Konoha's journey to find eternal life

Chapter 43 The Third Generation of the Old Fox [Ask for a monthly pass! 】

"Mitsuko-kun, let's take some time to visit Nami's parents some other day."

After Liang went out to send Nami home, Keiko said to Mitsuko thoughtfully.

"We, Ryoichi, are a little too young, aren't we?"

Mitsuko never expected that Keiko would suddenly propose to visit Nami's parents.

(Note: Engagement is popular among Japanese aristocrats today, and it is very common in traditional Japanese families.)
"Our Ryoichi is already a chunin! You always tell me not to treat Ryoichi as a child, but you say he is small, hum."

Keiko's flushed little face was full of displeasure, and she complained to Photon with her mouth pouting.

"Okay, okay, can't I go with you?"

When Guangzi saw Keiko's displeased appearance, he immediately confessed.

"Aqiu..."

At the same time, on a certain street in Konoha, Ryoichi, who was held by Nami because he was afraid of the dark, suddenly sneezed.

"Ryoichi-kun, do you have a cold? Tie this up for you. Wear thicker in winter."

Nami, holding her little hand, was exceptionally quiet. Hearing Ryoichi's sneeze, she immediately took off her scarf, blushing, and shyly wrapped the scarf around Ryoichi's neck.

"No need for Nami-chan, aren't you cold?"

Ryoichi said helplessly.

Taking off the scarf, the cold wind blew into Nami's jade neck, and she could clearly see her body trembling.

"I'll be home soon, Ryoichi-kun will have a long walk to go back."

Nami shook her head sweetly, and pointed to a house with lights on in front of the alley.

What a headache, who is speaking ill of me?
Traveling to the world of Naruto for more than four years, Ryoichi has never had a cold or illness, it must not be a cold!
The body is weak and lazy to exercise, that is only compared to other ninjas.

Compared with the previous world, Ryoichi's physical fitness is not inferior to that of an athlete.

-

It snowed heavily overnight, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on Konoha's roof, dyeing the whole world white.

On the second day after the exam, Ryoichi wrote an application letter to apply for a teacher at the ninja school.

It wasn't until half a month passed that Ryoichi received a reply from the Third Hokage's summoning.

"Come on, Ryoichi!"

Before going out, Keiko adjusted Ryoichi's appearance again, and encouraged Ryoichi with a fist.

"Well, I will definitely succeed." Ryoichi nodded solemnly, but in his heart he wanted to get rid of Keiko's palm earlier.

A child with a mother is like a treasure, but the baby is also very distressed sometimes.

Konoha Twelve Xiaoqiang only has a few sets of costumes throughout the year.

Ryoichi is fine, Keiko's greatest interest is to dress him up, the cloakroom is full of his clothes, every day Keiko puts him into a different look.

At a growing age, there are many clothes that Ryoichi wears once and can't wear again.

Firehouse.

When it was dawn, there were already many people in the waiting hall.

Those who can enter the waiting room are all ninjas who have been summoned by Hokage and verified their identities.

So it is very eye-catching for the little Ryoichi to appear here.

Kinoshita Ryoichi's genius name has been passed down in Konoha for a while, but very few people have seen him in person.

Seeing the Lord today, everyone surrounded him curiously.

But their eyes were like watching monkeys, which made Ryoichi very uncomfortable.

"Morning Hokage-sama!"

Fortunately, the third generation came very early, and saved the scene in time, so that all the ninjas looked away and greeted the third generation respectfully.

"Kinoshita Ryoichi, come in with me."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Ryoichi was a little astonished, he didn't expect that the three-generation old man would be the first to see him.

That face that always had a smile on it made Ryoichi unknowingly panic.

"Old Fox!"

With a thought in his heart, he followed into the office pretending to be well-behaved and sensible.

The Hokage office scene, which has a high rate of appearance in the anime, is the same as Ryoichi's impression, with thick documents piled up on both sides of the desk.

Sandaime slowly sat down on the chair, and easily took out Ryoichi's application form from the pile of documents.

After scanning the text on the application form, Sandai cupped his fists and raised his chin, squinting his eyes and asking Ryoichi, "Why do you want to be a teacher?"

"Because of my mother's behest, I want to be a teacher like her."

The reason had already been rehearsed countless times, and Ryoichi answered it in one gulp.

"Don't be cautious, I just want to hear your real thoughts."

Unexpectedly, Sandai just smiled, not believing that this was Ryoichi's real reason.

"Ah? Hokage-sama, this is what I really think!"

Ryoichi was disturbed in his heart, but pretended to be surprised on his face, and replied innocently and straightforwardly.

There is a way to spot lies in Hokage.

But I'm just a child, you old man can't test my lie just because you doubt my purpose of being a teacher, right?

"Is it because you don't want to lose your companion again?"

Sandai asked Ryoichi sharply.

And there was a mystery hidden in his question.

The confessions of Kinoshita Ryoichi and Uchiha Temple Gold are consistent, and neither of the two children said anything they should not say.

Even the real target of the group of rebels, they tacitly did not explain.

How can the old fox not see the change of Uchiha Temple Gold?

Uchiha Terakin aggressively entered the combat department to lead the team, and the small thoughts hidden in his heart could not be hidden from the third generation.

As for Kinoshita Ryoichi's choice, in the eyes of the third generation, he is the smartest of the two!

Mingzhe protects himself and does not hesitate to give up his own future.

Is there no future for being a teacher in Konoha?

natural.

A powerful ninja must not only have sufficient strength, but also need a wealth of mission experience!

Without experience, having all the skills is nothing but a show.

"A little bit..."

Ryoichi didn't know the intention of Sandai's questioning, he just wanted to get away with it quickly, and after weighing for a while, he admitted that there was a factor of this kind of relationship.

Combat experience is really not important to Ryoichi.

Not to mention the weaknesses of big and small bosses in Naruto, he knows all about them.

It is only said that Ryoichi's real purpose is not to become stronger, but to be a passerby quietly.

Power, fame, village, strength, etc., are not all what Ryoichi pursues.

All he wants is eternal life, nothing more!

Ryoichi did not forget the hatred between Asiya and Senju Shiori, but he did not necessarily want to avenge them.

Because in the world of Naruto, there is a perverted ninjutsu that can resurrect people like "Reincarnation".

Therefore, what Ryoichi has to do is to die!
As long as he allows himself to live well, then the people he cares about will not return to ashes.

Maybe when I find the right way, I can revive them all.

"You are Konoha's hope, I don't want you to fade away."

Sandai was silent for a while, perhaps thinking of Asiya, and then spoke kindly to Ryoichi after a long time.

"Master Hokage, I will not miss out on training."

Ryoichi hurriedly replied.

Chatting with the old fox is really waste of brain cells, I have to go through every sentence several times in my mind, afraid that I will answer wrong.

Perhaps the politician has sat in the highest position, no matter what his original nature is, he thinks more about the future.

From a certain point of view, Ryoichi admired the three generations who dedicated themselves to the village.

But what happened to Asiya really made him feel bad for the third generation.

In order to get certain desired results, he can even sacrifice his own children.

"Since you strongly request, I will agree to your application and go to the school to report in a few days."

The third generation finally compromised, picked up the pen on the table, and drew a red circle on Ryoichi's application.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, for fulfilling it!"
