Sarutobi Hiruzen bit his pipe, his eyes resting on Haruki's application form for leadership.
Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina were within his expectations.
Ninja schools are one of the focuses of ANBU surveillance.
He has been paying attention to Haruki since he became the vice principal.
Qingshu brought many unexpected surprises.
Whether it is inheriting the will of fire or telling the stories of past generations of Hokage, it is excellent.
What satisfied him most was that during the lecture, Haruki compared him with the previous two generations of Hokages.
Although he is called the strongest Hokage, he is self-aware.
Not to mention Senju Hashirama, even his teacher, Senju Tobirama, was far inferior to him.
"This kid has a problem."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe.
Namikaze Minato was a commoner. Although he was the number one in his class, he was nothing.
Uzumaki Kushina is a little more troublesome.
Because she is a candidate for the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.
Only a few people know this news currently, and I have to say that the Uzumaki clan is really suitable to become a Jinchuriki.
You can see it from Uzumaki Mito.
There has never been a problem in all these years.
As a powerful weapon that shocks the ninja world, the jinchūriki must be stable and used by Konoha.
Uzumaki Kushina's identity as an orphan is the icing on the cake. As long as Konoha treats her a little better, she is not afraid of giving up.
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment.
According to this theory, maybe it's not a bad thing for her to become Haruki's apprentice.
Qingshu, he believes it.
Judging from the current performance, Haruki has completely understood the will of fire and is willing to contribute to Konoha.
And he is Tsunade's boyfriend.
It's basically impossible to betray Konoha.
In fact, what troubled him the most was the third student chosen by Haruki.
Uchiha Mikoto.
How could he have thought of getting involved with an Uchiha?
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo have been implementing the strategies of their master Senju Tobirama.
Divide and suppress the Uchiha clan.
Haruki has been marked by him as a member of the Hokage lineage.
He shouldn't associate with Uchiha.
"Hokage-sama, Uchiha Mikoto's information." An ANBU appeared.
"Um."
Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the information and read it.
He had no impression of Uchiha Mikoto.
Now that I understand it, he is indeed an ordinary Uchiha who has not even opened his Sharingan.
"It doesn't seem to have any impact."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while. He had been suppressing the Uchiha clan secretly, but he had not yet made it clear.
Since she's not a genius, let her go.
He picked up the pen, checked the box, and agreed to Qingshu's application.
…
"La la la~"
Uzumaki Kushina hummed an unknown tune.
She hasn't been this happy for a long time since the Uzumaki clan was destroyed.
Thinking of Teacher Haruki, Uzumaki Kushina was full of expectations for her future ninja career.
In fact, she always had an embarrassing thought in her mind.
Because she experienced war when she was young, she very much hopes for a peaceful and stable life.
The appearance of Qingshu perfectly fulfilled her wish.
She didn't know when she started to feel that Qingshu looked like her mother.
Gentle and good-looking.
"Kushina!"
"what?"
Uzumaki Kushina suddenly straightened her face and snorted softly.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze felt a little complicated.
Uzumaki Kushina always looked at him through colored glasses.
It made him wonder if he had done anything to feel sorry for her.
"We are teammates from today on, please give me your advice!"
"..."
Uzumaki Kushina suddenly thought of the Rasengan that Namikaze Minato had tried so hard to teach her yesterday, and her tone became slightly softer.
"Let's work together."
"Um!"
Namikaze Minato nodded vigorously.
The two arrived at the location Qingshu informed last night.
The third training ground.
"teacher!"
Uzumaki Kushina saw Haruki from a distance and said hello excitedly.
Namikaze Minato felt sour and envious.
I don’t know when I will be treated like Teacher Haruki.
"teacher."
Namikaze Minato bowed slightly and looked around, but didn't find the second person, "Teacher, where are our teammates?"
"No hurry, I'll be there soon."
Haruki asked with a smile, "Minato, are you so eager to see the little beauty?"
"I didn't, I'm not, teacher, don't talk nonsense!"
Namikaze Minato was so frightened that he quickly glanced at Uzumaki Kushina.
But to his disappointment she had no reaction.
Qingshu stopped teasing him and turned to look at the other side of the forest.
"Here she comes."
Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina heard the words and looked in the direction.
"Mikoto?"
Uzumaki Kushina blurted out in surprise.
The beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes who came over was her only few friends in Konoha.
Uchiha Mikoto.
"Kushina."
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were slightly bright, but her reaction was not as intense as Uzumaki Kushina's, and she seemed to have an extremely calm personality.
To be honest, she was surprised when she found out that she was chosen as a student by Haruki.
She is a few years older than Uzumaki Kushina.
Because her talent was average, she returned to her family directly after graduation.
If nothing else happens, it will be reduced to a tool to maintain bloodline.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
In less than two years, she may marry Uchiha Fugaku, the heir to the clan head.
Uchiha Mikoto looked at Haruki.
The first impression is that he is handsome.
She had heard of Qingshu's name for a long time.
During the Second Ninja War, he became famous with Princess Tsunade and even became her boyfriend.
The most amazing thing is that even the Uchiha don't hate him very much.
It is quite rare for those proud tribesmen not to dislike someone.
Perhaps it was for this reason that she was able to get her parents' consent to become his student.
Dang Dang Dang.
Qingshu took out two bells and shook them.
"As usual, the teacher will give the three of you a small test. It's very simple. If you grab the bell, you will pass."
"Teacher, are you missing a bell?" Uzumaki Kushina asked.
"Kushina, sensei is testing our tacit understanding." Namikaze Minato answered before Haruki could.
The corners of Qingshu's mouth turned up slightly.
Really smart.
But young man, you are on a narrow road.
What about your high emotional intelligence?
Sure enough, falling in love makes people stupid.
And Uzumaki Kushina did not accept his favor.
"I'm asking the teacher."
Namikaze Minato's expression froze, rather hurt.
Uchiha Mikoto next to her showed a faint smile, and she could tell the situation between the two of them at a glance.
"Okay, the small talk is over."
Qingshu shook the bell again and then put it on his waist.
"I only use the strength of Chuunin, so I look forward to your performance."
The moment he finished speaking, the three of them disappeared in front of him.
No one attacked recklessly.
Tsk.
Sure enough, ninjas with personalities like Naruto Uzumaki are the ones with problems.
Qingshu thought for a while, and instead of standing still, walked towards the forest.
For the sake of fairness, he did not expand his perception.
In other words, he did not know the location of the three people.
Of course, if the attack is in front of you, you can naturally see it.
call out!
Strange wind noise.
Haruki raised his head and saw several shurikens falling.
