Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 2: Partners, Classmates, and Family

Two days later, on July 28.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, came to the Ninja Academy to make final preparations for the start of the school year. He happened to see Taichi and Guy sweating profusely and then asked the teacher about the two of them.

What a hardworking junior! With a junior like him, Konoha's future is sure to be bright!

The next day, Might Guy's name appeared on the Ninja Academy's bulletin board.

"Kai, congratulations! Hard work always pays off," Taiyi said sincerely.

He knew that this year's class couldn't be without Might Guy; the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, must have seen Guy's performance later and added him to the roster.

"Thank you, Taiichi," Kai said happily. His hard work had finally paid off, and that made him happier than anything else.

"Let's keep trying! Today we'll run 800 laps around the school. If we can't finish, we'll do 800 handstand laps."

4 month 1 day.

More than 300 five- or six-year-old children gathered on the playground of the ninja academy, where the Third Hokage stood on the platform and enthusiastically preached the "Will of Fire".

Do not underestimate the influence of the "Will of Fire." Although this spirit is rather hollow, and the higher-ups who promote it sometimes lead the way in reckless behavior, the Will of Fire is indeed suitable for the current situation of the Land of Fire and Konoha Village.

Taiyi doesn't look down on the Will of Fire, but he doesn't believe in it either. It can be very useful when necessary.

Compared to Taiichi, who has lived two lives, the common people of the Land of Fire, whose level of education is basically zero, and the Konoha ninjas, who are focused on fighting, are very well suited to the Will of Fire. The just-right spiritual encouragement and the simple and easy-to-understand logic are one of the important reasons why Konoha surpasses the other four great ninja villages.

"Wherever leaves dance in the air, the fire will never die out. The flames will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout." The passionate Third Hokage concluded his speech.

The new students and ninjas responded with enthusiastic applause, and the opening ceremony came to an end.

Classes officially start tomorrow. Matsushita Taichi and Might Guy walked home arm in arm, when they saw Uchiha Obito panting heavily on the way. Sure enough, he was late again.

Kakashi stopped and glanced sideways at Obito. "Someone who can even be late for the opening ceremony..."

Obito Uchiha turned around angrily, knowing it was Kakashi, who could still make sarcastic remarks at a time like this.

Taiyi also stopped and turned around to watch the good show.

Back in the day, Obito Uchiha was the brightest star among his friends, until Kakashi appeared and stole all the limelight, especially from Rin. Sure enough, seeing Rin looking at Kakashi again, Obito was even more furious.

No wonder Obito immediately awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan upon seeing Rin's death; it seems he was already thinking about Nohara Rin at such a young age.

Indeed, Obito, Rin, and Kakashi were already familiar playmates before they enrolled in school, unlike Tai, who had lived in an orphanage the whole time and only knew Might Guy.

"Here, this is for you."

Rin Nohara handed Obito a file folder, saying, "I knew you'd be late, so I've prepared everything for you."

"ha?"

Obito Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then happily took the file bag. "It's you again, Rin. Thank you so much. I was so worried about you. If it weren't for you, Grandma would have scolded me again when I got back."

……

What a beautiful scene! I hope they cherish this moment.

Matsushita Taichi sighed inwardly, then patted Kai on the shoulder, "Let's go!"

"What, Taiichi, do you know them?" Kaiya turned around and glanced back.

"I guess we know each other. That white-haired guy is the son of the famous White Fang of Konoha."

"I see. It seems we have one more competitor now."

"There's more than one; there are quite a few good competitors in our year. I need to work even harder."

"Of course! How about we have a race to see who gets to your house first?"

"Okay." After saying that, the two rushed out quickly.

……

When the two returned to Taichi's new home, the house, which had been uninhabited for a long time, had been cleaned by Nonou and several older orphans. Surprisingly, Might Guy also came to help with the cleaning. Usually, Guy is busy taking on missions, after all, he is still a genin and has to support two taijutsu ninjas, so he can't afford to be lazy.

Looking at the room, completely refreshed since they took possession yesterday, Taiichi stepped forward and took Nonou's hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Nonou-neechan!" Turning to everyone, he added, "And everyone, stay for dinner today, no running away!"

"Yay! We can taste Taiyi's cooking again!" The kids were excited. Taiyi's cooking skills were honed through two lifetimes. If cooking skills had levels, he would be at least Lv20.

"Uncle Dai, why don't you stay and try my cooking? I guarantee you won't regret it."

Might Guy, who had originally planned to leave after helping out, stopped in his tracks, flashed his bright white teeth, and said with a smile, "Oh, thank you so much, Taichi! I'll stay and enjoy your cooking today!"

"Haha, everyone wait a moment, I'll go cook right away." After saying that, Taiichi walked straight to the kitchen. He had bought the ingredients after finishing his training early in the morning. Knowing that Nonoyu would be bringing people to help today, he bought a lot more, otherwise it really wouldn't be enough for so many people.

"Let me tell you, Taiichi's cooking skills are the best in the entire Hidden Leaf Village. You'll see when you try it!" a little kid said exaggeratedly.

"Really!" Kai's eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't hear Taiichi mention this!"

……

An hour later, looking at the various dishes on the table, each one more appealing in color, aroma, and taste than typical Japanese cuisine, Kai and Dai were dumbfounded. Could these really have been made in such a short time?

"See? I wasn't lying to you!"

"Don't listen to these kids' nonsense, Uncle Dai, Kai, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Okay, let's start eating!" The two clasped their hands together, then picked up the food in front of them and put it in their mouths. Immediately, tears streamed down their faces like a waterfall. "It's so delicious!"

"Haha, I knew this would happen," the kid laughed exaggeratedly again.

"Eat up, even food can't shut you up. Look at everyone, if you don't eat now, there won't be any left."

"Hey, you guys are so disloyal! Why didn't you wait for me?" she said, joining the scramble for food.

Only Nono watched the lively scene from the side, eating slowly by herself, a faint smile occasionally appearing on her lips.

……

After the sumptuous lunch and cleaning up, Might Guy and Might Guy took their leave first. Then Taichi also saw Nonou and her friends to the door.

"Don't worry, Nono-neechan, I can take care of myself. Besides, you can come to see me often."

Taiichi spoke to Nono, who was constantly telling him various precautions.

Nonou smiled and nodded. "I believe you, but if you encounter any difficulties, you must come back to the orphanage and tell me. The orphanage will always be your home, remember?"

"Yes, I will!" Taiichi nodded solemnly.

Nonou took out a notebook she had prepared earlier and handed it to Taichi. "These are my notes from years of practicing medical ninjutsu. You can try practicing them after you develop chakra. If you don't understand anything, you can come back and ask me. This is a housewarming gift for you."

Taichi took the notebook, happily put his arm around Nonou's waist, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, thank you so much, sister!"

Nonou patted Taichi's head and said, "From today onwards, Taichi is a little adult. He can stand on his own now. Good luck!"

"Um……"

Taiichi released Nono and watched her and her friends slowly walk away until they disappeared from sight.

Thinking about Nono's future, Nono is only in her early twenties now, and it is estimated that she will die in at least 10 years.

10 years!

Matsushita Taichi withdrew his gaze, turned around and went back to his room. "I must become a Jonin, or even a Kage, within these 10 years, otherwise I will not be able to protect Nonou and everyone at the orphanage."

Of course, the best way is to find an opportunity to get rid of Danzo. So many tragedies in Konoha are caused by this guy behind the scenes.

There will be opportunities. During the Third Shinobi World War, this guy was frequently on missions. If he's strong enough, killing Danzo isn't impossible. The key is having the strength.

Composing himself, Taiyi took his notebook and headed to the study.
