Konoha's New Third Hokage

Chapter 138
Walking over was a little boy with an immature face, who looked younger than Sakumo Hatake, at most five or six years old, with a very cold expression, obviously having a cute appearance, but it made people feel unreasonable.

Hatake Sakumo felt that this person was not easy to deal with, but since he came here, he should be a person who studied in the same discipline as himself, stepped forward and said politely: "I am Hatake Sakumo, and you should also be under Fengsen-sama's school. Did you study?"

The boy nodded slightly, staring at Sakumo Hatake with slightly narrowed eyes, and said expressionlessly: "You are Sakumo Hatake, I know you, you changed from a samurai to a ninja, but you can get the school's High evaluation from the teacher."

Although this person doesn't look so easy to get along with, he speaks very gently. Hatake Sakumo heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to make any trouble with his classmates, and smiled: "No, it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, the boy said, "However, don't think that you can be proud just like this. Ninjas are not as easy as you think."

Hatake Sakumo couldn't help being startled, he didn't expect the other party to change his attitude all of a sudden, which caught him off guard, but he quickly replied with a smile: "I didn't mean that, how to become an excellent ninja, I will There is still a lot to learn.”

"Hmph, I hope so." After the other party said this, he announced his name: "My name is Hattori Heizo, please give me more advice in the future."

When Hatake Sakumo heard this name, he immediately remembered the background of the Konoha family that he had inquired about from his father. The Hattori family was one of the ninja clans that joined Konoha Ninja Village in the early days. The lesser category, the reason is very simple, because they have always adhered to the ancient tradition.

In the beginning, the tasks performed by ninjas were generally assassinations. If it was not necessary, they would never appear in front of everyone. In the late Warring States period, the conflicts between ninja families intensified. Originally, only one person was hired to deal with others. The entire family is hired by the local nobles, and in order to deal with the ninja family, the local nobles on the other side must also hire ninja families of the same size.It was from this time that the battles among ninja families became the norm. While maintaining the ninja's stealthy actions, they began to put on armor and pick up samurai swords to confront the enemy head-on.

But the Hattori family is different. The ninjas they cultivated only accept the task of assassination and do not confront any ninja family. In order to ensure the success rate of assassination, the training of family members starts from an early age. The death rate is very high. Therefore, even if the Hattori family, like other ninja families, allows adult men to marry multiple women and produce offspring, very few people can survive.

But because of this, the ninjas from the Hattori family are all one-in-a-thousand assassins, which are very rare in the atmosphere of the late Warring States period. Perhaps their frontal combat effectiveness is not as good as those who started large-scale battles and changed traditional combat methods to a certain extent. Ninja family, but the level of assassination is even higher than them.

However, the Hattori family also had to change their way of life in the face of the new era, so they joined Konoha Ninja Village and began to live in the village openly, but their internal training has not stopped, and their assassination level is still top-notch.

During the first ninja battle, ninjas from the Hattori family assassinated important leaders of the enemy samurai army or some enemy commanders in the ninja battlefield more than once, with remarkable achievements.However, the loss was equally heavy. It is said that there are only less than five family members left in the abdomen family, which is already sparse in number.

Hattori Heizo also studied in the ninja school, but because he was in a different class, Hatake Sakumo never met him, but I heard that Hattori Heizo practiced with other people, and the winner was often determined in one breath , just like the tradition of the Hattori family, if you can't assassinate the target in a short time, you will fall into a tight siege and die, so you must exercise quick and ruthless skills.

It is said that in the ninja school, Hattori Heizo hoped to hone his head-on confrontation ability on the basis of retaining his own traditions. His elders fought in the ninja world because of their inability to face-to-face combat. Once exposed, they would be killed. .It's just that no one in his class seems to be able to support their family's traditional methods, and head-to-head confrontation has never been mentioned.

When he realized this, Hatake Sakumo suddenly had a creepy feeling, because he recalled the positions of the two sides just now. If Hattori Heizo was hostile, even if he knew, could he avoid his sudden attack? , the result is uncertain.

