Chapter 814: The Ninja Academy Teacher (Main Story Complete)
While Daitoryu Ise Shiki and Uzumaki Kishiki's intentions in Konoha were not entirely pure, this time they had inadvertently done good with their ill intentions.
First, their formidable strength made the Ninja World's upper echelons even more resolute in following the path set by the Moonbath Leader.
Initially, it was solely due to their personal trust in the Moonbath Leader that none of the Ninja World's top figures questioned Daitoryu's actions.
But now, with the facts laid bare before them, no one dared to doubt the threat posed by Daitoryu.
After all, even the Five Kage, the pinnacle of the Ninja World, could barely hold off the resurrected Uzumaki Kishiki, let alone defeat him.
Even the weaker Daitoryu Ise Shiki had demonstrated the ability to massacre elite ninjas.
It could be said that without the Moonbath Leader, Daitoryu Ise Shiki, relying on his space-time ninjutsu for guerrilla warfare, could have crippled the five great ninja villages.
Thanks to Daitoryu Ise Shiki and Uzumaki Kishiki's actions, the Ninja World Alliance's development momentum had increased, and they had become more united, making the Moonbath Leader's plan even smoother.
Additionally, the half of Jishou's body left behind by Uzumaki Kishiki also made a significant contribution to the research on "Xie."
Compared to Boruto, who had just obtained "Xie" not long ago, Jishou's body, which had been parasitized by Uzumaki Kishiki for over a thousand years, was more suitable for research.
In just over ten days, they had obtained two deductions through their research.
First: The unfreezing of "Xie" is irreversible and can only increase, not decrease.
Even if "Xie" could disappear, the unfreezing data would not disappear with it but would remain within the "Ji."
Second: "Xie" can be slowed down by suppressing the body.
However, this is currently just a possibility. Due to the short time frame, the Moonbath Leader and Orochimaru had not yet developed specific drugs, nor could they confirm the effect of slowing down the unfreezing.
Nevertheless, this was still good news for Boruto.
Although it wasn't a complete cure, at least there was now a treatment option, instead of being clueless and having no solutions.
Additionally, the Moonbath Leader had also independently researched "Li," and while he couldn't figure out the time-space aspect, he discovered that "Li" could be manually charged. So, he took the opportunity to help fill up its energy.
"Li" primarily relied on its internal core, which the Moonbath Leader couldn't quite understand, for time-space travel, with chakra playing a secondary role and not requiring a particularly large amount.
After informing them of this, Sasuke and Boruto discussed it for a while and decided to use "Li" to travel back in time and observe the situation.
If there were no issues, they would then travel back to the Moonbath Leader's world.
The Moonbath Leader's world had Daitoryu Ise Shiki and Jishou as research subjects, making it more likely to find a treatment for Boruto's "Xie."
The Moonbath Leader understood this.
Sasuke and Boruto had already been in their world for almost a month, and this wasn't a vacation abroad; they were in a different world, so it was only natural to be concerned.
Therefore, the Moonbath Leader did not stop them and even offered to provide their world with research data on "Xie" and a portion of Jishou's bodily tissue.
However, the price was that Boruto and the others would have to bring more advanced chakra technology from their world to the Moonbath Leader's world in the future.
The Moonbath Leader planned to have Xeraphi record the coordinates of the second parallel world when he had time, so he could personally visit and learn about the advanced technology there.
With the start of the Ninja University semester approaching, the Moonbath Leader invited Sasuke and Boruto to attend the university's opening ceremony and then travel back afterward.
On the day of the opening ceremony, a large number of ninjas flooded into Rikudou Castle to participate in this rare event in the Ninja World.
Since the establishment of the Ninja World Alliance, education had been given unprecedented importance.
As the first-ever higher education institution for ninjas, the Ninja University had received substantial resources from the Alliance.
Therefore, despite being a new concept in the Ninja World, the Ninja University had become well-known among many ninjas due to the Alliance's vigorous promotion.
Everyone was aware that there was now a ninja university exclusively for ninjas.
Unlike the previous ninja schools that trained ninjas, the Ninja University aimed to nurture elite ninjas.
In this school, even ordinary civilians with sufficient learning abilities could master ninjutsu and secret techniques previously controlled by the major ninja villages.
Moreover, the Ninja University did not only admit ninjas with ninja abilities; those with research talents were also welcome.
