Uchiha's Blade

"Blade of Uchiha"

Mana looked at the boy next to Sasuke and raised an eyebrow: "Is this the guy you said is working very hard in physical skills?"

This is Sasuke's new friend, named Rock Lee. He is a child with a watermelon head, a pair of thick eyebrows, round eyes, and unusually eye-catching lower eyelashes.

Sasuke had mentioned him before, and it was said that he met him while doing taijutsu training.

The Uchiha family has its own dedicated training ground. In the past, Sasuke rarely went to training grounds outside the clan.

Ninjutsu is just that. If you want to practice taijutsu, the training ground in the Uchiha clan is naturally better. Not only are the facilities complete, but clan members can also compete with each other and communicate with each other.

However, since he became good friends with Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Neji, Sasuke rarely went to the training ground in the clan, and even Neji rarely went to the training ground in the Hyuga clan. The three boys were together in Konoha Find a place to practice outside.

Mana also found an old training ground located in the forest.

"I built it myself back then!"

Mana looked at the small venue that had been in disrepair and had long been dilapidated, with a nostalgic expression: "When I first started practicing Taijutsu with Mr. Hashirama, the first thing I did was to build a training ground for myself."

From felling trees to transporting wood to making wooden piles, you have to do all the manual work yourself. During this period, you have to face various restrictions. For example, when cutting down trees, you have to choose thick and large trees far away and carry them back. You can't take a detour at that time, you need to carry the wood directly over the waterfall and cliff and come back.

Mana really suffered a lot at the beginning.

But the training ground she built is actually pretty good: "Did you see the little pavilion over there? Teacher Hashirama made the pavilion out of wood, but the tables and stools inside were made by me, as well as the cabinets for storing things. ,Ah, they’re all broken.”

So Zhenna clapped her hands: "Then, your task is to repair this place again!"

I heard that this was once the place where Mana trained with the First Hokage. This ordinary forest clearing suddenly seemed unusual. The three children were full of energy and worked for several days before finally repairing everything.

They also have a powerful quality inspection expert. Neji rolled his eyes and saw that everything was wrong and everything was not done well. After that, they even invited Gaara to come and make a sand field.

Gaara is young but very sensible. He knows that as a Jinchuriki of Sand Ninja Village, he cannot wander around Konoha Village at will, so he stays at home on weekdays and rarely goes out. This time, he has an extra training ground. , he was also very happy, as if he had a secret base with his friends, he worked extra hard, and even learned the skill of sanding the rough surface of wood to make it smoother and more beautiful.

So the final result of this training ground was even better than what Mana did back then.

After the training ground in the forest was repaired, Mana always asked the shadow clone to wait for them at the training ground and accompany them to practice together.

But she doesn't need to keep an eye on these children all day long. Besides, they still have to go to school, and the school curriculum can't be left behind.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Sasuke said that they had met a new partner and they met by chance on the way to the forest training ground.

New partner is Rock Lee, but everyone is more accustomed to calling him Xiao Li.

It is said that he is a child who cannot use ninjutsu, but still wants to become a ninja, so he works hard to practice taijutsu.

Sasuke thought, how could there be anyone in the world who couldn't use ninjutsu?It's not like Xiao Li doesn't have chakra.

So on this day, when Mana came to the forest training ground again, Sasuke soon appeared with Xiao Li.

Compared with the lively Sasuke, Xiao Li looked a little nervous at this time and acted cautiously. He glanced at Mana carefully: "Hokage-sama."

He never imagined that he could actually see Naruto. He couldn't believe it when Sasuke told him about it before.

But Xiao Li really wants to become a ninja. If he has any hope for this, maybe Naruto is his sustenance.

Even though he thought so, when he actually saw Mana, he still felt like he was dreaming.

Xiao Li did not look down on Mana just because she looked young. Everyone in the village knew that although the current Hokage was young, she was recognized as the strongest in Konoha. She was also a disciple of the first Hokage, no matter where she came from. Said, they are all the best candidates for Hokage.

After Mana became Hokage, everyone discovered that this young-looking Hokage was indeed very capable.

The Konoha Council will give ordinary villagers the opportunity to participate in the discussion of village policies. Master Mana is right. Without ordinary villagers, how could Konoha be as prosperous as it is today?Konoha is a village where ninjas and ordinary people live together. It belongs to ninjas and ordinary villagers. The publication of the Peace Daily has given everyone an additional channel to understand the various policies of the village. Everyone no longer has to worry about the various decisions of the village. With a confused look on his face, he could only listen to some rumors.

