Ninja Ice House

In the relatively closed Konoha Ninja School, a lot of big news from the outside world cannot come in. The children here are also not interested in the entanglements between the adults.

For Uchiha Sasuke, defeating Xiang Rin, regaining the position of chief student, not discrediting Uchiha, and getting the approval of his father and brother are more important than anything else.

Since he was defeated by Xiang Rin last time "inadvertently", he was ridiculed by the annoying blond-haired kid Naruto Uzumaki for more than two months.

Although Uchiha Sasuke didn't understand what qualification Uzumaki Naruto, who is the tail of the crane, has to look down on top students, but it didn't prevent him from being extremely unwilling.

Uchiha Sasuke, who had to practice extra every day after dinner, finally showed the results of his practice today and defeated Xiang Rin steadily.

The victories of so many sparring sessions in the past did not bring such intense joy this time. A smile could not be concealed on the proud little face, and the corners of the mouth involuntarily turned up a lot.

Especially when passing by Naruto Uzumaki, who was constantly cheering on Xianglin and preparing to taunt loudly, he seldom snorted complacently.

The teacher who was watching coldly - Unno Iruka couldn't help but feel emotional.

As the counselor of this class that gathers many talents in the village, the burden on him is also heavy.

I don't know how many bright or dark eyes are watching here. Every small change will be made into a very detailed report and put on the desk of the relevant person.

The results of today's actual combat test were not unexpected.

Uzumaki Naruto still firmly occupies the last place, and the others are generally in line with expectations, but there is still suspense about the ownership of the chief student.

Naturally, the genius of the Uchiha family is not in vain, and Xiang Rin's excellence is also impressive, especially her learning attitude is much better than the arrogant Uchiha Sasuke, few students in the class can match .

As the teaching work of the ninja school became more mature, the accumulated experience was also quite rich, and the real talent could be seen very early.

There are not no examples of late bloomers, but in Muye Village, where the training system is getting more and more perfect, there will be fewer and fewer real "relics of the sea".

The excellence of Sasuke Uchiha was predictable, and the excellence of Kaoru really exceeded expectations. In previous years, there is a high probability of becoming the chief student.

『If Gusugi-senpai behaves like this, I am afraid that the third generation will not be willing to give up. 』

There are too many evildoers among Shaojiadu's students at the same level. Without any great bloodlines and inheritance, they can easily reach the upper-middle level, which is enough to show that Gushan Bushui's aptitude is really not bad.

But compared with Xianglin, it's not enough.

Has there been such a dominant female ninja in Konoha Village?

"Sasuke is doing well and has improved a lot. Kaoru is not bad either, so don't be discouraged. As for the others..."

After encouraging the victors and comforting the defeated Karin, Unno Iruka set his sights on the unknown Uzumaki Naruto,

"I'm talking about you, Naruto, your performance in the theoretical class is bad, and the actual combat class is also terrible. If it happens again next time, the necessary punishment will not be less..."

"Eh?"

The blond kid with a bitter face muttered dissatisfiedly and complained softly,

"It's because the opponent happens to restrain me. If it's another person, it will be different..."

"How can you take the initiative to choose your opponent? As a ninja, you must have the quality to overcome all difficulties..."

Unno Iruka, who was teaching patiently, tapped the tactical board with a headache,

"In short, you are already behind, this is the first year, if you want to become a ninja, you have to work harder to catch up, otherwise..."

The dedicated teacher, who stopped scaring the children, clapped his hands to let the students focus on themselves,

"That's all for today's lesson, school is over."

After the students left one after another, Unno Iruka was packing up the props when he saw a man with silver-white hair walking over with a smile on his face.

"Mizuki, why are you here? It's not that you have a mission to go out..."

"Canceled temporarily."

The person who came was Mizuki, who was a little older than Unano Iruka, who took good care of him when he was young.

"I'm here to see how you're doing. Also, I have good news for you. I've passed the preliminary screening for this year's Ninja School teacher. Maybe I'll be your colleague in the second half of the year."

"Really? That's great, I knew it would be fine with your abilities!"

At this time last year, the two applied for the teacher qualifications of the ninja school together. As a result, Mizuki, who was full of confidence, was rejected, but Unno Iruka, who was not sure, passed all the way and stood out from many ninjas of the same age. It was a big upset.

Uno Iruka, who has always felt that Mizuki is stronger than himself, has expressed similar views many times.

From Iruka's point of view, it was out of the care and encouragement of his friends, but from Mizuki's point of view, it was a bit of a show-off when he was successful.

Fortunately, in a short time, the gap between the two will be evened out.

Of course, Unno Iruka is really happy for his friends, it's hard to say what Mizuki thinks.

At the school gate, Togakushi Hirise, who was about to drop by to pick up Xiang Rin home, was very surprised to see the two greeting figures in the distance.

"Teacher Sunrise, is there a question?"

"That white-haired one is not a teacher, is he a friend of Teacher Iruka?"

"It's possible. I've seen him a few times, and he seems very kind. However, I don't like him, and I always think his smile is a bit hypocritical."

Xiang Rin responded very naturally,

"However, my mother taught me that people should not be judged by their appearance, and that they should not be prejudiced against him."

"you're right."

Togakushi Hirise didn't go any further, but changed the subject,

"I have good news for you. Next week, your mother will come to Muye Village to do some errands, and she will pick you up when the time comes..."

"Really, that's great!"

Xianglin, who had been looking forward to this day for a long time, usually looked like a little adult, was only a child of about six years old after all, so she couldn't help being overjoyed.

When I entered school, it was sent by my father. The "eternal senior" of the ninja school, whose name is still passed down in Konoha Village, but my mother never came here, and was greeted and sent by servants.

After a long time, there are always some malicious rumors circulating, especially after Xiang Rin once defeated Uchiha Sasuke, became the chief student, and gained higher attention, some right and wrong also followed.

Xiang Rin, who has been cold-eyed since she was a child, will not become angry because of a few words from the child, but it is obvious that she is unhappy, especially today, she lost to Uchiha Sasuke and came in second again.

The joy of reuniting with her mother whom she had not seen for a long time dispelled all the haze in her heart.
