Volume 1--Seeds in troubled times Chapter 4--The beginning of innovation
"Before that, can you tell us the reason why your family did this? Since the first generation of lords founded Konoha, there have been three large-scale ninja wars, but you did not intervene before. Why?
Now in a relatively peaceful era, you are starting to prepare for the next war? "Although Minato believes in Hazuki, as Hokage, he needs to consider the whole village. He will definitely control things that endanger the lives and livelihoods of the villagers. And Otsutsuki
Wood, in his view, is still an uncontrollable factor.
"It's like this. It's normal for you not to trust us. After all, we have never appeared before. It's just that this time the situation is serious. Don't you think that the whole ninja world is a lot less ups and downs? In normal times, petty fights are common.
The small country is even much more stable. Although even our Otsutsuki clan cannot clearly know the details about the small country, the prophet in our family told us a few days ago that in the past twenty years, the turmoil that has occurred in the ninja world has
It will no longer be something you ninjas can bear. So the elders decided to use the gentlest method to influence and save the world." Yu Yue said without changing his face. He had long expected that these people would not be like this.
He trusted him, so he went to the elders to learn the truth, and was prepared to use this fact as a trump card. "It turned out to be useful after all," Yu Yue thought secretly.
After hearing this, Minato immediately thought of the intelligence in the past few months, all of which were calm, and he believed Hazuki in front of him.
"Then according to what you said, this child is the key to saving the world?" Minato was a little anxious. If there are ninja villages that don't abide by the rules and overturn the peace agreement without authorization, it will be easy to handle. At most, it will just be ninjas fighting each other.
There will be destruction. And what Hazuki said is that ninjas cannot resist it, so it is obviously not just a matter of a war in the ninja village.
"You can say yes, you can say no. The key point lies in its purpose. Let me say it again, Yu Ling is the seed that the elders like. Good seeds need good nutrients to grow. I am only responsible for sending him here, and the rest
It's your own business. How to save the world is up to you." Yu Yue realized that there was really not enough time, so he hurriedly finished the key points he thought, and then activated the Heaven's Control and prepared to leave
Konoha.
"Thank you, Yu..."
"By the way, tell this child that he is just an orphan who was picked up by you Konoha during the war. See you later!" Hazuki's voice rang out from the black hole, interrupting Minato's thank you again. It looked like he was really a
So impatient.
"Hey, you're in such a hurry. Why don't you stay for a meal? Not many people appreciate my cooking skills!" Kushina was a little sad on the side, and murmured with a slightly pouted mouth. She originally thought
You can catch a white mouse to taste her food. It seems that this plan has been ruined again.
"I appreciate it, I appreciate it..." Minato pulled the somewhat disappointed Kushina aside, put on a helpless but still smiling face, and coaxed her.
"Huh." Kushina looked at this good old man's face but couldn't get angry, so she could only pretend to be angry and turn away.
"Minato." The third generation also woke up, and the old voice seemed to have lost a little vitality. After this blow, the Sarutobi Hiruzen of the past will never come back. "What are you going to do with this child?"
"This is a child that the Otsutsuki family is looking forward to. There must be something unique about it. Besides, the Otsutsuki family is very powerful. I'm afraid that Konoha as a whole is no match for them, so I still follow their request and let this child think that he is an orphan.
But take good care of him. Third Generation-sama, are you willing to take care of this child?" Minato had calmed down, and while sorting out the information in his mind, he was also thinking about how to deal with this child named Yu Ling.
"Let's do this. We'll treat him with the highest configuration for a war orphan and place him next to my house. If the Third Generation is willing, I can give you the task of taking care of him." Minato thought for a moment and came up with a solution.
, and began to ask the third generation. After all, others in the village would be resistant to an outsider, and it was perfect for a former Hokage to do this potentially thankless job.
"Okay, I just found something for me to do. Fighting is no longer suitable for me." The third generation smiled mockingly to himself. Of course he knew Minato's intentions. But after all, he is also a Hokage, but now he has no fighting spirit to take care of the children.
, Hiruzen couldn't help but feel sorry for himself. He always felt dissatisfied, but his body couldn't keep up with this mentality.
"By the way, this kid's name is Yu Ling." Minato looked at the third generation who was secretly feeling sad, and added warmly.
"Yu Ling...I will definitely train you to become a strong man." After saying that, he secretly shook his head again.
"Hey, his name is Yu Ling, please give me some advice! I will be good friends with Naruto from now on!" The tall Kushina appeared at an untimely moment and smiled at Yu Ling.
…
In the blink of an eye, three full years have passed since the day when Kyuubi caused trouble, and the little Naruto who could only cry loudly at that time has grown into a cute little boy.
"Yu Ling, let's go play ninja games!"
"don't want."
"What about Sasuke?"
"don't want."
Three little boys were lying on the grass by the lake in Uchiha territory. In a wide area, only the sound of one person yelling could be heard. Yes, that was Naruto.
