In the past few days, Chiyama Gekko noticed that Kushina always rushed home and then dragged Yugura into a room, staying there all day.

Of course, Chiyama Gekko knew what they were up to. He also had a clear idea of what Mikoto Uchiha was doing.

Wasn't it just Minato Namikaze and Fugaku Uchiha making special Military Rations Pills?

Logically speaking, Minato Namikaze should have returned by now. There would be a good show once he came back.

With a cheerful mindset, Chiyama Gekko headed straight for the ninja academy.

The Graduation Assessment is about to start soon, and it seems that the Chunin exams will be held simultaneously. As an assistant teacher, he was on the invigilation list.

When he arrived at the academy, he found all the students and teachers standing on the playground, divided into two large formations, one big and one small.

Chiyama Gekko was extremely curious. He consciously walked into the teachers' formation.

"Hey? Teacher Gekko, after taking a break for a while, you've finally returned to the academy."

"Hey, I was just burdened with a mission. But, Teacher Mingyu, what's going on here?"

Chiyama Gekko approached a teacher, a kind - looking middle - aged teacher who had taught many students.

He was originally a Chunin. Although his strength was not very high, his knowledge reserve was quite extensive, and he was highly respected by everyone.

"I heard that the principal is going to be replaced."

"They say the new principal is a powerful person."

"Well, this is the welcome ceremony for the new principal arranged by the academy."

Huh? A new principal? I've never heard of it.

Judging from Teacher Mingyu's expression, the new principal should indeed be a powerful person.

Although Konoha was relatively peaceful, after all, it was a ninja village, and it was quite normal to admire the strong.

Just as he started to wonder who the new principal was.

A loud welcome call brought him back to reality.

"Welcome the new principal!"

As the voice faded, there was a round of enthusiastic applause. Both the students and teachers were clapping.

On the temporarily - built platform, there was originally only the old principal, but suddenly another person appeared.

Seeing this new person, everyone widened their eyes, filled with disbelief.

This person was a middle - aged man, and the marks of time made him look very sophisticated.

His short, silver - white hair was very eye - catching, and there was a smile on his lips.

The only difference was that the half - sleeve of the Hokage uniform was gone, and there was a smile on his once - serious face.

"Sakumo Hatake???"

Chiyama Gekko blurted out suddenly.

The next second, everyone stared at him fiercely!

"Teacher Chiyama, this is Lord Sakumo! How can you call him by his name directly!"

"Lord Sakumo is the new principal of our school and your superior. You should show due respect!"

The old principal's face immediately flushed with anger.

Sakumo Hatake let out a hearty laugh and raised his hand to stop the old principal from scolding him.

"Teacher Chiyama, are you surprised?"

"But I remember telling you that I would come to teach at the ninja academy."

As soon as Chiyama Gekko saw Sakumo Hatake, he felt his heart tremble slightly. He finally understood why the people from Yugakure used to refer to him as the White Fang of Konoha.

This One Thousand Years of Death is not only a physical blow, but more importantly, a mental one, making it unforgettable for a long time.

Looking at Chiyama Gekko with a blank - faced expression, Sakumo Hatake let out another soft laugh. Then he looked at the students and teachers below and spoke again:

"I'm sure you all know me, so I'll just briefly introduce myself."

"Sakumo Hatake, the new principal."

"Please give me your support from now on."

These simple three sentences made everyone in the stands go crazy!

"Holy cow! Am I dreaming? The famous Konoha's White Fang is gonna be our principal! How cool!"

"Hahaha! We're so lucky. With Principal Sakumo leading us, we'll definitely become the best ninjas."

"Well, blame those who've already graduated. They're so unlucky!"

Hearing the cheers of the students, Chiyama Gekko showed a strange look on his face and silently sighed:

You're still so young. The guy in front of you is a real hard - ass who can be tough on his own son.

Back then, just because of an early graduation, he found an elite ninja as an examiner for his own son.

You actually think you're lucky. Poor kids, your hard days are coming.

"Everyone, calm down. Principal Sakumo still has something to say."

Seeing that the people below had gone wild enough, the old principal immediately stepped out to help maintain order.

When the noise subsided, Sakumo Hatake smiled slightly and spoke again:

"The graduation exam is approaching."

"I have some opinions and ideas about it."

"For a long time, the content of the graduation exam has always been a ninjutsu assessment. I think this is very unfair."

"A ninja shouldn't be judged solely by their ninjutsu skills. Instead, skills like genjutsu, Gitai, and Concealment Jutsu are also what ninjas should master."

"So, the Graduation Assessment will be significantly reformed soon."

"Personally, I think more people should be given the opportunity to show their best side. As long as they can achieve results in their own fields, I believe they are qualified to become ninjas."

After he said these words, the whole place fell silent.

Chiyama Gekko stared at Sakumo Hatake with wide eyes, never expecting him to make such a move.

Reforming the system of the ninja academy is a huge thing.

To put it bluntly, this is overthrowing the previous bill of the Second Hokage.

But this is a very correct thing to do, because people's potential lies in different fields. Making a one - size - fits - all judgment has too many drawbacks.

Who says those who practice Gitai can't become a Kazekage? Wait for 20 years and see if Guy can open the Seven Gates and kick someone to death with one kick. If you can't wait, you can go and try it with Matt Dai first.

Who says Concealment Jutsu isn't on the table? Come and tell Chiyama. He'll empty your house right away.

"Yeah! Long live Principal Sakumo!"

The first one to burst into cheers was Guy. His flushed face showed how excited he was at this moment.

"I think Principal Sakumo is right. Guy's Gitai skills have long surpassed ordinary people. But it's because the assessment content is always ninjutsu that he hasn't graduated yet."

"I support it!"

As Guy's friend and second rival, Obito Uchiha also spoke up in support.

Immediately afterwards, people kept shouting that Principal Sakumo Hatake was brilliant.

After some thought, the teachers also believed it was a good thing.

For a moment, the voices in support of Sakumo Hatake grew louder and louder.

"Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Sakumo Hatake really lives up to his reputation as the number one person under the Hokage. No one can match his daring!"

"Well, I wasted my time thinking about how to help Guy get through this time."

Chiyama Gekko looked at Sakumo Hatake on the stage with admiration, sincerely impressed by him.

But he still had a score to settle. He must avenge the One Thousand Years of Death! Otherwise, he'd have a psychological shadow!
