Konoha's New Third Hokage

Asuna was groggy. She felt as if her body was slowly melting and becoming one with everything around her.When practicing controlling natural energy, Asuna felt like this. The feeling of boundlessness was panic-stricken, but it also gave people a feeling of omnipotence.

Regardless of anyone's chakra, it is incredibly small compared to the natural energy of the entire world. Therefore, the sage mode has always been a very dangerous power.

Asuna learned about the risks from her father early on. In this battle, she also understood how dangerous it was to introduce natural energy into the battle.However, the situation at the time had forced this approach, and Asuna never regretted it, because it was her own choice.

Although after treatment by the medical ninja, the natural energy that caused the bad reaction has been suppressed. Without the new influx of natural energy, it was slowly resolved by Asuna's own power.Even so, Asuna didn't wake up immediately. Her weak body rarely became ill. In her drowsiness, countless broken thoughts were spinning in her mind.

Hatake Sakumo sat next to the hospital bed and looked at the unconscious Asuna with a heavy heart. His mentor's daughter was in a dangerous situation. To a certain extent, it was because he failed to protect her properly.Even though he knew that it was because the battlefield was too dangerous and it couldn't be entirely attributed to him, he still felt guilty.

Hatake Sakumo used to think that Asuna was very powerful, and it was obvious to everyone else, but now looking at the pale Asuna, he felt for the first time that the opponent was not as powerful as he thought. It seemed that Asuna looked like this for the first time. Showing weakness.

——Perhaps his usual strength confused him, and he actually forgot that Asuna is just a 16-year-old girl now.

Hatake Sakumo frowned tightly. Although he knew that Asuna had passed the critical period, he could not feel at ease as long as she didn't wake up for a day.At this time, the Sunagakure Ninja Village from the outside world was still pressing closer. Coupled with the atmosphere in the camp, he felt that the situation was worse than ever.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo suddenly heard Asuna moan softly in the hospital bed, and slowly opened his eyes. He hurriedly got up from the chair, looked at Asuna nervously, and said, "Asuna, you're awake. ?”

"Sakumo-nii." Asuna was obviously not fully awake yet, looking a little dazed. She stared at Hatake Sakumo blankly and said, "How are you now?"

"It's okay, it's safe. I'll call the doctor right away." With that, Hatake Sakumo greeted the nurse at the door, and the nurse immediately called the doctor over.

The attending doctor quickly walked into the camp and began to check Asuna's physical condition. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Asuna is the daughter of the Hokage. No matter how close she is to the people, her identity is still there, and her safety is naturally the top priority. As the attending physician, he bears a very heavy responsibility.

Fortunately, now that Asuna has woken up, everything is going in the right direction. He is also sure that the special energy that caused the bad effects has completely disappeared. As long as Asuna takes careful care, Asuna's body will get better soon.

The attending physician explained the current situation to Sakumo Hatake and told him what kind of decoction to give Asuna and what to pay attention to. Sakumo Hatake wrote down each one and expressed his gratitude to the attending physician.

"You're welcome. It's our responsibility to save other people's lives, not to mention-" the attending doctor glanced at Asuna, "He is still the hero of the village."

Asuna Taka is the daughter of the Hokage, but she is on the front line with other ninjas. She does not enjoy much special treatment and fights the enemy like ordinary ninjas.No matter who they are - especially civilian ninjas - they all have admiration for him. In the previous battle, it was Hatake Sakumo and Asuna who broke out of the way and allowed others to return safely. No one has any objections to Asuna who is on the verge of death because of this.

According to the merit standards set by the Konoha Ninja Village, Asuna's contribution in this battle is enough to receive a very high evaluation.Therefore, the attending doctor called Asuna the hero of the village. This title was completely worthy of his title and no one else would have any objections.

After sending away the attending physician, Hatake Sakumo sat down on the chair again, looked at Asuna who was gradually waking up, and said, "Asuna, do you feel better?"

