Naruto hodgepodge

Chapter 107 2 Pillars and White-Faced Ghost

The bells of the new semester rang, and the campus of Konoha Ninja School was once again full of vitality and hope. However, for the homeroom teacher, Mr. Iruka, the beginning of this semester was particularly tricky. Naruto had grown into a student who was a headache for others, and he maintained his unique style. Every day, when other students sat in the classroom and absorbed the essence of ninjutsu, Naruto always found an opportunity to sneak out of the classroom when the teacher was not paying attention, and went straight to the free and unrestrained world in the back mountain to enjoy his unique "learning" time.

What's even more troublesome is that Naruto's behavior seems to have some kind of magic, and classmates in the class follow suit, and often stage "escape plans" in the classroom. Teacher Iruka is helpless and anxious in the face of such a scene. He knows that if this continues, not only will the class discipline be gone, but the students' studies will also be greatly affected. So he plucked up the courage and decided to report this situation to the Hokage, hoping to get help.

But every time Iruka entered the Hokage building with hope, ready to explain his troubles in detail, he always unexpectedly found Naruto sitting side by side with the Third Hokage, either talking about something important in secret or immersed in the study of ninjutsu. The Third Hokage always resolved Iruka's anxiety and dissatisfaction with just a few words in his unique way, making him leave with a hint of confusion and helplessness.

Iruka knew that the class he led was the one with the most children from Konoha's big families. These students have different backgrounds and personalities, which makes management more difficult. Iruka tried various methods to try to unite the class into a united whole, but the effect was minimal. Faced with such a dilemma, Iruka couldn't help but feel exhausted, and in the end, he chose to give up. He thought to himself: "Forget it, since I can't change everything, let them be, whoever loves them."

In such a class atmosphere, Naruto still maintains his unique existence. He always shows amazing talent in theoretical classes and has mastered theoretical knowledge to perfection, but when it comes to actual combat exercises, he seems to have changed into a different person and always chooses to avoid fighting. The few battles he participated in privately were mostly physical contests with Toneri, and the result was often that Naruto was beaten up. However, Naruto's physical skills were not the worst, and he often beat up his sister Naruto in physical skills. However, in the competition of ninjutsu and illusion, Naruto showed an overwhelming advantage, and Toneri, who did not have enough energy, was always defeated.

As for Naruto's other hobby, it is painting. The picturesque place in the back mountain has become the source of his inspiration. Whenever he is immersed in the world of painting, it seems that the whole world has become quiet. Occasionally, a painting challenger like Sai appears and tries to interrupt his tranquility. Naruto will use his unique painting spirit technique to deal with the super beast fake painting and easily defeat Sai.

Another member of the class, Uchiha Sasuke, whose parents were alive, was not affected by the death of his clan members. After only one month of pain, he returned to being a cold-faced sunny boy. His newly mature mentality made him a tsundere boy again. Although he occasionally encountered cold words at school, it was like the cool breeze in autumn, which never stirred up any ripples in his heart. Whenever the sun sets, Sasuke sets out on the way home, his heart is filled with warmth, because there is his gentle mother Mikoto, who is preparing a sumptuous dinner with her skillful hands. That is the most solid safe haven in his heart.

However, this peace and happiness has recently encountered unprecedented challenges. The pink-haired girl in the class suddenly developed a strong interest in Sasuke, but this interest was expressed in an almost paranoid way. Every day at school, she would take the initiative to find Sasuke, and put forward various challenges to annoy him, and then finally when he couldn't help but beat her up to get rid of her, something went wrong. In actual combat, she always had the upper hand, and pressed Sasuke, the Uchiha genius boy, to the ground again and again, trampling all his pride and self-esteem under her feet.

