The early morning light shines on Konoha. In the Academy, groups of ninja students have just finished exercising on the playground and are returning to class. At this moment, these young ninja students who have just been trained are talking excitedly.
"Have you heard? It is said that our group of ninja students will be graduating soon!"
"I heard that the situation on the front line has not been very good. It seems it is time for us to go to the battlefield too!"
"Battlefield! That's very dangerous!"
"What are you afraid of? That guy Kakashi graduated and entered the battlefield at five, and now he's already a Chunin!"
Looking at the group of ninja students talking animatedly, filled with excitement and longing, one ninja student who appeared quite mature couldn't help but pout.
'I thought that if you go to the battlefield, you can make achievements and build a career. Except for those with connections, the danger of going to the battlefield is slightly less. For us without connections, aren't we all just cannon fodder when we go there?'
Of course, he definitely wouldn't voice such thoughts. Anyone who has read the original manga knows what the village is like. Here, speaking nonsense can have dire consequences.
Although the ninja training in the Naruto world looks much better than that of the traditional ninjas, who were nearly wiped out in the past, the core has not changed much. It remains a combination of intelligence agencies and violent forces. Brainwashing and education are indispensable, and the demands for loyalty are even more severe.
Therefore, seeing his excited classmates ready to go to the battlefield, Shin could only complain quietly to himself, refraining from saying anything else. As a civilian orphan who came from another world, Shin has developed his own mature worldview. Born as Shin Kaizen in this life, he has spent ten years in the Konoha. He has not been assimilated by the environment or brainwashed into becoming an ordinary ninja in the Naruto world.
Right now, he was just worried about the reality of going to the battlefield.
'Speaking of which, Konoha doesn't even pretend to be pretentious anymore? They directly asked us to graduate two years early. It seems that the situation on the front line is really bad, and I have to make plans earlier.'
Although Shin's talent is not very high, only ordinary, his self-discipline and mental maturity far surpass those of typical ninja students. He ranks among the top in the Academy, so his strength reached the graduation standard two years ago.
He can use the three-body technique in actual combat, and his shurikenjutsu accuracy is 90%. He is skilled in using traps, explosive tags, and various forms of Taijutsu—this is the so-called graduation standard of the academy.
This standard is primarily screening for cannon fodder. Except for some clan decendants, civilian students cannot learn higher-level ninjutsu here. They end up being mere fodders who lay traps and delay time.
Unless one possesses extraordinary talent and gains the attention of higher-ups—just like Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato Namikaze—or somehow turns their life around? 'Let's not kid ourselves; real life is harsh!
Even geniuses like Minato and Orochimaru, despite reaching the ceiling of civilian potential, have no further resources based solely on the academy education method. In the end, they cannot achieve great success alone.
This was originally how senior ninjas and major families kept civilian ninjas under their control. For the senior members of the ninja village, civilian ninjas must rely on them and risk their lives to grow stronger. For the major families, except for a few true geniuses, civilian ninjas generally pose little threat to their status.
Shin is not exactly a standard civilian ninja. His father, who died, was a medical Chunin. Although he sacrificed himself, he left Shin with a good legacy, a substantial pension, some ninja training tips, and medical ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, learning medical ninjutsu is not easy. There are high requirements for chakra control, changes in the nature of the yang chakra, and medical knowledge. As a result, Shin has only learned one hemostatic technique until now.
The most difficult aspect of these challenges is the change in the nature of the yang chakra. There is no shortcut; improvement requires using the yang chakra to heal.
The saddest thing is that perhaps the change like yang chakra you work on your entire life may not compare to the innate talent of a talented child.
Like Tsunade, whose control of the yang chakra has been great since birth. Even if Shin lived to be 100 years old without eating or drinking daily while training the nature change of yang chakra, he still wouldn't compare to her innate yang chakra purity.
Just then, Shin had entered the classroom and sat down, lost in thought, when he heard hurried footsteps. A Chunin teacher walked into the classroom.
"Students, you must already know the village's decision," the gray-haired ninja, who was blind in one eye, glanced at the students in the class. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes as he continued seriously, "Starting today, all fourth-grade ninja students will graduate directly and be granted the qualification of Genin."
"Other ninja students can also take the graduation assessment directly if they feel confident!"
"Of course, the village is now at war with other ninja villages. A newly graduated Genin may be sent on dangerous missions, possibly even to the battlefield. So please think carefully about graduating early."
At the end of the announcement, the ninja teacher couldn't help but express his concern. Over the years, he had seen many students leave with excitement only to return in misery, and in some cases, not return at all.
His students are not in the elite class; even the teachers leading the teams are ordinary Chunins. The danger they face is much greater than that of the elite classes led by Jonin.
"Sure enough," Shin sighed softly and muttered, "the village has truly forced us to graduate.
In another two years, Shin was sure to learn a higher level of medical jutsu; he could directly apply to become a medical ninja, ensuring much greater safety than being on the front lines.
Although Tsunade had once proposed adding a medical ninja to the standard three-person team, he thought, 'How could so many individuals understand medical ninjutsu in Konoha?'
Even until the finale of Naruto, most three-person teams lacked medical ninjas. Such a proposal is ultimately unrealistic.
Unless it is an elite team that genuinely nurtures a Jonin, there will be real elite medical ninja prospects who understand medical ninjutsu and possess decent combat abilities.
As for the general medical ninjas, they all sit directly in the rear camps. Even if something goes wrong on the front line, this group of medical ninjas is the first to retreat. Their safety is naturally far better than that of the ninjas fighting on the front lines.
Unfortunately, Shin's dreams have been completely shattered. He cannot join the ranks of medical ninjas simply by knowing a hemostatic technique; he can only continue to serve as cannon fodder.
"So..." Shin closed his eyes and looked at the system in his mind.
[The charge is complete; you can now travel to the next world].
"...I'd better escape from Konoha as soon as possible."
