Konoha's Approval System

In the Hokage building, Sandai sat behind the desk, smoking a pipe and listening to Asuma's report on the first team's operations.

Of course, Asma kept her promise and only told the important information, without explaining the details.

After listening to this, Sandai looked at his son who was covered in bruises and nodded with satisfaction.Regardless of his physical condition, Asma reported the information to him as soon as possible after returning to the village, which surprised him.

"Asuma, your information is indeed important to the village. Thank you for your hard work. However, I am very concerned about some things you said. You said that as the first class of genin, you eliminated Kumogakure's ANBU."

Sandai vomited and looked at Asuma suspiciously.

A proud expression appeared on Asuma's face, and he put his hands into his pants pockets: "Yes, that's it. I encountered difficulties in the battle, and it was Funagao Minami and Shisui who took action."

He was about to say "I was saved", but he suddenly felt that one captain was not as strong as the two team members, and he felt a little embarrassed about it.

So he changed his words and said: "He helped me. After a hard battle, we all destroyed each other. How about our first class, isn't it very powerful?"

The third generation was noncommittal about Asuma's words. He spit out a circle and said, "It is actually a very stupid decision for three genin to confront the ANBU from outside the village. Asma, as a leader, you should think carefully before taking action. , the lives of your companions, and whether the mission is successful or not, you have to take these factors into consideration, and these are all things within your responsibility."

The sudden splash of cold water made the pride on Asma's face disappear, replaced by more ridicule.

"So many ninjas lost their companions' lives, died during the execution of missions, and there were so many fundamentally wrong missions. Old man, do you, the Hokage, have to bear the responsibility for all of this?"

The sharp words were very harsh, making Sandai's eyes become fierce, but in an instant, he regained his calmness.

He put the pipe on the table and his tone became stiff: "Asma, of course I will be responsible for what you said. But too many times, for the benefit of the village, some sacrifices are unavoidable. As a ninja, , we must be prepared to die generously for the village and our beliefs at any time, and pass on hope. This is the so-called will of fire. This is the same for all ninjas, even for me, when necessary, sacrifice It’s all necessary.”

Asuma's face became serious, her eyes met with her father's, and the air in the whole room seemed to freeze.

Tuk Tuk Tuk

There was a knock on the closed door, and Sandai coughed, his voice obviously hoarse: "Come in."

An ANBU wearing an evil ghost mask walked in: "Hokage-sama, summon me over, what's the matter?"

The third generation pointed at Asuma and said: "Asma passed back important information. The Kingdom of Thunder has moved its hands and feet on the border and wants to provoke a war between Konoha and Sunagakure. I hope you can go over and find out in detail. Speed ​​​​be quick"

The ANBU nodded slightly, took off his mask, and smiled at Asuma: "Asuma, it seems that you are going to become a ninja in your own right."

Asuma looked at the ANBU's face, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Brother Hire, you actually became an ANBU."

Sarutobi Hiroyuki patted Asuma on the shoulder: "Looking at the scars all over your body, it seems that you have experienced a big battle. Okay, I'm going to carry out the mission. I have to work hard, my brother. ."

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiretsu put on his mask, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared.

After his brother left, Asuma turned to the third generation and said: "Old man, I'm not very interested in the will of fire you talked about. You know this. All I want to prove is that I, Asuma, am a qualified ninja. , not the son of Hokage as people say."

"One day you will see it"

Asma left a harsh word and left the office.

Looking at Asma's leaving figure, Sandai sighed and reached out to rub his temples: "One day you will understand what I mean."

Three days later, Konoha Hospital.

Chuan Yuenan sat on the hospital bed in a daze, looking at the scenery in the yard in a daze.The words Orochimaru left were still echoing in his mind.

The last time he was able to escape, it was because of the Great Ninja War, and Orochimaru had no time to care about himself.However, this time bomb is bound to explode. He really doesn't want to be someone else's pawn and be manipulated by others.

Since returning to the village, he has been thinking about how to get rid of Orochimaru, but he has found nothing.Facing a cunning and ruthless strong man like Orochimaru, now that I can't fight and fight, and can't escape, there is really nothing I can do.

The only hope is to make a surprise attack and use the soul peeling technique to kill Orochimaru instantly.Can I really do it with my current strength? How big is the strength gap between myself and Orochimaru? To what extent do I need to improve to get rid of this disaster?

There are no answers to these tough questions.

In his memory, Orochimaru was indeed defeated by the greatly enhanced Sasuke, but Funan Yuenan also understood deeply that the reason why Sasuke was able to succeed was because Orochimaru lost his hands at that time, and the technique of reincarnation appeared. In the case of backlash, Orochimaru needs medicine to maintain his body's health, and his strength has been greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Chuan Yuenan suddenly had an idea and came up with an idea.

"Yes, you can imprison his hands first," Chuan Yuenan exclaimed in his heart.

In his memory, Orochimaru's powerful ninjutsu was inseparable from the release of seals on his hands. If his hands were disabled, it would cost him half his life.

With his own soul-stripping technique, it might be difficult to sneak attack Orochimaru, but he was still confident in dealing with his two-handed ship Yuenan, and a plan was immediately formed in his mind.

After thinking of countermeasures, the gloom in Chuanyuenan's heart was swept away, and his mood suddenly improved.

At this time, Asma, who was on crutches, suddenly walked into Chuanyuenan's ward. His whole body was wrapped in bandages, leaving only his eyes and mouth, like a mummy.

Sitting next to Chuanyue Nan, Asma said: "I have reported to the old man the matter that Yunyin framed him. I have also kept our promise, and I have not said anything that I shouldn't have said. Now, turn The time has come for you to keep my secret."

Chuan Yuenan frowned. He couldn't think of any secrets he held about Asma, so he asked, "Captain Asma, I don't know your secrets, and I don't have to keep them secret for you."

Asma's expression changed, reminding Chuan Yuenan: "Why did you forget? When you were fighting Arumo, I didn't smoke a cigarette."

Funanyuenan patted his forehead: "Oh, so that's it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. After all, the Hokage will know."

"Lord Hokage, it has nothing to do with him." Asuma waved his hand and said, "You just need to keep it a secret. As for why, you don't need to ask."

At this moment, a girl's voice came from the corridor of the ward: "Asma, Asma, where are you?"

After Asma heard the greeting, she jumped up from the bed like a spring and arranged her hospital gown. At this time, the girl's figure had appeared at the door.

The boat jumped south and took a closer look. It was a red sunset.

Asuma gave up her crutches, tried her best to look normal, and followed Yuhi Kurenai out.

Seeing their disappearing figures, Chuanyuenan Gu Ying sighed in self-pity.