There is a white-haired boy on the left who looks more mature. He was wearing a white robe at a young age and playing with a real kunai in his hand. You know, this boy is only three years old.
The black-haired boy on the right is from the Uchiha clan. He is juggling a real shuriken.
These two people are Yu Ling and Sasuke. Yu Ling and Naruto have grown up together since childhood, and their parents have a very good relationship. But Sasuke is different. He is a friend that Naruto picked up from a tree.
…
"Hey, what's your name, that man on the tree?" When Naruto and Yu Ling were walking on the street, Naruto suddenly found a child sitting on the tree next to him, sleeping.
"Uchiha Sasuke." The boy on the tree said his name without even opening his eyes.
"Hey Sasuke, do you want to play with us?" Naruto was obviously familiar with himself and immediately started playing with the new kid he met.
"idiot"
"You! Sasuke is an idiot, Sasuke is an idiot!"
…
However, Yu Ling and Sasuke have one obvious thing in common, that is, they both ignore Naruto.
"Hey, you guys are all bored. You've been lying down all day. Why don't you play with me?" Upon seeing this, Naruto started to fool around in front of them again.
"Naruto! Stop making trouble, I've only been lying down for 20 minutes." Yu Ling's lazy voice came from the left side, but Naruto also suddenly shrunk. He always seemed to obey Yu Ling's words,
Maybe temperament can really make a big difference in people.
"20 minutes...but I feel like it's almost a day." Naruto felt a little aggrieved. How could he, who is naturally active, be able to lie down on the grass to rest and recuperate? Besides, with the physique of the Uzumaki clan,
Coupled with the blessing of the nine tails in his body, he also needs so-called rest. He has someone helping him regain his strength throughout the day!
"Big idiot." At this time, the dull voice coming from the right aroused Naruto's active personality again. He immediately jumped up and circled around Sasuke!
There are words in his mouth:
"Sasuke is an idiot, Sasuke is an idiot, Sasuke is an idiot, Sasuke is an idiot..."
I don’t know why, but Naruto naturally likes to fight against Sasuke, but he doesn’t care about Yu Ling’s preaching. So everyone can always see Yu Ling walking alone, but there are two dead children arguing endlessly next to him.
.
"Sasuke is a big idiot, Sasuke is a big idiot..."
"Naruto, if you like ninjas so much, why don't we go practice secretly." At this time, even Yu Ling with such a good temper couldn't stand it anymore, so he came up with this suggestion.
"Okay, okay! But what is training?" When Naruto heard it, he felt that it was a particularly remarkable thing, but racking his brains he couldn't figure out what exactly this "training" was. Although Naruto was familiar with
He was curious about many things, and would always ask about this and that, but a case of amnesia made all his efforts in vain.
"Big idiot." Sasuke's timely follow-up hit made Naruto forget what he was thinking about, so he started the legendary mouth escape mode without any worries.
"Sasuke is a big idiot, Sasuke is a big idiot..."
"Okay, Naruto. Training is to practice the skills needed to become a ninja. Do you understand? Let's try it now!" Yu Ling was still like that, teaching Naruto without changing his face. Likewise, he took the trouble.
He had explained this training alone no less than ten times. And when he and Sasuke were walking side by side to the nearby training ground, Naruto was still thinking about it.
"Well, what are skills? No, no. Well... that should be it." Suddenly, as if he understood, he raised his head and chased after the two of them.
In a few minutes, they arrived at the 31st practice field. And they also saw three thick wooden stakes standing in the middle of the practice field.
"There is a wooden stake, let's try taijutsu today." Yu Ling suggested. Sasuke glanced at him, nodded silently, and started walking towards a wooden stake. But just as he started, he had to stop.
Naruto was already punching the three logs like crazy.
But the next second there was a scream.
"Ah, smelly wood, it hurts me so much." Naruto hit the wood pile with his bare hands. How could this three-year-old body endure it? A big swelling appeared on his hand.
"Naruto, let's practice kicking first. This will cause less harm to us." Yu Ling explained calmly.
"What does harm... mean?"
This time, no one paid attention to him. The other two people were afraid that Naruto would suddenly grab the stake again, so they ran to kick his legs.
"Hey, wait for me." After saying that, Naruto also stood up and ran to the pile on the side.
Sasuke and Naruto both imitated Yu Ling, who was standing in the middle, and learned to kick in a decent manner. Yu Ling usually peeked at the training of ninjas because he had no family, so he also learned a little bit about taijutsu.
.But even if it’s just fur, it’s enough trouble for these three-year-old kids.
The three of them kicked the pile one by one, making small crackling sounds.
"Starting training at such a young age, if he wants to succeed, Naruto's drive will need Yu Ling's wisdom. No, he also needs the pressure from that Uchiha brat, hahahaha." Minato smiled cheerfully.
laugh.
"Yes, it seems that it is a good decision to let them grow up together. Right, Fugaku?" In the Hokage room, the third generation stood next to Minato, looking at the three children in the crystal ball, and then asked, sitting opposite
The current Uchiha clan leader finally showed a kind smile again.
