"Those who believe in miracles are as great as miracles themselves. Haha, I also believe in miracles."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood outside the classroom, a gratified smile on his face as he listened to Satoru's words.
Miracles, huh?
He left with a smile.
Satoru's abilities were as reassuring as ever.
...
"Those who believe in miracles are as great as miracles themselves."
Rock Lee kept muttering his teacher's words.
Although what the teacher had just told was only a story, this sentence made him feel filled with power.
A vibrant, forward-moving power.
Perhaps he could, as his teacher said, believe in miracles.
No, he should believe even more in the miracles that could be achieved through effort, not just fantasy.
His dream of becoming an excellent Ninja without Ninjutsu became a little firmer.
...
"Those who believe in miracles are as great as miracles themselves."
Hyuga Neji was stunned by these words.
What a longed-for power! Even he could feel the vibrant strength within those words.
However, if one believed in miracles, the Hyuga's Caged Bird would also trap those miracles.
Miracles were great, but there were absolutely no miracles in the world; what the teacher said was just a story after all.
He looked at the other students in the class and found that they, like Lee, had that hopeful glow on their faces.
This sentence could indeed touch one's heart and give power.
But, it did not include him.
...
Satoru was very satisfied with their expressions.
When he heard that sentence back then, he was also full of passion, at the same age.
"Haha, although that was just a story, among the people I know, there is indeed someone who became an excellent Ninja by relying solely on Taijutsu."
Finally, he added another layer to strengthen the power of that sentence.
As soon as this sentence came out, the students were stunned again.
There really was such a person?
"That's right, he is the Mighty Green Beast of Konoha, who became an excellent Jonin through hard work.
He is a very reliable man in Konoha, second only to me."
Satoru said.
"Really, teacher?" Rock Lee raised his hand and shouted.
This was too important for him.
"Yes, although he is very busy because he is too excellent, you might encounter him if you are out shopping.
He has a bowl cut, wears a green jumpsuit, and is a man who loves to train hard."
Satoru said.
Might Guy was indeed very busy; you could tell his excellence from the original work, as he was always on missions at critical moments.
Unlike Kakashi, who would always end up in the hospital at critical moments.
In reality, he was even busier, busier than Satoru, the leader of the Analysis Team.
Since becoming a Jonin, Might Guy had almost annually undertaken one or two S-rank missions, as well as various A-rank missions, practically receiving missions until his hands were sore.
"Bowl cut, jumpsuit, loves to train." Rock Lee muttered.
He wrote it down.
His heart exploded with excitement; it turned out there really was someone in Konoha who became a Jonin by relying on Taijutsu.
A Jonin must be an excellent Ninja; he had also studied this.
Hyuga Neji looked at Satoru with his Byakugan and saw no micro-expressions of lying on his face.
It seemed Satoru was right; there really was such a person.
But he only said there was only one, right? That was even fewer than the people of their Hyuga main family, so there could be no miracle.
"Ahem, but he became an excellent Ninja relying on Taijutsu, but his theoretical grades, when he was studying, were also above average, you know.
That is to say, you can be biased in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Genjutsu, but you absolutely cannot be biased in studying.
That is one of the reasons he became an excellent Ninja."
Might Guy's theoretical grades were similar to his when they were in school.
Uninformed people could easily be misled by his outward appearance.
"The Mighty Green Beast of Konoha, what a fierce title."
"Is he someone like Lady Tsunade, or Captain Satoru?"
"He should be someone like Copy Ninja Kakashi."
There really were such Ninja, the classroom was abuzz with discussion.
This was truly outside their system of knowledge.
Having heard stories and legends, they were all very excited.
This class was much more interesting than those taught by other teachers.
"Um, teacher, it's my turn to ask. I also want to become a powerful female Ninja like Lady Tsunade.
How do I do it?"
The girl with two buns in her hair, hearing the teacher's answer to Lee, also raised her hand curiously and asked.
Her goal was to become a powerful female Ninja like Lady Tsunade.
It would be even better if the teacher had better direction.
The other girls, hearing this, also looked expectantly at Satoru.
Lady Tsunade was their idol.
When they played Ninja games before, they all wanted to be Tsunade.
Captain Satoru, his words must be credible, if there was a way, that would be truly great.
"Good question, it's still the same as what Rock Lee asked just now.
As long as you believe in miracles and work hard for them,
let alone Tsunade, it's no problem for you to even surpass the First Hokage."
Satoru exaggerated.
In terms of lifespan, it was still possible.
The First Hokage only lived for a few years; without Chakra, they could easily surpass him.
The previous words had already increased credibility, so now he could just brag.
Anyway, for children, it was just hoping they had a goal, and there was no harm.
"We will work hard to become powerful female Ninjass like Lady Tsunade."
"Captain Satoru, you mustn't lie to us."
"By the way, why is it called Captain Satoru? Is it because he became a captain?"
Tenten sat back down after getting her answer.
Satoru was very satisfied.
"Teacher, what do you think destiny is, and can destiny be changed?"
Although Hyuga Neji felt that the teacher only wanted to boost the students' confidence, he still couldn't hold back and wanted to know the teacher's view on destiny.
Satoru asked, "Why ask such a profound thing? Is it that thing on your head?"
He knew that he would answer easily; Hyuga Neji might not even waver a bit; he wasn't Naruto and didn't have talk-no-Jutsu.
Nor did he have Naruto's vibrant power that yearned for sunlight even when living in darkness.
He couldn't infect people.
Especially smart people like Neji.
Or rather, even if he used psychology, it would be impossible to solve.
Because the facts that happened to Hyuga Neji would not change.
It was just to lighten Naruto's burden later.
To make his talk-no-Jutsu easier later.
Neji's eyes changed upon hearing this, his face exceptionally ferocious as he stared intently at him.
"Don't look at me like that, I know about your clan's affairs.
Back to your question, what is destiny?
So-called 'destiny' is an objective limitation that cannot be surpassed even after objective effort.
One must do their best to know their destiny, and destiny is not entirely predestined."
Satoru still believed in destiny, otherwise he wouldn't be here.
Also, the Toad Sage's prophecy was a type of destiny.
"There's another saying, destiny is merely the boring self-gratification of the defeated, the excuse of the timid.
Our future can only be decided by our will and our own efforts."
The meaning in his words was that, no matter which one, it could be decided by oneself.
