Chapter – 638 Changing the Ninja Academy

Kuroto went to the cell incubation chamber to start the preliminary processing of Deidara's cells after admiring his freshly updated laboratory for a while.

He then gathered the processed cells and began the activation phase for Deidara's cells in the newly purchased incubator.

Kuroto changed the cell fusion process after a lot of research and practice. Instead of performing the cell fusion process directly, he added a few extra steps before the final cell fusion to improve the viability of the cells and only performs the cell fusion when the viability of two cells is the highest. Using this approach offers various advantages, including an increase of at least 3% in cell fusion success.

Don't underestimate this 3% boost in success rate; it may appear insignificant at first, but as the number of experimental efforts approaches thousands or hundreds of thousands, there will always be some successful cases, no matter how diametrically opposed two cells are in nature.

And that's not all; this 3 percent increase in success rate not only saves money and time, but it also enhances the overall grade of the cell generated after the fusion, which has a number of benefits, including improved physique, increased chakra reserves, greater Byakugan quality, and so on.

Kuroto would have an easier time developing the clone if the grade was higher.

Kuroto's Fujin Clone is an example of this predicament; the Fujin Clone he now employs suffered from genetic mutation and regression, as a result, it outperformed Kuroto's expectations, and there was no need to further develop or train it... In fact, it exceeded Kuroto's expectations to the point where he had to continue developing the Suijin Clone and the Homusubi Clone in order to keep all of the clones balanced.

As a result, the new stages that have been included are extremely advantageous to him.

Let's get back to the task at hand now that we've clarified the improved method.

"According to my estimates, the final success rate of the cell fusion is 4%..." mumbled Kuroto, frowning as he examined the computed result in front of him.

The additional stages he has included can boost the success rate by 3%, but the final success rate calculated is only 4%, which is far too low... And this low result clearly indicates that Deidara's cell tissues are incompatible with Kuroto's cells. Kuroto's cell tissues and Deidara's cell tissues are only marginally more compatible than Kuroto's cells with the Uchiha Clan's cells.

This is also quite understandable... Kuroto's cells reflect the Hyuga Clan, which has a mild and tranquil chakra nature, but Deidara's cells represent a very violent and unstable Chakra Nature, hence it's only natural that their cells aren't particularly compatible.

Fortunately, he has improved the technique so that the fundamental success rate of the fusion has increased, and he no longer has to struggle in an infinite circle of failure, as he did with the Uchiha Clan cells.

Deidara's cell tissues are already highly vigorous and don't need to be cultivated for very long because his body is in a developmental stage.

As a result, after setting the incubation duration on the cell incubator, Kuroto gently exited the cell incubator room.

Kuroto's gaze instinctively fell on the long row of brand-new huge nutrition troughs in front of him as he walked out of the cultivation chamber.

He recently purchased all of these big nutrient tanks. These new nutrition tanks have higher performance and are more stable than previous ones.

Because he had so much money, Kuroto got rid of all the old large-scale nutrient tanks in the lab and bought sixteen of the most modern large-scale nutrition tanks in the ninja world all at once.

Six of them will be utilized to store the clones of the six Chakra natures. He prepped the remaining ten for the cultivation of the other clones.

He won't have to cultivate two clones at a time like in the past. With these ten new huge nutrient tanks, he will now be able to complete 10 clones at a time, and the larger the base, the more likely fine products will emerge. In the future, he will be able to carefully select among ten clones and choose the best clone for further development.

With these thoughts in mind, Kuroto proceeded to check the condition of the Suijin Clone and the Fujin Clone.

The Suijin clone is stable and there are no abnormalities, and the deterioration of the Fujin Clone has been controlled after exchange transfusion treatment, but the effect of exchange blood therapy will become more and more poor based on the analysis of the data detected by the instrument. One blood change may last a month the first few times, but after a few times, one blood change may only last twenty days or even less, and this duration will continue to decrease with each change.

In other words, the Fujin clone has its limits, even if the cost of exchange blood treatment is vigorously spent to preserve it.

It's difficult for Kuroto to estimate how long this limit will last at the moment; it could be two to three years or even four to five years. In other words, his Wind Chakra Nature clone will always remain in danger of becoming a piece of scrap before his biotechnology advances further.

'Sigh...' he can only sigh helplessly because he has no alternatives to provide in this situation.

Kuroto left the laboratory and returned to the village after a long day.

…

Back in Konoha

After quietly replacing the shadow clone in the principal's office, Kuroto briefly recalled the shadow clone's memories of the past two days.

Everything went as usual during his absence of two days, and nothing major occurred.

As usual, Naruto challenged Sasuke in the academy but was defeated by Sasuke.

Sasuke's adversary has an extra face, which is the only difference.

