Naruto training king

Hokage building, office.

Qingmi was making a brief report to the third generation. Although it was a bit tedious, it was better than writing the report by hand.

"This is how the mission went, Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and praised: "This mission has been completed very well. It not only solved the student problem of the ninja school, but also hired an excellent dean who is willing to be responsible for the children."

Qingmi rubbed his palms: "Then, Third Generation Sir, since the task has been overfulfilled, wouldn't it be better for the remuneration to be slightly overachieved?"

"Hahaha, no problem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and then asked: "Kiyomi, you will become an excellent ninja. Do you want to work in ANBU after graduation?"

Qingsi was stunned for a moment and did not answer.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not in a hurry. He picked up the blank scroll on the table, re-wrote a B-level mission, and finally signed and sealed it.

Then he handed the scroll to Qingmi and asked, "What do you think about it?"

Kiyomi took the scroll with both hands and continued: "Sandaime-sama, I am only in the first grade now, and it is still a long time before graduation. Let me think about it again."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised by Kiyomi's answer: "Well, you should think about it carefully. After all, life in the genin class is also a rare experience."

"Then, I'll leave first."

With that said, Kiyomi turned around and left the Hokage's office.

But as soon as he walked out of the office, Naruto couldn't wait to greet him and asked: "How was it? How was it?"

Qingmi waved the scroll in his hand: "Let's go to the hall downstairs to get the money!"

"That's great, I'm going to eat two bowls of ramen tonight to celebrate!" Naruto cheered happily.

If it weren't for the fact that rolling his eyes looked so weird, Kiyomi would have been unable to resist rolling his eyes to Naruto.

"Each of us can get at least 50,000 taels for this task, and a bowl of ramen is only 60 taels. Can you be of some use?"

Hearing this, Naruto immediately fell into deep thought.

After a while, he raised his head and said tentatively: "Then... add two more pieces of barbecued pork?"

"Alas!" Qingmi sighed, shook his head and said, "Just tell Uncle Ichiraku, 'A bowl of barbecued pork ramen, but no noodles'!"

"If I say this, will Uncle Yile hit me?"

"Would you know if you try it?"

…………

The sounds in the corridor gradually faded away. Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up the cigarette, lit it, and took a pleasant puff.

Then he took out two test papers from the documents in front of him and put them in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

One of these two test papers was used by Hinata Kiyomi in last year's exam, and the other was a test question that Itachi Uchiha answered when he took the early graduation exam a few years ago.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave them some of the same questions, and both children were 7 years old when they wrote down the answers.

7-year old……

What was I doing when I was 7 years old?

I don't know how much time passed, but he raised his head and looked at the door and shouted: "Itachi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Itachi pushed open the door of the office: "Hokage-sama."

"Take off the mask, it's not the ANBU's job now."

"Yes." Itachi nodded and reached out to take off his mask.

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the two test papers to Itachi: "Come and take a look at this."

Itachi took the test paper and took a look at it, and said with some surprise: "Sandaime-sama, I didn't expect you to still keep it."

"Haha..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Of course I still keep it. After all, I am quite surprised to see a 7-year-old child with a 'Hokage-like mind'."

Itachi nodded slightly: "The Third Generation is serious, it's just good luck."

From Itachi's point of view, he was indeed telling the truth.

For a 7-year-old child, the one he comes into contact with most is his family, followed by his tribe.

But for Itachi, who was only 6 years old at the time, a very major change occurred in Konoha Village - the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

On the night of the Kyuubi Rebellion, Shimura Danzo led the Roots to blockade the entire Uchiha clan. Coupled with the three magatama sharingan eyes in the Kyuubi's eyes, the Uchiha clan was driven out of the village during the reconstruction work of Konoha. the edge of……

This kind of behavior made almost all Uchiha people see the distrust of Uchiha from the top management of Konoha.

And it was this distrust that completely overwhelmed the entire Uchiha and led them to embark on the path of coup d'état.

But Uchiha Itachi was an exception.

On the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he was not in the Uchiha clan. Instead, he hugged Sasuke and evacuated with Izumi and most of the residents of Konoha Village.

On the way to escape, Itachi discovered that there was no distinction between Uchiha and Hinata among people. Everyone had only one common identity - residents of Konoha Village.

From that day on, Itachi broke away from the constraints of the Uchiha identity and thought about the world from the perspective of "an ordinary Konoha resident".

But for Sandai, it is already rare for a 7-year-old child to see the world from a more collective perspective, so he praised "Hokage-like thinking."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette and then asked: "Looking back at these questions now, will you still write the same answers?"

Itachi shook his head: "Sir, people will always grow. I will definitely write a more comprehensive answer now."

"A more comprehensive answer..." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "Still as a 'resident of Konoha Village'?"

"I am both Uchiha Itachi and a ninja of Konoha Village, so my answer will naturally combine these two identities."

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of white smoke: "Shisui's answer is the same, so he has been working hard to mediate the conflict between Konoha's top management and Uchiha."

Itachi sighed: "I hope he can succeed."

"Shisui's success is a good outcome for both Konoha and Uchiha."

After saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, picked up his cigarette and pointed at Hinata Kiyomi's test paper: "What do you think the world that this child Hinata Kiyomi sees is like?"

Itachi was silent for a moment, then said: "Maybe he stands higher than me."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Itachi." Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed, "If you can resolve the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha, you will definitely be able to stand higher."

The conflict between Uchiha and Konoha...

Thinking of this, a forced smile appeared on Itachi's face: "But Hinata Kiyomi has seen outside the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment, then exhaled a puff of white smoke and said with some emotion: "Yes, he saw the world outside the village."

It's just... I have a disciple who is like this too.

Starting from the identity of the Third Hokage, he hopes that Qingmi can focus on fighting for the village.

But from Hiruzen Sarutobi's personal perspective, peace will only truly come if more and more people in this world hope for peace.
