naruto nightfall

"Grandpa Hokage, how is Tsukiye..." Naruto looked at Tsukiye and the Third Hokage and asked cautiously.

"Oh, no problem." The Third Hokage stroked his beard and asked:

"By the way, Naruto, how did he become like this?"

"I don't know either." Naruto scratched his head and thought hard:

"I went out to buy ramen. When I came back, he was like this. He couldn't wake up no matter how much I screamed. Then I found a human-shaped dent next to the door. I thought he was attacked by someone."

"That's it." The Third Hokage looked at the sky outside the window thoughtfully.

The next morning - Naruto's house!

"Ah -" Naruto was half-sitting on the floor, rubbing his nose vigorously.

"Are you cold?" Yue Ye, who was on the bed, woke up after hearing the sound and asked concernedly.

"Oh, it's okay." Naruto replied with a heavy nasal voice.

Yue Ye got up and got out of bed, walked to him and lifted him up and put him on the bed under Naruto's surprised gaze.

"You rest, I'll find medicine for you."

Not long after, Yue Ye came back with a handful of something that looked like herbs.

"What... is this?" Naruto asked with a little disgust.

"Medicine." Yue Ye answered while sitting next to Naruto.

"Where did you get this?" Naruto remembered that there seemed to be no such thing in the village, and there were quite a few weeds.

"Picked outside." Yue Ye answered truthfully.

"You actually went to the village..." Before he could finish his words, Naruto's mouth was blocked by the grass in Yue Ye's hand.

Fortunately, Tsukiye kneaded the herbs into a small ball, otherwise she might have choked Naruto to death.

Probably due to the effect of the medicine, Naruto fell asleep quickly after taking the medicine.

Because of last night's situation, Sandai asked for leave for the two of them, so they didn't have to report to school today, and Tsukiye stayed with Naruto.

The next day, after confirming that Naruto had recovered from his illness and was in good health, he and Naruto went to school to report.

During class, he found Iruka on a moonlit night.

"You mean you want to graduate early? Do you want me to test your graduation exam questions and ninjutsu right now?"

Iruka looked surprised and once again confirmed the purpose of Yue Ye in front of him to come to him.

"Yes." Yue Ye nodded happily. She had told him many times. If he still couldn't understand, she might have to prove it with actual actions.

"This..." Iruka was in trouble. If he were an ordinary student, he could have thought he was joking. Give him a scolding and send him back to class.

But the kid in front of me... is different from ordinary children!

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Iruka confirmed again.

"Seriously!" Yue Ye stared at Iruka with her big, sincere and serious eyes, for fear that he wouldn't see the same thing.

"Then... you can stay in class after school in the evening. I will go to find you with Teacher Mizuki then, and then we will conduct the next step of discussion and research!"

"Yeah, okay." Ye nodded, then turned and left.

Iruka looked at Yue Ye's leaving figure and couldn't help but complained in a low voice:

"By the way, doesn't this little brat even say thank you to me?"

After school, Tsukiye had asked Naruto to go back by himself. All the students in the class left school and went home one by one. Only he and Uchiha Sasuke were left sitting in their seats.

Tsukiye turned around and glanced at Sasuke lightly, then turned back again.

When Sasuke noticed Tsukiye looking at him, he glanced at him subconsciously, then turned his head and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

The two of them remained silent until the two instructors, Iruka and Mizuki, entered the classroom. The silence was not broken.

"Huh?" Iruka first glanced at Ye, and then noticed Sasuke sitting in the last row of the classroom.

"Teacher Iruka, I remember you were talking about Tsukiye alone, right?" Mizuki asked doubtfully.

"Yes, yes! Sasuke, why are you still here?" Iruka asked Sasuke, who was leaning on the table with his arms.

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on Yue Ye and he said calmly:

"Nothing, I'm just curious why he is still in the classroom even though school is over!"

Iruka scratched his head and smiled awkwardly and said:

"So that's it. In fact, Teacher Mizuki and I have something to do with him!"

Sasuke glanced at Mizuki, who immediately agreed and said:

"Yes, that's it. I just accompanied Mr. Iruka here to find him!"

Hearing what Iruka and Mizuki said, Sasuke had no choice but to stand up and said:

"So that's it, then you continue, I'll leave first!"

After saying that, he picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom slowly. When he walked to the door, he looked back at Ye.

