Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Chapter 378 99

"Yota-ah."

Iruka and Yota sat on the Hokage Rock, looking out over the entire Konoha Village.

"Master Jiraiya wants me to teach you well, but I actually think that you will gradually understand those things. You are still young, and if I ask you to remember them, you still won't understand."

Looking at the sunset in the distance, Iruka's mind was filled with the smiles of his former friends, but in the end, every face would turn into Mizuki's final murderous hideous expression.

With a sigh, Iruka said calmly to Yota, "I think a bond is what you need, Yota. You have friends, right?"

"Yes, Uzumaki Naruto."

"..."

Iruka felt a little annoyed. That kid wasn't a sensible person either. When these two got together...it was hard to say who was the bigger bastard.

And the key point is that Uzumaki Naruto is the principal's son. If you rashly teach him, it would be suspected of overstepping one's authority. Even though everyone knows that Principal Namikaze Minato is a gentle and understanding person, it is still an unpleasant practice.

Minato Namikaze could choose not to choose a class for his son and assign him to a class at will, but he couldn't really teach Iruka at will after he was assigned to one.

In order to avoid being criticized, Iruka was relatively relaxed in educating these children who had families and powerful backgrounds, because they would eventually inherit their family's ninjutsu and power.

But it doesn't work with Tai.

Yota, who had no parents, was brought to Konoha alone.

Then, Hiruhu, who had brought Yota to Konoha, ran away without saying a word.

This child is actually quite pitiful.

Iruka thought, smiling at Yota.

"Let's go. Today, the teacher will take you home to calm you down~"

With that, Iruka stood up and took two limping steps.

The penetrating wound inflicted by Shuimu on his thigh was still there, and even after two days, it had not healed.

"I'm not surprised, but Mr. Mizuki, why didn't he come out?"

"Mizuki-sensei..."

Iruka was dejected.

"Maybe there will be other tasks. It's hard to see."

......

"Uchiha Sasuke, you passed the Genin exam with all S's, congratulations."

Iruka smiled and handed Sasuke a ninja forehead protector.

Sasuke was still cool, but after taking the ninja forehead protector, there was still some arrogance on his face.

Now, he is a ninja just like Itachi!

"Uzumaki Naruto, SSA, only his Substitution Technique skills are a little off, but he's still very talented, Naruto."

Naruto jumped up happily, rushed in front of Iruka and stuck his head over.

Iruka did not spoil the fun and personally put the forehead protector on Naruto.

"Yeah! I'm a ninja too! Hahahaha!"

"idiot......"

Sakura rolled her eyes at Naruto.

"Haruno Sakura..."

......

"Yota... Triple E, can't pass the Genin exam, ugh..."

Iruka sighed.

In the end, Yuta did not succeed in mastering the Three Body Technique.

"Yota, what happened to you? I've become a Genin!"

Naruto gave a thumbs up and pointed to the forehead protector on his head.

"Also, where did you go the past two days?"

"Don't mention it~"

Yota waved his hand.

"I was caught stealing and thrown into jail for two days. If it weren't for that, I would definitely have mastered the Three Body Technique."

"Yeah! I believe you!"

Uzumaki Naruto didn't consider the logical issues here at all, and just blindly believed in Yuta.

"But he was caught and taken to jail! How cool! Yota, you're way cooler than that cocky Sasuke!"

Naruto shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that Sasuke on the other side couldn't hear him.

Sasuke glanced over here with disdain, then left the examination venue in a defiant manner.

After becoming a Genin, there are no more classes, but you still have to register for ninja qualifications tomorrow. Every ninja has a special record file.

"Ignore that guy!"

Naruto tugged at Yota.

"At worst, I can wait for you for a year. Next year, when you graduate, we can go on missions together!"

"You're indeed a good brother! Naruto, just hearing your words is enough! I'll go catch some fish later, and I'll grill the first one for you!"

The corner of Naruto's eye twitched.

He remembered that Yota never seemed to catch a fish, let alone catch one.

Of course, Yota would not let Naruto wait for him for a year. He knew that after all the Twelve Ninjas of Konoha graduated, there would need to be a senior ninja to lead the team. This is the beginning of the story.

......

the other side.

Orochimaru called Kakashi.

"Kakashi, you've seen that man, right?"

"What... Which man, Yondaime-sama?"

Kakashi was a little confused.

"Rain Country, Rain Village, Akatsuki Organization, code name, Kong Chen."

Kakashi stiffened.

"Yondaime-sama...I don't know what you're talking about."

Kakashi would never admit it no matter what.

After all, even if that was really his father, his father must be carrying out some mission that even Orochimaru didn't know about.

Moreover, Kakashi, who had been in the Anbu for many years, had already seen through what happened that year, and Orochimaru must have been involved.

"Hahaha, Kakashi, I have always admired you. Whether it's talent or brainpower, you are the best among ninjas."

"Thank you, Yondaime-sama."

Kakashi hunched over, head lowered, expression unchanged.

"Are you interested in changing jobs?"

When Kakashi heard this, he knew that Orochimaru was not asking, but informing.

Orochimaru must have already made arrangements, and asking him is just a formality.

"It's all at the Yondaime-sama's command."

"Okay, there are some promising young talents among the new graduates. I plan to form a few special teams to carry out specialized training. I want you to lead Team 7."

"Team 7, huh..."

Kakashi muttered these three words, and a trace of nostalgia flashed across his single eye that was staring at the ground.

Has it been so many years?...

"I understand, Yondaime-sama. Then the Anbu..."

"Who do you think is the most suitable person to be the new leader of the Anbu?"

Orochimaru asked Kakashi with a faint smile.

Kakashi looked up, completely unable to decipher any meaning from Orochimaru's smile.

Judging from background, qualifications and strength, Tenzo is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, Tenzo grew up in the Root since he was a child, and it was Orochimaru, the Hokage, who personally pulled him from the Root to the Anbu.

But Tianzang has a flaw that makes him very unsuitable to be a leader, that is, he is too obedient.

Loyalty is a good thing, but blind loyalty is dull and stupid. Being too obedient actually means not knowing how to adapt, which is fatal for the leader of any organization.

But the person Kakashi thought was the right candidate was not qualified enough and had a special background...

"Your Excellency the Fourth Daeme, I recommend Uchiha Itachi."

Orochimaru's smile widened.

"I trust your judgment, Kakashi."

Because Kakashi's judgment was consistent with his own.

"As a reward for your contributions to Konoha over the years, I can tell you a piece of news."

Kakashi Shinzo paused for half a beat.

He knew very well that the news Orochimaru mentioned at this time must be about Kong Chen.

"The possibility that Kong Chen is White Fang is 99 percent."

Watching Kakashi walk away like a zombie, Orochimaru pinched his chin.

"Hatake Sakumo, hehe, you're not dead. So who are you carrying out the mission for now..."
