A ninja arrived at the entrance of the ninja academy, looking at the many young ninjas and parents waiting for enrollment.
"Hello everyone, I am the ninja teacher this time, named Iruka Umino. Parents, please stop here. New students whose names are called, come to me."
"Uchiha Sasuke, Yamanaka Ino, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba..." Iruka read out the names one by one.
"Uchiha Setsuna."
Uchiha Setsuna stepped forward, came to Iruka, and stood together with many other new students until Iruka finished reading the list.
"Alright, these are all the new students this time. Parents, please go back now. I will take the new students to the classroom. Students, follow me."
Uchiha Setsuna, among the crowd, behaved inconspicuously, not attracting any attention. In the life simulator, Uchiha Setsuna might do something different to gain something. But in the real world, Uchiha Setsuna's principle is—stability! When there is not enough strength to change fate, Uchiha Setsuna will not show any abnormality.
New students like Uchiha Setsuna are rare. Most new students are curious about the future life at the ninja academy and their future classmates. Naruto was a bit nervous, but he didn't want anyone to know, so he acted boisterously to disguise himself, like a hedgehog, afraid of being seen through. Uchiha Sasuke was arrogant, not putting anyone in his eyes, including Uchiha Setsuna, this fellow Uchiha. Currently, Uchiha Sasuke only had one person in his eyes, and that was Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Sasuke wanted to become a genius like Uchiha Itachi.
Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura stood together. The two were still friends now, not having fallen out yet. Among the crowd, the most conspicuous was not Uchiha Sasuke, but Akimichi Choji. No other reason, Akimichi Choji's physique was too different from others of the same age. One person was as big as several others.
Entering the classroom, "Students," Iruka came to the podium and said, "Please sit according to the seating chart. Later, I will introduce you to your future studies and life at the ninja academy. Please sit down and be quiet, there will be rewards for good behavior."
After Iruka said this, the students cooperated and sat down. Uchiha Setsuna found his seat. To the left was Hyuga Hinata, to the right was Yamanaka Ino.
'Just like in the life simulator. This proves that when I accumulate enough ninjutsu, genjutsu, and strength, I can plan and try different plans in the life simulator. Whichever plan succeeds, I can replicate it in the real world. This is the second use of the life simulator.'
Hyuga Hinata looked at Uchiha Setsuna, recalling certain things, a hint of confusion in her eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she softly greeted Uchiha Setsuna.
"He-Hello... I'm Hyuga Hinata, nice to meet you, please take care of me."
"Uchiha Setsuna." Uchiha Setsuna only said his name, not intending to communicate more with Hyuga Hinata.
Hyuga Hinata opened her mouth. She was curious about Uchiha Setsuna. Uchiha and Hyuga were both major ninja clans in Konoha. And both had dojutsu as their Kekkei Genkai. One with the Byakugan, the other with the Sharingan. Often compared to each other. But Uchiha Setsuna's cold attitude made Hyuga Hinata hesitant to continue talking to him.
On the other side, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura started whispering to each other.
"Ino, that Uchiha Sasuke is so handsome, seeing him makes my heart race, do I like him?" Sakura asked.
"Is he really handsome?" Yamanaka Ino looked at Uchiha Sasuke, then at Uchiha Setsuna beside him. Yamanaka Ino didn't feel moved by Uchiha Sasuke. But when she looked at Uchiha Setsuna, Yamanaka Ino felt a subtle sensation.
Uchiha Setsuna noticed Yamanaka Ino's gaze but remained silent.
'According to the life simulator, Yamanaka Ino didn't fall for Uchiha Sasuke, but instead liked me, and might even confess to me soon. However, the Yamanaka clan won't side with the Uchiha clan. Even if they did, they couldn't stop the Night of the Massacre. I can't even save myself.'
Iruka cleared his throat.
"Students, please quiet down. Let me introduce myself, my name is Iruka Umino, a Chūnin, currently a teacher at the ninja academy. From now on, I will be responsible for you. Whether it's matters inside or outside the school, you can talk to me. I will help you as much as I can. Now, let's have everyone introduce themselves and get to know each other. Who wants to go first?"
Naruto raised his hand first. When Iruka saw Naruto, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, but he quickly returned to normal. Everyone in the village, except Naruto, knew about the demon fox. And Iruka's parents died in the demon fox's rampage.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and my dream is to become Hokage." Naruto's declaration immediately caused laughter in the class, no one believed Naruto could do it. Many showed disdainful looks at Naruto. Some even mocked him.
"I will definitely achieve it!" Naruto snorted coldly.
"That's a good dream." Iruka controlled the classroom atmosphere and said, "I hope you work hard, sit down, next."
The students stood up one after another.
"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, and my dream is to become a ninja as strong as my brother."
"I'm Haruno Sakura, and my dream is to become a strong ninja."
"I'm Yamanaka Ino, and my dream is to open a flower shop."
"I'm Inuzuka Kiba, and my dream is the same as Naruto's, to become Hokage!"
"I'm Uchiha Setsuna, and my dream is to become a true ninja."
Uchiha Setsuna lied. Uchiha Setsuna's real dream was to change the Night of the Massacre, so that he, his family, and loved ones could survive, instead of being brutally killed. As for being a ninja, Uchiha Setsuna didn't care about that.
Self-introductions, distribution of textbooks, introduction of school rules... A day passed like this. The bell rang.
"Students, class is over. After class, don't linger outside, go straight home, rest well tonight, and come to school on time tomorrow morning, remember, don't be late. Tomorrow, you will officially start learning ninja content."
Everyone swarmed out of the classroom.
