"He has already graduated, so naturally he won't come."
Yamanaka Ino smiled and said consolingly, "Now that you have become a genin, the chances of meeting him will increase in the future, and maybe we can even perform missions together."
Generally speaking, tasks are performed in teams.
There are exceptions, however.
For example, if the task is too difficult, multiple teams can cooperate.
In addition, there is another situation.
That means a member of the team is temporarily absent for some reason.
At this time, they will be assigned to other teams and become non-staff personnel.
Until his teammates return.
"This depends on luck."
Haruno Sakura suddenly raised her head and asked, "How are you doing as Hokage's secretary?"
"still learning."
Yamanaka Ino sighed secretly.
Although he occasionally flirted with Natsume, the progress was still relatively average.
But it's understandable.
She is busy studying.
As the Hokage, Natsume is naturally busy.
"Why are you asking this?"
Yamanaka Ino raised his eyebrows and said, "I won't do anything selfish for you."
Haruno Sakura curled her lips and said: "This is called a reasonable change within the scope of functions."
"If it were before, I could still help you, but not now."
Yamanaka Ino raised his hand and said, "Now the tasks are released through the bracelet."
"I forgot about this."
Haruno Sakura looked at it twice and said, "I heard that this bracelet has many functions, and it can also be exchanged for ninjutsu and so on."
"Well, it does work."
Yamanaka Ino got the Skynet login device in advance because she was an intern as Hokage's secretary.
Of course, it is now called a mission bracelet.
"It will be very convenient for you to do tasks from now on, whether it is accepting or completing them."
Yamanaka Ino introduced, "Ninjas who perform well in tasks will receive extra points, which you said can be used to redeem rewards such as ninjutsu."
"Is there any secret technique?"
Haruno Sakura was shocked when she heard this and asked.
She has followed the pharmacist Nonoyu for so many years and has learned a lot about the ways of the world.
He has a clear understanding of ninjas and civilian ninjas.
The gap between the two is huge.
It mainly lies in the limits of blood inheritance and secret techniques.
Especially since she has seen the strength that Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto usually display.
Even though it was just a little bit, it was enough to put her beyond reach.
Even Yamanaka Ino has gained a lot of distance after practicing the Yin Seal.
Like in the original work, the two people tied in the Chunin Exam, which is probably unlikely to happen again.
"There are both ordinary secret techniques and advanced ninjutsu."
Yamanaka Ino nodded and said, "But if you want to redeem it, you have to work hard."
"of course."
Haruno Sakura showed a bright smile and said with emotion, "Hokage-sama is really the best Hokage in history."
Before the Hokage, few were willing to open up a large number of ninjutsu and secret techniques to civilian ninjas.
Unless you show extremely high talent.
For example, Jiraiya or Orochimaru.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for most civilian ninjas to be exposed to too many ninjutsu.
Under normal circumstances, if you learn the Three Body Technique, you will be a genin.
If you have one or two B-level ninjutsu, you can be a chunin.
As for the Joint Chunin Examination in the original work, that is another matter.
That thing is equivalent to an external exhibition, and the intensity is naturally full.
If the standards of the Joint Chuunin Examination were really followed, there would be few qualified Chunin in the entire Konoha Village.
"Will Hokage-sama come today?"
Akimichi Choji, who had been chewing potato chips silently, asked.
Since Akimichi Shitō became the Hokage's bodyguard, the status of the Akimichi clan has improved a lot, and they have even more respect for the Hokage.
Speaking of Natsume, Nara Shikamaru, who was lying on the table, also raised his head, a little curious.
Naruto is originally the idol of the younger generation of ninjas.
And Natsume is even more prosperous now.
I don’t know how many people targeted him.
Of course Nara Shikamaru is not among them.
His character is still very lazy.
In the original work, Sarutobi Asuma's death made him improve.
But now they are not familiar with each other.
"will come."
Yamanaka Ino saw Natsume's itinerary at Yuhi Kurenai's yesterday, so she said with certainty.
People nearby were a little excited when they heard this.
They are the best students in this class, and they might even get a chance to meet up close.
"I want to tell him face to face that my dream is to become Hokage like him!"
