Chapter 37: The New Sprouts of Konoha
Hokage's office
The three generations of Hokage looked at the 8-year-old boy in front of him with emotion, who would have thought that the boy in front of him would be the key to Kikyo City's victory, but the heavens didn't seem to want the boy in front of him to grow up, "Serena, I heard Orochimaru say about you, do you really want to be a ninja?" ā
"Yes, three generations of Hokage-sama, I want to continue to be a ninja and protect Konoha."
"Serena, I know you already have the Will of Fire. But Serena, what exactly is your ninja? ā
"Ninja?" Serena was stunned when she heard this, the reason why she became a ninja is because this is the world of Hokage, and ninjas are the main theme, so she wants to become the strongest person in the Hokage, live her life vigorously, and not waste the opportunity to be reborn; The second is the agreement with his father to continue to protect Konoha Village instead of him.
The three generations of Hokage looked at the stunned Serena and sighed, after all, he was just a child. "Serena, I understand your feelings about protecting Konoha, but life is more than that."
The three generations of Hokage came to the window and looked at the bustling streets, "Konoha Village is not just an organization for me, Konoha Village is born and breeds many ninjas every year, and then fights and dies, all to protect their most precious things. For me, all the people in this village are my most important family members, even if they are not related by blood, even if they die in battle, this is the spirit I inherited from the first and second generations. Serena, what is your most precious thing? ā
"The most precious thing? It's my brother, Red Bean, and Konoha's companions, and I want to protect them, and I don't want to see the people I hold dear die again. ā
"Really? Serena, you only live once, if you choose to continue the path of ninja, then you have to be prepared, because ninjas are always accompanied by killing, and if you want to protect your companions, become stronger! Serena, even if you are sick, you have to keep going, and I believe that one day you will find your own way of forbearance. ā
"My own ninja! Three generations of Hokage-sama, I already understand what you mean, I will not regret the decision I made today, I will continue to protect my precious things as a ninja, even if I die for it! ā
"Are you ready to die? Serena, you must know that there has never been a cure for the blood disease, and if you continue to use your strength, it will speed up your death, although Orochimaru has already talked to you, but as the shadow of the village, as your elder, I still have to be sure of your thoughts, have you really decided? ā
Serena nodded firmly, "Yes, Hokage-sama. ā
"In that case, I will give you a task to lead the team to the battlefield of the Land of Thunder to support and receive treatment from Yakushizen there."
"Lead the squad?" Serena's words looked at the three Hokages suspiciously.
"The war between Konoha and Yunyin is now in an absolute advantage, so I want you to take those ninjas who are the same time as you to the battlefield to train."
"The ninjas of the same period, do you mean Kai them?"
"Yes, you are all the hope of Konoha in the future, if you want to grow quickly, combat experience is essential, and the battlefield is the most tempering place."
"Isn't the teacher going to the battlefield of the Land of Thunder?"
"The country of Thunder is also in charge, and there is no need for Orochimaru to go in the past, so you will lead the team to go, your trip to the battlefield this time is mainly based on experience, and you will arrange it when you get there."
"I see, three generations of Hokage-sama, when are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning, you can go and inform them now." Serena left the Hokage's office to inform the others.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered at the door of the Hokage's office building, and the three generations of Hokage looked at the energetic young ninja in front of him and said, "I believe that Serena has already told you the mission, you are all the hope of Konoha in the future, don't die on the battlefield lightly." ā
"Don't worry, three generations of adults, we will come back alive, then we are leaving." After Serena finished speaking, he led everyone towards the Konoha Gate.
"Wherever there are leaves flying, there will be fires burning, and then new leaves will sprout again, and these new leaves will already start to grow, right? Orochimaru. ā
Hearing this, Orochimaru walked out of the hiding place, "Teacher, in my opinion, only the surviving leaves are worth studying. ā
"You're still the same, Orochimaru." The three generations of Hokage sighed, "Orochimaru, I'm already old, and I can't sit in the Hokage's position anymore, you are my most proud disciple, who do you say I should choose to inherit the Hokage's position." ā
Hearing this, Orochimaru licked the corners of his mouth excitedly, "Why don't you pass on the position of Hokage to me as a teacher?" ā
"The election of the Hokage is a major matter for Konoha, so I will discuss it with the Konoha higher-ups before deciding." The three generations of Hokage turned around and walked into the Hokage's office building.
Orochimaru stared at the departing backs of the three generations of Hokage, "Teacher, who is the best candidate for Hokage in your mind?" ā
Serena led everyone out of Konoha Village and headed for the Land of Thunder battlefield.
"I really didn't expect that the three generations of Hokage-sama would let us go to the battlefield for the sake of training."
"Isn't that a good thing? Aoba, so that we can get more experience and strengthen our strength. ā
"Can I vomit, why did you choose Serena to lead the team, we are all older than him, so we won't be ridiculed when we go to the battlefield!"
"There's no way, who made Serena the strongest in our group, Genma If you want to lead the team, become a shinobi first."
"My youth has begun to burn, wait for me, my eternal opponent Kakashi, I'm about to meet you on the battlefield."
"Kai, if you want to say that Kakashi is missed the most here, of course Serena, the two brothers haven't seen each other for 4 years. By the way, since we're heading to the battlefield, isn't it a resounding name for the squad? ā
"A resounding name, Ebisu makes sense, what name are we going to choose?"
"It's called the Beast Squad, how nice it sounds."
Hearing this, Genma complained: "Kai, your brain is really different from that of a normal person, it is really a rare beast head." ā
"Since Serena is the captain, you will be asked to choose the name of Serena."
Serena pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to call the genius squad." ā
"Genius squad? Serena won't be ridiculed for taking that name, after all, you're the only genius here. ā
"Kai, don't be presumptuous, you are a hard-working genius, besides, why did Hokage-sama choose us to go to the battlefield to experience, to prove that we are all manufacturable materials in the eyes of Hokage-sama, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Kai Wenyan gave Serena a thumbs up, revealing his snow-white teeth, "How can youth not have self-confidence, just call it the genius team." ā
Aoba listened to Serena's words and pushed his sunglasses, "Genius squad?" I agree with the name chosen by Serena. ā
Lei Tong clenched the black-bladed knife in his hand, "Seconded!" ā
"Since everyone agreed, I had no choice but to agree."
Seeing that the five of them agreed with his point of view, Serena said, "Then let's speed up and arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible, so that those self-righteous Yun Yin know how powerful our genius squad is!" ā
"Oh!" Everyone let out a shout and happily went to the battlefield of the Land of Thunder.
In the dark underground, Konoha Root's base was dark, Shimura Tuan** sat on a chair and closed his eyes in contemplation, and suddenly Tuanzang opened his eyes and said to the dark place: "You're here, Orochimaru." ā
"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting, Lord Tuanzang." Orochimaru came out of the darkness and looked at Danzo on the seat with a wicked smile.
"Have you thought about working with me? Orochimaru! ā
"That's right, I'll help you study the blood wheel eye and the cells of the first generation, but you have to provide me with the real yĆ n body and the real yĆ n base, as well as relevant information."
"No problem, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
"Happy working together!" Orochimaru looked at Danzang mockingly, saying that it was cooperation, but it was just mutual use.
Orochimaru and Danzou finished talking about cooperation and left Gen's base.
