"Naruto, you'll be going to the Ninja Academy in another six months. How does that feel? Are you excited?" Minato returned home, watching Naruto devour his food, and couldn't help but worry about his future. After all, the Ninja Academy was a period everyone had to go through, the only question was the length of time.

  "Dad, will there be ramen at the Ninja Academy?" Naruto asked, his words muffled as he eagerly shoveled rice into his mouth.

  "Ramen, huh…"

  "What do you mean 'ramen'? That's unhealthy. Mom will make your lunches from now on!" Kushina couldn't wait for Minato to speak, immediately asserting her strong maternal instincts.

  "Okay," Naruto said, knowing he'd get scolded by his mom if he said anything more, so he kept quiet. A simir scene was also unfolding in the Uchiha cn leader's home.

  "Sasuke, you'll be able to go to the Ninja Academy in another six months. Are you even a little bit excited?" Itachi was as gentle as ever, and in front of Itachi, Sasuke was also unusually docile.

  "Yeah! I've been training with Haru and learned so much. I'll definitely bring honor to the cn at the Ninja Academy!" Even at a young age, Sasuke knew the pride of the Uchiha and understood that his efforts were to bring glory to his family.

  "Haha, good, good, as expected of my son," Fugaku said, ughing as he looked at Sasuke. He had seen Sasuke's performance clearly in the crystal ball, along with the Fourth and Third Hokage. Naturally, he also knew that his mere five-year-old son had mastered a C-rank Fire Release technique so skillfully. Chakra capacity would naturally increase with age and training, so the fact that there were only two fireballs wasn't an issue in Fugaku's eyes. He was more concerned with control.

  Sasuke looked proudly at his father, the current Uchiha cn leader. "Dad, I can use the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique now!"

  Of course, he didn't know that his father understood his situation even better than he did.

  "Is that so? That's really good, keep up the good work."

  "Yeah! Will big brother train with me?" Saying this, Sasuke couldn't forget to ask Itachi to train with him. He could never forget his older brother's shuriken techniques. That skillful handling was something Sasuke had admired since he first saw it as a child, and he had always coveted it, wanting to learn such skills one day.

  "Sasuke, come here."

  "Okay! Ow, that hurt!" Sasuke excitedly ran over at his brother's words, and then received his brother's "affection": the usual finger-poke to the forehead.

  "Forgive me, Sasuke. Big brother has a mission tomorrow and needs to rest early. Next time," Itachi said, smiling at Sasuke's pouting face.

  "You can go train your chakra yourself. You need to start preparing for the academy," Sasuke's mother, Mikoto Uchiha, said with a smile as she watched the brothers, her voice equally gentle towards Sasuke. "Leave your brother alone, he's a busy man."

  "Okay, then I'll go train." Saying this, Sasuke disappointedly shuffled towards his room, unconsciously muttering like Naruto, "Big brother's a liar…"

  But in another home, the scene was quite different.

  "Little Haru, in another six months, it will be your age to enter the academy."

  "Yes, Grandpa. What will they teach at the school?" As usual, Haru took the initiative to ask. He was always eager to explore the future and had learned a lot from the Third Hokage.

  "Haha, Haru, you're so eager," the Third Hokage said with a kind smile, his face full of wrinkles that seemed to make him look even younger when he ughed.

  Indeed, Haru was like his hope. He hoped to use Haru's achievements to prove that he was still sharp!

  "Grandpa?" Haru asked softly, looking up.

  "Hmm? Oh, yes. At the school, they will teach you the rules of being a ninja, morality, and some useful strategies. These are all very important, Haru, you must listen carefully in css." The Third Hokage's momentary absentmindedness was caught by Haru. However, the Third Hokage snapped back to attention at Haru's call and focused on answering Haru's question.

  "No, no, I meant combat skills, Grandpa," Haru corrected slightly anxiously. He didn't have the patience to properly understand these theoretical knowledge, although mastering them would be a piece of cake for him. However, what he cared about was ninjutsu.

  "Oh, you mean ninjutsu. At the school, they will only teach you three E-rank ninjutsu, but these are very practical ninjutsu on the battlefield."

  "E-rank ninjutsu? What exactly are they? If they're useful, then they must have practical applications," Haru concluded after a moment of thought.

  "That's right. These three ninjutsu are also known as the Three Body Flicker Techniques. They are the Clone Technique, the Transformation Technique, and the Body Repcement Technique. You need to know that these can be extremely effective in different situations," the Third Hokage said, expining the school's curriculum. However, before he could eborate, Haru independently figured out the uses of these three techniques.

  "Hmm, so the Clone Technique can be used to lure enemies during combat, the Transformation Technique can be used for reconnaissance, and the Body Repcement Technique is for saving your life. But, Grandpa, what's the difference between the Clone Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique?" Haru said to himself as if musing, and also directly asked the key point.

  "Haha, you noticed. Well, the Shadow Clone Technique I taught you before is a type of A-rank ninjutsu. The clones summoned by the Shadow Clone Technique have substance and can attack. The Clone Technique is more like an illusion, summoning a phantom image that doesn't have offensive or defensive capabilities," the Third Hokage expined carefully, afraid that his only disciple might be misled by him, thus losing the opportunity to stand at the top of the ninja world.

