Chapter 631 - Exchange Student
Quietly standing by the window of the principal’s office, Kuroto looked at the playground below with a thoughtful expression.
At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke’s class is on the playground… At the center of the crowd, two kids are present, one is Sasuke–who is standing with his arms folded over his chest and a proud smile on his face, while opposite to him is Naruto–who is sitting on the ground, rubbing his butt in embarrassment, and muttering something in confusion that perhaps only he can understand.
For the ones who haven’t figured out what exactly is going on, the answer is actually quite simple, Naruto again challenged Sasuke… and the result is also obvious, he was easily defeated by Sasuke.
“This kid Naruto… he really is something, despite losing again and again and embarrassing himself in front of everyone each time, he hasn’t given up.” – muttered Kuroto with a smile, he really admired Naruto for his spirit of not giving up.
Earlier Iruka had reported to him that the students are frequently challenging Sasuke in the middle of the class and this is disturbing the teaching environment as well as the decorum of the class, Kuroto did not blame or scold Iruka for his ineffective supervision, on the contrary, he instructed Iruka to not restrain the kids too much in this regard.
After all, Ninja Academy is meant to train Ninjas, so allowing the students to have a certain competitive relationship against each other is not a bad thing, not only will this prompt them to improve themselves, but it will also allow the teaching staff to find the weak points of the trainees so that the students can further work on those points.
Kuroto believes this will increase the overall quality of the graduates, which is very important considering that the current Shinobi is not as stable as it was in the cannon at this time.
In the cannon, at this time, there was no trace of Amatsukami, no movement from the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, the Akatsuki Organization was in a dormant state and was busy performing missions and recruiting members, additionally, the third great shinobi war, as well as the later feud with Kumogakure, had just ended, there was no tension on any border of the land of Fire so no major conflict was going to occur in the near future.
As such, it won’t be wrong to say that the Shinobi World was quite stable with no large-scale conflicts, therefore, the atmosphere of Konoha was quite relaxed… The Ninja Academy was naturally affected by this relaxed atmosphere, and it was affected to such an extent that the number of enrolled trainees was decreasing each year and the teaching progress was also extremely slow.
However, this is not the case in this world that has completely deviated from its original course because the butterfly effect occurred because of Hyuga Kuroto’s presence. Konoha Village had just experienced a major catastrophe and survived only with the help of a foreign party. Moreover, the culprit is still hiding somewhere in the Shinobi World, and considering their intentions and objective, the threat of war is on Konoha, so a sense of crisis has enveloped Konoha as well as the entire Shinobi World.
