Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Haruno Sakura followed the crowd out of the gate of the ninja school.

In fact,

She received an invitation from Yakumo and Ino to go to karaoke. Being among the top in the cultural class does not mean that she is the kind of nerd who only knows how to read books. Even if she is not as dazzling as Yakumo and Touka, she is still a girl. Active member of the group.

In terms of care,

She would not miss this kind of pre-graduation party.

But the world does not always run steadily on a fixed track. There will always be accidents. Even when faced with an invitation to a pre-graduation party, Haruno Sakura still used the excuse of something urgent to walk in the warm spring breeze. On the way home.

Haruno Sakura's home is in the core area of ​​the village, not far from the ninja school. As long as you walk through three streets, you can see a two-story self-built house with the "Haruno" door sign in front. This is a five-story house. An old house with a history of more than ten years, the Haruno family is not as old as Uchiha and Hinata and can be traced back thousands of years, but it is also one of the many families that initially followed Senju and Uchiha to establish Konoha.

Of course, it is not as prosperous as Uchiha and Hinata. The Haruno family has always been an inconspicuous small family. It has not had any dazzling moments, but at least it has maintained the inheritance of the family name and bloodline.

Most of the houses of this generation are older, similar to the Haruno family. Although the walls have been repainted, the smooth and shiny bluestone pavement that has been trampled on still shows the mottled years, lying in the yard. The old dog inside raised his eyelids when he heard the footsteps passing by outside, and found that it was the child of the Haruno family. He closed his eyes and continued to take a nap.

along the way,

"Ah! Sakura, is school over already?"

"Didn't you go play with your classmates today? Sakura has grown up too!"

"Sakura, I heard that you are about to graduate? That's great! I don't know if that brat of ours can pass the graduation exam."

He skillfully dealt with the greetings from neighbors and acquaintances, and returned home like a sturgeon swimming upstream. He kicked off his shoes at the entrance, quickly ran back to the room, and changed into old clothes used for spiritual practice. He picked up a set of bubble-blowing tools and put them on the table, and rushed out of the door like the wind. He only left a sentence, "Mom, save dinner for me, wait for me to come back." Then he ran away without a trace. .

It’s different from the route I took when I went home.

This time,

The girl showed off the ninja's ability to climb over roofs and walls.

I took a shortcut to the training ground not far from my home. I stood under a cherry tree in the corner of the training ground, breathing heavily. It took me more than ten seconds to calm down my breathing, and then I looked up. Above, he said: "Senior, I'm here."

Among the tender early cherry blossoms, the light blue feathers swayed gently in the wind.

The young man sitting on the tree looked down at the girl below. His expression was as indifferent as a marble sculpture without flesh and blood. "Continue to practice." After the light words fell, the girl became excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood. , started practicing on the training ground.

She's practicing-

blowing bubbles.

Yes,

correct,

Haruno Sakura stood on the training ground, holding a bubble tube like a small trumpet that children play, blowing bubbles meticulously, and transparent bubbles flew out one by one towards the wooden tree not far away. The piles floated away slowly, but they exploded before they hit the wooden piles, and the crackling sound of explosions echoed on the training ground.

"Chakra output is too little."

"Yes."

"...The stability has declined again."

"Yes."

"Don't pursue speed and destructive power for the time being. Stability is the most important. Once the stability of the bubble is maintained, then slowly try to increase speed and destructive power. Don't be impatient and don't aim too high."

Although the young man sitting in the tree looked cold and unapproachable, in fact he was extremely meticulous when he was guiding the girl, and he dismantled this ninjutsu created by himself. After crushing it into pieces and telling it to the girl, all you have to do is give the girl step-by-step instructions on what to do.

In fact, at the beginning, he really gave the girl step-by-step guidance on how to master this technique.

Haruno Sakura devoted herself wholeheartedly to practice.

Absorbing the knowledge and experience with great obsession, I want to engrave it all in my heart and completely digest it and turn it into my own.

but--

so hard!

The more I want to remember all this in my heart, the more deeply anxious and impatient I feel.