  However, this was just unnecessary worry.

  Haru's talent went far beyond just his intellect.

  And it wasn't limited to just ninjutsu.

  "I understand. Then I'll go train first. I believe there will definitely be many children stronger than me at the school!" After learning this information, Haru was eager to go train. Having grown up alone, except for the Third Hokage, he hadn't had close contact with other adults, so he naturally didn't know the situation in the vilge.

  However, as a child with a strong sense of crisis, he naturally believed that training was the most important thing.

  "Ha…" Before the Third Hokage could stop Haru, he had already run out. "Sigh, among the peers in the vilge, who could possibly be a match for little Haru? But this child, I hope he doesn't overtrain himself. He's still just a child." The Third Hokage watched as he couldn't catch up and could only stand in the house with a wry smile. Naturally, among his peers, there would be no match for Haru. Not to mention Haru, even Naruto, whom Haru could defeat with a few moves, had few rivals in the vilge.

  "Looking at it this way, putting Haru with other children might not be very effective anymore. I need to discuss this with Minato!" The Third Hokage thought to himself. He had to create the best conditions for little Haru, the kind of conditions that truly befit a genius. Stroking his rge beard, he packed a new pinch of tobacco into his pipe and slowly strolled out of Haru's house, heading towards Minato's nearby residence.

  Naruto was staring bnkly at his father's kunai, that peculiar kunai that he had only seen by his father's side.

  Knock, knock, knock.

  A series of knocks came from the door, and Naruto, who was lying on the dining table, immediately jumped up. In his mind, the only people who would come to their house were Haru or Sasuke. And regardless of who it was, Naruto was very eager to py with them.

  However, this time he would be disappointed.

  "Cough, cough, ptooey. Why is there so much smoke? Huh? Old grandpa, who are you?"

  Naruto, rushing to open the door, bumped into a rge cloud of smoke.

  "Oh, little Naruto has grown so big," the old grandpa outside the door said with a kind smile. Naruto stared at the big beard for a long time, squinting and tilting his head, but he still couldn't remember who this person was.

  This was natural. After the Nine-Tails incident five years ago, the Third Hokage had disappeared from the vilgers' sight as if he had gone into seclusion. He had retired. And Naruto naturally hadn't seen such a seemingly unhealthy old grandpa.

  "Naruto! Don't be rude, quickly invite Grandpa in. This is the Third Hokage-sama," Kushina said, hearing Naruto's shout and poking her head out to see. She then recognized the Third Hokage from his signature beard and hair.

  "Ha, Kushina. Are you recovering well? I've come to see Minato," the Third Hokage said after a very brief greeting, then looked for the Fourth Hokage.

  "I'm here, I'm here!" Minato, hearing the Third Hokage's voice, directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique, appearing above the kunai Naruto had just been staring at. "What's wrong, Third Hokage-sama, coming all the way here yourself?"

  "Haha, it's nothing major, just about this year's Ninja Academy," the Third Hokage said with his usual smile, but also getting straight to the point.

  "Grandpa! I'm going to the Ninja Academy soon too! I'm really strong!" Naruto, still unfamiliar with the Third Hokage, hopped up and down in front of him, desperately showing off.

  "Alright, Naruto. Why don't you go py by yourself first? Dad has serious business to discuss," Minato said, turning back and pressing down on the restless Naruto, then sending him to his own room. Kushina, understanding the intention, followed Naruto back to his room.

  "Third Hokage-sama, are you talking about Haru?" Minato asked, stating his guess after the two had left.

  "Indeed, but in my opinion, Sasuke from the Uchiha cn and your child also need a special kind of treatment. An ordinary Ninja Academy would be stifling their talents," the Third Hokage said meaningfully, slowly, yet with a palpable sense of pressure.

  "Is that so? But your meaning is that all three of them still need to attend school, but the content will be different, right?" After a moment of thought, Minato felt that this was feasible.

  "Yes, simirly, the duration of their schooling will also be shortened, allowing them to develop themselves more effectively."

  "However, Third Hokage-sama, this isn't the warring states era anymore. Such forced growth will not only harm their bodies, but if other vilges find out, it will also cause significant problems," Minato said, very concerned about what the Otsutsuki had said five years ago. Before Haru grew up, they absolutely couldn't provoke a war. It wasn't out of fear of the enemy, but out of concern that the Otsutsuki would really destroy the world.

  "Haha, you worry too much about that. I don't have the same impulsiveness I did back then; there won't be such a harsh pn. I'm just preparing to create a special css for them at the Ninja Academy so they can learn more ninjutsu knowledge. As for other theories, I believe they can learn them well in a short time. Of course, the shortening will only be for two years. Letting them become genin a little earlier isn't necessarily a bad thing," the Third Hokage stated his pn, naturally hoping Minato would agree.

  "Alright, Third Hokage-sama. I will arrange such a css, starting with these three. However, who do you think would be suitable to be the supervising instructor for this css?" Minato thought for a moment, feeling that this was a good opportunity and might y the foundation for significant combat power in the future, so he agreed with the Third Hokage.

  "Hmm, Hatake Kakashi."