"Much better." Asuna nodded slightly and said, "I'm so lucky, I saved my life."

Hearing this, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but frown slightly and said to her: "Asuna, you are really taking too many risks this time. Such dangerous power should be used with caution."

"But this is the fastest way to stop losses, isn't it?" Asuna said, "With a little delay, many people can die. If you just pay some price, you can recover the losses. It's worth it."

"But you must also cherish yourself." Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but say, "In the past, ninjas advocated self-sacrifice. This cannot be said to be wrong, but you should not neglect others, especially yourself."

Asuna glanced at Hatake Sakumo. Asuna couldn't understand what Hatake Sakumo said. There were some contradictions between self-sacrifice and cherishing oneself. Having said that, in the knowledge about Ninja sect, there seemed to be some discussion about this. During the debate, she didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and said, "I'm sorry for making Brother Shuomao worried."

"It's not just me, there are others, Mizuki, Risa, and your father." Hatake Sakumo said, "Anyway, you can rest in peace and recuperate from now on, don't think about anything else, we will take care of the rest .”

"Yes." Asuna nodded obediently.

Seeing Asuna not supporting herself, Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly, got up and walked out. First, he had to prepare the soup that Asuna needed to take, and he also wanted to tell Mizuki and Risa the news. These days Here, they are also very worried.

The news of Asuna's awakening soon spread throughout the camp. The safety of the Hokage's daughter is always a big deal and no one will ignore it. Anyone who was worried about Asuna's safety immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt that it was really great. However, not everyone is happy about Asuna's safety.

This person is Uchiha Setsuna. Although he puts on a friendly appearance in front of everyone, he has never had a good impression of Masaki Fengmori, who inherited the Senju lineage, and naturally he does not care about Asuna's safety. , rather, he hoped that Asuna would just die.

After hearing that Asuna turned the corner, Uchiha Setsuna couldn't help but screamed "what a pity" in his heart, but his adopted son, the new generation of reincarnated Uchiha Ken, had no ill intentions.Although Uchiha Setsuna was subtly instilling in him hostility towards the Hokage family, Uchiha Ken was not a person without the ability to judge. He admitted that the current Hokage family was very capable, and naturally he would not be hostile to Asuna. .

Because of this, Uchiha Setsuna is also a little worried and doesn't know how to guide him. As time goes by, the Uchiha family becomes more and more content with the status quo, which makes Uchiha Setsuna, who has never been very satisfied with the current situation, become more and more anxious. .

As the Hokage type, Uchiha Kagami's influence in the family is growing, making the line that inherits Uchiha Madara's thoughts increasingly declining. Uchiha Setsuna also heard that Uchiha Kagami has never awakened the blood inheritance limit. My daughter finally awakened to the Sharingan this time. She was still in the intermediate state of two "magatama" from the beginning, and was only one step away from the full state.

Uchiha Setsuna felt that he could not continue like this and had to find a way to cause changes. It just so happened that, taking advantage of this opportunity to go out to fight, he secretly discussed with Zetsu how to solve the problem.

Zetsu told him not to worry. War is the place where accidents are most likely to happen. No matter what the situation is, it may happen. Uchiha Setsuna's wish will definitely come true in this war.

Uchiha Ken, who was valued by the two, didn't know that he was slowly being involved in the whirlpool of conspiracy. At this time, he was lamenting Asuna's awakening, and so was his teammate Fujimura Yuki, who also participated. In that battle, I have to say that Asuna was able to come back safely.

"Ken, why don't you go and see her? You and Feng Sen are also friends, right?" Fujimura Yushu said.

"We're not friends, we can only say we're familiar with each other." Ken Uchiha replied. They were in the same class as students in the Land of Rain and stayed there for two years, because he and Mizuki both belong to the Uchiha family. people, so we need to be more familiar with other people.