"Uchiha Sasuke..." Tsukiye murmured to himself as he looked at Sasuke's disappearing figure.

The next day, Tsukiye was called to the Hokage's office early.

Except for Ye, there was only one student who directly skipped the exam from the ninja school to become a genin, and that person was promoted to a jounin at the age of twelve.

The Third Hokage looked up and down at Ye. Is it really good for him that this child has grown up so quickly and so smoothly?

"You are a genin now."

"Yeah." Yue Ye responded lightly.

"Can you tell me why you want to skip the exam?"

"Because I want people to recognize my power, my existence, everything about me."

"Because for some people, only in this way can they be recognized and live like normal people."

"In this era, only strength can explain everything. Only those with strength can set rules, which is justice. Only the strong can be the truth."

The Third Hokage was silent. After a moment, he took a deep look at Ye and said slowly:

"Do you really think so? Strength doesn't mean everything. In addition to strength, you have many ways to prove yourself, don't you?"

"But strength is the fastest and most useful of all methods, isn't it?"

The Third Hokage sighed deeply, and then asked:

"So, you hate the village?"

"There's nothing to hate, after all, I grew up here."

"That's it!" The Third Hokage seemed to let out a sigh of relief.

"Before." The Third Hokage asked, "You fainted. Naruto sent you here."

"Yeah." Hearing Naruto, he thought for a while and finally said:

"He's the same as me, but different."

"How did you faint?" the Third Hokage asked.

"It's nothing." Yue Ye said: "I just remembered some unpleasant things and was a little excited. In addition, I was frightened by the ANBU who came to question me."

"That's it." Sandai stroked his beard and said, "I will handle the ANBU side."

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!" Yue Ye didn't want to stay any longer. Seeing that there was nothing important, she wanted to leave.

"Naruto, this kid doesn't have many friends. Since you like him, then get close to him and spend some time with him."

Yue Ye stopped, turned around and said, "Yes, I know."

"You have passed the ninja school exam ahead of schedule, and there is still some time before you are divided into classes. If you have nothing to do during this time, go to the school to help Iruka take the exam."

"Are you sure?" Yue Ye turned around and confirmed, "The teachers in the school are all chunin."

The Third Hokage laughed softly and said: "Danzo is more than just a chuunin."

Yue Ye hummed: "I have long heard that the Third Hokage has a magical crystal ball that can see things you want to see."

"Since you know everything, why don't you imprison me directly and let me go to school to study instead."

"Because I know you're not the kind of person who would hurt others."

"You just said that you don't hate the village, and in a certain aspect, you are very similar to Naruto."

"Although you act very indifferent, you can't pretend to be indifferent to Naruto like you like you do to other people."

"Sometimes, appearances can be deceiving!"

"Huh." Yue Ye didn't make any answer, turned around and left with a hum.

When he returned to Ninja School that night, he was already a teacher's assistant.

"I didn't expect Hokage-sama to ask you to come here as a teacher's assistant."

When Iruka said this, his eyes looked up and down at Tsukiye.

"What should I do?" Yue Ye asked doubtfully.

"Hmm..." Iruka thought for a while and finally said:

"Actually, I don't have to do anything. I just help me sort out the materials, get things I need for class, and do demonstrations in practical classes."

"It's so troublesome!" Yue Ye said bluntly.

Iruka was speechless………………

In the afternoon, Iruka took the whole class to the playground for practical lessons.

After Iruka asked Tsukiye to demonstrate the clone operation in detail, Iruka began to regain his sense of presence again.

"As you can see, this is one of the exam contents you will take in two days. You must go back and practice more!"

"Okay, so after watching the demonstration, does anyone want to come up and give it a try?"

Students, look at me and I look at you. No one wants to be the first to try.

However, at this moment, Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand.

"I'll do it!" Sasuke said calmly, raising his hands and looking at Ye.

Tsukiye looked at Sasuke and said nothing. He didn't understand Sasuke's behavior, as if he wanted to prove something to himself.

"Then please ask Sasuke-san to come up and give it a try!" Iruka said looking at Sasuke.

After Sasuke completed the clone operation, Iruka looked at the clone generated by Sasuke with joy and nodded in praise:

"Well, not bad. It was successful the first time. It deserves praise."

"Yes." Sasuke replied nonchalantly, but his eyes never moved away from Ye from the beginning to the end.

"Ah——" At this moment, a girl's scream suddenly rang out among the students!
