Suddenly, Hyuga Nana-ya lost interest.
But soon, he discovered the meaning of this course—literacy and political education.
Not all ninja school students are literate. If they can't read, how can they learn various ninjutsu and genjutsu scrolls? And later, the ninja code, intelligence code deciphering, and so on...
In this regard, the ninja clan children and the commoner children were already separated.
However, Hyuga Nana-ya thought that the Ninja School was a very meaningful institution. It was a great achievement by Senju Tobirama!
As the saying goes, education is a long-term investment.
You see, Konoha does not only have major ninja clans, but also a large number of ordinary ninjas and civilians. Ninja clan children can learn various ninja knowledge in advance, while for ordinary children, the Ninja School is their best choice.
The Ninja School is also a springboard and a platform for those who are not from ninja clans. It is the inevitable path for them to step up from the civilian class to the ninja class.
For example, Rock Lee. Although he later learned the specialized taijutsu route from Might Guy, without the Ninja School, he might not even have had the chance to meet Might Guy.
Hyuga Nana-ya was in the back row. He found that only a few children could read, and the others had to start from scratch.
As for political education... Isn't it obvious?
"What is the Will of Fire?"
"Wherever there are leaves, there will be fire burning. The shadow of the fire shines on the village, and then new leaves will sprout again..."
Watanabe Shinichi was passionately delivering his speech.
But the effect was clearly not good. Children are active, and learning this kind of cultural textbook is boring.
Uzumaki Naruto listened very carefully.
He was a war orphan, but he was precocious and sensible, and he was good at seizing every opportunity in life to improve himself and make himself outstanding.
No one taught him to read, so he went to help others with their work and asked questions about learning. Because he was cute and sunny, almost all the shopkeepers were kind to this blond child.
Through this back and forth, Uzumaki Naruto not only learned common characters before entering the ninja school, but also developed a good physique. He was most willing to help others deliver food because he liked the feeling of running.
It was like the wind.
At this moment.
As he listened to Teacher Shinichi talk about the Will of Fire, Naruto's azure eyes sparkled with longing.
"The Will of Fire is to protect the important people around you, so that they are not harmed..."
"Everyone will have unfortunate things, but as long as we face life with a positive and optimistic attitude, and then strive to make progress, we can achieve something..."
Various understandings of the Will of Fire flashed through Uzumaki Naruto's small head.
Then he asked himself, who is the most important person around me?
If Hyuga Nana-ya knew what Naruto was thinking at the moment, he would be astonished!
A six-year-old child would actually think about this?!
"That's it for the morning class. We will start practicing tools in the afternoon."
Watanabe Shinichi announced, causing the whole class to cheer.
Compared to boring cultural classes, tool class was more interesting. Kunai, shuriken, these were the ninjas they imagined!
"Tool class..."
Hyuga Nana-ya got up.
For the past year, he had only been practicing Hyuga Gentle Fist and his own [Zhoutian Breathing Method]. He hadn't touched tool use yet.
Nana-ya was thinking about whether to learn it in advance.
Hyuga Zongyan said, "You will naturally be taught by the teacher when you enter the Ninja School."
"The key now is to practice the Gentle Fist and open the Byakugan."
"The Gentle Fist can help you better master your muscle strength and control. Once you open the Byakugan, you will be far superior to others in terms of observation. When you learn tool techniques later, you will be much faster."
Hyuga Nana-ya agreed with this point.
Fist first, leg second, then grappling, weapon internal family five in one.
There was a saying when he practiced martial arts in his previous life: Weapon, extension of hands and feet!
Tools, after all, are also weapons.
…………
Ninja School, training ground.
A row of targets were fixed 20 meters ahead.
Watanabe Shinichi took out a shuriken from his tool bag and demonstrated while explaining.
"Shuriken come in various shapes, but the most common one is this "卍" shape."
"In ninja battles, various early probes are indispensable. Moreover, chakra needs to be used sparingly, so the shuriken becomes the best tool."
Seeing some students being careless, Watanabe Shinichi's face darkened, and he said seriously,
"Teacher knows that you like all kinds of dazzling ninjutsu..."
"But you must also understand that most of you have limited chakra. You might be able to release two C-rank ninjutsu and then you'll be out of chakra. At this time, taijutsu and tools are your most powerful means!"
Faced with Watanabe Shinichi's blunt and cruel admonition, everyone immediately became more serious, um... maybe simply because he suddenly became fierce.
"Look closely, use your index, middle, and ring fingers to hold the shuriken in your palm, grasp the direction, use your pinky finger as auxiliary support, and use your thumb to secure the shuriken."
"Remember..."
Watanabe Shinichi taught his experience with all his might.
"In the process of holding and throwing the shuriken, the muscles in your hand cannot be stiff. They must be gentle, like holding a bird egg and preventing it from breaking..."
Then, with a flip and flick of his wrist, a black light streaked through the air.
"Dong!"
Right in the bullseye.
"So fast! I didn't see it clearly before it flew out..."
"So amazing!"
Faced with the students' exclamations, Watanabe Shinichi felt no pride. They were just a bunch of students who had just entered the Ninja School.
However—
He glanced at Hyuga Nana-ya and Uzumaki Naruto, and he noticed the movement of the two little guys' eyes just now.
"Although I didn't use all my strength, they were able to see the trajectory of my shuriken..."
"These two kids have good dynamic vision."
Following Watanabe Shinichi's explanation, a bunch of children made the gesture of grabbing a bird egg, grabbing and pressing it.
"Oops~~"
"It seems so difficult~~!"
"Grabbing a bird egg, it's a piece of cake! Let me show you guys later..."
Only a few people showed a serious and understanding look in their eyes. Watanabe Shinichi noticed the students' reactions and immediately knew what to do.
He continued to explain, "Because the shuriken rotates by itself, the flight path is very stable. You can improve your hit rate and accuracy with short-term practice."
"Now, you stand five meters away from the target, ten people in a group, and start practicing."
Then.
All kinds of funny and ridiculous things happened.
Some were strong but couldn't throw it five meters away. Some hit other targets, and there were even some who didn't hit the target at all... In short, none of them hit the bullseye.
After all, the students had just started using shuriken. They were excited and nervous.
As soon as they got it, they immediately threw Watanabe Shinichi's instructions out the window. What kind of no stiffness, gentle handling? I believe in strength!
Grip, twist your waist, throw.
"Hyahah~!"
