Naruto hodgepodge
Chapter 24: Konoha's 56th Year Arrives
After Iruka was successfully promoted to Chunin, he chose to return to the Ninja School to take on the responsibility of educating a new generation of ninjas. At the same time, Iruka's good friend Mizuki failed to be promoted to a teacher because he killed a companion during a mission and ended up being an assistant teacher.
Mizuki, ninja number 0, hates ramen and is the biggest villain in this world. He almost ended the 700 episodes of Naruto with a shuriken. He has shown unique characteristics since he was a child. He is not only a fashionable dresser, but also has excellent abilities and a striking head of white hair. However, his heart is full of hypocrisy, all of which are fake.
At the Ninja Academy, Iruka and Mizuki were inseparable and had a deep friendship, but this was all Iruka thought. Mizuki had been hiding a dark heart since he was a child. When he saw Iruka standing alone in front of his parents' graves, he did not show the sympathy that a child of the same age should have, but instead laughed at him in his heart.
However, when Mizuki saw Iruka being cared for by the Hokage, he began to feel angry. Why did that crybaby get the Hokage's care? He envied the feeling of being cared for, the feeling of being valued. So, in order to leave a good impression in front of the Hokage, he deliberately pretended to be considerate, took the initiative to approach Iruka, and played with him. Behind this superficial friendliness, Mizuki's complex and real inner world is hidden.
When Shuimu was a child, he looked innocent on the outside, but he was actually calculating on the inside. He was good at observation and could always keenly capture the weaknesses of others and then cleverly use them. His dark side was completely malicious, which benefited him a lot in his growth process, but also made him go further and further astray on the road of life.
During a dangerous mission last year, Mizuki's team encountered an accident. A teammate injured his leg and fell to the ground. The injury did not seem serious. However, this sudden situation made Mizuki panic. He was afraid that his teammate's injury would slow down the progress of the mission and affect his performance in front of the Hokage. At that moment, the dark side of his heart drove him to make a cold decision-he strangled the injured teammate to death.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Orochimaru's little snake. Orochimaru, who is also cold and good at taking advantage of others, became interested in Mizuki's behavior. He thought Mizuki was dark enough and unscrupulous, which was exactly the type he liked. So, Orochimaru gave Mizuki a "gift" - an incomplete earth seal, which is a powerful power, but it also requires a huge price.
However, Mizuki was not careful enough in handling the matter. He clearly killed his teammate, but when reporting to the leader, he lied that the death was caused by a leg injury. This clumsy lie was simply a monkey trick for the leader, and was soon discovered by the leader. As a result, Mizuki failed the instructor exam and lost the qualification to become a formal instructor. Now, he can only follow Iruka to become an assistant instructor at the Ninja Academy, which is undoubtedly a shame and frustration for him.
In the 56th year of Konoha, Mizuki has basically been obedient in the years since he became a teacher, but Mizuki's curse seal has directly mutated. Once it is activated, his ability is 100 times stronger than the original Mizuki. As the first boss, his power bonus is also the first, but it seems that there are triggering conditions, and all this is done without anyone knowing.
The Third Hokage came to Naruto's house once a month. Today, he stepped into the little guy's house again to visit Naruto. After getting the money, the Third Hokage looked at Naruto's training progress. However, a year has passed, and Naruto still seems to have no signs of successfully refining chakra.
The Third Hokage couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Naruto's talent was so poor that he even began to doubt his own judgment. As a Hokage, he had witnessed the rise of countless geniuses, but this was the first time he had encountered a situation like Naruto's inability to refine chakra.
In the original work, Naruto never really felt the power of the Third Hokage before he passed away. The Third Hokage never showed Naruto his true strength. Therefore, Naruto never knew the power of ninjutsu. No one in the village could perform ninjutsu casually except in the training ground. Naruto even now thinks that the extraordinary power of chakra is nonsense. If he doesn't pay attention to it spiritually, he can't cultivate it. After all, chakra is the combination of life and spiritual energy.
The state of Naruto's training made the Third Hokage feel helpless. In Konoha Village, civilians usually enter the ninja school at the age of 6 and start to practice chakra. However, Naruto is different. The Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails in Naruto before his death. Before his death, the Fourth Hokage placed all his hopes on him, hoping that Naruto would eventually control the power of the Nine-Tails.
However, Naruto's progress is too slow. Naruto is very important in the village. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is like a nuclear weapon and is an important force in the village. Naruto has the Nine-Tails sealed in his body, which should be a big advantage for him, but his training progress is far behind. This makes the Third Hokage very worried. He can't let Naruto continue like this.
