Chapter 2 Conversation at the School Gate
Konoha Ninja Village, 0317.
"In the first two years, everyone learned basic theoretical knowledge, but from now on, it is time to practice practically. Standing on the podium, Iruka propped up the lectern with both hands, and said word by word: "Practical practice is to exercise and practice the following standards for you outdoors!"
"......Boom" The students in the whole classroom began to talk, and the children's faces were full of joy, even Naruto was no exception.
"So, I finally don't have to study those boring lecture notes?" The young man named Inuzuka grinned, but attracted the "affectionate" gaze of Iruka on the stage, and immediately closed his mouth.
Another student sitting next to him looked up, yawned, and then leaned back on the table, muttering, "Alas, it's time for practical exercises, trouble......"
"Hey, Shikamaru, don't look downcast. Oh, I'll treat you to potato chips. Dingji, who was sitting next to him, kept stuffing potato chips into his mouth, and at the same time secretly took out another bag of potato chips from under the table, and pushed it to Shikamaru's arm with a smile.
Shikamaru: "......"
Inuzuka: "......"
At this time, Iruka raised his hand to stop the class talking, only to see him say, "Okay, no need to discuss it now." Everyone went to the first training ground, where there was a set of ninja equipment, and each person received a kunai and three shurikens, and we were going to start practicing. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a "whoosh", and a group of students below had already begun to rush frantically towards the outside of the classroom, startling Iruka who was still standing on the podium. Iruka smiled wryly, put away the handouts on the table, and held them in his hands.
At this point, there were only a few students left in the empty classroom. Iruka thought for a moment, stopped a student who was walking out, and said, "Sasuke, you can show everyone the shuriken throwing in a moment, okay?"
The boy named Sasuke stopped, and after listening to Iruka's words, he continued to walk out without saying a word.
-- Training ground No. 1.
On the large training ground, there are many wooden stakes, and there are some scratches and small holes on the wooden stakes, which seem to witness the efforts of previous students. In the open space next to it, a group of students from Irukaban stood in place, excitedly fiddling with a few ninja tools in their hands.
Iruka walked over and clapped his hands, and only after the students had turned their attention did he say, "Now, let's practice throwing shuriken first." ”
As he spoke, he took out a shuriken from his ninja bag, squeezed it in his hand, and said, "Shuriken can be said to be a hidden weapon. We call it a hands-off weapon, which means that the weapon is not used after the shot. ”
After a pause, he raised his arm, shook the shuriken in his hand, and continued: "And this kind of shuriken is called a car sword. It is this shuriken throwing that we practice. You see, it has a lot of fangs on it, and when thrown, the rook sword will fly in a disc style, and the fangs can cause a lot of damage to the enemy during the high-speed spin. ”
"Okay, now let Sasuke-san show us how to throw a shuriken. ”
Hearing this, the students in the clearing were boiling. The girls, in particular, screamed with excitement. Among the screams, the two voices were the loudest.
Sakura Haruno, who has pink hair, clenched her fists and shouted excitedly, "Sasuke-kun, come on!
Ino, who was standing next to Sakura Haruno, pursed his lips, glared at her, turned his head and shouted sweetly at Sasuke, "Come on, Sasuke-kun!"
......
"Isn't it, this guy has such a big charm?" Inuzuka looked at the excited looks of the girls one by one, and looked unhappy.
"According to my observations...... "Shino, an oil girl wearing black sunglasses and a high collar, said lightly, "That's it." ”
Inuzuka: "......"
Sasuke Uchiha stepped forward, three shurikens in his hands, and was about to throw. At this time, three sounds, "bang" and "bang", sounded, and three shurikens had been pierced on the stake in the distance.
Silence, silence.
The girls looked at the three shurikens tied on the stake, and then looked at the three that Sasuke had not yet thrown out in his hand, and they didn't react for a while, and they were stunned in place. Ino and Sakura, who have been competing, were also stunned.
"How...... What's going on?" the students were dumbfounded.
"It's ...... Who voted for it?"
Sasuke looked at the three shurikens on the stake, standing in place and not speaking.
Iruka stood by in disbelief, staring blankly at one of the students in the crowd.
With blonde hair and six whisker-like scratches on his face, it was Naruto Uzumaki.
Slowly, the attention of the whole class shifted to Naruto. Naruto, on the other hand, didn't know it, and looked at the three shuriken inserted in the stake in the distance, and he looked happy and said, "This is fun!"
Iruka believes that she must have heard it wrong, and some people say that kunai and shuriken are fun?
However, it wasn't just him, everyone in the class couldn't believe their eyes.