She is not a genius with a photographic memory;

But she knew very well that such an opportunity did not come across casually. If she missed this opportunity, it would be difficult to have it again in the future. The courses of the Ninja School were divided into two types: cultural courses and practical training courses. Although according to the school According to school regulations, grades in both courses are equally important.

But rules are rules,

In fact, both teachers and students pay more attention to the scores in practical training courses than the scores in cultural courses.

In the past, Haruno Sakura watched famous figures such as Kurama Yakumo, Uchiha Touka, Earth Spider Hotaru, Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke show off their skills in practical training classes. Her heart was filled with envy. She had imagined countless times that she could do the same. Standing in the center of the venue, he released a dazzling light and became the center of attention.

It's a pity that the fantasy is always an unrealistic fantasy. The difficult victory over those classmates who are only at the middle level has exhausted her strength. She once competed with Kurama Yakumo once, and then lost completely, huge The gap once hit her so much that she almost gave up on becoming a ninja, but luckily she persisted in the end.

Just a month ago,

Haruno Sakura was training at this training ground and met her senior sitting on a tree blowing bubbles.

To be precise, since two months ago, she would see the senior blowing bubbles appearing near the training ground from time to time. She did not pay attention to the senior who was not wearing a ninja forehead protector to observe her practice. However, just a month ago , the senior who had been observing for a long time suddenly took the initiative to talk to her and asked her if she had any thoughts on learning ninjutsu.

And then it was like he demonstrated the ability to control bubbles in battle.

Without hesitating for too long, Haruno Sakura decisively agreed. As one of the smartest people in the cultural class, the girl had suspected that there were nails in the pies falling from the sky, but she had the desire to become stronger and dazzling. Overriding the hesitation in her heart.

However, the senior did not accept her as a disciple. He had given instructions that she liked her and was willing to teach her something. He did not intend to accept her as a disciple.

then,

She didn't dare to neglect anymore.

Not being a formal master and apprentice means that she may never find this senior whose name she doesn't even know at any time. There is always a lingering sense of urgency in her heart, which makes her dare not slack off for a moment, even after graduation. I also resolutely refused the party before, in order not to miss this golden opportunity.

Time passed by,

Watching the sun gradually set, darkness slowly enveloped the entire village.

"Okay, that's it, that's it for today." The young man sitting in the tree said.

Haruno Sakura, who was already panting from exhaustion and sweating profusely, almost lost her balance and fell to the ground when she heard this. She lowered her center of gravity in time to stabilize her body, so as not to fall flat on her back. She dragged her heavy steps to the foot of the tree. , looking up at the young man on the tree, "Senior, I will..."

"Graduation exam, right? Just go for it!"

"Yes, senior, from now on..."

"You don't have to come here to find me anymore. If you pass the graduation exam, you will be an official ninja."

"Eh?"

The girl was anxious.

"If you need to see me for anything, just go to the Kirigakure embassy."

After saying this, the young man waved his hand and signaled the girl to go home quickly. Although Haruno Sakura had a lot of questions to ask, Kirigakure embassy?Is your senpai a mist ninja?Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But for this teacher who has no official name, he really doesn't have the courage to ask questions. He can only secretly wonder in his heart whether worrying will have any impact.

She said goodbye quietly, and her back gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Immediately,

The young man turned his head and looked into the darkness on the other side, "Friends of Konoha, can you come out now?"

"I originally planned to come here to see what this class of graduates is like, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of situation... Bubbles, don't you have any objections to accepting Mizukage as your apprentice in Konoha?" Zong Xian said from He walked over in the darkness and looked at the young man with interest.

He was worried about how to arrange Naruto's third partner.

I simply left the shadow clone to work, and the main body slipped out from the Hokage Building to conduct an on-site inspection. After all, the data and information on paper could not completely show a person's entire appearance. Of course, this does not mean that a person can be identified at a casual glance. It was completely seen through, but with the power of the Samsara Eye, I guess I could see something deeper.

This is not,

The pupil power of the Samsara Eye is not needed at all.

I have seen things that are not in the report document.

"The Sixth Generation...Hokage?"