It wasn't that the Moonbath Leader didn't plan to establish a regular university for non-ninja scientists to research technology.
Some research was better suited for ninjas.
Among the large number of ninjas attending the opening ceremony were the first batch of students admitted to the Ninja University from various parts of the Ninja World, as well as many renowned ninjas.
All the ninja village leaders, including the Five Kage, had gathered at the opening ceremony to participate in this grand event.
"Next, please welcome our respected Ninja University President, the Moonbath Leader, to the stage with a round of warm applause!"
After explaining the Ninja University, the host invited the Moonbath Leader to the stage with a magnetic voice.
Clap! Clap!
Instantly, thunderous applause erupted in the hall.
Today, the Moonbath Leader was no longer just a powerful ninja; to the Ninja World, he was an unprecedented leader.
Many ninjas genuinely respected the Moonbath Leader.
Despite possessing formidable strength, the Moonbath Leader did not abuse it. Even after defeating the village leaders and elites, he did not engage in slaughter or rule the world with Konoha and the Ninja Sect. Instead, he chose to unite them.
Moreover, the Ninja World had indeed developed rapidly under the leadership of the Alliance, making it hard not to admire the Moonbath Leader.
"Truly remarkable," Sasuke observed the expressions of those around him, feeling a deep sense of respect.
Even Naruto, after winning the Fourth Great Ninja War, did not command such respect among ninjas.
The numerous ninjas in the audience, whether they were strangers Sasuke didn't recognize or legendary ninjas like the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage, all had faces filled with respect.
"Hello everyone, I am the first principal of the Ninja School, Tengetsu.
Moonbath Leader took the stage with a leisurely pace, smiling and greeting the crowd.
"Moonbath Leader!"
"Moonlit Immortal!"
"Teacher Moonbath!"
The audience responded with excitement. Moonbath Leader waved his palm downward, signaling for everyone to quiet down, and the venue finally settled into silence.
"More than thirty years ago, starting from Konohagakure, various ninja villages established Ninja Schools, allowing children of appropriate age to take exams and enroll," he began.
Instead of giving a lengthy lecture about the importance of hard work and the consequences of slacking off, Moonbath Leader chose to delve into history.
He first spoke about the origins of Ninja Schools, then about the brutal wars during the Warring States Period, where children were sent to the battlefield to fight.
There were numerous accounts of the Warring States Period in the Ninja World, some focusing on the heroic tales of that era, during which many renowned warriors emerged, such as Senju Dosu, known as the God of Ninjas.
Others preferred to write about the fierce competition among the major ninja clans during that time.
Clans like Senju, Uchiha, and Hyuga, renowned throughout the Ninja World, employed various means to vie for the title of the foremost ninja clan.
However, in Moonbath Leader's account of the Warring States Period, there were no heroic figures, only the tragic and bloody massacres of war.
"After the establishment of Ninja Schools, even if wars continued to exist, at least we didn't witness the absurd and tragic sight of five-year-old children marching onto the battlefield.
When I founded Ninja University, it was not only to cultivate talents that would contribute to the development of the Ninja World but also to ensure that if internal conflicts arose within the Ninja World again, they wouldn't involve minors."
Moonbath Leader didn't shy away from addressing the potential for internal conflicts.
Even in his world, true world peace had yet to be achieved.
Moonbath Leader wasn't sure how long the peace in the Ninja World could last, but he sincerely hoped that if war broke out again in the future, it wouldn't involve children as young as eight or nine, or even eleven or twelve, holding kunai with cold determination as they charged into enemy lines.
"Children are the flowers and future of the Ninja World. The battlefield should never be a place for them."
Upon hearing Moonbath Leader's words, Sasuke felt a bit embarrassed.
Even until his time-travel, their world's Konohagakure still had only a six-year Ninja School.
This meant that if war broke out again, it would become a norm for teenagers to fight on the battlefield.
If the situation were more intense, the early graduation system might be implemented, sending eight or nine-year-olds into battle.
If Sasuke were a ninja without grand ambitions, content with the old ways, he might not have paid much attention to Moonbath Leader's words.
After all, this had been the norm for decades in the ninja villages, and no one seemed to have any significant issues with it.
But was that really acceptable? No one understood the darkness of the village better than Sasuke, as his family had suffered greatly from it.