Peace Daily has also set up a special Naruto column. Everyone can contribute, express their opinions and views on the village, or ask some questions that they care about. The hot issues that everyone is most concerned about will usually be found in the next issue of Peace Daily. answer.

The Hokage personally answered everyone's doubts, and no matter what kind of questions were asked, the Hokage did not get angry and explained patiently. Everyone suddenly felt that this was a more friendly Hokage than the Third Hokage.

And although Naruto is an Uchiha, he was the one who solved the problem of the Uchiha Guards.

To be honest, everyone had a lot of dissatisfaction with the security team before, but it was hard to say it out. Now Uchiha is no longer responsible for the security of the village, but has set up an additional Konoha security team. In addition to ninjas, there are also ordinary villagers. It not only makes everyone feel friendly and friendly, but also provides new jobs and increases income.

Not to mention the establishment of Konoha Elementary School, which gave ordinary villagers' children the opportunity to receive high-quality education. How could everyone not support Naruto?

Xiao Li didn't have any relatives from the village's senior officials. What he knew about Naruto basically came from studying at the ninja school and what he read in newspapers.

Therefore, he also admires such a powerful Hokage.

Now that he saw Naruto with his own eyes, he was so nervous that he forgot what to say.

Mana is always very gentle to the children in her village. She smiled and said to Xiao Li: "Don't be nervous, Sasuke said, do you have something to ask me?"

"um, I……"

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Hokage-sama, can you become a ninja without knowing how to use ninjutsu?"

He looked at Mana hopefully.

He had been laughed at countless times before. A crane tail who could not use ninjutsu was not qualified to become a ninja, but that could not make him give up. He had always gritted his teeth and insisted on practicing, but if even Mana denied him, Xiao Li didn't know that he Can I hold on any longer?

When Mana heard this question, he blinked his eyes and asked: "Why can't you become a ninja if you don't know ninjutsu? The person who said this must not have studied history well, and must not have carefully read the heroic deeds of the past?"

"Eh?"

Xiao Li was stunned.

Mana said: "I remember that the expansion courses of the ninja school included the deeds of heroic ninjas of the past, right? Although there are no exam requirements, didn't they all take the opportunity to sleep? To put it further, I'm afraid you don't feel anything about the ninjas in the first Hokage era. Well, let’s talk more recently. The former Jounin of Konoha, Matt Dai was a ninja who was good at physical skills. In the third ninja world war, he once faced seven Ninja Swordsmen by himself. Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Each one of them can be regarded as a top jounin when compared individually. However, in order to protect the seedlings of Konoha, Matt Dai sacrificed himself, but he also turned the seven people with ninja swords into three people. In addition, , Hatake Jounin's father, the former White Fang of Konoha, was not famous in the ninja world for his powerful ninjutsu. He was a swordsman. Even within the Uchiha clan, there were some ninjas who focused on physical training, so what? What if you can’t become a powerful ninja just by relying on physical skills?”

Xiao Li's eyes lit up brightly: "In other words, in other words, can I become a powerful ninja by relying only on physical skills?"

Mana touched his watermelon-rind head: "Of course, if you can be as powerful as Matt Dai or White Fang, you will be a very powerful ninja."

Xiao Li took a step back and gave her a [-]-degree bow: "Lord Hokage, thank you very much! You don't know how important your affirmation is to me. I..."

When he said this, his voice was choked with tears.

Zhenna hurriedly patted his back: "Don't cry. If you practice so hard, you will definitely become a powerful ninja if you want to. However, physical skills cannot be achieved by just practicing hard. If you don't pay attention to the methods, , but it may damage the body.”

She said, waving to Sasuke: "You have also started to learn medical ninjutsu recently. Have you finished reading the notes I gave you about using medical ninjutsu techniques to assist in taijutsu practice?"

Sasuke said: "I finished reading it a few days ago, and I even practiced it carefully."

Mana smiled and said, "Just practicing on yourself doesn't count."

She pointed at Xiao Li: "This child has worked too hard in physical training. I will leave him to you from now on. I will check his body regularly. I will treat it as checking your homework."

Sasuke nodded immediately: "Don't worry, leave it to me, it'll be no problem!"

Zhenna then said to Xiao Li who looked touched: "You don't have to thank me. After all, I should be the one thanking you."

