Avengers of the Whirlpool Family

These little guys all straightened their bodies and responded in unison.

At least for them.

Iruka, wearing the standard vest of Konoha, still has a certain degree of majesty!

Iruka also nodded in satisfaction.

As a teaching staff, he certainly knows very well that education is not something that can be achieved overnight. These children have just entered the ninja school, and the current Konoha is completely different from the Konoha a few years ago. The requirements for these children cannot be set too high at the beginning, and they must be guided little by little!

"Well, very good. Next, let's get to know each other. If nothing goes wrong, you will all study together in the ninja school for six years. We must first get to know each other! Let's start with you, little guy! Simply tell us your name, dream, and the things you like!"

Iruka pointed to a little boy sitting in the first row, on the left side near the door, and continued.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"

When Iruka pointed at the little boy, he didn't show any sign of stage fright and stood up excitedly.

He turned sideways to face most of the classmates and said loudly: "My name is Okazaki Tomoya, and my favorite thing is dumplings! My dream is to become someone who can be respected by others!"

"Well, great, next!"

"My name is Matsuoka Yoshitsugu, and my favorite things are cars! My dream is to travel around the world by car!"

"My name is..."

One by one, they introduced themselves.

Almost every little one was brave enough to introduce themselves.

Everyone likes different things, but most people’s dreams are almost the same!

Either become a great ninja, or simply want to become Hokage!

This is also a matter of course.

Most of the children who are born in the five major ninja villages and enter the ninja school aspire to become the Kage of their own ninja village!

Because it not only symbolizes status and strength, but also represents being respected, loved and followed by countless people!

Only the self-introductions of Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba and others who are from the ninja clan are slightly different!

The second pillar.

Then it still has my current style.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I don't have any particular hobbies. My dream is to become a ninja as good as my brother!"

It's not the kind of indifference that comes after a drastic change in mood.

It was a deliberate pose.

But little girls love this!

Especially when paired with Erzhuzi's cool look.

"what!"

"Wow, Sasuke-kun!"

"Kakuichi!"

The shape of most little girls’ eyes turned directly into a heart shape!

This was the first climax in the classroom.

The second climax was naturally Naruto’s self-introduction.

"Hello everyone, my name is Namikaze Naruto, my favorite thing is Ichiraku Ramen, there is nothing I particularly dislike, and my future dream is to become a great Hokage like my father!"

Same style.

The same words.

The only difference is the influence of the education and living environment he received since childhood, which makes this 'Namikaze Naruto' less naughty and playful, and more polite!

"Ohhh! As expected of Master Naruto!"

"Master Naruto!"

"This is the son of the Fourth Master!"

"Yabai! Todoroki Yabai!!"

The absolute central figure, the one that all eyes are focused on.

Namikaze Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke!

This person has definitely become the core figure of their class!

Although the plots are different, fate seems to be constant, which arouses a sense of competition in advance!

Let’s not talk about Naruto for now.

Nijigas already regards Naruto as someone he must defeat!

As Erzhuzi, who still admires his brother very much, his goal before entering school has always been to get the first place.

Because that was the position his brother had once easily reached!

He claims that as a genius of the Uchiha clan, he must follow in his brother's footsteps!

"My name is Uzumaki Menma. I don't have any particular favorite things. My future dream is to gain recognition from many people!"

The order of succession.

Finally it was Menma's turn.

That still calm posture, those softly spoken words.

Not many people present paid attention to it, except Naruto, who was stunned when he subconsciously turned his head to look at Menma after hearing his self-introduction.

An inexplicable emotion emerged in my heart.

Made Naruto feel for a moment that Menma seemed a little bit familiar?

It seemed as if it had a deep connection with me, but the feeling only lasted for less than a second before disappearing.

It made Naruto look a little dazed.

However, Menma never looked at Naruto from beginning to end. After introducing himself, he sat down quietly.

Naruto looked at Menma one more time and felt that everything was normal again.

