Chapter 138: Under the Blue Sky, Again!
Late autumn into winter always gives people a red color. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Red sky, rare late autumn sun, warm breeze blowing. Isn't it a pity not to fly so freely?
Sasuke comes to the Hokage's office to find Tsunade. This afternoon, the first session of the Nainin exam will begin, which is the preliminary exam. Sasuke, as the chief examiner of the first exam and the main staff of the second exam, should be busy preparing now.
But Sasuke had a reason why he had to meet Tsunade. He wants to fight for Yakumo's final qualification for the middle ninja exam, that's what he said.
At the same time, for some reason, Sasuke at this moment is very eager to meet Tsunade, hoping to see her mature smile.
Gently pushing open the door of the office, Tsunade crouched on the desk and corrected the documents, and there were mountains of documents waiting to be approved next to him. This is the job of the Hokage, it sounds glorious but bitter, a true servant of the people.
Whether it's Tsunade or the future Naruto, they've basically become slaves to their jobs. Sasuke was a little reluctant to drag his master into the quagmire, after all, Tsunade had originally lived a carefree gambling life.
However, the woman now looks tired but happy. Because the Hokage is the dream of Tsunade and her important people. This kind of dream of happiness made Sasuke feel a little envious. Maybe that's what he wants to see, something different from helplessness and compromise.
"Alright, don't stand there in a daze. Come on in. ”
Tsunade naturally couldn't have noticed Sasuke's arrival, and when he saw Sasuke standing at the door, he beckoned him in. At the same time as Sasuke came in, Tsunade naturally stretched out his hand. Seeing this, Sasuke smiled bitterly and handed over the iron bottle that Tsunade had smashed into him.
Tsunade took the iron kettle and quietly opened the lid to take a look. There were no expected bottles, but there was a tavern membership card. Pouting with some dissatisfaction, Tsunade carefully put away the iron cylinder.
"Teacher, I have something to look for you this time. ”
In order to avoid Tsunade's complaints, Sasuke cut straight to the point.
"Of course I know that there must be something going on with me if I don't do the preparation for the exam. ”
Tsunade put down the pen and folded his hands on his chin, looking at Sasuke with a teasing look.
"And it must be a very important thing to call the teacher such a formal title. Say, is there something wrong with that little girl in the sand ninja?"
"Tsunade-sama!"
Sasuke complained with a wry smile. Tsunade was one of the first people he was emotionally involved in, and he was also the one who single-handedly contributed to his and Temari's hazy relationship. So Tsunade would always tease Sasuke and Temari about things, which made Sasuke feel embarrassed.
"I'm here this time for Yakumo's business, and it has nothing to do with Temari!"
"Yakumo, is that a little girl from the Kurama clan? Little ghost, although this is a bit straightforward, but stepping on two boats will be beaten to death by punches. ”
"That's enough!
Sasuke knew very well that Tsunade was just joking, but his face couldn't help but burn, and he quickly interrupted Tsunade's indecent attitude.
"Got it, got it, no kidding. Are you aiming for that kid's exam qualification?"
Tsunade laughed for a moment and returned to the Hokage's role. She was very shrewd as a war commander, and Sasuke could basically guess what he wanted to do, and he teased Sasuke like that before just to relax by the way. Sasuke was also relieved to see this, and for some reason he felt much more cheerful.
"Yes. Becoming a shinobi is very important to Yakumo, and I hope to give her a chance. ”
"No, it would be unfair to other candidates to let students who know the content of the test in advance take the test. And there has never been a precedent like this, and I can't allow her to take this exam. ”
Tsunade refused immediately without thinking about it, which is also a decision that should be made as a Hokage. But Sasuke was a little reluctant and continued to persuade.
"Didn't my subordinates also take the exam? Besides, can't Yakumo be allowed to take the third exam directly?"
"I can't do that, it's even more unfair to do that!" Tsunade grimaced, and his eyes became serious. "And you also know the particularity of this middle ninja exam, when the time comes, even the thunder shadow of the cloud ninja will come to Konoha, this kind of thing must not happen. ”
"Is that really the case?"
