Naruto's caged bird

Chapter 274: Shadow represents the village?

The afternoon light shines on the face, and the fifth class who passed the assessment is walking back

On the way home, Sarutobi Asuma gazed listlessly at the sky above Konoha. The setting sun in the west had not completely set yet, and the time seemed to be still early, far from being as late as dusk.

At this time, Asuma was not in a good mood, just like the accumulating clouds, she always felt a little blocked. Maybe it’s because my performance in the tutor’s assessment was not outstanding, and I was teased and let others steal the limelight of my victory.

Asuma lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the stupid teammate beside him, who was as if he had been beaten to death. Hot-blooded and excited Metkai

"Practice hard, work hard, and practice hard."

Kaiulie walked with a bang, like a tractor filled with gutter oil.

"Hmph." The little nose on the side suddenly arched, and Yuhi Kurenai, who was obviously a little disappointed, couldn't help but muttered to the depressed Asuma:

"Did we make a mistake?"

Sarutobi Asuma looked sideways at the girl next to him, and after recalling the power of Ashizi Yaki against the roasted suckling pig, he replied:

"Almost"

"Ohooo" the girl responded angrily, as if to say: Why aren't you afraid that he will be roasted? He is so alive.

Asma then looked at Metkai, who had been beside him after howling. The stubborn second-generation shadow suddenly wanted to say something, but found that he was no longer as arrogant as he was at first.

He opened his mouth and hesitated

After walking for a while, when I was in front of the next fork, I still walked forward despite hesitation:

"Hey, it's me next time"

"Uh, what are you talking about?" Metkai stiffened his head, obviously not understanding the meaning of Sarutobi Asuma's sudden words. He wanted to ask clearly, but when he looked back, he only saw his teammates walking towards the fork in the road without looking back.

As if he was still awake from the chicken blood, the confused Metkai tried to look at Yuhi Hong on the other side to ask, but he only saw the girl giving him a thumbs up, shaking her fist fiercely, and disappearing in a gust of wind. At the intersection

On the road to the village, Metkai was left alone

Kai, looked ahead at the road surrounding Konoha Village.

Oh, it turns out the village has arrived

He arched his brows, being so excited that he didn't understand what his teammates meant at all. But no matter how you think about it, what they said should be good. They couldn't be talking about practicing hard.

Thinking foolishly, young Metkay seemed to have figured it out. He looked at the road that surrounded the entire Konoha Village and tightened his hand. There can only be one person on the road of fools

The four or five o'clock light shone on his smiling face. The boy, whose face was burned red, wiped away the sweat that was covered by the thick bangs on his forehead and took the first step of his efforts.

The wind that blew through the leaves blew by, evaporating the sweat and giving it a hint of coolness.

At this time, other teams participating in the instructor assessment also completed their tasks before dusk.

Outstanding teenagers always pass the examination and become ninjas, while lucky children return to the Konoha Ninja School of their childhood to continue experiencing the life that a child should have.

The third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who loves to peek, still goes out on official business every year, using his artifact-like crystal ball to peek between the various ninja teams. If Hinata's voyeurism was born after opening her eyes, then the old man's hobbies were cultivated after becoming Hokage and taking power.

The shrunken figures in the crystal ball show the performance of each team like a movie.

The thoughtful Sarutobi Hiruzen tugged at the goatee on his chin, putting down the work at hand from time to time to think. He looked at those tiny bodies and sighed:

"Kakashi Hatake is worthy of being Sakumo's son, the genius of Konoha's generation."

Excellent genes are always inherited. Kakashi is the only one among the candidates who passed this year to grab the bell by relying on his own planning and strength.

Moreover, I grabbed two in one grab

This may be because Namikaze Minato is too kind to retain his strength, but it has to be said that the strength of young Kakashi is far ahead of the young ninjas of the same generation. As the only one to grab two bells, Kakashi chose to give one of the bells to Nohara Rin, while keeping one for himself.