Inuzuka Kiba said excitedly.
Akamaru barked under his feet, but it was rather perfunctory.
Even the dog understands that this dream is too illusory.
"I think being able to become one of the Hokage's bodyguards is already quite amazing."
Akimichi Choji said.
"What? Since it's a dream, you have to think further!"
Inuzuka Kiba showed a confident smile and said, "Everything is possible."
"you……"
Aburame Shino was just about to speak when she saw Umino Iruka walking into the classroom.
He hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak again.
"Congratulations to everyone for becoming a real ninja."
Umino Iruka knocked on the blackboard, took out a list with a smile, and said, "Those who come to mind should go see your leading teacher."
Haruno Sakura and others immediately became nervous.
Needless to say, the importance of leading teachers.
Whether it is for safety reasons or to learn more knowledge, a good teacher is naturally conducive to the growth of students.
Yamanaka Ino didn't panic.
She already knew who her teacher was in advance.
Medicine bag.
Her nominal senior brother.
"Team 8, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino and Haruno Sakura."
Umino Iruka paused and said, "Your teacher is waiting outside the classroom."
"Let's work hard together from now on."
Haruno Sakura's hanging heart dropped.
Her two teammates are already quite good.
Except for Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto who have already graduated, they may be even worse than Inokacho.
But they are a fixed combination and cannot be separated.
"Ino, I'll take the first step."
Haruno Sakura said hello and left the classroom with her two teammates and a dog.
I became even more excited after seeing Shizune again.
Although he didn't become Tsunade's apprentice, becoming his disciple was considered as entering the door.
But she quickly thought of a question.
In this case, wouldn't it mean that he is a whole generation lower than Yamanaka Ino?
In the classroom, class division continues.
"Team 10, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji."
Umino Iruka thought.
A ninja team with almost no suspense.
Everyone in Konoha Village knows that the Pig, Deer and Butterfly combination can have the greatest effect when combined together.
Therefore, except for special circumstances, the team is formed like this.
"Let's go."
Yamanaka Ino took the lead and left the classroom.
Nara Shikamaru walked slowly at the end.
The three people soon met their leading teacher.
Medicine bag.
Except for Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji all showed blank expressions.
None of them have seen Yakushi Kabuto.
But they were soon attracted by another person next to them.
"Hokage-sama."
Nara Shikamaru and others answered in unison.
Because there were outsiders present, Yamanaka Ino also called him Hokage-sama instead of Natsume-kun in private.
Natsume didn't favor one over the other, every ninja team went there.
But here is the main body, and the others are shadow clones.
The purpose is to brush up one's own image.
"Congratulations on your graduation. I hope you can become an excellent ninja in the future."
Natsume glanced at the three people, and finally met Yamanaka Ino's eyes.
Yamanaka Ino was not shy, but curved the corners of her mouth, revealing a rather girlish smile.
"This is Kabuto Yakushi. He is an all-powerful ninja. You will understand later."
Natsume looked away and said with a smile, "Leave the rest of the time to your team. I won't disturb you and just take the first step."
He disappeared from everyone's sight.
The pharmacist twitched his lips.
He never expected to become a team leader.
But now that it’s over, let’s just be a little more careful.
It's true that he hasn't left Konoha Village for a long time.
The residence of the Uchiha clan.
Because Uchiha Sasuke graduated early, there were no Uchiha clan members in this class.
It seemed relatively quiet at this time.
Natsume knocked on the door.
Ever since Uchiha Mikoto became pregnant, he would not suddenly appear in the room.
Mainly because I'm afraid of scaring her.
The door opened quickly.
"Why are you free today?"
Uchiha Mikoto asked with some confusion when she saw Natsume.
"We've finished the work at the ninja school."
Natsume held her hand, walked into the room, and closed the door.
He sat on the sofa, then stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Uchiha Mikoto's waist.
Uchiha Mikoto leaned into his arms quite naturally, with a faint smile on her face.
She likes this feeling.
"You are four months pregnant, right?"
Natsume asked while playing with her slender fingers with his right hand.
"Um."
