Konoha, January 26th, 61
Country of Hot Soup
This small country in the gap of the three countries of Cloud, Water, and Fire,
Has beautiful scenery and many hot springs,
Is an excellent place for leisure. Merchants come and go,
Nobles of various countries, passing ninjas,
All like to come here for vacation,
And trade some gossip. Of course,
There are also strongholds of various parties. The tavern is Mist Ninja's,
The souvenir shop is Shinobu Iwa's,
The sushi is Thunder Ninja's … and Konoha, has the most luxurious hot spring hotel in the entire country of hot soup, the Toryuya. But this is only on the surface,
There are always some people who are more shameful than ninjas, who like hidden places where people rarely go.
For example, an underground lava cave.
Countless holes and forks in the road are filled with steam, and there are hot springs all the way.
Some hot springs are very comfortable to soak in, and some will turn into a pile of soft white bones if you fall in. But Aoha Yamashiro never soaks in such a simple hot spring. "Hey, you took my things, and you didn't even say thank you."
"Thank you."
"Actually, you don't have to thank me." Aoha waved his hand. "It was a coincidence that I was able to return to Konoha this time. Before I left, I suddenly remembered that you asked me how to sneak back to Konoha safely, so I copied an Anbu patrol map.
But. "
"You didn't draw the whole map, did you?" “
"Don't worry, it's complete." Aoha sighed.
"It's a good last wish that you want to go back and take a look before you die. But I still feel that instead of taking such a big risk just to take a peek,
You might as well go directly to the gate of Konoha.
Wait for Chuyun and Zi Tie to be on duty and shout, "Hey, long time no see, everyone."
"And then? He continued to shout, "Are you all still alive?" I'm still alive, hahaha, you can't recognize me, right? I'm the legendary Uchiha Belt Soil, the Belt Soil who gave Kakashi a Sharingan ~ "A head popped out of the hot spring. Half of the head was that of a normal 30-year-old man with black eyes and black hair unique to the Uchiha clan. The other half was hideous and distorted, covered with repeated growth of scars, and did not look human at all.
"What do you mean by roaring? That's energy radiating all around." Aoha Yamashiro squatted down quietly, picked up the ointment, and carefully applied it on the scar. "Konoha Hospital has almost taken over all of Orochimaru's research materials. Rather than waiting for death here, why don't you just go back openly? Belt Soil and Danzō are dead. Uchiha Fugaku is also dead. The Third Generation is reasonable. The Fourth Generation should be able to protect you. "
"But what if he doesn't want to protect me?" The man called Belt Soil turned over and lay on the stone platform, allowing Aoha to help him wipe the equally ugly scars on his upper body. "Watergate -sensei has changed. He massacred National capital and massacred civilians. Someone in Konoha and the Fire Country helped him spread propaganda and brainwash the people. But outside? We know best what kind of impression people have when they talk about the Yellow Flash. He's a demon who kills people like flies, and he's capable of stopping children from crying. He's willing to do anything for Konoha, and the Sandaime-sama dares to say that he has a clear conscience. But what's the difference between Minato-sensei and Shimura Danzo? My teacher is already a big villain. "
"Don't say such childish things. The Fourth Generation only has one less Danzō." Aoha Yamashiro understood Uchiha's Belt Soil. But reality is not a cartoon. There are no villains and friends of justice. And ninjas have no sense of right and wrong. They take money and go out on missions. It doesn't matter if you kill a good person or desperately protect a bad person. Of course, no ninja village will tell their ninjas that they are villains. But as people grow up, they will always realize what kind of work they are doing. "The current leader of Uchiha is Itachi. I asked To Micro -san. The matter of that year ended with Shisui. The younger ones don't know anything. When Itachi inherited the position, he killed a group of old people. You don't have to worry about Uchiha putting pressure on Konoha. At worst, you can change your name to Shisui and change it to Shisui."
"…"
"Don't tell me you're still complaining about the fourth generation? He didn't give up on you on purpose. Danzō wants to put the blame on Uchiha for Nine Tails' attack on Konoha. The Third and Fourth Generations think that excluding Uchiha is not good for Konoha at all. While they are talking, you, an Uchiha who clearly died on the battlefield, suddenly came back and said that the Nine Tails was a conspiracy of Uchiha Macula. How can the Third and Fourth Generations believe you? Besides, you saw how badly injured the Fourth Generations were at that time. What can he do if he fainted after saying a few words? "
"…"
"Well, let's analyze it rationally. If you are like Orochimaru -san and have a group of followers around you, then things will be very troublesome. But at that time, you were just a silly little Chunin, a ten-year-old child. Even if you almost caused serious consequences because of your testimony against the Uchiha, you were just being used by them. As for why you are still alive and only appeared now, to be honest … As long as you don't run away during a mission, faking your death to escape is not a big crime in Konoha. "
"…"
"Not all ninjas dare to kill people without fear of death. Instead of letting those people drag their companions down during a mission, it is better to let them give up their ninja identity as soon as possible and live as civilians. Toru Kato from the same generation as the Fourth Generations. In theory, he died before he graduated, but look at what he is doing now. He is helping Konoha open a chain of hot spring hotels. And let me tell you, it is not just the Fourth Generations. The Third Generations are also doing this kind of thing, and it is the same in other villages. Indeed, every ninja who leaves the village is a rebellious ninja, but how many of them are really wanted? You have not harmed the interests of Konoha over the years, and you have not been reported for robbing houses. You have also helped the external intelligence system to obtain a lot of important information. You were the one who provided the clues to the collapse of Konoha. "
"…"
"Belt Soil, in fact, I still have resentment in my heart. I originally planned to not return to Konoha for the rest of my life, but … you didn't see how bad the Fourth Generations' health is now. No, what I want to say is, go to Konoha and see for yourself. Then you will know that everyone's sacrifice was worth it. "
"…"
"Hey." Aoha Yamashiro's mouth was dry from talking. "Give me some reaction. If you don't say anything, I will think that you died before you fulfilled your last wish."
