Chapter 125: Samcheong Education
---
"However, perhaps ancestor didn't anticipate that my pupil technique would be an even more perverse 'choosing the future' compared to his 'rewinding time'," Uchiha Douhuan chuckled lightly. Exiting Sage Mode, he touched the chakra crystal and began to learn the Sage Art chakra ratio within it, refining Sage Art chakra anew. Simultaneously, Uchiha Douhuan also opened his Mangekyou Sharingan. The Yasomagatsuhi no Kami in his left eye activated, and countless branching futures began to appear before Uchiha Douhuan.
Although the vast majority of them were outcomes where Uchiha Douhuan failed to refine Sage Art chakra, natural energy ran rampant within his body, and finally, the Uchiha Asahi pupil technique sealed within the Transcription Seal rewound his body to the state before refining chakra. In this process, the pupil power of his left eye was also being consumed madly.
However, Uchiha Douhuan still found the single successful path among these tens of thousands of endings, though the cost was that his left eye's pupil power was almost depleted.
After succeeding, Uchiha Douhuan let out a long sigh of relief. The consumption of pupil power this time greatly exceeded his expectations.
Since awakening this pupil technique, Uchiha Douhuan had been relatively conservative in using his pupil power, especially in battle. Many times, he wouldn't deliberately choose an absolutely perfect reality. Particularly during his years on the battlefield, sometimes if a result wasn't perfectly ideal but still acceptable, he would choose it, precisely to reduce pupil power consumption.
But today was different. The chakra ratio for this Human Sage Mode required absolute perfection to truly refine the Sage Art chakra best suited for the human body, making the demand on pupil power especially terrifying.
Therefore, the moment he succeeded, Uchiha Douhuan's left eye already saw double images.
Fortunately, the next moment, the perfectly fused Sage Art chakra within his body began to take effect. Uchiha Douhuan could clearly feel that his current Sage Mode was worlds apart from the previous Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode. If the previous Sage Mode turned him into a snake on the path to becoming a dragon, allowing him to merge with nature, then at this moment, Uchiha Douhuan, however, directly touched natural energy with his most basic human form.
What surprised Uchiha Douhuan even more was that when the Sage Art chakra flowed through his eyes, it actually had a wondrous reaction with the Mangekyou Sharingan's pupil power within them. Uchiha Douhuan could clearly feel that the natural energy within this special Sage Art chakra was slowly completing the missing part in his Mangekyou Sharingan. Perhaps before long, his eyes could truly be pushed to the level of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Uchiha Douhuan went to the bathroom and looked at his current appearance in the mirror.
The vertical slit pupils brought by the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode had disappeared. The original Sharingan's somewhat ominous crimson red had transformed under the effect of this special Sage Art chakra into a brighter scarlet red. The edges of the jet-black Mangekyou tomoe patterns now had a faint golden layer. The eye markings at the edges of both eyes had also transformed into extensions of the Mangekyou's three lightning-bolt tomoe, converging between his eyebrows and on the bridge of his nose, while the two outward-extending patterns reached all the way to his temples.
At this moment, Uchiha Douhuan also carried a hint of divine serenity.
"Haha, hahaha!" Uchiha Douhuan laughed out loud in his own bathroom. He could feel that once his eyes finished evolving, his strength would also undergo a qualitative leap.
Returning to the study, Uchiha Douhuan carefully put away the chakra crystal containing a portion of pupil power preserved with the Transcription Seal. This ancestor's pupil technique was a life-saving ability even more perverse than Izanagi; presumably, it could save his life at a critical moment.
After doing all this, Uchiha Douhuan made a special trip to the clan shrine, enshrined this scroll to receive the clan's incense offerings. This amazingly talented ancestor should not be forgotten in the river of history.
...
The next day, Uchiha Douhuan and Tsunade, along with several high-ranking hospital staff, went to the Ninja Academy. Since Tsunade had already signed the proposal, the preparatory work for establishing the Medical Academy should begin.
Hearing that the Hokage was coming for inspection, the students in the Ninja Academy assembled on the training ground under their teachers' organization.