Xiao Li looked at her in surprise: "Hokage-sama?"

Mana said: "What you encountered gave me a warning. It's not your fault that you can't use ninjutsu. You can become a powerful ninja by practicing hard. But don't the current ninja schools even have such common sense? They blindly focus on ninjutsu." In the study of ninjutsu, the focus of the assessment is on ninjutsu. Although ninjutsu improves strength faster than taijutsu, which requires long-term polishing, for genin, learning a few powerful ninjutsu will immediately give you good attack power. , but the future of a village cannot be cultivated in this way alone. I have asked them to adjust the assessment system of the Ninja School once before. Now it seems that the Ninja School has accumulated many shortcomings in the past few decades. We cannot simply ask them to change it within the school. Just change it, the ninja school system needs to be reconsidered and undergo a profound reform."

She said to Xiao Li: "Gold like you shouldn't be buried by this kind of lazy education."

Xiao Li burst into tears and shed two wide tears of kelp.

Oh my god, Hokage-sama actually said he was 'gold'!

He has received more recognition and encouragement in a short period of time today than in all his previous lives combined.

Zhenna waved her hand: "Okay, stop talking, let's start today's practice."

On this day, even with the addition of Xiao Li, Mana didn't spend much time.

But Xiao Li secretly planned that he would not come over often when the Hokage was around in the future.

He is not the Hokage-sama's disciple, so why bother always bothering the Hokage-sama to guide him?Being able to get such words today is enough to satisfy him.

From now on...he will definitely practice harder in the future, and show the Hokage-sama the progress he can be proud of.

...Even if this is just the shadow clone of Lord Hokage.

It was already evening when Mana released her shadow clone. Sasuke waved to everyone: "I have to leave first. Father said that I should go back early after finishing my training today."

Knowing that Sasuke had a strict father in his family, everyone was not embarrassed. Naruto asked him: "Then don't forget that we will practice shuriken together tomorrow!"

"Know it!"

Sasuke ran away quickly without looking back.

This day is indeed a day worth looking forward to for Uchiha Fugaku.

Since Uchiha Shisui gradually grew up, Uchiha Fugaku, who knew that Uchiha Shisui was the Hokage's favorite candidate to be the next clan leader, began to gradually delegate power, taking care of less and less things, and naturally he had more and more free time. There are many things, but Uchiha Fugaku has fewer things to do, but there are more things to do with other people in the family.

Putting aside Sasuke and Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku had long felt that these two sons were no longer his.

However, even his wife, who had always been gentle and considerate of her family, became busy, and Uchiha Fugaku found it difficult to accept it.

But Uchiha Mikoto's reputation in the Konoha Council was really good, which greatly improved the image of the Uchiha clan outside the country. Even if Uchiha Fugaku felt sad, it was hard to say that Uchiha Mikoto was not allowed to go out.

But today is different.

Today is Uchiha Mikoto's day off. She is particularly free, and she had promised Uchiha Fugaku that she would cook a big meal.

Uchiha Fugaku, who has not enjoyed the tender care of his wife for a long time, can look forward to it.

So on this day, Uchiha Fugaku returned home early after finishing his family affairs, just waiting to enjoy his wife's tenderness.

Then he saw the empty table, the cold kitchen, and Uchiha Mikoto's even colder black eyes.

Uchiha Fugaku suddenly had a bad premonition: "Mikoto, what's wrong?"

Uchiha Mikoto said: "Have you seen the kid named Lei from Konoha Elementary School?"

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head blankly: "That has nothing to do with our Uchiha clan. Besides, I have been busy trying to persuade those die-hards recently and I haven't paid attention to uh... what happened to the child?"

Uchiha Mikoto said: "I saw him when I passed by Konoha Elementary School today. It's true as others said. That kid looks so much like Sasuke. He looks even more like Sasuke's brother than Itachi."

Uchiha Mikoto paused and continued: "Now people outside are saying that the child might be Sasuke's long-lost brother. I don't know that I have a son, but do you know?"

Uchiha Fugaku: "——!!!"

The usually unsmiling Uchiha clan leader almost jumped out of fright.

"I'm not me, I'm innocent, Mikoto, you have to believe me!"

Uchiha Mikoto: "Why are you panicking?"

Uchiha Fugaku: "...QAQ"

My son is gone. Wife, I can’t lose you!
