“Oh? Academy training camps?”

  During the academy exams, the Third Hokage had briefly used his Telescope Jutsu to observe but hadn’t paid close attention. He was unaware of the versatioween Yuhi Shinku and Kyoichi.

  The day, he received a detailed report from Shinku. The letter was filled with examples of Kyoichi’s exceptional teag methods, particurly his students’ mastery of the Three Basic Teiques. It also included a meticulous reting of their discussion.

  The Third Hokage read the report carefully.

  After finishing, he pulled out his smoking pipe and lit it, deep in thought.

  Academy training camps.

  Elite Jōnin were often busy, but pared to the bes of nurturing so many taleudents, sparing a month to teach wasn’t much of a sacrifice. If implemehe advantages would far outweigh any drawbacks.

  However...

  He hadn’t anticipated such a proposal.

  “Lord Hokage, you summoned me?”

  “Ah, Shikaku, e in. It seems I’ve learned something from my juniors today. Take a look at this.”

  The Third Hokage hahe letter to Nara Shikaku, who had ehe room.

  Sihe Sed Shinobi World War, Shikaku had been serving as the Hokage’s advisor. The Third often sulted him on important matters, and this was no exception.

  Shikaku took the letter and began to read.

  At first, he wasn’t particurly ied.

  But as he delved into Shinku’s detailed at, his expression grew increasingly serious.

  Mastery of the Three Basic Teiques.

  While the Three Basic Teiques weren’t fshy or powerful, they were essential for teamwork and survival otlefield. They were the foundation every Genin o master.

  Under Kyoichi’s instru, his students’ proficy was unparalleled.

  The results were astounding.

  Not only that—

  From this single observation, one could ihe students’ overall skill levels. Their precise execution of the Three Basic Teiques suggested excellent chakra trol, meaning that Kyoichi’s students were far better prepared than those from previous years.

  Graduating students like these would adapt quickly to missions and ie seamlessly into ninja squads.

  And this transformation had occurred in just one month.

  The potential of implementing such a program across the academy was undeniable.

  What’s more, Kyoichi’s methods didn’t just rely on his teag ability. He had created a self-sustaining system, where advaudents inspired and guided others—a cept he called “the advanced leading the less advanced.”

  This was an exceptionally rare teag talent.

  Shikaku took a deep breath and said, “Kyoichi is a rare genius. It’s a waste to have him just serve as a Jōnin.”

  “I’ve already assigned him a team,” the Third Hokage replied with a nod.

  Ordinarily, someone as young as Kyoichi wouldn’t be chosen to lead a team. But his exceptional teag ability made it clear that it would be a waste not to give him this role.

  Shikaku agreed. He read the letter several more times before speaking decisively.

  “Lord Hokage, the academy training camps would have sting bes. This program should absolutely be implemented. However, I suggest having a few Jōni with Kyoichi to hear his insights firsthand.”

  “Oh? Why is that necessary?” The Third Hokage was intrigued.

  The proposal was already clear—was an additional discussion truly necessary?

  “Lord Hokage, while the letter is detailed, it only covers Kyoichi’s work as a ninjutsu instructor. He might have other structive ideas in different areas.”

  Shikaku’s reasoning was sound.

  Kyoichi’s written suggestions didn’t represent the full extent of his knowledge or expertise.

  After a moment of ption, the Third Hokage nodded. “You’re right. Let’s gather a few avaible Jōnin to discuss this further.”

  “Uood.”

  ---

  “That’s strange. I’ve taught Yuhi Shinku so much—why hasn’t the system given me any rewards? Is it broken?”

  Back at home, Kyoichi uzzled.

  Even by evening, he hadn’t received any rewards, which didn’t align with his previous experiences.

  By his calcutions, he should’ve been rewarded by now.

  The day, he uood why.

  The Third Hokage had sent an Anbu messeo invite him to a Jōnin-level meeting to discuss “academy training camps” and “educational methods.”

  No wonder...

  His suggestions had prompted immediate a from the Hokage, leading to further deliberations.

  The system must have deyed issuing rewards because the matter wasn’t fully resolved yet.

  And this time, the “students” would include Jōnin and even the Hokage himself—a higher quality of audiehan ever before.

  With that realization, Kyōichi headed to the Hokage’s office.

  ---

  Iemporary meeting room, Kyoichi reized several familiar faces: Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Aburame Shibi, and most notably, Minato Namikaze.

  His bright blond hair made him stand out instantly.

  “Greetings, esteemed seniors,” Kyoichi said respectfully.

  As a Jōnin, he didn’t o bow like a subordinate, but he was still the you in the room—just 15 years old.

  Yet, none of the seasoned Jōnin would dismiss him.

  Today’s meeting couldn’t even start without Kyoichi.

  Shikaku gestured for him to take a seat.

  “Now that Kyoichi is here, let’s begin. You’ve all read the report, so you knoe’re gathered.”

  The proposal had already circuted among the attendees.

  “Academy training camps are an excellent idea,” Yamanaka Inoichi said. “Even if future instructors don’t achieve results as impressive as Kyoichi’s, this program would still signifitly reduce the time needed for post-graduation training.”

  Aburame Shibi chimed in, “Based on Kyoichi’s suggestions, are we including all D-rank jutsu iraining curriculum?”

  “Yes,” Kyoichi firmed. “The exaumber of jutsu will depend oudents’ progress. The teiques are primarily meant as iives to keep them engaged. Additionally, we incorporate taijutsu, shuriken teiques, basijutsu termeasures, and foundational medical knowledge. These are essential for battlefield survival.”

  He eborated further, emphasizing how this approach could foster cooperatioween d civilian students. By meaningful rewards, students would be motivated to share their knowledge, creating a mutually beneficial dynamic.

  Shikaku houghtfully.

  Minato Namikaze stood up. “I fully support this initiative.”

  He smiled warmly and oward Kyoichi, a gesture of encement.

  “I agree as well,” Shikaku said, raising his hand.

  One by ohe Jōnin in the room raised their hands in unanimous approval.
