Ninja World Live Stream: Was the Sixth Hokage really that powerful?

"Don't think there are few openings in the undergraduate program; the main problem is that there are very few people in the undergraduate program. There are only six people this year. When will there be ten? Sigh~" Iruka sighed. The undergraduate program has only been open for less than a year and isn't particularly popular yet.

[Getting into university is too hard, I gave up]

[Undergraduate programs are for training researchers; someone like me should probably skip them.]

[My neighbor took the exam three times before finally passing; I really admire him.]

[You know what, although it's hard to get in, the benefits at the undergraduate level are really good.]

"Yes, if you get into the university program, you can receive a scholarship every month," Iruka explained, counting on his fingers as he introduced the university benefits.

"This scholarship is awarded to anyone who gets accepted; there are no additional conditions. It's essentially like having your studies at public expense. In addition to the scholarship, there are also financial aid available. If your family is facing financial difficulties, you can apply."

"There are also annual scholarships for outstanding students, which can be obtained as long as one's grades are among the best or one has made outstanding contributions elsewhere."

[I just want to know how much it is?]

[As a current university student, I'm telling you, the monthly scholarship is 20 taels.]

Nara Shikaku's pupils contracted sharply. "20 taels?!"

A scholarship of 20 taels of silver every month? That's amazing! I want to go to university too!

No need to do tasks, no need to suffer harm, just sit in school and attend classes every day to earn money, is there really such a good thing?

Not only Shikaku, but all the other ninjas gasped in shock, their eyes turning into money symbols.

That's 20 taels! Although you can accumulate that much quickly by doing missions, don't forget that missions can cause injuries. If you get hurt, the mission rewards won't even cover your medical expenses.

You also have to pay for your own travel expenses. Compared to that, you can get a free education while studying at school, which is like paradise.

Naruto clutched his flat little frog wallet and wept. 20 ryo? When would he ever save that much money? He hadn't accepted a single mission since that screen appeared.

The money is almost all gone, sob sob sob, he also wants a stable income every month.

[Holy crap, 20 taels? Isn't that the reward for a B-rank mission?]

[Is the person upstairs a retired ninja? The mission rewards have been updated. A C-rank mission now costs 20 taels, while a B-rank mission costs around 50 to 100 taels.]

[After all, it's a life-or-death situation; very few ninjas take on these missions anymore.]

Shikaku stared wide-eyed in disbelief. The rewards for future missions had skyrocketed so dramatically?

50 to 100 taels would be roughly equivalent to an A-level mission today. No, an A-level mission today starts at 15 taels and goes up to 100 taels.

Is it inflation? Or will the concept of ninja mission levels be different in the future?

Tobirama's gaze was fixed on the phrase "few ninjas take on missions." Combining this with the information he had previously gathered, he realized that the future role of ninjas had likely undergone a dramatic change.

It's good that you can earn money without relying on missions, as ninjas won't suffer too many casualties.

I wonder what it would be like for a ninja to work for an ordinary person's company. If this continues, will the ninja profession slowly disappear?

He frowned slightly, thinking about countless things about the future.

. . . . . .

Confined to their own house to live out their old age, Mitokado Enoki and Utatane Koharu blushed with anger. "20 taels?"

"Has Kakashi Hatake gone mad? Spending so much money to support students?" There are a total of 6 students in the university department, which means that Konoha Village has to spend 120 million ryo per month, which is 1440 million ryo per year.

How rich is Konoha? They let him squander like this!

Besides, what's the use of a ninja reading so many books? In the end, they still have to risk their lives on the battlefield. If they read too many books, they'll neglect their training and become easy targets for assassination during missions.

Or is it that what they learn in university gives ninjas a strong ability to protect themselves?!

These two couldn't figure out why the Hokage would spend so much money to support a group of students.

Take the ninja schools nowadays, for example. They don't require much funding; everything is borne by the ninjas themselves.

. . . . . .

(Hashirama Senju: Wow, Tobirama, Kakashi is better than you. His school is better than yours.)

(Tobirama Senju: Indeed, even I have to admit that the future of education is developing very well.)

Think back to when he first started the school, how many people in the village objected? Especially the big families, whose opposition was even more intense.

Later, he developed many ninjutsu techniques and put them into the school, which allowed the school to barely get started.

At first, the families were reluctant to send their children to school.

Unexpectedly, in the future, Konoha School will not only have a middle school and a university, but students will also be able to earn money while studying.

With such benefits, how could we possibly have trouble attracting students in the future?

I'm afraid he can't afford that much money.

(Kakashi Hatake: No, no, no, although I'm not talking about me, I still have to refute it. If the Konoha schools fight again in the future, they will be built on the foundation of the Second Hokage's school. Without the Second Hokage's pioneering work, how could there be any later schools?)

(Sakumo Hatake: Kakashi, you've grown remarkably.)

The sudden appearance of the name made Kakashi's fingertips pause abruptly, and his body stiffened, as if he had been frozen in place.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled, his crescent-shaped eyes curving upwards, and looked at his long-lost father with a relieved expression.

