Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 22 The Ninja Academy System is Unreasonable!

"Lack of flexibility?"

Tsunade's summary.

Jingyan nodded: "Yes, in my opinion, high-level ninjas need a lot of theoretical knowledge, but at the genin and chunin levels, practice is more important than theory."

Then, he used climbing trees and wading in water as examples.

"As a genin, do I need to know why climbing trees and treading water can improve my chakra control? No, I just need to know that this method can make me stronger!"

Tsunade fell into deep thought.

Kyohiko's words...

She hadn't thought of it before, but upon hearing it, it seemed to make a lot of sense.

For most genin, many theoretical foundations are useless, and in-depth study is meaningless.

but.

To advance from a genin to a chunin, certain knowledge is essential.

"But this was founded by the Second Hokage..."

"The Second Hokage was great, but he also had his limitations. The system itself should change with the times."

"But much of this knowledge is useful."

Tsunade frowned.

She wasn't just arguing; she was debating with Kyohiko and with herself.

This kind of thing requires utmost caution; it can only be implemented after it has been confirmed that the direction is good.

"You think Chunin need this knowledge, right?"

Jing Yan said.

Tsunade nodded.

"But as you said, it's only needed at the Chunin level, so it shouldn't be something taught at the Ninja Academy. It should be something you need to improve and learn after becoming a Genin."

Jing Yan said.

Tsunade thought about it and couldn't help but agree.

Genin...

In practice, what is used most are the ninja's experience and combat skills.

"Categorize and classify..."

Tsunade's thoughts gradually became clearer.

They crammed a lot of theory into the ninja academy, but in reality, for most ordinary children, this theoretical knowledge was "unsatisfying" and could not make them stronger.

From their perspective—

Instead of learning those things, it's better to get a general understanding and spend more time improving your skills. At least that way, you can survive on the battlefield and in missions after graduation.

Only by surviving can we have a future.

This line of thinking is correct.

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Anything else?"

"I'm just talking about what I've encountered and thought about; how would I know the specifics of how to do it?"

Jingyan chuckled.

Tsunade rolled her eyes.

"So you're telling me?"

"Yes! Aren't you waiting for news in the village lately? You're just idling around anyway, so you have to find something to do. Doing this is better than losing money at the casino."

Kyohiko answered naturally.

At first, Tsunade thought it made sense, but later she couldn't help but feel her veins bulging.

"Kid, do you want a beating?"

What are you saying!

Am I destined to lose money?

But considering my luck...

Ok.

Winning money is definitely not as good as losing money.

Tsunade calmed her anger and said, "Move it in. There's only this much this time. I'll get the rest after you've looked through it."

"besides?"

Jingyan was speechless.

Tsunade nodded: "Of course, how could so many ninjutsu be created without sufficient knowledge and practice?"

She sat to the side, completely unperturbed, with no intention of helping.

In reality, Tsunade was thinking about what Kyohiko had said.

The ninjutsu taught at the ninja academy is very basic, and the combat skills are limited to kunai throwing and basic taijutsu. It can be said that not much is taught in terms of combat.

Those from wealthy families are alright.

However, this is very unfair to ordinary people.

Kyohiko's meaning...

It was clearly a suggestion that she should do this and push for reform of the Ninja Academy.

Tsunade has this prestige, but she also has her own concerns.

Jingyan was reading a book beside her, deep in thought.

The two did not disturb each other.

After a long time, Tsunade got up.

"Take your time reading. I'm leaving now. If you have any questions, go ask your teacher."

"it is good."

Jingyan didn't look up.

He was so engrossed in the book that he couldn't tear himself away.

The diary in his hand contained a jumble of thoughts and knowledge, and judging from the writing, the content should be related to the creation process of shadow clones.

"Tobirama Senju is truly a genius!"

Jingyan couldn't help but sigh.

Before I knew it, my stomach started growling.

He's hungry!

Look out.

The sun was blazing and the heat was unbearable, yet he was already drenched in sweat.

"It's already noon?"

Jingyan found it hard to believe.

