Seeing that his intimidation had worked, Sarutobi Nuoyi gave his wife, who had suggested the idea, a thumbs up in his heart.
Because he was somewhat weak and not suitable to be a Ninja, he was arranged by the Family head to be a teacher at the Ninja Academy.
Sarutobi Nuoyi, who really didn't know how to interact with students, learned after consulting his wife that he only needed to maintain a stern face and appear imposing.
To be even more intimidating, Sarutobi Nuoyi even asked his wife to help draw a scar on his face.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Sarutobi Nuoyi used the podium as a shield, pinched his thigh hard, and began to speak.
"Hello everyone, I am Sarutobi Nuoyi, your teacher for the next six years. I like obedient students and dislike disobedient ones. If you have any issues, you can come to me, but try not to. Alright, starting from you, one by one, come up and introduce yourselves."
After speaking, he stood by the door with his arms crossed, his face stern, staring intently at the person on the stage.
But in reality, his entire back was soaked with sweat; he was merely standing by the door to catch some breeze and calm down.
"Hello everyone..."
"Hello everyone, my name is Hinata Hizashi. My hobby is assisting my elder brother. As for what I dislike... there's nothing I dislike."
Bei Xuan propped his face, looking at the Byakugan youth on the podium, especially the bandage on his forehead.
"He's so young and already has the Caged Bird Seal? What a difficult Family to describe."
In Bei Xuan's opinion, the Hyuga Clan's Caged Bird Seal was largely a normal policy; it was just that problems arose between the main Family and branch Family, and the Caged Bird Seal's functions had acquired some unnecessary additions.
After all, an eye that was easily activated would truly arouse the greed of many people in this plug-and-play Ninja World. It was understood that the value of each Byakugan reached an exorbitant price in the underground exchange.
It's likely that in Boruto, the Hyuga Clan still hasn't mentioned lifting the Caged Bird Seal for this reason. If the Caged Bird Seal were lifted and the Hyuga didn't have enough strength, they would probably not be far from extinction.
From the Sengoku period all the way to the era of Boruto, regardless of the wars, the Hyuga Clan's presence remained, even becoming the Ninja World's top Dojutsu Family at one point, which cannot be separated from the role of the Caged Bird Seal.
The Uchiha and Senju, however, had declined in the long river of time and could no longer be considered Families.
"Hello everyone, I am Minato Namikaze. My dream is to become a qualified Hokage. I haven't encountered anything I dislike yet. It's a pleasure to meet you all!"
After Hinata Hizashi, a Xiao Huang Mao walked onto the podium. Looking at Minato Namikaze's gentle smile, Bei Xuan greatly agreed with Kushina's later description.
The young Minato was really so feminine; he was prettier than most of the girls in the class.
After Minato Namikaze, the others also came up one after another to introduce themselves, but Bei Xuan didn't see Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku.
It should be because they were training within their Families and did not join the Ninja Academy.
Soon it was Bei Xuan's turn.
"Hello everyone, my name is Bei Xuan. I don't particularly like or dislike anything. As for my dream, it's probably to become a good Medical Ninja."
How to put it, in Bei Xuan's opinion, before fully maturing, being a Medical Ninja and staying in the rear was quite good.
Furthermore, learning some Medical Ninjutsu and knowledge could also help him better understand his own body.
Bei Xuan learned Chakra extraction techniques after his mother passed away when he was five.
However, what made Bei Xuan somewhat uncomfortable was that in his imagination, his Qi should be separate from Chakra, so he could have two mana bars.
Unfortunately, the first time Bei Xuan successfully extracted Chakra, the Qi in his body merged with the newly extracted Chakra.
In this year, the Qi and Chakra in Bei Xuan's body had already fused, forming a new deep blue energy.
Using this energy, he could use the Golden Light Curse, but Bei Xuan didn't know if he could still use Ninjutsu. Bei Xuan's parents hadn't left him any Ninjutsu scrolls.
"Everyone, you have ten minutes to gather at the school playground for the Hokage-sama to host the opening ceremony!"
Sarutobi Nuoyi immediately walked in and said after the last person finished their introduction.
Every year, Hiruzen Sarutobi would come to the Ninja Academy to give a speech on the Fire Will for the opening ceremony, and this time was no exception.
Sarutobi Nuoyi led Bei Xuan's entire class to the playground. Standing in the crowd, Bei Xuan looked up at the man on the stage wearing a Hokage robe.
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi was in his prime, standing on the stage with a warm, spring-like smile on his face. The sunlight shining on him made him look very infectious from afar.
As expected of the Fire Will, a Genjutsu as renowned as Kotoamatsukami, even Bei Xuan couldn't help but feel that Hiruzen Sarutobi at this moment was very approachable.
Overall, Hiruzen Sarutobi was successful.
A few sentences like "Where Konoha dances, fire burns. The fire's light will continue to illuminate the Village and cause new leaves to sprout" followed.
Many of the new students below became Blood boiling, shouting that they wanted to become Hokage. Bei Xuan paid attention to Minato Namikaze, whose face was also full of excitement.
However, what made Bei Xuan uncomfortable was that Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke for over an hour. Speeches are indeed a very effective way to influence others' thoughts.
As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, the hot-blooded idiots below cheered for just as long.
Even after dismissal, these hot-blooded idiots hadn't calmed down, finding each other and beginning to fantasize about becoming "Hokage" in the future and dedicating their strength to the Village.
As for Bei Xuan, he didn't show much expression throughout. He didn't think he could convincingly act as if he was deeply moved by the Fire Will.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't some foolish college student; for someone who had never experienced politics to act in front of him was truly overestimating himself.
Who knows, while this old man was speaking, there might have been Ninja nearby taking notes.
After dismissal, they naturally returned to their respective classes, where the teachers would teach Chakra extraction techniques. However, it seemed there was no one in Bei Xuan's class who actually needed teaching.
All of them had already mastered Chakra before school even started. This was probably why Bei Xuan and these individuals from prominent Families were assigned to the same class.
Then a very interesting scene occurred: Sarutobi Nuoyi on the stage was lecturing on Chakra extraction techniques, while those below were either cultivating, sleeping, or chatting, minding their own business.
Of course, it wasn't that no one was listening to Sarutobi Nuoyi's lecture, such as our future Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.
Although Bei Xuan didn't have Naiki, he could still sense whether a person possessed Chakra. This was an ability brought by his cultivation of nature.
However, after observing his classmates and teacher for a long time, Bei Xuan also realized that his teacher didn't seem as fierce as he appeared.
Rather than lecturing, he was more reciting a script and didn't even look at what the students were doing.
Two words popped into Bei Xuan's mind.
"Social anxiety!"
Bei Xuan suddenly felt that his Ninja Academy life would likely not be too lonely.
Sarutobi Nuoyi, who was in the middle of reciting his prepared lesson plan, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
