Happy birthday, Mitsuki-kun~"
"Happy birthday, Mitsuki!"
Mitsuki's birthday was finally spent at Nohara's house, and Rin's request for training together was rejected by both Mitsuki and Mrs. Nohara.
After enjoying dinner at the Nohara family, Mitsuki returned home with two gifts.
Ever since being killed by Uchiha Yan's reverse door opening, Mitsuki felt as if he had lived too comfortably in this world.
He had never left Konoha Village since he was reincarnated, so he didn't know what the living conditions of people in other countries and other ninja villages were like.
But judging from the background of the plot in Mitsuki's memory, at least the civilians in each small country are living a precarious life.
Even if it is to maintain the current peaceful life, Mitsuki has reasons to become stronger.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Mitsuki opened the gifts from Mrs. Nohara and Rin. Mrs. Nohara's gift was a ninja vest, and Rin's was a ninja tool bag. Both were very practical gifts, and were also the most popular gift-giving styles in the ninja world.
Thinking of this, Mitsuki walked to Kento's room and took out the birthday gift box he found when he was sorting out his belongings.
"Thank you for the gift, I received it."
Mitsuki whispered, untied the ribbon, opened the box, and took out the precious Short Sword prepared by Uchiha En and Shimizu Kento.
Mitsuki plans to name this Short Sword "Mist Cutting". He hopes that in the future, he can personally use this sword to cut off the spine of Mist Shinobi, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
...
Konoha 39th year
This year Shimizu Mitsuki is 6 years old, and today is the first day of the Konoha Shinobi School. In the past year, Shimizu Mitsuki has not squeezed his body into training crazily because of Kento's death.
As a time traveler with memories of his previous life, and especially an aspiring young man from the 21st century with information explosion, he naturally knows how to train himself scientifically.
At least he couldn't drag his five-year-old body around Konoha every day for exercise.
Even if Mitsuki could bear it, Rin couldn't.
That's right, after Rin learned that Mitsuki had learned Chakra refining techniques early on, she seemed to feel that she had been too lazy, so she begged Mitsuki to let her join the training plan.
Even in order to prevent the cute Rin-chan from becoming a muscular loli, Mitsuki cannot set the training intensity too high.
"Mitsuki Mitsuki, great, we are in the same class."
Rin clenched her fists in front of her chest and said with a bright smile.
"Yes, it's Class 1."
Mitsuki casually responded to Rin and looked around.
There are quite a few familiar faces, Kakashi, they look very similar, the one with black curly hair should be Kurenai, and the one next to her is Asuma?
No way, Yuhi Kurenai is only so young and you, Asuma, already have evil intentions.
"Mitsuki, what are you looking at?"
Rin noticed that Mitsuki stopped looking around and kept looking straight ahead. When she followed Mitsuki's line of sight, her smile froze a little.
"Sorry sorry, I was just thinking about something."
Mitsuki came back to his senses, immediately put his hands together, and tried to comfort Rin.
"But then again, there are so many people here. I would have thought that because of the war, many villagers wouldn't want their children to become ninjas."
Mitsuki was still too young and made a common sense mistake. You know, in the ninja world, ninja is a major formal profession that has replaced samurai.
Although the risk is high, the reward for the mission is not low. Even a Genin can easily support the expenses of an ordinary family with the mission reward.
Besides, who doesn't want to gain power in troubled times? In addition, the Third Hokage has been promoting the battlefield feats of various civilian ninjas, which makes the residents of Konoha willing to send their children to ninja schools.
Hearing Mitsuki's questioning voice nearby, Rin responded.
"Oh, is that so? But when I told my mom that I wanted to go to the Ninja School, she agreed easily."
"Well, it seems that I took it for granted. Anyway, go find your seat in class first."
"Hey, but don't worry about it, Mitsuki. After all, it's hard to guess what adults are thinking."
Rin is always so considerate.
...
The other side
A teenager wearing goggles is helping an old lady who is carrying a large backpack and walking unsteadily.
"Thank you, Obito, but it will probably take a long time to find the place I want to go. Is that really okay?"
"It's okay, grandma, it must be very inconvenient for you to be alone."
Yes, this enthusiastic villager is Uchiha Obito. Today is his school enrollment day, but I don't know if he forgot or he felt that helping the old lady was more important.
Anyway, he was going to be late.
...
Back to Ninja School
Mitsuki and Rin have already found their seats. Since they registered together for admission, their seats are naturally next to each other.
"I didn't expect that we were in the same class. Mitsuki, Rin, have you seen that idiot Obito?"
Kakashi asked after coming over to say hello.
Before the Jōnin School, Mitsuki, Rin, and Kakashi Obito became friends because of some things.
"Obito hasn't come yet? Class is about to start. If he doesn't come, he'll be late. He'll probably leave a bad impression on the teacher on the first day of school." Rin said worriedly.
Mitsuki on the side pretended to look around, but in fact he was secretly scanning the entire Konoha.
He actually found it. That's what it is.
"Kakashi, don't worry, Obito is probably helping an old lady ask for directions or catching cats and dogs. Be prepared that he might be a day late." Mitsuki said to Kakashi after narrowing his field of vision.
"Isn't this the worst possible scenario, Mitsuki," Rin spat.
"Forget it, I'll go find the teacher to get Obito's admission notice later." Kakashi said with a sigh.
"Ding~" the bell rang
Mitsuki and the other two returned to their seats and sat down. A middle-aged ninja wearing a ninja vest walked in from outside the classroom door.
"Hello, my name is Morino Nobita, and I will be your homeroom teacher from now on. My teaching style is very strict, so be mentally prepared." Morino Nobita finished his opening remarks with a stern face.
"Mitsuki, Nobita-sensei seems to be a very strict teacher. Obito will be in trouble." Rin whispered to Mitsuki.
"It's okay. It was Kakashi who explained for Obito. Even the strictest teacher will relent when he sees that it was Kakashi who begged for mercy."
Mitsuki was not worried at all. After all, Kakashi's reputation as a genius had spread before he even entered school, not to mention that Kakashi's father was Hatake Sakumo.
The saying "Like father, like son" is very popular even in the ninja world.
"Then the first one from the left is you. Please start by introducing yourself." Nobita Morino said, pointing at the pineapple-haired boy on the left.
"That's really troublesome. So what should I say, teacher?" The pineapple-headed boy didn't seem to be very good at introducing himself.
"Just tell me your name, what you like, what you hate, and what your dream is." Morino Nobita had expected this and without thinking, he threw out a universal self-introduction template.
"Excuse me, my name is Nara Lu Ren, I like lying at home and hate troublesome things. My dream is to marry a wife who is neither pretty nor ugly and spend the rest of my life with her." Nara Lu Ren sat down after introducing herself.
"Very good, very energetic, let's move on to the next one." Morino Nobita didn't care about Nara Lu Ren's perfunctory response. After all, his purpose was just to let the students in the class have a preliminary impression of each other.
"My name is Mitarashi Anko. I like dango and hate food without sugar. My dream is to become a ninja like Master Tsunade."
"My name is Sarutobi Asuma..."
