Konoha: The New Will of Fire

Bang!

The grove behind the ninja school.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, two figures collided at extremely fast speeds, and then quickly dispersed, causing waves of air to roll.

The diamond-like dry light sparkles, especially under the afterglow of the setting sun, reflecting a slightly dazzling light.

shoo...

Xue Ji raised her hand and threw two kunai, causing a harsh whistling sound to pierce the air.

Gan Qiao did not dodge, and rushed straight towards Xue Ji, letting the two kunai shoot at her body. There were two crisp sounds, and the fire was all over the place, and the kunai was bounced to the ground.

Taking the opportunity to reach Xue Ji, Ganqiao took out a kunai and slashed it at Xue Ji's throat. With a pop, Xue Ji turned into a puff of white smoke.

Shadow clone!

Before Gan Qiao could react, Xue Ji rushed out from the ground and punched Gan Qiao on the chin, knocking Gan Qiao away and falling heavily to the ground.

"It hurts"

Gan Qiao got up from the ground and rubbed his chin. Even with diamond-shaped skin, he still felt pain.

By now, Qian Qiao has probably figured out the gap between him and Xue Ji. In terms of ninjutsu and experience, he is no match, but he is better because of his strong defense. Xue Ji's strange power cannot break the defense. Of course, the pain must be some.

This gave Qian Qiao confidence that Xue Ji's strength had long surpassed that of a genin, and she had the strength of a chunin.

Just when Gan Qiao was about to continue, Xue Ji suddenly stopped: "That's it for today."

Gan Qiao was de-diamonded, and the two of them left the woods together. It was obvious that Xue Ji was in a good mood today, and she invited Gan Qiao to eat ramen together.

"Uncle Yile"

Qian Qiao opened the curtain and shouted loudly.

Ichiraku, who was cutting side dishes, heard the shouting from behind and quickly turned around with a smile on his face.

"Isn't this a coincidence, ah, and Lady Xue Ji, welcome."

Qian Qiao looked at Xue Ji next to him in surprise: "Xue Ji... Sir..."

"The Senju clan is the largest landlord in this commercial street. Half of the shops have to pay rent every year, including Ichiraku Ramen House," Senju Yukihime said calmly.

Rich man, let's be friends... Gan Qiao shouted in his heart.

The street where Ichiraku Ramen is located is one of the most prosperous streets in Konoha. The Senju clan actually owns half of the industry. How much does it cost?

It must be worth at least several hundred million taels. Sure enough, the Thousand Hands clan is a rich man.

As the founding clan of Konoha, with the first generation Hokage and the second generation Hokage, even if the Senju clan is declining, the industry will not wither, but will become more and more prosperous with Konoha.

Qian Qiao now finally understands that the entire ninja world knows that Tsunade is a big fat sheep, why are there so many people willing to lend money to Tsunade? She is the heir to the Senju clan. She has no money, but the Senju clan has money. .

Looking at Qian Qiao, Xue Ji said calmly: "This is just a small business."

Gan Qiao's mouth twitched, this is still a small business, how rich is the Thousand Hands clan?

"Well, we are friends, right..." Qian Qiao showed a flattering smile.

Xue Ji was stunned for a moment, glanced sideways at Ganqiao, raised her chin and said proudly: "No, you can at best be considered my servant."

"Uh…"

Qianqiao's head is full of black lines.

Seeing Qian Qiao's depressed look, Xue Ji chuckled, but immediately felt that this was wrong and immediately returned to her serious expression.

Fortunately, at this time, Uncle Ichiraku shouted with a smile while holding two bowls of ramen.

"The ramen for you two is ready, a small bowl of tonkotsu ramen and a large bowl of miso ramen. Please use it slowly."

"Thank you, Uncle Yile, I'm starting!"

Qian Qiao clasped his hands together, held his chopsticks and said something, and immediately joined in the fierce battle with the ramen, turning his grief and anger into appetite.

Compared to Gan Qiao's gobbling, Xue Ji ate much more elegantly, gently sizzling noodles.

Halfway through the meal, Gan Qiao asked, "Why do you want me to be your sparring partner?"

"Because you are the only one I know in the same period who can withstand my power," Xue Ji replied.

Qian Qiao nodded thoughtfully and said nothing.

After finishing the ramen, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. The streets were brightly lit and the crowds were bustling. The Third Ninja War did not affect the prosperity of the village much.

"This is your sparring fee."

Xue Ji dropped an envelope, flicked her ponytail, and turned to leave.

Gan Qiao took the envelope and felt the thickness of the coins inside. He was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, Xue Ji had disappeared into the crowd.

He opened the envelope and found a stack of banknotes inside. Qian Qian counted them and found that Xue Ji had given him 1 taels, which was obviously an overpayment. The price he had negotiated with Xue Ji was 2000 taels.

Wrong?Definitely not. It seemed that Xue Ji saw through that he wanted to borrow money and gave it to him on purpose.

Although she looks arrogant on the outside, she has a good heart on the inside and is a tsundere-type girl.

However, even a child has so many thoughts, Gan Qiao realized one thing - the maturity of a Naruto child cannot be judged by the thoughts of the past life. Ninjas who are used to witnessing death are far older in their hearts than in appearance.

