4 Chapter 3 The Ultimate Secret Art: Backstabbing Each Other

"My name is Miyo Sakurai, I like small animals...sucking, and my dream is to become a gourmet."

"I am Shigeki Ezaki, my hobby is..."

'The self-introduction is finally back on track...' Yagami thought then saw a serious-faced boy in the back row stand up and say, "My name is Morino Ibiki, my hobby is interrogation, and my dream is to torture the other villages Kage one day!"

The corners of Yagami's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this. 'Are all kids nowadays thinking so dangerously?'

Finally, it was Sōseki's turn to speak.

He was originally the focus of the crowd, and after the previous events, even his every move was being watched.

His eyes are focused, but Sōseki seems to feel the slightest bit of pressure, and he didn't seem to be impatient at all. He then said softly, "I am Shimizu Sōseki and my hobby is to make many, many friends. As for my dream, I want to become a Medical Ninja and use my Medical Ninjutsu to erase the pain for our world."

Many people are surprised, not at how shocking Sōseki's self-introduction is, on the contrary, his speech was too ordinary.

Actually, it is so ordinary people can't understand.

In the system of each Great Ninja Villages, the Medical-nin is usually women. The reason for that is not only because women pay more attention to details, but also because the three laws of Medical-nin stipulate that no Medical-nin shall ever stand on the front lines.

And a man with even a little bit of shame will not allow himself to hide in the back.

If it were someone else who said it, he might be "misunderstood" that he is just a coward, but Sōseki was different.

When you have a good impression of a person, your heart will subconsciously beautify the other person. Under this filter, everyone not only does not think that Sōseki is a coward, but secretly sigh in their hearts, 'Sōseki is a really gentle person!'

'Keep your feet on the ground... Only with this kind of temperament can one go further on the road of ninja!' Yagami is now more and more satisfied as he looked at Sōseki.

He doesn't actually dislike those who are clamoring to become the Hokage. Who didn't have a big dream when they were young? Only when they grow up will they gradually understand the gap between fantasy and reality.

It is precisely because of this that the invaluableness of those excellent and humble people can be highlighted.

After Sōseki, the others continued to introduce themselves.

At the last few positions, everyone's gaze once again focused on someone.

It is not surprising for this person to get this kind of attention, because he is the son of the current Hokage, Sarutobi Asuma.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Asma didn't hesitate at all, didn't stand up, just folded his arms coolly, leaned back on the chair, "I'm Sarutobi Asuma, I have a lot of hobbies, and my goal is... to be beyond Hokage!"

He didn't say dream, but bluntly said goal. From this, his arrogance was evident.

Unfortunately, the response was mediocre.

The most important thing children don't lack is fantasy. They don't think that Asuma can't achieve his "goal", but simply think, 'Oh, so his goal is just like that.'

Seeing everyone's gaze looked at the next person, Asuma's body froze.

'Hey, can you all at least give some reaction!'

What's even more embarrassing is that everyone is looking at the person behind him. If he puts his hands down, he would look timid, but if he continued to hold it, he feels that everyone else is watching him while laughing.

'It's super uncomfortable!'

Fortunately, there were not a few people behind him. When they finished their introductions, everyone's gaze returned to the podium, and Asuma quickly put down his stiff arms.

Looking at Sōseki's back, he couldn't understand why the other party's dream to become a Medical-nin caused such a commotion and his shocking speech to surpass Hokage did not get everyone's attention.

'Is this the world of grown-ups?'

'That's right, everyone is 5 years old grown-ups now, and no longer as simple as before...' Asuma was feeling a little melancholy for a while.

"Cough cough." Yagami coughed slightly, getting everyone's attention back, "Since everyone has a basic understanding of each other, then we are now going to the last thing to do for today – electing the class leader!"

Seeing some students showed puzzled expressions, Yagami explained, "A qualified group must have its own leader. Just as a country needs a Daimyō and a Ninja Village needs a Kage, so our class should also have its own class leader."

As soon as the voice fell, the class became active in an instant.

"Yagami-sensei, can this class leader have a title of his own? For example, Kumikage?" (Kumi/Gumi means class)

"Sensei, will this class leader get extra points for the graduation exam?"

"Yagami-sensei, will being a class leader prevents my parents from hitting me?"

Yagami looked at the little fat boy Shenyue a little speechless, 'How much did your parents hate you?'

Taking a deep breath, Yagami said in a deep voice, "Class leader is not an official position, so it can't have a title, won't get extra points, and can't let your parents not hit you... Well, in fact, the last one may be possible. In short, the original intention of being a class leader is to serve everyone, not to let you do some messy things."

Hearing Yagami's words, everyone's excited emotion suddenly disappeared at once.

"Hmph, it's boring!"

"Um, I can't even take care of myself, so I shouldn't serve everyone."

See this situation, Yagami was a little embarrassed for a while, 'Did I go too far?'

Before he could say anything to make amends, Sōseki raised his right hand.

Yagami's eyes lit up upon seeing this, "Sōseki, what is it?"

"Yagami-sensei, I want to participate in this class leader's election!"

The eyes of everyone in the class focused on him once again.

"Huh? Sōseki wanted to do that?"

"Although I don't want to be the class leader, I don't like being managed by others, but if it's Sōseki, It doesn't seem unacceptable."

"Well, I also support Sōseki."

In the back corner, Asuma pouted his lips awkwardly, "In the Ninja World, strength is everything. It's stupid to spend time helping others..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was depressed to find that the girl he had been paying attention to showed an expression of admiration to Sōseki.

"Wow, as expected of Sōseki!" Kurenai, who sits on the right side of Sōseki, looked at Sōseki with starlight in her eyes.

Since Sōseki sit in the middle of the classroom, the people who were attracted to him were sitting around him. Therefore, most of those who did not want to join his "small" group mostly sat in the corners.

Hearing Asuma's low beep, Mizuki, who is sitting in front of him, nodded subconsciously, 'That's right, he knows that that it is a thankless job but he still does it. This kind of person is either stupid, bad, or hypocritical!'

Like Sōseki, he is a victim of Second Ninja Great War and orphans like them were desperate to be recognized by others.

Therefore, seeing Sōseki easily got what he dreamed of, a feeling called jealousy kept growing in his young heart.

But he also knew that this kind of thing was not good, so he just buried his emotions in his heart. At this moment, seeing Asuma, the son of the Hokage, is like himself, he couldn't help but open his heart, hoping to stand on the same side with Asuma, the son of Hokage who is "high above".

"I, Sarutobi Asuma, also want to run for the class leader!"

"I think he did this just to impress..."

Immediately, their meeting eyes froze!

The Ultimate Secret Art: Backstabbing Each Other!

Mizuki was at a loss, he finally opened his heart, 'Why did this "noble" son of Hokage betray the revolution so quickly?'

Asuma is also on alert, 'Bastard, this guy actually saw that I just wanted to impress that red-eyed girl!
