Kirito was done. Now, it was time for the students to introduce themselves.
However, the kids in the first row weren't sure how to introduce themselves properly.
It was understandable. This was Year 11 and Ninja School had barely been functioning for 6 years.
The self-introduction system wasn't as popular and widespread as it would be during Naruto's original timeline in Year 60 and later.
Kamishiro Kirito understood this and quickly said, "I see some of you are nervous."
"No worries."
"Just introduce yourself by mentioning your name, hobbies, likes, dislikes, and finally, your dreams."
"Since it's your first time, I will begin by introducing myself."
"I'm Kamishiro Kirito. My hobbies are drinking exquisite tea and listening to poetry. I like composing poetry. I dislike unnecessary disturbance and tardiness. And my dream is to become a Ninja just like Lord Hokage and safeguard the peaceful environment of Konoha."
"Now, it's your turn."
"Let's begin with the student sitting in the first row."
Many kids visibly relaxed. It was as if the clueless high school kids just found a foolproof template to write the long essays they dreaded the most.
And so, one kid finally got up and introduced himself.
"My name is Shimura Osamu. I don't have any particular hobbies. I like getting stronger. I hate being looked down upon. My dream is to become Hokage and spread the Will of Fire in every corner of the Fire Country."
'Heh! A kid from the Shimura clan. I just hope you are not as twisted as the inherently evil Danzo.'
Seimei cast an indifferent glance at the Shimura kid and smirked slightly while letting his thoughts wander.
Although Seimei reminded himself not to be prejudiced against Danzo, his memory from his previous life still made it difficult for him to see Shimura Danzo in good light.
Still, he wouldn't cause Danzo any trouble as long as he didn't turn dark in reality, too.
But that didn't stop him from dissing Danzo and his clan mentally.
After a while, it was his turn. So, Seimei simply stood up and said, "My name is Senju Seimei."
Actually, it's Otsutsuki Seimei. But never mind.
"My hobbies are training and grinding my skills to their peak."
I have a cheat. I need to be strong. So, why not? And yeah. My hobbies now include playing with my little cousin Tsunade too. But there's no need to say that here.
"I like eating delicious food."
And watching beautiful girls too. But please don't misunderstand. I'm not like Jiraiya, who peeked at bathing women under the guise of collecting materials for his book.
"There isn't anything particular that I dislike. At least, I can't think of anything now."
I dislike Shimura Danzo. Actually, scratch that. I dislike his whole clan. Hmm…am I being too biased? Maybe I am. But who cares?
If my memories aren't wrong, many Root members in the original Narutoverse belonged to the Shimura clan.
And we are not talking about the brainwashed Root Shinobi.
No.
The Root Shinobi from the Shimura clan didn't have to go through much torment and brainwashing.
They all followed Danzo's order willingly and committed countless atrocities, such as kidnapping children, murdering fellow Konoha Shinobi, human experiments, and many others.
Would they also resort to such heinous crimes in reality, too?
I don't know.
I hope he won't do anything outrageous like he did in the original Narutoverse.
Otherwise, I can only let you and your clan go extinct.
Anyway, the Shimura clan is not that big yet. It shouldn't have more than 200 Shinobi right now.
It was only during Sarutobi Hiruzen's rule in the original Narutoverse that the number of Shinobi in his clan exceeded the 1,000 mark.
Konoha has more than 200,000 Shinobi in this world. Losing 200 Shinobi from the Shimura clan won't cause even a little ripple.
Bastards! Once I sense anything fishy, I will personally send you all to the mouths of Chakra Beasts.
"My dream is to become a powerful Ninja and travel the world."
I also want to go to the Moon and liberate my Grandmother, Otsutsuki Kaguya. I also want to visit distant planets in this vast starry sky and witness new civilizations with my own eyes.
Seimei finished speaking (and lampooning inwardly) and sat down on his seat.
However, just as he sat in his seat, he felt a piercing gaze on his back. He suddenly felt an intense goosebump.
He wasted no time and quickly turned his head around.
He saw a girl sitting on another window seat in the fifth row staring at him intensely with a mixture of surprise, confusion, and…doubt.
She had raven-black hair, darker than night. Her beautiful face was as delicate as a doll, and she had fair, rosy skin—clearly, a sign of exceptional health.
She was staring at him intently with her crimson Two-tomoe Sharingan.
The girl clearly belonged to the Uchiha clan.
However, why was she also radiating immense vitality similar to the powerful Sage Body of my uncle, Hashirama?
Seimei activated his Tenseigan and it started glowing with an eerie yet mesmerizing blue hue.
And he was right. This girl must have the Sage Body. She was clearly Uchiha but her vitality and chakra reserves were greater than most adolescent Senju clan Shinobi.
Completely off the charts!
'If I'm not wrong, her total chakra reserves already crossed the 40,000 mark, nearly catching up to mine.'
'For god's sake, I'm the Otsutsuki with a cheat here.'
'Why are her base stats even more ridiculous?'
'Miss, are you also cheating?'
Seimei's thoughts keep wandering.
He and the Uchiha girl kept staring at each other. Two blood-red and two Ocean-blue eyes were practically having a staring contest at this point.
The girl suddenly smirked a little as if she found an interesting thing, which caused Seimei's forehead to break a cold sweat.
'But most importantly, what's with the intense gaze?'
'Did I offend you somehow?'
'Wait! Don't tell me that my cheap father caused trouble to this girl's relative.'
'After all, my father is notorious for causing trouble for the Uchiha during the Warring States Period.'
'Is this generational grudge?'
'This won't do!'
'I must promptly make amends and make her understand that the previous generation's grudges have nothing to do with us, the young generation of Konoha Shinobi.'
'Yes. She is still young. I'm an adult here. I can definitely coax her.'
'Let's spread harmony, peace, and the Will of Fire.'
Seimei finished his thoughts, gave her an innocent smile, and then quickly turned his head away from her.
Soon, it was this girl's turn to introduce herself.
She stood up and spoke with a faint smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Uchiha Reina. My hobbies include training and playing new and interesting games. I like getting stronger and dislike stagnation. My dream is to become the most powerful Kunoichi."
Seimei didn't know why but when he heard the phrase "playing new and interesting games", a slight chill suddenly ran down his spine.
