So the question arises: who represents the village (collective), and who represents the individual?
Therefore, if there is only an ideological outline but no standardized action guidelines, the entire content of The Will of Fire appears somewhat empty and grandiose.
Given the constant warfare, it's normal that their ideological and cultural education was inadequate.
The ninja academy distributes a lot of textbooks, all of which are available from the first to the sixth grade. If a student has exceptional self-study skills and is talented enough, graduating from the ninja academy within a year is indeed feasible.
Aside from ideological textbooks like the Will of Fire, the remaining books cover the knowledge a proper ninja should possess, such as "Chakra Analysis," "An Introduction to Genjutsu," "Basic Three Body Techniques," "Introduction to Talismans," "The Twelve Hand Seals," "Mathematics and Ninja Tools," "Common Poisons," and "Codes and Secrecy"...
With the An Yan system at his disposal, opening these books is like clicking on a skill book in a game; the system panel automatically unfolds before his eyes.
Chakra Analysis learning progress 7%...14%...28%...100%, you have received systematic learning and can use chakra for simple attack and defense.
"A Brief Introduction to Illusion" Learning progress: 7%... 36%... 67%... 100%. You have received systematic learning and mastered basic visual illusions, allowing you to alter your surroundings on a small scale.
"Introduction to Talismans" learning progress: 8%...46%...87%...100%. You have received systematic learning and mastered basic sealing techniques, which can seal an opponent's chakra for a short period of time.
After quickly flipping through several textbooks, An Yan understood all the knowledge instantly under the system's power, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind. In the blink of an eye, An Yan became an all-around genin. If combat power were not a consideration, he could apply for graduation immediately.
An Yan's fingers trembled slightly as he muttered to himself, "If only I had had a system back in school. I could have just skimmed through it, and before I even understood it, the system would have helped me comprehend the knowledge and memorized it. Getting into Tsinghua or Peking University would have been a piece of cake."
Programmers, medical students, and law students are going to cry! With this system in hand, they can say goodbye to the worry of going bald!
As An Yan read the skill book, Tsunade frowned, her delicate and pretty face full of doubt, and she tilted her head to look at An Yan.
In Tsunade's eyes, An Yan was constantly and rapidly flipping through the books, skimming them and reading ten lines at a glance. She didn't even have time to see the contents of the pages clearly before several pages had already been turned over. Yet, An Yan looked thoughtful, as if he had already gained some insights.
Is he faking it? Can anyone really get into a book that quickly?
Although they had only just met, An Yan didn't seem to be the kind of pretentious, childish guy who tried to attract girls' attention.
Tsunade, puzzled, reached out and pressed down on An Yan's hand as he turned the pages of the book.
An Yan, who was flipping through a book, suddenly stopped with a puzzled look on his face, turned to look at Tsunade, and a big question mark almost appeared above his head.
"You really took it to heart?"
Tsunade asked An Yan with a serious expression.
"Otherwise what?" An Yan retorted.
Tsunade didn't believe it and grabbed the book that An Yan had just been flipping through, intending to test him. An Yan shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
What does the "child seal" represent in ninjutsu?
Tsunade sat opposite An Yan, her eyes fixed on him.
"The child seal symbolizes the beginning and is associated with water release. It is often used to activate water release ninjutsu, implying the accumulation of power in stillness and a sudden burst of power."
An Yan formed a sword finger with his right hand and covered it with a tiger claw with his left hand, creating a hand seal, and answered Tsunade's question with a smile.
"Not printed yet?"
Tsunade squinted and asked.
"The unmarked symbol represents a sheep, which is associated with the soul and illusion. This mark is often used in illusion magic."
An Yan formed an unformed hand seal, mobilized his chakra, and cast a simple genjutsu. His appearance was immediately enhanced by several layers of filters, and his whole body glowed slightly.
What does the "戌印" (Xu Seal) represent?
Tsunade stared intently at An Yan.
"The Xu Seal represents the dog, symbolizing eternity and sealing. Almost all sealing techniques end with the Xu Seal."
An Yan made a Xu seal gesture and placed a palm on Tsunade's shoulder.
Tsunade suddenly felt numb and weak all over, unable to mobilize her chakra. Before she could even panic, she felt herself regain her mobility in the blink of an eye.
What is this? A sealing technique? You learned it just by looking at it once?
Tsunade took a deep breath and threw the book onto the table.
"This is boring, I'm not playing anymore."
