Naruto: Start by eating the golden fruit.

Chapter 432: Konoha's 61st Year and School Enrollment
Konoha 61, Land of Fire, Konoha Village, Ninja School:
Today is the annual opening ceremony of the Ninja School.

On this day, families who received admission notices from the Ninja School last year usually send their children to the Ninja School.

The current admission standard for the ninjas of Konoha Village is based on an invitation system.

That is to say, before the age of ten, after children go to school, they either show talent in ninjutsu or have some special qualities, or they are simply descendants of a ninja family.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you have to go to school just because you get the admission letter from the Ninja School.

Similarly, it does not mean that you cannot come to school if you do not receive an admission letter. If you think your child does have the talent of a ninja but has not shown it before, then you can have a chance to take the admission test.

However, generally speaking, only children between the ages of ten and twelve are eligible.

If you are over this age, you cannot enter the school.

As for those who received the admission letter but did not come...

At least it hasn't happened yet.

The reason is simple. Graduating from Ninja School and taking the civil service exam is an improvement.

To put it bluntly, this world is ultimately a world of ninjas. With this special ability, it would be much easier for them to pass the civil service exam and start from the grassroots level than for ordinary people.

Uchiha Shisui has been promoted very quickly in the past few years and is now the deputy mayor of a district. If it were in his previous life, he would be equivalent to a senior official in a district of the capital. You have to know that Shisui started out as a grassroots civil servant, so his promotion speed is quite fast.

Of course, Shisui is not an exception. Take the Uchiha clan's security department for example. Ever since Yuya adjusted the functions of the security department to include the maintenance of Konoha Village's public security and the resolution of neighborhood conflicts within its scope of functions, the personnel in the Uchiha clan's security department can be said to have been paid by the government.

To put it bluntly, the Security Department is now a regular job.

Only those who have got a regular job know what this means to ordinary people.

A stable job? No, it's a status symbol.

After all, even if you work for a businessman who earns one million taels a month, if the Security Department calls you and asks you to assist in an investigation, you still have to go and assist, because it is written in the law, and the highest authorities in Konoha are backing the Security Department.

Of course, the problem this brings is that there are not enough people in the security department.

Later, Uchiha Fugaku expanded, and now the situation is that four-fifths of the Uchiha clan’s security department are not from the Uchiha clan.

Actually, the Uchiha clan did have some complaints about this, but as long as they dared to mention it, Uchiha Fugaku would scold them.

Damn, you guys can’t give birth to many children yourselves. The entire security department has more than a thousand Uchiha people. Isn’t that too many?
If the Uchiha clan has 10,000 people, would I need to use these 1,000+ clan members to do work?
The others were also speechless.

Later, the situation became that every street had a branch of the Security Department. You Ya said that since your work is similar to that of the Street Office, you should merge the two. In the future, you will be a combination of the Security Department and the Street Office. Yes, we need to add more people.

There are now a total of more than 15,000 security personnel, managing the population of more than 9 million in the inner city of Konoha.

It would be unfair if you weren't busy as a dog.

But there is no way. It is impossible for Uchiha Fugaku to really not want this security department. This is impossible.

So, continue to expand.

And this brings us to recruiting new people.

Not to mention the security department, other departments, such as the construction department, engineering department, logistics department, banks, hospitals, etc., who doesn't want new people? Who doesn't want these new people to be ninjas?
Therefore, the Ninja School has also been expanding recently.

But You Ya had no choice. He relaxed the requirements for more than a thousand new recruits a year.

If we go by his previous standards, that is, a Genin like Senju Tobirama needs to be proficient in clone jutsu, substitution jutsu and at least three offensive ninjutsu, then at least two-thirds of the more than one thousand students graduating each year would fail.

However, Senju Tobirama was preparing for war. Youya felt that there was no war at the moment, so it would be okay to relax the policy a little bit.

This is why there are more than a thousand ninja graduates every year.

However, it only seems like a lot, more than a thousand a year, and only about 20,000 people in more than 20 years. These 20,000 people are distributed to various aspects, resulting in a shortage of staff everywhere.

But now we are not short of ordinary people, but high-end talents, especially high-end talents like ninjas.

You Ya himself was a little speechless. He had been struggling with a shortage of people in his entire life. He had been short of people from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, every year's Ninja School is really a top priority for Youya.

Therefore, although he would come to the Ninja School every year to give a perfunctory speech, he did value the Ninja School very much.

This is the cradle of talent.

But this year, something is different.

You Ya looked at the list of students enrolled this year and smiled.

He was very familiar with many of the names above.

At this moment, at the gate of the Ninja School, Yue Guang Ji Feng, with a toothpick in his mouth and heavy dark circles under his eyes, was sitting at the gate of the Ninja School while recording forms, and in front of him was a long line.

This is an annual routine task. He and nine other Chunins need to record the number and names of students enrolled within three days.

But generally speaking, it will take less than three days, at most one and a half or two days to complete.

The extra day is just to prevent any unexpected events.

"name."

"Uzumaki Naruto!" A golden-haired man smiled, raised his goggles, and said loudly with a chuckle, "The man who will become Hokage in the future!"

The hand that was recording Moonlight Gale paused slightly, and then a pair of dead fish eyes with thick dark circles under their eyes looked at Naruto.

Then he recorded expressionlessly: "Uzumaki Naruto, gender male, age?"

Naruto blinked and quickly said, "Ten years old. I am ten years old."

"Oh, here you go, don't damage this label." Moonlight Gale said, tearing off a sticky barcode on the form and sticking it on Naruto's collar.

Naruto looked at Gekkou Hayate and asked in confusion: "Uncle, don't you laugh at my ideal? I said I want to be a Hokage."

Moonlight Gale didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "If what you said is true, then the Hokage should be very happy. Okay, don't stand here like an idiot, leave quickly, I'll wait for the next one."

Naruto blinked and walked into the school with his hands behind his head.
