"My name is Aoyama Ryōsuke. I like literary works, such as poetry. I dislike unhealthy food, and my dream is to contribute my share to the village!" Teacher Aoyama started with a detailed self-introduction.
"Today is the first day of class, so we won't be covering any specific content. First, let's get to know each other and be able to call each other by name. Everyone, follow the template I just gave, and introduce yourselves. Is anyone willing to go first?"
He's really straightforward... Yeah! The familiar formula! The familiar taste!
"I'll go first! I'll go first! My name is Jirō Inuzuka. I like Pillow (likely a dog's name), I hate people who eat dog meat, and my future dream is to become Hokage!"
As soon as Teacher Aoyama finished speaking, a boy in a blue T-shirt sitting in the middle of the classroom jumped up to speak, taking advantage of the fact that most of his classmates hadn't reacted yet! Pillow (likely a dog's name) is probably the name of the brownish-yellow puppy on his head...
Following him, four or five other boys with strong showmanship stood up, eager to speak and afraid of being overshadowed by others.
The situation was a bit chaotic, but at least it wasn't a cold scene, and Teacher Aoyama breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't rush, everyone. We'll go one by one. Let's start with the girl on the left in the first row..."
"My name is Saho Harada. I like kittens, I hate spicy food, and my dream is to become an excellent kunoichi!"
Unexpectedly, the second person to speak was a cat lover, forming a stark contrast with Jirō Inuzuka.
"My name is Seiga Kobayashi. I like... I dislike... My dream is..."
"My name is Ruyi Sarutobi, from the Sarutobi Clan. I like grilled meat and sweet potatoes. I don't really dislike anything, and my dream is to become the next Hokage." A small but confident boy stood up and spoke. His arrogance was so strong that even Tōshirō, born into the Uchiha Clan, felt a bit inferior, drawing the attention of many classmates.
As the longest-reigning Hokage in Konoha's history, the Third Hokage had a significant impact on his clan, exemplified by this 'Ruyi Sarutobi'.
He considered himself part of the elite of Konoha and took great pride in his family. He looked down on other commoners and clan members in the village, even those from powerful clans like the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Aburame. Only the Ino-Shika-Chō (Pig, Deer, Butterfly Clan) were slightly more favored as allies.
This wasn't surprising, after all, a large forest has all kinds of birds.
As time passed, one by one, the boys took turns on the podium, introducing their likes, dislikes, and dreams. Teacher Aoyama diligently recorded each one in his notebook.
Through their introductions, Tōshirō learned that his Class 1 was equivalent to a top class from his previous life. The class included children from various clans, such as the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Ino-Shika-Chō (Pig, Deer, Butterfly Clan), as well as some ordinary children with unfamiliar surnames.
He also noticed that among the boys, about seven or eight had the dream of becoming Hokage, including both clan members and ordinary children. The girls, on the other hand, generally aspired to become powerful kunoichi or medical ninjas.
Before long, it was his turn to introduce himself.
"My name is Uchiha Tōshirō. I like soaking in hot springs and reading quietly. I dislike... trouble. My dream is to become a powerful ninja, then travel the ninja world, taste all kinds of delicious food and wine, and make friends with all sorts of beautiful young ladies!" Standing at the podium, Uchiha Tōshirō spoke confidently.
When he finished, Aoyama Ryōsuke couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The first part was relatively normal, but the part about tasting all kinds of food was one thing, and wanting to drink alcohol at the age of six? And making friends with all sorts of beautiful young ladies? The children in the classroom, though precocious, were still just six years old and mostly a bit naive. What was wrong with this kid? Was he too mature?
"Wow, that Uchiha guy has a great dream!"
"Yeah! I've decided. I'm going to change my dream to be the same as his. Travel the ninja world, taste all kinds of food, and drink all kinds of wine!"
"..."
The classroom immediately buzzed with various comments after Tōshirō's speech.
Uchiha Tōshirō wasn't lying; these were his real dreams. In this new world, he wanted to understand the local customs and taste the various delicacies and wines.
These were his genuine aspirations. This world was full of natural energy, whether it was the bizarre and massive beasts or the unique mountain delicacies in the forests, always offering him new taste experiences.
As for making friends with beautiful young ladies... He had finally managed to cross over into a two-dimensional world, a blessing accumulated over many lifetimes. Was he supposed to become a powerful figure behind the scenes or save the world and create peace? What nonsense! Weren't beautiful two-dimensional girls much more appealing? If it weren't for the safety concerns, he wouldn't be so diligent in training to become a ninja.
At most, out of curiosity, he would refine some chakra, learn various amazing jutsu and sealing techniques. Why would he get up early every day to train? He was tired too...
"Uchiha Clan student, your dream is quite unique and grand!"
Is this kid going to become someone like Jiraiya in the future? Imagining a figure in traditional Uchiha dark high-collar clothing, with the red and white clan emblem on the back, squatting by a hot spring and peeping... The image just didn't fit with the Uchiha's proud and cool demeanor!
Yes, this guy, who looked about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, with a bald head somewhat resembling Saitama, was actually familiar with the future member of the Three Great Sages, the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, the teacher of the Fourth Hokage, and the perverted sage Naruto spoke of—Jiraiya...
It was the year 38 in Konoha, and Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were around twenty-eight years old, in their prime. Even the future Kakashi Hatake, the Yellow Flash of the ninja world, was only fourteen and still a teenager.
A butterfly in the Amazon Rainforest in North America, occasionally flapping its wings, might cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.
He, as a time traveler, didn't know if he would cause any butterfly effect. What if Sasuke and Naruto didn't exist in the future? How would the anime continue? And if Madara and the Kaguya Clan appeared, would he have to step up?
For no reason, a series of absurd thoughts popped into Uchiha Tōshirō's mind...
