Wood Leaf Year 41, Early Spring.
The cold morning wind was blowing, fresh and soft, making the people who got up early to shiver, but at the same time, they couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fragrance of spring.
There weren't many pedestrians on the road, but everyone's face was full of hope. At the beginning of the new year, everyone was looking forward to welcoming the arrival of a new life.
It has been nearly a year since the end of the Second Shinobi World War, although the scars left by the war haven't been completely wiped out, they are deeply buried. Life is always about looking forward. (About the timeline, don't rush to talk about it, there will be a separate chapter to explain it later.)
"Phew, I almost overslept." Eminence was running in small steps, thinking about what happened this morning, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Unlike other Chunin who are "retired" in a ninja school, becoming a teacher has always been his dream, and this directly caused him to be too excited last night and couldn't sleep.
When the alarm rang in the morning, he should have jumped out of bed like a carp. However, because he slept too deeply, he flopped on the bed like a salted fish and fell asleep again.
But fortunately, it's not too late … Looking at the time of 7: 20 on his watch, Eminence was secretly relieved. "Today is only the enrollment day, there shouldn't be any new students coming this early."
Walking to the gate of the school, there was no one near the enrollment area.
Seeing this, Eminence's tense heart finally relaxed.
"I knew it, how could there be …" Just as Eminence was about to tidy up his clothes and enter the school in his most energetic state, a small figure suddenly appeared in the corner of his eyes, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
It was a little boy holding a broom, although he wasn't as tall as the broom, his movements weren't stiff at all, obviously he wasn't the kind of person who cleaned for fun to leave a good impression on others.
At this time, Eminence suddenly reacted, after a holiday, the school was so clean that not even a leaf could be seen.
"Ahem, that classmate …"
Hearing Eminence's voice, the little boy turned his head and immediately ran over excitedly. "Sensei!"
"That … You didn't come here yesterday, did you?" Eminence looked at the clean and tidy school and smiled.
"No, I've only been here for two hours." Little Boy shook her head vigorously.
Oh, that's good … Good my ass! Ahhhhh, this is too embarrassing … Thinking that he couldn't even compare to a child, the 8th Awakener screamed madly in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded calmly. "You did well."
This seems to be a teacher with a lot of inner drama … the boy thought to himself as he observed the movements of the Eight Awakenings.
At the same time, the eight Divine Saints also recovered from their awkward situation and noticed something else. To be able to clean up the entire campus in two hours, not only did it show that the other party was extremely efficient, but it also showed that the other party had a very strong will.
Awakened Yagami subconsciously put himself in her shoes. If it were him at her age, he wouldn't even be able to stand the boring task of cleaning for ten minutes.
To be able to withstand temptation and not be tempted by external things is a real ninja … The 8th Awakener nodded with satisfaction. Although he didn't know what kind of talent this little boy had, with this kind of self-control, he believed that he would definitely become an excellent ninja.
At the very least, he has to be better than me … Eminence walked over to the registration office with a smile. "Come over here, the sooner you finish the registration procedures, the sooner you can take the admission documents and go home to rest."
"Name."
"Garashi, Shimizu Garashi."
"Age."
"5 years old."
"Parents."
Garashi was silent for a moment and said with a sad face. "… Sacrificed in the war!"
The 8th Awakener's right hand that was taking notes stiffened. "I'm sorry, I didn't know you …"
He also regretted that he was still too young and didn't make enough preparations.
This kind of sensitive question could have been directly skipped.
Garashi bit his lower lip and shook his head slightly. "It's okay, Sensei, it's been two years, I … I won't cry again."
"He lost his parents at the age of three?" The 8th Awakener was a little depressed. Although the village will give subsidies to the families of ninjas who died in the war, it's still too difficult for a three-year-old child to live independently.
No wonder he's so self-reliant … The 8th Awakener sighed secretly and looked at Shimizu Garashi with a softer gaze.
After registering the information, the 8th Awakener handed the admission documents to Garashi. "Well, you should go home early."
"It's too lonely there." Garashi looked sad.
The 8th Awakener thought that he stepped on a mine again.
Fortunately, Garashi quickly recovered and clenched his small hands and looked at the 8th Awakener with eager eyes. "Sensei, let me stay here and help!"
The 8th Awakener subconsciously wanted to refuse. Although he was just a new teacher, if he asked a student to help on the first day, he would be laughed at by the seniors.
But seeing the sincere look in Garashi's eyes, the words of refusal were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.