What bothered Sasuke even more was that the pink-haired girl didn't seem to be satisfied with just suppressing him in terms of strength, and her behavior began to become more extreme. Recently, the pink-haired girl accidentally got a new opportunity while working part-time at the dessert shop of Baibaozhai. She became the disciple of a female ninja who loved sweets and was good at playing with snakes, and learned to summon terrifying venomous snakes as a fighting partner. Whenever Sasuke tried to refuse her challenge or escape her entanglement, she would release those creepy venomous snakes and threaten to let him taste the taste of being bitten by a snake. This kind of psychological oppression and fear, like a dark cloud, shrouded Sasuke's heart, making his originally peaceful life fragmented.

Sasuke stood in a corner of the classroom, the sunlight shone through the cracks in the window, and sprinkled on his frowning brows, reflecting the unprecedented complex emotions in his heart. His eyes inadvertently swept over Sai who was talking happily with Sakura, and ripples appeared in his heart. Because Sakura knew that Sai was also in Class 7 and was a guy who didn't know how to deal with people, she directly rejected Sai's nickname for her and told him that her nickname was Beauty. Sai didn't step on the thunder, so the two seemed to get along well.

Sasuke took a deep breath, mustered up the rare courage in his life, and slowly walked towards Sai. When he finally stood in front of Sai, the slightly stiff "Hey, that..."

Sai was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his signature fake smile appeared again, but this time it seemed to be more genuinely curious. He gently put down the pen in his hand and looked at Sasuke with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "What do you want to call me for?"

Sasuke took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady: "Can you tell me how to deal with... that guy?" When he said "that guy", he subconsciously glanced at Sakura, with a hint of barely perceptible fear in his eyes. Sakura seemed to have sensed this subtle atmosphere as well, and looked up over here. Their eyes met inadvertently, and Sasuke's heartbeat accelerated instantly, a dark blush appeared on his face, and then he quickly lowered his head, trying to cover up his own gaffe.

Seeing this, Sakura raised a malicious smile. She stood up and walked briskly towards Sasuke, with a playful tone: "Cute little Sasuke, why are you standing here alone? Let's go out and play!"

Sasuke waved his hands quickly, his voice a little hurried: "No, I won't skip classes." There was an unquestionable determination in his words.

Sakura chuckled, as if seeing through his disguise: "Okay, I'll find you after school, don't run away!" After that, she turned and left, leaving a string of silver bell-like laughter echoing in the air.

When Sakura's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Sasuke finally took a breath and looked at Sai again, his eyes full of pleading: "Please, I really need your help."

Sai pondered for a moment, replaying the last time he interacted with Sakura in his mind. At that time, he wanted to make a joke and give Sakura a nickname, but unexpectedly Sakura quickly covered his mouth and corrected him with a smile: "My name is Beauty." From then on, Sai naturally called her "Beauty", and Sakura responded unexpectedly enthusiastically. The two chatted happily, and later the ugly girl gave Sakura flowers and Sakura seemed very happy. Thinking of this, Sai's mouth corners unconsciously rose, and he suggested to Sasuke: "You can try to call her 'Beauty' directly, and then let the ugly girl help you pick a bouquet of flowers for her." As he said, he raised his chin slightly, indicating that Ino on the other side of the classroom was the ugly girl he was talking about.

Sasuke listened to Sai's advice, frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Is it that simple?" His voice revealed his doubt about whether this simple method could work.

Seeing this, Sai smiled even more, and he was obviously enjoying the pleasure of communicating with others. He opened a book that seemed to be placed casually on the table, spread it out in front of the two of them, pointed to the words on the page and said, "The book says that people can quickly get closer to each other and increase their intimacy by calling each other by name, nickname or pet name. Look, even I want to be friends with you, Sasuke. Then, I will call you 'Nizhuzi', it sounds interesting."

Sasuke's face changed slightly when he heard this. He actually didn't dislike nicknames. For example, he was happy to be called handsome directly. However, he felt inexplicably resistant to the name "Hiroshi", especially when he thought of that hateful pink-haired girl. He didn't really want to be friends with her, but more because of her strength and that troublesome snake. But he still politely thanked Sai: "Thank you, but..." At this point, he paused, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, "What a weird nickname you gave me, you guy, I will call you 'White-faced Ghost' from now on."

