Naruto hodgepodge

Chapter 43 Admission, Meeting, Recruitment

In the first grade of Ninja School, as the bell rang, students walked into the classroom and found their seats. The classroom was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and curiosity. After a while, the head teacher, Mr. Dekai, walked into the classroom with a warm smile on his face.

"Students, be quiet for a moment." Teacher Dekai clapped his hands gently. When the classroom was completely quiet, he continued, "Today, our class welcomes a very important new member. He will study and grow with us. Now, let's welcome him with warm applause!"

Warm applause suddenly rang out in the classroom, and the students cast curious glances, looking forward to the arrival of the new students. At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and a boy wearing a red and white ninja uniform, carrying a backpack, and with short golden hair fluttering in the wind - Uzumaki Naruto, stepped into the classroom with a bright smile on his face.

"Hello everyone, I'm Uzumaki Naruto! The man whose dream is to become Hokage!"

Naruto had no interest in being Hokage, but after listening to Shisui's talk about the daily life of the ninja school, he realized that basically all the new students wanted to be Hokage, which would attract the attention of their friends and make it easier for them to integrate with their classmates. He remembered his own introduction in the memory fragment and introduced himself loudly as soon as he entered the door. His confident and energetic appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The classmates were infected by Naruto's enthusiasm and confidence, and they all smiled knowingly, and some even began to talk in low voices.

"Becoming a Hokage? How can a fox demon like him be worthy of this?" a young man said disdainfully.

"Wow, he's so confident. Did Fish Leong give him the courage?" said a boy with a flat head

"He's so short, he's probably not even old enough to go to school!" said a short-haired girl.

"But he looks cool, and what he says is so cool, where's the Hokage!" said a female classmate Tiantian.

"He's so brave, that's amazing, isn't he, Neji?" said a boy with a watermelon head. Because Neji suddenly became the last one, Xiao Li began to dare to talk to him.

"Tsk, a clown seeking attention." Neji glanced at Naruto and felt that he was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

……

Naruto looked at the reactions of his classmates below. It seemed that he couldn't fit in with this introduction. Although he wasn't afraid of being alone, he still felt a little sad. Naruto received countless memory fragments from the fat otaku, but those were not his real experiences. He was a 6-year-old child.

Seeing this, Teacher Dekai nodded with satisfaction and motioned Naruto to walk to the podium. "Naruto, come on, introduce yourself to everyone in detail."

Naruto walked to the center of the podium, cleared his throat, recalled his tone in the scene, slightly modified it, and spoke again: "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, from Konoha Village. Although I am an orphan, I am never alone. Although I am not very strong now, I will definitely work hard to train and become stronger! One day, I will become a strong man who surpasses all the previous Hokage!"

After Naruto finished speaking, only two and a half classmates applauded, expressing their welcome and support for Naruto. It was not bad. Naruto remembered these two and a half people. That half person was the young man in white he met before. The cultural class began.

……

At the other end of Konoha Village, Shisui tightly grasped the heavy scroll in his hand - that was the plan that Naruto had drawn with all his painstaking efforts. Shisui walked towards the Hokage Building with firm steps, his heart filled with excitement.

The moment he stepped into the Hokage's office, the air was filled with a solemn and dignified atmosphere. Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at his desk, his eyes bloodshot. Yes, he also had insomnia last night. He stared at the plan in Shisui's hand, and Shisui handed the plan over respectfully.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the plan, and his fingertips gently stroked the cover. He slowly unfolded the scroll and read it word by word. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. As he read deeper into the content, the Hokage's expression gradually became complicated, sometimes frowning, sometimes with a slight smile on his face. Finally, he slammed the table, shaking the teacup on the table slightly and making a crisp sound.

"Anbu, listen up! Immediately notify Konoha F4 and hold an emergency meeting!" The Hokage's voice was filled with unquestionable authority, and the entire office was shocked.

Soon, three advisors, Koharu Utatane, En Mitokado, and Danzo Shimura, arrived one after another, their faces full of confusion. Hiruzen Sarutobi spread out the plan on the table. Due to the length of the plan, he only briefly outlined the core outline of the plan. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.

After listening to the outline, Koharu Utatane's eyes flashed with determination: "I fully agree with this plan. It is full of thoughtful considerations for the future of the village. I am willing to personally supervise every step of the plan to ensure that it goes smoothly."

Mitomon En seemed more cautious. He stroked his chin and said after thinking for a moment, "I have no objection, but I think I have rich experience in management and coordination. I may be more suitable to be the person in charge of this plan to ensure that all links are seamlessly connected."