Bu Bu's face froze.

special,

I thought it was Konoha's ANBU or I bumped into a jounin who was looking for a free time, but in the end...how did I provoke Konoha's ultimate boss?He came to Konoha as the envoy of Kirigakure Village, although he never thought that he, a jinchuriki, would have the opportunity to be sent abroad as an envoy.

But the fact is that it happened,

He arrived in Konoha at the end of last year and has lived in Konoha for less than half a year.

But in such a long time, he had only met the Sixth Hokage once. This was the second time they met, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that compared to the first time they met, the Hokage's aura seemed to have changed. Becoming more... in an extremely lofty position than before.

To give an example that I don’t know is appropriate,

It felt to him like a god standing on the clouds overlooking the human world.

"There's no need to be nervous! I'm not here to cause trouble. Although you are a Mist ninja, it's a bit troublesome to accept a Konoha ninja as a disciple...but it's not a big deal. There won't be any trouble here in Konoha. No opinion, but if Mizukage has any opinion, it will be difficult for me to help you."

"It's okay!"

Bubble calmly jumped down from the tree.

Talking condescendingly to the Sixth Generation Hokage was not ordinary awkward.

It would be more comfortable to stand on the ground.

"What I handed over to that little girl was the technique I developed myself, not the knowledge in the village. According to the rules, as long as I don't teach the technique I created to the enemies of the village, I am free to pass it on to anyone. , Konoha... is not the enemy of Kirigakure Village now, so even Lord Mizukage cannot blame me harshly for this."

"A homemade technique? No wonder!"

Zongxian nodded.

"As long as you know it yourself, I'm just a little worried about unnecessary misunderstandings between Konoha and Mist Ninja. Just explain it clearly. So...how do you feel? What do you think of the child's talent? Sample?"

"It's okay!"

Bubbles replied concisely.

It was obvious that he did not intend to have too many interactions with the Hokage.

"Is it acceptable? Can you elaborate?"

Zongxian asked.

He chose to turn a blind eye to Bubble's resistance.

Bubbles' face twitched and he cursed "No" in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "Being born with water-type chakra properties is actually nothing. The real excellence lies in that child's control over chakra. , to be honest, even ordinary chuunin may not be able to control chakra as delicately as she does. In terms of chakra control, it is already at the level of the best chuunin, and that child Still making progress.”

"Although the technique I created is not yet qualified to be called a secret technique, to be honest... not everyone can master it. At that time, I just saw that the child was trying too hard, so I thought I taught her the basic water escape technique with both hands, but I didn’t expect that... she would learn the bubble technique I developed, and her talent would be even worse than mine."

Speaking of last,

Bubbles also felt a little emotional.

He really just had nothing to do. When he was sitting in a tree blowing bubbles, he saw Haruno Sakura sweating profusely on the training ground. On a whim, he struck up a conversation with the girl while she was resting and performed a bubble technique. The great thing is that the relationship between master and disciple was forged in this way.

Of course, Bubble is not really prepared to accept Haruno Sakura as his apprentice.

Teaching a Konoha child who is not yet a ninja and accepting a formal Konoha ninja as a disciple are two different things. Although with the current close relationship between Konoha and Kiri ninja, he really wants to accept a Konoha ninja as his disciple. Disciple, it may not be impossible.

But he really didn't bother to cause such trouble for himself.

Just a whim,

He didn't want this to turn into real trouble.

"After mastering my Bubble Technique, giving the child a certain amount of time, and finding a reliable Jounin to teach him, it shouldn't be difficult to become a Jounin in the future." Bubble said confidently, "But Mr. Hokage, in advance Let me declare that I will never accept a disciple. I just find that child very pleasing to my eyes, just like the cherry blossoms in spring. That's it. I have a lazy character and am not ready to break the current life."

"I don't force people to do things they don't like."

Zong Xian said with a smile.

It's a good thing that Bubble doesn't want to accept a disciple. After all, if a Konoha ninja wants to be a disciple of Mist Ninja, even if he can do it, he will definitely receive a lot of criticism, and Mist Ninja may have something to say. Thoughts, maybe he thought he was plotting against the Six-Tails Jinchuuriki!

although,

It's not like he really doesn't have any ideas.

The tailed beasts...sooner or later will have to gather together.