It's because he hates loneliness that he's looking forward to the liveliness and liveliness of the school … Aware that he grasped the other's thoughts, the 8th Awakener couldn't refuse. "That … Okay."
"Ah! Great! "Garashi cheered excitedly.
Seeing Garashi who has always been more mature than his peers finally showing a side of him that's in line with his age, the 8th Awakener also smiled with relief.
Although maturity is a good thing, but it comes with a price!
"Sensei, is there anything I can help with?" After the excitement, Garashi looked at the 8th Awakener and asked.
The 8th Awakener touched his chin in a dilemma. It's just a registration, what can he ask Little Garashi to help with?
He can't just leave the registration work to him!
"Got it!" The 8th Awakener's eyes lit up and said with a snap of his fingers, "Well, I'll take you around the school first, and after the other students have finished registering, you can show them the classrooms, the playground, and the cafeteria."
Although he is a new teacher, he also came out of this ninja school ten years ago, plus he came back a few days ago to take a look, so he can still figure out the basic location.
"Yeah!" Garashi nodded again and again.
The ninja school is actually not that big, especially compared to Garashi's memories from the other world.
In ten minutes, Garashi followed the 8th Awakener and walked around the entire ninja school.
When they returned to the registration office, there were still only the two of them in the school.
There's no other way, they arrived too early!
Perhaps the 8th Awakener felt that it was a bit awkward for the two of them to stand there stupidly, so during the time they were waiting, the 8th Awakener explained a lot of interesting things and little knowledge to Garashi.
Finally, when the time came to 8: 20, a new student arrived.
What appeared in their line of sight was a little girl with blood-red eyes.
"Lalalala ~" The red-eyed girl hummed a song and walked briskly.
When she saw the 8th Awakener, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the registration office and asked, "Are you Sensei?"
"Well, my name is the 8th Awakener, you can also call me 8th Sensei." The 8th Awakener tried to squeeze out a "kind and dignified" smile, "Little girl, what's your name?"
However, in the eyes of Garashi and the 8th Awakener, his smile was a bit funny.
This sensei doesn't seem to be very smart … Although she complained in her heart, she still replied seriously, "Kurenai, Kurenai, Kurenai, Kurenai, Kurenai, Kurenai."
"She is Kurenai?" Garashi's face didn't change, but in his heart, he was secretly collecting information about the other party.
Soon, the 8th Awakener finished registering Kurenai's information.
"Garashi, take Kurenai classmate to familiarize herself with the school."
"Yes."
The two walked out side by side, and on the way, Kurenai tilted her head and looked at Garashi next to her and asked, "Garashi -sensei, did Sensei specially ask you to help?"
In fact, she had been curious about Garashi who was standing next to Sensei for a long time, but her good upbringing prevented her from asking abruptly.
Garashi stopped and turned his head rather awkwardly and said, "Kurenai classmate, I'm actually the same as you, a new student who just entered school today."
"Ah? I'm sorry. "Kurenai didn't get angry because of this, but apologized sincerely.
After all, Garashi never said that he was a senior, and she was wrong about it.
"It's okay, I didn't take the initiative to introduce myself." Garashi smiled brightly, "Then let's get to know each other again, I'm Shimizu Garashi, please take care of me in the future."
Kurenai nodded excitedly, "My name is Kurenai, let's work hard together in the future!"
Then, she asked with some doubt, "You're also a new student, why did Sensei Yagami ask you to familiarize me with the school?"
If it wasn't for Sensei Yagami's arrangement, she wouldn't have called him by the wrong name.
Garashi smiled a little embarrassedly, "I took the initiative to apply to Sensei Yagami, we'll be classmates in the future, and I want to do something for everyone that I can."
Kurenai didn't think much about it, and just clapped her hands and praised, "You're such a nice person!"
Then, she was a little embarrassed, "If it were me, I wouldn't have the patience to help everyone, compared to you, I'm really too lousy."
Garashi smiled and said, "Kurenai classmate, you don't have to compare yourself to me, everyone has a unique self, doubting and denying yourself will only make you unhappy, so you must be happy to be yourself! Only then can we find the forest that belongs to us. "
"Yes, yes!" Kurenai's eyes lit up, Garashi's words were really nice!
… …
In addition to Kurenai, Garashi also guided many "famous people", such as Ibixi who always had a straight face, Shizune who was holding a small Ninja Pig, Mizuki who looked gloomy, and Asma, the delinquent who almost missed the registration.
Even the other students, who were not even considered passersby in the original track, were treated with great enthusiasm by Shushi.
This also made it so that on the first day, all the students remembered a name – Shimizu Garashi!