Before leaving, the Third Hokage told Naruto that he would enter the Ninja School in half a year. He must refine as much chakra as possible before then. At the same time, the Third Hokage also gave Naruto some encouragement and support. He told Naruto not to give up, to continue to practice, and to believe that he would be able to master the real power one day.
However, Naruto had heard these words so many times that his ears were numb. He had long lost his patience. He had heard them so many times that he could recite them by heart. He looked at these superstitious people and felt very speechless. He did not think that these trainings were of any use. He was just kind-hearted and did not want to disappoint this superstitious old man.
The Third Hokage made a decision when he returned to his office. Although Naruto was watching alone, he still had to ask F3 for his decision, so he immediately summoned three important advisors, Danzo, Mitomon En, and Tenin Koharu. They hurried over, wondering about the purpose of this summons. Danzo even thought that the Uchiha family had rebelled and the Third Hokage was anxious to ask for help from him.
At the meeting, when the Third Hokage explained Naruto's situation to them, Mitomon, Tenshin Koharu, and Danzo were all very troubled. Naruto's training progress was slow, and he seemed to have no idea about the refinement of chakra, which made them very worried. As important figures in the village, they knew the importance of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Naruto's current situation undoubtedly cast a shadow on the future of the village.
According to previous reports, Danzo had already lost confidence in the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the report believed that Naruto had very poor talent and had no talent to become a ninja. Danzo looked at the Third Hokage and remembered that the armor was taken away by the Third Hokage in the previous period. He took the opportunity to taunt that if he had led the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, this situation would never have happened. He thought he knew how to train talents better than the Third Hokage, and expressed disdain for Hiruzen's current status of training Jinchuriki. At the same time, he believed that Naruto, who was trained by Hiruzen, was just a worthless burden, and his existence would only drag down the future of the village.
However, the Third Hokage knew Danzo's thoughts and did not agree with Danzo's views. He believed that as long as he was given the right guidance, Naruto would be able to master the real power. Because the Third Hokage felt that Naruto might be affected by the Nine-Tails and unable to practice, and Shisui was the only Sharingan he could trust. Therefore, he proposed to let Shisui teach Naruto. Shisui was a genius of the Uchiha clan, with excellent ability and vision. Relatively speaking, the generation gap between young people was small and he was suitable to be a teacher.
This idea was immediately strongly opposed by Danzo. He believed that it was extremely dangerous to let the Uchiha clan teach the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. The situation between the village and the Uchiha clan was already very tense. The Uchiha clan was unwilling to give up power and compromise with the village. If they captured Naruto, it would probably cause a new Nine-Tails Rebellion. He accused the Third Hokage of making a wrong decision to expose Naruto's identity. Naruto was also a waste. Not only would it cause Konoha's power to be unbalanced in the future in the competition between the great powers, but at this stage, the Uchiha clan also knew the Nine-Tails' identity. More people must be sent to protect him, otherwise he would be controlled by the Uchiha's Sharingan at any time.
Facing Danzo's accusations and doubts, the Third Hokage's attitude was extremely serious. He did not rush to refute, but took a deep breath and slowly began to explain the deep meaning behind his decision. He mentioned that he had observed that Naruto had a strong ability to understand, and his character was more like the spirit of not admitting defeat and perseverance, which was exactly the same as the Will of Fire. He firmly believed that as long as he was given the right guidance, Naruto would definitely have the talent of a ninja.
In order to emphasize that his decision was not made rashly, the Third Hokage specifically mentioned Shisui's life experience. He mentioned that Shisui was the child of Uchiha Kagami, who had shown extraordinary talent and a firm will of fire since childhood. Kagami was our companion, and had protected the village many times. Danzo, did you forget that it was Kagami who risked his life to save you? His child undoubtedly inherited this noble quality. The Third Hokage believed that Shisui teaching Naruto would not only improve Naruto's strength, but also enable him to truly understand and inherit the will of fire.
After a heated discussion, they finally reached a consensus and decided to let Shisui take on this important task. After the meeting, the Third Hokage did not delay and immediately summoned Shisui overnight. He told Shisui in detail about Naruto's situation and his expectations, and set this task as S-level. He asked Shisui to not only help Naruto refine chakra and master basic ninjutsu within half a year, but also ensure that the information was not leaked.
The Third Hokage knew the importance and difficulty of this mission, but he had full confidence in Shisui. He hoped that through this mission, Naruto could truly tap into his potential, master the real power, and become a solid backing for the village's future. At the same time, he also hoped that through Shisui's teachings, Naruto would have a deeper understanding and inherit the Will of Fire, and become the true heir of the Will of Fire.