I saw Naruto happily pick up a shuriken that was thrown on the ground next to him, and threw it vigorously against the front without looking at it. One by one, after a while, a small pile of shuriken on the ground had all been thrown by him.
Look at the few wooden stakes in the distance, densely tied with shuriken. All the shurikens were tightly attached to it, and none of them fell to the ground.
There was silence for a long time, and then someone slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and muttered in surprise: "This ...... Did Naruto Uzumaki lose it?"
The audience was boiling again.
"Didn't I hear that Naruto Uzumaki wasn't a crane tail?"
"yes, I've heard it is, too. Since he went to school, he has changed classes a lot, and the teachers are all ......"
"That'...... How about him?"
"Shuriken throwing is so good, if this is the level of the tail of the crane, then wouldn't I...... Not as good as him?"
"It shouldn't be......"
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Oh my God!"
......
"Good...... It's amazing!" Inuzuka looked at Naruto in shock. The oil girl Shino beside him pushed his glasses, nodded, and said, "Indeed." ”
Sasuke Uchiha calmly looked at everything on the scene, and then he walked up to Naruto step by step and stopped.
The students fell silent again and looked at the two in the center.
"You're ......," Sasuke Uchiha began.
Could it be that he saw Naruto Uzumaki steal his limelight and wanted to get back on the field? Or was it ......
There was a burst of speculation in everyone's mind.
Finally, Sasuke said, "You're good. It's very different from that time. Quietly staring into Naruto's eyes, looking at the confusion and confusion in his eyes, Uchiha Sasuke turned around and didn't look at it, the three shuriken in his hand had already been thrown out.
"Bang" The three shuriken flew out along different trajectories, but they hit the target at the same time, and there seemed to be a trilling sound in the air caused by the friction of the shuriken when it flew in the air.
"But...... You can't do it yet. With a word, Sasuke Uchiha left. Leaving behind a stunned group of students.
Iruka's facial muscles froze.
This...... Is this still the tail of the crane that often messes around, plays around, and paints the Hokage?
Looking at Naruto Uzumaki in the venue, and then at Sasuke Uchiha who was walking outside the venue, Iruka didn't speak for a long time.
In the next practice, everyone was disappointed. Everyone sighed as they looked at the shuriken that fell in front of their stake, or at the shuriken that passed by the stake, and then thought about the techniques of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
-- In front of the school gate.
"Alas, it's back to ......"
"Oh, Kyung-kun, see you later. ”
"Goodbye, Ryoko......"
The children said goodbye to their classmates, scattered in twos and threes, and walked home. The front of the ninja school quickly became empty.
It's just that a girl is still standing by the wall, constantly playing with her fingers, as if trying to hide the ...... in her heart Happy? or shy. She didn't know either.
Finally, when the girl looked up at the school gate again, the person she was waiting for finally appeared.
With golden hair and light blue eyes, the young man held his head in his hands and hummed something softly, and slowly walked out.
"Naruto-kun!" the girl called out in surprise, causing the boy to turn his head to look.
"Are you?" the boy looked blankly at the girl in front of him.
Naruto...... Naruto-kun, I'm ...... I'm Hinata Hinata. We are in a class and in ...... In classroom 0317. ”
"Oh. The young man thought for a moment and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
"Uh......" The girl was stunned, lowered her head, and said softly, "That's right." I'm going to thank you with Naruto-kun for that ...... Well, thank you, Naruto-kun. ”
The girl blushed with shame, and as soon as she said that, she quickly ran away, leaving Naruto still blank.
The girl is Hinata.
- Hokage's office.
"Three generations of adults, today...... I...... Naruto ...... "Iruka, who was standing on the ground, was entangled for a while, and he couldn't speak.
"Hehe, little Naruto is pretty good today!" said what he wanted to say for Iruka with a smile.
"Hmmm......"
"Three generations of adults...... This, Naruto and him who was rumored before...... It's different, then ......" Iruka was interrupted by the third generation before he could finish speaking.
"Isn't that good?"
Iruka froze. Half-ringing, exited the office.
"yes, isn't that good?"
Ape Feiri stood in place, looking out the window, muttering in his mouth.
--A river not far from the Konoha Ninja School.
"Poof" a stone is thrown in the river, splashing a thin splash.
Sasuke Uchiha squatted on the shore, his eyes looking at the river, and he was distracted.
"Alright, Sasuke. Now go home!" At some point, a man wearing an animal mask appeared next to him and said to him.
Sasuke stood up, turned his head to look at his brother who was taking off his mask next to him, and smiled.
His eyes missed Itachi's body and his eyes looked at the tall barbed wire fence in the distance. He seemed to see the boy who had been lying there before.
"Vortex...... Naruto. ”
