After a series of "Ahs," Naruto finally fell from the air.
Considering the resilience of a Naruto at his age… well, he had no resilience. So, Mirai caught him very gently. After all, you can't just let your "little brother" fall and get half-crippled.
"Tha… " Naruto's face was a bit pale. He instinctively wanted to thank her for this kind of rescue.
But…
He saw his red-haired sister give him a sweet smile and unceremoniously interrupt him. "You're welcome. But this sparring match has just begun."
At this moment, even if Naruto's brain wasn't very sharp, he still instinctively sensed a certain danger.
"Sti… "
"Want to continue? Good!"
Naruto felt that once was enough of that weightless experience. But Mirai wasn't done throwing him yet. And in this situation, of course, she was in charge, and he was at her disposal.
So… Naruto-kun's experience today was enough to compose a heart-wrenching ballad.
Now, he could continue to "Ah." Because he was flying again. Then… it was an endless cycle of throwing, catching, and throwing!
To throw her "little brother" higher, she used Lightning Release taijutsu. Otherwise, with just her physical strength, a girl like Mirai couldn't throw someone almost her own weight into the air.
She really went all out. That's what a real sister does.
In this world, there were at most carriages as a form of transportation. But Naruto had experienced the feeling of airsickness. He was truly the first person in the ninja world to do so.
After throwing him more than ten times, Mirai was finally satisfied. She stopped. Naruto was finally saved… or was he?
"The First Children's Team Round Robin Tournament, Round One Winner: Uzumaki Mirai. Please continue…"
"Uzumaki Naruto vs. Haku."
Haori announced this earth-shattering event for Naruto in a monotone voice, without any emotional ups and downs… He hadn't recovered yet. Did the sparring have to continue?
This showed who was the worst of the bunch. To deepen Naruto's impression and make him learn his basics properly, Haori felt that it was necessary for him to be bullied a bit. After all, he was a boy with a thick head.
And the so-called round robin tournament was completely Naruto-kun's single-person round robin. It was his personal journey of being beaten up. The three teammates had to beat him up one by one before it was complete.
To spar with everyone, Naruto had to learn to control his chakra first.
"I… I…" Haori's words made Naruto a bit unsure of how to react. He was in a state where he wanted to vomit but couldn't. So, he instinctively wanted to refuse the match.
He realized that his actions could be perfectly classified as self-destruction.
"Are you scared?"
But Haori's provocation made Naruto unable to react. He fell for it without hesitation… Crushing Naruto's intelligence was simply too easy.
"No, I'm not. Bring it on!"
But… after saying that, Naruto said to Haku with a bit less confidence, "This Haku… sister, please go easy on me."
Haku was stunned for a moment, then smiled. Yeah, this sister smiled even more beautifully… You couldn't blame Naruto for self-destructing. No one had ever told him that Haku was a boy.
In terms of basic chakra transformation, because of Ice Release, Haku could naturally control Water Release and Wind Release. He didn't know Lightning Release taijutsu, but as long as he had chakra, he could use taijutsu.
So, Naruto flew again…
As a male, being mistaken for a girl all the time could make Haku a bit annoyed. But more importantly, he understood Haori's intention. It was just for them to bully the child… Fine, let's do it.
Then, Kimimaro next. Well, he just learned from the previous two…
As of today, Naruto's fear of heights had been completely overcome. From now on, even if he were to fall three thousand feet, he would be calm as a lake!
Seriously!
But at the same time, his name for Mirai had automatically been upgraded to "Big Sister." After all, she had started it all. These three words perfectly summed up his life's hardship. What a painful realization.
Even more tragically, she's your sister, isn't she?
Naruto finally went back to practice standing on the water obediently… after finally throwing up.
In short, Naruto's conclusion about life at this time was: Listen to Mirai, don't let her get hurt, grow up quickly, and then you can challenge her.
......
Growing up quickly was impossible, but a milestone event soon arrived.
After spring arrived, the new batch of ninja school finally opened, and the four children were packed off to school by Haori.
This had already been decided.
As for entering ninja school, you could call it elementary school enrollment, or junior high school enrollment, or even high school education. Now that the war was over, ninja school had resumed, or rather, adjusted its rhythm. The previous three-year accelerated classes were gone. Now, it was adjusted to six years of compulsory full-day education for elementary, middle, and high school.
Haori had already explained the matter of enrollment to the children. Mirai found the school interesting because it was new.
And because he would be going to school with people his own age, Naruto was also looking forward to it.
As for Haku and Kimimaro, they completely obeyed Haori's arrangements. After all, they were his nanny, bodyguard, and teammate. Although they were three years older, they still had to go with Mirai.
On the day of enrollment, because there were so many people, Haori's group was very eye-catching… Look at the White Fang. Even going to school was so grand. In terms of hair color, they had red, white, yellow, and black. They were very complete.
This enrollment was a relatively simple type. There were no complicated ceremonies. The Third Hokage, surprisingly, didn't even appear… At this time, the Third Hokage, who valued the training of his juniors the most, couldn't really spare time for this.
After sending the few of them into the classroom, Haori should have left.
On the surface, he did leave. But in reality, he didn't… He finally understood a certain feeling. In short, he would first take a look around the school and see what was going on.
Mirai and the others were in a class of thirty students. The main teacher of this class was a chūnin.
Haori didn't know who this person was. But after the other party explained the meaning of ninja school, the upcoming educational arrangements, and some materials that seemed like propaganda and brainwashing, as usual, the class began with self-introductions.
But Haori could tell that this teacher truly believed in what he was saying. So, his words had a bit of influence… if these little brats could understand.
In this class, there were Uchiha children, such as Sasuke Uchiha, who had learned the art of disguise at a young age.
There were also Hyuga clan children, such as Hinata Hyuga, whom Haori had coincidentally saved.
And there were other familiar ninja clan children, like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio: the fat one, the pineapple-head, and the little girl.
"Next." The chūnin teacher called out again after a child named Ryūketsu finished his self-introduction.
It was Mirai's turn. Because of her red hair, she was very eye-catching.
Everyone's gaze almost moved forward with her. When Mirai walked to the front, she said, "I'm generally…"
As soon as she spoke, she realized something. So, she stopped halfway through and changed her introduction to a very concise one:
"My name is Uzumaki Mirai. That's all."
"Done?"
The chūnin teacher, whose name was Iruka Umino, was a bit confused. He really wanted to announce that this child was the great Fourth Hokage's orphan. But that wasn't appropriate for a teacher.
Creating such a clear distinction in a classroom was not a correct educational approach. But Mirai's introduction was just that one sentence. It was too monotonous.
"Done." Mirai nodded, then walked off the stage. She didn't make any further additions.
In short, she had already memorized the people who were talking about her hair. In the next six years, she could completely find opportunities to beat them up. Then… beat them up again.
No one in this class knew that this was the beginning of the prelude to a certain Second Hokage's iron-fisted rule.
As for Haori? Well, he was worried and confused. He had momentarily forgotten that Mirai could sense whether he had left or not.