On the way home, Qianqiao came to Tiantian Ninja Tool Shop and asked Uncle Changgu to continue buying diamonds.

All the 1 taels were used up before his hands could be warmed, which made Qian Qiao even more eager to graduate. Only by graduating and becoming a ninja could he get money.

The residence of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Compared with other ninja families, the Senju clan, which is located in the core area and occupies a large area, is extremely quiet at night, and most of the houses are dark.

As soon as Xue Ji returned home, before she could take a breath, she was taken to a courtyard by her servants.

Xue Ji knelt down on the smooth floor and respectfully shouted to the white-haired old woman in front of her: "Elder of the clan!"

The old man raised his head, revealing a wrinkled cheek, which was a sign of the passage of time. He looked at Xue Ji with a deep gaze and asked calmly: "Have you decided? Graduate early and join the war."

"Yes, clan elder."

Xue Ji nodded without hesitation.

"The battlefield is the fastest way to become stronger. You can never become strong in a comfortable environment. My grandfather and great grandfather both became stronger in fighting and founded Konoha.

I want to become Steel...no, surpass Lady Tsunade, I want to become the woman of Hokage and revitalize the Senju clan. "

Hearing this, the old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a deep voice: "What the Senju clan needs now is not a strong man, but to carry forward the bloodline. You are the last bloodline of the Senju clan clan. Since the death of Kato Dan, Tsunade has been abolished. .

If she had listened to me and chosen Jiraiya, who also bears the name of Sannin, she would not be like now, a medical ninja suffering from anemia..."

Xue Ji gritted her teeth and retorted loudly: "But without strong power, the Senju clan will completely disappear from the ninja world. This is what the clan elder told me."

The room suddenly fell into deathly silence.

After a while, the clan elder sighed: "The battlefield is not as simple as you think. Back then, Shengshu was just like you today, but he was killed by a detonating talisman trap on his first mission on the battlefield, but many People don’t know that two jonins from the Senju clan died with the rope tree that day..."

After a pause, the clan elder continued: "Hashirama-sama and Tobirama-sama led the Senju clan to defeat the Uchiha clan, becoming the strongest clan in the ninja world, and then established Konoha. This is an immortal achievement, and it also attracted many people. With hatred and jealousy, not everyone wants to see another strong person emerge from the Thousand Hands Clan."

"So I have to become stronger," Xue Ji said firmly.

The old man lowered his head, stared at Yukihime, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "The third generation sent his youngest son to the battlefield. As the founding family of Konoha, the Senju clan needs to set an example, so go ahead."

"kindness!"

Xue Ji beamed with joy.

Suddenly, the old man asked: "I heard that you have been very close to your deskmate recently."

Xue Ji was stunned for a moment and said coldly: "No, he and I are just classmates."

The old man nodded and said: "That's good. You have to remember that although the Senju clan is not as old-fashioned and unhuman as the Hyuga clan, the clan must marry within the clan, but you are the only bloodline of the clan, and you have some responsibilities. Bear it.”

"Yes, clan elder"

Xue Ji responded coldly and left the courtyard immediately.

The next day, ninja school.

The early graduation exam is being held with great enthusiasm. Unlike the graduation requirements for sixth-grade students who can graduate directly after completing the Three Body Techniques, students who graduate early have higher requirements. In addition to the basic Three Body Techniques, they also need to practice battles.

"It seems that the top management needs a group of ninjas who can immediately go into war," Qian Qiao thought to himself.

He looked up and looked around. In addition to the teachers from the ninja school, there were also some family ninjas and even two ANBU standing in the distance.

These should be the next guidance ninjas. As for the Anbu of the Third Hokage, they are probably observing their strength and evaluating which ones can be sent to the battlefield.

At this moment, a special jounin with the teleportation technique came to the training ground and announced the start of the battle.

"The first game, Uchiha Asuka versus Senju Yukihime"

The crowd was in commotion and talking.

"Hey! Is the first game going to be a showdown between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan, the two founding families of Konoha?"

"I haven't seen the members of the Thousand Hands Clan for several years."

"The Thousand Hands clan is all lonely now, and I don't know why?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to die? This issue is not something you and I can talk about."

Senju Yukihime entered the arena with her head raised calmly, in sharp contrast to the cold and arrogant Uchiha Asuka, and the two sides formed a seal of opposition.

"This is the annoying Uchiha Asuka that Obito talks about..."

Qian Qiao looked at this contemporary who had the arrogant and arrogant attitude of most Uchiha people with great interest.

There is no such name in the original work. He should be an unimportant character, or he died in the Third Ninja War.

"Senju Yukihime, I have heard about you, the only bloodline of the Senju clan. Back then, your Senju clan defeated our Uchiha clan. Today I will defeat you on behalf of the Uchiha clan," Uchiha Asuka said arrogantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Asuka's eyes turned blood red, and his Magatama Sharingan opened.

"What, I opened the Sharingan at the age of ten."

"The Uchiha clan has a genius."

The Chuunin and Jounin who were watching all around showed shocked expressions. The Uchiha ninjas held their heads high and were extremely proud.

A solemn look appeared on Senju Yukihime's face: "Imagatama Sharingan, I didn't expect there to be such a person in the same period. It seems I am going to take it seriously."
