Konoha Bookstore

Ryuki walked up to the podium and looked dissatisfied at Hiruzen Sarutobi saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You have finished what I said, what do you want me to say?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled coquettishly and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I'm not used to it. I have been hosting the opening ceremony alone for so many years."

Tatsuki rolled his eyes, snatched the microphone from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, and said to the freshmen in the audience: "Ahem, hello, classmates, I am the principal of the ninja school, Tatsuki Suzuki. Everyone, please call me Tatsuki. Just be the principal.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was beside Ryuki, walked down the stage silently, looked at the teacher who had just reminded him and asked: "Fujiwara, is there anything special about this year's opening ceremony?"

Yamashiro Fujiwara said doubtfully: "Hokage-sama, don't you know?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly and said, "What should I know?"

After Yamashiro Fujiwara was stunned for a moment, he regretted saying this, but explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Just a few months ago, Principal Ryuki summoned some people, including Elder Arikag and the Hyuga clan leader."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said: "You don't need to tell me who is there, tell me what they are doing together."

Yamashiro Fujiwara smiled coquettishly and said: "Hokage-sama, you are joking. How can I, an ordinary teacher, know what Principal Nagarjun and the others are discussing."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and it seemed that he had to find time to get to know the school. After all, Asuma would still be going to school here in the future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen found a random seat and finished his work. He listened to Nagarjuna's lecture on the podium: "I believe all students have heard the speech that Hokage-sama just gave to you. Hokage-sama also said everything I wanted to say. That’s it, I won’t say anything more. Now that the opening ceremony is over, students can go back to their classes.”

As soon as Nagarjuna finished speaking, various students couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly ran towards the classroom. Nagarjuna seemed to vaguely hear words like "open black".

The students all left, and the parents naturally did not stay for a long time. Nagarjuna suddenly stopped the parents and said, "Parents, please wait a moment. I have important news to tell you."

The parents also stopped and looked back at Nagarjuna in confusion.

Nagarjuna said: "From now on, every student does not have to pay tuition, it is free of charge."

As soon as Nagarjuna finished speaking, everyone in the audience started talking.

"Free, did I hear you right?"

"I seem to have heard it too. What Principal Nagarjuna said is indeed free."

"It would be great if it were true. I would never have to worry about my son's school fees again."

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen behind the stage frowned slightly and said to himself: "The income from the free ninja school is one of Konoha's main sources of income. How can it be free? What tricks does Ryuki want to do?"

Nagarjuna clapped his hands, stopped everyone's discussion, and said: "Of course, I am talking about free tuition. Tuition does not include book fees, water fees, etc."

Everyone in the audience said in disappointment: "What are you doing? You still have to pay money?"

"Oh, it's true. I knew this was a lie to us."

"Thankfully I still believe it, it's true."

Nagarjuna clapped his hands again and said, "Okay, please be quiet. I have something else to say next."

"From now on, every three years will be a school year, with kindergarten for ages three to six, primary school for ages six to nine, and middle school for ages nine to 12. Tuition fees for ages three to nine are free, and scholarships are available for ages six to 12. "

Nagarjuna spoke eloquently on the podium, but everyone in the audience was dizzy. These parents were just ordinary villagers and could not keep up with the speed of Nagarjuna's speech.

Of course, some parents still understood and asked Nagarjuna: "Excuse me, Principal Nagarjuna, what is the scholarship?"

"Excuse me, Principal Nagarjuna, are there any differences between elementary school, middle school and university you are talking about?"

"Excuse me, Principal Nagarjuna"

Nagarjuna waved his hand to stop everyone and said, "I will answer these questions for you one by one."

"First of all, scholarships are intended to reward students from poor families but with excellent academic performance."

"Then, elementary schools are responsible for teaching students basic knowledge. Under normal circumstances, middle school students can already be regarded as genin. Teachers will lead students to perform some non-dangerous tasks to lay a solid foundation for the students' future. .”

"Universities are places where students with poor ninja talent or students who are not interested in becoming ninjas join. In universities, students can learn technology, cooking skills, etc."

I don’t know how long it took, but Nagarjuna also finished speaking, and the parents in the audience also fell asleep. Nagarjuna shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, parents, I have said everything I want to say. If you parents have nothing to say, The problem can go home.”

After hearing Nagarjuna's words, some parents who had been unable to sit still for a long time ran away and disappeared gradually. Gradually, the parents also left.
