"But we've never accepted a child like this before.
Sometimes, giving up is a good choice for the child.
There are 360 professions in the world, and every profession can produce an expert…" The teacher clearly didn't want to accept him into the ninja academy.
Hearing this, the Third Hokage and Danzo approached.
"What's going on?"
Didn't he know what was going on?
This sentence was clearly meant to draw a line, to make it clear to everyone that they wouldn't plead for a child with no use to them.
Hyuga Lanmo's fingers clenched into a fist.
Should he release some chakra?
But if he released chakra, it would mean he was giving in to the school.
It's just a ninja academy, right? If he can't get in, he can't go.
He doesn't necessarily want to be a Konoha ninja.
Thinking this, Hyuga Lanmo's fingers gradually loosened.
The teacher in charge of registration, seeing the Third Hokage and Danzo asking questions, quickly stood up and bowed: "Sir, look at this child's eyes!"
At this moment, Hyuga Lanmo's eyes were open, his pupils unfocused.
The Third Hokage knew this; if he had just said it, he would have known it was alright, and he could have gotten in.
The Third Hokage remained silent, but Danzo spoke up, "How about this?
Didn't Shizune say this child can already condense chakra?
I'll investigate.
If that's true, he should not only enter the academy, but if he shows promise, we should nurture him.
Of course, if not, then we'll discuss it further.
What do you say, Hyuga Aimo?"
Clearly, these two old foxes had already planned this.
What?
He could choose not to join Root?
To join the Third Hokage's Anbu?
If he were chosen today, he wouldn't have a choice at all.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, they were trying to put him in a difficult position.
In front of everyone, he could condense chakra at six years old.
The Hokage, under the guise of protecting the village, wanted him to join Root.
If he objected, he would be going against the entire village.
If he agreed, it would silence Tsunade, and Danzo could take him away legitimately.
Then, even if he possessed extraordinary ninjutsu, if he objected, he would only be a rogue ninja.
A rogue ninja at six?
That seems a bit too early.
Thinking of this, Hyuga Lanmo actually laughed: "Alright!"
He stretched out his arm, and Danzo frowned slightly, grabbing his arm.
His gaze deepened as he began to examine Lanmo's entire body.
His eyes were like those of a desert scorpion, sinister and ruthless.
If they were in a laboratory, he probably would have wanted to dismember him for research. After examining him for a while, Danzo's frown deepened.
Everyone watched them.
Villagers whispered, "What's wrong with that kid?
Why is the village elder personally examining him? Is he very powerful?"
"I don't know.
A child abandoned by the Hyuga clan, and blind at that?
What's so powerful about him?
He's probably not suited for the ninja academy."
Hearing this, the Hyuga clan members lowered their heads slightly.
Indeed, no one in their clan cared about Hyuga Lanmo.
But what was the point of him going to the ninja academy with his eyes like that?
Wasn't that just bringing shame to the Hyuga clan?
Although everyone was talking, it didn't affect the examination at all.
"How is it?
Does he have chakra?"
Shizune asked hopefully.
Danzo looked down at the child before him. His body was completely empty; there was no chakra at all.
Could he really just be an ordinary child?
In the past six months, he had made contact with Orochimaru and even sent several promising children to him, hoping they could act as a liaison between the two.
During their meetings, he had subtly inquired about Hyuga Ranmo, but Orochimaru claimed he didn't know anyone.
Was he genuinely trying to cover it up or did he truly not know?
But now, based on his investigation, the child was indeed just an ordinary child.
Danzo shook his head.
"Nothing at all!"
"How is that possible?
Lady Tsunade personally checked him six months ago; he already had chakra then!"
Shizune exclaimed in disbelief.
"Has it disappeared due to neglect of training these past six months?
Diligence is key; one cannot be lazy!" the Third Hokage said.
Hearing this, Shizune felt guilty.
For the past six months, she and Lady Tsunade had been busy with missions and had neglected him.
If he hadn't trained, it was normal for his chakra to disappear.
She sighed softly, "My lords, please take this child in.
Although he can't see during the day, he can see at night..."
"No, since he's an ordinary child and has a disability, for his own good, the Ninja Academy can't accept him!"
Danzo said somewhat vengefully, "Third Hokage, for this child's safety, I feel it's best if he doesn't pursue the path of a ninja.
He's not suited to be a ninja!"
The Third Hokage's eyes were conflicted upon hearing this.
He too was considering whether or not to accept Hyuga Ranmo.
"Forget it, if they don't want him, they don't want him.
I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it anyway.
I'm going home!"
Didn't they say they didn't want him?
He didn't want them either!
He looked down on the Ninja Academy's stuff.
If it weren't for his young age and his desire for a couple of years of peace, he wouldn't have enrolled.
"Wait!
Slow down... wait..."
Suddenly, from the direction of the street corner, a strong figure rushed over with a "thump-thump.
" This person was tall, wearing wooden clogs, a gray robe and red vest, with snow-white long hair.
It was none other than Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Sannin.
His exaggerated and comical running style, drenched in sweat, brought him up, panting heavily, and he asked, "I...I'm not late, am I?
Um, I think this kid is alright!"
Jiraiya bent down and hugged Hyuga Aimo tightly.
"If the Ninja Academy doesn't want him, I'll take him as my disciple.
You don't have any objections, right?
Of course, even if you do, it won't matter.
I've already taken a liking to this kid!"
After saying that, he began to carefully examine Hyuga Aimo.
"Wow, what a cute kid!"
As he spoke, he actually lowered his head and began rubbing his grinning face against Hyuga Lanmo. "By the way, little guy, I'll be staying at your place tonight!"
Shizune clapped her hands and cheered when she saw this: "So it's Mr. Jiraiya!
That's great! I knew it! Lanmo is very talented, but you just didn't believe me.
Did Lady Tsunade say something to you?
That's wonderful!"
With Mr. Jiraiya's appearance, Hyuga Lanmo's enrollment in the academy was a done deal.
This was the man who had trained the Fourth Hokage.
When he spoke, everyone gave him face.
Besides, he said he would personally train Hyuga Lanmo, which changed the situation and his position.
