[POV: 3rd Person]
[Scene: Hokage Office]
[Track Change: Naruto 'Oh! Student and Teacher Affection']
Everyone was surprised by Renjiro's proposal, but they were even more shocked when Asriel proposed Hiruzen the Third Hokage should continue teaching the current and next generation. The idea of a lecture hall was novel in this world, but it made sense. Genin aren't always able to be guided by Jonin team leaders, most are led by experienced Chunin or Special Jonin. Even then, a team leader could possess a different Chakra nature than them, making learning Ninjutsu from them difficult to nearly impossible. Having the ability to attend lectures on topics they need to learn would allow them to continue growing while still remaining in their teams. And if they could end up getting personal advice from a former Hokage, who wouldn't be excited?
Renjiro's thoughts on how accelerated the Academy was, were thought of again, with the availability of lectures, even graduates who didn't understand some key concepts were able to get a targeted lesson in that skill from a high-level ninja. A luxury for those with either short attention spans or those wanting to patch up holes in their skills.
Shikaku Nara was the first to speak,
"This is an idea with lots of potential, I know personally due to our clan's unique personalities that a lot of students understand some things more than others, some are great at the [Clone Jutsu] while others are better at [Substitution Jutsu] and struggle to learn the other techniques. Us Nara are definitely the 'As long as we pass' kind of people, and while we are a clan, struggling Nara students don't ask for advice from other Nara clan members on other non-clan techniques, most instead just learn our clan's Secret Techniques, neglecting their foundations. I assume a similar situation plagues many of our clans, students obsessed with Secret Techniques and flashy Ninjutsu, while forgetting the simple or basic jutsu.
For example, Uchiha Shisui the Chunin, who despite his access to the Uchiha clan's formidable [Fire Release] Ninjutsu, decided to strengthen his foundational techniques. Mastering the E-rank [Clone Jutsu] and D-rank [Body Flicker Technique] while leveraging the Uchiha Sharingan's intrinsic Genjutsu ability was able to become a formidable force in the Third Ninja War. While he shouldn't be the standard, he should be seen as a lit-up path, a path that many can begin walking before they start on their own. This Academy Lecture Hall allows all ninja not only the ability to specialize but also gives ninja an opportunity to stabilize their foundations and grow beyond their clan's Secret Techniques."
Choza while understanding Shikaku, spoke without thinking,
"An Inuzuka being able to learn Genjutsu, A Hyuga learning Medical Ninjutsu, an Akimichi learning Sealing, despite our Secret Techniques these are not our sole identity, this will be interesting!"
