Phi-Fic Chapter 494 Yamato’s Entrance Day
Chapter 494 Yamato’s Entrance Day
A day later, under Kizaru's arrangement, Yamato, who had settled in Konoha, was about to begin his academic journey.
Considering that Yamato is not too young, Kizaru arranged for her to live in a small apartment in the central area of the capital.
The apartment is over 50 square meters in size, with a separate bedroom and kitchen. The decoration is very modern, and all kinds of advanced appliances are provided.
Yamato was filled with curiosity as he moved into such a modern apartment for the first time.
Inside the apartment, everything from the electric massage bathtub to the new-style stove and the projector and sound system that could play movies brought Yamato an extremely novel experience.
Just one night's stay allowed Yamato to experience a completely different world from Wano Country. Compared to Wano Country, where many services still rely on manpower, the technology and living conditions here are in a completely different world.
Yamato didn't know what modernization was, but she could sense that life here was far better than in Wano Country; it was practically two different worlds.
This also made Yamato, lying in bed at night, unable to help but recall what the doctor had said to her the night before she arrived in the Land of Light.
Only Lord Kizaru can save this world, and only the Land of Light established by Lord Kizaru.
Yamato initially didn't believe this statement or viewpoint at all, but after actually coming to the Land of Light, seeing its advanced environment, and experiencing the superior life in the apartment, she couldn't help but think that if the citizens of the Land of Light all lived such a happy life, then Kizaru could indeed be called the savior of the Land of Light.
If Kizaru can enable the people of Wano Country and the entire ocean to live a good life, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that he can save the world.
But is it really possible to do something like this?
With this curiosity and a growing desire to explore the Land of Light, Yamato got up early the next day, quickly washed up, and waited for Kizaru's arrival.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Yamato, who was getting impatient waiting in the house, finally saw Kizaru arrive.
The apartment door opened, and Kizaru, yawning and looking like he hadn't had enough rest, greeted Yamato, "Yo, good morning!"
"Didn't you say you'd pick me up from school early?" Yamato shouted indignantly after getting up early and waiting for more than two hours.
Standing in the corridor, Kizaru turned his head to look at the sun high in the sky behind him, yawned again, and then lazily replied, "Isn't it early?"
"It's almost 9:30!" Yamato shouted a reminder.
Kizaru picked at his ear and said with a grin, "Don't disturb the neighbors' rest!"
"Who would be sleeping in at this hour?" Yamato complained, but his tone was noticeably softer.
"You've probably worked hard all night and are finally looking forward to the daytime, all those hardworking people who want to get some rest. So please keep quiet at all times!" Kizaru said lazily as he walked straight into the apartment.
Yamato followed behind Kizaru and, upon seeing this guy, walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa without any politeness, and said in an annoyed tone, "Weren't you going to take me to school?"
"Didn't you say you didn't want to study?" Kizaru replied, crossing his legs.
"I'm still waiting to pass your graduation exam so I can return to Wano Country as soon as possible," Yamato said, raising his voice slightly, his attitude resolute and full of confidence.
"Graduation exams aren't so easy to pass!" Kizaru kindly reminded him.
"I'm sure I'll pass!" Yamato exclaimed confidently.
Kizaru glanced at Yamato, then looked away, refraining from further provocation. He entered the apartment simply to see if Yamato could adapt to apartment life.
Seeing that there were no signs of damage in the apartment and that his belongings were fairly tidy, he felt relieved and stood up without wasting any more time.
"In that case, come with me!"
Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Yamato's eyes flashed with anticipation. Without saying a word or thinking too much about why Kizaru wanted to come into his apartment, he simply ran to the corner of the living room, picked up his weapon, the spiked club Ken, and followed Kizaru out of the apartment.
Yamato's apartment was in the city center, just across the street from the First Military Academy. The two walked down from the apartment, crossed the street, and arrived at the academy gate in less than ten minutes.
At the entrance of the academy, a boy, or rather a teenager, wearing a black T-shirt, with short, eyebrow-length hair and a somewhat delicate appearance, was waiting there.
"Kizaru-sensei!" Upon seeing Kizaru appear, Itachi Uchiha, who had been waiting there, had his eyes light up and a joyful smile appeared on his face as he quickly stepped forward.
"Itachi! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Kizaru reached out and patted Itachi's head as he rushed up to him, saying with a smile.
"I just arrived recently too," Itachi replied, glancing at Yamato standing next to Kizaru out of the corner of his eye.
"Is this the great pirate's daughter from the One Piece world that Kizaru-sensei mentioned last night? She is indeed very tall!" Itachi thought to himself, while openly turning his gaze to Yamato, waiting for his teacher's introduction.
"Itachi, this is Yamato. She will be your classmate from now on. Please take good care of her!" Kizaru introduced her at the opportune moment.
