Naruto's Endless Pretense

The commotion soon died down.The next day, Konoha was peaceful again.

Hanabi was wrapped in hay in a bush, and she was sleeping when Kakashi arrived.Tayuya was also taken to the hospital for treatment in time by Sasuke. He is currently hospitalized and it will take some time for him to fully recover.

The barrier for the exam, which was jointly constructed by the illusion class and the barrier class, was confirmed to have been destroyed by Itachi.Kurama Yakumo and Yuhi Kurenai, the people who directly affected it, were in coma while maintaining the barrier and are still unconscious.

Fortunately, the village had made multiple preparation plans for the exam. With the full work of Sasuke and the Nara clan, the second exam was barely completed without any danger.What everyone doesn't know is that behind this exam, there has been a life and death battle.It seems that the senior officials of the Sand Ninja were informed of the news and chose to remain silent out of consideration for their own village.

In short, this incident came to an end.There are a few more permanent patients in Konoha Hospital. Tayuya and Mitsuyoshi withdrew from the chunin exams midway due to injuries.Among the three parties in the conflict, only Xianglin finally succeeded in advancing under the protection of Sakon.

In the final list of the black and white teams that advanced, Gaara from Sand Ninja Village and Naruto from Konoha both successfully advanced.Xiao Li and Tiantian were knocked down by several groups of hostile genin while searching for Neji. Although their lives were not in danger, they were still defeated.The group of Hinata, Kiba and Shino escaped most of the battles and successfully advanced due to their excellent intelligence gathering abilities.

However, whether it is the follow-up matters of the Chunin Exams or Konoha's aftermath of Itachi's invasion, they have nothing to do with Sasuke.For him, who has emerged from his role as an examiner, he only cares about his own affairs.

Ninja School, this school founded by the second generation Hokage, has flourished in the hands of the third generation.The goal of protecting the children until they could stand on their own was successfully achieved, a situation that was only broken when they were attacked by a ferret not long ago.

On this peaceful day, Sasuke returned to the place he had left for nearly a year.Looking at the swing in the corner of the playground swinging in his memory, Sasuke couldn't help but feel emotional.But he didn't come here to reminisce about the first truly peaceful and uneventful years.

In the ninja school, there are not only innocent boys and girls.There is also an elder who retires and observes everything secretly, influencing Konoha.

Gently pushing open the door to the principal's office, Sasuke saw that familiar look again.Sandai hurriedly hid the crystal ball and took out the documents with a pipe in his mouth to correct them carefully. From time to time, he carefully rolled his eyes up and aimed at the door.

"Third-generation old man, stop pretending, the documents were held backwards again."

As the third generation laughed awkwardly, Sasuke closed the door, unceremoniously moved a stool and sat across from the third generation.Perhaps it was the growth in strength that allowed Sasuke to become more casual even when facing the third generation who once needed to be treated with caution.The height difference between the old and the young also puts an invisible pressure on the three generations.

"If you really want to do this, can you lock the door?"

"No, the children may come to me with something at any time. If you close the door of the principal's office so seriously, it will not be good for the education of the next generation."

"It's not good to teach you if you are seen like this!"

The two laughed loudly and then fell silent. The atmosphere in the office instantly became a little breathless.This rapid change in atmosphere is like the abrupt change of BGM between two CG scenes in a video game.

"Old man, I heard from my subordinates

The entire battle.I think you probably got the report as well. "

Sasuke got himself a cup of hot tea from the iron bottle on his desk and drank it alone.

"The Soyaki no Jutsu, this Fire Release is a ninjutsu used exclusively by Anbu, right? Why do Mitsuki's companions use it, and what are the identities of the three of them?"

The third generation was not surprised when he heard Sasuke's rambling words. He immediately reacted, as if he expected that Sasuke would come to him to talk about this matter.

"The same goes for that kid from Frost Village. He doesn't pay attention when using it. I'll tell you what happened now. The three of them are reserve members of the ANBU guard who were selected when I was still in office."

Similar to the Hokage Guards of the Fourth Hokage, the Third Hokage also has corresponding guards around him to protect him.However, unlike the fourth generation, the third generation was a ninja selected directly from the ANBU, and his identity was more secretive.

Judging from the age and strength of the Guangyi team, the three of them should not be the exact guards, but the new generation of ninjas selected by the three generations for the village.However, in Sasuke's memory, there is no plot where these three people were active. Did they die in an unknown AOE?

"I just came out from Grandma Tsunade, and she gave me a new task. She made me the official proctor of the Chuunin Exams. That's all. Although it's troublesome, it's a job with a good reason."

Sasuke said, slamming the tea cup in front of the third generation, and the spilled tea stained the documents on the table dark.

"But why did you ask me to become the captain of Mitsuki and the others after the Chuunin Exams? That bastard wanted to kill my subordinates. You know this, right?"

The third generation silently put away the soiled documents, and waited until Sasuke's breathing became evener before he slowly began to answer Sasuke's questions.

"I'm sorry about this, because the decision to let you lead this team was made before the Chunin Examination. No one could have guessed that things would turn out like this."

"Then cancel this matter quickly, otherwise I can't guarantee what I will do to them."

Sasuke's cold tone made the third generation's eyes sharpen again. He took the teacup that Sasuke had patted and patted it in front of Sasuke again.

"Calm down Sasuke. You are already a special Jonin. You should not just do things based on your own feelings, but also understand the thoughts of the village."

The third generation stared closely into Sasuke's eyes, without any of the peace he had when he was joking before.

"I appreciate your idea of ​​​​valuing your companions, but your vision is too narrow. We are all ninjas in the same village. Tayuya and the others are your companions, so aren't Mitsuki and the others the same?"

"Furthermore, Guangyi's style is wrong, so it's even more necessary for you to persuade them. Tolerate all people and lead them back to the right path. If you don't do this, you won't be able to be Hokage."

Sasuke was stunned again and again when he heard this. There was something in Sandai's words that made him a little unbelievable.

"So I left Class No. 11, where are Tayuya and the others?"

"As they say, if nothing else happens, you should still be directly under your leadership. But it won't be in Class [-] anymore."

Sandai took a drag of his cigarette hesitantly, and the choking smoke completely separated him from Sasuke.

"Inside the 'root'."
