Transmigrating as the Third Hokage: Make Konoha Great Again!

Although it was to encourage his son, he also believed in youth.

But he was only a genin, and couldn't possibly make demands of the Hokage in such a situation...

Matt Day lowered his head helplessly.

His reaction was also observed by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As for Might Guy, Hiruzen Sarutobi is only memorable because of his flamboyant appearance.

However, during my recent morning exercises…

He could always see Might and his son running laps around Konoha from a high vantage point, engaging in various physical training exercises.

It has long surpassed the scope of an ordinary genin.

It just lacks some systematic guidance.

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned around and called out, "Dai, what are you standing there for? Come here..."

Matt Day looked up in disbelief.

Is the Third Generation Lord calling me?

Why call him a low-ranking ninja?

And still so friendly?

044 The Eight Gates Formation, are there still masters of it?

"Dad, the Hokage is calling you!"

Might Guy tugged hard at Might Guy's sleeve and whispered in surprise, "The Third Hokage actually knows you! Are you friends with the Third Hokage...?"

Matt Day then snapped out of his daze.

"Ah, yes!" He nodded subconsciously, but his cheeks flushed.

No father wants to lose face in front of his son.

But as a champion of youth, lying is something that makes him feel ashamed.

“Third Hokage…” Might Guy greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi with a slightly awkward expression.

"Dai, you're here for your morning exercise too?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile, "How many laps did I run with my son today?"

When this topic was brought up, Matt Damon couldn't help but puff out his chest slightly, and a sense of confidence crept in:

"You've already run three hundred laps around the inner ring of the village! Seeing your youth and hard work, Kai and I are planning to add another three hundred!"

Sakumo Hatake, standing to the side, subtly shifted his gaze.

He also has a well-known quality in the village—the ability to see the potential in others.

"For a child this age, are the calluses on their palms already this thick?" Sakumo Hatake's gaze became more serious. "Their bone structure is also developing very well..."

If the intensity of running 600 laps is true, it is already quite impressive.

Asceticism is not something that can be achieved simply by talking about it.

To reach this level of skill, unwavering willpower is only one aspect.

Their physical gifts are also absolutely extraordinary.

Kakashi, standing to the side, secretly rolled his eyes.

He knew about Matt Kay and Matt Day, the father-son duo, based on the powerful eye-catching appeal of youth performance art…

"This guy wants to get into the Ninja Academy, but he can't even use ninjutsu..." Kakashi suppressed the urge to make a sharp comment and muttered to himself, "Six hundred laps? What a load of bull!"

After all, the Hokage is here.

"What an excellent child!" Hiruzen Sarutobi praised Might Guy heartily, having a rough idea of ​​what he was like due to his daily morning training.

Matt Day was telling the truth.

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's praise, Might Guy's eyes lit up immediately.

Aside from his father, this was the first time he had received affirmation from someone else…

It's even from Naruto!

"How is your child doing at the ninja academy?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked casually.

"We haven't even enrolled yet, and you're already a third-generation master!" Might Guy's tone lowered slightly, but then brightened again: "But we'll do our best! We'll definitely get in..."

Matt Kai raised his head and then lowered it again.

In front of others, he might even give a thumbs up and say, "Thanks for the support!"

But in Naruto...

"Didn't get in? Doesn't the Ninja Academy have a make-up exam?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Dai, tell me the whole story."

The first exam at the Ninja Academy was a comprehensive test of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

The remedial exam is for children with special talents in a particular area, and can be compared to the mechanism of 'Special Jonin'.

With Matt Kay's talent, if he were to be overlooked...

That means that the ninja academy's admissions staff, if not a major problem, are at least slacking off!

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed, the air seemed to freeze...

Just moments ago it felt like a gentle breeze, but suddenly it turned chilly.

Matt Day hesitated for a moment.

The man's nose twitched unusually: "That day, I saw you, Third Hokage, sparring with Orochimaru, and heard your declaration to protect the village..."

"I'm so excited!"

"Kai did the same; we overdid it with extra practice, and as a result, he didn't get enough rest on the day of the makeup exam..."

"This is a mistake of youth, a failure to take cultivation seriously!"

"So Kai and I thought that if people disrespect the village's exam, we'd punish them by making them enroll a year later and double their training this year..."

A few crows flew overhead at just the right moment, cawing a few times.

The serious atmosphere vanished without a trace.

Hiruzen Sarutobi almost lost his composure.

The thought processes of ninjas are too unique and diverse; I still need to adapt to them.

I initially thought there was a problem with the ninja academy…

“Dai, your intentions are good.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly, "But a ninja's training is not just about hard work; it requires systematic educational resources and the ability to showcase one's talent at the right time."

“If Kai doesn’t enter the Ninja Academy, then no one will evaluate him in a timely manner. In the future, the village will carry out targeted training for Ninja Academy students, and even those with the qualifications will miss out.”

Might Guy felt a pang of sadness: "Hokage-sama..."

Why would I say such intimate things to a low-ranking ninja like him?

“I can see your heart is made of gold, Dai.” Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head: “But sometimes, too much restraint is not good…”

"As Hokage, I often worry about one thing."

How can we ensure that children and everyone else have access to appropriate resources?

"If a hard-working genius like Kai didn't get into the Ninja Academy, I would feel like I've failed him."

Matt Day was horrified: "Please don't say that!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi remarked with emotion, "The ninjas in the village are truly wonderful..."

“People like you and Kai feel guilty even if you have to take the exam one more time.”

"As Hokage, I'm terrified of leaving behind comrades who possess such a strong Will of Fire..."

"So, Dai, remember this: if you achieve something in your spiritual practice, be sure to contact the village for assistance. Even if you have some shortcomings, the village will find a suitable position for you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said this from the bottom of his heart.

He also remembered some things about Matt Day…

Aside from his youth, no one wanted to team up with him because of his shortcomings as a ninja in terms of teamwork and tactics…

Therefore, he could only do odd jobs such as carrying bags and finding cats, and was once called a 'cat-finding expert'.

"Let Kai go to school..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi reached into his pocket and asked Sakumo without changing his expression, "Did you bring any money?"

The Hokage rarely carries money when he goes out.

"I brought it, I brought it." Sakumo Hatake handed the wallet to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Luckily he brought it...

"I'll pay you back later."

Hiruzen Sarutobi counted out 100,000 ryo: "Genin Dai, the village has an important mission for you!"

Might Guy instinctively stood up straight: "Hokage-sama, please give the order!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi handed the stack of papers to Might Guy: "Make sure the village has adequate nutrition for the future. Physical training and rigorous training are part of it, but rest and nutrition are also essential..."

"If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"
