"This year's newcomers seem to be some good seedlings."

In the lounge, with a thousand books in his mouth, he leaned back against the loose sofa and held a book that recorded student materials in his hand, and after a quick glance, he said what he thought in his heart.

"I'd rather they'd be more ordinary, so that would make our job a lot easier."

A young woman who was also sitting with her back against the sofa rubbed her eyebrows and spoke.

Sunset Red is the young woman's name.

It's Konoha who specializes in illusion, with long black hair, with a good gorgeous appearance, plus the attribute of being unmarried, it is very popular among men of the right age.

At this moment, she frowned distressedly, looked at the three student materials in her hand, and sighed that it was tricky.

"Why, are you starting to get troubled?"

Genma asked with a playful smile.

Before Hong could answer, a bearded uncle-faced man next to him was the first to speak: "Probably because I just became a shinobi for a short time, but it's just a group of little ghosts, Hong, you just need to train a little, there is no need to add too much burden to yourself." ”

Red can't deny this.

Unlike Genma and the man with this uncle's face, she is not only a new shinobi, but also a special ninja.

Compared to the real Shinobi, a lot of her experience seems insufficient.

And teaching students is also the first time in life.

Especially my three students, all of whom are students with extraordinary backgrounds.

Inuzuka Tooth, Oil Girl Shino and ...... Hinata Hinata.

Needless to say, the first two are the ninjas of the Inuzuka clan, whose personalities tend to be bold and hearty, and they are easy to touch. Although the ninjas of the Oil Girl clan like to be silent, they are not a difficult group to get along with.

The Hyuga clan is different.

Red's first impression of the Hyuga clan was old-fashioned concepts such as tradition, wealth, nobility, and rules.

What's more, Hinata Hinata is still the eldest daughter of the clan family.

With your own ability, can you really be qualified for such a job?

Red is a little unconfident inside.

Besides, the field she is good at doesn't match these three students very well, right?

Red didn't understand how the Hokage had bound himself to the three of them.

The Inuzuka clan and the Oil Maiden clan both have their own secret art inheritances, and it is impossible to follow her to learn illusions.

And the Hyuga clan is even more extreme, with white eyes and soft fists as their signatures, and it is impossible to learn illusions from her.

As for their respective secret techniques and blood inheritance limits, Hong felt that he didn't know anything about it, and the suggestions he could make were very meager.

Don't...... Is it specially for her to be the exclusive nanny of the three?

Thinking of this, Hong shook her head slightly and smiled bitterly.

At this moment, suddenly there was a choking smell of smoke in her nose, her red brows furrowed even deeper, and she glared at the uncle-faced man sitting next to her with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Asma, how many times have you said it, don't smoke in the room." ”

As she spoke, Red covered her nose slightly, a little disgusted by Asma's smoking.

"Uh...... Sorry, I'll pay attention next time. ”

Asma seemed a little angry when she saw Red, and quickly pinched off the cigarette butt and put it in the ashtray.

"The relationship between the two is really good."

Genma said with a smile.

"Where's the good? This guy is a smoker. ”

Red snorted.

"No way, it runs in families."

Asma shrugged her shoulders and excused her smoking.

As he spoke, he subconsciously took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and as soon as he took out half of the cigarette, he saw the red eyes, Asma coughed, and stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket.

This smoker...... Obviously, when he was partying with us, he had never been so honest, and he couldn't stop pumping every time. Seeing Asma subdued by the red eyes, Genma couldn't help but complain in his heart.

While the three of them were chatting, the door to the lounge was suddenly opened.

Kakashi, who was wearing a Konoha standard shinobi uniform, walked in.

"You're all here."

Kakashi was no stranger to him.

"Are you the one who deliberately quit your job in the shadows to do the work of those of us at the bottom, are you here to experience life?"

Genma put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"It's just a vacation, and it's too ugly to say that I'm here to experience life. If you'd like, I could swap three of my students with yours and let you experience what it's like to be weighted by the top. How about a swap and give it a try? ”

Kakashi said, looking at Genma.

"No, I want to live a few more years."

Genma waved his hand, lest he avoid it.

Kakashi was going to be in charge of guiding the shinobu thing, and these colleagues had heard a little bit from Ibiki.

After all, this is not an unspeakable secret, under the big mouth of Ibiki, in the upper ninja group, it is not well known, but it has also reached a similar situation.

Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, which of these two can be called 'troublesome' existences.

