Chapter 714: Situation Changes in One Year
On April 1st, the Ninja School started as usual.
However, the start of school this time is different from before.
Because this year, the ninja school reform officially began to be implemented.
From this year on, the six-year system of Ninja School became history, becoming a four-year elementary school plus a three-year middle school.
However, the rule of early graduation is still retained.
As long as you have enough skills, you can directly apply to graduate and become a ninja, even if you have only attended school for two months.
However, since there are elementary and middle schools now, if you want to graduate and become a ninja in one go, you have to take two graduation exams, which is a little more troublesome than before.
"Now we invite our respected Hokage-sama to come to the stage to deliver an important speech. Please welcome the Yondaime-sama with warm applause!"
At the opening ceremony, the host announced with great solemnity in a magnetic voice.
Bang bang bang! !
Thunderous applause immediately erupted in the venue, like ocean waves, one after another, endless. Both teachers and students applauded enthusiastically, with the teacher being more excited than the students.
When the Hokage election was held, they all voted for Mu Yue.
At this moment, seeing Mu Yue as Hokage coming to the ninja school to give a speech, I felt proud in my heart.
In such a warm atmosphere, Mu Yue stood up slowly, walked to the podium with a smile and steady steps, and greeted everyone in the audience.
"All students are the school's most valuable asset and the future flowers of Konoha..."
Mu Yue did not spend a lot of time to talk about anything in a long way. She just briefly said some words of blessing and then led the students to look forward to the future.
After all, this is not some pre-war mobilization.
And with the blessing of Hokage's identity and his reputation in the ninja school, even a few short words are enough to make the students excited.
"I must study harder in the future and contribute to Konoha like the Yondaime-sama!" The students below were excited.
Yamato in the crowd was also infected and wanted to immediately apply to graduate early and become a ninja.
However, this was not a hot-headed temporary decision. He had not planned to finish the second grade, and he did not even want to finish the first semester.
Mainly because the other disciples put too much pressure on Yamato.
He is still in school, and Obito has already been a jounin leader, and all of the team members are still chuunin. Even if he is the temporary captain, it shows that Muyue recognizes Obito's ability.
Unable to catch up in terms of strength, and with a huge gap opening up in other aspects, Yamato was anxious.
"Yamato, are you going to graduate this year?" Hyuga Oriko asked Yamato.
Yamato did not hide his desire to graduate early and once told his friends.
"If nothing else, it will be in these few weeks." Yamato nodded and replied.
If he hadn't wanted to spend some time with his friends one last time, and there was no war, he would have graduated at the end of his first year.
"Keep working hard after graduation. If it's you, maybe you can become a great ninja." Hinata Oriko encouraged.
She didn't think anything about Yamato graduating early.
Because Yamato is really so strong, so strong that the school teachers would sigh that they had never seen such a strong student in their lives.
Even Asuma, a newly promoted jounin, almost overturned during the battle with Yamato.
This leapfrog challenge was too much. Obito and the others were considered very good when they defeated the genin in the special holiday training. Yamato, who almost defeated the genin, naturally became famous in one battle.
They found it strange that Yamato didn't graduate early. He had the strength to compete with Jonin. Instead of graduating and becoming an official ninja, they would contribute to Konoha and become a primary school student in the ninja school.
"Oriko, if you continue to work hard, you will definitely become an excellent ninja." Yamato also smiled and encouraged Hinata Oriko.
"Yeah!" Hinata Oriko nodded heavily, clenching her fists.
"Next, our respected Principal will be invited to the stage to give a speech. Everyone welcomes our Principal Sarutobi with applause."
After Mu Yue finished speaking, the host went on stage to say a few more words, and then invited Sarutobi Hiruzen to speak on stage.
Since the middle school was only newly established and had not many students, it was not separated from the elementary school. It only added some new departments, so there was no separate middle school principal.
Sarutobi Hiruzen happily walked up to the podium and gave a speech. He quite liked this kind of occasion.
"It's finally officially started. I'm really looking forward to the performance of the Ninja School graduates in a few years." Minato Namikaze, who was sitting next to Muzuki, looked at the students in the venue with a smile and said expectantly.
The reform was proposed by Mu Yue, and the plan was customized by Mu Yue, but most of the execution was done by Minato Namikaze, with a high degree of participation.