This time, Class 7, the only one left was the grinning Uchiha Obito doll who was trapped on the pillar.

Uchiha often produces geniuses, but it is rare for a member of the clan to be a laggard in a ninja team. And struggling on the edge of being eliminated

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the table, and did not turn the crystal ball until he saw the three members of the team eating lunch together.

The Third Hokage seemed quite satisfied with the strength of this generation of genin. Especially Class 7, who had reported doubts at first, seemed to have long since passed and no longer worried. After all, that is the ninja team that his son belongs to, and the Hokage will take a second look.

Many genius ninjas are born in the ninja world every year, but there are not many ninjas who have the courage to make decisions in the face of difficulties and temptations.

Today, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied to see two of them.

One chooses to take responsibility through sacrifice, the other chooses to give up through patience.

Even as Hokage, he couldn't accurately evaluate which one of them performed better, but no matter what, he was honored that his son was one of them. This made him smile with satisfaction, and he felt wise and mighty in arranging that guy like Hinata Hizashi, who doesn't follow common sense, to be his child's teacher.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the only one I have seen in his decades of ninja career who dared to stand up and sacrifice himself at such a young age.

Perhaps this is the reason why Hyuga Hizashi chose Metkai to be his disciple. The moment he saw Kai standing within the attack range of Haijiyaki, even the Hokage was stunned by the young man's courage.

Should I call him stupid or stupid?

Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his goatee, which reminded him of those stupid people he used to be. But compared to the qualities shown by Metkai, Sarutobi, as a father, was more satisfied with the little boy in his family. Asma seems to have grown a lot unconsciously

He sighed with some relief, and when he was about to pick up the pipe that had already placed the tobacco leaves unconsciously on the table, he remembered his son's last choice to give up. Ren Xiong gave a rare forced smile, lit it again, and then resolutely put out the fire in his hand.

There is no father who does not hope that his son will become a dragon, even if he is already a dragon among men.

Shinobu also has a tender side

A loud knock on the door came from the front

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately glanced at the door frame, and he already knew who was coming outside the door with just one perception. So after half a minute of quitting, the Third Hokage picked up the pipe on the table again and said towards the door:

"Come in."

Smoke started to rise, and Umino Toshihiko came from the door. Umino Toshihiko, who was sweating from the afternoon sun, handed over the information he had compiled in his hands after entering:

"The Third Hokage, the results have been calculated. A total of 11 teams passed the assessment of the team leader and graduated successfully."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Toshihiko." Taking the submitted ninja information, Hiruzen Sarutobi began to look at the number of genin who passed the examination.

Only at this point can we truly call the boys above us ninjas

Sarutobi seriously analyzed the 70% passing rate in the above statistics. The number of genin who passed the team teacher's assessment this year was much higher than in previous years. This is the class with the highest pass rate among genin in recent years, but it is not because the newly graduated genin are any better than in previous years.

Just because the country and the village need it, just because the number of Konoha ninja reserves is needed, just because of the need, the assessment requirements are specially lowered.

After all, there are only a few geniuses like Kakashi in the ninja world. And it has always been the middle and lower class ninjas who maintain the order and number of the current ninja world.

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his bowed head. He looked at Toshihiko Umino, who had been somewhat serious and silent these days, and looked at the 11 young genin in his hands.

Asma

He suddenly said to Umino Toshihiko:

"Toshiyan, do you think it's right for me to do this? Is it right for the village to do this?"

Umino Toshihiko was suddenly asked and froze in place. After weighing it for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer.

Yes, the Hokage decides on behalf of the village for the village

Outside the window, the branches that were broken by the last strong wind have died, but new buds have grown from the broken branches.

Umino Toshihiko withdrew his confused gaze, and he suddenly thought of something

Once a year, spring passes and autumn comes, and it’s the graduation season again.

In Hokage Yanxiaying's office, a somewhat old words floated out:

"Junyan, teach them well"

As he walked out, he suddenly wanted to say: OK
