After sneezing, Minato blew his nose with a tissue.
"Sensei, do you have a cold?" Kakashi, who was wearing a ninja suit, asked with concern.
"Uh, a little bit. It's the flu that's been prevalent recently. You should also go to the hospital to get a vaccination." Minato threw the tissue into the trash can. His nasal voice was still a little heavy.
"This, Guy and I went to the hospital yesterday." Kakashi said.
"This time, I asked you to come over because of something important." Minato said seriously: "Kushina's due date is just the last day of the Chunin Exam. The one responsible for delivering the baby is Tsunade-sama, but the one responsible for maintaining the Kyuubi's seal is Jiraiya-sama …"
Kakashi's eyes flashed with a strange color: "Uh, this kind of thing, can't Jiraiya-sama be present?"
"Although Jiraiya-sama's temperament is a bit improper, he's absolutely reliable at critical moments." Minato held his chin with both hands, and his blue eyes were deep: "Moreover, this situation is a bit special, it's not Jiraiya-sama …"
"Special?"
"This is Kushina's second pregnancy. According to past experience, during the second pregnancy, the Kyuubi's seal will weaken at an unprecedented rate. Mito-sama is such a strong woman, she can even maintain the seal by herself during the first pregnancy. But during the second pregnancy, the seal almost broke. Fortunately, Shoidaime-sama arrived at the last moment and prevented the accident from happening …"
Kakashi said thoughtfully: "Shodaime-sama, that is to say … Mokuton's cells?"
Minato nodded: "Yes, in the village, only Jiraiya-sama has Shodaime-sama's cells. When he was defeated by Lin Yu, he used the last of Konoha's cells to save him. So this time, he's the only one responsible for maintaining the seal."
Kakashi nodded: "So that's how it is."
"In addition, Kakashi, I have a special task for you."
"Sensei, please say."
"On the last day of the Chunin Exam, I want you to …"
…
When Kakashi left the Hokage's Mansion, Guy had been waiting outside for a long time: "Kakashi, is the task of Yondaime-sama so special? Even a Jonin can't get close … "
Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the night sky. "Yeah, it's not just special. It's practically impossible …"
Guy said, "Let's go. It's been a long time since we last had a meal together. Everyone is waiting for us!"
Konoha Hotel.
Asuma, Inuzuka Hana, Mystical Flame Enma, and Mitarai Anko had all been waiting for a long time.
Only Genji Miyo and Anko Mitarashi were Tokubetsu Jonin.
Everyone else was already a Jonin!
All the genin under their guidance will participate in this year's Chunin Exam!
Nowadays, the Ninja World is full of unpredictable changes, causing all countries to have a sense of crisis. Affected by this, the education of Ninja Schools has accelerated.
Any child who performed outstandingly in the semester would have the opportunity to graduate early!
Konoha was no exception.
Even if he was pulling up seedlings to help them grow, he had no other choice.
As a result, the children who originally needed a few years to show their talents had already become genin.
For example, Team 7 led by Hatake Kakashi — Uzumaki Naruto, Hyuga Neji, Haruno Sakura!
Team 8 led by Inuzuka Hana — Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Jiraiya!
Team 9 led by Guy — Chila Aba, Rock Lee, Tian Tian!
Team 10 led by Sarutobi Asuma — Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino!
These are the twelve of Konoha today.
"Kurenai, still not here?" Kakashi pulled out a chair and sat down.
"…" Asuma smoked with a stubble of his beard.
Seven years ago, at the annual ninja meeting.
After returning from the Dark Village, Kurenai seemed to have changed. She would only appear when performing tasks and emergency gatherings, and she was often absent-minded. At other times, she didn't communicate with anyone, let alone participate in gatherings like this.
Seeing that Kurenai had become so withdrawn, he appointed her as a Jonin and wanted her to guide the seedlings of Konoha so that she could open her heart. Unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.
In just one month, she took the initiative to resign from her position as a Jonin.
Even Inuzuka Hana, who had a good personal relationship with her, gradually drifted away.
Asuma took a deep puff of the cigarette and gulped down the alcohol. Bang! He put the cup on the table and said: "Who knows what she is thinking, I don't understand at all!"
Kakashi said: "Some things are better to ask face to face. It's not good to always be so boring …"
Asuma sighed. "Do you think I haven't tried? But when I ask her out, she doesn't even turn up. The gifts I give her during festivals, she just throws them away. How am I supposed to communicate with her …?"
Kakashi's eyes were complicated, and he thought: Maybe seven years ago, when the Rain Village was destroyed, Guy and I should have broken into Sensei's office and told Minato-sensei about Kurenai's abnormality. Maybe things could be salvaged …
Asuma pressed the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said: "Let's not talk about her. It's rare to get together, let's talk about something happy. Guess how many Chunin will be promoted in our respective classes …"
At the entrance of Konoha Village, where the lights were waning, Kurenai's cold eyes stared at the man who was surrounded by the light. Her delicate hand unconsciously pressed the red bean tree beside her tightly!
If life is like the first time we meet, what is the sad autumn wind painting fan?