He lowered his head.

I've only read four or five notebooks...

How can I possibly finish reading all of this?

"There are priorities. I need to choose what I need most first, and then tackle the rest slowly."

Jingyan regained his senses.

These books are precious, but they also take a lot of time, and he doesn't have much free time to bury himself in them.

First, identify what you need, and then transform it into strength!

What's needed most right now...

Of course, it's a shadow clone.

He got up and left home, went to have a meal first, and then searched around before finally finding Jiraiya at his house.

Jiraiya must have been writing something, as there were some barely noticeable ink stains on his hands.

"What is it?"

"Teacher, I want to learn how to use shadow clones."

Jing Yan said.

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then said, "You want to use it to read books?"

"Well, I'll practice the skills I need now, and let my shadow clone read the book. That way, I can do both without any problems."

Jingyan nodded.

Jiraiya's expression was serious: "This is a method, but it's very dangerous. You could even die if you're not careful. You must be careful not to take any risks."

"I see."

Jingyan nodded.

Jiraiya immediately taught him the hand seals and techniques for creating shadow clones.

Its difficulty level is B.

Jingyan had read the book before and knew some of the techniques. Obtaining the hand seals and secrets of the techniques would save him the time of research.

Back home, he studied it for a while and tried it again...

Thanks to his improved chakra control and the Second Hokage's notes, he quickly mastered the technique.

soon.

The "Shadow Clone" ability has been added to the "Skills" section.

After trying a few more times and pondering it for a while,

It has reached the "proficient" level.

"These ideas and tips will help me improve faster and save me a lot of time."

Jingyan understood.

This further motivated him to read.

Shadow Clone Technique!

After exchanging a glance, the clones silently sat down to read.

Jingyan then began to train.

According to Tobirama Senju's notes and his own ideas, the process of honing the "compression" nature transformation can be used as a practice exercise for "chakra manipulation ability".

……

In the evening, Tsunade found Jiraiya again.

"How is it?"

"I've thought about it carefully and I think it's feasible. These are the parts I've thought of, and the resistance shouldn't be too great."

Jiraiya produced his outline.

It says above—

Climbing trees and wading through water to cultivate oneself.

Basic ninjutsu training.

Physical skills.

Teamwork.

Tsunade also handed over her own written document, which represented the direction she believed could be changed—

Early training!

Jiraiya was somewhat surprised when he received it.

"Pre-training individuals suitable to become medical ninjas?"

"To be precise, it means cultivating ninjas with the intention and talent in advance. A lot of knowledge related to medical ninjas needs to be mastered in advance, and it cannot be done overnight."

Tsunade explained.

Jiraiya nodded.

He understood; he was simply astonished by Tsunade's grand gesture.

This is different from simply adding courses; for the Ninja Academy, it will directly change its system and operating model.

This guy was so down before, but suddenly he's full of energy again.

Is Kyohiko really that capable?

Is it...

Will Jingyan have to keep her there afterward?

Jiraiya pondered.

Tsunade whispered something to each other.

"What I'm worried about is that the old man, the old ghost of the Anbu, and those two advisors are all very old-fashioned. They didn't support me when it came to the medical ninja thing."

"Ahem, don't call Danzo that. He was, after all, a student of the Second Hokage and had many merits."

Jiraiya coughed lightly.

Tsunade curled her lip in disdain.

"That was before. Now, ha, what have they been doing?"

"Well..."

Jiraiya sighed, knowing that Tsunade was telling the truth.

Let's not talk about things further back.

As for Sakumo Hatake, the Third Hokage should at least bear the responsibility for indifference and inaction, but it's even harder to say about the Anbu member. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't expect Sakumo to go to such extremes.

When these topics were discussed, both he and Tsunade seemed somewhat disheartened and disappointed.

but.

Seeing the outline in their hands, Jiraiya and Tsunade perked up again.

"Should we go and ask Orochimaru?"

"Him?"

Tsunade thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, if we can get his support, the three of us submitting together should be a sure thing."

"Um."