Uchiha Mikoto subconsciously glanced at her abdomen.
There are already some vague outlines and a slight bulge.
"When do you plan to go to the Fire Country Metropolis?"
Natsume emphasized, "After you go there, you will definitely be surprised by the changes there."
"If you say that, then I have to look forward to it."
Uchiha Mikoto smiled softly and said.
"you will like it."
Natsume raised an eyebrow and said.
"Let's go tomorrow."
Uchiha Mikoto glanced at him and said.
"Did you tell Sasuke?"
Natsume was a little surprised that she picked the time so quickly.
He originally thought it would be postponed.
After all, after Uchiha Mikoto left, Uchiha Sasuke had no one to take care of him for the time being.
"said."
Uchiha Mikoto said with emotion, "He understands very well. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Sasuke would also become an adult."
"Children grow up very fast."
Natsume thought of his daughter Chinatsu.
Now I can walk independently.
I just don’t know what the talent is.
Uchiha Mikoto had used the Mangekyō Sharingan eye technique on Tsunade before.
Give Chinatsu a high chance of inheriting her parents’ talent.
But this thing doesn’t have any hints.
Can't see it yet.
Chinatsu is young, and Tsunade doesn't want her to start training so early.
That will affect normal development.
"Um."
Uchiha Mikoto nodded with a complicated expression.
She thought of Uchiha Itachi.
He was just too precocious, but he didn't meet the right person.
If Natsume had been the Hokage at that time, maybe the Uchiha clan would not have fallen to this point.
It's a pity that there is no if.
Natsume didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing that she was in a daze, he thought she didn't want to leave.
"When the time comes, I will ask Sasuke to visit you from time to time."
"Thanks."
Uchiha Mikoto came back to her senses and said subconsciously.
"You still want to say thank you to me?"
Natsume patted her buttocks.
Uchiha Mikoto's body trembled, feeling like she was getting an electric shock.
She subconsciously looked at Natsume.
There was regret and pity in his eyes.
Natsume raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm hungry and want to eat."
Uchiha Mikoto was suddenly startled, her eyes moved downward, and her face suddenly turned red.
She moved her body and said, "Be careful."
The room in winter is suddenly filled with warmth.
Perhaps because she was about to leave, Uchiha Mikoto was rarely excited.
This reminded Natsume of the time he helped her open her eyes a long time ago.
But it was a negative emotion at first, and now it is a positive emotion.
afternoon.
After eating and drinking, Natsume returned to the Hokage's office.
Yuhi Hong has sorted out the information.
She glanced at Natsume who had a cheerful face, curled her lips and said, "Hokage-sama, the office is for working."
"Sister Hong."
Natsume felt her somewhat resentful tone and couldn't help but smile, "Here, give me a hug."
"..."
Kurenai Yuhi ignored his teasing, put the information in front of him, and said, "You should fulfill your duties as Hokage."
"All right."
Natsume nodded obediently.
Yuhi Hong looked at him flipping through the information, the corners of her mouth raised, and she outlined a beautiful smile.
What about Naruto?
You still have to listen to me.
It was this familiar scent that made her a little dissatisfied.
It seems that besides Black Cat, there are other women.
I thought he was a good man, but I didn't expect him to be such a scumbag.
Yuhi Hong sighed.
It seems like I screwed up.
Even the rest of my life was sold to him.
Yuhi Hong thought and came behind him, stretching out her hands to massage his head.
Natsume was slightly startled, then leaned against her without any politeness.
With his warm and soft body on his pillow, he naturally didn't want to deal with any more information.
Fortunately, he just came back from Uchiha Mikoto, so he didn't think about anything and closed his eyes.
Yuhi Hong moved her hands to his forehead.
She looked down at his handsome face, a faint smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
soon.
She pressed it up and bit the corner of her mouth hard.
"Your punishment."
Seeing him open his eyes, Yuhi Hong snorted and said.
"..."
Natsume realized the problem at this time.
I can only blame Uchiha Mikoto for having a better scent.
However, Yuhi Hong's attitude also made him realize.
If you have something to do as a secretary, if you have nothing to do, etc., you may have to do it soon.
