#307 - Class Notes
"Eh? Isn't that ~"
"What's wrong?"
"Is that the Hokage on the platform? Why does he look a little familiar?"
"You've probably seen him somewhere before. Our Hokage is a very kind old man, often strolling around the streets."
"Really? Hmm... Damn! It's still too far away, I can't quite make out his face~"
"Hey~ You two, be quiet. The Hokage is giving his opening speech."
...
Looking at Naruto and Hinata, who were whispering in front of him and being warned by their homeroom teacher Iruka, Liang Yue felt a little helpless.
But then, he temporarily put these thoughts behind him, secretly activating the spiritual power within his body. After a silent surge, a layer of almost imperceptible white light enveloped his eyes.
Around the corners of his eyes, shallow grooves silently protruded.
Byakugan mode, activate~
With a sweep of his gaze, apart from a certain angle behind his head, which he couldn't see due to the obstruction of the Caged Bird Curse Seal, a 360-degree spherical view immediately appeared within his observation.
This was an all-around exploration method from within the eyeball.
Novel and wonderful~
To a certain extent, it could ignore the obstruction of the human body and even external objects, and detect the target from multiple angles, even with X-ray vision.
Although Liang Yue could also use his own mental power, hearing, and smell to cover a certain range around him after advancing to the Innate Realm.
To achieve an effect similar to a monitoring field, if he were to simply observe with his eyes, the effect would not be as direct as the Byakugan!
Perhaps one day in the future, when his cultivation realm improves to a certain level, Liang Yue may automatically possess a pair of eyes that can surpass the abilities of the Byakugan.
But at least not now!
At this time, Liang Yue's purpose in activating Byakugan mode was nothing else, he simply wanted to observe the chakra within the Hokage's body.
With a turn of his gaze, just as he aimed his eyes at the little old man on the stage, the other party seemed to sense something.
The amiable and kind smile under the Hokage's hat suddenly froze, and he glanced at Liang Yue almost imperceptibly, then nonchalantly continued his rambling speech about the Will of Fire.
However, Liang Yue's observation did not end there.
Being inconsiderate, he kept his Byakugan open, watching the surging chakra within the Third Hokage's body.
When Iruka or other ninjas passed by, he would simply close his eyelids. Anyway, the Byakugan could see through, so he didn't care about this little obstruction.
It wasn't until the speech was nearing its end that he slowly withdrew his gaze.
He exhaled lightly, a look of "as expected" flashing in his eyes.
...
After an opening ceremony without much formality, the crowd on the playground was taken back to their respective classes.
Whether it was fate or because someone deliberately arranged it.
In short, Liang Yue, Hinata, Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and others were assigned to the same class.
After a simple speech by their homeroom teacher Iruka, the people below began to go on stage one by one to introduce themselves.
Soon, after this process, the group of little brats in the class got to know each other.
Then, teaching began~
Iruka stood on the podium with his hands behind his back, lecturing while occasionally picking up chalk to write down some knowledge points on the blackboard.
"...The skills of a ninja can generally be divided into three categories: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu..."
"...Chakra is the basic condition for becoming a ninja. In essence, it is the energy extracted from the 130 trillion cells in the human body, combined with our mental power, and condensed into a kind of..."
"...Generally, a ninja's chakra is divided into five attributes: Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning, and Earth..."
"...To release ninjutsu of the corresponding attribute, you must cooperate with the twelve basic hand seals of ninjutsu. These twelve hand seals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep..."
Although it was the first day of school, Iruka obviously didn't want these newly enrolled children to have it too easy.
Therefore, relying on his solid basic knowledge reserves, this homeroom teacher immediately stuffed a lot of knowledge about ninjas into the group of little brats in the class.
From the origin of ninjas, to the classification of ninjas, to the types of ninjutsu, to the gathering of chakra, and so on.
The content was broad, complex, accurate, basic, and covered a wide range.
The children from the Konoha families were fine. They had naturally learned a lot of knowledge in this area at home before.
With such a large amount of theory poured down, they could barely keep up.
But for those classmates from civilian families, their reaction at this time was like listening to a heavenly book.
Their faces were full of curiosity, excitement, ignorance, and seeming understanding.
After listening for a while, they began to feel dizzy. They didn't remember much of the serious content, they just felt that ninjas were indeed not simple, so awesome...
Just like Naruto, who was sitting next to Liang Yue. At first, when he heard it, he still looked bright-eyed and enthusiastic, but now his eyes had begun to become confused.
His expression was erratic, and he scratched his cheeks.
Obviously, the purpose of their homeroom teacher Iruka in talking about these things now was not to make the little brats in the class remember these contents.
After all, most of the students in the class were only six years old, which is only the level of preschool in modern society. Students of this age cannot receive too much information in a short period of time.
Even if what Iruka is talking about now is only some very superficial ninja knowledge.
But the reason why he still explains it this way is probably just to make the students have a sense of awe in their hearts.
Both awe for the way of the ninja, awe for knowledge, and also awe for Konoha and his homeroom teacher.
In summary, the knowledge that Iruka is talking about now is actually just a simple summary of ninja basics.
In the next few years, he will inevitably spend a lot of time, more thoroughly and concretely, teaching these contents to the students in the class.
However, even so~
Liang Yue will not be careless here. Even if he is now practicing a more advanced cultivation path.
But as a cultivator, one needs to have a sense of awe and exploration in their heart for any systematic growth path, to learn and understand it.
Even if it is only observing from the perspective of reference, one needs to treat it seriously.
In fact, not only Liang Yue, but even the young ladies in the stronghold world seemed very serious.
At this moment, they were with Liang Yue, each holding a notebook, listening quietly to the lecture through video live broadcast, and recording the key content in it.
...
"Hey~ Chunqiu, did you understand?"
Naruto scratched his yellow hair, turned his head with a look of irritability, and looked at Liang Yue next to him.
He wanted to seek recognition, but then, for the first time in his life, he felt a kind of crushing from the height of a genius's IQ.
"What are you doing, Chunqiu?"
"Taking notes~"
Liang Yue was holding a pencil at this time, quickly writing and drawing in his notebook, while responding softly.
In the meantime, some of the key knowledge that Iruka had talked about before had been recorded by him, and he had also made it both graphic and textual.
For example, the basic ninjutsu hand seals such as Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, etc., which are represented by the twelve zodiac signs.
In addition to recording in writing, Liang Yue also vividly recorded these twelve hand seals in a stick figure style below.
"Sugoii... Did you understand everything?"
Looking at the dense notes on the paper, vortex patterns and a full sense of shock appeared in the little yellow hair's eyes again.
"I didn't understand some of it, but the teacher will definitely talk about it again in the future."
Liang Yue said modestly upon hearing this.
"Oh..."
