Ninja School Focus Interview
Interview with Inuzuka from Class A
When I was a child, my grandfather used to say this to me:
"Little Jaw, it doesn't matter if you are a ninja or anything else. Be sure to aim high and work hard."
Now I have something to say to my grandfather in heaven.
Grandpa...
Did you achieve what you expected of me...?

[Inuzuka-kun Confessed Again? The Truth Behind This Losing Streak!]
The rejected Inuzuka-kun walked back to his position in despair.
As soon as he returned to his seat, Ryo Uchiha, sitting next to him, looked at him and smiled, "Inuzuka-jaw, you failed again, huh?"
Inuzuka's jaw widened, "Why are you so innocent..."
"What innocence? I saw you confess to the girl in the next class the day before yesterday and get rejected on the spot," Ryo teased.
Inuzuka's jaw flushed, and the blue veins on his forehead popped out as he argued, "How can you call it a confession when you're just inviting someone to eat?"
This caused the whole class to burst out laughing, and the classroom was filled with cheerful chatter.
A little while later, the black-faced Uncle Nishimura walked in. The second period was still his class. In fact, over the next few days, most of the Ninja School's courses were going to be arranged by Uncle Nishimura.
Why, you ask?
Because most of the ninjas had been sent to the battlefield, and the remaining teachers in the school were few and far between.
"It's alright, everyone, back to your seats," Uncle Nishimura said, holding a thick stack of paper.
"Ah, I'm too frustrated. We have an exam right after school starts?" The little kids, who were excited moments ago, now sighed in despair at the sight of the thick pile of white paper in his hand.
"No," Uncle Nishimura shook his head. "We won't be doing anything else in this class. We just need to write down everyone's dreams. Do it well."
Dreams? This kind of thing had already been written down in the first grade. Uchiha Tatsumi felt a bit confused.
"When you first came to the ninja school, write down your dreams," Uncle Nishimura gestured to the papers in his hand. "Now, six years have passed, and you're about to graduate. Soon, you'll become a full-fledged ninja."
"I think many of you might have forgotten your original dream of becoming a ninja."
As Uncle Nishimura handed out the blank papers, he continued, "Look at your dreams from the past."
"Six years have passed, and many people's dreams have changed," he said, continuing to distribute the papers. "Now, write down your current dreams."
Uchiha Tatsumi nodded. Dreams are a beautiful thing. They are beautiful because they hold the purest form of truth, goodness, and beauty in people.
Dreams exist only in the imagination, but a well-planned, achievable goal is an ideal—not just a dream.
So, Uchiha Tatsumi didn't really like the word "dream." He preferred the word "ideal," because ideals could be realized through planning, resources, and hard work.
But speaking of it, he had already forgotten what the dream he wrote down six years ago had been.
"Minato, what did you write six years ago?"
Minato smiled and was about to answer, but Uchiha Tatsumi stopped him. "Okay, no need to say it. I already know."
"..."
Uchiha Tatsumi knew that Minato had always wanted to be Hokage. Rope Tree's dream was probably the same.
Minato and Rope Tree—whether you call it a dream or an ideal—both aimed for the position of Hokage.
However, with competitors like his teacher Orochimaru, Kushina, Hyuga Himeji, and others, the competition for Hokage was quite intense for Minato and Rope Tree.
Oh, I almost forgot about a dream-chasing guy named Shimura Danzo.
Speaking of Danzo, he's quite the inspiration. He's like the older person who takes the college entrance exam year after year in real life.
If Konoha had headlines, it would read like this: "Shimura Danzo, 50 years old, has participated in the Hokage campaign four times. Although he has been repeatedly defeated, his persistence is admirable. We look forward to his eventual success."
In the end, Danzo really did succeed. This is truly an inspirational story.
Sadly, that inspirational old man was ultimately killed by terrorists. On the day of the attack, a terrorist organization called Akatsuki claimed responsibility for the incident.
Of course, according to a certain conspiracy theory, this old man, Shimura Danzo, stole the Naruto position from a certain second-generation movie star, who held a grudge and had his friend take care of Danzo for good.
This event highlights the importance of anti-terrorism efforts.
"Mikoto, what did you write?" Uchiha Tatsumi asked Mikoto. Mikoto smiled but didn't answer.
As for the little fox, Kushina, Uchiha Tatsumi didn't ask her, since she had only joined the Ninja School in second grade.
Uchiha Tatsumi was also curious about what he had written six years ago. What could it be?
Then, Uncle Nishimura glanced at him strangely and handed him his paper.
It was written on the paper—May the Ninja World Achieve Nuclear Peace.
Wow, he didn't expect to be so enlightened six years ago.
Uchiha Tatsumi blushed slightly; he really had a second-year middle school vibe back then.
Uchiha Tatsumi noticed Mikoto was tightly clutching her white paper, not wanting him to see what she had written.
A rare look of shyness crossed her face, and she said, "Don't… don't look!"
Mikoto refused to show it to Uchiha Tatsumi.
"Mikoto, I like you the most," Uchiha Tatsumi said to Mikoto.
"To what extent?" Mikoto still hid her paper.
"Like a bear who loves spring," Uchiha Tatsumi said after thinking for a moment.
"A bear in spring...? What does that mean?" Mikoto tilted her head, her cheeks glowing a soft pink under the sunlight.
"In the spring fields, you're walking alone, and a cute bear comes across your path. The bear has soft fur and big round eyes. It just looks up at you and says, 'Miss, hello. Can you roll around with me?' Then, you hug the little bear and roll down a hill covered in clover, playing all day. Doesn't that sound great?"
Mikoto thought for a while and then nodded, "That does sound great."
"I like you so much," Uchiha Tatsumi said softly.
After saying this, he saw Mikoto's face growing redder and redder, and finally, she gave up resistance, lying down on the desk.
"Okay... okay, you can take a look."
Mikoto handed Uchiha Tatsumi the white paper, just enough for him to glance at it.
Then she quickly snatched it back, and Uchiha Tatsumi noticed that her ears were turning bright red.

Mikoto's Ideal Six Years Ago: "I want to protect the one I love."
Mikoto's Current Ideal: "I have found the one I love! I will protect you with my life."

Uchiha Tatsumi was silent for a while, then reached out and gently patted Mikoto's head.
"Thank you for loving me so much."

Watergate, who was sitting beside them, clutched his chest in agony. He was clearly wounded by the "single dog" attack that just hit him.
Hurry... Someone, think of a way to interrupt them. Otherwise, the pain of being single will only increase!
Mizumon, with sharp eyes, quickly realized that Uchiha Tatsumi hadn't written down his dream yet, and said, "Tatsumi, you haven't written anything. The teacher will be back soon."
"Right," Uchiha Tatsumi replied, raising his pen. Under Mikoto's curious gaze and Minato's helpless look, he wrote the following on the remaining half of the paper:
"I want to be a spring bear."
