Naruto: Sasuke loves to visit forums

Seeing Uchiha Sasuke fall into thought, Jiraiya continued to strike while the iron was hot and said:

"How about you think about it again?

"You just value his grades. But you have to know that grades are not everything.

"The limit of some people's efforts is nothing more than the starting point of those geniuses. A true ninja must be honed between life and death.

“Perhaps, the current No. 1 ranking is the limit of his efforts.

"As for the other children from the noble families, in the future, after you become Hokage..."

After noticing a hint of impatience in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, Jiraiya stopped.

He knew that Uchiha Sasuke was still young and might not like to hear these things, so he started again:

"Forget it, I won't tell you that far ahead. Just based on the combat capability, didn't I recommend a graduate with a bloodline limit to you?

"Um, Qing, what is Qing?"

"Qiyomizu Kazutake."

“Yes, Shimizu Kazutake.

"Did you see him? How is he?"

Uchiha Sasuke touched the envelope in his arms and thought about it carefully again.

Finally, he made up his mind and said:

"No, let's go with Jin Dafeng."

On the other side, Jiraiya couldn't help but be stunned.

He just looked at Uchiha Sasuke quietly, thinking silently in his heart.

After a while, Jiraiya's frown slowly relaxed as if a spring breeze was blowing.

He just nodded and said with a smile:

"Okay! That's settled then. I trust your judgment."

"it is good."

Uchiha Sasuke finally smiled.

"So, which jonin will take care of the child Shimizu Ichigaku after he graduates?"

Sasuke asked.

"Ah, this."

Jiraiya raised his head, slowly recalled, and said:

“It probably hasn’t been decided yet.

"Why, do you have any recommendations?"

"No."

Uchiha Sasuke shook his head, and then an inspiration flashed through his mind, and he asked:

"How is Kimimaro?

"They were both originally from Kirigakure, and they were quite friendly with each other."

Come to think of it, Kimimaro has always been alone, and apart from himself, he has no other ties in Konoha.

This is not a long-term thing, it is indeed a bit lonely.

"Oh?"

Jiraiya turned around and thought that Sasuke's statement was actually a bit outrageous at first glance.

After all, having an outsider ninja become a shift-leading jonin is not the same as working in the ANBU.

As the Hokage, I have the final say on the staffing of the Anbu.

However, a position like that of a class-leading jonin involves the most important future child in Konoha, and there will always be more eyes watching the selection of the person.

However, over the past year or so, Kimimaro has already been on many missions in the Anbu.

They were all completed very beautifully, and his loyalty to Konoha has been tested.

In this way, facing those hidden voices of opposition, Jiraiya has already accumulated a certain amount of cards to start the game, which is very different from when he just came back.

In Jiraiya's opinion, the relationship between Kimimaro and Uchiha Sasuke is undoubtedly his biggest plus point.

Now, the more say and status Kimimaro has in the village, the smoother Uchiha Sasuke's path to becoming Hokage will be in the future.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya immediately nodded and said loudly:

"It just so happens that Hyuga Neji has nowhere to go right now, so why not let the two of them follow you and become the leading jonin of this class!

"At this time of war, there is a severe shortage of jonin. We can only vigorously promote the younger generation."

The latter sentence is obviously looking for an explanation to the outside world.

"what?

"That couldn't be better."

When Uchiha Sasuke heard Jiraiya's suggestion, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He didn't think too much about it. He just felt that he had a good friend to accompany him to start a new job, which made him feel more confident.

At that time, they can also discuss and exchange ideas with each other when facing difficulties encountered when leading subordinates.

With this arrangement, we will have more common topics.

"However, you still need to consult their own opinions first."

Jiraiya added.

If I spend a lot of effort to push this matter forward, but those two little guys don't appreciate it, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

"Okay! I'll go early tomorrow morning!"

Uchiha Sasuke responded happily.

Then he said goodbye to his master and went to his room.

-

Back in the house, Uchiha Sasuke felt very happy.

