The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

57 Life is a tragedy

Hehe, naughty kid.

"Tsk, tsk~ I just heard someone say that so-and-so's abilities are too poor."

Putting his calloused, slightly thick middle finger in the ear cup and turning it back and forth, Zoji's raised eyelids were filled with disdain: "My ears have been a bit blocked recently and I can't hear clearly. I wonder who can repeat it again?" "

Saki's words made the three children's ears tingle. Children of this age have the strongest self-esteem.

"I'm not"

"I do not have"

"Don't talk nonsense"

It's true that he has a good tacit understanding and dares to call himself "Legion". This little guy uses this set of qualities like a thief. He just brushed off everything that just happened without any discussion at all.

"Hey, are you going to let someone with inferior skills teach you?" Although he was not prepared to argue with the children, Zoji still rolled his eyes.

Anyone who is looked down upon by children always feels bad.

Although Konohamaru is not very smart now, he can still feel this emotion: "Can you teach us, Luosuo?"

Use embarrassment and anger to cover up your guilty conscience, and roar at the top of your lungs to cover up your lack of confidence.

Children just like to make noise like this. Although they are a little disgusted, who told him to give birth to a good fetus?

Thinking of this, Zoji showed a helpless smile, "There is no problem in teaching you. There is no secret about my physical skills, but you have to tell us who told you that my physical skills are not bad."

Over the years, Zoji has learned to keep a low profile. He understood that in the ninja business, the less information he had exposed, the less likely he would fall into crisis or be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Well, although the current effect is not very good

He has been chasing ducks to get on the shelf recently, being called around by different people, and even doing many "part-time jobs" that he is not very happy with.

But there is absolutely nothing wrong with his starting point. Now the world of Naruto is suitable for making a fortune silently. Only when he gets the power that can change his destiny can he dare to stick his head out of his shell.

Unexpectedly, today even a few soy sauce children knew his information. Zoji must find out.

At this time, Saki, who was squatting down, looked directly into Konohamaru's eyes, and the latter actually started to dodge.

This is very revealing. I am afraid that the person who disclosed the information to him tried to get this kid to keep it a secret.

In other words, that person's identity has a great influence on Konohamaru.

This is the fundamental reason for the inner struggle of the Konoha Crown Prince who is not afraid of heaven or earth.

"Don't worry, if I teach you physical skills, then I will be your teacher, and I will naturally keep your secrets." The deep eyes are like endless abyss, and the plain tone is like the whisper of a devil in human ears.

After all, he is a child and cannot resist the temptation of the devil.

"My dad said it. I overheard it. He and my mom were discussing some particularly outstanding ninjas."

Sure enough, it was not far from what Zoji had guessed.

Who are Konohamaru's parents?

That was an elite Jonin directly under the ANBU of the Hokage, the right-hand man of the Third Hokage.

It can be said that on the surface, all the ANBU power that Sarutobi Hiruzen can use is in the hands of his son, who belongs to the powerful group of ANBU. His status will definitely not be lower than that of Orochimaru who was living under Danzo back then.

Hiruzen Sarutobi is definitely a pure neon man, and he is very sneaky when it comes to not putting all his eggs in one basket. Overtly and covertly, he has good intentions for his two children. Even if one day, the Sarutobi clan loses the position of Hokage, the influence of the Sarutobi clan on Konoha is still strong.

Even in the most critical situation, for example, if the Sarutobi clan made an unforgivable mistake and even enjoyed the treatment of the Uchiha clan, Sarutobi Asuma, who was not very close to him, could still stand up at the critical moment and kill his relatives with justice. , to preserve the last fire of the Sarutobi clan.

Just like Uchiha Itachi, some people say that he was brainwashed by the Will of Fire, and some people say that he is a disciple control. Of course, these speculations are well-founded.

But no one has the answer to the real situation. Perhaps in order to save the last fire, he carried out the act of genocide as a last resort when he could not change the fate of his family. He was able to sacrifice his life for his younger brother, probably because he was the only remaining member of the Uchiha clan. Sasuke is the only one.

As for his eldest son, Anbu, whose name is unknown, is even more representative of Sarutobi's love for him. From the life experience of this unknown ANBU with no outstanding performance, it is not difficult to find that this guy is not actually a powerful ninja. He may have unique talents in management, but he is definitely not good enough in combat. of.

This was the fundamental reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen kept him by his side. In his impression, perhaps there was no place safer than his side. Even if he wanted to kill his legitimate son, he would have to step over his own body.

Thinking about it this way, the third generation is really working too hard.

The three apprentices are not fuel-efficient lamps. Their son has taken over with pornography, gambling and drugs, and he has no talent to become Hokage. The family is not the Uchiha or Hatake that are full of talents, and their intelligence is not as good as that of the Nara clan, nor the three Ino, Deer and Butterflies families. The kind of absolute ally who can help each other, even the aspect of ninjutsu is not as mysterious as Inuzuka and Aburame, not to mention the blood inheritance limit.

