Ninja World

"Teacher Ueda."

The young man gave a slight salute, which was a sign of respect for the teacher who had given him his homework, and he put away his playful attitude.

"came back."

Teacher Ueda looked at the boy in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression.

He didn't know where Uchiha Tatsu went after graduation. This was a secret that he, a chuunin teacher, could not know, not even his students.

But you can vaguely guess it.

The Hokage has attached great importance to Uchiha Tatsu since he was in school, and now the young boy's green face has become a bit sharper.

But he still raised his hand and rubbed the boy's hair.

People here...have this hobby.

Uchiha Chen complained silently in his heart.

But he remained obedient and silent.

As spring passed and autumn came, I didn't expect that my former students would have caught up with me in just one year.

He still remembered the boy he led into the classroom.

Standing on the podium and saying incomprehensible words.

"The career of a ninja is full of ups and downs..."

Teacher Ueda touched the forehead protector on Uchiha Tatsu's forehead.

Every student who took a forehead protector from him and became a ninja would have a private chat with him when they graduated.

But Uchiha Tatsumi missed this opportunity.

Teacher Ueda sat on a bench nearby, patted the empty seat next to him and motioned for the boy to sit over too.

Uchiha Chen was startled for a moment, and then sat next to the teacher.

I have always been grateful to this middle-aged man named Uchiha Tatsumi named Rihito Ueda.

Although the relationship between teacher and student may not be that deep, perhaps his help to Uchiha Tatsumi is far less than Orochimaru's few words.

But he was the person who took the most care of Uchiha Tatsu after he first came to Konoha Village.

Rather than saying that Haru is the guide who helps the boy integrate into the family and adapt to his new life, it is better to say that Mr. Ueda is the one who plays this role.

The Uchiha family sent Uchiha Haru as the boy's friend and broke into his life, so Ueda-sensei was the one who stood on the side of the village.

At that time, half of the day was spent in the ninja school.

We take great care of young people in their studies and life.

He understood Uchiha Tatsu's situation, so he hoped that more students could accept this child who was brought back from a hostile country.

But maybe the results are counterproductive.

The young man himself had a wary temper at that time.

But this did not hinder Mr. Ueda's profound influence on him. This responsible homeroom teacher made Uchiha Tatsumi's acceptance of the village deepen.

It has to be said that Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements were subtle and subtle. He seemed to be doing nothing, but he quietly achieved the result he wanted.

Compared to the unnecessary family affection for Uchiha Tatsu.

He knows better what these war orphans want more.

After all, the Uchiha family has not yet found any clues about Uchiha Tatsumi's parents.

It's like someone appeared out of thin air.

...

This year....

I have never visited the teacher.

The young man suddenly felt a little ashamed of the teasing he had just felt about his teacher's strength.

The young man lowered his head, and the middle-aged man didn't know what he was thinking. He just continued the topic, leaned back in the chair, paused slightly, and then sighed.

"not easy."

Isn't it easy to summarize the life of a ninja in one sentence?

Uchiha Tatsu pursed his lips.

In just one year, he carried out many dangerous missions, and even almost lost his life several times. Perhaps it was a critical decision that turned the situation around in an instant.

And he also did many things that went against his true intentions.

But...this sentence can probably express a lot of emotions.

Just like these lively and lovely students in front of me.

Maybe they are still looking forward to the life after becoming ninjas, but they don't know that this expansion of enrollment is just to lay the foundation for the war in the near future.

"Yeah, it's not easy."

...

"This year's graduation exam was actually changed to a battle."

Uchiha Chen frowned slightly.

Standing at the door of the performance hall without going in, inside were the Sandaime Hokage and several elders of Konoha, including Danzo Shimura, Uchiha Tatsu's current direct commander.

Konoha attaches great importance to the growth of the next generation, and almost all senior officials are present in person to assess the students in person.

And select talents here.

The man with half his body wrapped in bandages thought slightly.

The roots have been silent for a long time since the last incident and were suppressed into the ground.

Now that things have passed for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen's anger must have also passed.

The roots are the most secret tissue of Konoha, which has cleared many obstacles for Konoha in secret, and cannot stand still.

This time he decided to ask for a group of graduates.

Graduation requirements have been significantly relaxed for students in the sixth grade, while the remaining students in the fifth to first grade are approved to graduate early on a merit-based basis.

Compared to second-year students such as Uchiha Haru, Takeuchi, Ebisu, Hinata Ue, Aburame Eri, etc., there are many third-, fourth-, and fifth-year students.

Students who were almost confident that they could master a ninjutsu all signed up for the graduation exam.

There are even a few in first grade...

Nohara Rin, Uchiha Obito, Hatake Kakashi, Matt Kai...

"I'm talking about you, Kai."

Obito was holding a blade of grass in his mouth and jumping up and down.

"Why are you here to join in the fun?"

He was talking about a boy with a watermelon head, wearing a dark green tights, his eyes as bright as torches, and his eyes were filled with stubbornness.

Metkai is another top performer in their class.

Probably the relationship between the last and the second last, he is not as proficient in using the Three Body Technique as Uchiha Obito.

"Ouch!"

"Obito, you don't have to laugh at me, our level is..."

Although the young man said unconfident words, his voice was full and round, and he sounded like a top student.

"But...I heard that this time there will be no ninjutsu test, but direct actual combat..."

The young man named Metkai's tone was slightly hesitant. Although he spoke with great momentum, he still felt a little unconfident in his heart.

After all, he is actually the last in the class.

He really has no talent for ninjutsu, which he inherited from his father, and he is still a genin to this day.

"Kai! Believe in yourself!"

With his father's words still in his ears, the boy slowly clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with fire.

"You can break through with physical skills..."

Uchiha Tatsumi leaned against the wall and didn't pay attention to the children's play.

He was a little worried about Qing.

Ninjutsu... no problem.

But in actual combat, caring may lead to chaos, and he was a little worried about Qing's actual combat ability.

In his memory, he seemed to have seen her one-on-one with that girl Eri Aburame.

We won based on the opponent's letting go.

But in fact, Uchiha Tatsuya's worries were unnecessary.

"Win."

"Uchiha Haru."
