Chapter 368: Akatsuki’s Declaration
Nagasawa felt like reforming Academy was something he deemed necessary.
After Konoha's expansion, establishing schools for regular people should be considered on top of reforming Academy.
With that in mind, Nagasawa used Flying Thunder God Technique to quickly return to Konoha. Once he was home, he began drafting a plan.
He couldn't just go to Minato whenever he had an idea. He needed to present something substantial to convince everyone.
Nagasawa took out a pen. He reflected on his past school experiences and combined them with the circumstances of this world as he started writing down his ideas.
Applying the education system from his past life might work, but it would pose several problems.
Currently, the Academy only lasted for six years, while in his previous life, it took sixteen years from elementary schoold to university. Such a drastic difference might not be accepted by everyone.
The goal of establishing the Academy in the first place was to prevent young children from being sent to the battlefield as one had to pass the Academy's assessment to become a Shinobi and participate in battles.
However, Tobirama was born in Warring States period, raised in a well-known Clan, so it made sense if he had slightly different outlook on life from Nagasawa.
Most students enrolled the Academy at the age of six and graduated at twelve.
In Tobirama's opinion, when you hit twelve, you were not a child anymore; you were a "grown-up" capable of fighting for the village.
