Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 335 Enrollment (Fourth update! Requesting monthly votes!)

"Knock knock knock~"

"Enter."

The door to the Mizukage's office opened, and Ao walked straight in, somewhat pleased.

"Tachibana, registration for the Ninja Academy is over, but you really have to show up at the opening ceremony later."

While processing documents, Tachibana Kanakawa looked up and saw Ao's slightly excited expression, and smiled in response.

"Oh? So the registration went very well this time?"

At this moment, Qing also abandoned her usual serious and composed demeanor, excitedly taking a list and handing it to Jianchuan Ju, while saying to herself.

"It's been a huge success! Not only are many ninja clans scrambling to get their children into the ninja academy, but the number of children from ordinary families has also increased compared to previous years."

"If you hadn't emphasized before that you could relax some age restrictions, I estimate that many clan ninjas would have lied about their children's age to get them into school."

After hearing Qing's report, Jianchuan Ju's smile became even brighter.

"Okay, that's definitely a good thing. I'll definitely be there for the opening ceremony."

In the past, due to the brutal elimination system of the ninja academy under the Blood Mist Policy, most ninja clans would not send their younger members to the ninja academy.

After all, although the average quality of ninja clan disciples is definitely higher than that of ordinary students, it is still hard to guarantee that they will not be forcibly besieged or targeted by clans they do not get along with.

This led to the premature death of a potentially very talented young man in the clan.

Moreover, most powerful ninja clans do not believe that the training level of ninja academies can surpass that of their own clan's private schools.

Even a few years ago, thanks to Yagura Karatachi's schemes and efforts, the Ninja Academy had already abolished the graduation exams that Zabuza's class had taken.

However, this only guaranteed the survival rate of ninja academy students, and did not lead to large clan ninjas sending their own children to ninja academies.

Within Kirigakure, the severe factional antagonism between commoner ninjas and clan ninjas stems largely from the education and estrangement they received from childhood.

However, since he was clearly aware of the existence of such a problem, Tachibana Kanagawa, the Mizukage, naturally could not choose to ignore it.

Forcing ninja families to send their children to school is not impossible given Tachibana Kanagawa's current prestige, but it will inevitably cause resentment among some people.

The actual results are not necessarily good. In the end, it is very likely that the major families will send some of their unpopular collateral relatives to the ninja academy to get by.

So Kenkawa Tachibana simply started spreading the news directly.

They will select talented students from the outstanding graduates of the next few ninja academies to become their apprentices.

As soon as the news was released, countless well-informed people rushed around to verify it, just to confirm whether the matter was true.

It's important to understand that Tachibana Kanagawa at this stage is not just a simple Mizukage.

Putting aside this political identity.

Tachibana Kanagawa is now known as the "Azure Flame White Disaster" in the ninja world, a reputation he earned by defeating Konoha, the strongest ninja village.

Beyond his straightforward strength, his ability to independently develop countless S-rank ninjutsu, secret techniques, bloodline limits, and bloodline elimination techniques also demonstrates his high level of expertise in ninjutsu.

Within Kirigakure, any parent or elder with even a modicum of ambition would naturally scramble to send their child to the Ninja Academy as a stepping stone.

Moreover, because the war had just ended, there were not enough ninjas in the village.

Jianchuan Tachibana has also expanded the age range for this year's registration to 5-7 years old.

This explains the current bustling scene at the recruitment event.

However, Tachibana Kanakawa was still a little worried and asked Ao.

"Are there any problems with the teaching staff and classroom facilities?"

Before Qing could even speak.

Elder Yuan Shi stepped forward and provided an answer for him.

"There are definitely enough teachers."

"You previously suggested that some of the wounded and cruel survivors who had withdrawn from the battlefield be included in the later stages of the work, and many of them were assigned to the Ninja Academy."

"However, the teaching space will indeed be a bit crowded. The training field is fine, as it can be relocated. But the indoor teaching space will have to be squeezed in by the students for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju simply nodded.

"Let's talk about school expansion later. The number of students at the Ninja Academy has decreased in the past two years due to the war. This year's class should be enough to make do."

There are just too many things to do during this period, although establishing a new school will trigger an achievement.

However, Tachibana Kenkawa is not planning to undertake such a large-scale project for the time being.

Moreover, the original purpose was to allow the new generation of students to get to know each other and integrate, but setting up a branch school might have the opposite effect.

When the topic of cruelty was brought up, Tachibana Kanagawa suddenly thought of something else.

While pondering, he lightly tapped his fingers on the table and asked Elder Yuan Shi a question.

"How's the investigation going with that White Zetsu corpse after it was sent to the medical department?"

"That thing might be able to help injured ninjas regenerate their severed limbs."

In the original work, Obito, Danzo, Madara, and Naruto after the war all used limbs cultivated from White Zetsu cells to repair their bodies.

Although it's unclear whether ordinary people can withstand the erosion of white blood cells, at least studying it won't cause any harm.

After all, not everyone is like Kurihara Kushimaru.

They are willing to spend a significant portion of their lifespan to restore severed limbs.

Moreover, the number of wounded Kirigakure ninja is not small, and as the Mizukage, Tachibana Kenkawa cannot treat everyone.

As Elder Yuan watched Jianchuan Ju tap the table, a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

However, he answered quickly.

"The reply from the head of the medical department, Keiko Saigyouji, a couple of days ago was that there were no leads at the moment."

"Moreover, she herself suggested that she should focus on the hospital's treatment work, and she didn't have much confidence in the research aspect."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju paused for a moment, stopped what she was doing, and blurted out.

"Um, why doesn't Aunt Huizi just say it directly?"

Jianchuan Ju stopped halfway through her sentence.

I roughly understood what Saigyouji Keiko was thinking.

I guess they didn't want their relationship to influence their judgment.

Jianchuan Ju shook her head with amusement.

"The village is so small; how can you avoid interpersonal relationships?"

However, Tachibana Kenkawa went along with the other party's wishes and changed the subject.

"Let's put the research on the White Zetsu corpse in Laboratory Zero. From now on, Laboratory Zero will be renamed the Research Department, and I will be in charge of it directly."

Elder Yuanshi had no objection to this; it was only natural that research involving core secrets should be directly supervised by the Mizukage.

After dealing with these matters, Jianchuan Ju lowered her head again and began working.

However, before he could get fully absorbed in it, another new achievement popped up.

Having gotten used to the continuous stream of achievements lately, Tachibana Kanakawa didn't pay too much attention to it.

Click directly to claim your gold coin reward.

However, when her gaze fell upon the amount of gold coins she held, a slight smile appeared on Jianchuan Ju's face.

"Yo~ You've collected enough for another 10 pulls~"

I didn't sleep all night, and by 7 a.m. I was so sleepy that I decided to just ask the company for the day off.

I was thinking I could still write after I woke up, but I ended up sleeping until the afternoon.

After dinner and a walk with the dog, it was already past four o'clock. I lazed around for a while, and before I knew it, almost the whole day was over.

Well, I still managed to write another chapter, though.

I'll still post the extra chapter directly. As for whether there will be more later, or whether I can post it on time tonight, that remains to be seen.

Hehe, we'll talk about it later. Everyone, post it early so you can see it sooner.

(End of this chapter)
