In August, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time of the day. Aoyagi lay on the wooden hallway outside the house, and the black eaves blocked out the sunlight, creating a shady place where Aoyagi hid in the shadows.

The wind blowing from the small pond in the courtyard gently shook the wind chimes tied to the wooden beams in the corridor, and the sign below shook softly, sprinkling the crisp and intermittent sound of the bells.

The wind with water vapor is cool and gentle, and the bells are ringing, urging Aoyagi to sleep.

In a daze, it seemed that the doorbell rang twice.

Dingdong ~ Dingdong ~

After a while, the doorbell rang again.

There seemed to be a doorbell, and Aoyagi stood up in a trance, pulled on his slippers, and walked to the outer door.

Maybe Nishida and Amamiya? But if it's them, after ringing the doorbell and finding that no one is coming out, Amamiya will go straight in, right? If you don't press it several times, who will it be?

Turning the corner of the house, the white robe and uniform and the hat with the word "fire" written on it filled Aoyagi's eyes first.

Hokage?! How did the three generations of Hokage come here to find me?

Under the strong stimulation, Aoyagi's consciousness went online, and he quickly quickened his pace, pulled out the wooden bolt behind the wooden waist door, and opened the door.

"Hokage-sama!"

Taking the pipe off his mouth, the three Hokages smiled kindly, the wrinkles on his face becoming more and more obvious.

"I'm sorry, I look like I disturbed your nap, Aoyagi. I should have come later. ”

"No, it's really rude to make you wait so long, please come in." Aoyagi stood on the side of the road, out of the way, pulling the door with one hand and bowing slightly.

As they walked into the courtyard, Aoyagi noticed that there were two shadows standing behind the Hokage, who were very quiet, even indifferent.

Aoyagi wanted to invite the Hokage and his party to sit down in the living room, but the Hokage politely refused.

"Let's just sit in the hallway and talk, just in time for the cool breeze to blow."

They walked to where Aoyagi had just slept and sat down side by side.

The Hokage waved his hand at the two shadows to get them to step back, then took a slow puff on his cigarette.

Sitting next to the three generations of Hokage, Aoyagi felt a little stressed. Why did you come to me all of a sudden? In any case, the Hokage deliberately took the time to find someone, it didn't seem like a trivial matter, right? It can't be a simple condolence for orphans, right?

"Aoyagi, what do you think a ninja is?"

How can I answer this kind of question when you come up and ask me this kind of question?

"Well, it's the people who protect the country and the village." In this world, ninjas are soldiers, but they are all special soldiers.

The Hokage laughed and didn't continue on the topic.

"When people get old, they always like to miss the past." Hokage turned his head and looked at Aoyagi, "When I see you, I think of your father." ”

"Does Hokage-sama know my father?"

"Your parents are ninjas, how could I not remember them?" Hokage stroked Aoyagi's head, "Your parents are very good ninjas, and they died to protect the village. It's not easy for you to live alone at such a young age. ”

Aoyagi was silent for a while, and it didn't seem appropriate to say anything at this time.

The three generations of Hokage smoked for a while, and the scene was silent for a while.

"The leaves on the trees fall in autumn to protect the trees from the winter and to make the leaves grow stronger the next year. Although they are no longer there, their love and will have been passed on to you, accompanying you, and that is the will to protect you and the village. ”

"Hi, Hokage-sama."

"Don't be so restrained, Aoyagi, just treat me like an ordinary grandfather."

I can treat you as an ordinary talent.,Although you're old.,But you're still the strongest handful of ninjas.。

"Aoyagi, do you have any difficulties in life?"

"It's not difficult, thanks to the village handouts, otherwise it would have been very difficult. Everyone is also very friendly and always helps me. I love Konoha Village. ”

"Konoha Village is a big family, and the Hokage, the head of this family, is supposed to lead the family to live a happy life. And your happiness is inseparable from the protection of many ninjas like your parents. ”

"You're a very hard worker, and of course it's good to work hard. However, the purpose of diligent practice is to protect the precious things, not the whole of life. The three generations of Hokage put the pipe aside, "Meet more friends and go out to play more, which is the life of a child." ”

"Hey."

The three generations of Hokage know about their cultivation? But it's not surprising to think of that obscene crystal ball.

"The ninja school opened in September, and this is the entrance gift that your parents prepared for you, and it has been stored with me all along." The third Hokage took out a scroll the length of his forearm and said with a smile, "Aoyagi, you have to keep it." ”

Taking the scroll, Aoyagi thanked him.

Although it is very strange why the parents prepared the school gift so early, and they can also ask the Hokage to help keep it. But there was no need for the Hokage to deceive him on this matter.

"Thank you very much, Hokage-sama!"

"Aoyagi, I won't bother you with your lunch break. In the future, you can come to me for something. Hokage got up with his pipe.

That being said, Aoyagi doesn't go to the Hokage whenever something happens. After all, this is still a polite component.

"Hokage-sama, please go slowly!"

…………

The Hokage walked down the street with the two shadows, greeting the villagers cordially along the way.

"Hokage-sama, with all due respect, you could have let me go in and check it out just now, if Hayakawa Aoyagi stayed asleep and didn't wake up, it would be a waste of your time." When there was no one around, the dark part wearing the eagle mask couldn't help but speak.

"When you go to someone's house, you have to be polite." The third Hokage put his hands behind his back and said slowly, "I haven't waited long, so don't mention this matter." ”

"Hey! It's a subordinate gaffe! The shadows leaned over and resumed silence.

After walking a little further, the Hokage looked at a certain apartment and suddenly said, "You say that the heroes who sacrificed themselves for the sake of the village, but the descendants live so hard. Does the village owe them anything? ”

The two dark ministers were speechless, this was not easy to answer, but fortunately, the third generation Hokage quickly opened the topic, "By the way, what is the next trip?" ”

"Hokage-sama, the next trip is to inspect the sealing class at four o'clock."

"Let's speed up then."

Whoosh~ The three of them turned into black shadows and hurried to the sealing class.

…………

After Aoyagi waited for the Hokage and his party to leave, he opened the scroll in the bedroom.

There are many basic knowledge in the scroll, such as chakra extraction, how to use shuriken and kunai, the making of traps, etc., which are comprehensive and detailed, and I feel that many of the skills are much better than the scrolls at home.

This scroll is pretty good, and with it, you can build a more solid foundation. After just a cursory glance, Aoyagi discovered several small mistakes he had made in his practice, such as the inappropriate posture of holding the kunai and not being able to exert the maximum force; There is a slight problem with the timing of the shot when throwing the shuriken; Missing the feeling of experiencing a chakra overdraft and learning how to preserve yourself in this state.

These details are very important, and at critical moments, it may be the lack of these practices, or the slightest incorrectness in your posture, which can lead to injury or even loss of life.

Continuing to unfold the scroll, Aoyagi saw the last part.

Hey, this is a ninjutsu, it's actually a shuriken shadow clone technique? I thought it was only a basic knowledge recorded.,Why did you suddenly add such a super-standard ninjutsu.。 Even if you want to attach ninjutsu, it should be a three-body technique, or a simple five-element escape technique, right?

Aoyagi is still practicing the basics, and he hasn't touched the mudra much, but he has been exercising his fingers regularly, which is to prepare for the practice of the mudra in the future.

Mudras haven't been learned yet, let alone ninjutsu. This ninjutsu will take a long time to learn.

Anyway, it's just what you get anyway.
