After school, outside the Ninja School, in the alley.

Jin Dafeng was alone, carrying his schoolbag, walking quickly towards his home.

There are only him and his mother at home.

My father often set up a stall in Tance Town, selling masks and sugar figures.

We only come back once every half a month to restock.

Originally, the masks were made by mothers.

But in the past two years, my mother's eyesight has been getting worse and worse, and she is almost half blind.

Even so, the mother still stubbornly refused to let Jin Dafeng participate in the production of the mask.

I just hope that he can become a ninja as soon as possible and receive more ninja allowances and mission rewards.

By then, life at home will be much easier.

"By then, our family will have made it through."

Under the oil lamp, my mother would always repeat it over and over again without getting tired of it.

At this time, Jin Dafeng was walking on the road with no distractions.

All I wanted was to get home as soon as possible so I could help share some of the burden with my mother.

"Hey."

When he reached the entrance of the alley, a very handsome and delicate man suddenly walked out from the shadows and blocked Jin Dafeng's way.

The person who came was Uchiha Sasuke.

"Why did you deliberately let the other person go in the competition just now?"

Sasuke asked.

"none of your business."

Jin Dafeng said impatiently.

His entire body seemed to be covered in spikes, completely different from the humble and polite person he was in school.

He just took a step back, walked around Uchiha Sasuke, and continued to walk towards home.

The child's reaction was far beyond Uchiha Sasuke's expectations.

Seeing Jin Dafeng was about to walk away, Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but finally called out to him:

"Hey!"

"Why? Looking for trouble?"

Jin Dafeng stopped again, turned around, and looked at Uchiha Sasuke provocatively.

The street environment where civilians live is two completely different worlds compared to the ninja school.

Children like Jin Dafeng have long been forced by life to learn the rules of the game in every world.

On the streets, you just have to act tough.

"Well, you,"

Uchiha Sasuke felt a little uncomfortable. Bullying the weak was definitely not his intention.

But the other party's attitude

Finally, Sasuke reluctantly asked:

"Do not you know me?"

"Oh, why should I know you?

"You're so handsome, aren't you?"

Jin Dafeng sneered, thinking that this person was simply incomprehensible.

"I recognize you!"

Just when Uchiha Sasuke was feeling extremely embarrassed, a boy's voice came from behind him.

Looking back, the person coming was Qingshui Yiyue.

He was seen jogging after them and coming between Sasuke and Jin Dafeng, supporting his knees with his hands and breathing heavily.

"Do you recognize him?"

Jin Dafeng asked doubtfully.

I thought to myself.

This kid usually seems to be a loner, why is he acting so strange today?

I, who grew up in Konoha, don't recognize him, and you, an outsider

Could it be that this person is not from the village either?

Just as Jin Dafeng was daydreaming, he heard Qingshui Yiyue saying breathlessly:

"Master Uchiha Sasuke!

"This is a letter that my friend from the Hidden Mist Village asked me to bring to you!"

I saw Qingshui Kazutake taking off his schoolbag and frantically taking out a stack of envelopes from it.

"letter?"

Sasuke took the letter suspiciously.

On the side, after hearing this person's name, Jin Dafeng's face suddenly changed, and he stammered:

"U, U, Uchiha

"Sasuke?!!"

"Ah, it's me."

Sasuke nodded, and asked Shimizu Kazugaku curiously:

"How do you know me? What is this letter?"

"Of course I know you! I would pass by the statue of you in Kirigakure Ninja Village every day. You are the hero of our Kirigakure Ninja Village!"

Shimizu Kazugaku said excitedly:

"It's great to be able to confirm with my own eyes that you are still alive!"

"Statue?! Kirigakure??"

Jin Dafeng was even more shocked.

Everyone knows that there was a young hero named Uchiha Sasuke who single-handedly saved the Sand Village.

But when did he become a hero in Kirigakure? !

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly remembered.

Uncle Shikaku had told me this when I attended the other party's family dinner in Nara's mansion.