To be honest, being rejected so simply and without margin was expected by Sasuke. But Sasuke still felt a little lost, after all, the gentle girl was giving up her dream for him. Dreams are happiness that supports people to keep going.
"Still. ”
Tsunade's expression suddenly changed, and he smiled evilly and reached out to touch Sasuke's hanging head.
"Yakumo, that kid has also made a contribution to this exam. After discussion, the senior management decided to conduct a separate assessment for her after this Zhongnin exam, which would be regarded as compensation. But I don't want my disciple to be a playboy. ”
"Here we go again!"
Satsuna pushed Tsunade's hand away and glared at her angrily. But then the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Then Yakumo's matter is settled. ”
Sasuke said with some emotion. He didn't expect things to develop like this, and it shouldn't be easy to make such a special case for a ninja to take a separate exam.
"yes, Yakumo's affairs are settled. Now let's talk about you. ”
Tsunade groaned, took a document from a drawer and patted it in front of Sasuke. The paper was creased, as if it had been crumpled into a ball of paper as waste paper and then unfolded.
"This is the list of the first members of the Root Organization that Danzo has rebuilt, and the leader of the first group in it is you, Sasuke Uchiha. ”
Tsunade sighed deeply and looked at Sasuke with a worried gaze.
"Danzang said you agreed, is that true?"
“…… It's true. ”
"Bastard!"
Tsunade stood up, reached out and grabbed Sasuke's collar and pulled his upper body to the table, holding Sasuke firmly with one hand.
"Do you know what kind of organization it is? None of the people who go in can still live like a normal person! Why do you want to join such an organization?"
“…… I'm different, it's fine. ”
Sasuke retorted somewhat weakly, saying something he didn't believe either. Tsunade stared at Sasuke for more than a minute, letting him go in Sasuke's surprised gaze.
"Alright, I know, there must be a reason to do this. Anyway, you have enough strength, and you never ask my opinion when doing things, so you can do what you want. ”
Tsunade waved Sasuke out of the office as if he was impatient.
"It just so happens that I'm a little relieved to have you in the root organization. That guy isn't a good guy in Tuanzang, you keep an eye on it for me. ”
Sasuke chuckled when he heard this, turned around and took two steps to close the door and leave. But at this moment, Tsunade spoke again, a completely different voice of concern from before.
"Also, don't always be alone in your mind if there is anything. I'm your teacher, and I rely on me for things you can't do. The unhappiness is completely written on my face, you are my disciple, cheer me up a little!"
Sasuke looked back and saw Tsunade buried his head in the pile of documents, quickly correcting one document after another like a stamping machine. It's as if I hadn't said anything before.
[I saw it all, did the jokes I made before also cheer me up?]
Sasuke suddenly understood why he wanted to meet Tsunade so much. That's a different performance from the people around you.
It is different from Tayuya's reverence, it is different from Kario's gratitude, it is different from Naruto's mysterious sense, and it is different from Temari's long-term lovesickness. This smile and concern is pure, the opposite of the light on the other side of the darkness.
Walking out of the Hokage building, the sky had changed from a scorching red to a cool blue. A sense of openness arises.
That's right, it's too late to make a choice. Sasuke was sure that this was the important moment of choice that the Great Toad Immortal had said, and this time it was definitely not to be missed.
There is never a choice in the game. Sometimes when you open the table, you can jump out of the game given by others and find your own third way. It may be tough, but for that concern, in order to keep the love that his important one has given him, Sasuke has made up his mind.
I want to be loved, and I want to love with all my heart. Not because he didn't want to hurt, but because he didn't want to be hurt, such a decision might seem selfish, but Sasuke made up his mind anyway.
Because Sasuke would love to see them again in such a blue sky and see their carefree smiles because of themselves.
It's another blue afternoon, and the middle ninja exam is about to begin!