It's no challenge for him at all! It seems An Yan is a true genius, and Tsunade can't help but feel immense pressure.
As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, not only the entire Senju clan eagerly awaited her arrival, hoping she could shoulder the responsibility of protecting Konoha, but the eyes of the other ninja clans in the village were also fixed on her.
As a result, Tsunade felt completely overwhelmed when she encountered such a perverted deskmate right after entering school.
It seems like academic subjects are going to be tough, but thankfully there are still practical combat classes where we can test our skills. Although An Yan is a genius, he's a commoner ninja and probably doesn't know any advanced ninjutsu, so I have a good chance of defeating him.
Tsunade silently waved her little fists to cheer herself up, while An Yan kept his eyes fixed on Tsunade's waving fists, afraid that she might accidentally hit him.
An Yan was particularly impressed by Tsunade's superhuman strength. In the original work, Jiraiya once said that when he was young, he peeked at Tsunade taking a bath and was punched more than 100 meters away by Tsunade, which was quite outrageous.
An Yan made up his mind that he would never provoke Tsunade again. He didn't have Jiraiya's thick skin and was too fragile. If he took a punch, Tsunade would probably kneel down and beg him not to die.
Chapter 4 Self-introduction
Just as Tsunade was in a state of self-isolation and trying to encourage herself, a childish voice rang out.
"Can I sit here?"
An Yan turned his head and looked over. In the aisle outside Tsunade's house, a white-haired little boy was pointing to the last seat at the three-person table and asking the two of them a question.
An Yan's gaze narrowed slightly. White hair, and a boy at that. Was it Jiraiya? It didn't seem like it. He didn't have spiky hair, and there was no face paint.
Tsunade looked around and noticed that while she and An Yan were chatting, all the seats in the classroom were full, but everyone had tacitly avoided her seat.
Tsunade glanced at An Yan, who nodded to indicate that he had no objections. Tsunade then asked the white-haired boy to sit down.
The white-haired boy breathed a sigh of relief after sitting down. He was the last person the teacher called out when assigning classes. After entering the classroom, he was dismayed to find that he no longer had the right to choose a seat. There was only one seat waiting for him in the whole class. Looking at the Senju clan crest embroidered on Tsunade's clothes, he could only bite the bullet and walk over. Fortunately, Tsunade did not have the arrogance of those powerful ninja clans, otherwise he would not know what to do.
An Yan found the white-haired boy's cautious manner somewhat amusing. He leaned over the table and communicated with the boy, bypassing Tsunade.
"Nice to meet you. I'm An Yan. May I ask your name?"
Upon hearing An Yan's question, the boy's anxiety slowly dissipated, and he leaned on the table, replying to An Yan in a low voice.
"Hello An Yan, I am Bei Liu Hu."
So it was you, kid. An Yan felt both surprised and somewhat unsurprised.
There weren't many ninjas from the same era as the Sannin, and Hiruko was one of them. He was also friends with the Sannin, but being from an ordinary commoner background, his talent was mediocre compared to the Sannin. Unwilling to accept this, he started doing scientific research and developed a forbidden technique—the Oni-Garra Technique. This forbidden technique allowed him to fuse with five Bloodstained Ninjas and become the Kamui of the New World.
So this kid jumped out and became the boss of a movie episode. The ending is self-evident: he died under Naruto Uzumaki's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
As An Yan remembered who this guy was, he didn't forget to greet Hiruko. Tsunade naturally joined in, and the three of them quickly became acquainted.
At that moment, the entire classroom fell silent, and An Yan and the others subconsciously stopped talking.
As the classroom fell silent, an ordinary-looking young teacher walked in. He saw the forty-two students sitting neatly in the classroom and nodded in satisfaction.
The young teacher walked up to the podium, first wrote his name on the blackboard—Sato Taiji—before turning around and starting to speak loudly.
"Hello everyone, I am Sato Taiji. From today until you graduate and become ninjas, I will be your homeroom teacher. Now, let's begin the fun self-introduction session for new students. Let's start from the right and go one by one. First, tell us your name, then tell us your hobbies and future dreams."
Sato Taiji casually pointed, and the child on the far right of the front row stood up and began to introduce himself.
"My name is Nobita. I like Shizuka, I hate Gian, and my dream is to become the world's richest man."
"My name is Suneo. I like Gian, I hate Nobita, and my dream is to inherit the family business and become a boss."