However, it is just familiarity, and it cannot be said that the relationship is very deep. With Uchiha Ken's character, of course he will not visit her.In this regard, Fujimura Yushu couldn't say anything. He just shrugged lightly and said, "That said, I think it is an opportunity to deepen our relationship."

"If you want to go, just go. She's not that hard to get close to." Uchiha Ken said.

"However, her appearance makes people feel that she is not that good at getting close to people. My friends all said that even if they know that the other person is a good person, they would not dare to approach easily." Yuki Fujimura held his hands in front of him and shook his head gently. .

Uchiha Ken thought for a while, and it was true that Asunako's appearance gave people too cold an impression. Even if he knew that the other party was a kind person, when facing him in person, looking at the other party's cold eyes, ordinary people really wouldn't You will definitely be able to speak with peace of mind.In response to this, he followed the example of Fujimura Yuki and shrugged, saying that he had nothing to do. That was other people's freedom, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Ken, why don't you introduce them to me? I actually want to be friends with them." Fujimura Yushu said.

"With your ability, you don't need to rely on this kind of nepotism." Uchiha Ken glanced at him and snorted softly.

Fujimura Yuki was also born as a commoner, but he had very good talent. Even Uchiha Ken had to admit his strength.As for Fujimura Yuuki's thoughts, he believed that the other party wanted to use his relationship with the Hokage's daughter to make his promotion smoother, but he felt that with Fujimura Yuuki's strength, as long as he performed seriously, he could You can definitely get promoted.

"Well, I don't deny that there are reasons for that, but I do want to be friends with her." Fujimura Yushu touched his head. For civilians, having a friend with a deep background will definitely be beneficial to the future. He did not expect to be the Fengsen family's son-in-law, as long as he could have friendship.

Moreover, Fujimura Yuki feels that he is not a complete stranger. He and Asuna actually have some blood relationship.His mother is a side sect of the Senju family, and her blood relationship with the clan is also very close. During the Senju retreat that year, many Senju clan members married commoners and were completely hidden in the family. In people's field of vision, they no longer promote the name of Thousand Hands and live as ordinary civilians.

Because of this, even if Fujimura Yushu knew that Senju's blood was flowing in his body, he did not tell anyone else about it. After Senju retired to seclusion, except for Senju Hashirama's direct lineage, the so-called Senju's name , in fact, it has little influence. Speaking of it, it will only make people slightly surprised.

Of course, this blood relationship can be said to be quite distant, no different from strangers, but Fujimura Yushu thinks that there is still a little connection, and he is somewhat optimistic.

"Since you really want to, just go by yourself. She is not really difficult to approach. However, if someone has ulterior motives, they will be blocked by the flower protector next to her." Uchiha Ken.

"Ah, the Flower Protector?" Fujimura Yushu said in surprise.

"She is the daughter of our master, Uchiha Mizuki." Takeru Uchiha said, "She is Fengmori Asuna's flower protector. A group of guys who came to show their courtesy based on her background and ulterior motives were all rejected by her. Now, Fengsen Asuna is happy to be quiet."

Then Ken Uchiha paused and said: "To be honest, it is really not easy for people of that status to become friends. If they are not in natural contact, it will easily cause resentment. Just because of her status. It’s shallow, and there aren’t many people who can come into contact with it naturally.”

Uchiha Ken has never cared about other people's backgrounds. His official contact was during his internship in the Land of Rain. The two parties have just become familiar with each other gradually, but they are not really friends. Of course, as long as Uchiha Ken is willing, he will definitely Can become friends with him.

"To put it simply, you can't do it deliberately, but you have to get in touch with it naturally, and then gradually get familiar with it and become friends, right?" Yuki Fujimura touched his chin and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Don't involve me." Uchiha said without raising his head as he adjusted his ninja tools.

"Ken, I think you should also get along with more people. It's not good to be alone all the time." Fujimura Yushu said.

"You take care of me." Uchiha Ken rolled his eyes.
