Naruto's strongest wooden escape

"It seems that you have been flattering Danzo a lot in the past five years." The Third Hokage joked happily.

"How dare I flatter Elder Danzo." Uchiha Matsuri smiled and said jokingly, "Lord Hokage, you have wronged me."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the first mission I assigned you." Without talking about this topic again, the Third Hokage directly changed the subject.

"Matsura, the first task I assign to you is to lead the new graduating class of the ninja school." Speaking of the task, the Third Hokage's face became much more serious.

"Teacher?"

Uchiha Matsuri's heart tightened.

Before Uchiha Matsuri came to the Hokage's office, he had wondered more than once what the first task assigned to him by the Third Hokage would be.

Unexpectedly, the first task assigned to him by the Third Hokage was to lead the graduating class of the ninja school.

This was something Uchiha Matsuri had never thought about.

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry, can you change the mission?" Uchiha Matsuri asked in a gentle tone.

Contrary to the expectations of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Matsuri rejected the task assigned to him.

In the 41 years since the village was founded, the ninjas in Konoha Village dare not disobey any tasks assigned by the Hokage.

Even Uchiha Matsuri didn't know that he was the first ninja who dared to refuse the Hokage's mission arrangement.

However, the Third Hokage did not show much anger at Uchiha Matsuri's rejection.

"Matsura, I know why you said that." The Third Hokage patted Uchiha Matsuri on the shoulder and showed a kind smile, "You must look down on this mission."

During the five years of "Root", none of the S-level and A-level missions performed by Uchiha Matsuri was a life-and-death situation, and one could lose one's life if not careful.

This makes it difficult for the relaxed task of leading a class to attract Uchiha Matsuri's interest.

Seeing that Uchiha Matsuri didn't reply, the Third Hokage looked into Uchiha Matsuri's eyes and continued: "What's more, once you become a leading Jonin, it is very likely that you will not be able to complete other tasks assigned by Danzo for two or three years. ”

"It is true that nothing can be hidden from Hokage-sama." Uchiha Matsuri lowered his head and had to admit that the Third Hokage was right. Uchiha Matsuri really looked down on this mission.

"Matsura, compared to you, Minato and Kushina agreed to the task of leading the class very easily." The Third Hokage picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.

"The two of them..." After hearing the names of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Matsuri suddenly raised his head, as if he heard something noteworthy.

"That's right, Minato, Kushina, and the kid Shikaku of your generation have all agreed to be the leading Jonin." The Third Hokage smiled.

Seeing that the Uchiha Festival still showed no expression, the Third Hokage further explained:

"Msuri, you also know that the ninjas in our village who are suitable to be jounin leaders have basically gone to the front line. Therefore, the task of leading the team will fall on your generation of ninjas..."

"Stop talking, Hokage-sama, I accept the mission." Uchiha Matsuri interrupted the Third Hokage. .

"Very good." The Third Hokage patted Uchiha Matsuri's shoulder and reached out to take off Uchiha Matsuri's mask.

"Lord Hokage..."

After noticing this move of the Third Hokage, Uchiha Matsuri subconsciously wanted to stop the Third Hokage. However, the Third Hokage had already taken off Uchiha Matsuri's mask first.

"In the next three years, you will not wear this mask." The Third Hokage put away the Uchiha Festival mask, "You will not wear this mask for the next three years."

My mission is to teach this graduating class with all my heart. "

"But Elder Danzo..."

"I will explain to him." The Third Hokage reassured Uchiha Matsuri, "Just calm down and do your job."

"Yes." Seeing that the Third Hokage had made up his mind, Uchiha Matsuri said softly.

June.

It's the month of Ninja School graduation.

Graduation day.

Just like eight years ago, the third generation Hokage and the three elders all went to the Ninja School and gave an exciting speech.

The content of the speech remains unchanged - inheriting and carrying forward the "will of fire".

In the audience, even though they hadn't seen each other for five years, Minato Namikaze recognized Uchiha Matsuri at a glance.

"Matsura, I didn't expect that you would lead the graduating class like us." Minato Namikaze said happily to Uchiha Matsuri.

"It's not Hokage-sama's order. Do I dare not accept his order?" Uchiha Matsuri smiled.

"By the way, Minato, do you know where Muzi went?" Uchiha Matsuri hurriedly asked Minato Namikaze.

After coming out of the Hokage's office, Uchiha Matsuri went to Senbonmuko's home to look for Senbonmuko.

However, every time I go there, I see locked doors and unoccupied houses.

"She went to the front line." Namikaze Minato knew what Uchiha Matsuri wanted to do, and said to Uchiha Matsuri with a look of regret.

"That's it." Uchiha Matsuri couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Matsura, you don't know, Muzi has been thinking about you every day for the past five years..." Minato Namikaze told some things that Uchiha Matsuri didn't know, and these things all showed that Senbonmuzi missed and missed Uchiha Matsuri. Never give up.

"I owe her a lot." Uchiha Matsuri lowered his head and muttered.

Namikaze Minato's words undoubtedly aggravated Uchiha Matsuri's guilt towards Senbonmuko.

Not to mention the five years of waiting, just talking about the relationship between the two five or six years ago, Uchiha Matsuri did not pay as much as Senbonkiko.

Every time Uchiha Matsuri was injured, it affected Senbonmuzi's nerves. In the end, Uchiha Matsuri didn't want to tell Senbonmuzi about his injuries.

"Ji, you still know how to come back."

More than ten meters away, Uzumaki Kushina saw Uchiha Matsuri and ran all the way. Just when Uchiha Matsuri wanted to greet Uzumaki Kushina, Uzumaki Kushina suddenly punched Uchiha Matsuri.

Although Uchiha Matsuri had long noticed Uzumaki Kushina's intention, Uchiha Matsuri did not dodge and received Kushina Uzumaki's punch very cooperatively.

"You bastard, do you know how hard Muzi waited for you?" Uzumaki Kushina shouted excitedly.

Seeing that Uzumaki Kushina wanted to continue teaching Uchiha Matsuri, Namikaze Minato quickly hugged Uzumaki Kushina.

"Kushina, I just taught him a lesson, and he already knows he was wrong."

In the eyes of others, Uchiha Matsuri was indeed wrong in this matter.

However, the Uchiha Festival was a last resort.

Among the precepts of the "root" ninja, the first one is to give up all emotions and six desires and support the execution of the mission wholeheartedly.

Therefore, after entering the "root" department, in order to prevent Danzo Shimura from threatening Uchiha Matsuri by kidnapping Senbongiko, Uchiha Matsuri never visited Senbonmuko.

In the final analysis, Uchiha Matsuri and Senbonmuko are both the victims, but on the surface, Uchiha Matsuri is more like the perpetrator.
