch of yellow hair made Hagoromo pause for a moment, then he calmly moved his gaze away.
'Is that Uzumaki Naruto?'
Hagoromo could not help feeling curious. After all, yellow hair is not rare in Konoha.
'But what year is it in Konoha now, seems like year 58.'
Thinking this, Hagoromo pretended to finish observing the new students and continued looking at the Third on stage.
But his mind kept searching information.
Konoha year 58, the future twelve rookies, the new generation Ino-Shika-Cho, the Uchiha clan, the Hyuga clan, and Uzumaki Naruto will all enroll.
At this time point, the Third letting him lead a class feels somewhat unclear in meaning.
Just as Hagoromo was thinking how to deal with it, a voice without any emotion sounded.
A half transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of him, the text on it scrolling continuously and stimulating his vision.
[Detected sufficient time in proximity to Children of Fortune (two), system activation conditions met.]
[Ninja Teacher System activated]
[After teaching students, rewards will be given based on comprehensive evaluation of student learning results and satisfaction. Higher evaluation, higher reward]
[If a single student meets requirements, they can be accepted as a disciple. Growth in disciple strength gives synchronized rewards to the teacher]
After confirming that people around could not see the panel in front of him, emotions surged in Hagoromo's heart.
'This damn system! Does it know how I lived all these years?'
And the activation conditions are so complicated. Naruto has dual protagonists.
Whether Naruto or Sasuke, at this time the chance of approaching both at once is almost zero.
For the first, if you seem even slightly off, the ANBU can make you disappear humanely.
For the second, not even mentioning the clan behind him, just Uchiha Itachi, known as a crazy brother lover, could send him straight to the sky.
Thanks to the Third. If not for him wanting to brainwash the new generation, he probably would not know how long the system would take to activate.
The Third, still speaking, suddenly felt a burning gaze. Looking over, he saw admiration in Hagoromo's eyes almost overflowing.
His mood instantly improved, and he talked even more without stopping. Some teachers who noticed could not help cursing in their hearts.