It's just that Kakashi can suppress these two troublesome imps.

is worthy of being the Minister of the Dark Department, and he also seems to have a lot of room at this moment.

Compared to the students Kakashi taught, his students were ordinary.

Such a dull mentoring career is what Genma expects the most.

"It's a bit boring to sit like this, so let's watch TV for a while."

As he spoke, Genma picked up the remote control next to him and turned on the TV in the lounge.

There is an interview program on the TV, a beautiful girl with long black hair, who is smiling and giving an exclusive interview to the TV crew.

"Who is this?"

Seeing the girl being interviewed on TV, Red couldn't help but be curious.

"Red, don't you know?"

Asma had an unlit cigarette in her mouth.

"I don't watch much TV, and TV appliances are expensive, right?"

Red said.

"It's a little expensive, after all, it has to be transported all the way from the country of ghosts, and there are very few other places that sell this kind of thing. But if you want to see it, it's good to come here and rub it off, and you don't have to spend money on it yourself anyway. ”

Asma's words are righteous and awe-inspiring, proving that this is not the first time he has done this.

"So who is this girl, and where is she a celebrity? It's like I've seen it somewhere. ”

Red pondered.

"Snow Country Daimyo Kazeka Koyuki is said to be the number one movie actor in the world with a fan base of nearly one million fans. It is said that when Jiraiya was creating, he seemed to want to cooperate with the other party, but he was sternly refused. ”

Asma flicked the cigarette in her mouth, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

“！？”

Daimyo of One Country...... Acting in a movie? Or the number one hit movie actor?

Red patted his head, is he an old antique that can't keep up with the times?

In her opinion, the daimyo was the kind of noble person who was in a luxurious palace, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and enjoyed the offerings of countless servants...... As a result, seeing the girl on TV who can smile and talk with ordinary people, Red has a new perspective on the group of daimyo for the first time.

"Not only that, it is said that many wealthy people directly choose to immigrate to the snow country in order to chase stars, resulting in the snow country's financial income has continued to rise wildly in recent years."

Genma added on the side.

“……”

Red was speechless.

Is this the celebrity effect? It's terrifying.

"By the way, I'm also a big fan of Daimyo Koyuki! Every time I buy a movie ticket, I have to compete to buy a first-class seat as a sign of sincerity! ”

Genma said proudly, as if it was something to be proud of.

"I want to ask, Genma senior, how much does a ticket cost for a first-class seat?"

Red hesitated and asked.

"About 100,000 taels to start, after all, every time there is a ticket priceless, several times I spent 200,000 taels and didn't buy a ticket."

Genma put on a smug expression that he had made a lot of money.

“……”

Red and Asma looked at Genma like crazy people.

As for Kakashi, his gaze was weird.

Genma, this guy can't be Konoha's inner ghost, right?

The country of ghosts has seen its economy soar in recent years, and Genma is also one of the heroes who have contributed to it.

Because Kakashi knew that it was the one from the Oni Country who was behind the wind and flowers.

If you think about it, the future of Konoha is really worrying.

As the three of them watched the movie interview show on TV with relish, Kakashi remembered something and said, "By the way, Asma, it seems that Hokage-sama has something to ask you to come over." ”

"Is this the time?"

Asma took the cigarette from her mouth.

"Yes."

"I see."

Asma exhaled and quickly got up from the couch and patted Kakashi on the shoulder as she walked over to him.

Kakashi turned his head to watch Asma leave, only to withdraw his gaze after the other party closed the door.

"Speaking of which, Asma's students this year are ......"

Genma saw Asma go out and asked subconsciously.

Kakashi didn't answer, and Red replied, "It seems to be a new generation of pig deer butterflies." ”

"It doesn't seem like an easy job. However, what is the matter with Asma at this time for Hokage-sama? ”

Genma asked suspiciously.

Their students have already been settled, so there's no need to go for a second meeting. Could it be that something new has happened?

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to Genma and said, "Who knows, maybe it's a whisper between father and son." ”

"Really? But I seem to have heard that Asma and Hokage-sama don't have a good relationship...... This is probably a rumor. ”

Genma shook his head.

Kakashi and Red did not respond to Genma's questions.

Anyway, this kind of topic is a bit sensitive, so it's better not to go into depth.

"Alright, you two talk here, it's almost time. If you're quick, you'll be able to catch lunch together. ”

Red looked at the wall clock on the wall and got up from the couch.