However, when Shimura Danzo opened his mouth, the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became tense. He stared at the plan, his eyes flashing with greed and desire: "I have something to say. The foresight shown in this plan has shocked me. I think only I can deeply understand its essence and lead the village to a more glorious future. Therefore, I request that the complete plan be handed over to me so that I can study it in depth and serve as the overall person in charge of this plan."

Yuan Fei Hiruzen listened quietly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He also understood the importance of this plan. Finally, he slowly spoke: "I have heard everyone's opinions. This plan is the hope for the future of our Konoha. We need to brainstorm and make decisions together. But before that, let us calm down and think carefully about how to maximize the use of this plan to bring real changes to the village."

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and decided to unfold the details of the plan one by one, so that Konoha F4 could understand every detail and concept more comprehensively. His words moistened everyone's heart like a drizzle, slowly laying out the grand blueprint.

As the content deepened, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually heated up, from the initial solemnity to heated discussions, and even occasionally fierce disputes. Utatane Koharu's voice was gentle and firm. She started from the execution level and put forward a series of practical suggestions, trying to convince everyone that her plan was the most reliable; Mito Kado En relied on his rich management experience to emphasize the importance of coordination and efficiency, and claimed that he could lead the plan to success; and Shimura Danzo, his eyes flashed with unquestionable determination, and every word was like a sharp blade, trying to cut off the opponent's argument, insisting that only he could control this plan and lead Konoha to a new peak.

"We should pay more attention to the rational allocation of resources here!" Xiaochun's voice penetrated the noise. She tapped lightly on a certain spot on the plan with her fingers, trying to attract everyone's attention.

"But time is running out and we must prioritize efficiency!" Men Yan retorted, his tone filled with unquestionable authority.

"Efficiency is important, but without the right direction, everything will be in vain!" Danzo was not to be outdone. His voice was low and powerful, as if every word weighed a thousand pounds.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in the center, quietly observing all this, his face did not show much expression, but his eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. He knew that although such a dispute was fierce, it was the embodiment of the spirit of Konoha - for the future of the village, everyone was willing to give everything, including their own opinions and positions.

Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly. His voice was steady and powerful, and he instantly calmed the noise in the conference room: "Everyone, I understand your enthusiasm and expectations for this plan. But please remember that we are a team, a big family working together for Konoha. The choice of the person in charge is important, but what is more important is how we work together to turn this plan into reality. Therefore, I suggest that we put aside our disputes for the time being and discuss the most appropriate plan together. Remember, our goals are the same - for the prosperity and strength of Konoha."

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's words passed like a spring breeze, the tense atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated, replaced by a rare harmony. Everyone smiled at each other, as if the previous disputes had turned into a catalyst for promoting mutual understanding. They continued to sit together and discussed the details of the plan in depth. Every suggestion was listened to carefully, and every question was answered in detail.

However, when the discussion was coming to an end, Sarutobi Hiruzen made a decisive announcement: "After careful consideration, I have decided to take control of the overall situation myself and be the person in charge of this plan." His voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness. Although Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En were a little surprised when they heard this, they quickly expressed their understanding and support. They knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen's decisions were always based on considerations for the entire village. So, the two of them stood up one after another, nodded to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, and left the meeting room.

Danzo did not leave, he stood there, his eyes locked on Sarutobi Hiruzen, a trace of reluctance and anger flashed in his eyes. "Hiruzen, please let me take charge of the plan, you know my ability very well." There was a hint of pleading in his tone, but more of a firmness that would not be refused.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed softly. He understood Danzo's aspirations and ambitions, but the greatness of this plan prompted him to never give in. "I'm sorry, Danzo, in the end I think I am the most suitable person for this plan." His answer was calm and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

Danzo's face darkened instantly, and anger surged in his heart like a tide. "Hokage should just do his job. How can you waste your time and energy on such things!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: "This is my decision."

"You will regret this." Danzo threatened in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and simply replied: "I am the Hokage."

Danzo was furious. He turned around suddenly, strode to the door, slammed it hard, and walked out, leaving behind a deafening "bang".

……

The school bell rang cheerfully, like the horn of freedom. Naruto couldn't wait to pack his schoolbag, with an expectant smile on his face, and ran straight towards the commercial street. Coincidentally, his classmate Tenten also chose the same route to go home, and the two naturally walked side by side.

"Tiantian, your home is in this direction?" Naruto was the first to break the silence.

"Yes, my family sells ninja tools, right on the commercial street," Tiantian replied.