Namikaze Minato was looking forward to what kind of fruit this fruit tree that he worked hard to water and fertilize would bear.
In addition to wanting Konoha to be prosperous and powerful as a Konoha ninja, Namikaze Minato also wanted to prove his and Mugetsu's abilities.
The Ninja School has not changed much since the creation of the Nidaime. They made such a big change as soon as they took office. Some ninjas have criticized this, such as Mito Kadeni and Koharu Kaden among the top leaders.
If the reform of the ninja school is successful, those ninjas who think that they are too young to govern the village well will shut up. This is a political achievement that will last for a long time.
"I won't let you down." Mu Yue smiled lightly.
This is a reform he made based on the previous system and the teaching experience in the Naruto world. Even if the effect is not as expected, it will not be worse than the original.
"I have confidence, I just want to see that day come as soon as possible."
As the specific executor of the plan, Namikaze Minato's understanding of the reform of the ninja school is second only to Mu Yue, and he has full confidence in this reform.
The smile on Namikaze Minato's face became even brighter when he thought that his children would get a better education than himself.
This is the original intention of Konoha's founding, and it is also their will of fire.
……
Since the three major ninja villages deployed a large amount of intelligence forces in the Land of Rain, and the Ninja Sect did not deliberately hide it.
The cooperation between Konoha and the Ninja Sect on puppet prosthetics was soon learned by the three major ninja villages that had united.
The reason why Iwagakure and the others united was because of the Ninja sect and Konoha. When they heard that these two forces were developing and cooperating, they couldn't stay calm for a moment.
Gather more intelligence quickly and then call a meeting to discuss it.
Fortunately, after careful analysis of the intelligence, it was basically certain that this was an ordinary win-win cooperation between the Ninja Sect and Konoha.
The Ninja clan received money and technology, and Konoha received prosthetic limbs, allowing disabled ninjas to regain their usable combat power. However, because of this incident, Kumogakure and Iwagakure expressed doubts to Sunagakure, why don't you Sunagakure do such a good thing? Puppetry is Sunagakure's specialty.
Luo Sha was embarrassed and felt very shameless, but this did inspire Luo Sha.
The Ninja sect can produce puppet prosthetics, so there is no reason why Sunagakure Village, which has many outstanding puppet masters, cannot produce one.
So relying on the joint strength of the three villages, Luo Sha obtained a puppet prosthetic made by the Ninja Sect, gathered the puppet masters of Sunagakure Village, and asked them to decipher the technology.
Iwagakure Village and Kumogakure Village are also very interested in prosthetic technology. After all, who doesn't already have a group of disabled ninjas?
With years of war and threatening high-level missions, it was impossible for the ninjas to return safely every time. They were lucky enough to be alive at the expense of their limbs. More ninjas were killed directly in battle.
As a result, the three major ninja villages deepened their alliance, with Kumogakure and Iwagakure providing money, and Sunagakure providing technology, and secretly built a research institute specializing in prosthetics.
In fact, for Iwagakure and Kumogakure, it would be more cost-effective to directly purchase the finished prosthetic limbs from the Ninja Sect.
But they are unwilling to send money to the Ninja Sect, so even if they spend more money, they still choose to spend money on research instead of buying finished products from the Ninja Sect.
When the three major ninja villages carried out various operations, they also collected information about the reform of the Konoha Ninja School, but they did not immediately follow up on the reform.
Just as Kirigakure Village tried to use the blood mist policy to strengthen itself, other great ninja villages have also more or less carried out reforms in ninja training.
But either it was a side effect like Kirigakure, or the improvement was not big, and the strength of the graduates did not change much after a while.
Therefore, the current great ninja villagers are not keen on education reform. They generally believe that the current education system is complete enough, and changes may be superfluous.
In addition, Konoha's efforts to reform the ninja school are not small, and the three major ninja villages are even more afraid to follow up. If there are problems with the reform, it will not be a trivial matter.
Therefore, the three major ninja villages were quite happy to see Konoha's reform, and they were just waiting for Konoha's failure to laugh.
Six years was changed to seven years, and it was divided into two parts. If something went wrong, the impact would definitely be huge.
Without paying much attention to the reform of the ninja school, the three major ninja villages further strengthened their cooperation and sent ninjas to infiltrate the ninja sect to explore Sosuke's intelligence.
