Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Kushina and Mikoto walked in, their striking red hair immediately drawing attention.

"Tsukiki, you're here! Are there so many people here? Have Minato and Jiraiya-sensei returned too?"

"Oh, you're here for ramen too?"

Tsukiki greeted him with a smile.

Kushina and Mikoto were both stunned. Who would have thought that such a small ramen shop would have so many important people?

All three legendary Sannin, including Konoha's White Fang, are prominent figures.

"Fine, you leave Kakashi at my house and take care of him, then bring Sumo to eat ramen without even taking me with you."

In the short time that followed, while Kushina and Mikoto were still standing at the door, another person walked in.

With a smile, Yuhi Shinku chuckled and cursed, but she was stunned for a moment when she saw the scene in the shop.

But after a short while, he joined in; they were all elite Jonin level, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

Little Yile was a bit flustered, while Old Yile continued making ramen calmly, but Little Yile's hands were trembling as he held the noodles.

"With your looks, you think you can get rid of the name Yi Le?"

The father laughed, which made the little boy force himself to calm down.

"Humph."

Old Yile looked at Little Yile's appearance, snorted, and secretly raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

The shop was filled with laughter and chatter as the three ninjas reunited and reminisced about the past. Old Ichiraku even brought out his own collection of sake and then cooked a few dishes to join the group, which startled Little Ichiraku.

He had no idea that his old man was so capable.

The younger ones ate the smaller ones, and the older ones drank the larger ones; the shop was bustling with activity. Later on, even Hiruzen Sarutobi came over.

Ichiraku Ramen existed when Konoha was first founded, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Everyone in the shop, including Hiruzen Sarutobi, has been eating Ichiraku Ramen since they were young.

Tsukiki looked around and saw that everyone had a smile on their face, even the recently passed White Fang and the cold-blooded Orochimaru.

With a smile, Yue Shu took a sip of hot tea.

It was almost dusk outside, but the warmth inside the shop carried a fragrant aroma and a sense of joy.

"That's really good."

Yue Shu sighed.

Chapter 115: New Flames

"Alright, everyone's here now. Today is your first day on your journey to becoming a ninja."

"I want you to know that the fact that you are standing here means that you have the talent to become ninjas."

"Next, let's each introduce ourselves. Who wants to start?"

As always, the weather was fine and sunny, and Konoha was peaceful today, just like any other day.

Today's ninja academy is different; they have once again welcomed a new batch of sparks.

These are all excellent inheritors of the Will of Fire.

"Teacher, teacher, let me go first!"

The teacher on the podium had just finished speaking when a child in the audience raised his hand high.

All eyes turned to him, and the teacher gestured for him to begin his self-introduction.

He stood up abruptly, looking very cheerful. With thick eyebrows, a watermelon-shaped hairstyle, and a wide smile, his white teeth gleamed.

"My name is Might Guy, and my goal is to become an excellent ninja and a powerful person."

Matt Kai's voice was very confident, and there was always a light in his eyes.

"This guy, I remember his dad was about this age and was still a genin."

"I also remember that it was because I didn't have any talent in ninjutsu that I could only take the path of taijutsu."

"Hahaha, you might as well become a samurai. Why be a ninja? That's so lame."

As Matt Kai finished speaking, he was not met with applause, but rather with hushed jeers and mockery.

Matt Kai hadn't expected this either. His eyes flickered slightly, and he gripped his hand tightly, shouting once more:

"I will definitely become an excellent and powerful ninja!"

His gaze was very firm, even though those around him didn't believe him and continued to discuss it.

"idiot."

The white-haired boy sitting not far away glanced at it and said softly.

"Next is me, it's my turn!"

Kai wasn't the only one who liked to stand out; another black-haired boy also stepped forward.

He was wearing goggles, and like Matt Kay before him, he stood up and spoke confidently:

"My name is Uchiha Obito, and I'm going to become Hokage someday!"

"This is even more impressive," Obito said, and then everyone around him fell silent.

The white-haired boy sighed; he hadn't expected there to be so many problem children in this class.

Besides him, a short-haired girl also glanced at Obito unconsciously after hearing these words.

She was pretty and very cute, and although there were two oil marks on her face, they didn't detract from her appearance; instead, they made her look even more charming.

Immediately following was another round of laughter, for a simple reason: Obito Uchiha, like Might Guy before him, was a bottom-tier player in terms of strength.

The self-introductions continued, and apart from a bit of a commotion at the beginning, the subsequent self-introductions became much more normal.

"My name is Aburame—"

"My name is Yamanaka Inoichi."

"My name is Nara Shikaku."

"My name is Akimichi Choza."

"My name is Nohara Rin, and my dream is to become a powerful female ninja."

"Kakashi Hatake, that's all."

When it was Kakashi's turn to introduce himself, the crowd stirred again, because Kakashi's father was the famous White Fang of Konoha, a powerful ninja second only to the Hokage.

Kakashi himself had already made a name for himself as a genius at a young age, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a commotion.

As for Sarutobi Asuma, who came next, he was at least the Hokage's favorite son, but unfortunately he didn't have the same reputation as Kakashi, and the commotion he caused wasn't as great as Kakashi's.

After all the fuss, the painstaking self-introduction was finally over, and the teachers on the stage all breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that his class had quite a few children from powerful families; in other words, there were many outstanding students, perhaps more than any previous class.

A class only has a few dozen students, and many of them are children of powerful clans or whose parents are Jonin. Teachers face immense pressure when managing such classes.

In any case, the first day of classes at the Ninja Academy has come to an end.

The teacher breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order to dismiss the class. The children who had gathered there immediately let loose and became incredibly excited.

Of course, there were also many people who were different from ordinary people. Kakashi and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio simply packed up and left.

Everyone seemed excited, but Obito Uchiha and Might Guy were all alone, and no one wanted to approach them.

But Matt Kai was already used to it. He cheered himself up, encouraged himself, and went out to exercise with a spirited look on his face.

He had grown up training with his father since he was a child, and he had heard those words countless times before, so Might Guy wouldn't care too much.

However, compared to Guy, Obito wasn't as strong and became quite depressed.

However, there will always be someone who shines in their own way.

"Hey, Obito, that's a great dream of yours, Hokage! Good luck!"

The boy looked up and was met with the girl's cheerful smile.

This is the first time in a long time that someone has recognized his dream and cheered him on.

Obito was stunned.

"Lin, let's go."

"coming."

Rin responded and glanced at Obito again.

Goodbye, and good luck.

Rin laughed and ran off, while Obito stood there stunned. He couldn't help but smile and clench his fists.

The power surged forth all at once.

"Oh oh oh!"

The boy became excited.

Sometimes things happen so miraculously that a connection can just become entangled in a strange and wonderful way.

A new flame is burning brightly in Konoha Village.

At this very moment, the situation in the ninja world is not very good.

"How about it?"

"The situation is not good. Friction between the villages is escalating, and I'm afraid—"

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the current head of the Nara family, who is also Shikaku's father, are having a conversation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a drag of his cigarette and looked out the window.

The village outside remained prosperous and peaceful, more than ten years after the last war.

"Is it starting again?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was filled with sorrow.

Having experienced so many wars, he was very familiar with all of this.

Every village is now preparing, and these border skirmishes and probing are harbingers of war.