"That's very close. I'll buy some ninja tools when I get home after I learn the ninja tool training class," Naruto continued.

"Okay, I'll give you a discount when you come," Tian Tian replied with a smile.

"It's settled then." Naruto

"How was your class today, Naruto?"

"Not bad, but the math homework is a bit difficult, but I have found a way to solve it..." Naruto

With brisk steps, they soon arrived at the commercial street. Naruto's shop was not far away. Although the storefront was small, it was always full of warmth and vitality. He stopped and turned to Tiantian and said, "Hey, my shop is just in front. Do you want to come in and sit down? How about I treat you to an ice cream?"

Tenten's eyes lit up when she heard that and she readily agreed, "Of course, Naruto, I didn't expect it was owned by your family. I haven't even tried the ice cream in your shop yet!"

So, the two walked into Naruto's shop. The interior of the shop was warm and interesting, with posters drawn by Sakura herself and photos of customers' smiling faces hanging on the walls. Sakura was busy making ice cream behind the counter, and when she saw Naruto and Tenten coming in, a hint of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.

"Sakura, two ice creams, thank you!" Naruto called out loudly, without noticing the subtle changes in Sakura's expression.

Sakura smiled and handed over two exquisite ice creams, but her eyes could not hide a trace of loneliness. She watched Naruto happily hand one of them to Tenten, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry. She didn't like Naruto yet, just like her favorite toy was taken away by someone. But Sakura quickly adjusted her mood and continued to serve other customers with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Naruto, Tenten left the store with a satisfied smile, and Naruto turned around and devoted himself to the daily work of the store. He skillfully began to weave toys and accessories with Ayako, and every movement revealed his love and dedication to the store.

At this moment, the door of the shop opened slightly, and a girl in lavender clothes quietly stepped into the shop. Her long gray-brown hair was as smooth as silk, cascading down, long and smooth, like a waterfall, which made her look particularly beautiful. The girl looked around, her eyes revealing her appreciation and love for every detail in the shop.

She slowly walked to the corner where the handicrafts were placed, and each step seemed so light and elegant. She stopped in front, her eyes gently swept over each work, and then looked at the desserts in the corner. At this time, Naruto looked up and happened to meet the girl's eyes. He was slightly stunned, and then the corners of his mouth rose, blooming a friendly and warm smile: "Welcome, I am Naruto, the owner of this store, is there anything that particularly attracts you?"

Before she finished her words, Ayako's clear and pleasant voice came from a corner of the store: "Sister Izumi, you really came! I'm so happy!" She ran towards Izumi excitedly, and the two hugged each other tightly, sharing the joy of reunion after a long separation.

"Naruto-kun, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Uchiha Izumi. She is now a powerful ninja." Ayako took Izumi's hand and walked in front of Naruto. "Sister, this is Naruto-kun that I often mentioned to you. His cooking skills are superb, and there is also a dessert master in the store!"

As she spoke, Ayako pointed towards the dessert, signaling Naruto to call Sakura over. Naruto immediately understood and smiled, "Sakura, come here quickly, a guest is coming!"

Soon, Sakura came out of the kitchen with a plate of exquisite desserts, her face filled with a gentle smile. When she saw Quan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Wow, is this the sister that Ayako often mentioned? What a beauty! Please try the dessert I just made."

Sakura handed the dessert to Izumi, who took the plate and sniffed it gently, her eyes sparkling with love and anticipation for the dessert. She took a bite and a satisfied smile immediately broke out on her face: "It's so delicious! Is your name Sakura? Your cooking skills are amazing."

Naruto was secretly delighted when he saw this, because he knew desserts were a great way to bring people closer together. He took the opportunity to say, "Sister Quan, if you like this place, our work and our desserts, you might as well consider joining us. Our shop is in need of people like you who have taste and passion. Besides, Ayako and Sakura will be very happy, right?"

Ayako and Sakura nodded quickly to show their agreement. Izumi looked at the sincere eyes of Naruto and Sakura, and after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, "Actually, I have always wanted to find a place where I can taste delicious desserts. Naruto-kun, Sakura, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I am willing to be a member of this small shop."

Hearing Izumi's answer, Naruto, Ayako and Sakura all smiled excitedly, and the four of them sat down to taste the dessert together. Naruto used his superb cooking skills to make another big meal, and the four of them ate and talked. After capturing their stomachs, Naruto began his deception and empty promises mode. Under the delicious offensive, Izumi soon signed a contract with Ayako to become a member of Baibaozhai.
