Looking at the girl in front of him, Watanabe Toru was basically certain that she was the last member of the new Class 11.
Toru Watanabe never expected that his third student would be Izumi Uchiha, whom he had just met once.
Arrange an Uchiha into your team, and he is also Uchiha Itachi's childhood sweetheart...
If Sarutobi Hiruzen did not do all this intentionally, Watanabe Toru would not believe it.
"Watanabe-senpai, you are here too!"
Uchiha Izumi greeted Watanabe Teru calmly, but the girl was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
The moment she walked into the office and saw Toru Watanabe, her heart skipped a beat.
Before she came, she had received vague news that she was placed in a new class, but who would have thought that her new teacher would be Toru Watanabe, who has been in the limelight recently.
Thinking of the conflict between Uchiha Fuji and Toru Watanabe not long ago, Uchiha Izumi felt a little embarrassed.
By the way, if she really wants to study with Toru Watanabe in the future, then everything that happened before may have left a bad impression on him!
"Oh? Do you know each other?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids trembled, a little strange. According to his investigation, Watanabe Toru and Uchiha Izumi should have no intersection.
"I happened to meet Itachi and Izumi when I came here just now. Well, Izumi was by Itachi's side at the time. Itachi introduced me."
Watanabe Toru explained calmly and did not mention the conflict with Uchiha.
"That's it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded without any doubt, and then he continued:
"It's even better now that we know each other! Watanabe, are you satisfied with the members of the new Class 11?"
"Well, I have no other opinions."
They are just a few students. In fact, no matter who they are or what their status is, Toru Watanabe doesn't care.
Hirakawa Tianma, Kurozu Shin, including Uchiha Izumi, who had a small role in the original plot, are actually very average in terms of qualifications and strength.
Toru Watanabe no longer cares much about qualifications. With the means he has, he has many ways to improve his qualifications and strength.
As his students, the only thing he cares about is the character of the three of them.
If the three people's mental abilities meet his requirements, he doesn't mind teaching a few of them seriously.
"In that case, in the next few days, all the members of your new Class 11 will get to know each other. After getting familiar with each other, I hope you, Watanabe, will take them on a mission!"
"Task? What task?"
As soon as Tetsu Watanabe asked, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll and handed it to him.
"Not long ago, Tian Country announced the establishment of the Sound Ninja Village. Although Tian Country's strength is limited, we have to pay attention to the establishment of a Ninja Village."
"Any ninja village, regardless of its strength, will have a great impact on the structure of the ninja world. This time I hope you will lead a team to secretly investigate the newly established Oto Ninja Village."
"It's best to understand the strength of the Oto Ninja Village and its attitude towards Konoha and other Ninja Villages. There are some things that I, as the Hokage, must take precautions against. After so many years in ANBU, Watanabe, you should understand!
”
"Sound ninja?!"
After hearing what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Watanabe Toru's heart was slightly shocked.
The Sound Ninja Village was established at this time? But this is completely wrong!
Although Sound Ninja has just been established, Toru Watanabe is no stranger to Sound Ninja.
No one else, because in the original plot of Naruto, the Sound Ninja Village was founded by Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.
Toru Watanabe was not surprised by the establishment of the Sound Ninja Village. What really surprised him was that the time when the Sound Ninja Village was established did not match the original plot!
In the original plot, Orochimaru failed to snatch Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan and then left the Akatsuki organization.
A few years after leaving the Akatsuki organization, Orochimaru worked secretly and established the Sound Ninja Village in Tian Country.
But now Orochimaru has just defected from Konoha a few years ago, and he probably has just joined the Akatsuki organization at most.
But now Uchiha Itachi has not exterminated the Uchiha clan and defected, and he has not joined the Akatsuki organization to stimulate Orochimaru, but now why does the Sound Ninja Village suddenly appear?
Moreover, the establishment of Sound Ninja Village is such an important matter. He has checked some secret information through Zhonglian's authority in the past few days, and found no problems in this regard at all!
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't notice anything strange about Toru Watanabe, and he continued to add to Toru Watanabe:
"The Sound Ninja Village uses the eighth note as its symbol. Some time ago, the Sound Ninja Village issued a notice in an official capacity, hoping that Konoha would send people to attend the Sound Ninja founding ceremony. It is now less than a month before the Sound Ninja Village Establishment Ceremony.