Uchiha Douhuan on the podium looked at the children below, each with a long face, and chuckled inwardly.
Before going to the battlefield, Uchiha Douhuan had also spent several years at the Ninja Academy. He knew why these children all wore this expression: because previously, whenever the Hokage visited, there was an inevitable segment – the Will of Fire lesson. And for these children, that meant spending the whole morning baking under the sun on the training ground.
After everyone had assembled, Uchiha Douhuan looked smilingly at the children below and began to speak, "Good morning, everyone. This is my first time visiting the Ninja Academy after becoming the Fifth Hokage. Seeing you all growing up strong makes me very happy, because you are all the future of the village."
Hearing this familiar opening, the expressions on the children below turned sour. When the Third Hokage used to visit, he also started with these words.
"Don't make that face; I'll just say a few simple words," Uchiha Douhuan said. "After all, I also came from being your age. About ten years ago, I stood in the same position as you. Back then, when I heard Lord Third talk about the Will of Fire, I also got a headache. I always thought to myself, 'How can this old man talk so much?'"
As Uchiha Douhuan's voice fell, a few chuckles came from below. Soon, the laughter spread like a contagion throughout the entire training ground.
Uchiha Douhuan, however, waited until the laughter gradually subsided before continuing, "But, the first time I was saved on the battlefield by a ninja older than me, I finally understood the meaning of the Will of Fire. Where leaves dance, fire also burns. The fire's light will continue to illuminate the village and allow new leaves to sprout. You are the new leaves now; you may not understand the Will of Fire, and even find me a bit naggy."
"That's alright. Right now, you just need to grow strong and sprout vigorously. But perhaps one day in the future, when you truly realize that having grown up in the firelight of your predecessors, you too should burn yourselves for the sake of new leaves, then, you might remember a certain moment back in the Ninja Academy, a teacher's guidance. And our education will have come full circle."
"Generations of people in the village have grown up like this," Uchiha Douhuan said with a smile.
The children below were somewhat dazed by Uchiha Douhuan's words, looking blankly at Uchiha Douhuan on the podium. Even Tsunade beside him looked at Uchiha Douhuan with a slight flicker in her eyes. But at this moment, Uchiha Douhuan spoke with a smile, "I've finished my words. Now, let's get down to business."
"The village plans to establish a Medical Academy within the Ninja Academy, specifically to cultivate children with talent for medical ninjutsu. In a little while, Lady Tsunade and the seniors from the hospital will conduct a test for everyone. Those who pass will have the opportunity to receive personal training from Lady Tsunade in the future."
As soon as Uchiha Douhuan's words fell, the eyes of the children below instantly lit up. Among the Sannin, Jiraiya's achievements were mostly known only among the village's ninjas, and everything about Orochimaru had been erased. But Tsunade—everyone in the village, regardless of gender or age, had heard her stories. Especially the female ninjas in the village, young and old, mostly regarded her as their idol. So upon hearing this news, everyone perked up.
...
An entire morning passed. Among the nearly 700 students in the Ninja Academy, Tsunade only selected 30 children who passed the test. And among these children, the test results of a pink-haired little girl were the most outstanding.
Uchiha Douhuan was not surprised by this. This was, after all, the successor who would completely inherit Tsunade's mantle in the original timeline.
According to Tsunade, Haruno Sakura had solid theoretical knowledge and extremely high talent in chakra control – clearly a good seedling for learning medicine.
With the first batch of students, the Konoha Medical Academy was formally established. Uchiha Douhuan and Kakashi, the wealth confiscated from the homes of Abe Taiichi and his faction members, was more than enough to support the initial investment for this medical academy. Although this money might not be enough to fully support the plan until it yielded results, by the time large sums needed to be invested, the village's 'pigs' would likely have fattened up.
Soon, another month passed. Kakashi also escorted the last batch of nobles from the Fire Capital relocating to Konoha.