He silently calculated in his mind who Shimizu Kazugaku would be more suitable to be a teammate with, and which children Hyuga Neji could lead.

He took off his clothes and prepared to change into his pajamas.

Suddenly, the colorful envelope fell from his arms.

It was in the afternoon when Shimizu Kazutake handed him the letter personally.

They are all messages from the dead.

Uchiha Sasuke bent down to pick up the envelope and looked at the crooked, childish handwriting on the cover.

My mood couldn't help but become heavy.

I saw him changing into pajamas and sitting in front of the desk in a daze.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally sat up straight and slowly opened the first envelope.

Dear Brother Uchiha Sasuke:

Xiaoyu and I are in the old military camp. Xiaoyu is my sister. If you can receive this letter, please bring us some food, overalls and blankets, and some clean paper.

If I could, I would like to eat the blue butterfly shortbread again. That's why I like you.

——Tsuchida Tetsuo

Dear Sasuke:

My father was taken to Xuewu Village last night to deliver food to the ninjas. He is a fat man with a kind smile. His left eye is much smaller than his right eye. You can recognize it at a glance.

Can you bless him for me? If it's Sasuke-sama, there will be no problem.

——Arisa Goda

Hey, Brother Uchiha Sasuke!

Every one of them is scared to death. Don’t you think it’s funny?

Hahahaha, ha.

what.

Actually, I am a little afraid, but I am just a little afraid. Don’t tell anyone else. I only told you about this.

I am not afraid of death, really. But I am afraid that after I die, no one will remember me.

Over the past year, I have been praying for you sincerely, hoping that you can escape safely from that strange ninjutsu. I am not lying to you, I swear in the name of Blue Butterfly Shortbread.

But these past two days, I have really regretted it. If you were already dead, I would be less afraid when I think of your existence in heaven.

Then, hopefully, you're dead.

There is nothing to be nostalgic about in such a world.

Regards.

Greetings Heavenly Father.

——Takeo Yamamoto

Sasuke's brother:

Hello. I put all my favorite toys in a candy tin and buried them under the horse chestnut tree in the backyard.

Praying for you.

The last time.

——Tepei Takai

As he flipped through the letters, Uchiha Sasuke felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe.

He stood up, opened the window, and let the cool air blow in, barely dispelling some of the suffocating feeling.

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Sasuke suddenly thought of something.

These children will never be able to see this bright moon again.

A great sadness once again gripped him tightly.

War, war.

He wants to thank these children.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the moon quietly, his mood filled with unspeakable sadness and anger.

It was the letters from these children that gave me a deeper and more concrete understanding of the war.

Outside the house, Uzumaki Naruto's voice was heard again in the distance, and he was complaining that the hot water for bathing had run out.

That familiar daily routine, at this moment, seems so unreal.

After a long time, Uchiha Sasuke returned to the desk and read every letter carefully.

Then, he solemnly put the letter away and put it back in the drawer of his desk to keep it safe.

-

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is time for graduation from the Ninja Academy.

In the past month, Uchiha Sasuke has done some things.

Overall, it was relaxing and fulfilling.

Practice, visit friends, talk with Jiraiya, observe the daily life of Hokage up close, and bicker with Uzumaki Naruto on a daily basis.

By the way, Sasuke also made a special trip to Tansho Castle.

I originally wanted to ask Nara Shikamaru to go with me, but that kid is very busy every day.

All matters within the clan and the village have to be arranged by Shikamaru. Come to think of it, it's really difficult for this trouble-averse guy.

Sasuke's purpose of going there was to confirm the authenticity of Shimizu Kazugaku's bloodline limit, and he also wanted to visit his old friends in Kirigakure.

Unexpectedly, Mei Terumi was in such a depressed state.

It is completely different from the glamorous image it had in the past.

What surprised Uchiha Sasuke even more was the news that Chojuro had died in battle.

