Konoha Ninja Academy

A banner hung over the academy's entrance, proclaiming "Welcome, Sand Shinobi Academy Freshmen." Several Konoha Chunin instructors, acting as volunteers, busily guided the group from Sunagakure, answering their questions and pointing the way.

"Whoa!!"

"They're really students from Sunagakure! They're here in Konoha!"

"Where, where? Let me see."

"Their clothes are so weird. Why are they wearing head scarves?"

"Show some respect for their attire! Curb your curiosity!"

The windows and hallways of the academy classrooms were crowded with Konoha's new generation of students, all eager to catch a glimpse of this exotic sight.

For ninjas of this era, their first encounter with ninjas from other villages often occurred on the battlefield, with weapons drawn.

Their understanding of foreign ninja was largely limited to stories passed down from elders and descriptions in textbooks.

Now, students from the Sand Shinobi Academy were visiting Konoha for a "summer camp," a truly unprecedented event.

[Summer Camp]

This novel term had been posted on the bulletin boards of every classroom.

While the organizer wasn't explicitly stated, according to the rumors circulating among the students...

Such perplexing activities were usually the brainchild of Principal Gojo.

And upon hearing that it was Principal Gojo's creation, groans echoed throughout the Konoha Ninja Academy.

Principal Gojo!

Ranked number one on the Konoha Ninja Academy's legendary figures list, he was a phantom, rarely seen. However, the activities he orchestrated often put these young students through the wringer.

First, the "Gratitude Education" program had given them a humbling and slightly embarrassing experience. Now, this "Summer Camp," who knew what would happen?

However, based on the description, it seemed to consist of standard ninja training, so there shouldn't be any issues... right?

Activities such as: weighted marches through the Konoha Forest, cooking exercises in the Konoha Forest, and willpower training...

Among these lively Konoha youngsters, there was one exception.

Itachi Uchiha, giving perfunctory responses to the girls around him, gazed out the window, lost in thought.

'Father said that Advisor Gojo never does anything without a purpose.'

'So, having students from Sunagakure attend classes and participate in the summer camp with us must have some underlying objective that I haven't grasped yet.'

'And this summer camp... for normal people, it might be considered intensive training. But for aspiring ninjas, it seems rather... basic.'

Slap

Suddenly, Itachi's shoulder was lightly tapped by Izumi Uchiha, appearing from behind.

"Itachi, what are you thinking about so intently?"