"No, I'm not dead yet." Belt Soil sat up and scratched his head. "I just have a question. Since you have already identified with the current Konoha and Watergate -sensei, why did you still escape the interrogation department's investigation?"
"Isn't it because of you! It is not a felony for you to fake your death. I have been bewitched by you all these years, and I have even given you some information about Konoha from time to time. Although you helped me exchange information with other information dealers, I didn't report it … "Suddenly, Aoha Yamashiro fell silent.
"Oh, your reaction is quite fast. Are you curious, how did I know that you escaped the confession serum? You are the only source of my information in Konoha. "
Aoha Yamashiro looked at Belt Soil's body softly falling down, and a great panic rose in his heart.
"Trust between people. Aoha, Watergate -sensei has already moved to Hatake's old house to live with Kakashi, but your Anbu in the picture is still crowded in Minato's house. "
Aoha Yamashiro felt a sharp pain all over his body, and then he found himself looking up at himself. He didn't say anything, but his mouth was opening and closing.
"But this is also good."
Aoha Yamashiro looked at himself pointing on the wall and opening a stone door. He knew that this lava cave existed even before he was sent to the Land of Hot Soup, but he never knew that there was a stone door! But there was no point in regretting it. He could only watch as he picked himself up from the ground, stuffed himself into a glass container filled with green juice, and then looked at his own body jumping up and down in front of the mirror, combing his hair, wiping his sunglasses, knocking on the glass container, and saying, "I'm not very satisfied with your body, but it's still very suitable as a transition product. Also, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my lovely eyes for the time being ~ until I find a body compatible with the Sharingan."
Aoha Yamashiro tried to overcome the pain brought to him by Belt Soil's body, but he could only make a sound.
From Aoha Yamashiro's body, the voice that belonged to Uchiha Belt Soil was coming closer and closer to Naruto's trusted tokubetsu Jonin. "Sleep in peace, my friend, I will return to Konoha as you wish."
In the Land of Fire, Konoha
The wind with a soft temperature gently blew the earth, and all living things were sprouting. Konoha was full of sharp tea-green color. Small animals were also alive. Well, people were the same. So Konoha was particularly noisy these days, especially in the mission hall.
In less than two months, Konoha will be taking the Chunin Exam again. Whether it was those who couldn't get promoted or those who just graduated, all the Genin were working hard to complete D-level missions. Because Naruto's office issued the first Naruto Order of the year. In order to facilitate the calculation and distribution of year-end bonuses, the previous year's mission record will be reset to zero on February 1st every year. (It won't affect the overall record, but a new annual settlement will be added, that is, the work of the Genin in a year will be counted in years.) But, but!
Naruto's building, at the gate, there were about 15 minutes before the mission hall opened for business. Waiting in line is a good discipline.
"Reset to zero just like that! Participating in the Chunin Exam requires a mission record! Although it's not difficult to complete 20 D-level missions in 60 days, Konoha doesn't have that many missions to give so many Genin points! " Konoha's Ninja Dog, Mizuka, jumped in line and looked at the sea of people in front of him. "How about we go to the General Staff Department and block the gate?"
"It's not too late to block them when they can't complete it. And I don't think blocking Genma -sama is useful. I heard from my dad that the Four Generations casually mentioned it at the beginning of the month meeting, and no one objected, so … "Shino adjusted his small sunglasses. Before, his father was rarely at home, so he kept a low profile based on the principle of less trouble. But now that his father is back and has become a high-ranking Konoha official, he doesn't need to hide anymore." What did your dad say to you, Hinata? "
"Well, my dad didn't say anything about it." She felt that Naruto seemed to be a lot more handsome than before. Well, he finally took off his legendary orange jacket that was exactly the same as the one in his closet and replaced it with a cool black one. He looked super stable. She couldn't help but sigh. Finally, he took off his legendary orange jacket that was exactly the same as the one in the closet and replaced it with a cool black one.