"My name is Shizuka. I like Suneo, I hate Gian, and my dream is to be a full-time housewife."
As An Yan listened to these people's dreams and preferences, he felt that their relationships were somewhat chaotic. However, since they had embarked on the path of ninjas, it seemed a bit inappropriate for them to dream of becoming outstanding among ordinary people.
In the future, this chaotic ninja world will face three more Shinobi World Wars in my lifetime, not to mention the various minor conflicts between the major ninja villages. I don't know how long these classmates in front of me will live.
Previously, An Yan had complained that The Will of Fire resembled a pyramid scheme. The way these students were talking about their dreams did indeed give off a vibe of a pyramid scheme holding a large meeting. If they kept repeating these dreams every day, it would look even more like one.
"My name is Tsunade. I like gambling. I don't have any dislikes. My dream is to travel the world and win at every casino in the world."
An Yan snapped out of his reverie and raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Tsunade's dream. With Tsunade's unpredictable luck in gambling, winning at the casino near her home would be difficult enough, let alone at casinos around the world. It seemed that her dream could only remain a dream.
"You can't travel the world without strong capabilities."
After hearing Tsunade's self-introduction, Sato-sensei gave a brief comment and then looked at An-yan.
An Yan stood up and began to introduce himself loudly.
"My name is An Yan. I like reading and music. I don't have anything I particularly dislike. My dream is to pacify the chaotic world and become a figure like the First Hokage."
An Yan's words caused a stir in the classroom, and the students began to whisper among themselves. Becoming Hokage was not something that could be said casually. Once it was said, if one did something shameful in the future, they would be ridiculed by those in the know.
As the crowd discussed, a glint flashed in An Yan's eyes, and lines of semi-transparent blue text appeared out of sight of others.
"You dream of becoming Hokage? That's a really great dream."
Sato Taiji gave a brief comment and then looked at the next student. He had heard too many dreams of becoming Hokage. In every grade and class, there were always a few students who dreamed of becoming Hokage.
It's easy to talk about your dreams, but hard to make them a reality.
An Yan sat down and listened to the other students introduce themselves. His seat was in the second to last row, which meant that there were only a few students who hadn't introduced themselves yet. In less than a minute, the remaining students had also finished their self-introductions.
Strangely, apart from Tsunade and Hiruko, there were no other familiar names in the entire class. Orochimaru and Jiraiya were not even in this class. It seems that the so-called Legendary Sannin of Konoha must have officially met after graduating and becoming Genin.
Coming to his senses, An Yan found Tsunade staring blankly at him, seemingly lost in thought. He smiled at her, and Tsunade, seeing An Yan's gentle smile, immediately snapped out of her daze and returned his bright smile.
The first lesson consisted of a simple self-introduction, followed by some rambling from Mr. Sato, a brief look at the future, and a few games to liven up the classroom atmosphere.
It must be said that Mr. Sato is quite capable. After playing a few classroom games, the teacher and students became very familiar with each other. Even Hiruko was less reserved and was able to relax a little.
Chapter 5 Lottery
Time flies, and the first class ended quickly.
When Ms. Sato announced that the afternoon would be a break and classes would officially begin tomorrow, the entire classroom erupted in cheers.
Looking at the noisy children, Sato Taiji smiled slightly, picked up the materials he had organized, and quickly walked out of the classroom.
No sooner had the teacher left than An Yan opened the window and jumped out. Tsunade saw this and wanted to call out to An Yan, but hesitated. Before she could organize her thoughts, she saw An Yan's figure leap onto the roof and disappear from sight.
"Never mind! We'll talk about it next time."
Tsunade clenched her small fists in annoyance and swung them twice in the air. Hiruko, standing to the side, curled his lip, packed his things, and ran away. For him, being classmates with the Senju princess was quite stressful.
After one class, An Yan's reputation increased by more than 30 points, approaching the 50 mark. There were 41 students in the class, excluding An Yan. It seems that more than half of the students remembered An Yan. The remaining students probably forgot about An Yan as soon as they heard about him and did not have any impression of him, so they did not gain any reputation.
After spreading the Will of Fire a few more times and announcing my desire to become Hokage, my reputation should soon break 100, at which point I can unlock the minimum level of prayers. I wonder what I'll get when I do.
The Tomb Raider banner is really something to look forward to. An Yan remembers that there was a prophet named Jacob in the Tomb Raider story who was immortal and had lived for thousands of years. If we could extract his immortality ability, that would be really nice.
