I'm Naruto, Starting With Ashura.

"Four and a half years?"

Hatake Kakashi realizes that this time is half a year after Uchiha's extermination five years ago.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto came together less than half a year after the Uchiha genocide.

"Did you jump out of the darkness of genocide in just half a year?"

"Is it because of Uzumaki Naruto?"

People who are trapped in darkness need companions to escape from the endless darkness.

Hatake Kakashi, who had the same experience once, understands the situation very well, so he also knows exactly what Uchiha Sasuke went through in the first place.

It's just that the speed of escaping from the darkness is a little faster.

When he fell into the darkness at the beginning, he had degenerated himself for several years before breaking out of the darkness.

"Although I don't know what Uzumaki Naruto did, it's still a good thing."

Hatake Kakashi didn't know what happened, but what happened was definitely a good thing, otherwise Uchiha Sasuke would have experienced exactly the same thing as him before, or even more serious than him.

Apparently Hatake Kakashi didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

Of course, it was not just Hatake Kakashi who did not realize the seriousness of the problem, but all Jōnin and Hokage present did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

It is very dangerous to have two people who hate Konoha get together.

Especially since their usual emotions are very stable, and they don't look like the kind of people who are flammable and explosive.

Because when they will explode, I am afraid that the entire Konoha Village will be completely blown up.

And Hatake Kakashi is not the only one who has this naive idea, even Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks the same way.

"It's completely different from five years ago."

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually has special feelings for Uzumaki Naruto.

There is guilt over the deaths of Minato and Kushina.

There is also a strong desire to control the Nine Tails demon fox.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes that Uzumaki Naruto can have a sense of belonging to Konoha and go on as he envisioned.

But something happened five years ago that completely changed Uzumaki Naruto, who was still influenced by him.

Since that day, Uzumaki Naruto, who was still laughing and joking, became taciturn and even moved out of his place.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew that this had a lot to do with Shimura Danzō's guidance.

Because the villagers' complaints completely changed Uzumaki Naruto, whom he had trained before, so he had a lot of anger towards the old guy Shimura Danzō.

But even so, Sarutobi Hiruzen still suppressed this anger.

There is only one reason. Shimura Danzō is the complete opposite of him.

He knew that Shimura Danzō had done many inappropriate things, but as long as it was beneficial to the village, he could turn a blind eye.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that the matter of Uzumaki Naruto is more of a guidance accident.

After all, no one knows how the cheerful Uzumaki Naruto who was guided by him before turned around and listened to the words of a few villagers and changed his mind.

All I can say is that this was an accident.

Although there were some problems with the training plan, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw some hope when the autistic Uzumaki Naruto and the equally autistic Uchiha Sasuke came together.

It would be a good outcome if two autistic teenagers could join a group to keep warm.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he could not dye Uzumaki Naruto into his own color because of Shimura Danzō's interruption, Uzumaki Naruto would not go towards Shimura Danzō as long as there was still friendship.

Now Sarutobi Hiruzen just this result is enough.

As for the future, there will still be opportunities to train him little by little.

"It's a pity that these two children are only interested in exercise, otherwise we could make some arrangements."

Sarutobi Hiruzen actually feels that this is a pity.

After all, there are many ways to bond people, among which emotional bonds are the strongest. Friendship, family affection, and love can all become ropes to lock a person in one place.

I think it was because the bond was too deep that Hatake Sakumo finally chose to commit suicide in order not to involve his son in trouble.

Of course, in the past, Sarutobi Hiruzen just wanted to suppress Hatake Sakumo. Who knew that Hatake Sakumo actually committed suicide, which made him regret not stopping it in advance. After all, Konoha has reached the level of shadow. Running out.

The once prosperous Konoha has long since become stagnant.

The three disciples left Konoha.

Minato and Kushina died.

Hatake Sakumo committed suicide.

The only ninja in Konoha who can really stand up is an old guy like him.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen gained unprecedented rights at this moment, the entire Konoha had already been torn apart.

Now as long as any ninja village comes in, Konoha will really be unstoppable.

It is because he knows the current situation of Konoha that Sarutobi Hiruzen pays more attention to the cultivation of talents.

Uzumaki Naruto definitely needs training as Nine Tails' Jinchūriki.

Uchiha Sasuke, as the last orphan of the Uchiha clan, definitely needs to be nurtured.

So in these years Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly knew that Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke often exercised together and he did not interfere in any way, because Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that it is not easy to fool around at the age of eight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen will not do the deception that cannot be carried out and the interference that cannot be effective. After all, he is not an idiot.

It was because he knew that this method had lost its effectiveness that Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to use the bond of friendship.

"Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke will be left to you from now on."

Among all the Jōnin, Sarutobi Hiruzen still sees it very clearly, and Hatake Kakashi is the one he is most optimistic about.

As the disciple of Namikaze Minato and the son of Hatake Sakumo, his experiences resonate with those two children.

To hand those two children over to other Jōnin was either because the resonance was not enough or because the Jōnin was not strong enough.

"……Yes, I understand."

Hatake Kakashi himself knows that Uchiha Sasuke has something in common with him, and Uzumaki Naruto is the teacher's son, and he must be responsible for these two people.

On one side is the friend who saved him.

On one side is the teacher who has faith in him.

No matter where it is, he can't let it go. Rather than leaving it to others to take responsibility, it would be better to take responsibility himself.

Out of curiosity, Hatake Kakashi wanted to know who the other student in his charge was.

"Hokage-sama, then who is the other student?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly took a puff of cigarette and adjusted the distant view Technique to an ordinary girl. .

"Haruno Sakura, this is your other student."

But this arrangement made Jōnin present a little surprised.

The graduates of this year have all read the list. Haruno Sakura is also a student with very good grades in the written test, but the actual combat results are only barely readable.

As for the results of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, they have also seen that the written test results are very bad, and the actual combat results are good, but the comprehensive results are just passing.

But the people present are not fools, they all understand the meaning of Lord Third Generation's selection of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke. Obviously, Lord Third Generation attaches great importance to these two children, otherwise he will arrange for Hatake Kakashi?

What's more, the identities of these two children are unusual.

One is an orphan of the Uchiha clan, and the other is Jinchūriki of the Nine Tails demon fox.

After such a comparison, it becomes even more obvious that Haruno Sakura is mediocre.
