Renjiro fell silent after hearing this. He remembered that Kakashi graduated when he was 5 or 6 years old...
How the hell is it considered graduation without a year of Ninja School? If Uchiha is right, does that mean the original novel can't be trusted?
Renjiro asked again without giving up:
"A 5-year-old really can't go to school? I can pay!"
He is in urgent need of becoming stronger, and there is a lot of knowledge available in the Ninja School.
"It's not impossible to go at the age of five, but you need a Jōnin nomination. Little brother, you should eat well, exercise well, and strive to have a healthy body. That way, you won't be bullied when you go to ninja school in a year!"
Uchiha member explained patiently and gave a suggestion that was in line with the actual situation.
Renjiro fell silent after hearing this. How could he not know that this was the best way?
However, the money he had was only enough to live on for two years, which meant he had to graduate and become a Genin at the age of seven so that he could earn money.
As for investing the twelve thousand taels he had, he felt it was a bit unrealistic and too time-consuming.
If he was delayed for a year due to his health, and wanted to graduate from the Ninja Academy after just one year of study... he was not sure!
Despite possessing the soul of an adult, he was well aware that he was not a genius like Kakashi, not to mention he did not have a Kage-level powerhouse like White Fang behind him.
Two years. The ideal scenario is to graduate in two years, and Renjiro also had this confidence.
It's just a pity that no Jōnin would nominate him...
"Is that so... Okay, thank you!"
Renjiro nodded, and then said thank you. His expression seemed particularly lonely, and his thin body severely touched Uchiha Ruri's kind heart!
"How about... you wait for your sister? I'll ask for you after I'm busy for a while?"
Uchiha Clan member looked at the office behind her and said through gritted teeth, although she and Renjiro didn't know each other, Uchiha member was very sympathetic.
Renjiro was surprised when he heard this.
"Really? Could it be that my sister is a Jōnin?"
"Ah, no, I'm just an ordinary Genin. It's just that my grandfather is a powerful Jōnin. And my cousin is the same age as you this year and will also go to school a year early, so I wanted to ask Grandpa if he could give you a ride, but there's no guarantee of success!"
Uchiha Genin said with a shy smile, looking very cute.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, sister! Not only is your appearance beautiful, your heart is even more beautiful!"
He really meant what he said!
"Ha... haha... no way..."
Uchiha Ruri looked shy. Even though the person who praised her was only a five-year-old child, she couldn't help feeling shy.
"That's because five-year-olds can't lie..."
Before Renjiro could say anything more, the people in the queue behind him were already getting impatient. Uchiha Ruri hurriedly pulled him to her side and motioned for him to wait until she was done.
Renjiro nodded and stood aside waiting quietly.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when Uchiha Ruri finally finished her work. She then took Renjiro into the office not far behind her.
The office door was not closed, and Renjiro saw an old man in his sixties playing a horse riding game with his granddaughter. The girl was laughing happily, but the room was in a mess, which made Uchiha speechless.
"Grandpa, can you please not mess up the office like this every time Mikoto comes? You don't clean it up, so I have to do it. If you continue like this, I will no longer be in charge."
Uchiha ruri muttered discontentedly, her voice was full of resentment, but there was a hint of smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Ah, it's Ruri, are you done? Haha!"
The old man laughed and quickly put Uchiha Mikoto down from his back.
When Uchiha Mikoto saw a stranger coming in, she immediately put on a ladylike and well-behaved look, which made people laugh.
"Hmph, Grandpa, you are too partial. I am busy as hell outside, but you are inside having fun with Mikoto? Are you worthy of me?" Uchiha Ruri said jealously.
The old man touched his nose and laughed again:
"Haha... isn't this everyone doing their job? Grandpa is also very busy, but he just had a break now and is playing with Mikoto. If you don't believe me, ask Mikoto."
After the old man finished speaking, he winked at Uchiha Mikoto desperately.
Seeing this, Uchiha Mikoto blinked her big eyes and smiled at Kaidō: "Ask me? I don't know anything! Hey, is there sand in Grandpa's eyes?"
The old man jumped up in anger when he heard this.
"Stinky girl, grandpa loves you in vain!"
Feeling Uchiha Ruri's resentful gaze, the experienced old man changed the subject.
"Who is this kid?"
Sure enough, this trick was very useful. Uchiha Ruri forgot about getting angry the moment she heard it.
"He, his name is... Hey, what's your name, little brother?"
Uchiha Ruri asked Renjiro as she was talking. She didn't feel awkward at all...
"My name is Uchiha Renjiro."
"Well, this little brother Renjiro wants to enter the Ninja School a year early. Grandpa, can you help him? Add one more nomination to Mikoto's!"
The old man frowned when he heard this: "Ruri, you are too reckless..."
"How can we nominate a Child so casually? Any child who is nominated has the Jōnin's guarantee that he or she will become a Jōnin in the future.
Therefore, the Ninja School will pay more attention to and train such people.
You can even say that most of the Ninja School's energy is spent on this type of student..."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Huh? Oh! I think Renjiro-chan should be able to become a Jōnin."
Uchiha Junko was surprised at first, and then said indifferently, which made Renjiro smile bitterly and feel very moved.
"Should? Can?"
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched fiercely.
"Look at this kid, he's so skinny, he could be blown down by a strong wind, right?
Besides, you probably don't know this boy well. You've only just learned his name... is your sympathy overflowing again?"
"The most important point is that each Jōnin can only have one recommendation..."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Junko ignored most of the words and only replied:
"Grandpa is an elder, is this a big deal to you?"
"Elder? What's wrong with being an elder? I'm an elder of Uchiha, not an elder of Konoha. How can I help you with something like this? People will gossip about me abusing my power..."
The old man complained with a headache on his face.
"You talk too much. Are you going to help me or not?"
Uchiha Junko was already impatient!
"..."
"No help!"
"Okay, if you don't help me, I won't come to work tomorrow. Then you'll have a chance to beg me for help." Uchiha Junko sneered and threatened directly.
"You girl... why do you always pick on grandpa?" The old man was so angry that his teeth ached.
At this moment, Uchiha Renjiro said seriously:
"Jōnin, this will not be the end for me."
End of the chapter.