At this point, the matter of relocating the capital to Konoha was considered settled. Kakashi also returned to his post and began dealing with the troublesome citizens from the previous riot incident, who had been locked up in the Security Department's prison all this time.
Kakashi took a copy of Guy's training plan, made some deletions and modifications, and came up with a formal education and training schedule.
Three days later, a special sight appeared in Konoha.
"Today's training plan is to run one lap around the village! Anyone who fails to do so within three hours will return to the training ground by frog jumps!" In the early morning, Fujiwara Youki, wearing a specially made red hat, addressed the crowd before him sternly.
As soon as his voice fell, the faces of the villagers in the crowd collectively turned sour. Seeing this, Fujiwara Youki directly kicked the person at the very front and swung his baton. The other Security Department members followed suit, delivering a "Security Department Osteopathy Package" to this squad.
"What's with that expression?" Fujiwara Youki roared while swinging his baton. "I recognize you! Weren't you quite spirited when disrespecting Lord Fifth Hokage before? Where's the spirit from operating illegally on the streets and cursing at the Security Department and village ninjas? What's the meaning of making this face now?"
"Instructor! Stop hitting! I was wrong!" The person covered his head, twisting left and right on the ground trying to dodge the baton, but each of Fujiwara Youki's strikes accurately landed on his soft flesh, causing excruciating pain.
"You know you're wrong now?" Fujiwara Youki cursed angrily. "Where were you before?"
After receiving a round of the osteopathy package, this squad of troublesome citizens became obedient.
"All units, forward march, run!" Fujiwara Youki issued the command, leading them on a run along the village's outer perimeter.
"Our goal is?"
"Circle the village within three hours! Failure means frog jumping back to the training ground!"
"Our slogan is?"
"Spirit!"
"Cultivation!"
"Reform!"
"Improvement!"
The members of the Samcheong Education Corps, under the supervision of their instructors, shouted energetically while running. They had no choice but to be energetic, because the instructors wearing red hats were watching nearby. The slightest slacking movement, and what awaited them was another round of the osteopathy package.
Three hours and ten minutes later, the members completed the lap around the village. However, having failed to meet the target, they had no choice but to continue frog jumping back to the training ground.
"Return to the training ground by frog jumps within one and a half hours! Failure means an additional thirty sets of pull-ups!" Fujiwara Youki announced the training plan expressionlessly.
Although these training plans were a piece of cake for ninjas like them, most of these villagers were civilians. Each item in the plan was designed to be just barely achievable, but the timing would always fall slightly short.
A small group among them, who had received Ninja Academy education and could use a little chakra, were placed in a special squad managed personally by a Chuunin. These were the troublemakers among the troublesome citizens, and their training intensity was naturally doubled. However, these troublemakers were indeed difficult to manage. Many of them were previously involved in the village's gray industries, such as working as thugs for Kabukicho or casinos. Even after experiencing a series of beatings, they still dared to show defiance towards the instructors.
On the first day of training, this special squad was pulled out for separate training.
"All units! Attention!" Sakurai Hideaki, one of the strongest among the commoner ninjas in the Security Department, was chosen as the instructor for this special squad. As soon as he took office, he planned to give these guys a show of strength.
However, these troublemakers clearly didn't respect him, lining up crookedly during formation.
Seeing this, Sakurai Hideaki frowned and began, "I am the instructor assigned this time to correct your rotten spirits."
As soon as Sakurai Hideaki's voice fell, a sneer came from within the ranks.
"Who laughed? Step forward!" Sakurai Hideaki's face darkened.
However, the person who made the sound seemed unafraid of him, swaggering out and even mocking him, "What are you pretending for? Aren't you just a commoner ninja too? If I hadn't been expelled from the Ninja Academy for bullying back then, I might be doing better than you now."
Sakurai Hideaki frowned, flipped through the roster, and said, "Yamamoto Ryota? Previously a bodyguard in Kabukicho?"
Just then, the person who stepped forward rolled up his sleeves, revealing large tattoos on his arms, grinned, and said, "Instructor, wanna take a sister home tonight? If you want, I can arrange it for you."