The one who killed him was Kidomaru, one of the Otonagakure Four, who was very familiar to Sasuke.

Everything that day was very heavy. The only thing to be thankful for was that the news about Shimizu Kazugaku's bloodline limit was indeed true.

The reason why they had to be sent to Konoha was because the situation of the remaining members of the Hidden Mist was really worrying.

It can be seen that the fighting spirit of Mei Terumi and others has been completely crushed by Orochimaru.

Now, all hopes are placed on others, that is, the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village.

Sasuke went to Konoha Hospital several times later.

The medical ninjas are indeed geniuses in chakra control, and their progress in mastering "Kaiten" far exceeded Sasuke's initial expectations.

Sakura had never seen it.

To be precise, I have seen it once.

Her progress in Kaiten training was also very good, but when she saw Uchiha Sasuke coming, she left as if she was in a bad mood.

Let her be.

I think time will heal everything.

As for the Hyuga clan, everything was just as Jiraiya had expected.

Although they were quite angry in their hearts, they were unable to express their grievances in words.

Under the banner of "unity and cooperation" and "Will of Fire", Jiraiya even allocated them a reward of 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury, which was considered to be giving enough face to the Hyuga clan.

Due to the "exemplary role" of the Hyuga clan, the other five major families, and even elite jonin such as Sarutobi Asuma, all realized that the trend was unstoppable.

Under Jiraiya's active promotion, each of them finally contributed some talents and non-core ninjutsu resources to share with the Chunin and above ninjas in the Hidden Leaf Village.

For a moment, many ninjas of civilian origin, such as Gangzi Tetsu, Kamijou Izumo, Zulei Tong, Diewashi, and even Umino Iruka, all had joyful expressions.

Every time they meet, they would say, "What are you going to learn?" and "Hokage is amazing" and "A united Konoha will win."

Under Jiraiya's arrangement, Hyuga Neji was also assigned a house on the outskirts of the city and became neighbors with Kimimaro.

When they heard about the term "leading jonin", their reactions were completely different.

Kimimaro just felt confused. He was very satisfied with his current life and felt somewhat resistant in his heart.

Hyuga Neji, on the other hand, looked flattered.

Without waiting for Sasuke to say more, Neji couldn't wait to educate Kimimaro again about the value of being a class-leading jonin in the Konohagakure Ninja Village and their future development prospects.

In the end, after being persuaded by Sasuke and Neji, Kimimaro finally agreed to this arrangement.

However, when it comes to specific subordinate ninjas, the two of them do not have the right to choose them.

Everything will be revealed only on the day of graduation from Ninja Academy.

-

"Congratulations, from today on, you are all ninjas in your own right."

One month later, at the Ninja School, in the lecture hall, at the graduation briefing.

Iruka stood on the podium and once again spoke about the annual briefing:

“But right now, everyone is still just a novice Genin, and the real hard work has just begun.

"From now on, you will be divided into groups of three, forming a team, following a jonin teacher, and officially begin to carry out missions."

Upon hearing this, many students in the classroom began to talk about it.

"Who will I be grouped with?"

"Jounin? Wow."

"Whatever, just don't hold me back."

"It must be a group of three of us. I've already told my family."

Sarutobi Konohamaru sat at the top of the classroom and said to Kazesami Moeka and Ise Udon beside him with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

The two companions also nodded vigorously, waiting expectantly for Iruka's list.

Hinata Hanabi sat alone in the second row by the window. Compared to the noise in the classroom, she just quietly supported her head with her hands, looking at the scenery outside the window absent-mindedly, as if she was completely out of it.

She doesn't care who she's in a group with.

One month of life in the ninja school made her completely disenchanted with this kind of collective life.

Most girls are noisy, and boys of the same age are too childish.

Maybe the time is too short.

After a month, she still hasn't been able to make any decent friends.

Now, Hanabi just hoped Iruka would announce it soon.

When her teacher comes in the afternoon, she will finally be able to see brother Sasuke again.
