Otherwise, there wouldn’t be hierarchical divisions among humans, and there wouldn’t be differences in strength among ninjas.

"I’ve already learned everything from school."

If someone else said this, Hakushi might rebut, but he knows the truth about his daughter Ichihime.

Her birth inherently signifies the extraordinary.

He still remembers, when Ichihime was born, those vibrant and radiant Sharingan eyes.

In this regard, no matter which Ninja School, it’s difficult to accept such a level of a prodigy.

This is something Hakushi is well aware of.

Ichihime’s early education has been completed ahead of schedule, and it took her less than a year to memorize all kinds of knowledge from the Ninja School of the Land of Demons.

Higher grade knowledge was all completed through self-study.

Last year, Ichihime complained to him about this more than once.

This is also where Hakushi feels troubled.

Such a genius daughter sometimes brings unnecessary pressure to him.

Honestly, many times, he doesn’t know how to handle Ichihime’s issues.

Complete freedom fears she might pick up some bad habits, complete restriction would suppress her inherent nature, and constrain her potential.

No matter what he does, there’s a sense of gain and loss.

At one moment, Hakushi truly felt as if he had aged, becoming indecisive about his daughter’s future.

Therefore, when Ichihime brought this up again in front of him, Hakushi felt it was time to take it seriously.

"So, what do you want to do?"

Hakushi thinks it’s best to listen to Ichihime’s opinions.

The so-called nine-year curriculum is only aimed at the normal range of people.

For a prodigy like Ichihime, it naturally cannot limit her growth.

In the Ninja School of the Land of Demons, there are many who skip grades.

Even though Hakushi has always advocated the nine-year educational model, many times, he feels it’s too procrastinating and can’t bring out the unique talents of each special genius.

Considering these factors, it’s natural to grant some special students privileges within the rules to escape the shackles of school early.

And Ichihime is a prodigy above geniuses.

Hakushi also knows Ichihime will soon finish learning everything in the Ninja School, just didn’t expect that day to come so soon.

Therefore, Ichihime’s own opinions become particularly important.

Listen to Ichihime’s ideas for now, if feasible, Hakushi will improve Ichihime’s education form within the rules.

"Practical research."

"An interesting idea."

This was within Hakushi’s expectations, and he was also satisfied with Ichihime’s judgment.

Believing that after learning the Ninja School’s knowledge, the next step is to more efficiently use what she has learned, summarize, and verify her abilities to what extent.

It’s quite a rational judgment, not blindly dismissing everything.

This is a good habit.

Hakushi’s biggest worry is that Ichihime overly believes in her power, fostering unnecessary arrogance.

Excessive arrogance can easily destroy a person.

So far, Ichihime hasn’t picked up these bad habits.

"Since that’s the case, which aspect do you think you should start verifying?"

Hakushi continues to ask.

This kind of question is difficult for most children to answer, but since Ichihime came to him proactively, she must have already thought of a plan.

What he needs to do is not to block Ichihime but complete the shortcomings in her plan.

If the capable is not avoided due to family ties, Ichihime, having such talents, would be perfect as his successor.

At least for the next few decades, Hakushi feels no need to worry about having no successors.

"Ninja."

Ichihime gave this answer.

Hakushi didn’t speak, only calmly sipped his tea, carefully stared at Ichihime’s still immature face.

After a long while, Hakushi said to Ichihime, "How about I send you to Hidden Mist Village as an exchange student?"

Since practical research on ninjas is the goal, staying only in the Land of Demons won’t provide a broader perspective.

Having lived in the Land of Demons for years, Ichihime has already understood this country’s conditions quite thoroughly.

And with his deliberate guidance, she has some insights into certain secrets of the Land of Demons.

Therefore, placing the practical research within the Land of Demons wouldn’t allow Ichihime to gain broader perspectives.

Only by going to a foreign place can Ichihime gain better growth.

Knowing others and knowing oneself leads to invincibility in countless battles.

An excellent leader cannot rely solely on brute force.

Consideration of a country’s culture, system, livelihood, commerce, etc., is essential.

Fourth Mizukage Yagura of Hidden Mist Village is in an allied relationship with Hakushi; sending Ichihime to study at the Ninja School there reassures him, knowing Yagura would definitely ensure Ichihime’s safety.

Moreover, Hidden Mist Village is currently undergoing a lively revival phase, which holds meaningful practical research value.

"I would rather go to Konoha than Hidden Mist. It’s the origin of the one country one village system and laid the first cornerstone of the Ninja Village era. Going there has greater significance."

Ichihime’s reply doesn’t seem like a joke.

Ichihime’s answer surprised Hakushi greatly, making him frown as if contemplating.

"Moreover, didn’t you and the others study in that village in the past? I want to see it for myself."
