From the night of genocide to the strongest

"I am fully aware of your purpose of coming."

The Third Hokage thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If you think that child Naruto is okay and he has your approval, then if you want to teach him, just teach him. There is no need to worry about anything."

He has also been watching Naruto's performance in the past two years. Although he still looks careless and heartless, he rarely plays pranks and no longer sleeps in class. Instead, he has become a

Children who practice hard and train hard.

This child is practicing hard for everyone’s recognition.

He was greatly relieved to realize this.

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage smiled and continued: "Naruto, that child's physique is very special. It can be said that he is very suitable for practicing taijutsu. You are getting older, and you can't just use this superb taijutsu.

Go into the coffin, it is a good thing to have a disciple to inherit the mantle."

Chen Baojun nodded and said solemnly: "I understand, Third Generation Master!"

"Yes." The Third Hokage nodded, showed a kind smile, and encouraged: "I also look forward to what kind of ninja Naruto who inherits the secret of Konoha Dragon God will be in the future."

"By the way, that child grew up without the love of his parents, and the people in the village also stayed away from him because of the rumors about the demon fox. In addition to the training of skills, you also need to take more care of him in other aspects."

Chen Baojun was silent for a while and said seriously: "I understand, and I will live up to your wishes."

"Haha, I believe you. Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and rest early. I, an old man, have to go back to sleep."

"yes!"

"Naruto, who practices taijutsu?"

"I wonder what kind of ninja I will become in the future?"

After Chen Baojun left, the Third Hokage looked at the photo of the Fourth Hokage hanging on the wall and said to himself.

"I didn't expect that Naruto did not inherit your and Kushina's talents in Ninjutsu and Sealing Techniques, but instead embarked on the path of Taijutsu."

The next day, as early as after lunch, Sakura walked towards the home of Kosuke Maruboshi, led by her father Haruno Zhao.

Halfway through, Sakura asked hesitantly, "Dad, is this really okay? Isn't it too rude to suddenly visit Grandpa Fousuke?"

"It's okay, Sakura!"

Haruno Zhao is a tall middle-aged man in his thirties. His dark pink hair is cut into a ridiculous five-pointed star shape, as if he has a Patrick Star on his head. He looks very funny.

At this moment, he showed his white teeth and said cheerfully: "Before coming here, I already said hello to Senior Gu Jie yesterday, and I am going to visit you today."

"But..." Sakura murmured in a low voice: "Would it be too abrupt and abrupt to disturb Grandpa Gusuke?"

"Hahaha, it's okay!" Haruno Zhao pinched his waist and laughed. Seeing that his daughter was a little uneasy: "Don't be nervous, Sakura. Seeing that you are so nervous, I will tell you a joke to relax your mood."

Sakura suddenly became expressionless: "No!"

Haruno Zhao also told his own joke regardless of his daughter's verbal rejection.

"Once upon a time, there was a bun. He got hungry while walking. Guess what happened next?"

Haruno Zhao asked with a mysterious face, but Sakura just looked expressionless.

"Later, he actually ate himself, poof, hahahahahahaha!"

Haruno Zhao held his hands and laughed, his eyebrows beaming with joy, and he almost burst into tears.

"You actually ate yourself, how stupid you are, hahahahaha!"

........

Haruno Zhao came back to his senses from the joke. Seeing that his daughter was still expressionless, he said strangely: "Huh? Isn't this joke funny? Then I'll tell you another one."

"Once upon a time there was a match..."

"That's enough, Dad!"

With a black look on her face, Sakura interrupted Haruno Zhao's cold joke and pulled him to say.

"Let's go to Grandpa Gu Jie's house as soon as possible. Don't keep Grandpa Gu Jie waiting."

"Uh..." Haruno Zhao swallowed the cold joke in his mouth with a look of reluctance.

"All right!"

The father and daughter continued to walk towards Kosuke Maruhoshi's house. During the process, Haruno Oujiu still couldn't forget the joke he had not finished telling.

"Sakura, this joke is very funny. Please hear me out."

"don't want!"

