It had been six days since Tsunade was born. And today, Seii was gearing up to enroll in the Konoha Ninja Academy.
Of course, he didn't need to enroll in it to learn Shinobi basics.
With the clan's training grounds, resources, and guidance, he had already beco stronger than most Chunins.
However, he still had to enroll in the Ninja Academy at the insistence of his father.
He kept lecturing about Will of Fire, Unity of Konoha, Harmony of Countless Ninja Clans, and other bizarre topics to send him to the Ninja School.
According to Tobirama, socializing was a must. All clans in Konoha were sending their heirs—how could the Senju, one of the founding Shinobi clans, back off?
So, he had to go. That was it. He had no choice at all.
However, sothing interesting did happen within these six days.
Many people ca to congratulate Hashirama, his son, and his father after Tsunade was born.
And among them were the current disciples of his father.
They were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Hamura, and Akimichi Torifu.
All of them were around 17-19 years old.
Their strength varied from Special Jonin to Elite Jonin, which was comndable for Shinobi of their age.
The strongest among them, of course, were Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Kagami, and Shimura Danzo.
When Seii saw Shimura Danzo for the first ti, he really wanted to eliminate him right on the spot.
But he suppressed his urge.
Although Danzo was incredibly black-hearted, he didn't commit any cri yet…Uh probably. He hoped Danzo didn't.
Plus, he was one of his father's prized disciples.
He couldn't just take him out and tell his father that Danzo would commit unimaginable atrocities in the future, so he eliminated him, could he?
He obviously couldn't.
And most importantly, he wasn't strong enough to take out a full-fledged Jonin silently, YET!
'So, I will bide my ti and watch you, you inherently evil Danzo. Bastard.'
'The mont you show your true colors, I will quietly collect evidence of your atrocities and drag you to my father.'
'I would really like to see how you justify your action then.'
'Would you say it was all for Konoha at that ti?'
'Hehehehe…don't worry. I will also eliminate you for Konoha.'
'And I will do it right in front of my father. In fact, I'm sure he would like to eliminate you himself if you commit the atrocities your original Narutoverse counterpart did.'
'Don't bla . After all, everything I do is for Konoha.'
'All for the greater good.'
Hmm?
Uh-oh! His mind was spiraling out of control again.
He had to rein in his thoughts.
'After all, I'm Otsutsuki Seii, not Seii Grindelwald.'
'Let's not think too much about it!'
Seii sighed and shook his head. Then he reflected on his previous extre thoughts about Danzo.
'On second thought, let's not be too hasty about the matter related to Danzo.'
'This world is different, not the sa as the world I saw in the original Naruto Ani back in my previous life.'
'This Danzo may still look shady, but he is not so dark, heinous criminal.'
'Not yet, at least.'
'This is a real person we are talking about.'
'So, let's not be too prejudiced and make things difficult for soone who has not done anything bad yet.'
'Otherwise, how would I be any different from a bigoted bastard?'
'Let's not judge people based on unverified information that might be completely false.'
As his thoughts began to wander, Seii ca back to his ho after a little morning run and light workout.
He quickly took a bath to get rid of sweat and dust. After changing into fresh, everyday clothes, he went straight to play with his little cousin, Tsunade.
She was a lovely little girl. He just couldn't resist teasing her.
Just looking at her innocent smile could make his heart settle down.
Anyway, it was just 7:30 AM. He had to reach the Ninja School by 9 AM.
There was plenty of ti to relax.
As he walked to the fully awake Tsunade in the baby cradle bed, Tsunade's eyes locked onto him.
Then she gave him the brightest smile she could muster, looked at him with almost twinkling eyes, and made incoherent baby sounds.
Wait…twinkling eyes?
Did her eyes just glow for a while?
Uh…
He probably saw it wrong.
Never mind.
Her smile literally lted his heart just now.
What a cute little sister. Don't worry, your brother will protect you from now on.
And so, he earnestly started playing with little Tsunade, who was just six days old.
'Ninja Academy can wait. It's ti to play.'
'No wonder! So, sis-con is really a thing. I think I'm turning into one,' he thought inwardly, but never ceased entertaining the baby.
---------------------
All good tis must co to an end.
Seii also had to say goodbye to his cute cousin with eyes full of tears and head to the Ninja Academy.
It was already 8:40 AM, and the academy was a 15-minute walk away.
It wasn't far, so he didn't rush.
Once he arrived, he could see a lot of children, ranging from 6 to 10 years old, coming to enroll.
Tobirama already told him about the admission criteria.
Young children wanting to beco Shinobi needed to be physically fit.
So, Seii and nearly 8,000 other children participated in stamina tests, strength tests, agility tests, and many other tests that evaluated their chakra potential.
Clan kids had it easy. No one failed to pass.
However, nearly 50% of civilian kids were eliminated. Of course, many of those who failed could apply again next year as long as they weren't older than 10.
anwhile, kids who didn't unlock their chakra before had it unlocked by the experienced teachers.
Finally, after rigorous testing, nearly 4,000 kids were enrolled this year.
However, this number only represented the central Ninja Academy. Tobirama set a total of 5 Ninja Academies.
Since the founding of Konoha, at least 15,000 kids have enrolled in these academies each year and received extensive training to beco capable Shinobi.
So, Konoha gets a fresh supply of a few thousand Genins every year.
Needless to say, the academy had beco a crucial part of the Konoha Shinobi system, making sure the total Shinobi of Konoha never went down below 200,000.
Anyway, after confirming the enrollnt of future pillars of the village, Tobirama, the acting headmaster of the academy, started casting the unbeatable technique, Genjutsu: Will of Fire, with all his might.
As Seii heard his father preach unity and patriotism, his expression couldn't help but beco a little strange.
'This Will of Fire is seriously a lethal technique.'
'Even I almost got moved by it. No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen never missed a chance to preach Will of Fire in the original Narutoverse.'
'Its brainwashing capabilities are quite terrifying.'
'What Kotoamatsukami? What Infinite Tsukuyomi? They are nothing in front of the Genjutsu: Will of Fire—the illusion technique that successfully brainwashed Konoha citizens for generations.'
'In the realm of Genjutsu, I, Seii, declare the Will of Fire the STRONGEST!!'
The brainwashing session was finally over, and the instructors divided the 4,000 students into different classes.
The top 120 students were part of Special Class, or in short, S-class, which was further divided into 4 different classes.
Each S-class division would have 30 students.
The S-class students would receive specialized training and resources, far exceeding the other students of this batch.
Of course, Seii also beca a part of the class 1-S division of the S-class.
Each of the 120 students of the S-class was expected to reach Jonin rank before their 20s.
Clearly, it was a class filled with students with imnse potential—a group of geniuses.
The classes will formally begin starting from tomorrow.
Today, they received a tour of their classes, training grounds, and other facilities.
The students also received the books, class schedule, and the detailed routine of the subjects they would be learning this year.
"Phew, it's finally over. Now, I can go ho and grind a few of my Jutsu."
"My chakra control is about to advance to Lv.6, too."
"Alright! Let's go ho."
Once his thoughts settled, Seii imdiately activated the Body Flicker Technique and raced toward his ho.
Today, he was determined to grind a few of his techniques to perfection and play more with his little cousin, Tsunade.
"Let's leave the headache of dealing with the Academy to the future ."
