Chapter 56: The Organization Decides to Increase Your Burden
The next day.
Inside the Kazekage's office.
At this moment, a man wearing a green jumpsuit walked in.
"Kazekage-sama, Might Duy reporting for duty."
"Haha, you're here, Mr. Dai. Please, have a seat. Don't be a stranger."
"Thank you, Kazekage-sama!"
"Don't be nervous! Don't be nervous! I've brought you here today for something good."
Seeing Might Duy looking slightly ill at ease on the sofa, Saito said comfortingly.
"I've been keeping an eye on your performance at the Sunagakure Academy these past two days."
"Your colleagues also think very highly of you, so I've decided to grant you the treatment of an outstanding talent."
After saying that, Saito took a gold card out of his pocket and handed it to Might Duy.
"Here! This gold card is a symbol of outstanding talent. It's both an honor and a confirmation of your abilities!"
"Thank you, Kazekage-sama!" Might Duy said excitedly as he took the gold card from Saito.
"Don't worry, Kazekage-sama! I will work even harder and use my youth to warm every child."
"Hehe! Actually, you don't need to look after every child."
[If you take care of all of them, what are the other teachers supposed to do!]
"After all, the other Taijutsu teachers need to make a living too!"
"But! Your seriousness! Responsibility! Effort and diligence! I've seen it all."
"Therefore! I think... I'll increase your burden a bit! I wonder if Mr. Dai is willing to accept?"
"I am willing! Kazekage-sama! My youth won't allow me to be lazy! Please, give me your orders!"
"Very good! As expected of an outstanding talent I handpicked myself! You're truly different!"
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just feel that with Mr. Dai's abilities, staying in the Elementary Department is a waste of talent. I've already organized the Youth Class I mentioned to you before, but I feel that just having a little time every Friday afternoon isn't very effective."
"So I've decided to create a Special Training Camp with Mr. Dai in full charge. You'll cross the desert on foot and then head to the Southwest Coast of the Land of Wind to perform deep-sea pressure training."
"Hidden Sand Village can provide whatever equipment Mr. Dai needs. And don't worry about training people to death; this time, Hidden Sand Village will send an excellent medical team and the latest Recovery Potions developed by the lab. As long as they're still breathing, they can definitely be saved!"
"What do you think, Mr. Dai?"
[Actually, The Three Little Ones had already returned yesterday. At first, Saito was very happy, as he had raised them for so long. But after a while, he couldn't stay happy because they were interfering with his dates with his wives!]
[They've even learned how to heckle. Sure enough, once kids grow up, they aren't as cute as they used to be! So it's better for the young people to go out of the village and gain some experience!]
"Such... such... such youthful training! Don't worry, Kazekage-sama, leave it to me! I will definitely make them feel the power of youth!"
"Excellent! Dai! I truly didn't misjudge you!"
Look at this spirit!
This is what a true outstanding talent of Hidden Sand Village looks like!
This is what you call professional!
Unlike a certain blonde!
Being a spy and yet so picky!
Even calling herself a Walking Miko!
Bah!
"Well then, Dai, you can go and get ready. This afternoon, you can go to the Youth Academy to get to know the students, and we'll set off tomorrow morning! Remember to come back later; I'll boost your stats a bit!"

Inside the Youth Academy.
In the classroom where Rasa used to study.
A group of Ninjas had already gathered here.
"Eh! Eimei, you're here too? Weren't you setting up seals over at the Second Legion?"
Yahiko, who had just walked into the classroom, saw Uzumaki Jiang Ming sitting in his seat and asked.
"Sigh! Didn't I receive the notice? But it seems like they're making a big deal out of it this time. Most of the students who graduated from the Second Legion in the last few years seem to have been notified."
"Eh! Really? I thought it was a collective training for our First Legion. A lot of people from the First Legion came too."
"And the Third Legion. Don't forget that Konan is from the Third Legion, and she's back too."
"Eh! That's true! There must be a thousand people here! What kind of training needs so many people?"
"It should be related to Taijutsu!"
Nagato, who was nearby, spoke up.
"Eh! Where did you get that news? Don't tell me... you eavesdropped on the conversations between Dad Saito and the Moms. I didn't expect that..."
"idiot! Haven't you noticed that no one here scored lower than 70 on their Taijutsu graduation exam?"
Before Yahiko could continue, Nagato preemptively stated the reason.
He had no choice; if he didn't say it now, who knows what would happen to his reputation!
"Oh, oh! I see!"
"Nagato has a point. Taijutsu grades are mainly divided into physical fitness and combat. But combat isn't something that can be improved just by simple sparring, so it can only be training in the area of physical fitness."
"And if a Ninja wants to reach a score of 70 in Taijutsu without neglecting other subjects, their physical fitness score must involve carrying a 500-jin load and completing one lap around Hidden Sand Village within the allotted time."
"Exactly. Based on the difficulty of previous Youth Classes, our physical training this time will probably be at least ten laps around Hidden Sand Village Village with the same weight."
"Tch! Only ten laps!"
Hearing the high-level analysis from Nagato and Eimei, Yahiko expressed that it was no big deal—just a piece of cake!
Yahiko stated that after more than a month of training in the First Legion, his physical condition was already vastly different from before. Ten laps, while somewhat difficult, was only a minor challenge!
[All Ninjas who have received the Youth Ninja Retraining Notice, please gather on the playground!]
[All Ninjas who have received the Youth Ninja Retraining Notice, please gather on the playground!!]
[All Ninjas who have received the Youth Ninja Retraining Notice, please gather on the playground!!!]
The broadcast announcement rang out three times in total.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
"Yeah, let's go."

On the playground, when Yahiko, Nagato, and the others arrived, it was already packed with people.
Everyone stood together according to their legion numbers; Yahiko, Nagato, and the others also quickly separated and lined up behind their respective legions.
Thanks to the Ninjas' experience in the military, although there were nearly a thousand people on the playground, there wasn't a hint of noise; everyone was waiting for the person to take the stage.
They were also eager to know the content of the training.
Because all Ninjas who could be arranged to study in the Youth Class would see a significant jump in their strength after finishing.
This was the prestige of the Youth Class!
Soon.
A Ninja walked onto the stage.
It's just... this outfit... isn't it a bit sloppy?
"I am very grateful to the Kazekage-sama for giving me this opportunity to be in full charge of this Special Training Camp. I... sob sob sob..."
Looking at the nearly thousand Ninjas below the stage and thinking about how he was about to train them, Might Duy... and so, the second iconic scene of the Hidden Sand Village Youth Academy was born.
This scene was titled:
[The Weeping Taijutsu Head Instructor!]
The first iconic scene was [Don't Kill Your Wife and Abandon Your Child, Rasa!]