However, there has been little progress in the two important tasks of infiltrating the Ninja Sect and detecting Soyousuke's intelligence. However, the research institute soon made gains.
On the premise of having a finished product, the institute produced phased results within half a year, successfully transplanting the puppet prosthesis they made to a disabled ninja without any side effects.
This is exciting news for the three major ninja villages.
As long as there is another breakthrough in the chakra meridian system of the puppet prosthesis, then the research will be considered a complete success.
Even this initial achievement is not worthless and can be sold to wealthy disabled people among ordinary people.
However, for the three major ninja villages, the greatest significance of this achievement is not to sell money, but to stabilize their cooperation.
You know, just a year or two ago, these three ninja villages were still at war with each other.
Even if they are forced to cooperate because of the pressure brought by the Ninja Sect and Konoha, there are still many ninjas in the village who have objections to this.
Especially if there are no positive benefits from the cooperation, the opposition in the village will become even louder.
What's the point of enduring nausea and cooperating with an enemy with a blood feud, only to get nothing out of it.
It's easy to say if there are benefits, most ninja wars are because of profits.
As long as the benefits are enough, enemies can become friends.
But what the three great ninja villages didn't expect was that the last step was not so easy to take.
The Sunagakure puppet masters at the institute worked hard for more than half a year after achieving initial results, but still failed to successfully produce a puppet prosthetic like the Ninja Sect.
The institute's research has temporarily hit a bottleneck, and Soyousuke's assassination unit is even worse. There has been no practical results since its establishment.
For a whole year, they have not been able to find out information of sufficient value. No matter how they evaluate it, the final result is that the assassination fails, even if the three Kages, the Kazekage, the Tsuchikage and the Raikage are assassinated together.
"Can we only watch the rise of the Ninja sect under the leadership of Soyousuke?" Onoki sat on the chair in Tsuchikage's office, showing a sad look.
If it weren't for the threat of Konoha and Kirigakure, he estimated that the three major ninja villages would not be able to unite.
They were able to unite, Soyousuke and the Ninja Sect were important factors.
Unable to successfully kill Sosuke, unable to curb the development of the Ninja sect, and coupled with the conflicts within the village, disbandment is almost inevitable.
Ohnoki rubbed his brows. The only thing that made him happy in the past year was that he became a grandfather.
Huang Tu's wife became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, named Black Tu.
Ohnoki has high expectations for this granddaughter, hoping that she can inherit his mantle and not let Chen escape be lost.
Even if someone teaches a complex ninjutsu like Dust Release, it is extremely difficult to learn. If you only have the information, the possibility of mastering it is even slimmer.
Onoki planned to take Kurotsuchi by his side and teach him personally when he is a little older, so as not to let Kurotsuchi become too obedient.
As a shadow, he hopes that his subordinates will be honest, but he does not want his heir to be honest.
Being too honest in what the leader needs to do will have negative effects.
It happened that the house leaked and it rained all night, and just when various conflicts arose on the three major ninja village alliances, the Ninja Sect made another technological breakthrough, and it was a breakthrough in ninjutsu scrolls.
When the information was sent back to Sosuke's assassination force base, the captain and deputy captain were alerted, immediately reported it and held a meeting to discuss it.
This is not the same level of technology as a puppet prosthetic.
What is a Ninjutsu scroll? In a literal sense, it is a scroll that can be used as a Ninjutsu scroll.
Some seal the ninjutsu directly into the scroll, and some use special craftsmanship to make spells, such as detonating charms.
Even a newly graduated genin can understand the impact of a breakthrough in this technology.
Ninja tools are also one of the components of a ninja's strength, and can even be a specialty of being a jounin.
Ninjutsu scrolls are undoubtedly considered advanced ninja tools. If there is a breakthrough in this technology, it will be beneficial to all ninjas in the entire force and can enhance the overall military strength of a force.
PS: In fact, Shippuden can use scrolls to store and release ninjutsu, not Boruto.
Jiraiya was able to seal Amaterasu into the scroll. Shikamaru, who had no change in the properties of water chakra in the formula book, used the scroll to release water escape during the battle with Kakuzu Hidan.
So I think it may be that the technology was not perfect at that time, production was very troublesome, and the output was low and the price was high, so there were few people using it, but the scientific ninja tools had already taken shape.