It can be said that the Sarutobi clan is a typical blue-collar character. It relies on its huge population base to create a Hokage like Sarutobi Hiruzen. Since he has been promoted to the position of Hokage, he must contribute his own efforts to the family. Two hundred percent power.

Man is a creature whose butt determines his head. When he sits in the position of Hokage, what he needs to think about is not that simple.

In order to coordinate the relationship between all parties, he has given everything he has, and he does not even have time to cultivate trustworthy disciples, get along well with his family, or use resources to make powerful allies.

This was the fundamental reason why he died in the hands of Orochimaru. This old man was not selfish enough.

But it is undeniable that the old man still does his best for the people he cares about, and his vision is quite vicious.

His son was Konoha's teacher, but unfortunately he died too young.

His grandson is the younger brother of the Jinchuuriki of Konoha, and he hugs this golden thigh tightly.

When the old man left, he had no regrets, right?

Konohamaru's eyes returned to Sakichi's eyes. He was able to contact the top leaders of the ANBU without being suspected.

Konohamaru's father was managing all the ANBU information about Sakichi, so he could also see Gen's evaluation of Sakichi.

It is not surprising to come to the conclusion that "this guy has good physical skills".

As for what Konohamaru said about "overhearing" it, Sakichi selectively filtered it out. This little guy definitely eavesdropped out of curiosity.

"But I'm not the only outstanding ninja, why do you have to keep an eye on me?"

"Taijutsu is the foundation of ninjas," the little guy retorted to Sakichi confidently, "Well, my grandpa said that."

"Sandaime-sama." Although Konohamaru didn't have a very good attitude towards his grandfather, and even often attacked his grandfather, it was just to gain attention. It's like Uzumaki Naruto is trying hard to cause trouble in the village, just to gain a sense of presence in front of the people he cares about.

He said he was dissatisfied with his status, but he was honest and proud of his third-generation grandson. He kept the old man's words in mind and worked hard to achieve his goal.

Children are really a body of contradictions

But as for the third generation, it does make sense. The body is the foundation of the ninja. Only with strong physical skills can the ninja be able to complete the mission under any conditions, and can ensure that the ninja has enough time to form seals and cast various escape techniques to ensure his own safety. , attack or retreat.

Although Sandai himself is known as a doctor of ninjutsu, people's impression of him still remains in terms of his skillful use of various escape techniques.

But Sakichi, who is well versed in the past, present, and future history of Konoha, deeply understands that Mr. Sarutobi relies most on his own taijutsu.

The best evidence is that his psychic beast, the Demonic Ape, is best at turning into a stick, not a staff or a shield.

Even at the top of Konoha, at the most difficult moment of the battle, he did not use the escape technique to decide the outcome with Orochimaru. Instead, he turned the demon ape into a Vajra stick and chose to fight Orochimaru in close combat.

Putting aside the plan to use the corpse seal, the old man at that time probably only used that move to seal the first and second generations. As for Orochimaru, he hoped that this guy would have a greater chance of turning around.

Moreover, before the oil ran out and the Kusanagi sword passed through him, Sarutobi Hiruzen had not made up his mind to die with Orochimaru.

So, the only explanation for why he chose Taijutsu as a fighting method is that he was confident that he could completely suppress Orochimaru in Taijutsu. Even if he couldn't kill him on the spot, it was enough to ensure that his disciples would give up their evil behavior.

What is this concept? This is Sarutobi Hiruzen's confidence in his own physical skills is much greater than his escape skills, even at that age.

Therefore, Sakichi already believed 80% of what Sarutobi Konohamaru said, but even so, he is not the only one who is proficient in Taijutsu in Konoha Village now, so why should he keep staring at him.

"Even so, it may be difficult to find a three-legged toad in Konoha, but it is quite easy to find a ninja who is proficient in taijutsu." At this point, Saki counted with Konohamaru on his fingers, "Hinata The people at home are almost invincible in close combat. When it comes to fists and kicks, Rock Lee is your brother Naruto's classmate, and he can beat me by several blocks. In addition, there is your uncle, Sarutobi Asuma, with his chakra sword. It’s also extremely sharp.”

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, are you going to teach me or not?"

The naughty child couldn't stand the teasing, but seeing Konohamaru's furious look and his cute little pout, Saki immediately felt that he was going a little too far. They were still just children.

"Sakichi-nii also knows that their taijutsu is not suitable for everyone, but you. What everyone mentions most often is hard work." It may be due to the alienation of the relationship. Udon, who is not very close to Sakichi on weekdays, is bold. He spoke his mind.

It is true that there are many restrictions in the ninja world, not only the blood inheritance limit, but also the threshold of taijutsu is not low.

On the contrary, as an outsider, after several years of training, he has performed well, making others mistakenly think that his physical skills are easy to learn.

That is really a big mistake. Hard work itself is an act that requires talent.

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Zoji slowly said his decision to the kid in front of him: "Then you just have to wait and see, I will only do it once."

"One-size-fits-all"
