A new day began, and Yagyu set foot on the road to the academy.
As he walked, he summoned the virtual panel that only he could see.
"After entering Level 3, increasing proficiency has become harder and harder. If this continues, the training effects in the future will be almost nonexistent."
Yagyu frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the last display box: "Experience Points. What exactly is this? What is it used for, and how can I obtain it?"
However, no one was there to answer him. Yagyu could only suppress his grumpy morning temper, arrive at the Ninja Academy, and walk into the classroom of Year 1 Class 1.
Inside the classroom, many students had already arrived.
Those who knew each other gathered together to chat, while those who didn't were secretly sizing up their surrounding classmates. The boys' gazes lingered on the cute girls, while the girls were observing if there were any good-looking boys. Upon finding a boy who met their aesthetic standards, they would glance over from time to time. If their gazes accidentally met, they would immediately look away in alarm.
Do not doubt that such a scene occurs in a first-grade classroom where the average age is 5 or 6.
People in this world matured very early because the average lifespan of humans in this world was short.
It was a bit better now, but during the Warring States Period, the average lifespan of ninjas and citizens was only around thirty years.
Even in the current era of peace, the average lifespan hadn't increased by much. Talented children had to carry out missions as 'Genin' at the age of twelve. Geniuses like Kakashi even became Jonin, protecting the country, at the age of 12.
The extremely low average lifespan led to them understanding love early and taking action to pursue the beauty in their hearts.
Yagyu was a cute child. Although he still had baby fat on his face, the outlines of his future handsomeness could be seen.
As long as he didn't overeat during his growth period, there was no worry about him growing up ugly.
So when Yagyu walked into the classroom, the eyes of many girls lit up.
Feeling several fervent gazes, Yagyu smiled slightly at them.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose in sending him to the Ninja Academy was for him to get along well with his classmates and accept the cultivation of the Will of Fire.
Yagyu, who needed the safe haven of Sarutobi Hiruzen during his growth period, although he didn't like playing with these little kids, still had to put on an appearance of being easy to get along with.
After all, if he put on an unapproachable demeanor, it would easily cause trouble for Sarutobi Hiruzen, leading to vigilance and concerns about whether it was worth increasing efforts to cultivate him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had lost his edge as the "Professor of Shinobi," was an indecisive and very suspicious fellow.
Therefore, Yagyu prepared to use these tools to properly hone his acting skills over the next six years.
Thinking of Lord Aizen from the Bleach world, who attracted countless fans and acted as an Oscar-winning actor for hundreds of years, Yagyu's mood instantly improved.
"So cute, he's my type."
"A warm guy type. Should I pursue him?"
"Such a handsome boy, I wonder how his talent is?"
"..."
Seeing Yagyu greet them with a smile, those girls felt butterflies in their stomachs and exclaimed inwardly.
Girls who knew each other even whispered in discussion.
Yagyu was accustomed to this precociousness.
As a veteran Otaku, Yagyu had the patience to master a foreign language just to enjoy untranslated works, showing how much he loved the 2D world.
Naruto was a high-popularity manga with a worldview that was simple and easy to understand. The whole story was about the internal strife of the Otsutsuki family involving a few villages with wars of no more than a hundred thousand people. Konoha was the absolute protagonist within it, and Yagyu had long thoroughly analyzed it.
Precisely because he had analyzed it thoroughly, Yagyu couldn't immerse himself so quickly, subconsciously viewing problems from the omniscient perspective of a player and reader.
Thinking that he could watch the scenery outside, Yagyu chose a seat by the window and quietly waited for the other students and the teacher to arrive.
Twenty minutes later, the classroom was almost full.
Uchiha Itachi had also arrived; his seat was in the exact center of the third row.
A few students ran in hurriedly from outside the moment the class bell rang.
About five minutes later, the homeroom teacher responsible for Year 1 Class 1 also walked into the classroom.
After introducing himself, the homeroom teacher's name was Nakamura Mamoru, a Chunin in his twenties.
After the homeroom teacher's introduction, it was the students' turn.
Watching the boring self-introductions proceed, Yagyu suddenly felt a gaze locking onto him from top to bottom.
He had felt this sensation many times over the past few months.
From initially being unable to detect it, he gradually came to sense it.
Yagyu knew this gaze was a jutsu, the Telescope Technique used by Sarutobi Hiruzen to observe the village and aid in helmet research.
Clearly, he was using this ninjutsu to observe Yagyu.
Thinking of this, Yagyu immediately perked up.
Before long, it was Yagyu's turn.
"My name is Yagyu. For now, I don't have anything I like or dislike, and I don't have a dream for the time being. Nice to meet everyone."
Yagyu's self-introduction was quite unique, fully displaying the appearance of a child who had lost seven years of his life.
But the sincerity on his face, along with his looks symbolizing justice, did not arouse anger in his peers for being perfunctory. Instead, they all felt goodwill towards him, thinking he was a guy worth getting along with.
Unlike Uchiha Itachi, whose precociousness beyond his years and calm eyes were irritating.
