Sasuke summons demon Cam
Permalink

Orochimaru is making Sasuke do his dirty work again. At least this time it only involves painstakingly drawing out a seal large enough to fit a person on a smoothed surface prepared specifically for this, rather than any wet-work. Sealing is dangerous if he puts a single stroke wrong, of course, but it's unlikely to lead to him being disciplined by his 'teacher.' Intentionally sabotaging it to spare Orochimaru's next victim wouldn't work here, after all.

He finishes the last stroke on the inner circle, sharingan active to make sure it's precise enough.

Cam's clone army small tactical squad has found him books and movies on learning disabilities and education, among other topics!

Oh yeah, that'll be really good for his plans!

His dad was Hokage, even if only for a year, so he also ropes him in to help figure out plans.

Cam can listen in on this while piloting.

His dad has some insights on how the genin teams even work and where they came from - they started at the end of the Warring States Era, before the Academy was even founded, as a way to get children from different clans training together. Back then, there wasn't really the same chuunin-jounin split, so the teachers were mostly about chuunin-equivalent. Teams used to also be six to one teacher. Then, because the early Leaf shinobi were still having kids at rates more typical when there'd been higher mortality, there was a population boom - and then when birth rates dropped for a while they had enough adults that it was reasonable to pull a significant portion to be teachers. But then they had trouble switching to a new system as the adult/child ratios evened out some.

"Huh! I could see how that'd fall out this way, then."

"I think we should be able to move to class sizes of eight under a chuunin from twelve on? For at least some things - it probably makes sense to keep larger classes together for things that don't vary a lot with learning style, and I think students benefit from having more than one teacher."

Permalink

"Many of them do, yeah, lets them sort of shop around even if they can't drop the teachers they don't work well with right away."

Permalink

"That'd be nice - I only got along with a few of the teachers I ever had."

Permalink

"Me too!"

Permalink

"Though for a while it might not scale well with teaching everyone to use chakra, unless I turn out to be a good teacher and can make like a thousand teaching clones, which'd be fun!"

Permalink

"If you would find that fun I am sure it would be an amazing contribution to the field!"

Permalink

"I haven't tried it! Might be fun though."

Permalink

"It'd make the concept of rating your teacher kind of weird... 'Ah, who'd you have?' 'I had 505-211-1...'"

Permalink

He snickers. "What percent of teachers were Naruto each year would be a national statistic."

Permalink

"Of course then if anything ever happened to you there'd be a huge budgetary problem unless you insisted on being paid by the clone to begin with."

Permalink

"Hm... Maybe if I'm paid by the clone but then I donate all the clone salaries to educational charities? Might still end up with a budget problem but somebody could also make me an undead like dad? Since undead can make clones."

Permalink

"There you go. Eternal educational purgatory for you."

Permalink

"I can get dad to drop my clones off at all the schools and dismiss them at the end of the day to save on commutes, too."

"I think eventually we'd have enough other teachers trained I wouldn't be doing it for eternity, though, but I might not mind a few decades if I like teaching at all."

Permalink

Cam giggles. "Well, do you have any reason to think you'd be a good teacher?"

Permalink

"I actually had a couple of kids declare me their boss back when I was twelve and they were like seven and I taught them a few techniques? That they learned pretty fast, and other than them following me around - the teaching part was fun?"

Permalink

"Awww, that's adorable."

Permalink

"I should probably check in on them next time I'm talking to anyone from the Leaf..."

Permalink

"They might miss you!"

Permalink

"Probably do. Hopefully they found someone else to play tutor..."

Permalink

"Would they be in teams by now?"