"Once upon a time there was a match..."

"That's enough, Dad!"

"...."

Maruhoshi Furusuke's house.

Maruboshi Kosuke's home cannot be said to be luxurious and spacious, nor can it be said to be simple and narrow. It is just an ordinary Japanese-style house.

In the guest room, Haruno Zhao was talking to Maruhoshi Kosuke, while Sakura beside her was sitting meticulously, silently without saying a word.

"Senior, I came to see you today because of Sakura's matter." After a few polite words, Haruno Zhao went straight to the topic.

"Sakura?" Kosuke Maruhoshi smiled and looked at Sakura who was quietly beside him.

When Sakura saw him looking over, she nodded obediently.

"Isn't Sakura going to graduate from the ninja school in two years? Senior, you are an experienced ninja, so I want Sakura to ask you for more advice in the future, so that she can become an outstanding ninja like senior. If I can be a teacher,

It would be better if I guided Sakura under my identity."

Maruboshi Kosuke laughed and said: "Zhao, you are a chuunin, and I am just a genin. If you ask me to guide Sakura, aren't you afraid that I will mislead you?"

"How could it be? Senior." Haruno Zhao said with a serious face: "Although senior is only a genin, I have done many missions with senior, and I know that senior's strength is not only this, but far better than me. Senior is too humble.

.”

Eh?

Does dad also think Grandpa Gu Jie is very powerful?

Sakura felt astonished in her heart.

Maruhoshi Kosuke was silent for a while, looking at the serious-looking Haruno Ou and the expectant Sakura beside him, he suddenly said: "Sakura-chan, what is your best ninjutsu?"

"Ah?" Sakura was stunned and quickly replied: "It's water escape, Grandpa Gusuke!"

As she spoke, Sakura opened her palms, and a vivid liquid creature appeared in her palms.

"Water escape?" Maruhoshi Kosuke's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he praised: "You have good chakra control ability and a solid foundation of water escape. Sakura, you are very talented in water escape."

Sakura's eyes were filled with joy: "Thank you for your approval."

Kosuke Maruhoshi smiled, his face straightened casually, and he became serious.

"Sakura, do you have a very important companion?"

When he was young, he was eager for quick success during a mission and gave rash orders, which resulted in the death of two of his companions. Therefore, he swore an oath to the second Hokage Senju Tobirama to only be a genin forever, hence the title of "Ten Thousand Years Genin".

If Sakura wants to get his guidance or even become his disciple, talent alone is not enough, she must also show respect for her companions!

"companion?"

Sakura thought for a while, and for a moment, the figures of Sasuke, Ino, and even Naruto flashed in her mind.

"Um!"

"So, when you become a ninja in the future, will you protect your companions when they are in danger, and even give your life for them?"

Maruboshi Kosuke's tone was no longer kind and friendly, but became extremely oppressive. Haruno Ou didn't say anything and stayed aside quietly.

Facing Fousuke's question, Sakura felt a flash of hesitation in her heart, not knowing how to answer.

After all, she has not yet grown into the Haruno Sakura who dares to risk her life to protect her companions in the future. Now she is just an innocent girl who cherishes her youth.

Getting stronger is just for Sasuke.

"Grandpa Fousuke." After a long silence, Sakura raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination.

"I can't answer your question yet, or I may not be able to give up my life for my companions right now, but I want to have the power to protect my companions, and I also want to become a ninja who dares to protect my companions with my life!"

You may not be able to do it now, but will you keep working towards that goal?

He is also an honest child.

Well, you can't be too harsh on your children...

After all, he is still a child.

Kosuke Maruhoshi's serious expression dropped and he smiled.

"Work hard then, Sakura!"

After a pause, Maruhoshi Kosuke continued: "In addition to my mission, you can come to me for advice, and I will teach you some ninja skills and water escape techniques!"

"Eh!?" Sakura showed an overjoyed expression. She thought her hesitation and answer had disappointed Grandpa Gusuke, but she didn't expect...

"Thank you, Grandpa Gu Jie!"
