Early in the morning, in the backyard of Sato's house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a brief freshening up, Musuke changed into a new kimono that had been tailored the other day, and sat cross-legged in the corridor in the backyard, closing his eyes and recuperating.

And during the period when he closed his eyes and recuperated, several figures appeared in the backyard of Sato's house one after another, and after they appeared, they all half-knelt in front of the mourners, bowing their heads, and looking respectful.

About half an hour later, the mourning party opened his eyes, glanced at the people half-kneeling in the backyard, and silently counted the number of people in his heart.

No more, no less, exactly seven people.

"It's worthy of the elite ninjas who have retired from the shadows. Fu Zhu glanced at the few people present, and his tone was a little cold, "Very good, very punctual, the time I agreed with you is 7:30, and you all came before 7:15, very good, I am very satisfied." ”

The seven people who were half-kneeling in front of Musuke,It's the ninjas who retreated from the 'root' department that Tuanzang promised him before.,Originally, the only three people who retreated from the 'root' department were promised by the group.,I don't know why.,Sarutobi Hizashi finally selected four ninjas from the dark department.,Let them also join the Sato family.。

So the last person who came to Sato's house to report changed from three to seven.

"All seven of you, from left to right, introduce yourselves and let me get to know you. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that he had to start by introducing himself to get to know these seven new subordinates who belonged to him.

"The dark code name '殇', the original dark enchantment class ninja, good at sealing and enchantment. "The first person on the far left to introduce herself is the female ninja 'Mu' who had been visiting the shadows with her in the shadows, taking off her mask and grinning at the mourner.

"The dark code name 'Dream', the former ninja of the dark reconnaissance class, is good at stealth and infiltration. "The second self-introduction is the 'dream' of a teenager who was about the same age as the mourner who had dealt with the mourner a few days ago.

"The dark part is codenamed 'Yan'..."

Immediately afterwards, the ninjas of the original dark department introduced their original names to Musuke one by one, as well as the ninjutsu they were good at, and after listening to their self-introductions, Musuke also had a preliminary understanding of these seven people in his heart.

"You all know that, but I'm going to introduce myself to you. The mourner stood up, straightened his waist, and his still somewhat immature face took on the majesty of a superior person.

"I'm the contemporary head of the Sato family, Sato Fusuke, good at blacksmithing, although not yet a ninja, but also some medical means. Musuke put his hands behind his back and looked at the seven people in front of him, and his face, which had been straight, finally showed a faint smile, "Welcome to the Sato family." ”

"From today onwards, the seven of you will be members of the Sato family. "I know that you will definitely be a little dissatisfied with the distribution of you by Hokage-sama and Danzo-sama, but I believe that you will slowly change and eventually integrate into the Sato family. ”

"You should all know what kind of status the former Sato family had in Konoha and even in the Land of Fire. ”

"However, no matter how glorious and famous the Sato family once was, that is only in the past. Fu Zhu tilted his head sideways, looked at the long-abandoned council hall of the Sato family, and said indifferently: "The current Sato family is just a small family with the name of a big clan and no big clan strength. ”

"We are the new generation of the Sato family. ”

"Our goal is not to restore the Sato family to its former glory, but to surpass it. ”

"Beyond the Sato family in the past, the pace of the Sato family does not stop at Konoha or even the country of fire, the goal of the Sato family is to become famous in the entire ninja world. ”

Fu Zhu looked at his subordinates with different expressions and smiled, "Maybe you will think that I am just shouting empty slogans and painting cakes for you to satisfy your hunger, but time will tell you the answer." ”

"So, let's reintroduce myself. Fusuke smiled and looked at his subordinates, "Tell me your real name, hobbies, and dreams." ”

"Lord Sato, a few of us, no names. A young man raised his hand and said with a calm face.

"No name?" Bereavement was a little surprised.

"The three of them are not the same as the four of us. "The three of them are ninjas who belong to the 'root', and most of them are orphans raised by the dark department, so they don't have their own names, only the 'code name' of the dark department. ”

"Is this the so-called 'root' person? no name, no feelings, no past... There is no future. ”

Musuke was shocked when he learned this, but the four people in front of him who had retired from 'Roots' had a calm face, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it.

"Since you have joined the Sato family, then all four of you have the surname Sato. Fu Zhu sighed, "What exactly is the name, the four of you think about it yourself, just tell me after thinking about it." ”

"Don't think about it, the name is just a codename. The young man at the head of the four said, "From today onwards, my name is Satoichi. ”

"Sato II. ”

"Sato-mi. ”

"Sato Four. ”

Sato Fusuke: ......

**********************************************

After talking to the seven subordinates who had just joined the Sato family one by one, and assigning tasks to several of them, Musuke brought a young woman named 'Mu', who was now named Li, to the alchemy workshop.

"Take this book, you can read it. He walked over to the bookcase, took out a copy of "Introduction to Alchemy" and handed it to Li.

Li took the "Introduction to Alchemy", rolled his eyes slightly, and his face became a little ugly, "Lord Mourning, what is said in this book... It's so hard to understand. ”

Fu Zhu smiled and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, just cross this hurdle." ”

"Can't you teach me like an apprentice?" Li complained.

"No, I can't. ”

After hearing Li's sentence, Fu Zhu didn't think about it, and directly refused, while refusing, he nodded in the air with his hand, and said: "If you encounter problems in the process of learning alchemy, you can come and ask me, and I will give you an answer, but the relationship between you and me is not a master-apprentice relationship." ”

"Oh. Li's appearance looked a little disappointed, but the mourner didn't pay attention to Li's disappointment, and his attention was on the system's prompt box at this time.

[At present, there are already two alchemy apprentices: Keita and Kengo Taniguchi. 】

Seeing that the names of the alchemy apprentices did not appear in the list, the mourning was also a little relieved.

"It seems that as long as the alchemist is not taught directly, the name will not appear in the apprenticeship list. ”

"Next, it's time to think about new apprentices. Thinking of this, several candidates quickly appeared in the mind of mourning.

The most priority candidates are naturally Suiko and Kushina, who are good friends with him.

There shouldn't be any problem with Suiko, after all, Kenichi Sasaki's leg was healed by alchemy.

It's just Kushina...

Thinking back to that night, Jiu Sinai, who ran away crying, didn't know why, and felt a faint pain in his heart.

"Could it be... Am I sick?"
