Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Seeing that Aoba accepted the scroll, Yuhi nodded slightly, and the conversation became much more relaxed afterward.

It was mostly Kurenai Yuhi who was talking, and Aoba who was listening.

It mainly consisted of some important points about the Ninja Academy, and Kurenai Yuhi was finally able to understand some of them.

She greatly admired the way Aoba and her father communicated, even though she often couldn't understand what they were saying.

But she also really hopes that her father can treat her like he treats Aoba, and not always treat her like a child.

She had been looking forward to attending the Ninja Academy for a long time, especially since it was time for her to go.

My father always said that once I entered the Ninja Academy, I would no longer be an ordinary child.

After spending more time with Kurenai, Aoba could guess a little about her little thoughts, which was a normal psychological problem for a child.

Normally, he would tease Hong, but today was different; Uncle Zhen Hong really gave him a lot of useful information.

Ninja academies are, after all, places for training ninjas.

Ninjas are synonymous with killing.

How could a place that trains killing machines possibly teach useless things?

Don't be fooled by the fact that the ninja academy in the anime looks like a kindergarten; it's largely for the sake of advancing the plot.

Ninja academies are the easiest and safest place for most ordinary people to learn and master ninja skills.

Which are important, which are secondary, and which correspond to future situations? These need to be combined with practice, etc.

This gave him a basic framework for learning at the Ninja Academy.

Kurenai Yuhi truly treated him like one of her own, not only giving him ninjutsu scrolls but also guiding him on how to become a ninja academy student.

This is one of the advantages of having elders in the family; it represents the inheritance of family education.

It's similar to choosing a major in college entrance exams on Earth in my previous life.

If you're going in the wrong direction, wasting time is one thing, but what's truly worrisome is that it could ruin your entire life.

"Uncle Zhen Hong, I'll go back and prepare now."

Having benefited greatly, Aoba got up to say goodbye and leave.

Yuhi Shinku put down her teacup and nodded slightly.

"Hey, Aoba...brother, aren't you going to finish your meal before you leave?"

Hong, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised. Normally, in this situation, Aoba would stay and have a meal with them.

"No, Kurenai, I'm going to the Ninja Academy tomorrow, and I haven't prepared anything yet. I also need to make some arrangements at the shop."

Aoba explained with a smile.

After saying that, he took out another hawthorn candy from his pocket and handed it to Hong.

Hong instantly smiled and happily accepted it.

Aoba smiled and casually ruffled the red hair before taking his leave.

……

Nighttime, before bed.

Aoba checked the ninja tool bag and study supplies again before taking out the wooden box that Uncle Shinku had given him.

Unroll the scrolls one by one and examine them. Although there are many scrolls, most of them contain training methods and experience tips for ninjutsu. There are only four actual ninjutsu techniques.

[Fireball Technique], [Mind Reading Technique], [Body Flicker Technique], and [Ninja Beast Summoning Technique].

Just as he had guessed, they were all ninjutsu that Aoba Nakayama was skilled in.

Aoba's situation can be described as very fortunate, at least he still has the training scrolls left by his parents. Many civilian ninjas who sacrificed themselves on the battlefield received nothing but a small amount of compensation.

With the cultivation scrolls from the previous generation, one can avoid countless detours.

If the next generation shares the same characteristics, isn't too unintelligent, and avoids the mistakes of the previous generation, they can build upon that foundation and make further progress.

There's a reason why Yamashiro Aoba was introduced as a Special Jonin in the original work.

The ninjas who fought the reanimated Second Mizukage during the Fourth Shinobi World War were the true representation of the vast majority of ordinary ninjas.

His ninjutsu is of uncertain accuracy; his lethality mainly comes from throwing ninja tools. His taijutsu is only good enough to compete with ninjas of the same level. He is essentially a consumable on the battlefield.

These are the helplessness of ordinary ninjas.

Uncle Shinku gave the same thing: the principles, techniques, and defenses of illusion, along with two ninjutsu: one is [Illusion Release], and the other is the D-rank [Magic Illusion: Naraku's Appearance Technique], both of which are very practical ninjutsu.

Aoba picked up a scroll, unfolded it, and began to examine it.

However, he did not start practicing immediately, but instead first collected the materials.

"System, begin scanning."

Aoba gave the order in his mind.

"Beep! Task established, scanning to begin."

"New ninjutsu information detected. Create new file..."

"Scanning main information, simulating ninjutsu effects..."

"..."

As the auxiliary chip began to operate, Aoba could clearly feel his chakra being rapidly depleted.

Aoba's chakra wasn't much, but it wasn't little either; it was far beyond what others his age possessed.

This is largely thanks to his height, which is far beyond that of his peers.

7 years old, 1.4 meters tall.

They're almost catching up to the senior students at the Ninja Academy.

This was even with him refraining from extracting chakra; if he had extracted chakra normally, the amount would have been even greater.

The only time he refined chakra was before he awakened his memories; he has never refined chakra since.

Aside from not wanting to push her body too hard too early, she also had a certain aversion to chakra deep down.

As those who have read the original work know, chakra is an alien power with a backdoor, making it naturally countered by the Otsutsuki clan.

Since I've transmigrated into the body of an indigenous person, I definitely need to test the power of the locals.

Natural energy!

However, it turns out that time-travel novels are all lies.

For two years, Aoba tried meditation and emptying her mind but could not perceive natural energy. Even with the help of a chip, she could not block out some of her senses.

As for the claim mentioned in the original work that one needs a large amount of chakra to sense natural energy, Aoba scoffed at it.

Before the Otsutsuki descended upon the ninja world, the native supernatural systems did not exist normally.

On the contrary, it was the invasion of chakra that caused the original supernatural system to collapse, since chakra is a supernatural power that is easier to control.

Aoba speculated that sensing natural energy might require a special physique, like Jugo's, or the ability to sense natural energy by creating a siphon or infiltration effect with a large amount of chakra.

Of course, we'll have to try these things gradually later.

Soon, the chakra in his body was depleted to a certain extent, and the chip stopped operating. This was a warning line set by Aoba to prevent the chip from excessively extracting chakra and damaging his body.

This is just right. I roll up the reel, turn off the lights, and go to sleep.

Soon, Aoba smoothly drifted off to sleep.

An hour later.

A treetop outside swayed gently, and two leaves slowly fell...

……

The next day, Aoba woke up on time as prompted by the chip.

After a short stretch of activity, washing up and changing clothes, I headed to the evening house.

Good morning, Aoba-kun.

Good morning, Aunt Nadeshiko.

Aoba greeted them, then turned to look at Kurenai, somewhat surprised, and said, "Good morning, Kurenai. You didn't sleep in today."

Kurenai Yuhi looked smug. "From today onwards, I'm a student at the Ninja Academy and a ninja. Don't underestimate me, Ao-ba-kun."

"Yes, yes, yes, Kurenai-kun, no, I should say Kurenai-sama."

Aoba nodded, pretending to be serious.

"Hmph, that wretched Aoba..."