Uchiha Itachi is almost seven years old this year. At his age, he should still be studying at the first elementary school in the Land of Light. However, due to his outstanding talent, he mastered the school's six-year curriculum in just one year.
Considering Itachi's exceptional talent and his own request, his teacher Kizaru agreed to his application to graduate early and allowed him to enter the First Military Academy.
Itachi did not disappoint Kizaru's trust. In less than half a year since enrolling, he had become the top student of the first year and was praised by the school's teachers as a super genius who had the strength to pass the graduation test upon enrollment.
It can be said that after Kizaru, Itachi Uchiha is another super genius who has shown a level of talent that transcends age, following Kakashi. He is the kind of genius that others can see at a glance that his future is immeasurable.
Itachi's increasingly outstanding performance gave the entire Uchiha clan hope for the future. It's no exaggeration to say that Itachi is now the apple of the Uchiha clan's eye.
Even the arrogant Madara Uchiha paid some attention to Itachi, acknowledging him as another genius born in the Uchiha clan after himself.
While admiring this talented disciple, Kizaru naturally wouldn't let go of this natural source of labor. Considering that Itachi was also a first-year student, Kizaru handed over the task of receiving Yamato and helping him adapt to school life to Itachi.
Itachi also took the first official mission given to him by his teacher very seriously. Not only did he consult his parents after Kizaru left last night, but he also made thorough preparations.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Itachi, and I am a first-year student at the school. I look forward to working with you from now on," Itachi said to Yamato very politely.
To Yamato, Itachi's size and age were no different from a child's. Responding to Itachi's polite greeting, Yamato smiled warmly and said generously, "My name is Oden, I..."
Kizaru interrupted Yamato directly, "Her name is Yamato. From today onwards, she is a first-year student just like you. Like you, in addition to the courses at the Military Academy, she also has courses at the Political Academy to study. You should take care of her and look after her more often."
Yamato glared at Kizaru, clearly displeased with his introduction. "I don't need to be taken care of! My goal is to pass the graduation exams for both academies within a month!"
Hearing Yamato's words and seeing her confidence, Itachi felt a surge of curiosity and anticipation for this guest and new companion.
As a genius, Itachi enjoys numerous accolades, but he also endures the loneliness that only geniuses experience.
Having skipped grades, he now not only has to get along with classmates who are much older than him, but also has to endure the alienation from those around him, which is tinged with a sense of awe and jealousy.
That's why Itachi longs for companions, for companions with whom he can communicate normally.
Kizaru arranged for Itachi to receive Yamato this time, partly because of Itachi's genius, and partly because he saw the loneliness of his disciple.
After all, no matter how talented Itachi is, he is still a child. As a child, he longs for normal friendship and communication, not the fawning, fear, and jealousy that surrounds him now.
Yamato is quite strong, and his easygoing and carefree personality is a perfect fit for Itachi in his current state.
After explaining to Yamato, Kizaru formally introduced Itachi to Yamato, saying, "This kid is my personal disciple, one of the few geniuses the Land of Light has produced in decades, second only to me. Didn't you keep nagging me to pass the academy's graduation exam? Itachi was praised by the teachers as a super genius with the ability to pass the graduation exam when he entered the academy. If you learn from him and catch up with him, it means you also have the ability to pass the graduation exam ahead of time."
Hearing Kizaru's introduction, Yamato's gaze towards Itachi changed. She looked at Itachi with some surprise and suspicion, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is this kid really as formidable as Kizaru says?"
As a straightforward person, Yamato didn't keep her questions to herself. She chose the simplest and most direct approach, saying directly to Itachi, "Uchiha Itachi, let's fight! If I defeat you, won't that prove that I have the strength to graduate?"
Yamato's directness caught Itachi off guard. After a few seconds of stunned silence, Itachi looked at Kizaru-sensei with some uncertainty.
Facing Itachi's gaze, Kizaru simply smiled and said, "This is a matter between you classmates, so I won't interfere. Itachi, Yamato is in your hands now."
Even at a young age, Itachi quickly accepted the reality of his teacher's attempt to shift the blame, after all, this wasn't the first time he had experienced being tricked by Kizaru.
Itachi looked at Yamato again and said calmly, "The graduation exam tests not only combat ability, but also theoretical and cultural knowledge. You will not only have to pass the military academy's exam, but also the political academy's graduation exam, which has nothing to do with combat ability. So, it is meaningless for you to try to defeat me to prove that you have the strength to pass the exam."
"What?" Yamato was very confident in her fighting ability, but she had no interest in cultural theories or anything like that. She realized that she had been tricked by Kizaru. She turned her head and glared at Kizaru, only to find that Kizaru maintained a smile that made people even more angry.
Yamato wanted to protest to Kizaru, but then Itachi Uchiha in front of her said, "However, if you want to have a match with me, I'm ready anytime."
Itachi's tone remained calm, but his composed stance radiated an inner confidence and ease. (End of Chapter)