I hope you will lead the team to represent Konoha at this celebration."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Watanabe Toru understood why he did not find out from the Zhonglian intelligence system that the Sound Ninja was established.
An invitation issued by the official Sound Ninja Village is not considered confidential at all, and will not be entered into Zhonglian's confidential information database.
If Toru Watanabe has been paying attention to the forum recently, he can actually find out from some posts that Oto Ninja was established. However, he has rarely browsed the forum since it went online.
Browsing forums and visiting post bars is the main form of entertainment for most ninjas nowadays, but this kind of entertainment is almost uninteresting for Toru Watanabe, who has experienced the baptism of the Internet in his previous life.
Watanabe Toru is not surprised that the Oto Ninja Village was established first and then invited to see the guests. This kind of thing is like an opening ceremony. You can't welcome the guests without cleaning the house first!
Watanabe Toru continued to exchange a few words with Sarutobi Hiruzen, who only knew so much about Oto-nin.
Watanabe Toru did not shy away from accepting the mission, attended the ceremony as an official of Konoha, and secretly gathered information. The risk factor of this mission was not only not high, but also extremely low.
No wonder Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the newly formed Team 11 to take over this mission. Even if Toru Watanabe doesn't need to lead the team, I'm afraid any jounin and Izumi Uchiha can complete this mission.
For an easy task, Watanabe Toru has no reason to refuse, not to mention, he is indeed very interested in Oto Ninja and Orochimaru.
The Oto Ninja Village, which was obviously to be established several years later, was actually established three to five years in advance.
Watanabe Toru wondered what happened to Orochimaru that made him suddenly interested in establishing a ninja village!
After leaving the Hokage's office with Gado Hirakawa, Shin Kurohashi, and Izumi Uchiha, he did not rush to train for everyone to get familiar with each other, but directly announced the disbandment.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and he didn't care about the one or two hours.
After all, if he arrives too late for training, then as a teacher, doesn’t he have to treat himself to a treat in the evening?
It is impossible to treat guests. If you want to get his love, you also need to get his money. Where in the world can such a good thing happen!
The first lesson after the establishment of Class 11 was to teach three students to refuse free prostitution!
In the surprised eyes of the young girls, Watanabe Tetsushi walked away. Before leaving, he did not forget to add three friends using Zhonglian.
Time turned to the next day, and in the training ground of Konoha Forest, three energetic figures stood straight in a row.
"Tell me why you became ninjas?"
Watanabe Toru sat on a pony and pointed at Hirakawa Gastrodia, indicating that he would start with him.
Hirakawa Tianma's eyes swept over his companions, and after his eyes stayed on Uchiha Izumi for a moment, he straightened his face and said loudly:
"Ninja is my most desired goal and the noblest profession. When I become a ninja, I want to become the strongest ninja. My wish is to become the Hokage of the village and make Konoha the greatest ninja village!"
After Hirakawa Tianma finished speaking loudly, he glanced secretly to the side again.
Kurozu Shin looked amazed, as if he was surprised by the other party's great ideals, while Uchiha Izumi did not change his expression at all.
Having been in contact with Itachi for a long time and meeting the best people, the girl has long been insensitive to her peers.
Tianma Hirakawa speaks with great momentum and has great ideals, but this does not attract her attention at all.
Seeing that Uchiha Izumi's expression did not change at all, Hirakawa Tianma's eyes clearly flashed with a trace of disappointment.
When Toru Watanabe saw this scene, he felt it was quite interesting. When he was a boy, the thoughts of boys and girls were so simple, as clear as spring water, and he could see the bottom of it at a glance.
Watanabe Toru nodded to Hirakawa Gastrodia without making any comments. No matter whether other people's ideals are lofty or not, noble or not, no one but himself is qualified to comment.
Watanabe Toru motioned to Kuroju Shin to start the introduction.
Compared with Hirakawa Gastrodia's naturalness and even a little bit of expressiveness, Heizhu Xin is obviously a little nervous.
Secretly swallowing, Heizhuxin took a deep breath and said:
"I became a ninja because my father was a ninja, and then I became a ninja..."
Hei Zhuxin's lips twitched, and he wanted to say something else, but he couldn't, but his face turned red with embarrassment.
After waiting for a few seconds, Kurozu Shin was speechless. Hirakawa Tianma grinned and obviously began to suppress a smile, while Uchiha Izumi still had no expression.
"A very true statement!"
