"Oh? Ninja training camp?"
For the Ninja School exam, although Sandai took the time to use the Telescope Technique to observe it, he hadn't examined it closely. Naturally, he wasn't aware of the conversation between Yuhi Mako and Jingyi.
The next day.
He saw the letter Yuhi Mako had submitted. It was filled with detailed reports. It described the subtle mastery of the Three-Body Technique among Jingyi's class and even recorded the conversation between him and Jingyi in great detail.
Sarutobi Hiruzen read it carefully.
After reading it for a long time, he took out his smoking pipe, lit it, and started puffing thoughtfully.
Ninja School training!
Elite Jōnin were usually busy, but compared to the importance of nurturing so many outstanding students, taking one month to guide them was nothing. Sparing time to teach during the last month before graduation was completely acceptable.
If implemented properly, the benefits would definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
But
He hadn't expected this.
"Sir, you called for me?"
"Lu Jiu, today I was taught a lesson by my juniors. Look at this..."
Sandai smiled, picking up the letter and handing it over.
The person who entered was Nara Shikahisa.
Since the Second Ninja World War, Shikahisa had gradually become an important advisor to the Third Hokage, often discussing critical matters with him. This time was no exception.
Lu Jiu took the letter and began reading it carefully.
At first, he didn't pay much attention.
But
As he continued reading Yuhi Mako's report, his expression gradually turned serious.
Such a well-mastered Three-Body Technique!
Perhaps the Sanshinjutsu wasn't as flashy as other ninjutsu, but on the battlefield, it enabled teamwork and survival truly the foundation every genin must master.
Jingyi had been teaching for just a month, yet his students had achieved remarkable solidity in their basics!
The results were outstanding.
Moreover, from their skilled use of the Three-Body Technique, one could easily infer their excellent chakra control. Overall, the quality of Jingyi's students was several times higher than that of previous years.
After graduation, these students would quickly adapt to missions and integrate into teams smoothly.
Achieving such results in only one month
Of course this should be implemented!
Furthermore.
Jingyi didn't just teach techniques he established a cycle where the stronger students helped pull up the weaker ones, something he termed "advanced leads the backward."
Such educational methods were rare and precious.
Everything Jingyi proposed could be adopted and expanded across the Ninja School system.
Thinking of this, Shikahisa took a deep breath and said, "Jingyi is truly a genius. It would be a waste to let him remain just an ordinary Jōnin."
"Indeed. I've already decided to have him lead a team," Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
Normally, a young ninja like Jingyi wouldn't immediately be given a team to lead, but with such talent in teaching, it would be a waste to limit him.
Lu Jiu nodded, flipping the paper back and forth, and then said decisively: "Lord Hokage, the Ninja School training camp must be implemented. However, I suggest we gather several Jōnin and have Jingyi personally explain his methods to them."
"Oh? Why?"
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow, surprised by the suggestion.
After all, the written report was already detailed why bother with a face-to-face explanation?
"Lord Hokage, although he's outlined the core ideas here, Jingyi may have even more insights to offer if he explains them directly," Lu Jiu reasoned. to
The Third Hokage remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Good point. Let's gather a few team-leading Jōnin to discuss this thoroughly."
"Yes, sir!"
…
"Strange… I've taught the Three-Body Technique so well, why hasn't the system given me a reward?"
Returning home that evening, Jingyi was confused.
Normally, he should've received a reward by now.
Wasn't the class already over?
He puzzled over it.
There should've been a reward by this afternoon.
Yet there was nothing.
It was baffling.
The next day, Jingyi finally understood why an Anbu ninja delivered a message summoning him to a special Jōnin-level meeting on "Ninja School Training" and "Educational Reform."
No wonder!
Because the matter wasn't finished yet.
Since it was being expanded further and involved high-level discussions, the system still considered the "class" ongoing.
Good things take time!
And the longer the class, the greater the reward.
Moreover, this time his audience wasn't kids or newly graduated genin it was elite Jōnin and even the Third Hokage himself. The quality of the "students" was outstanding!
Jingyi immediately made his way to the Hokage Building.
In the temporary conference room, when Jingyi entered, he saw several familiar faces.
Nara Shikahisa, Yamanaka Kaiichi, Aburame Shibi, and others.
Most noticeable among them was Namikaze Minato, with his bright blond hair.
"I greet you, seniors!"
Jingyi bowed politely.
Although he was technically on the same rank as them (all Jōnin), they had far more experience and higher standing.
He was, after all, only 15 years old.
Despite that, the meeting wouldn't begin until Jingyi arrived.
Nara Shikahisa gestured for him to take a seat.
Jingyi sat down.
"Jingyi Jōnin is here. Let's begin. You all know why we're gathered today," Nara Shikahisa said, glancing around.
Yuhi Mako's report had already been circulated beforehand, and everyone had read it carefully.
"The idea of a Ninja School training camp is excellent. Even if we can't reach Jingyi's level of results every time, having Jōnin lead the final month of training will greatly reduce the time needed for post-graduation field adaptation," Yamanaka Kaiichi voiced his support.
The Yamanaka and Nara clans often aligned their decisions, and since Shikahisa supported it, Kaiichi did as well.
Aburame Shibi considered carefully and asked, "Based on Jingyi's concept, are we planning to expand the teaching of D-rank ninjutsu during the training camp?"
"Yes," Jingyi nodded. "The scope will depend on the students' progress. D-rank ninjutsu will serve as motivation. Besides that, basic taijutsu, shurikenjutsu, basic genjutsu skills, and elementary medical knowledge should also be included."
Jingyi explained calmly.
His idea was to let the stronger students drive the weaker ones forward.
Naturally, it placed high demands on the teaching Jōnin, especially when dealing with clan prodigies. They had to show exceptional strength to earn respect and leadership.
Moreover, the ultimate goal was clear:
To prepare the students as much as possible to survive the harsh realities of the battlefield.
Everyone present was an elite ninja they understood instantly.
After hearing this, Nara Shikahisa nodded and glanced around.
"I support the training camp."
Namikaze Minato also stood up and smiled warmly at Jingyi.
"Then... I agree as well."
Nara Shikahisa raised his hand.
Soon, all the assembled Jōnin raised their hands in approval.
The proposal passed unanimously.
