Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-609

“The ninja academy has been rebuilt, and I am going to arrange for the three of you to work in the academy from here on… and I don’t think I need to mention the reason as all three of you are smart enough to figure out the reasons, so…”

As soon as Kuroto heard Sarutobi Hiruzen’s unexpected words, his expression changed slightly, and he tried to figure out Sandaime’s thoughts and intentions behind such a decision.

Hyuga Kuroto, Uchiha Shisui, and Might Guy are Jonins who were once part of team-11 which was considered as the strongest Anbu squad, after they left the team-11, each of them led their individual Anbu or Jonin squads, even if that was the case only for a few months, the individual strength, experience, and loyalty of the all three of them cannot be denied.

So, it can be said that Kuroto, Shisui, and Guy are some of the most trusted, and strongest subordinates of Sarutobi Hiruzen. And as mentioned repeatedly, on the bright side, Uchiha Shisui is in fact, considered as the strongest Shinobi on the side of Konoha. Even if Hyuga Kuroto and Might Guy cannot be considered on the same level as Uchiha Shisui, they are considered strong Jonin Class shinobi nonetheless.

So, it makes sense that Sarutobi Hiruzen is appointing the three of them to teach in the Ninja Academy.

Obviously, the three of them are not transferred to the ninja academy just to teach the students there, the main duty of the three of them will be the protection of the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi, that is Uzumaki Naruto, who will also be entering the academy.

After all, the current Shinobi World is much more complicated and dangerous compared to the same time in the canon. And Naruto who is the Jinchuriki has to be protected at all costs.

Apart from this reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen also took advantage of the opportunity provided by Shimura Danzo and decided to transfer his trusted subordinates to the Ninja Academy in order to strengthen his control over the Ninja Academy to make sure that the Academy comes under his control, which is a very good political move.

It must not be forgotten that just because Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and Neji were taken away from the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen lost the support of the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan, which caused him to lose the Vote of Confidence and caused all the political mess in the Village. Obviously, he can’t allow such a thing to happen again and again, he has already learned his lesson from this mistake and decided to make suitable arrangements to ensure the safety of all the children at the academy.

After all, apart from Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hyuga Hinata, several other children such as Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, Aburame Shino, Inuzuka Kiba along with several other kids with important identities will be entering the academy from this year.

With Kyuubi’s Jinchuriki, heirs, and important members of major Shinobi Clans, the safety of the ninja academy is now given the top priority in the village and no mistakes are allowed… And it makes perfect sense to have some of your best subordinates given such an important duty.

Now obviously, the three of them wouldn’t be transferred without giving them suitable positions… after all, all three of them are Jonin and have either served as Anbu squad captains or as the Jonin squad leaders, so Sarutobi Hiruzen understands that appropriate positions are necessary… especially for Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Kuroto for they represent the Uchiha Clan and Hyuga Clan.

As such, he asked, “The Ninja Academy currently lacks a principal, who of you wants to serve as the Principal of the Ninja Academy?” And inadvertently glanced in the direction of Uchiha Shisui…

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen questioned all three of them, at the bottom of his heart, he was hoping for Uchiha Shisui to take that position…

There are two main reasons why Sandaime wants Uchiha Shisui to serve as the principal…

First is obviously Shisui’s strength… On the night Akatsuki Organization attacked Konoha, Uchiha Shisui showed extremely strong combat effectiveness… he was the only person in the village who was able to interfere in the fight between the leaders of the Akatsuki Organization and the Amatsukami. Not only did Uchiha Shisui fight against Tobi––the guy that single-handedly defeated the five Kage––but also protected Killer Bee and Yagura Karatachi from the clutches of the Akatsuki Organization and from the meteorite that was summoned by the leader of the Amatsukami.

At this moment, except for Uchiha Shisui, no one in Konoha is capable of going against the Super Kage Class Shinobi, so Shisui is the best bet Konoha has who can at least protect the future generation… And as such Sandaime wants Shisui to be the principal.

The second reason is that since Shimura Danzo has been appointed as the temporary Hokage, so feud with the Uchiha Clan is inevitable, and Sandaime can foresee that if Danzo remains in power for very long, the relationship with the Uchiha might again deteriorate, so placing Shisui on high-level position is a good political move as it will stabilize the mood of the Uchiha Clan… Moreover, given how active the name of the Uchiha Clan is in the Shinobi World at this point in time, they have to be given some rights and power… And making Shisui the principal is the best solution.

But it’s a pity that these were just Sarutobi Hiruzen’s thoughts, and they were bound to fail.

Because as soon as the question of becoming the principal of Ninja Academy came, both Shisui and Guy immediately turned their eyes towards Kuroto who was standing in the centre.

Sandaime was a little surprised by the implication of Shisui and Guy’s actions, but as an experienced and qualified politician, he understood the thoughts of the two, and immediately after covering up his surprise he lightly smiled while looking at Kuroto and asked, “Kuroto-kun… would you be willing to serve as the principal of the Ninja Academy?”

Kuroto hesitated a little, but after thinking a little he nodded, “If that it is Sandaime Hokage-sama’s command.”

Elder Hiruzen nodded in lightly, and said, “In that case, I appoint you as the Principal of the Ninja Academy.”

Kuroto bowed and said, “I shall do my best to stand up to your expectations Sandaime-sama.”

Obviously, there is a reason why Kuroto accepted the job as the principal of the Ninja Academy. Firstly, he wouldn’t have to run all over the Shinobi World to complete missions, that has been the case for the past few years, and since he will not have to run all over the Shinobi World, he will get to experience some slow life and also allow him to focus more on his Project Godhood.

Apart from getting to live some slow life, Kuroto will also be able to get close to the reincarnations of Asura and Indra, which will definitely be helpful in the long run.

Additionally, the post of the Principal of the Ninja Academy is also a high-level position in the village, although not on the same level as the Hokage, the Elders, the Patriarchs of Major Shinobi Clans, or the Jonin Commander, it is on the same level as the department heads.

Commander of the Anbu department, head of the Intelligence Division, head of the Sealing Squad, Head of the Medical Division, Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force et cetera are on the same level as the Principal of the Ninja Academy. Becoming the principal of the Ninja Academy will increase Kuroto’s authority, political influence, as well as overall status.

After becoming the Principal of the Ninja Academy, Kuroto will also be allowed to participate in the council meetings, as such, Kuroto agreed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded towards Kuroto, then immediately said to Shisui and Guy, “Shisui-kun, I shall appoint you as the Vice Principal of the Ninja Academy, and Might Guy will be the chief examiner… The two of you will help Kuroto-kun manage the Academy…”

“As per your command, Sandaime Hokage-sama!” both Shisui and Guy nodded together.

With that out of the way, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed a scroll to Kuroto and explained, “This is the list of all the trainees joining in this session… Because of Akatsuki’s attack a few months ago, the Ninja Academy was destroyed and the teaching for the new session never began and was delayed for several months, therefore, we have decided to merge two sessions this year, and start with a grand entrance ceremony… The trainees in this session will be far more than all the previous sessions, so you have to pay more attention…”

“I understand.” Nodded Kuroto and after taking the scroll, he started to see the list of the trainees.

As Sarutobi Hiruzen said, although the entrance ceremony was held for Neji and Shion’s session because Akatsuki Organization attacked the same night and destroyed the village, therefore, the trainees of Neji’s session couldn’t formally enter the academy and start their training as Shinobi.

Now that the Ninja Academy has been rebuilt, the village administration has decided to merge Neji and Sasuke’s session… Which might be an interesting turn of events according to Kuroto.