"Is it so soon?"

Kakashi searched for something from his ninja bag.

Although the ninja school must have arranged the grouping of students early, Kakashi didn't feel like he was in a hurry.

I'll stop by for lunch, then take a nap before heading to the ninja school.

"I don't have the confidence of my predecessors, and I am inevitably a little nervous when I first contact students. Moreover, the Hyuga clan may have to visit it later. ”

Red sighed.

Looking at Kakashi's salted fish-like attitude, sometimes, she was really envious.

However, the reason why the other party is so surplus is because he has enough strength to support it.

Her new special forbearance is inevitably a little lacking in confidence in this regard.

Let's just say that Xuanma, who became the upper ninja in the village a few years ago, is not the first time to lead the team, and has rich experience, which is not comparable to her new special ninja.

"Well, then, I wish you all the best."

With Genma's blessing, Red waved his hand and turned to leave the lounge.

◎

"Is there something wrong with calling me here at this time?"

As in the break room, Asma stood somewhat casually in front of Hizaki, but the cigarette in her mouth was already lit.

With Asma's knowledge of tobacco, the air in the Hokage's office was already filled with a faint smell of tobacco.

Before he came, Hizai must have smoked, and quite a few.

"I just wanted to ask, do you have any thoughts about the three students you're going to teach?"

Hizai paused, glanced at his son Asma, and asked out loud.

"Isn't this kind of thing already decided from the beginning?"

Asma frowned.

The Sarutobi clan is a staunch ally of the three ninja clans of Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi.

In the past few decades since the Ape Fei clan was in power, the status of these three families has also risen with the Ape Fei clan.

A single family can't overpower a wealthy family like Uchiha and Hinata, but the three clans are united, and its influence cannot be ignored, and when the Uchiha clan is still alive, they don't dare to provoke the three clans at will, and they will only point the finger directly at the Sarufei clan.

In order to fulfill the family covenant that had been drawn up during the Warring States period, the Sarufei clan needed to use the power of the three clans to continue to maintain the internal balance of the Konoha Ninja Village.

The previous generation of pigs, deer and butterflies also had a lot to do with the high-level of the Ape Fly family.

This time, it is the turn of the new generation of pig deer butterflies, and naturally they also need a ninja of the ape flying clan to get along and maintain this covenant.

This feeling of being arranged, Asma can't say he hates it, but he can't say he likes it, compared to the identity of the son of the Hokage and the ninja family, he sometimes prefers that he is an ordinary Konoha Shinobi, and he doesn't need to bear the strange eyes of others.

However, there is no way to choose such a thing as birth.

Therefore, Asma's arrangement for him this time was expected from the beginning.

This is the duty he must fulfill.

At the same time, it is also to pave the way for his future.

The five generations of Hokage will not fall on the ninjas of the Sarufei clan, and the younger generation of the Sarufei clan, except for him, has no one to provoke the beam.

Once the sun abdicates, the interests of the Ape Fei clan will be damaged.

Until then, it is necessary to make him, the second son, go further in the center of power in Konoha.

Then, the support of the three families of pigs, deer and butterflies is particularly important.

"Alas......"

Looking at the second son who still doesn't deal with him, Ri Slash has a hard time.

Ever since his eldest son died at the hands of Chiba Shiraishi on the battlefield of the Land of Winds, there has always been a spike in his heart that pierces his old body in agony.

There is nothing more painful than the loss of a child in old age.

And after that, Asma, as the second son, was still stubborn, but confronted him everywhere.

Although his personality has been restrained after a period of travel, Hizai understands that Asma has not given up his original ideals.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to entrust this generation of pig deer butterflies to Asma.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in the battlefield of the Land of Rain three years ago, the Daimyo's Mansion suffered heavy losses, even if Asma had the ideals of the past, he could not turn the tide, and could only obediently fulfill the duties and obligations of a Konoha ninja in Konoha.

"Now that you've become a mentor, don't go too far with some things. Otherwise, Lu Jiu's side, I, an old man, can't go over and explain. Did you know? ”

In the end, Hizaki could only say this.

"Of course I understand that. Didn't you ask Kakashi to call me over for that purpose? Rest assured, it won't make it hard for you. No matter how I say it, I'm also a Konoha ninja, and I know exactly what to do and what not to do. ”

Asma looked at her father's aging face, and nodded simply, which was considered an agreement.

