Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 15 The third year of arrival
Open inside.

The exposed cold front revealed the dark ninja tool.

The quantity was not large, but all the necessary types were there. When Menma saw them, he was delighted.

Not to mention that the price of ninja tools is already very high. Even if Menma has money now, he can't buy these ninja tools at all.

He is still a 'wild beast' that everyone in the entire ninja world fears.

Walk into someone’s ninja tool shop.

The store owner was very restrained in not being kicked out. Do you still want to buy things?
That's just a joke.

In the original work, Naruto's status and reputation in the ninja village changed after graduation, because ninjas have a very special status in this world, and the people living in the ninja village have a deep understanding of this.

They are very clear that ordinary people cannot be on the same level as ninjas, and they must revere and respect ninjas. In the original work, Naruto's status also began to change from the moment of graduation.

In this life, Menma is still just a little kid in the ninja school.

status?

Let’s talk about it later.

Therefore, when Menma saw Iruka bringing so many ninja tools, he was naturally very happy.

"Thank you, Iruka-sensei! I will definitely study and practice harder."

Menma also looked at Iruka with a sincere look of joy as he thanked him.

"Haha, it would be the best if you could study hard, but you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest. You can't practice too much at your age, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Do you understand? Menma."

Iruka chuckled and patted Menma's little head, then changed the subject and spoke with a slight warning.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei."

Iruka didn't know what kind of mood he was in when facing Menma.

Originally, he was like most of the people of Konoha.

It is difficult to identify with Menma as the container of the Nine-Tails, and there is even a hint of resentment towards him.

But he is not an ordinary citizen.

He is a ninja, and a ninja trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He naturally knew very well what Jinchūriki meant.

To put it bluntly, intellectually, Iruka can clearly distinguish that the Nine-Tails is the Nine-Tails and Menma is Menma.

At first, it was just some emotional resistance.

And after nearly two years of getting along.

Iruka truly realized that Menma was a very hard-working child, but also a very pitiful child.

Menma's life situation is even more miserable and pitiful than his.

At least he had enjoyed the warmth of a family, while Menma was born without parents and was brought back by the Third Hokage after accidentally discovering him outside the village (this is what Sarutobi Hiruzen vaguely told Iruka about Menma's identity!)

And because of his special bloodline, he unknowingly became the container of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Is there anything wrong with having facial numbness?
Do not!
Nothing wrong at all.

It can even be said that since Menma became the container of the Nine-Tails when he was a baby, he can already be considered a hero of their Konohagakure Village.

All I can say is that things in the world will never go as we expect.

So it is.

Iruka was more concerned about Menma.

Unconsciously, he had even begun to treat Menma as his own younger brother.

"It's New Year again soon, and we're about to enter our third year of study at the Ninja Academy. Next, you'll be entering a phase where you focus on practical training and theoretical knowledge. Although you, Menma, are very talented in this area and have mastered the Three Body Technique in advance, it's still not stable enough, right? You still have to be modest and not conceited. You know there are still some students as good as you in our class. I hope you can keep up this momentum and graduate with the best grades in four years."

Iruka said with a serious face.

It was not a war era, and except for those born in the ninja clan who would receive some exclusive guidance and training in their own clan in advance, the learning in the ninja school was carried out step by step.

There is no need to quickly train some graduates and then send them to the battlefield to be cannon fodder!

We can spend more time to steadily develop some low- and mid-level basic combat power.

This is the most reliable approach.

Therefore, the first two years are purely theoretical knowledge learning, followed by intensive training in chakras.

This is a necessary foundation-laying stage for the training of children in the ninja school.

It is only in the third year that we focus on practical exercises.

The three body techniques, physical techniques, illusion techniques, etc., were just hints before, and only then did they really get into the main topic.

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Iruka."

Menma also puffed out his chest and replied loudly.

"Well, the teacher believes in you. I have something else to deal with, so I'll go back first! It's getting late today, so you should go back and rest early, too, Menma."

"Yes."

The New Year is approaching.

Another year has passed.

The 56th year of Konoha has arrived.

Menma also officially entered his third year of study at the Ninja School.

And in this year.

The courses announced in advance by the Ninja School are also compactly packed with various practical training subjects, including but not limited to some basic physical training, ninja tool throwing, trap setting, inspection, sparring between students, initial contact and training of the Three Body Technique, etc.

Then as these courses are added in.

The number of theoretical courses has only been reduced, but what is necessary is still there.

The gap between the students officially widened from this moment on.

Or to be more precise, it starts from the second year, because the real pure theoretical knowledge learning is in the first year, and the second year is the prerequisite course for the corresponding practical training.

Ninjas study in the same way as most students.

The significance of practice is always greater than theoretical learning.

The gap will also be very obvious.

At this moment, the class was divided into different clearly defined levels.

Menma naturally belongs to the first tier in the class.

Having already mastered the Three Body Technique.

Menma's overall grades have always been at the top of the class.

Erzhuzi, who was ranked first in the original time and space, can only be ranked second in the class, just below Menma in this life.

Although Haruno Sakura, who has invincible theoretical knowledge, can be on par with Menma in this aspect, her performance in practical combat is not as good as that in reality.

Haruno Sakura is far inferior.

It can only be ranked in the lower middle level.

The most important part of measuring a ninja school student's performance is still to look at his or her actual combat performance.

That is to say, even if you really fail every theoretical knowledge test during your six years of study in the ninja school, as long as you pass the practical assessment and the ninjutsu assessment.

In most cases, you can still graduate.
