This was Tsunami's fault. The reason why he didn't interact much with others was because of the generation gap. When he was with adults, the adults would only treat Mayo as a little ghost. When he was with children, Mayo wouldn't be able to put down her face. After all, he was a healthy teenager in his previous life. How could he play with a group of five-year-olds? Because of this, Mayo was in an awkward situation. Coupled with the fact that she knew about the existence of Big Bosses like Uchiha Ban and Kakuya, she couldn't help but be unable to relax and waste her time. She always thought that if she could become stronger, she would have more security in the future.
" Hey, Maya-chan, I heard that there are a lot of cute girls in school. As you know, our family is now dying. After you enter school, chase after a few girls and marry them. That way, you can have a bunch of children. So, the future of our Thousand-Hand Clan is in your hands. You're very cute anyway, so this shouldn't be too difficult for you!”Okami suddenly stepped forward and patted Mayo's shoulder.
Mayo almost fainted when she heard this. It was one thing for Tsuneo to be so carefree normally, but she didn't expect him to say such nonsense now. No matter what, she was only five years old. Was it really okay to say such things to a five-year-old child?
" I'm sorry, I'm not interested in little ghosts. If I have to talk about the criteria for choosing a spouse..." As she spoke, Mayo looked at Tsunete. Needless to say, Tsunete's figure was very good. She was a perfect mature woman, and she had a head of shiny golden hair. She was also from the Thousand Hands Clan. The chakra had a huge vitality, so there was nothing to say about Tsunete's skin.
"You little brat, what are you looking at? I'm your cousin!”When he saw Mayo's gaze, Tsunei glared at her fiercely and wanted to hit her head, but she dodged it.
Of course, Okami didn't take it to heart at all. Although families with the blood inheritance limit usually had inter-clan marriages, the current Thousand Hands Clan had long since ceased to exist in name only. In addition, there were only four of her and Mayo left, so there was no need to carry out such inter-clan marriages. Most importantly, Mayo was only five years old, and she was already twenty-one years old. The age difference was too big. You made Okami feel shy in front of a five-year-old child. Was this not a joke?
Mayo pursed her lips and didn't say anything else. She really wasn't interested in Tsunei. Firstly, the age gap was too big. How could Mayo possibly be interested in someone who was 16 years older than her? Mayo's criteria for choosing a partner was to find someone of the same age or younger than her.
The two of them joked as they arrived at the Ninja School!
The Ninja School was an organization founded by the second generation Naruto Thousand Hands, Mayo's second grandfather. The establishment of this organization allowed some ordinary people to become ninjas. It could be said that it had pushed forward the development of the ninja world. In the past, ordinary people had no chance to become ninjas and would always be in the disadvantaged group. The establishment of the Ninja School gave ordinary people a chance to climb up the ladder, but there were advantages and disadvantages to this.
Although it had pushed forward the development of the Ninja Realm, it had also created another tragedy, which was the scale of the war. During the Warring States Period, although there were endless wars, it was just a fight between families. Although it was cruel, the scale was not considered large. After all, a family only had a few thousand people at most. If two families fought each other, the total number would not even reach 10,000. However, the establishment of the Ninja Village and the Ninja School had caused the number of ninjas to increase rapidly, and the scale of the war had also expanded.
According to Mayo's knowledge, the number of ninjas who had joined the first Ninja Realm war alone had reached 30,000. The total number of ninjas in the five villages had exceeded 150,000. This kind of war was simply unprecedented and magnificent. Every time the war ended, the number of corpses on the battlefield would be several times or even ten times that of the Sengoku Era.
With the outbreak of the first Ninja World War, every village had realized the importance of military affairs. They put in more effort to nurture the ninjas. According to Mayo's initial estimation, the total number of ninjas in Kinabe Village had probably exceeded 50,000. This was a terrifying number. This era was much more chaotic than the later era, and every village was desperately strengthening their military strength. If the first Ninja World War was just the beginning of the Ninja Village, then now... It was undoubtedly the golden age of the village, the time when the village was at its strongest.
However, after World War II and World War III, the number of ninjas in the village began to decrease because too many people died. After the fourth Ninja Realm, the five villages only had 80,000 ninjas after the alliance, which was incomparable to the current situation. However, this also showed that the death rate of ninjas in this era was very high.
Mayo was in Class One of the first grade. Every grade was divided into ten classes. Class One was the elite class, and Class Ten was the weakest. A ninja school was divided into six grades, with a total of 60 classes. Each class had about 100 students, which meant that about 1,000 people graduated to become ninjas every year. This was the best performance of the village to replenish the military strength, but the more they replenished, the more they died in war.
"Lord Tsunete, what do you need me to do?”
Outside the classroom, a bespectacled middle-aged man was very respectful. After all, Tsunei was the granddaughter of the first generation Naruto, and she was also a very powerful female ninja in the village. She was also the disciple of the third generation Naruto. With so many identities, who dared to disrespect her?
"Yes, this is my younger brother, Masayo Thousand-Hands. I'll have to trouble you to take care of him in the future!”Okami nodded. In front of outsiders, she had a very dignified appearance. Of course, the so-called care she mentioned was just to ask her teacher to help Mayo a little more. It would be best if she could think of a way to make Mayo a few friends.
However, when the middle-aged man heard this, it was a completely different feeling. Immediately, the teacher looked at Mayo with a strange gaze and nodded to himself." No problem, I'll take good care of Mayo. Don't worry!"”Although he said that, he felt helpless in his heart. As a teacher, he was most afraid of those who had connections. He could not beat or scold those with connections. He did not know how much effort he had to put in to educate them.
"Thank you!" Okami replied casually, then turned to Mayo and said," Behave yourself in school and don't cause trouble, understand?”However, at the end of his sentence, Tsunete leaned closer to Mayo's ear and whispered with a trace of killing intent," Of course, if anyone dares to bully you, then kill him for me. If there's any trouble, I'll take care of it for you!"”
