Chapter 34 Classroom Fun
And so the class began.
The theoretical classes for freshmen are rather dry, especially for Naruto and Hashirama.
What is the definition of a ninja?
Does the term "ninja" even need a definition?
This is Hashirama's reaction when Iruka explained to everyone what ninjas were.
In Hashirama's eyes, anyone who has chakra and knows how to use it can already be considered a ninja.
Yes, that's fair and to the point.
What kind of ninja are you if you don't have chakra?
"This was summarized by the Second Hokage when he was the principal of the Ninja Academy, and he also consulted with the clan leaders of various clans, so it is a very comprehensive understanding."
"Our definition is the most comprehensive in the entire ninja world."
Iruka greatly admired his idol, the first principal of the Ninja Academy.
It could be said that without him, there would be no thriving Ninja Academy as it is today, and Iruka, a commoner, would never have been able to become a ninja.
This is a rare method for upward social mobility, provided you have talent or are hardworking enough.
"Huh?
Why didn't Tobirama ask me that back then?"
Hashirama wondered if he had forgotten a piece of his memory.
How could his beloved younger brother not ask his older brother about the definition of a ninja?
I am the hot mom of Hasirama, known as the God of Ninjas!
Tobirama: I spent so much time back then, even putting aside some ninjutsu research, to focus on planning for our future, while you were only thinking about your motor. I couldn't be bothered to ask you.
Well, around this time back then, Hashirama and Madara had some disagreements, so... those who know, know.
In fact, Iruka's level is quite good.
After all, he is the head of the teaching department this year.
How could he have gotten to this position if he didn't have some ability, coming from a commoner background?
"Hey, Choji, could I have some potato chips?"
Naruto's voice was very soft, but loud enough for Choji, who was secretly eating snacks behind him, to hear.
"The teacher is still here."
Choji was a little surprised by Naruto's request, but after all, these were his favorite potato chips, and it was understandable that Naruto wanted to eat them.
Yes, that's the mindset of a foodie, very easy to understand.
"It's okay, just pass it to me from under the table."
"Then be careful what you eat, don't get caught."
Choji handed the potato chips to Naruto from under the table.
"Thanks, I'll bring you some food tomorrow."
Naruto successfully obtained the potato chips, and he was very happy.
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Choji's fondness for Naruto instantly increased.
He'll bring me something delicious tomorrow, um, he doesn't seem like the fox spirit Ino described at all.
How bad can someone be who brings their own food?
That's really something.
Shikamaru, watching the two stealing, glanced at Iruka on the podium and sighed helplessly.
Teacher, you've really hit a wall with this class!
Then, he casually took a piece of candy from Choji's drawer, put it in his mouth, and stared blankly at the blackboard.
After all, I learned all these things from books a long time ago, so why not just relax and daydream? It's so comfortable.
Once Naruto got his hands on the potato chips, he began his own sneaky snacking spree.
Hmm, Iruka-sensei memorized it! Good chance!
Ahh, I swallowed a potato chip in one gulp, squeezed it with my tongue until it broke apart, releasing a rich aroma.
These are custom-made potato chips from the Akimichi family; you can't buy them anywhere else.
Sasuke, who was concentrating on the lesson, heard a faint clicking sound. He turned his head without making a sound and saw Naruto sneaking food.
Unbelievable! Eating in class!
I was very angry, but I still had to leave a good impression on the teacher, at least by behaving well and not embarrassing Nii-san.
Damn, it smells so good.
A faint fragrance drifted into Sasuke's nose through the air.
Hinata, who was sitting to Naruto's left, naturally smelled the fragrance as well.
However, unlike Sasuke who was slow to realize things, she knew Naruto's thoughts as soon as he made a move and witnessed the entire process.
As for why she knew the whole thing without turning around, it's related to her recent change in eye-rolling.
Even without activating her Byakugan, Hinata now has a 360° field of vision with no blind spots, and it can be turned off actively, although she cannot see through things yet.
After activating the Byakugan, one can exert a certain amount of pressure on the surroundings; this ability only appeared a month ago.
The Hyuga clan members were all intimidated by this oppressive aura, and Hinata started eating even more every day.
However, Hiashi seemed quite pleased with himself, since his daughter's abilities had improved and it wouldn't hurt for her to eat more, since she wouldn't gain weight anyway.
However, Hinata was also required not to use her aura indiscriminately, especially in the eyes of outsiders; even ordinary clan members were not allowed to do so.
Everyone rolls their eyes normally, so why is it that your eyes have an extra ability?
It's still bluish-white; who knows what those old fogies in the clan will think?
However, Hinata now has strength close to that of a genin.
I believe that when Hinata grows up, she might be able to get rid of all those old stubborn people and make them step down.
However, seeing Naruto devour a potato chip made Hinata feel a pang of hunger in her own stomach.
I want to eat it ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Naruto felt a gaze upon him, as if many people were watching him.
He turned around and saw Hinata sitting calmly in her seat, seemingly listening attentively to the lesson.
Well, it's almost lunchtime. Knowing Hinata's appetite, Naruto figured she'd probably be hungry by now.
He secretly tugged at Hinata's little hand and gave her half of the potato chips.
Hinata blushed slightly, then quickly finished the potato chips, leaving Shikamaru behind her looking on in shock.
No, so fast?
Choji remembered a recent rumor in the clan: a girl from the Hyuga clan was working at the Akimichi yakiniku restaurant and almost broke the Akimichi clan's record for the biggest eater.
However, she never saw that girl again after that, and the aunt in the clan and Hinata signed a confidentiality agreement.
Hiashi: It's a good thing that my precious daughter can eat, but it wouldn't be good if she were targeted by strange people.
This is a special criticism of a certain Yunren, a certain underground root, and a certain blond-haired guy (excluded).
Naruto wasn't surprised at all, since Hinata's appetite had been increasing year by year for the past two years, and her physical condition was also getting better and better.
Yes, but he's a little worse than Naruto.
(*^▽^*)
Sasuke: I really want to eat this! How can they eat in class and not even let me eat with them?! How dare they!
Could Iruka not notice the children's little tricks?
He felt that losing his temper on the first day was not a good idea, so he decided to make an example of them in a few days.
Also, it's getting close to lunchtime, and Iruka is a little hungry, so it's understandable.
But while I understand, I'll talk to their elders tonight and teach them a lesson tomorrow!
