Ninja World

"Hokage-sama."

On the path inside the ninja school.

The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly, and there are a few flawless white clouds in the blue sky.

The sun penetrates the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting little spots of light.

There are two figures, one big and one small.

Teachers and students passing by gave him a slight salute when they saw him.

"Hokage-sama."

Uchiha Tatsu followed the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He didn't know how to speak for a while, and there was some silence in the atmosphere.

"Uchiha Tatsumi..."

However, the Sandaime Hokage spoke first. The middle-aged man was a little more tired than when we first met last year, and there were more crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

But the voice is still strong and powerful.

Although the Hokage's work is becoming increasingly heavy, sometimes Sarutobi Hiruzen will feel tired and his body can't bear it.

But after all, he is not old yet and can still stick to this position for a few more years.

The most important thing is that the current Sarutobi Hiruzen has not yet found a satisfactory successor.

Although I have several candidate names in my mind, the position of Hokage must have both strength and talent.

Both are indispensable.

Several candidate names have more or less shortcomings and flaws, and cannot perfectly fit this position.

Without thinking about these troublesome things, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes fell on the accompanying kid.

"How does it feel to live in a village for a year?"

In one year, Uchiha Tatsuya has changed a lot from when we first met him. The most obvious one is the physical change.

The young man has grown a lot taller, and his face is no longer so pale, but a little more red and rosy.

After coming to Konoha Hidden Village, I no longer need to run around for food. I can eat well and wear warm clothes.

Full of energy.

"Much stronger than before."

Uchiha Tatsu followed the Hokage-sama's footsteps and answered step by step.

Later, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him about the study status in the ninja school with concern. Of course, the Third Hokage had already mastered these things.

He even read Uchiha Tatsu's exam papers himself.

He also greatly appreciated Uchiha Tatsu's answer to the last question in the written examination paper.

The answer given by the young man was very rigorous, without any deviation from the rules, and the overall answer was watertight.

The relationship between the individual and the whole.

Although it does not specifically refer to the relationship between the family and the village, it silently points in this direction.

This problem is not limited to the Uchiha clan, in fact it is a common problem in Konoha Hidden Village and even other ninja villages in the ninja world.

The grouping behavior of the ninja families has seriously affected the authority of the village's top leaders.

Many decisions had to be adjusted based on the family's views.

It's just that these problems don't seem so acute in Konoha because of the toughness of the top management.

Except for the Uchiha clan.

The last question of this final examination paper was also written by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, and was added to the examination paper, but his name was not signed.

He was curious about the students' answers to this question.

The results he received were not beyond his expectations. The children of the family and the children of the common people gave two contrasting answers.

Except Uchiha Tatsumi.

At that time, Uchiha Tatsumi was obviously stunned when he solved this question. He turned around and carefully reviewed the question again. After fully understanding the questioner's thoughts...

A conclusion was drawn.

"This is a part-time question..."

....

The communication with the Third Hokage did not last long.

But it's obvious that Sarutobi Hiruzen is very satisfied with Uchiha Tatsu's perspective and way of looking at the problem.

His fancy for Uchiha Tatsumi could be regarded as an unintentional move, and he even forgot about it soon.

If it weren't for Uchiha Tatsu's outstanding achievements later on, even the Hokage, who was busy with everything, might not have been able to think of it.

But now the direction of this young man's role is gradually becoming clearer.

Uchiha mirror.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of his former teammate, the outstanding ninja of the Uchiha clan and the later leader of the Uchiha clan.

The period when Uchiha Mirror came to power was the period when the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village was the most relaxed.

pity…

Uchiha Kagami died too early.

The appearance of Uchiha Tatsu obviously triggered some thoughts of the third generation Hokage.

As a child who has Uchiha family ancestry but has never lived in a village since he was a child, his identity is indeed very special. More importantly, his talent is very good, and his future achievements will definitely be high.

When he grows up and has a voice within the Uchiha clan, he may become a bridge between the village and the Uchiha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said silently in his heart.

This can be regarded as unintentional planting of willows and willows.

Now he really hopes to see Uchiha Tatsu grow up quickly.

But there is a prerequisite for all this.

Even Uchiha Tatsu's growth will not shake his current thoughts.

Watching the Hokage leave, Uchiha Tatsumi stood there and frowned.

Then he smelled a gust of fragrant wind coming from behind him, and Uchiha Haru came to him without knowing when.

The girl looked at the retreating figure warily, then turned around and waved in front of Uchiha Tatsu's eyes.

"Hey, Uchiha Tatsu."

Uchiha Chen came back to his senses, his eyes fell slightly on Uchiha Qing's fair cheeks, and he saw some worry on them.

He pursed his lips and then smiled.

"kindness."

The young man nodded.

"Let's... go to class first."

"Today is the test."

"Everyone will come down after a while."

Uchiha Haru shook her head and said.

The first thing I do after returning from a long vacation is to check whether the students have slacked off and neglected to train during this vacation.

There will be a test.

Probably the throwing of ninja tools and the actual combat test.

There is no three-body technique.

After all, the Three Body Jutsu is a ninjutsu. Although it is simple, not all children can learn it, so this assessment will not involve it.

The spring breeze in March blew the branches and leaves on the treetops, bringing a fresh breath to the air.

The training ground separated by iron fences gradually appeared one after another.

Except for the newly admitted freshmen who are introducing themselves.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi."

The silver-haired kid wearing a mask lazily introduced himself.

"Nohara Lin."

The beautiful little girl said with a smile.

"Where's Obito Uchiha?"

"Which classmate is Uchiha Obito?"

Holding a list and comparing it with the number of people, the chuunin teacher standing on the podium scratched his head a little.

"You haven't come yet..."

The class he taught actually produced a boy who was always late for school.

Instinctively, I had a bad premonition that the future teaching tasks would not go so smoothly.

The other students have gradually gathered in their respective classes on the training ground, preparing for the next exam, stretching their arms and kicking their legs, and pretending to do warm-up exercises.

Uchiha Tatsu didn't do any of these unnecessary things, he just sat on the grass and quietly felt the breeze bending around his fingers and bending the grass blades.

It seems even more boring than them...

The girl sat next to him.

After hesitating for a long time, Uchiha Haru finally spoke vaguely.

The once sunny girl hesitated for some reason.

But remembering the mission assigned to her by her clan elders and father, she hesitated and asked.

"Na...Uchiha Tatsumi."

The girl's voice lacked some confidence.

"kindness?"

The young man tilted his head.

Wei Wei was a little surprised, something was wrong with Uchiha Haru's state. She didn't usually have such a personality, so how could she suddenly look like a little girl.

"Just...what did Hokage-sama talk to you about?"