——Sure enough, those who can be selected as Mr. Fumori's students are not simple people.

Hatake Sakumo sighed in his heart, and said with a smile, "Please give me your advice."

Hattori Heizo seems to be not used to it. The Hattori family belongs to a very traditional ninja family. It is their normal style to be cautious in their words and deeds. Because of this, they are more stubborn in some places and cannot understand the non-traditional ones. One set, like Sakumo Hatake who was transferred from a samurai family, feels unpleasant.

"The other person hasn't come yet, do you know who it might be?" Hattori Heizo asked.

"I don't know, the teacher at the school didn't say that, what about you?" Hatake Sakumo replied.

"No." Hattori Heizo shook his head, "But if one person is you, then the other person should not be too far behind in terms of strength. After all, we still have important responsibilities."

"It's the Chunin exam. Master Hokage plans to let the five ninja villages jointly hold it. We seem to be trained as candidates to appear in the competition." Hatake Saku said.

"Well, so we stayed in the school for more than a year, and we were directly graduated and sent to the school of a big man like Master Fengsen. According to the school's predetermined system, even if we have the corresponding strength, we must complete the cultural courses in school. After graduation, it is said that this was also proposed by Master Fumori, in my opinion, it is not necessary, what is the use of learning that kind of thing." Hattori Heizo said.

"Really?" Sakumo Hatake didn't deny it. In the ninja school, the civilians first learn to read and write, and those who are already literate learn literature. There are many contents in it, from the history of the country, The origin of samurai and ninja, folk culture, etc. are all involved. In his opinion, these contents are quite interesting. Of course, people like Hattori Heizo who think it is meaningless account for the majority, but under the promotion of the school, these All must be learned.

The two were waiting in the practice field. Hatake Sakumo wanted to communicate more, but Hattori Heizo was not such a talkative person. Except for some expressive or necessary things, he kept silent at other times. Speaking, Hatake Sakumo tried to guide the topic, but soon there was nothing to say.

When the atmosphere on both sides was a bit awkward, the third person finally came. It was a little girl with blond hair. The ninja family, at least Hattori Heizo's own family does not have this level.

"Ah, the two of you are Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizo, the outstanding talents selected by Fumori." The blonde girl said the names of the two at once, Hatake Sakumo and Hattori Heizo looked at each other, This proves that she can get information from some kind of channel. You must know that they don't even know who they are.

More importantly, the other party directly called Fengsen Masaki Fengsen,
"Yes, I am Sakumo Hatake, and he is Heizo Hattori." Sakumo Hatake introduced each other.

"I am Tsunade, please give me your advice." Tsunade put his hands on his waist lightly and said generously.

"Please give me more advice." Hatake Sakumo was a little happy in his heart. The bright and cheerful Tsunade was in sharp contrast to Hattori Heizo, a boring gourd. Therefore, he still had a good impression of Tsunade.

"Is that so, you are the princess of the Senju family." Hattori Heizo heard this, but showed a hint of surprise.

"The one from the Senju family is the one who established Konoha Ninja Village..." Hatake Sakumo glanced at Tsunade in surprise when he heard that. He knew the Senju family, but he didn't know the details of the Senju family. Only the Hattori family who joined Konoha Ninja Village at the beginning knew who the direct granddaughter of the first Hokage was.

"Well, my grandfather is the generation of Hokage Senju Hashirama." Tsunade put his hands behind his back and smiled, "However, don't feel nervous, we will be companions in the future, just be natural."

Having said that, it will always be stressful to study with the princess of the Senju family. They will all come to study, in other words, Feng Mori Masaki's ability is very outstanding, and he is very trusted by the second generation of Hokage.

Therefore, the three big figures who will resonate in the ninja world in the future will meet at this moment, but now they are just children who know nothing, preparing for the upcoming career of the same school, communicating with each other, and deepening each other's impression.
