"Hello, students. My name is Umino Iruka, and I will be your homeroom teacher from now on."
As the class bell rang, a young man wearing a green vest entered the classroom. He introduced himself to Izayoi and the others at the podium, then smiled and said, "Before we begin, let's introduce ourselves. We'll start with the first row on the left."
"My name is..."
"Hello everyone, my name is Yamanaka Ino. Please take care of me in the future."
"My name is Aburame Shino."
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"The name's Uzumaki Naruto! Remember it, because I'm going to be the Hokage!"
"..."
Each person's introduction reflected their unique personality.
The most noticeable among them was Uzumaki Naruto, who was still disliked by Umino Iruka at this point.
Since they had just met, his bold self-introduction didn't provoke any ridicule from the class.
When it was Hinata's turn, she spoke softly and stammered, "M-my name is Hyuga Hinata. P-please take care of me."
Her shy demeanor stood in stark contrast to the lively and cheerful Yamanaka Ino.
Fortunately, this wasn't an ordinary world. Otherwise, such a shy young lady from a prestigious family might easily have been isolated or bullied.
"Hello everyone, my name is Izayoi."
Izayoi stood up and introduced himself in a very ordinary manner.
However, his adorable face, similar to Uchiha Sasuke's, attracted the attention of many girls.
Although he already knew that girls in this world matured early, feeling their intense gazes still made Izayoi inwardly click his tongue in surprise.
Children here started living independently at the age of three, understood love and romance by five or six, were sent to the battlefield before turning twelve during wartime, and became saviors by sixteen or seventeen... This world was truly absurd.
Because of this, the title of "genius" held significant weight in the Hokage world.
After the self-introductions ended, it quickly moved on to a familiar routine for Izayoi.
Handing out textbooks!
However, when he received the books, Izayoi couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
Japanese and Mathematics—that was normal.
But Biology, Medicine, and Chemistry? What were these? Izayoi suddenly understood why children in this world grasped love and romance so early. It seemed this precociousness was quite common.
In addition to these textbooks, Umino Iruka also handed out a scroll to each student.
The scroll contained the method for extracting Chakra.
"Chakra is a special energy formed by combining physical energy and mental energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells in the human body, blended in a specific ratio. It is also the key to becoming a ninja," Umino Iruka explained.
"The entrance exam is designed to screen students whose mental and physical energy meet the standards and have a high probability of becoming ninjas."
"Both knowledge and physical training can enhance these two types of energy. So, for those of you who haven't developed Chakra yet, you must study hard. Otherwise, by the end of the observation period, you will still be asked to leave."
Hearing this, some students from ordinary families who hadn't yet developed Chakra immediately looked nervous.
For a long time after this, they would likely be the model students that Umino Iruka favored.
Izayoi didn't bother to remind them that they were overthinking it.
Although the school did not explicitly divide students into advanced and remedial classes, those who were placed in Class 1 of the first year, aside from the children of ninja clans, were all of exceptional aptitude.
At a glance, Izayoi noticed that every classmate had at least a white-level talent, and many even possessed green-level Chuunin Aptitude. This meant that even if they didn't pass the graduation exam, they would still have the strength of a Genin in the future.
Those with green-level talents, as long as they didn't meet an untimely end, would undoubtedly become Chuunin in the future.
As for the children of ninja clans like Yamanaka Ino, each of them had Jonin Aptitude (blue).
However, it was Haruno Sakura's ninja aptitude that caught Izayoi's attention.
Her ninja aptitude was only at the green level, equivalent to Chuunin Aptitude.
Yet, her talent in Chakra Control had reached the purple level of a Kekkei Genkai.
With such an advanced talent in Chakra Control, her future achievements would only reach the level of a Chuunin.
It was similar to how Hinata, the Byakugan Princess, had a red-level talent, but her aptitude was only at the Jonin level.
Without defying fate, Sakura's limit would be Chuunin.
But if she succeeded in defying fate, she could become one of the new generation's Three Legendary Sannin.
After distributing textbooks and scrolls, Umino Iruka didn't give Izayoi and the others any time to relax and immediately began the lesson.
The morning was dedicated to academic classes, while the afternoon was for physical education.
During physical education, aside from physical training, students were also given stones to practice their throwing techniques.
Techniques like the Three Body Technique, Body Flicker Technique, and Invisibility Technique, as well as tools like kunai and shuriken, were naturally not taught.
Even Taijutsu duels weren't part of the curriculum.
Clearly, the first semester of the first year was focused on building a solid foundation, improving knowledge and physical fitness.
Izayoi initially participated, but upon realizing that there would be no Taijutsu duels at this stage, he stopped sending his real self to the ninja school.
Having inherited the Otsutsuki Bloodline at the age of three, Izayoi's current Chakra reserves were astonishing. Not only did he surpass Uzumaki Naruto, who couldn't yet extract Chakra, but he also outclassed Kakashi Hatake, who could perform the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in class at the age of five or six in the original story.
His Shadow Clones, whether in terms of duration or durability, far exceeded those of Uchiha Itachi.
With his Shadow Clone attending school in his place, Izayoi's real body used the Transformation Technique to take on the appearance of a young boy and headed to a deserted training field in the wilderness to practice ninja techniques.
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
On the open ground, Izayoi went through the motions of forming hand seals, compressing the wind converted from Chakra into his palm, creating a vortex, and then releasing it as a violent gale that kicked up a cloud of dust.
Yes, he was just going through the motions of forming hand seals.
Because Izayoi didn't need hand seals to perform the technique.
To be precise, aside from auxiliary ninja techniques like the Three Body Technique and Shadow Clone Technique, Izayoi could perform all Five Elements Release Techniques without forming hand seals.
Without a doubt, there were differences even among red-level talents.
And the red-level talent of the Otsutsuki Bloodline was a higher existence than the Sage Body, Sage Eye, and even the Byakugan Princess.
Not only was his Chakra astonishing, but his talent in ninja techniques was also incredibly exaggerated, much like the members of the Otsutsuki Clan before Indra invented hand seals. He could perform Five Elements Release Techniques without the need for hand seals.
Even Senju Hashirama had to clap his hands together and call out his techniques, but Izayoi didn't need to.
This wasn't just an incredibly powerful talent for Ninja Techniques—it was also a trump card.
When enemies thought Izayoi was forming hand seals, he would suddenly unleash a Ninja Technique, catching them completely off guard.