Watanabe Toru didn't say much and turned his attention to Uchiha Izumi.
When it was her turn, Uchiha Izumi could no longer maintain Furui Muha's expression.
A blush appeared on the girl's pretty face, and she said a little embarrassedly:
"I became a ninja because I want to walk on the same path as the person I like."
Compared to Black Pillar Xin, Uchiha Izumi's answer is undoubtedly shorter.
Hearing Uchiha Izumi's words, Kurozu Shin had no reaction, but Hirakawa Tianma, who had been suppressing laughter just now, stopped laughing instantly.
Various expressions such as disbelief, doubt, and luck were instantly intertwined on the young man's face.
Watanabe Toru looked at it and shook his head secretly. Secret love is really easy to get hurt. The poor guy saved up his feelings for a day and suffered a devastating blow the next day. It was really unlucky.
"If you want to be with Itachi, you have to be willing to risk your life!"
Watanabe Toru joked, and then Uchiha Izumi's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Teacher Watanabe, you, how, how..."
The girl covered her face with her hands. Although her character was not shy, her ability to say that she wanted to walk on the same path as the person she liked before was already the limit. But when Toru Watanabe said it so straightforwardly, she suddenly felt a little hurt.
No!
When Toru Watanabe talked about Itachi, it wasn't just Izumi Uchiha who couldn't bear it. For example, Tianma Hirakawa, his face turned dark.
Originally, he could still have some luck with girls, but after Toru Watanabe spoke, all his luck and all his illusions were completely shattered.
Uchiha Izumi covered her face shyly, and Kurozu Shin only belatedly realized the meaning of the conversation between the two.
The disappointment on the shy boy's face flashed away. Who doesn't have admiration for outstanding and beautiful girls?
Izumi Uchiha is tall and well-proportioned, with beautiful long straight black hair, a pair of bright and clear eyes, and a tear mole on the corner of her right eye that is just right.
In terms of appearance alone, almost no one among girls of the same age is better than her.
No wonder the young man fell in love with her when he saw her.
Watanabe Toru laughed, causing the girl's face to return to normal, and his expression also corrected accordingly.
"Now I know the reason why you became a ninja. No matter what the reason is, the only thing that is certain is that you are now a ninja."
"As a ninja profession, if you have come this far, you should already know what a ninja is!"
"As for your abilities, I will use the infinite Internet to test you later. Now, I don't care how your previous teachers taught you, now I will train you in my own way!"
As soon as Tetsu Watanabe finished speaking, Tianma Hirakawa made a report.
"Mr. Watanabe, why do you want to use the Infinite Internet to test our strength? Isn't the Infinite Internet our enemy of Konoha?"
Watanabe Toru said calmly:
"What enemy? As we all know, there is no better way to test your strength than in actual combat in the duel field. Enemy, what is an enemy? Those who threaten your own interests and threaten your life are enemies! The enemy does not tell you who the enemy is.
Who is the enemy!"
"Ninja, you must have your own judgment and blind obedience will only make people a tool!"
"Yes, but isn't a ninja just a tool?"
Tianma Hirakawa looked confused. His previous teacher taught that ninjas should obey orders as their bounden duty. According to his previous teacher, a qualified ninja should use himself as a tool!
After hearing Gastrodia's words, Toru Watanabe was not angry. He was very clear about the village's ideological education.
If it were other ninjas, he wouldn't care no matter how brainwashed they were, but as his own student, he would not accept a tool that obeyed his instructions.
Watanabe Toru swept his eyes over the three of them and said seriously:
"No one should be born as a tool. When a person is born, he has a mind, limbs, and feelings. The first thing he has to do is to be a human being in this world."
"A person must have the ability to think independently, act independently, and judge independently. Only by becoming a human being first can you decide what you want to be in the future."
"Before you become a human being, you first treat yourself as a tool. This kind of existence is pitiful and pathetic. It is no different from an ox or a horse. It is just a human-shaped instrument."
"My students must be human beings, and I can only teach people how to behave."
Watanabe Toru's words are undoubtedly completely different from the traditional education in the village, but inexplicably, whether it is Hirakawa Gastrodia, Kurobasa Shin or Uchiha Izumi, they all feel that these words are so touching!
Who is willing to be a tool if he can be a human being?
To become ninjas, they put in so much blood, sweat and effort to gain strength. Their original intention is not to become a tool in the hands of some people!
