Chapter 4: Seeds of Hope
In this year's freshmen, in addition to the yellow ape, the Shimura family also has three children enrolled in the school, all of whom are carefully selected by the family and have good potential.
Three children, two boys and one girl, named Shimura Tani, Shimura Yoshihiko, and Shimura Yuki, of which Shimura Yoshihiko is the grandson of the three elders.
The Shimura clan, in the village, is on the same level as the Sarufei clan, the second level of the ninja clan, there are more than 800 clansmen in the prosperous period, nearly 200 ninjas, of which the upper ninja (especially the upper ninja) is close to 20.
After taking the position of Danzo, serving as the Hokage's assistant, and establishing the roots, the family made great sacrifices in order to support Danzo.
In the more than ten years since the establishment of the roots of the group, the population of the family has shrunk from more than 800 people in the prosperous period to more than 500 people, and the number of ninjas in the family has been directly cut in half, leaving only about 100, which can be described as a great loss of vitality.
The huge sacrifice also brought huge benefits, and with the support of the family's bloodless capital, Tuan Zang firmly grasped the roots into his own hands, and his powerful position in the village reached below one person and above ten thousand people.
With the increase in the power of the group, the number of shops occupied by the family in the village is also increasing, the family's business is growing, the relationship with the nobles of the Fire Country is becoming more and more intimate, and the land held in the Fire Country has more than doubled.
At the same time, with the help of his root position, Tuan Zang has collected a large number of mid-to-high-level ninjutsu for the family, and even forbidden arts.
Today's Shimura clan is the strongest in the past fifty years, but also the weakest.
For the Shimura family, what is most needed is the time for development, the time to be able to transform the benefits they have eaten in the past few years into strength.
And the appearance of the yellow ape, for the Shimura family, is even more shocking, as long as the yellow ape can grow up smoothly, the benefits that the Shimura family has eaten in recent years do not need to worry about being taken away by other families.
Even in the future, with a top powerhouse like the yellow ape, the family can get more benefits.
Because of this, the family's care and support for the yellow ape is all-round, regardless of the cost.
The children of the same generation as the yellow ape can basically hear the praise of their parents and elders for the yellow ape every day, and they have already admonished them.
"The yellow ape is the future patriarch of the family, you must respect him and not offend!"
This is what every child of the Shimura clan has heard.
Shimura Yellow Ape is what his parents say, the kind of perfect child of someone else's family!
Growing up in such an environment, coupled with the approachable personality of the Yellow Ape, the Shimura family, all the children of the same generation as the Yellow Ape, admired him very much, and the children were proud of their close relationship with the Yellow Ape.
Just like the current Shimura Tani, Shimura Yoshihiko, and Shimura Yuki, the three of them knew that they were going to be classmates with Big Brother Yellow Ape, and their hearts were full of joy.
Yoshihiko Shimura, one of the three, was even more proud of his face after knowing that he and his eldest brother were in the same class, and he was showing off with his friends.
"Hahaha!" Under the envious gaze of a group of friends, Yoshihiko Shimura crossed his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Cut!"
Except for the yellow ape, among the three people enrolled this year, the only girl, Yuki Shimura, who has a pair of heroic sword eyebrows, saw Yoshihiko Shimura laughing proudly, and let out a cold snort very unwillingly.
For the yellow ape's brother, Shimura Yuki is also very admired, she and the yellow ape have a similar background, both parents were sacrificed because of the root task, and the two were also taken care of by the family when they were young.
Because of this similar experience, coupled with a strong personality, Yuki Shimura has a fanatical admiration for the yellow ape.
In this entrance exam, Yuki Shimura failed to be admitted to the school's elite class because of a mistake, so she couldn't become a classmate with the yellow ape, which made her regret it even more.
"Yuki, you're jealous of me, aren't you?" Yoshihiko Shimura heard Yuki Shimura's cold snort, and he must not have liked this woman who often pestered the big brother of the yellow ape, "Hahaha! Who told you not to study hard, and you always harass Big Brother Yellow Ape, this time you didn't get into the elite class, it is the result of your usual laziness! ”
"You!" Shimura Yuki was angry, and glared at Yoshihiko Shimura fiercely with big eyes, "When the exam is held at the end of the year, I will challenge you to take back the position of the elite class from the hands of you bastard!" ”
"It's you!" Yoshihiko Shimura held his head high and looked disdainful.
"Alright, don't make any noise!" Shimura Tani, who has the most gentle personality and looks very gentle, stands between the two, with an anxious look on his face, wanting to persuade him.
"Gu Shinobi, get out of the way!" Shimura Yuki was annoyed by Shimura Yoshihiko's attitude, pushed away Shimura Tanishinobu who was in front of him, and prepared to have a good fight with Shimura Yoshihiko.
"Yuqi, I'm not provoking trouble, just Shanyan's attitude, I can't bear it." On the side, a little boy with fox eyes and eyes said.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The yellow ape, who came from a distance and was about to take his three little brothers to the school to attend the opening ceremony, heard the voice of the fox-eyed little brother stirring up trouble before he walked in.
"Shintaro, you guy! You're doing something again, aren't you? ”
The yellow ape stomped his feet, and directly came to the back of the fox Eye Shimura Shintaro, and pressed his right hand directly on the little fox's head, rubbing it vigorously.
Jintaro, who was attacked, had a wisp of shame rising on his little face, this little guy also admired and liked the yellow ape very much!
"Don't touch my head, I've grown up." After being touched for more than ten seconds, Jintaro looked like he had just reacted, and raised his hand to push away the yellow ape's right hand.
"You guy!" The yellow ape shook his head with a smile, bent down and stretched out his hand, stretched out his index finger, and gently tapped Jintaro's forehead.
The yellow ape, who was the "child king" in his previous life, was reincarnated in the Hokage world, and his relationship with his peers in the clan was very close.
At the age of three or four, the mature yellow ape will take the initiative to assist the adults to take care of these little ones and take them to play together.
This is also one of the reasons why the yellow ape is very popular among the children of the family.
For Jintaro, the yellow ape knows very well, the grandson of the great elder, he has been very smart since he was a child, but because he is a premature posthumous child, his health has not been very good, and the qualifications of the ninja are also very average.
For this grandson who lost his parents since he was a child, the Great Elder is also very heartbroken and cherished, and he doesn't want his grandson, who is in poor health and has mediocre qualifications, to suffer, so the Great Elder has no intention of making Jintaro a ninja.
The old man's only hope for his grandson is that he can live his life in peace and happiness!
Because of this, Jintaro, who is very eager to become a ninja in his heart and wants to go to school with the big brother of the yellow ape, is very envious of the three of them.
"Brother Yellow Ape, you will definitely become the strongest ninja in the future!" Shintaro looked up at the yellow ape, his eyes as if they were glowing.
"Of course!" The yellow ape was not polite and admitted it directly.
After speaking, the yellow ape stood up straight and looked at the three little ones who came around.
"Yoshihiko, Yuki, Tani, get ready to go! It's going to be late if you play again! ”
"I'm ready, Big Brother Yellow Ape!"
"Brother Yellow Ape, let's go!"
"Okay, Big Brother Yellow Ape!"
After the three little ones answered the road separately, under the envious eyes of the little friends, they raised their heads with their chests up, and proudly followed behind the yellow ape all the way, walking towards the gate.
