Chapter 958

~4 min read 670 words

The answer Whirlpool Mito gave made Young Yuanzi pause for a moment — it wasn't the ninja village of Loulan, but rather this tiny difference of "belonging to oneself," which carried an entirely different meaning, and the serious look in Mito's eyes told her that she was absolutely not just saying it casually.

"Even if I agree, is it too fast to pick out a batch of children right now to take part in the Chunin Exams being held next month?" Even if it were like forcing ducks onto a perch, you still couldn't send off kids who had never received any ninja education at all without doing any preparation.

Setting aside whether they can pass the first exam, just the biggest difference between commoners and ninja — whether they can activate the flow of chakra within their bodies — is already a condition that, within one month, many people would find impossible to meet, let alone the more advanced things like physical strength and technique.

If we measure Konoha Ninja Academy students at the level of elementary schoolers, then among the children produced by a month of intensive training, the highest level might not even reach the kindergarten junior class — if that's the case, let's find someone more capable.

Fortunately, however, things weren't that hard to handle. In fact, the Queen of Loulan had long ago had the idea of establishing a ninja village, so a few years back she began collecting scrolls through merchant caravans traveling between the various countries, and scouting for talented children.

Whether it was going door-to-door in the Land of Wind to recruit children, or having them transported through Orochimaru from the Land of Fire, or bringing back homeless orphans from the Land of Water, or offline transactions in the Land of Earth, plus the parents in Loulan itself who eagerly signed up bringing their own children — no matter what means were used, over the years the Queen had secretly gathered a large batch of moldable talents.

Of course, having students without teachers wouldn't work either. Regarding this, Loulan said: "That's no problem, settled in a minute!" The Queen waved her brush grandly, earmarked a sum of money specifically, with only one use — throwing money at it.

And believe it or not, the effect was really not bad. With Lady Xinjianai and the others watching, the people who came, whether for money or to seek a new path for themselves, at least served as the enlighteners who led this group of children onto the path of ninja.

Moon Ninja — without much discussion, Young Yuanzi quite capriciously decided on the name of the ninja village, and as for the village's logo, of course it was also designed by her personally.

After referencing the experiences of other ninja villages, and considering her own drawing talent, Young Yuanzi finally came up with a scheme that looked fairly fitting — at least as the emblem on the forehead protector of Moon Ninja from then on, it was entirely sufficient.

Through the Azure Dragon's Eye, Young Yuanzi could clearly see chakra flowing fully and smoothly in these little children brought by the Queen. Based on her understanding of the amount of chakra stored in the human body, there was no doubt — in this one aspect, every single one of them met the minimum standard for a ninja.

Although they were all still childlike and innocent, Young Yuanzi was surprised to notice that these children had a very subtle difference from ordinary peers their age — a sense of precocity unlike that of children.

Even though children in the Naruto World generally matured early, this batch gave Young Yuanzi an even clearer impression — at least compared to the students of Konoha Ninja Academy who grew up as if playing around, they were more suited to this Shinobi World.

"Young Yuanzi, my lord, we are deeply honored and humbled that you can take us, these freshly graduated people, to take part in the Chunin Exams!"
