Konoha Tatsuno

Flowers bloomed and fell, and two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, the entire ninja world was peaceful, and so was Konoha Village.

After experiencing the tragic Third Ninja War and its continuing events, the Ninja World finally ushered in a rare period of peace.

Although local battles and killings have never stopped, there has never been a major war conflict.

The five hidden villages are silently licking the wounds left by the Great Ninja War.

In Konoha Village, at the gate of the ninja school, a large group of parents gathered here with their children.

Outside the school gate, several notices with countless names written on them were posted.

Today is another annual recruitment day for Ninja School, and all these parents are here to check whether their children have been admitted.

In the crowd, some cheered happily, while others bowed their heads in despair.

"Great! I'm accepted!"

Among them, a yellow figure is particularly conspicuous.

He jumped high and looked very excited.

But around him, the others deliberately stayed away.

This lonely little figure was none other than Naruto.

"Tch! Childish!"

Not far away, young Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, with a haughty and cold expression on his face. He glanced at the bouncing Naruto, snorted disdainfully and turned away.

Half a year ago, Itachi, who had just turned 11 years old, had joined the ANBU directly under the Hokage.

Without his brother's company, Sasuke's arrogant and withdrawn temperament gradually began to show.

In order to show his maturity, he rejected his mother's suggestion to accompany him and reported to the ninja school alone.

In front of the crowd, Hinata was carefully hiding at the feet of Hinata Hinata, looking curiously at the bouncing Naruto.

Behind them were several members of the Hyuga clan, who were the powerful members of the ninja world.

On the other side, Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji each gathered together under the leadership of their fathers.

A year ago, the Akimichi, Yamanaka, and Nara clans all unanimously replaced their new clan leaders, and the new generation of the Ino, Deer, and Butterfly combination officially entered the core of Konoha Village.

As the successors of the next generation, Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji were already familiar with each other before entering the school.

On the inner playground not far from the school gate, there is a row of makeshift registration desks where a large group of parents have already started to register with their children.

The several Ninja School teachers in charge of student registration at the registration office are all newcomers who have just joined the job this year, and they will also become the teachers of these newly admitted students.

Iruka and Mizuki were among them.

In the Chunin Examination a year ago, both Iruka and Mizuki successfully passed the exam and became a genuine Konoha Chunin.

Among the people who took the Chunin exam at the same time as the two, Tatsuno was also familiar with Sagawa and Yuhihi Teru, and they both successfully obtained Chunin qualifications.

Sagawa and Yuhihiru continued to stay in the police department, while Iruka and Mizuki applied to become teachers at the ninja school.

Since there were a large number of people who passed the ninja school selection criteria this year, Iruka, Mizuki and others were busy until noon.

In the afternoon, several people started busy sorting out the class lists of students.

This is a fact that has been decided by the top management of the Ninja School. They are only responsible for sorting it out.

During the sorting process, the new Ninja School teachers were undoubtedly most concerned about which students would be assigned to their classes.

According to the information they had learned previously, several of the new students enrolling this year will come from various major ninja clans.

Such as Uchiha Sasuke from the Uchiha clan, Hinata Hinata from the Hyuga clan, Yamanaka Ino from the Yamanaka clan, Inuzuka Kiba from the Inuzuka clan, Nara Shikamaru from the Nara clan, Akimichi Choji from the Akimichi clan, and so on. . .

These young men from the major ninja clans are the focus of their attention.

According to past experience, the vast majority of talented ninjas come from these ninja families.

After all, if the starting point and the resources you enjoy are different, the probability of future success and achievements will naturally be quite different.

When the final allocation lists for each class were formed, everyone cast a strange look at Iruka.

Because all the children of these wealthy ninja families were assigned to Iruka's class.

"Iruka, you are so lucky!"

"What luck! This is obviously partiality and it's unfair!"

. . . . . .

Some people complain, some are envious.

The gap is too obvious. If several people didn't know the details of Iruka's identity, they would really suspect that there was a secret operation.

However, what they didn't know was that there was indeed a behind-the-scenes operation.

The village intentionally gathered the children of the major ninja clans to study in one class, and Iruka was personally selected by the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The third generation valued Iruka's gentle and positive character.

"Haha! You don't have to envy Iruka, he will be in trouble in the future."

Just when others were envious and complaining, Mizuki's voice suddenly sounded. He took out a student information card from Iruka's hand and showed it to several people.

The other people looked at him intently and immediately fell silent. The envy and complaints on their faces gradually disappeared, replaced by disgust and contempt.

The name registered on this student information card is Uzumaki Naruto, and his photo is posted next to the name.

In Konoha, Naruto has another name, the fox demon!

Many people in the Leaf Village who had experienced the Nine-Tails Rebellion regarded him as the source of disaster, and they hated Naruto.

Iruka smiled when he saw this, and reached out to take back the data card from Mizuki without saying anything.

It was already evening by the time a few people had sorted out the class information. After saying goodbye to Mizuki and others, Iruka walked alone in the direction of Ichiraku Ramen House.

Iruka doesn't have many hobbies on weekdays, and Ichiraku Ramen is his favorite food.

When he walked to the street not far from Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant, Iruka unexpectedly saw a familiar voice.

Under the dim light, a man wearing an eye patch was quietly leaning against the wall on the street.

It's Kakashi.

"Kakashi"

Seeing Kakashi, Iruka quickly said hello.

Kakashi looked up at Iruka and said, "Iruka, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, Iruka looked surprised.

More than ten minutes later, Kakashi and Iruka sat side by side at the table in the Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant, with a bowl of hot ramen placed in front of them.

"Kakashi, you just said you came to me for something, what exactly did you mean?"

While picking up the ramen in the bowl, Iruka turned to look at Kakashi and wondered.

The two are contemporaries and good friends, and this is the first time Kakashi has asked him for help.

Iruka was very curious about this.

Kakashi stopped picking noodles in his hand, turned to look at Iruka and said: "I want to ask you to help me take care of a student."

"Who?"

Iruka's eyes flashed slightly and he asked aloud.

As an elite Jonin of Konoha, the treatment enjoyed by Kakashi is indeed different. As a teacher, he only got the complete list of students not long ago, but he already knew it in advance.

Kakashi said in a deep voice: "Uzumaki Naruto"