Naruto, who has a carefree personality, simply stopped caring about it.

Maybe this was just an illusion I had at that moment.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 12: One Year and Genocide

But what Naruto didn't notice was when he turned around and focused his attention back on Iruka and the other classmates.

Menma, who was sitting in the back, gave his back a deep look.

Envy, jealousy or even a hint of resentment?

Maybe all of these.

But just as Naruto felt a momentary sense of intimacy with Menma.

Menma, who was 100% sure that they were brothers, had an even more special feeling towards Naruto. All his sufferings had nothing to do with Naruto, and it was impossible for Naruto to be like him and have a strong sense of self as soon as he came into this world.

Naruto was just a being who was half-tricked by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Menma was indeed jealous of Naruto's current living environment.

Even at certain moments, I couldn't help but feel resentful.

Why are they treated so differently when they are all born of the same parents? But blood is thicker than water, which restrains Menma's negative emotions. He can hate everyone else, but he can't hate Naruto!

This is my own brother!

Even though he was born just a little later than himself, Menma was certain that he was the older brother and Naruto was the younger brother.

Another important reason is that Menma also had a younger brother in his previous life who was just as carefree and optimistic in character, which seemed to overlap a bit with Naruto.

It made Menma's feelings towards Naruto even more special.

"Naruto, I hope your future won't be the exact opposite of mine."

After Menma took a deep look at Naruto's back, he thought silently in his heart.

"Very good, now everyone has a preliminary understanding of each other. From the moment you step into the ninja school, you can be considered a quasi-ninja. How high you want to achieve in the future depends on talent and hard work. For those who are lazy, don't even think about becoming an excellent ninja in the future. It's even a question whether you can graduate. I don't think you want to see your classmates graduate one after another while you are held back forever, right? This depends on how hard you work! If the foundation is not solid, the whole world will shake. I hope you can remember this sentence!"

Iruka looked at the dozens of little guys below with a serious expression and spoke in a deep voice.

Listen or not, go in.

Can you fully understand it?

This is not very important at the moment, but the initial attitude must be made clear!

As a class teacher.

Iruka doesn't want any students to fall too far behind in the next six years.

This is his duty as a teacher.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"

The children below at least appeared to be cooperating with their homeroom teacher, and they responded in unison at this moment.

"Well! Very good, then, let's start with the first lesson, what is a ninja, and what is the essence of a ninja..."

The first day of ninja school.

It is so peaceful and stable.

Although Menma's admission caused quite a stir within a certain range, it ultimately caused too much commotion. In the current Konohagakure Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen still possesses absolute prestige and power.

In other words, the older the elderly get, the more indecisive they become.

Otherwise, let alone other people, even Danzo Shimura would not be able to cause any waves as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen did not allow it.

After all, the fact that Danzo could do so many evil things was half Danzo's fault, and the other half was the result of Sarutobi Hiruzen's own indulgence.

Therefore, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is more resolute.

There won't be too many problems in Menma's daily life and education.

In fact.

On the first day in the ninja school, Menma encountered many strange looks from "ordinary people", but no one stood up to question it, because it was the "Hokage's order"!

They can discuss it in private.

When there are few people around, he looks at Menma with naked hostility.

But it must never be shown in public.

Of course, this doesn't make any practical sense.

But Menma was already satisfied. It was just a sight, and it wouldn't cost him a thing, so why would he care?!

sunset.

Dusk falls.

The first day of the ninja school ended.

Menma was the last one to leave the ninja school. He stood at the main entrance and looked at the teaching building enveloped in the afterglow.

Looking at the children leaving in other directions towards the sunset.

Menma looked a little cold, this was not where he belonged.

It is a cage that binds Menma.

One day, he will break this cage with his own hands and gain true freedom.

"This is the real first step! No one can restrict my future! ! "

After taking a deep breath, Menma turned around and walked along another path. He walked farther and farther away, and his figure gradually merged into the shadows.

The beginning of his ninja school career.
