The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 104 Senior Brothers and Sisters

On his first day at the Ninja Academy, Chiyo did nothing.

I just wandered around a couple of times, familiarized myself with the school environment, and learned about the teaching methods.

The most important thing for the lower grades is to go through a stage of learning to read and write, as well as learning the Will of Fire.

There is a huge difference between commoners and children of ninja clans in the ninja world. Not to mention that Sasuke can use the Great Fireball Jutsu.

Some of the ordinary children his age couldn't even recognize all the characters.

This situation is not uncommon; even Naruto is like this.

In the lower grades of school, all the commonly used characters are taught once, and the teachers teach them very diligently.

But once the characters are taught, the gap between students will start to widen.

Half of the courses at the Ninja Academy are academic subjects, and the other half are outdoor activities.

Lower grades have activities like running, jumping over pits, and walking on a balance beam; higher grades have activities like throwing ninja tools and sparring.

When get out of class ended, these children just ran around the school, no different from the children Qianyao remembered.

One of the more important courses at the Ninja Academy is Chakra Refining Technique.

This course is required from the time you enter the school until you graduate.

Many teachers at the Ninja Academy used to report directly to the Third Hokage when something happened.

Qianyao spent the whole day looking around and could feel that he was being watched by people, sometimes clearly, sometimes not.

Qianyao wasn't planning to cause any trouble today; they were just observing the situation first.

In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.

By the time school ended in the afternoon, most of the students had gotten to know the principal.

They all greeted Qianyao before leaving.

The other Uchiha children all went back to their respective homes.

Chiyo waited until Sasuke and Karin came out, then took them both back with him.

"How was your first day of school? How did you get along with your classmates?" Qian Yao asked gently.

The Grass Village doesn't have a ninja academy now, and this is Karin's first time coming to such a place for systematic learning.

Karin still looked very happy:

"Yes, I learned some characters today, some of which I didn't know before."

"Classmates... um, classmate, you're all doing well..." Karin hesitated.

The male classmates were alright, but the female classmates seemed to harbor some animosity towards Karin.

After all, Karin only knew Sasuke, and she always stood behind Sasuke when trouble arose.

Although they were all just little kids, all the female classmates wanted to play with Sasuke.

Now that Sasuke's spot next to her has been taken, it would be strange if he gave Karin a friendly look.

Qian Yao knew all about it, and he laughed: "Are there some girls who are very averse to you?"

Karin said somewhat shyly, "...Um."

Looking at Sasuke's cool demeanor, Qianyao grinned mischievously: "That's because those girls are jealous of you."

"Huh? Why?"

"They are jealous that you can always stand by Sasuke's side and be protected by him."

"They all want to play with Sasuke."

Sasuke was still a child, and at that moment he couldn't quite keep a straight face.

"Master! What are you saying!?"

Seeing Sasuke blush, Qianyao laughed out loud: "Sasuke, you actually have a day when you're embarrassed?"

Sasuke snorted as if fleeing a disaster, "Boring!..."

Then run ahead.

Karin asked timidly, "Then does that mean I can't get too close to Sasuke from now on?"

Qian Yao shook his head: "Just do what you want to do, don't pay attention to those inexplicable people."

"If they hate you for this reason, it means they are not people worth associating with."

"Making friends is about having fun together, not about pleasing others."

"Now that you're in a new environment, don't have those old worries anymore."

"Being happy is the most important thing."

A light gradually appeared in Karin's eyes. She felt happy to be cared for without having to worry.

"Thank you, Lord Chiyo."

Chiyo ruffled Karin's wine-red hair, a characteristic of outstanding individuals from the Uzumaki clan.

This represents vigorous vitality and chakra.

Karin is exceptionally talented; it would be a waste to just use her as a mobile blood bank.

Do you want to become a strong person in the future?

Karin looked up at Chiyo, her expression somewhat confused.

Qianyao explained to her, "Becoming strong means being able to protect the people you cherish."

Karin's thoughts drifted back to her time in Kusagakure, when she sought the village's protection in exchange for its protection.

The mother was only used as a human blood bank, and even when she was sick, she was still exploited.

If I become strong, I can protect my mother in the future.

"Hmm, Lord Qianyao, I think so."

Qian Yao said with satisfaction, "Alright, call me Master from now on. You are from the Uzumaki clan, so I will teach you the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan."

He learned a lot about sealing techniques, and since Karin had this talent, it was the best thing to teach her.

Qianyao didn't care about etiquette; he simply accepted Xianglin's offer without hesitation.

Karin didn't know what etiquette was required for becoming a disciple, but she instinctively felt happy when she heard that she could call Lord Senyo her master.

"Yes, Master!"

Karin is still young, her facial features are not yet defined, and her face is round like a steamed bun, making her look soft and cute.

Seeing Karin reminded Chiyo of Ruri from her childhood.

Chiyo, holding Karin's hand, walked forward, saying, "Don't tell anyone about your abilities."

"You can only use it on people you cherish. No one else can force you, understand?"

Karin's eyes filled with happiness: "I understand, Master."

"Sasuke, come here!"

Chiyo called Sasuke, who had walked to the front, back.

Sasuke, who was embarrassed just now, has now recovered.

"Master."

Qianyao turned his head to look at Xianglin: "I've also taken Xianglin as my disciple. She joined the sect after you."

"So, from now on, Karin will be your junior sister."

"You'd better act like a senior brother."

Karin obediently called out to Sasuke, "Sasuke-senpai."

Sasuke's face immediately lit up with joy. He was the youngest in his family and also one of the youngest in his clan.

Everyone treats him like a child, but now there's someone even younger than him. (Karin was born later than Sasuke.)

Sasuke suddenly felt a sense of responsibility and mission, and he was incredibly excited.

"Junior Sister Karin, I'll teach you ninjutsu and throwing techniques from now on..."

"Bang!" Sasuke was hit by Chiyo before he could finish speaking.

"I'm still here, it's not my place to need your instruction."

Sasuke rubbed his head a little embarrassedly, but his gaze towards Karin was noticeably more affectionate than before.

I've become an older brother myself now.

Karin gave Sasuke a sweet smile.

Qianyao led the two little ones back, one in each hand.

"You can just call each other by your first names."

"Karin, you should learn all the characters as soon as possible so I can teach you the others."

"Sasuke, this mission is entrusted to you."

Sasuke, entrusted with an important task for the first time, seemed to have been given a sacred mission, his face full of seriousness.

"Understood, Master!"