I can't see through Asma's mind, but as long as I'm still the Hokage, Hinata doesn't worry about Asma doing anything out of the ordinary. And there is also the support of the Ape Fei clan behind it, even if there is a problem in the future, you can use the power of the family to turn the corner.

Thinking of this, Hizai felt that he was really old when he began to think about what was behind him.

"Then please, after that, go visit the three clans, and have more contact with their patriarchs, which will benefit you a lot."

The day slash decided this matter.

"I said......" Asma frowned, but when she saw Rizai's old face, she finally stopped, exhaled and said, "Forget it, since you have already arranged it, then it is useless to say anything now." ”

With such an unhappy mood, Asma left the office without looking back, leaving a rebellious back.

After staring at Asma's back for a long time, Ri Slash withdrew his gaze and fell silent.

Whether it's as a Hokage or as a father, I've failed a lot.

If his wife, Lake Biwa, hadn't died, perhaps with plenty of maternal love, Asma wouldn't have been so undisciplined as a teenager to become like this.

Soon, Hizai cleaned up this loss.

As Hokage, he can't always indulge in this trance-like memory.

Konoha still needs him to preside over the overall situation.

He took a letter from a drawer and said into the air in his office:

"Pass this letter to Jiraiya and let him make arrangements as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The figure shook for a moment, and the letter vanished as if nothing had happened.

◎

"What are you doing, the people in the other groups have been taken away by their own instructors, why can't the guidance of our group bear it."

In one of the classrooms of the ninja school, Naruto, who was sitting in his seat, yelled impatiently when he saw that only himself, Sakura, and Sasuke were left in the classroom.

Looking back at the clock on the wall at the back of the classroom, the hour and minute hands were pointing at the '12' position, and it was already noon.

My stomach began to growl.

In fact, not only Naruto, but Sakura was also faintly impatient, but she was inspired to become a lady, and she didn't show this impatience on her face.

Sasuke, who was sitting in the corner of the class, didn't express any opinion about Naruto's yelling behavior, but suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

Suddenly hearing the sound of a chair sliding, Naruto subconsciously looked towards Sasuke and was startled.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, although the other party would be his teammate in the future, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of stupidity, really won't he hold himself back?

Therefore, in the face of Naruto's question, Sasuke didn't make a sound, just quietly looked Naruto up and down, as if he wanted to see through the other party.

No matter which way you look at it, the other party seems mediocre, how did he graduate?

Because of the lack of information, Sasuke also didn't know how Naruto got the ninja forehead guard after failing the initial graduation exam.

"Hey, is there anything upset about you looking at me like this? Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up? ”

Naruto rolled his sleeves and snorted coldly, very unhappy with Sasuke's indifferent eyes, as if he was looking down on him condescendingly.

"Naruto, what are you talking about? How could you be Sasuke-kun's opponent? ”

Sakura and Sasuke are on the same page.

Seeing the girl he admired standing next to the cool guy he hated the most, Naruto suddenly felt depressed.

What's so good about this little white face?

With Sakura coming over to intervene, Naruto naturally didn't dare to make a random move.

Although he believed that with the shadow clone technique, he could easily knock Sasuke to the ground. At this point, though, he couldn't be impulsive.

Wait a while, and then surprise Sakura and impress me. Naruto thought happily.

The thought that Sakura would set her eyes on herself when she arrived began to flutter both physically and mentally.

"Look at this point, the other party shouldn't come over for the time being, I'll go out for lunch first, you two are free."

With that, Sasuke walked past Naruto with his hands in his trouser pockets and without looking back.

That cool look directly drew Sakura's gaze away, making Naruto's eyes full of envy and hatred.

Why is this guy deliberately pretending to be cool even when he walks? It's a shame!

As for Naruto's inner thoughts, Sasuke naturally didn't care.

He just had a bad premonition, and it stands to reason that on the premise that the rest of the guidance Shinobi will come, the guidance Shinobi of his group will also come, and it is impossible to miss it by accident.

But the fact is that the rest of the group of students has been picked up for more than an hour, and there is still no movement on their side.

If there is not any special reason, such as some accident on the road...... No, if there really is some irreversible accident, someone else will come and inform them and explain the situation.

Therefore, excluding the above speculation, it is the late arrival of their guidance out of subjective will.

And this kind of deliberately being late, in order to secretly observe the actions of others, made Sasuke suddenly have a very familiar sense of déjà vu.

Hopefully it's not your own delusion.
