Although the tone was plain, the content was shocking. Tiantian's face was full of surprise, obviously he didn't expect Linglong to think this way.
"Because of a little physical conflict, you actually want to kill a living person. With all due respect..." She turned the page slowly, and a touch of disgust appeared on Linglong's face:
"This ninja really doesn't have much to do."
Noticing that Linglong's expression at this moment was a rare expression of negative emotions, Tiantian fell silent. She didn't know what Linglong had suddenly experienced and why she said such words.
Anyway...
"Ninja is definitely not what you think..."
"Oh? What do you mean by ninja?"
"I……"
People who use ninjutsu? People who are good at patience? People who do whatever it takes to complete their tasks? Workers? Soldiers? It always feels like something is missing.
The most important thing is that those are not your own answers.
Faced with this problem, Tiantian was speechless for a moment. The twelve-year-old girl had not yet established her own tolerance. Her parents were just ordinary people and could not provide help in this regard.
"Since you don't want to be a ninja, why are you here?" Being unable to answer does not mean admitting defeat. Tiantian puffed up his cheeks and chose to take the initiative.
"Huh... I don't want to come here, but I have no choice."
As she spoke, there was a hint of self-mockery in the corner of her mouth. Linglong's reaction puzzled Tiantian, so she continued to ask: "What do your parents do? Why do they have to force you to become a ninja?"
"My father is a ninja. He is said to be quite strong. Although I have never seen him take action. As for my mother, she is probably in business, right?"
After talking to this point, Linglong was finally willing to look away, looking at Tiantian who was listening carefully, and quietly added:
"My parents naturally believed that I should be a ninja, so I came here to go to school. In this process, my opinion was not very important."
In this situation... I remembered what I heard about the order of the Ninja clan. I thought about it for a while every day, and then said, "Linglong, are you from the Ninja clan?"
"I don't even have a last name, what do you think?"
"and you……"
"My mother won't let me reveal my family background, so don't ask for details. In short..." After putting down "Enduring the World", Linglong sighed leisurely:
"Just take it one day at a time."
"Why are you hiding your family information? Is there something ulterior in your family..." Realizing that Tiantian might be thinking wrongly, Linglong stopped decisively:
"My mother said that if my teachers and classmates knew who my father was, then my studies would be meaningless and I would not be able to gain experience or gain true friendship."
"It's even possible to encounter successive assassinations."
Is it such an exaggeration...
Tiantian subconsciously widened his eyes and covered his mouth with disbelief on his face. Linglong saw her friend's expression and shrugged indifferently:
"To be honest, I don't believe it either, but that's what my mother asked for. If you don't obey, you will be beaten. What can I do?"
"Oh my God! You are a girl! Does your mother often beat you?"
"I don't always fight..."
Linglong waved her hands irritably. Linglong obviously didn't want to continue talking about this topic, but Tiantian happened to see the blood-stained bandage on her hand and quickly pulled it over to take a closer look.
"Your mother is so unreasonable! How is assassination possible? Even the Hokage-sama's son lives under the sun. Why does your mother think that... you will be in danger?"
"Does your father have more enemies than Hokage-sama?"
"Who knows..."
…
In the principal's room, the former principal, an old man over fifty years old, stood respectfully aside and gave up his seat, and the person sitting there now...
"Teacher indeed has more enemies than me."
Namikaze Minato, a middle-aged man in his thirties and currently the fifth generation Hokage, suddenly interrupted when the two girls in the crystal ball were communicating.
"Minato, you are being too modest."
A calm female voice sounded. Guanghui stood quietly next to Minato, also looking at the crystal ball on the table. Her mood did not fluctuate at all as her daughter arranged for her behind his back.
"Master's wife, I think Linglong is right. Teacher's enemies are all over the ninja world. If you count carefully, it seems that the leaders of every ninja village in the federation have enemies with him, right?"
Minato smiled bitterly. Only at this point, he had to admit that he was far inferior to his teacher. Not to mention his strength, what was more important was his character, ideals, and will.
Along the way, the teacher has killed countless enemies, and each of them is a strong man with a name. Even Ying has killed four of them, not to mention starting a unification war, and how many people died...
"A bunch of cowards are not as good as Lei Luo. If Lei Luo hadn't been away from the village all year round, he wouldn't have made such a move." Guang Hui responded calmly, as if he was simply stating something.
"Indeed." Minato replied dryly.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the two of them continued to watch Linglong and Tiantian chatting, but while the two girls were chatting, the topic went off the rails.
If the ninja questions and answers at the beginning, the subsequent family discussion, and the final parental education were all more or less serious content, then now...
"I think my dad at least started as a Ninja Emperor."
"What is Ninja Emperor?"
"Hey! Tiantian, you are so low!"
What followed was a string of difficult words, such as "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi", "It's so scary", and "Don't bully young girls into poverty", and the surroundings were suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Unfortunately, he was quickly interrupted by the teacher’s roar:
"Classmate Linglong, please stand up and answer the question!"
Silently turning off the crystal ball, Minato put one hand on his forehead, closed his eyes and meditated for a long time, and finally exhaled, and when he opened his eyes again, he realized that Mitsue's face didn't look good.
"I thought..." Each word seemed to carry a cold current, Guanghui said slowly: "No matter how bad Linglong is, there is still a limit, but looking at the current situation..."
"We must, we must let her graduate as soon as possible."
Minato nodded in agreement. To be honest, it was so comfortable to repeat a grade, as if he was like a fish in water. Linglong might be the only one in Konoha.
Absolutely, change as soon as possible.
As Lei Luo's disciple, Minato has the responsibility and obligation to think about Linglong's future, which is why he is sitting here now, observing the classroom through the crystal ball.
"Master's wife, I only found out about Linglong's grade failure last year after the fact. At that time, the deal was already done, and you and the teacher didn't come to see me, so I just..."
"Minato, I don't blame you. To be honest, I didn't care about it at the time. As for Lei Luo..." He shook his head helplessly, and when Minato showed an "I understand" expression, he said no more.