If war didn't involve minors, even if his brother were a genius, he wouldn't have been able to complete his education at the age of seven, and he wouldn't have been drawn into the dark vortex so early.
If Uchiha Itachi, with his more mature mindset, had not taken the path of clan annihilation, what might have been different?
Sasuke had once considered revolution after his fight with Naruto, but he had put the idea aside, thinking his methods weren't good enough.
Now, seeing a thriving and peaceful Ninja World, Sasuke's revolutionary spirit rekindled within him.
"The Ninja World needs a revolution!" Sasuke silently vowed.
Directly implementing educational reforms was not feasible. Konohagakure couldn't afford to build a Ninja University, and the old guard of Konoha's leadership would never approve such radical educational reforms.
The current Sasuke was no longer the reckless teenager he once was. It would be challenging to transform their Ninja World into the vision Moonbath Leader had presented.
However, Moonbath Leader was a good person, and Sasuke believed he would be willing to answer some of his questions.
Once Sasuke had everything under control, it would be time to bring about change in his world.
"May this world become better tomorrow," Moonbath Leader concluded, offering a blessing to the world as his final words.
"May this world become better tomorrow!" the audience below echoed with excitement.
Although Moonbath Leader didn't utter a single word of encouragement to study, the new students were eager to start their classes immediately.
They wanted to contribute to this world, once filled with war and slaughter, just as Moonbath Leader had, and make it a better place.
"Next, we invite..."
After Moonbath Leader, the Five Kage from the five great ninja villages would also deliver their speeches.
However, these speeches were brief and focused on more practical matters.
After the opening ceremony, the crowd gradually dispersed. Those interested in the Ninja School itself began touring the facility, while those who had come purely for the ceremony quickly left.
Sasuke and Boruto didn't conceal their departure time, and Uchiha Itachi and others came to see them off.
"Hey, blondie, where's your home?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not trying to find you for fun. I'm just worried you'll badmouth me elsewhere," Boruto said, his face full of black lines. Why was his little dad so tsundere?
"It's very, very far away," Boruto replied casually.
"You have to promise me one thing. When you grow up and start working, you must pay attention to time and not neglect your family. Otherwise, I'll not only badmouth you but do it every day," Boruto said earnestly.
Although they weren't from the same world, he still hoped that the Boruto in this world could experience more of his father's love.
"You damn blond brat, why are you so mean? You're going to badmouth me every day?" Naruto exclaimed, his eyes wide.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ ⊥ head ⊥!
"So, you have to promise me," Boruto retorted.
"Moonbath Leader, thank you for your trouble these past few days. The next time I come, I'd like to ask you some questions," Sasuke said, ignoring the exceptional father-son pair beside him and sincerely expressing his gratitude to Moonbath Leader.
"You can come to me when I'm free," Moonbath Leader replied with a smile.
"Mr. Suigetsu, next time we meet, can you tell me about your experiences? This time, I want to hear your story.
After Sasuke finished his conversation with Moonbath Leader, Uchiha Itachi looked at him with a serious expression and asked.
Sasuke thought for a moment and waved to Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi walked up to Sasuke.
Slap.
Sasuke crouched down, maintaining eye level with Uchiha Itachi, then lightly tapped Uchiha Itachi's head with his finger, "Next time for sure."
After saying this, Sasuke smiled and stood up, preparing to take Boruto to the uninhabited land.
It's not very appropriate to cross over in front of so many people.
"Go for it, you can definitely defeat 'the Wedge'."
Dai Tu cheered Boruto on.
"Yeah, Brother Dai Tu, you can definitely become the Hokage too."
Boruto responded.
"Grandpa Moonbath Leader, Brother Dai Tu... Old man, everyone, goodbye."
Boruto bid farewell to everyone, reluctant to part ways.
The "father" who liked to shout, the cute version of "Mr. Sasuke", the all-powerful Moonbath Leader, and Brother Dai Tu who was always willing to help and full of passion...
In less than a month in the parallel world, Boruto had gained a lot of happiness.
Boruto was genuinely worried that he might not be able to return once he left, as the concept of crossing worlds was bizarre in every sense.
"Goodbye."
Little Sasuke smiled and waved goodbye. Now, no one would compete with him for his brother.
"Old man? Is his dad here?"
Naruto looked around but didn't see any strangers who resembled Boruto, leaving him momentarily confused.
After seeing the two of them off, Moonbath Leader also left with his group.