Naruto received Hinata's gaze, but he only dared to hug Shikamaru and whisper to himself. "I'm sorry, haha, I probably dragged you down again. If I didn't tell my dad that my D-level mission record was three times the normal, he probably wouldn't have remembered it at all!" Ow ow ow! Naruto is really scary! Just a simple change of policy would make everyone flustered! Shy girls are also scary! Hinata is good, she can definitely catch up with him! But once she catches up with him, what if one day they quarrel and break up? He will be killed! He will definitely be beaten to death by the Hinata clan!
But Sakura really had no interest in Naruto. Naruto wasn't ugly. The Four Generations were so handsome, so how could Naruto be ugly? But Naruto's family's young master was childish, spoiled, inconsiderate, and always joking with no sense of propriety. He was also a bit of a male chauvinist … In short, Sakura, who was kissing Sasuke, was really satisfied with her boyfriend. The silent handsome man didn't talk much, but he would silently help her carry things and give her small gifts. And no one in Uchiha's family objected. Sasuke's mother knew that they needed to line up early in the morning to snatch the mission and get the Chunin Exam admission ticket. Not only did she prepare a lunch for Sasuke, she also specifically asked her what she liked to eat! She even specially brought a lunch for her!
Chūdō Choji only cared about the lunch. Sasuke's mother's cooking was really good. When he was young, he would go to Sasuke's house to eat with Uncle Naruto and his father … It was delicious.
"Okay, okay, stop looking, here you go." Sasuke really couldn't stand Choji. But he couldn't be too harsh. Because this little fatty was already pitiful enough. Shikamaru was promoted to Jonin, Infield was always on leave, and now even Sensei Asuma was nowhere to be seen. In the end, it was Dingzhuo -sama who directly went to Naruto's father and asked Kakashi -sensei to take care of him at the last minute.
Uh, following Sasuke's angry gaze, all the Genin and instructor Jonin twitched their mouths and gritted their teeth as they looked at Kakashi, who was at the front of the line. Hatake Kakashi, an elite Jonin who was briefly the head of the Black Ops for a few days and was later demoted from Konoha's top management. But these days, he insisted on snatching missions from the Genin … Hehehe.
Kakashi also chuckled.
"Um, Kakashi -sensei. Can you give us a valuable mission today? " Yamato, yes, Sasuke and Sakura had returned. The unlucky one, the one who lost the drill, the one who lost half a year's salary and bonus to buy ramen coupons, the one who was temporarily stripped of his position as Guard Captain and returned to being a Genin instructor, had returned. "Really, I'm so poor that I can't even afford to eat in the cafeteria."
"Put it on credit." Kakashi coldly glanced at Yamato, and the thought of simply running away rose in his mind. But when he looked at Jiraiya on the treetop, he could only continue to persist. His sensei solemnly handed his father's belt to Jiraiya, and then told him to supervise and beat him as he saw fit. As long as he didn't beat him to death, he would be counted as White Fang's.
"Counted my ass." Kakashi bitterly looked up at Naruto's office.
Our Naruto silently left the window. He had to find something interesting for Jiraiya sensei to do, or else his heart wouldn't feel at ease.
Sagittarius pitied his son. "Asuma, sensei, his induction training is complete. Do you want him to join your guard?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Shui Men threw the leftover breakfast into the trash can. As for the lunch box … He had worked overtime last night and slept two hours late. When he woke up this morning, he felt like he had been run over. "Call Asuma over."
Dingzhuo opened and closed the door, letting Sarutobi and Asuma in.
“010829。”
"Yes, Four Generations -sama."
"Your ninja number isn't as impressive as Itachi's."
Sarutobi and Asuma didn't know how to respond. What did Four Generations mean by that?
If Asuma didn't understand and asked, Naruto would have told him that he was just joking.
If Itachi was here, he would have patted Asuma's shoulder and told him that Naruto simply thought that 012110 was easy to remember, really.
But Asuma didn't ask. Itachi was hunting down traitors all over the world, so Asuma came to this conclusion. The Sarutobi family wasn't as powerful as the Uchiha family, but once you become the captain of Naruto's guard, things will be different.
Well, becoming the captain of Naruto's guard is the fastest way for a Konoha Jonin to get promoted. It's just that … Asuma finally saw the internal training materials of the Anbu department, the "Kakashi Handbook", after finishing the mission of guarding Sarutobi's house. The other Anbu department members, especially the guards, were all brainwashed. When the Four Generations Naruto was mentioned, it was like a National Capital girl talking about her favorite movie star. They absolutely wouldn't allow others to say anything bad about their idol. But Asuma, who has been idle for many years and can't keep up with the youth's pace, still has a clear mind. It's really embarrassing.
But for Naruto, it doesn't seem to be important. "In short, you should understand the meaning of being the captain of Naruto's guard."
"Yes, Sama." Asuma stood at attention. Asuma was complacent. After waiting for so many years, he could finally put the past behind him. "I'm at your disposal at any time, sir."
"Well, then help me wash my lunch box first."
"Lunch, lunch box?"
Lunch box is a very important thing.