In order to consolidate the friendship between the two countries, there must be typical, iconic, flesh-and-blood stories.

And I am that story.

In addition to erecting the statue, the other party even wrote his deeds into the textbooks of the Hidden Mist Village.

The content of the book finally ends with the ending: "In the process of fighting with the tyrant Fourth Mizukage, Uchiha Sasuke was hit by an extremely strange ninjutsu, and gave everything for the Hidden Mist Village. His life or death is unknown."

Although, later there was vague news that Uchiha Sasuke managed to survive.

However, there are still different opinions among the people of Kirigakure as to whether he is still alive.

"If, when Orochimaru invaded the Kirigakure Ninja Village, you were still in Kirigakure."

Although, I have heard that Uchiha Sasuke is in the village.

But now that he finally saw the other person in person, Qingshui Kazutake seemed very excited.

I saw him recalling the past with tears in his eyes and trembling all over.

Then I will have to help him invade you.

Looking at Shimizu Kazugake's tearful eyes, Uchiha Sasuke said these words in his mind at a very inappropriate time.

"I'm sorry! Sasuke-sama!"

On the other side, Jin Dafeng, who could no longer bear the huge psychological pressure, finally made up his mind.

He suddenly knelt down, with his hands in an "eight" shape and his head bowed. He lay prone in front of Uchiha Sasuke and said in a trembling voice:

"I was in a hurry to get home just now, and because I was in a bad mood, I offended you with my words.

"I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive my mistakes! Please don't argue with a child like me. I don't know any better."

This kid.

damn it.

Uchiha Sasuke just felt angry and amused.

Thinking back to his domineering look just now, I couldn't help but tease him:

"I still prefer the rebellious look you showed just now."

Upon hearing this, Jin Dafeng began to tremble violently, and even cried in his voice, and said loudly:

"Please, don't, don't affect my graduation. I'll do whatever you want me to do!"

After seeing the other party's genuine fear, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He quickly bent down and helped the other person up, and asked earnestly:

"It's just a small matter, why is it so serious?

"Why do you think so?"

Jin Dafeng was helped to stand up by Sasuke.

He looked at the man in front of him with fear. His name was Uchiha Sasuke, the most sought-after young hero in the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village. In his heart, he deeply regretted his previous carelessness.

"without me.

"I'm just scared."

Jin Dafeng lowered his head and whispered:

"I am so sorry."

He has always been the pride of his parents.

In terms of his interpersonal relationships, he never brought any trouble to his family.

All the students in the ninja school like him.

The bastards on the street were afraid of him.

He explored things cautiously, trying to do everything to the best of his ability.

He knew that he could not afford to make even a single wrong move in his life.

However, who would have thought that such a big shot that could only be seen in dreams would choose to wait for himself in front of such a dirty alley?

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked subconsciously.

Then, the previous question suddenly came to his mind.

After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and said to Qingshui Kazutake beside him:

“I will read the letter carefully.

"However, replying to your letter, well, may take a while. After all, I'm not as good at writing as Hokage-sama."

"No, there's no need to reply."

A mist of sadness suddenly enveloped Qingshui Kazutake's eyes.

I only heard him slowly say:

“They are all dead.

"At that time, after the Seven Netherworlds fleet led by the demon Orochimaru landed, each of us wrote to you.

“At that time, we didn’t know whether you were still alive, we just took this as a prayer and hope.

"We once made an agreement that no matter who survives, he must bring the letter to the Konohagakure."

Uchiha Sasuke's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

I saw Qingshui Yiyue smiled faintly, looked up and said:

"I did it."

Then, as if he knew that Sasuke wanted him to leave first, he bowed respectfully to Sasuke, turned around and ran away.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Shimizu Kazugake's back with mixed feelings.

When he turned around again, he was met with Jin Dafeng's uneasy eyes.

"Where were we talking?"

Uchiha Sasuke took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and asked.