...
In the afternoon, Ninja University officially started classes.
As the bell rang, students in the amphitheater classroom sat or stood, all eagerly looking towards the door until the golden figure entered the classroom.
"Lord Moonbath Leader!"
"Teacher Moonbath Leader!"
The ninjas in the classroom enthusiastically greeted Moonbath Leader as he entered.
Moonbath Leader also had classes at Ninja University, twice a week, once in the afternoon.
Today, Moonbath Leader's classes were on Ninjutsu Philosophy and Chakra Basics.
Since everyone knew it was Moonbath Leader's class, some students and even teachers who didn't have classes came to this classroom to listen in.
Due to the large number of people, Moonbath Leader couldn't respond to everyone individually and could only smile and nod at everyone.
Moonbath Leader placed his lesson plan on the desk and looked at the students.
Among them were many ninjas he was familiar with.
"I can take Teacher Moonbath Leader's class again, great!"
Aoi was excited.
"Aoi, don't cause any trouble this time. We don't want to lose face in front of the entire Ninja World."
Koukichi reminded her.
Ninja University was different from Konoha; there were students from all over the Ninja World. Losing face here would be like losing face internationally.
Tengetsu deeply agreed and nodded.
"Teacher Moonbath Leader is so cool when he lectures. When you're in class, Hinata, I'll take notes for you. I feel like you'll be different from your usual self."
Dai Tu sighed.
Unlike Hinata Hyuga, who had become a medical teacher, Dai Tu was neither a student nor a teacher; he had simply sneaked in to listen to the class.
"Sure."
Hinata readily agreed with a gentle smile.
"Teaching is also a youthful pursuit!"
At this thought, Maito Gai looked forward to Rock Lee and the others growing up; he quite liked his "own" three disciples.
"Graduating too early isn't necessarily a good thing."
Kakashi looked at Shizui and said.
Kakashi returned to the classroom without much sentimentality because he had entered and graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five.
Shizui had spent more time in school than Kakashi, but he was the type to graduate at an accelerated pace.
"If there's nothing urgent, it's indeed good to complete your studies."
Shizui nodded and answered, looking at Moonbath Leader.
In his opinion, being a student of Moonbath Leader was a joy, and if he could be taught by Moonbath Leader until the completion of his studies, it would be one of the happiest things in the world.
"That's true."
Nagato agreed wholeheartedly.
Having lost his family and home at a young age, he had never attended school, so he understood the importance of education even more.
"Did you hear what the seniors said? You must study hard."
Kakashi casually tapped Yamato's head.
Unlike the others, Yamato was a student at the Ninja Academy.
Yamato looked at Kakashi with a pitiful expression. He wasn't slacking off, so why was Kakashi tapping his head?
After the customary self-introduction, Moonbath Leader faced everyone and asked a question.
"Does everyone know who founded Ninjutsu?"
"The Sage of the Six Paths!"
Aoi stood up at lightning speed to answer.
"Very good, then do you know why the Sage of the Six Paths created Ninjutsu?"
Moonbath Leader continued to ask with a smile.
"I don't know."
Aoi scratched her head, realizing she had no impression of the answer.
"For peace."
Nagato stood up and answered solemnly.
"That's right. The Sage of the Six Paths created Ninjutsu not for wealth or fame but for world peace."
Moonbath Leader turned and wrote the two characters for peace on the blackboard.
"The Sage of the Six Paths hoped to use chakra to connect the bonds between people, creating a world without war where everyone could live in harmony. This led to the very first Ninjutsu."
Moonbath Leader began his lecture from the origins of ancient Ninjutsu, praising the Sage of the Six Paths' character while also objectively pointing out the shortcomings of ancient Ninjutsu.
The Sage of the Six Paths was undoubtedly great, but he was still limited by the constraints of his era.
The era in which the Sage of the Six Paths lived was too ancient, and in the current Ninja World, many people still believed that the Sage of the Six Paths was a mythical figure who didn't exist.
When they heard Moonbath Leader eloquently narrate the story of the Sage of the Six Paths and Ninjutsu, they didn't find it boring at all; instead, they found it very interesting.
Thus, four periods passed by unnoticed. When the bell for the end of the fourth period rang leisurely, Moonbath Leader organized his lesson plan, smiling at all the ninjas below the stage.
"Class dismissed."