This new adversary is not someone else; it is the Jinchuriki of Nanabi, Fu from the Takigakure who has recently arrived in Konoha, and the outcome is self-evident. Fu has not gained control over the Nanabi and considering the fact that she isn't allowed to reveal her status as a Jinchuriki, without the help of Nanabi, she, like Naruto, was easily defeated by Sasuke.

Fu, on the other hand, has a demeanor that is quite similar to Naruto's, she has a carefree and laid-back personality, therefore, even If she was defeated by Sasuke, she wasn't all that sad about it, and after becoming a loser who challenged Sasuke. Naruto, Rock Li, Sai, and other kids became friends with her. As a result, she too became an official member of the Losers' League.

Kuroto grinned after reading all of the memories of his shadow clone.

He shook his head with a chuckle, then put his hand on his chin in a thoughtful state.

In actuality, because there are so many skilled faculty and staff in the academy, the principal, Hyuga Kuroto, is simply accountable for making general decisions and doesn't have any major role. Some of the things he has to do on a daily basis as a teacher are unimportant to him. In addition, he has already planned for a number of emergency circumstances. Preparation is key, therefore leaving a shadow clone in the school is sufficient to handle the majority of the ninja school's everyday operations.

He stood up and walked up to the window, where he gazed at the raucous playground below and the students frolicking in it. For a brief while, Kuroto grumbled, then he thought of something, and as a result, a group of faculty members assembled in the faculty room and held an impromptu meeting.

…

Faculty Room

Kuroto gave the staff a sidelong glance and added, "I believe that educational advancement is still too slow. This isn't a playground; it's a ninja school, we need to work while keeping this in mind."

When the instructors gathered around the meeting table and heard the remarks, they were taken aback.

Kuroto actually advanced the teaching progress of this batch of kids a while ago. The course will be completed shortly if they continue to enhance the teaching progress.

After all, the Ninja School simply teaches the most fundamental techniques, as well as some basic Ninja skills like tracking, patrolling, and hunting.

Iluka enquired: "Kuroto-san, with our current teaching speed, the course that has to be completed in the entire duration will be completed within two years, which is already quite early, and if we further speed up the teaching speed, this duration will only decrease… So, what will the children do after that? Would they just graduate and become genin? But… that is a bit… some children are indeed capable of becoming genins at such a young age, but not everyone is… what about them?"

Iluka's words were not just his… All of the faculty members' doubts were directed at the Hyuga mirror, and they looked at him for an answer.

With a wave of his hand, Hyuga Kayami said: "Don't be concerned about these. I'll approach Hokage-sama and the other elders about adding some D-Rank and C-Rank ninjutsu to the ninja academy's scope."

"What!?" Everyone was caught aback by these words of Kuroto.

Even in great Shinobi Villages like Konoha, there are few opportunities to learn ninjutsu. The majority of ninjas practice ninjutsu taught to them by their families and clans. This is why the ninjas from the ordinary villager background generally have no such resources with them. They have to fight multiple life-and-death battles and earn the right to learn a Jutsu through merit, aside from this, they can only learn ninjutsu from masters who are willing to teach their disciples.

In short, on the basic matter of learning ninjutsu, ninjas with ordinary backgrounds have been far behind the ninjas with clan or family background and that's why the starting line for the two parties become different, and so do future achievements.

Several generations of Hokage have built a mentoring structure for all the children who aspire to be shinobi, and this is still the case. The civilian ninja will have no chance to acquire any ninjutsu if there is no mentoring structure created by multiple generations of Hokage.

All of the clans agree on suppressing civilian ninjas and monopolizing ninjutsu resources. This is why just the most fundamental "three-basic ninjutsu" is taught at the ninja school. If the ninja school allows children to learn D-Rank and C-Rank ninjutsu, it will have an impact not only on the affluent Clans' interests but also on the village's reward and punishment system.

After all, several D-Rank or C-Rank Ninjutsu are awarded to deserving village residents. These benefits will be less appealing if the institution teaches them for free.

"Will the village agree?" Shisui wondered.

Shisui knows how strongly Kuroto's idea will be resisted as a member of the Uchiha clan. Shisui is concerned that many people within the Hyuga clan, much alone the other shinobi clans, will resist this plan.

"You don't have to worry about this because I'll take care of it." Kuroto said after a brief pause: "I'd like all pupils to study one of the 'Three-Body Techniques' this month. The evaluation results will be posted on the bulletin board outside the school at the end of the month. In the future, this will be standard procedure. A test will be held once a month, and the results will be posted on the notice board outside each time!"

Guy's expression shifted as he considered something and said, "Is it essential to be that strict?"

"If these students don't want to be the last of their class and session," Kuroto said with a smile, "they'll have to work hard, which is precisely what I expect from them!"