"what?"

"Oh yes."

Uchiha Sasuke said to himself:

"Why did you deliberately give in to Konohamaru in the competition just now?"

"I'm sorry! I didn't know Sasuke-sama was watching!

"I'm really going to die for disturbing the adults' interest! If I..."

Jin Dafeng answered immediately.

"I don't want to hear this. Tell me what's in your heart."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head calmly, looking directly into Jin Dafeng's eyes and said.

"Heart, what's in your heart?"

Jin Dafeng was stunned, not knowing what this gentleman was up to.

"Yes, from the heart."

Uchiha Sasuke nodded seriously.

"I"

Jin Dafeng lowered his head, thought for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say:

"I just think it's unnecessary. It's not an exam anyway.

"You also know that Konohamaru is the young master of the Sarutobi clan. How can a commoner ninja like me afford to offend him?"

"What? After losing the competition, does he dare to retaliate against you?"

Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyebrows and raised his voice involuntarily, asking loudly.

"That's not the case."

Jin Dafeng immediately waved his hand, but remembering the premise of "the truth in my heart", he lowered his head and spoke slowly again:

“Well, actually, I don’t know.

“Anyway, I don’t want to cause trouble for my family.

"My parents are both insignificant people. They are very afraid of the ninja family."

After a pause, Jin Dafeng raised his head again and said loudly:

"On the other hand, if I can establish a good relationship with Konohamaru, it will definitely be a great help to someone like me in the future!"

"You like to cling?"

Uchiha Sasuke's heart moved and he asked.

"I"

Jin Dafeng was stunned by the question, his face turned slightly red, and he looked embarrassed.

But after a pause, he raised his head again and said loudly:

"That's right! Even if it is so!

“But I wouldn’t sell my dignity to do that.

“I just want to take advantage of every opportunity I can get.

"Even if, even if this incident gives me the opportunity to be a gatekeeper ninja in the courtyard of Sarutobi's mansion in the future, our family's life will be much better because of it!"

"very good!"

Uchiha Sasuke laughed and expressed his approval sincerely.

Sasuke agreed with what Jin Dafeng said, "I want to seize every opportunity I can."

Sasuke said loudly:

"Then I'll give you this chance! You better seize it!

"Haha."

Uchiha Sasuke patted Jin Dafeng's shoulder, and under the latter's confused gaze, he walked away laughing.

"climb"?

How can it be called clinging when Jin Dafeng gives the other party emotional value based on his own strength?

Come to think of it, didn’t Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas, also “climb on” to power in the beginning?

Within the scope of your ability, try to make friends with all possible helpers.

And at the right time, give the other party equivalent returns to the best of your ability.

Why can't I do that?

"Is it really decided?"

"deal."

"Don't take another look? There's still plenty of time."

"Don't look at it."

Konohagakure Village, the Hokage's residence, the Hokage's study.

Uchiha Sasuke handed Jin Dafeng's resume to Jiraiya, indicating that he had already selected the third child for the new Team 7.

"It's unexpected."

Jiraiya took the resume and looked at it carefully.

On the resume, the square-faced Jin Dafeng was smiling awkwardly, but his eyes were determined.

"That's fine, as long as you agree."

Jiraiya carefully read the words on the resume while muttering:

"If Iruka hadn't insisted on recommending me, I really wouldn't have given you this resume."

"is it?"

Uchiha Sasuke's heart moved, and he asked:

"Just because he is a child from a commoner family?"

“There are indeed reasons for this.”

Jiraiya nodded. After a pause, he spoke calmly again:

"You don't come into contact with many children from ordinary families, so there are indeed many problems with adaptation."

"Aren't you also from a commoner background?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked with a smile.

"I'm different. My parents died early."

Jiraiya answered readily.

Then he put the resume in his hand on the table beside him, looked directly into Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, and said solemnly:

"Children from ordinary families, especially those with both parents alive, are too precious to live.

"Not a good candidate for being a ninja."
