“My name is Yuuhi Kurenai, and I’m five years old.”
Her self-introduction continued. With fluffy black hair, red eyes, and a round face, Yuuhi Kurenai said, “I like many things. I don't dislike anything yet, and my future dream is to become a powerful Genjutsu ninja!”
“My name is Sarutobi Asuma, and I’m five years old.”
After Yuuhi Kurenai, Asuma, who was beside her, began his self-introduction.
He didn't mention his family background or that his father was Hokage. Even though most of the students probably realized his identity when they heard the name Sarutobi, he didn't mention it.
“I like…”
Sarutobi Asuma glanced at the red-eyed girl with curly hair beside him, but when he noticed she was also looking at him, he quickly turned his head in another direction.
As a result, he saw Uchiha Tsukimi sitting in the back. Sarutobi Asuma’s face immediately turned dark as he said, “I dislike…”
A name was about to come out of his mouth, but then he suddenly remembered his brother’s advice—‘As the Hokage’s son, you must be careful with your words’—and quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.
His mood suddenly turned bad, and he didn't even say his dream. He simply ended his self-introduction with "Anyway, that’s it".
Umino Ikkaku frowned slightly, "The Hokage’s son seems a bit spoiled."
At the back of the classroom, Tsukimi also raised an eyebrow, “Am I seeing things? Just now, Asuma’s gaze indicated that he disliked him?”
Tsukimi didn’t think he had offended Sarutobi Asuma. This was their first meeting, and they hadn't even spoken to each other.
Did the Third Hokage brainwash his son from a young age, making him dislike the Uchiha clan?
Tsukimi was a little confused, but soon his attention was caught by the self-introduction of a quiet and pure girl with short black hair.
“My name is Kato Shizune, and I’m four years old. I like peace, I dislike war, and my future dream is to become a medical ninja like Tsunade-sama.”
“Kato? Shizune?”
Tsukimi was surprised. If it was just the name ‘Shizune’, he would have thought it was a coincidence, but with the surname ‘Kato’, he could be almost 99% certain that this girl was the future assistant of Tsunade, as well as Kato Dan's niece.
In the original Naruto story, Shizune’s name was simply Shizune, and there was no information indicating that she had the surname Kato.
But now it seems that in this world, Shizune’s surname is Kato.
However, what really caught Tsukimi’s attention wasn't her name, but the fact that she was in the Ninja Academy itself.
Shouldn’t Shizune have been ‘traveling’ the world with Tsunade after the Second Shinobi World War?
How could she be in the Ninja Academy?
In this world, did Tsunade not travel the world?
Or was it something else?
“I’ll ask grandfather when I get back.” Tsukimi secretly remembered this information.
“My name is Yamanaka Rin. I’m four years old. I also dislike war, I also like peace, and my dream is also to become a medical ninja like Tsunade-sama.”
Yamanaka Rin was talking when she realized her likes, dislikes, and dreams were the same as Kato Shizune’s. Worried that the other girl would be unhappy, she quickly gave her an apologetic smile.
However, facing someone with the same ideals, the same likes and dislikes, Kato Shizune was happy about it and wouldn't be unhappy. She immediately smiled back at Yamanaka Rin.
“It’s my turn.”
After Yamanaka Rin, Uchiha Obito stood up, “My name is Uchiha Obito, from the great Uchiha clan. I’m four years old, I like helping people, I dislike a certain annoying guy, and my current dream is to defeat a nasty guy.”
Although Uchiha Obito didn’t mention himself by name, Tsukimi felt that he was referring to him as that annoying and nasty guy.
“The great Uchiha, a dream of battle… ”
Umino Ikkaku extracted the key words from Uchiha Obito’s self-introduction, “He’s truly a typical Uchiha.”
He shook his head slightly and looked at another Uchiha in the class. He wanted to see how the other one would introduce himself. Would he also be a typical Uchiha?
At this time, there were only three students left in the classroom who hadn’t done their self-introduction.
“Hatake Kakashi. Four years old. I don’t want to tell you what I dislike or like, and my dream is to become a strong ninja.”
Kakashi, who was behind Tsukimi, stood up and gave a very concise and straightforward self-introduction.
“What kind of self-introduction is that? And why are you wearing a mask?”
Kakashi’s unusual self-introduction and his strange, masked decoration immediately caught the attention of most of the students in the class.
Some people were a little dissatisfied, while others had a different attitude.
“He’s kind of cool.”
“Yeah!”
Kato Shizune and Yamanaka Rin, who had hit it off, were whispering together, their voices full of admiration.
Uchiha Obito was a little unhappy, turning his head to look at the white-haired, masked guy in the back, thinking, ‘He must be ugly, that’s why he’s wearing a mask’.
“The White Fang’s son? What a cool kid.”
Looking at Umino Ikkaku who ignored everyone’s reactions and sat down on his own, Umino Ikkaku smiled wryly again, “The challenges I’ll face in the future won’t be easy.”
The Hokage’s son, the White Fang’s son, and these two…
Umino Ikkaku looked at the last two students who hadn’t done their self-introduction.
At this time, the two also realized they were the only ones left. They looked at each other, seemingly waiting for the other to go first.
“Then I’ll go first!”
Tsukimi didn’t mind being the last one, but just as he was about to stand up and do his self-introduction, the girl next to him took the initiative.
The girl stood up, and her cold voice matched her cold expression, “Hyuga Hinata. Four years old.”
Then she sat down again. Her self-introduction was so concise, so simple, that even Kakashi, who was behind her, looked at her in surprise.
The other students were also stunned. They all looked at Hyuga Hinata in astonishment.
If Kakashi’s introduction was that he didn’t want to say anything, then Hyuga Hinata’s self-introduction was that she really didn't want to say anything.
“She doesn’t seem like someone easy to get along with.”
Looking at Hyuga Hinata’s cold expression, Yuuhi Kurenai couldn’t help but whisper to Yamanaka Rin and Kato Shizune.
“Mhm, mhm.”
Yamanaka Rin and Kato Shizune nodded in agreement.
Just now, Yuuhi Kurenai had joined their circle.
But it was normal. After all, there were only four girls in the whole class.
Originally, the three of them planned to invite Hyuga Hinata to join them, but now it seemed like it wouldn’t be easy.
“She’s giving me a hard time. By the way, I wonder if she’s doing this on purpose.”
Hyuga Hinata’s self-introduction instantly made everyone whisper amongst themselves.
“Ahem.”
Tsukimi had to cough a few times to get everyone’s attention back.
Fortunately, he was handsome and cute, so he still had that charm.
“So handsome!”
Seeing Tsukimi stand up, the three girls all whispered excitedly.
This made Uchiha Obito and Sarutobi Asuma’s faces change, and their gazes towards Tsukimi became unfriendly.
“My name is Uchiha Tsukimi. I’m four years old.”
Hearing another Uchiha, everyone’s eyes gradually focused on Tsukimi.
“There are many things I like, and many things I dislike. As for my future dream?”
“I will become the first Hokage of the Uchiha clan. Then I will end the war and bring peace to the shinobi world!”
