After a moment of silence, Uchiha Haratake smiled and said, "Ling, you are the most gifted child I have ever met.

So now how do you choose, you only have two bells in your hand, and who are you going to give the other one to? ”

Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Teacher, the assessment time is not over yet, right?" Since I can grab two bells, I can grab a third. ”

Uchiha Hara Takeshi scratched his head and said nonchalantly, "Ah, I accidentally lost the third bell, so the assessment must be ended early." Alas, this kind of mistake can be made when you're old......"

"What! How so? Hearing Yuan Wu's words, Kitano Ling instantly exclaimed.

She thought to herself, "Doesn't it mean that you have lost a bell...... There will be one person who will not pass the assessment, and in this exercise, I will not contribute at all, I will definitely be abandoned! ”

Hinata Fumino also had an ugly face, and he was very reluctant to compete for a place with a girl, but if he gave up......

Regarding Yuan Wu's statement, Ling will not believe it if he is killed, a quasi-shadow will lose something? Can't you find another one if you lose the bell?

However, he knew Yuan Wu's intentions, so he didn't expose him.

It's a clever assessment, especially for a nine-year-old, where failing means going back to school to retake.

And with two bells and a teammate to keep one, and it's just someone else who is abandoned, how to choose seems simple for a nine-year-old.

Ling said lightly: "Teacher, I have already thought about it. ”

Uchiha Haratake's eyes flashed, and he asked, "So...... What are your options? ”

"The three of us are a team, if we have to give up one of them, then we can't pass this assessment, and we will go back to the ninja school to retake it together.

Isn't it, Rei, Fumino! Ling turned his head to the two of them.

"Well, we are a team, we will not give up our companions!" Rei Kitano said in a firm tone.

Hinata Fumino also had a determined look on his face.

Uchiha Haratake continued to threaten, "Have you decided? If you continue like this, you'll all have to go back to the ninja school to retake, and maybe you won't be a ninja in this life. ”

After a while, looking at the determined expressions of the three of them, Uchiha Haratake said helplessly:

"It's hard for me to do this, I can't have no students this year, I'll be laughed at by other people, in that case...... You're all qualified! ”

"Yay! Great, I'll be a ninja from now on! Rei Kitano cheered.

Ling and Hinata Fumino also showed excited looks.

"Hey, don't be proud, this is just a starting point, and there is still a long way to go." Uchiha Haratake said.

"Yes, teacher! When are we going to start carrying out the mission? I haven't even been out of the village yet, so I really want to know what the scene is outside the village. Rei Kitano asked a little impatiently.

"Outside the village? The war is coming to an end, and now bandits are rampant on the borders of various countries, and some wandering samurai and traitors are mixed in, robbing passing merchants, but it is not very peaceful. Uchiha Haratake said secretly in his heart.

After thinking about it, he said: "Let's do this today, tomorrow the first class will officially carry out the task and go to the village to carry out the task." ”

Ling smiled and said, "Teacher, our first class was officially established today, hehe, why don't the teacher invite us to eat barbecue." ”

Uchiha Haratake twitched the corners of his mouth, "Why is this kid so unauthentic and specializes in pit his own people......"

Then he smiled and said, "Of course, I'm your teacher." ”

……

After eating, Uchiha Haratake took out his shriveled wallet and checked out.

Then several people also went home, and Uchiha Ling and Uchiha Haratake went on the same road.

Uchiha Haratake was the first to speak, breaking the silence, "You little ghost doesn't look like a nine-year-old at all." ”

"Oh? Is the teacher talking about my strength? ”

"No, since...... Alas, I have also learned about your efforts over the years, and it is only natural that you can reach this level. Uchiha Haratake said lightly.

"Huh......

And what about teachers? With the strength of the teacher, why would he come to lead the students? Is the war on the front line almost over? Ling asked suspiciously.

"Ah, war, ah......" The man in his thirties fell into deep thought at the mention of the war, and only spoke after a moment:

"Yes, the war is almost over, many people have already withdrawn to the village, since the end of the big melee, I have retreated, the family side ...... They didn't want too much damage to the clan either. ”

"Yes, I understand."

Most of the people who died on the battlefield were civilian ninjas, and the elite ninjas of those large families rarely participated in dangerous missions.

For the upper echelons of the family, they naturally don't want too many casualties among their own people; For the high-level of the village, they can only turn a blind eye, after all, they still have to rely on the power of the family.

"What does the teacher think about this war?" Ling then asked.

"War, after all, is not a good thing, but this is also the fate of our ninjas, whether it is the will of the family or the village, it is not something that individuals can resist." Uchiha Haratake sighed in a deep tone.

"Oh."

After a long silence, Uchiha Haramu patted Ling's shoulder, "Don't think about it so much, let's base ourselves on the present at a young age, and prepare for tomorrow's mission." ”

"Well, teacher, can you tell me about my parents?" Ling nodded and asked.

"Your parents......

Yusuke, he's my cousin, and he was a very talented ninja at the beginning, but like most Uchiha, he was arrogant, and he had a few fights with me when I was a kid.

Later, after becoming a ninja, he was also a well-known mission maniac in the clan, and it wasn't until he met your mother that his temperament calmed down......" Uchiha Hara Takeshi said slowly with a look of reminiscence.

"Father, he's a proud man, but ...... Teacher, you don't look like an Uchiha, so lifeless. Ling sighed.

"Haha, speaking of which, Ling you are the same, you don't look like a child at all, it's really not cute." Uchiha Haratake laughed.

Then he asked, "What about Ling's ideals?" ”

"I want to be a great ninja."

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"So that I can achieve my ideals."

“……”

Black lines appeared on Uchiha Hara's head.

Ling asked curiously, "What about the teacher?" What are the ideals of a teacher? ”

"Me...... Hehe, my ideals are getting farther and farther away......"

"The teacher must have a great ideal."

"Of course, that's why I got to this point in the first place, but now it seems like the opposite is true." Uchiha Haratake sighed.

"Maybe the teacher is not strong enough."

"Haha, stinky boy, the teacher is very strong." Uchiha Hara Takeshi scolded with a smile, and then said to Ling:

"But I believe that Ling will definitely become a better ninja in the future. Maybe you'll be able to achieve your dreams. ”

"Of course, in order to achieve my dreams, I have worked very hard, and I will ...... in the future I'll work harder! Ling said confidently.

"Haha, then I'm looking forward to the day when you realize the way of ninja!"