(Kakashi Hatake: Dad, I'm not as good as I will be in the future, but I will work hard. After all, you have always been my idol and my goal, so I want to become an excellent ninja like you.)

He didn't ask his father why he committed suicide, whether he regretted it, or whether he was victimized by a conspiracy.

He didn't say whether he thought it was right or wrong, he just said that his father was his role model.

It's been like this since I was very young, and it still is now.

Even though he had some misunderstandings and resentments when he was a child, none of that matters now. His father has always been the best ninja in his heart, and that's enough.

(Sakumo Hatake: Kakashi... if there's a chance, could you tell me about what's happened over the years?)

(Kakashi Hatake: Yes, of course.)

Chiyo stared at the name "Sunagakure" with a sudden, fierce killing intent flashing in her previously blank eyes. "Damn White Fang!"

Unfortunately, the person was already dead, and she couldn't even take revenge herself.

Then his gaze was fixed on the name Kakashi Hatake, and after a long while he snorted coldly and looked away.

"So this is Kakashi-sensei's dad. How nice..." Naruto's eyes revealed envy. He also wanted to talk to his parents.

The worst part is, he just can't seem to learn how to use on-screen text input! Hmph!

(Minato Namikaze: Kakashi has always been excellent. It's a pity I'm not in the Pure Land, otherwise I could talk to Sakumo-san about Kakashi.)

(Kushina Uzumaki: I couldn't find Sakumo even in the Pure Land.)

(Sakumo Hatake: Haha, I'm not in the Pure Land.)

(Uchiha Madara: The dead don't go to the Pure Land? Where else can they go?) Are there other worlds? Or is this guy faking his death?

(Hashirama Senju: Could it be that he's caught between reality and the Pure Land? I think I've heard of people doing that.)

(Sakumo Hatake: It's me. I'm waiting here for Kakashi. I want to see him one more time, but if possible, I hope he can come a little later.)

His eyes widened suddenly, his pupils constricted, and tears streamed down his face. Kakashi quickly lowered his head to hide it, even though he hadn't shed a tear in so many years.

He thought he had lost the ability to cry.

The soreness in my nose was still so obvious, and images of me as a child, lying on my father's back, carefree as I wandered through the streets and alleys, all came to mind.

The time his father was with him was probably the most pleasant time of his life.

After his father passed away, the heavy burden he carried on his back made him feel that simply living was already an unbearable thing.

After Obito, Rin, and their teacher and his wife all died one after another, living became even more agonizing.

Seeing my father's words, I was suddenly struck by a thought. These words would make me want to go to the Pure Land sooner, Dad...

Chapter 48: More than 3,000 students in the primary school, and even a car for transportation!

(Rin Nohara: Could it be that Obito is also waiting for Kakashi?)

She couldn't find the soil even after entering the Pure Land.

(Uchiha Madara: Is it possible that he went to be reincarnated?)

Reincarnation is out of the question; that guy's still out there having a good time.

(Tobirama Senju: ...) You keep pretending, I'd like to see you keep pretending.

Obito Uchiha was definitely rescued by Madara, but he was led astray. Otherwise, how could Madara, with his personality, have covered for him?

The screen isn't always visible here at Pure Land.

Coincidentally, the posts that revealed the identity of the Uchiha war criminals were not seen by the Pure Land people.

So far, the only people who know that Obito Uchiha is not dead are a few high-ranking members of Konoha, plus Kakashi and a few members of Akatsuki.

Kakashi sat in the corner, looking up at the sky. If Obito hated him, he could have just targeted him alone. Why did he have to attack his teacher and his wife?

In that case, he wouldn't be able to say anything about bringing him back; that would be incredibly shameless.

. . . . . .

[Moegi and Udon had to leave, so Konohamaru led Iruka-sensei into the school. The afternoon livestream would be conducted by the two of them together.]

"The school has changed so much," Konohamaru thought, looking around. Almost none of the familiar buildings were left.

Iruka smiled and said, "That's normal. Konoha Academy has been expanding and landscaping for years; it changes almost every year."

A hint of nostalgia crossed his face. "But some things haven't changed. Look at this tree."

People watching from outside the screen felt a little familiar with this tree, as if they had seen it somewhere before.

Naruto shouted, "Isn't that the big tree outside the school? But why has it turned black?"

Iruka reached out and touched the trunk of a large tree. The trunk was scorched and yellowed, covered in many wounds, yet it remained intact, new buds sprouting from its branches.

"Ah, I remember! There used to be a swing hanging from this tree," Konohamaru suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "Udon and Mogi used to come here to play when we skipped school."

"Uh... skipping... no, no, I didn't skip class! Absolutely not!" Meeting Iruka-sensei's suddenly sharp gaze, he stammered, then turned away and secretly stuck out his tongue.

[Iruka-sensei is getting scarier and scarier.]

"I knew you guys skipped class a long time ago. Sometimes you'd climb out the window and then come down this tree, right?"

Upon hearing this, Konohamaru suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. How did Iruka-sensei know all this so clearly?
