Originally, Haruki planned to take Uchiha Obito to meet Namikaze Minato and the others today, but unexpectedly learned that they were not in Konoha, but had gone to the seaside town in the southeast of the Land of Fire to perform a B-level mission to eliminate pirates.
Of course, it can be called a B-level mission. Naturally, it cannot be an ordinary pirate, but a ninja from Kirigakure Village.
Although Kirigakure Village is far away from the land and surrounded by the sea, there are still many large and small islands.
Coupled with different customs and habits, there are constant frictions with the Fire Country.
They often transformed into pirates and burned, killed and looted along the coast.
Speaking of which, the water shadow of Kirigakure Village and the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village are the most unlucky shadows.
The Mizukage was controlled back and forth by Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito, and the Kazekage was assassinated by the Red Sand Scorpion and Orochimaru one after another.
It's as miserable as a sleeping dragon or a phoenix.
Haruki could only put aside Obito's special training for the time being and switch to the basketball game.
The two teams of Sarutobi Asuma and Hatake Kakashi now play based on personal preferences. Although the games are fancy, there is no unique memory point.
Haruki took advantage of these few days to teach them the signature tricks of some very famous basketball superstars in his previous life.
For example, pull-up jumpers, sky hooks, golden rooster independence, and dreamy steps.
In the previous life, it would have been almost difficult to learn, but with the quality of the ninja and the magic of chakra, even if you can't learn the essence, it still looks almost the same.
All in all, the visual effects of the past week of training are pretty good.
On weekends, the ninja school that should be closed for rest is still very noisy.
After being publicized in Konoha Daily for so long, almost the entire Konoha Village knew about today's basketball game.
In addition, there are the support of the Hokage-sama, Uchiha, Hinata, Hatake and other major families.
It would be a shame not to run over and take a look.
After all, it is human nature to watch and eat.
When Haruki and Tsunade came to the basketball court, they only saw people.
Except for the high basketball hoop, the entire playground was crowded, reminding Harushu of the horrific experience of traveling during the Golden Week in his previous life.
Fortunately, he anticipated such a scenario and built a specially built stand.
"Tsunade, let's go to Hokage-sama."
Haruki pointed to the high platform where Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting. Besides him, there were many familiar faces, such as Hinata Kazuji, Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Fugaku and others.
"OK."
Tsunade was also frightened by the enthusiastic people in front of her, nodded quickly, and came to the stand with Haruki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the two of them and waved: "Konoha Village hasn't been so lively for a long time."
"This shows that under the leadership of Lord Hokage, Konoha has returned to prosperity."
"Hahaha, your mouth is really good at talking."
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh. He thought Haruki would take credit, but he didn't expect him to be so sensible and never mention his own efforts.
"Teacher." Tsunade bowed slightly.
"It's a pity that Jiraiya is not here in such a lively atmosphere." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded towards her, "He is usually the most noisy."
"It must be a pity that he is out working for Konoha." Haruki said with a smile.
He doubted that the reason why Jiraiya was able to stay there to teach Nagato and others for three years was because he was using it as an excuse to train spies. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy to see the consequences of messing up the Rain Country.
"Don't talk about him." Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his voice and asked, "You are their teacher and know their strength best. What do you think Asuma's winning rate is?"
"Fifty-fifty." Qingshu said truthfully.
"Only 50%?" Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "I'm afraid that Asuma will lose his temper again if he loses."
"But I think losing is not a bad thing."
Although Haruki didn't know whether Sarutobi Hiruzen was really afraid that Asuma would lose his temper or that he was afraid of losing the Hokage's face, he still wouldn't do any behind-the-scenes operations.
"Failure is the mother of success. Life can never be smooth sailing. Adversity is not terrible. On the contrary, it is necessary to sharpen the mind."
Haruki looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a serious look on his face and said:
"I am Asuma's teacher and I know him well. He is very good and will not lose his temper because of this. He will sum up this failure and become more courageous as he fights. I think this is the son of Lord Hokage who has inherited the power of fire.
Heir of will."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned on the spot.
No one had ever talked to him like this.
But surprisingly he wasn't angry.
Because it concerns his son Asma.
His impression of Asuma was that he was rebellious and disobedient, and even worried that he would not be able to understand the will of fire.
But thinking about the recent changes in time, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
He thinks he is a qualified Hokage, but he is not a good father.
"Well said, Haruki."
Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hearty smile again, "It seems that making you the principal is indeed the right choice."
"It's because you know people well and make good use of them, and I just did what I should do." Qingshu said modestly.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the stands was very good.
The major families behind Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at each other.
Although they had heard that Haruki was loved by the Hokage, they didn't expect it to have reached this level.
Simply a big hit.
Many people secretly decided not to offend Haruki even if they couldn't become friends.
Only Tsunade curled her lips.
This guy really talks about people and ghosts.
Unspeakably false.
But she's quite cute when she talks about love.
"The game is about to begin."
Haruki saw the students appearing on the basketball court and stopped chatting with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Actually, he was mainly talking about Sarutobi Asuma's performance in school.
He talked about Sarutobi Hiruzen very happily, and he had the illusion that Asuma was so good that he could crush Kakashi.
"Then let's watch the game." Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand and said.
"Okay." After Haruki finished speaking, he ran to Tsunade and couldn't help but smile when he saw her expression, "Here."
Tsunade lowered her head and saw him hooking her fingers, and the trace of dissatisfaction she felt before disappeared, and she held his big warm hand.
Accompanied by bursts of cheers from the melon-eating crowd, the real-life version of "Slam Dunk" was staged.
"Beautiful! Sarutobi Asuma's dunk!"
The instructor on the field used chakra as a loudspeaker to spread his excited voice to the entire ninja school.
"As expected of the Hokage-sama's son, look at this amazing bounce and amazing decision-making. He really dared to shoot! And he even made it!"
"Come on, come on! The genius Kakashi Hatake is staring at Shiranui Genma. He is like the most experienced hunter, and he will tear his prey into pieces in the next moment! Oh oh oh! The ball has been robbed, but Shiranui Genma has not
Defend Kakashi's attack."
"Oh my God! Sarutobi Asuma is like lightning, breaking through the defense zone of Morino Hiki and Kurama Sugumo in an instant. Go in! The goal is in!"
There were endless peaks one after another, and waves of heat were set off high in the ninja school.
In the end, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't hold back and went to the basketball court himself during the halftime break to offer condolences and cheers.
