Chapter 12: One Year and Genocide

But what Naruto didn't notice was when he turned around and focused his attention on Iruka and the other classmates again.

Menma in the back looked at his back with deep eyes.

Envy, jealousy or even a trace of resentment?

Maybe all of these.

But just like Naruto had a moment of intimacy with Ma.

Menma, who was 100% sure that the two were biological brothers, had an even more special sense of Naruto. All his sufferings had nothing to do with Naruto, and it was impossible for Naruto to be like him, as soon as he came into this world. Can have a strong sense of self.

Naruto was just a being who was half-deceived by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Menma was indeed jealous of Naruto's current living environment.

Even at certain moments I couldn't help but feel resentful.

Why are they treated so completely differently when they are both born to the same parents? But in the end, the emotion of blood being thicker than water still restrained Menma's negative emotions. He could hate everyone else, but only with Naruto, Menma couldn't do it!

This is his biological brother!

Even though he was born just a little bit later than himself, he was his elder brother and Naruto was his younger brother. This was something Menma could be sure of.

Another important reason is that Menma also had a younger brother in his previous life. He was also carefree and optimistic in personality, which seemed to have some overlap with Naruto.

It made Menma's feelings for Naruto even more special.

'Naruto, I hope your future will not be on the completely opposite path to mine. ’

After Menma took a deep look at Naruto's back, he thought silently in his heart.

"Very good, this way everyone has a preliminary understanding of each other. From the moment you step into the ninja school, you can already be regarded as a quasi-ninja. How high achievements do you want to achieve in the future? Talent is one thing, hard work is another. People with a lazy mentality will not say that they will become excellent ninjas in the future. Whether you can graduate or not is a question. I think all students do not want to see their peers graduate one after another. , and you will repeat the grade indefinitely, right? And this depends on your own efforts! If the foundation is not strong, the earth will shake. I hope you can keep this in mind!

Iruka looked at the dozens of little guys below with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

Go in if you don’t listen.

Can you fully understand it?

This is not very important at the moment, but the initial attitude needs to be shown!

As a class teacher.

Iruka doesn't want any students to fall behind too much in the next six years.

This is his duty as a teacher.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"

The children below at least showed that they were still very cooperative with their homeroom teacher, and they responded in unison at this moment.

"Well! Very good. Then, let's take the first lesson, what is a ninja, and what is the essence of a ninja..."

The first day of ninja school.

It's so peaceful and stable.

Although Menma's enrollment caused quite a stir in a certain area, it still caused too much commotion. In the Hidden Leaf Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen still has absolute prestige and power.

That is to say, as the elderly get older, they become more and more indecisive.

Otherwise, let alone other people, even Shimura Danzo, as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen does not allow it, it is impossible to cause any waves.

In the final analysis, Danzo can make so many monsters, half of it is Danzo's problem, and the remaining half is the result of Sarutobi Hiruzen's own connivance.

Therefore, only Sarutobi Hiruzen has a firmer attitude.

Menma's daily life and education won't be a big problem.

In fact.

On the first day after entering the ninja school, Menma encountered many strange looks from 'ordinary people', but no one stood up to question it because it was a 'Hokage order'!

They can discuss it privately.

When there are few people around, he looks at Menma with a hostile look.

But it must not be shown in public.

Of course, this has no real meaning.

But Menma is already satisfied, it's just some sight, and he can't let himself lose a piece of meat, so why bother! ?

The sun sets.

Dusk falls.

The first day of ninja school ended.

Menma was the last to leave the Ninja School and stood at the main entrance, looking at the teaching building wrapped in the afterglow.

Looking at the children leaving in other directions, facing the sunset.

Menma's expression was slightly cold, this was not where Menma belonged.

Rather, it was the cage that bound Menma.

One day, he will break this cage with his own hands and gain true freedom.

‘This is the real first step! No one can restrict my future! ! ’

After Menma took a deep breath, he turned around and walked along another path, gradually getting further and further away, and his figure gradually merged into the shadows.

The beginning of ninja school career.

in the coming days.

Menma's life was much more regular than it had been in the past five years or so. It could almost be said that the rhythm of life was three o'clock and one line.

Ninja school - home - jungle personal training ground.

While constantly strengthening your physical fitness.

He is also improving his control over chakra bit by bit.

And just a few months after entering school, Menma officially put chakra stable control on the agenda.

Climbing trees and treading water are the two most basic chakra controls.

They should also be added to his training plan.

In the absence of learning ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu.

These basic trainings are the focus of Menma's training in recent times.

When Menma devoted himself to it, time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than a year later.

It was June of the 55th year of Konoha.

On a certain morning.

Menma, as always, finished his morning exercise and stepped towards the ninja school.
