18 History Lesson

The next few days after that were uneventful. They just had some regular classes though the classes of the Elites were conducted differently. In the morning, they would be having academics and theory. This consisted of history classes, geography, math and others. There are also theoretical just like how chakra works, how Ninjutsu is performed, how to throw kunais the right way, and stuff like that.

During the afternoon, they would be doing practical lessons where they would try to apply what they have learned in theory. This class actually has a certain level of risk because they're essentially having children experiment to learn properly. For example, throwing shuriken and kunai can lead to harming themselves. However, the village didn't want to coddle the Elites too much and actually allowed this to happen. After all, it was faster to learn how not to do a certain thing if you've personally hurt yourself doing that exact same thing.

Hinata had it pretty easy during classes. While endless chakra didn't give her endless intelligence, she had the advantage of possessing her last life's memories.

Math? She didn't grow old enough to encounter calculus but she still did algebra. The math here can at most be elementary level.

Geography? She watched Naruto before and already knew most about the Shinobi world and the Five Elemental Nations.

History? Well, this was a bit tricky since she was in an AU but she was still able to know bits of history that remained the same like how Hashirama and Madara founded the village and how Madara betrayed the village.

Practical lessons were even easier since she trained mostly for them. It was only in her academics that she needed to renew her knowledge on but that wasn't such a big problem. She was still able to rank high in academics.

As of now, they were having another history lesson before the day ended. To be honest, Hinata was actually a bit interested in this class which was surprising. Usually, history was the most boring class but the teacher, who introduced himself as Hiroshi, teaches history in the form of storytelling.

He would narrate past events like it was something out of a fairy tale to keep his students interested. Even Hinata who already knew a lot of the history was listening closely.

For today's history class, Hinata was especially invested because she was about to encounter the first major difference in the timeline from the original that she knew of.

The history story for the day was "The Day The Village Lost Two Sannin" as said by Hiroshi.

"Before we start, do any of you know the Sannin?", Hiroshi asked the class. No one answered so he continued. "The Sannin were legendary shinobi and were students of the Third Hokage. During the Second Shinobi War, they became famous by showing the world their might. They soon fought the Demigod Hanzo to a tie and were then called the Sannin after that."

"The Sannin were namely the Toad Sage Jiraiya who was known for his strong body and also being the village's only Sage. He was also known for being a pervert. Some call him Pervy Sage behind his back."

"The next would be the Slug Sannin Tsunade Senju, the Senju princess and the granddaughter of the First Hokage. As a Senju, she showed immense physical strength but that was not what made her famous. Instead, she became famous for singlehandedly lowering the war casualties with her profound medical knowledge and skills."

"The last one would be the Snake Sannin. He was called so because he became the first one to sign a contract with the snakes. He was also known to have the cold temperament of snakes. He was famous for his brilliant mind that he was able to master many kinds of techniques. People even thought that he would take his teacher's title as the Professor when he grows older."

"Now let's move on to how the village lost two of the Sannin. During the Second World War, Tsunade had a younger brother who died. Despite being the most renowned medical-nin, she could only helplessly hold her brother as he slowly bleeds to death. This eventually left a scar on her and whenever she sees blood, she gets reminded of the scene."

"This was equivalent to crippling her medical prowess because she was no longer able to treat patients in the right state of mind. In fact, because she would shake so much when seeing blood, she caused more harm instead when she insisted to help. This caused a bunch of ungrateful fellows to form a grudge with her and tried to drag her reputation down to the ground. Fortunately, she made a big enough reputation and their plan backfired on them instead. However, Tsunade still felt immense guilt for those she harmed and disappointment for herself that mere blood can conquer her. So, she eventually left the village. Out of respect for her past contributions, she wasn't treated as a missing-nin and was instead seen as a shinobi on vacation."

"Now, Jiraiya, the Toad Sage was known to have fallen deeply in love with the Slug Sannin. Despite being a pervert, he remained a virgin until he grew old because only Tsunade was allowed to allow take his virginity. After Tsunade left, he felt that there was no use staying in the village and followed her."

Upon hearing about the love story between the two Sannin, two people were the most affected in the room. Can you guess who they were?

They were naturally the two simps, Choji and Ino. Ino would glance at Sasuke from time to time and fantasize about their own story whereas Choji seemed to be making an oath while looking at Hinata.

Hiroshi was amused at his students' behavior but continued with his story.

"The Snake Sannin was left alone in the village after his only two friends selfishly left. This made his already chilly nature become even colder. To distract himself from depression, he buried himself in endless cycles of research. After that incident, he was rarely heard of again as he remained low-key for the years to come."
