Ch 4 : Ninja school start!

Two days later, school days finally started.

Just like the other parents, Chisaki's father took Chisaki and Konan to the school.

After they said their goodbyes, Chisaki turned towards Suna's school, which looks very different from the Konoha one in the anime.

On the day of registration, the teacher told the new students to come early, as the 3rd Kazelage will be coming to tell them about the will of sand.

At this point in time, the third Kazekage was still alive, and Chisaki was really curious about the one that was hailed as the strongest among the previous Kazekage.

But Will of Sand? Really?

Did they really copy the brainwashing technique from Konoha, hoping that it would also work toward their fledglings?

A few moments later, he was standing in the academy ground with the other people who would join the academy with him.

"The 3rd Kazekage is coming!"

"Wow! It's really the third Kazekage!"

As the place started swarming with more and more people, the playground became noisier and noisier, with the 3rd really igniting the crowd.

For this Third Kazekage, Chisaki must agree that he indeed has the charisma to be regarded as the strongest Kazekage in Suna's history. Based on the aura he gave alone, Chisaki could see that this Third Kazekage should be a lot stronger than its successor, Rasa.

The Third Kazekage was undoubtedly a powerful shinobi. He is hailed as the strongest Kazekage in the village's history and even Sasori, an Akatsuki member, claimed that he had trouble killing him. Based on the databook, he also appeared to have possessed a high level of intelligence as he was able to comprehend the One-Tail's unique powers and produce his own version of the same, thus creating his iconic jutsu, the Iron Sand.

The status of the third Kazekage was really high in the village. And even the kids at the ninja school admired and adored him.

He took a different path from Hiruzen which he displayed the kind and approachable leader and instead took the path of a charismatic war general.

When everything was ready, he stood on the stage and started his speech about the will of sand the next few hundred freshmen.

"When the sand scattered...!"

The speech began, and everyone around Chisaki looked to be influenced by this speech.

However, to Chisaki, who had listened to the will of Fire before, this speech was somewhat lacking a bit.

Yeah, compared to the iconic phrase of

"When the tree leaves dance,

One shall find flames.

The fire's shadow will illuminate the village,

And once again, tree leaves shall bud anew."

The will of sand that the third Kazekage talked about could only be said as a cheap copy.

Chisaki displayed an enamored look on the outside as he didn't want to arouse suspicion. Nonetheless, he secretly sneered toward the will of sand inside his heart.

' Old man third Kazekage, you need to learn from Hiruzen about this. He is the one that could be said as the master of brainwashing.'

With the speech of the will of sand being over, The new students' faces were full of enthusiasm! The speech was a great success, and after the Third Kazekage left, the director of the school began to separate the students into their own homeroom.

Chisaki was pretty unlucky that he and Konan were put in a different classroom.

Konan at first cried and said that she didn't want to go to school if she was not with Chisaki, but after a few consolation words from Chisaki, she eventually let things go and agreed to go to her own classroom.

" You promised that you would not look at other girls, okay?"

" Yeah, yeah. Just go. Either way, I'm not the Pedomaru, so why would I be interested in little kids."

" Pedomaru??"

" Just go!!!"

After Konan left, Chisaki also stepped into his own classroom, walking slowly towards the last seats. Almost all the people here could be said as a cannon-fodder in the next few Ninja war, and Chisaki didn't really have the mind to be in a good relationship with them.

The closer you are to them, the more you will be hurt when you lose them. And in this world where human's life was even worth less than some peanuts, Chisaki didn't want to get close and act all buddy buddy to everyone.

He closed his eyes as he was uninterested in playing with a bunch of brats.

One by one, the students came one after another. As the class got almost full, a middle-aged man entered the class and took the center of the class.

"Good morning, students, I am the homeroom teacher of this class, and I will be teaching you for the next few years. My name is Sora, and you can call me Sora sensei!"

Then, just like usual, everyone started introducing themselves one by one.

"Students, start by introducing yourself! Say your name, your hobby, your ideals, and start from the very left of the first row!"

"My name is Soma. I want to be the greatest cook!"

"My name is….."

...

"My name is Sasori. My hobby is puppetry, and I want to be the strongest puppeteer in the world.

' Sasori, huh? Interesting. To be in the same class as him, what a stroke of luck.'

Among all the people here, only Sasori was able to take Chisaki's attention. That bright red hair and shiny bright eyes, who would ever think that he would be the one Sasori that we all know.

As everyone finished introducing themselves, it was finally Chisaki's turn.

"My name is Chisaki. I like a lot of things. My goal is to live a happy life that I would never regret!"