Today, when Naruto was painting in the grove of Konoha Village, a young woman who was preparing to sketch suddenly came over from the opposite side. She had just recently moved to the mountain villa near the back mountain of the Ninja School. She had just learned to paint not long ago. Today, she finally came out to paint, but she didn't expect that someone was already there. This young woman is called Kurama Yakumo, and she has a paranoid hatred for the Hokage. As for the deep hatred between Kurama Yakumo and the Hokage, it has to start with the Kurama clan. The Kurama clan is an ancient family in the Land of Fire. This clan is good at illusion, but there are not many adults who like to do things. The population can't be raised, so it gradually declined. Even so, the Kurama clan has a huge plug-in. Every few generations, a peerless genius will inevitably appear in the human race. This clan has a talent for illusion, and can refresh legendary heroes at a fixed time. So, this generation of Kurama clan leaders gave birth to Yakumo and his ability is different from ordinary people. His illusion level is directly comparable to that of Xiuxian. Unfortunately, her ability was so great that she developed another consciousness just like Sakura, which caused her to be physically weak since she was a child. Yakumo was the kind of girl who needed to rest for eight hours after practicing for five minutes. She could not get into the ninja school and could only stay at home. The whole family finally drew an orange card after several generations, waiting for a legendary character to appear and focus on cultivating him.

So the father of Yakumo, the head of the Kurama clan, begged the third generation to open a backdoor. The third generation was a little shy about opening a backdoor, so he arranged the village's special ninja, Xiyang Hong, to teach Yakumo in a low-key manner. Xiyang Hong's illusion ability was very strong, but it was really unnecessary to teach Yakumo illusion. So, Hong, who was a teacher on the surface but a nanny in fact, took office secretly. After Yakumo and Hong had been in contact for a period of time, their feelings gradually changed. After all, it was a nanny task. Hong began to worry about Yakumo's health and advised him to live a normal life. At this time, Yakumo's parents also realized that the eldest lady of the clan had no future after fighting and killing. What kind of ninja is it to draw so beautifully? Therefore, they agreed with Hong's approach, but Yakumo was young and ignorant. He responded to the Kurama clan's expectations of him since he was a child and was committed to becoming an elite ninja. As a result, he was advised by many parties and felt a gap in his heart. He mainly blamed it on his weak body and was not favored by others. He thought that he was not liked by others, and unconsciously felt pressured. Until Hong and Yakumo communicated with illusions, Yakumo's spiritual space happened to come into contact with the monster Ido formed by Yakumo due to stress. Hong was shocked. Since Teacher Hong had not studied psychological education for primary and secondary school students, she took up the post directly. Not only did she not appease the psychology of the teenager Yakumo, she did not even notify the parents to tell them that the child had a mental problem. Then, after Yakumo failed to ask his parents to become a ninja at home, the spiritual product demon Ido appeared and spit fire. Yakumo's parents were buried in the sea of ​​fire. Yakumo forgot this experience because of the excessive stimulation. After waking up, he happened to overhear Hong and the third generation talking about eliminating a certain existence. After that, Hong isolated Yakumo in a nearby villa. Yakumo felt that she was persecuted by Hong and was under house arrest by Konoha. So she speculated that her parents were at the level of a senior ninja and could not be buried in the fire. Combined with the conversation between the third generation and Hong, it is speculated that the parents must have been assassinated by the third generation.

The Third Hokage and the special Jonin Hong did not even notice that a little girl who had not even graduated from the Genin preschool class was eavesdropping on their conversation. So, Yakumo has been staying at the villa all day since she moved in, hating the Third Hokage and ignoring Hong who came to visit her, while painting frantically. On a whim, she planned to go out of the villa to paint today, and she met Naruto who often painted here.
