The first day of Rengoku at the ninja school, he did not do anything.
He just wandered around twice, familiarized himself with the environment of the school, and understood the teaching model.
The most important thing in the lower grades is still entering a stage of recognizing characters and understanding words, as well as the study of the Will of Fire.
In the ninja world, the gap between children of civilians and children of ninja clans is very large. Not to mention that Sasuke can already perform the Fireball Jutsu.
The civilian children of the same age as him, some even still don't recognize all the characters.
This kind of situation is not rare, even Naruto was like this.
In the lower grades of the school, all the commonly used characters will be taught once, and the teachers also teach with great care.
But once the characters are taught, the gap will start to widen.
In the ninja school, half of the courses are cultural subjects, and the other half are outdoor subjects.
Lower grades have running, pit jumping, and walking on a balance beam. Higher grades have ninja tool throwing and paired combat practice.
During recess, these children also just run around inside the school, not much different from the kids in Rengoku's impression.
There is a relatively important course in the ninja school, and that is Chakra Refining Technique.
This course is required to be learned from enrollment to graduation.
Many teachers in the ninja school used to report directly to the Third Hokage.
And Rengoku, after spending a day walking around, could feel faint, indistinct gazes focusing on him.
Today Rengoku was not planning to stir up trouble, just to observe the situation first.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
When school was over in the afternoon, most of the students had already recognized this principal.
They all greeted Rengoku before leaving.
The other children of the Uchiha also went back on their own.
Rengoku waited until Sasuke and Karin came out, then took the two of them back together.
"How do you feel on the first day of school? How is your interaction with classmates?", Rengoku asked gently.
Currently, there is no ninja school in the Grass Ninja Village, so this is also the first time for Karin to come to such a systematic place of learning.
Karin's expression was still very happy, "Mm, I learned some characters today, some that I didn't know before."
"The classmates… mm, the classmates are okay…", Karin hesitated a little.
The boys in the class were okay, but as for the girls, there was a bit of hostility toward Karin.
After all, Karin already knew Sasuke and would hide behind Sasuke when something happened.
Even though they were all little kids, those girl classmates all wanted to play with Sasuke.
Now that the place beside Sasuke was taken, it would be strange if they gave Karin a good face.
Rengoku understood all this clearly. He laughed and said, "Are there some girls who are excluding you?"
Karin said a little embarrassed, "…Mm."
Rengoku looked at Sasuke's cool expression and revealed a mischievous smile on his face, "That's because those girls are jealous of you."
"Eh? Why?"
"They're jealous that you can stand beside Sasuke all the time and be protected by him."
"They all want to play with Sasuke."
Sasuke was still a child, and at this moment, his face couldn't hold it anymore, "Shishou! What are you talking about?"
Rengoku laughed seeing Sasuke's red face, "Sasuke, you actually have a day when you're embarrassed?"
Sasuke let out a hum like fleeing from disaster, "Boring!"
Then ran off ahead.
Karin timidly asked, "Then in the future, should I not stay too close to Sasuke?"
Rengoku shook his head, "You just do what you should do, don't care about those unreasonable people."
"If they hate you just for such a reason, it means they're not people worth being friends with."
"Making friends is for everyone to be happy together, not to please others."
"You've come to a new environment now, don't worry about those things from before."
"Being happy is the most important thing."
Karin's eyes gradually brightened. This kind of feeling of being cared for without worry was very happy, "Thank you, Lord Rengoku."
Rengoku rubbed Karin's dark red hair, this was a trait of an excellent individual from the Uzumaki clan.
This represents vigorous life force and chakra.
Karin is naturally talented, just using her as a moving blood pack is too wasteful.
"Do you want to become a strong person in the future?"
Karin raised her head and looked at Rengoku, her expression a little confused.
Rengoku explained to her, "Becoming strong means you can protect the people you treasure."
Karin thought back to the past, back in the Grass Ninja Village, in order to get the village's protection, her mother had to be a human blood pack, even when sick she had to be squeezed dry.
If she became strong, she could protect her mother in the future, "Mm, Lord Rengoku, I want to."
Rengoku said with satisfaction, "Good, then follow me as your shishou from now on. You are from the Uzumaki clan, in the future I will teach you the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan."
He had learned a lot of sealing technique knowledge, and with Karin's talent, teaching her was the best choice.
Rengoku didn't care about any formalities, he just opened his mouth and took in Karin.
Karin didn't know what kind of etiquette was needed to become a disciple, but hearing she could take Lord Rengoku as her master, she instinctively felt happy.
"Yes, Shishou!"
Karin was still young now, her facial features not yet distinct, her face round like a bun, soft and adorable.
Seeing Karin, Rengoku felt like he was seeing young Ryuri.
Rengoku held Karin's hand and walked forward, "Don't tell anyone about your ability."
"Only use it on people you treasure. No one else can force you, understand?"
Karin's eyes were full of happiness, "I understand, Shishou."
"Sasuke, come here!", Rengoku called Sasuke who had walked ahead back.
The embarrassed Sasuke had now already recovered.
"Shishou."
Rengoku turned his head to look at Karin, "Karin has also been accepted as my disciple. She joined later than you."
"So from now on, Karin is your junior sister."
"You must show the demeanor of a senior brother."
Karin also obediently greeted Sasuke, "Senior brother Sasuke."
Sasuke's face instantly lit up with joy. He was originally the youngest at home, and one of the youngest in the clan too.
Everyone treated him like a little kid, and now there was actually someone younger than him.
[A/N: Karin's birth month is actually earlier than Sasuke's]
Sasuke immediately felt like he was given a responsibility and mission, and was very excited, "Junior sister Karin, I'll teach you ninjutsu and throwing techniques in the future…"
Bonk!
Before Sasuke could finish speaking, Rengoku knocked him on the head.
"I'm still here. How can it be your turn to teach?"
Sasuke rubbed his head a little embarrassed, but the look he gave Karin was obviously more intimate than before.
'I've become an older brother too.'
Karin also gave Sasuke a sweet smile.
Rengoku took one in each hand, holding the hands of the two little beans and walked forward.
"You two just call each other by name, that's fine."
"Karin, you first finish recognizing all the characters, only then can I teach you other things."
"Sasuke, this task is up to you."
Sasuke, being entrusted with an important task for the first time, seemed to have been given a sacred mission, full of seriousness on his face.
"Understood, Shishou!"
