Konoha: This Sasuke is not too cold

"Sas gave disappearing No. 20 days, I miss him"

In class, Naruto held his chin with one hand and looked out the window listlessly.

It's been a long time since he last saw his best friend at the barbecue restaurant.

He asked Hinata and the answer he received was that Sasuke was traveling and would not be back soon.

"I'm so envious! I really want to travel..."

On days when he couldn't sneak attack Sasuke, Naruto always felt like something was missing. Of course, the main reason was... he was bored.

Without Sasuke, he couldn't find anyone to compete with, and he had nothing to do after school every day, which was really boring.

"Snapped!"

Three chalk heads flew out, and the exquisite shuriken skills made people applaud.

Shikamaru, Naruto, and Kiba each received a blow on the head.

"You three, cheer up!" Iruka's angry voice echoed in the classroom.

"Yes, yes," Shikamaru yawned, lifted his head from the table, and steeled himself to look at the blackboard.

Naruto turned his head mechanically, facing the blackboard in front of him, and continued to be in a daze.

As for Inuzuka Kiba, he hasn't woken up yet...

Feeling Iruka's gaze, Akamaru jumped off Kiba's head, stretched out his claws and patted Kiba's cheek continuously.

Looking at Ya who raised his head in confusion, Akamaru couldn't help but let out a low "Woo".

Life is not easy, Dog sighs.

"dong dong dong"

At this time, the classroom door was suddenly knocked.

Iruka opened the classroom door strangely.

Seeing the person coming, Iruka couldn't help but be startled, and quickly walked out of the classroom and closed the door.

"Sandaime-sama, why are you here free?" Iruka asked softly, but his eyes were directed at the child next to Sandaime.

"Iruka, this child's name is Sai, and I will leave it to you from now on."

With a kind smile on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen touched the head of the child next to him, and then said to Iruka.

"No problem" Iruka gave Sai a gentle smile.

Sai looked at Iruka without any fluctuations in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed slightly and said "Sorry."

"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, Iruka." The Sandaime smiled as he watched Iruka take Sai into the classroom, then he stopped smiling and turned around to leave.

"Okay, I want to introduce a new classmate to you." Iruka clapped his hands, making the noisy classroom instantly quiet.

In the classroom, the students' eyes were attracted to Sai.

"Sakura, you are a very handsome boy!" Ino touched her best friend beside her with her elbow and whispered.

"Yes, yes, I saw it." Sakura nodded helplessly.

"Well, he seems to be another troublesome guy." Shikamaru yawned, glanced at the expressionless Sai, and looked away.

Shino pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, so no one could see his expression clearly.

"Sai, please introduce yourself" Iruka encouraged.

"My name is Sai, please take good care of me in the future."

Sai's words were simple and clear, with a slight fake smile on his face. He had practiced this move all night, but the effect was average.

Sai's smile looks very formulaic, but how can most children understand this, so it has little impact.

"Okay, Saoi-san, you can sit in that seat."

Iruka pointed to the window seat in the first row and said to Sai with a smile.

That was originally Sasuke's seat, but Sasuke didn't want to sit there after he dropped out of school.

After all, who would want to sit in the front row except the top academics?

Of course, Iruka was not a devil. He was simply afraid that his new classmates would not be able to keep up with their studies, so he chose a good position for him.

"Thank you, Mr. Iruka." Sai said his thanks politely before walking to his seat.

The color of what he saw and heard locked onto Zuo Jing, and a feeling of being spied on spread from Zuo Jing's heart.

He looked around the classroom with some doubts, but found nothing wrong, and quietly sat back down in his seat.

In the last row, Hinata frowned, and her sense of sight told her that this person had impure intentions.

Sitting in his seat, warm sunlight poured into the classroom, listening to the voice of Iruka's lecture, and the low voices from around him from time to time, making Sai feel a little dazed.

Sai, an orphan adopted by the Roots, was trained as a ninja since he was a child.

Sayi has an older brother named Nobu, who can be said to be the person who has the greatest influence on Sayi.

Sai was once kind and simple. When he was forced to fight his brother, his brother planned to let Sai kill him, but he failed because he was seriously ill and could not support his body.

In order to let his brother live a good life, he told his brother to forget his feelings, so Sai became what he is now.

It can be said that the current situation of Sai is directly related to his brother's words before his death.

Saoi didn't really come to school to attend classes, but came with a mission.

Yesterday, Hiruzen Sarutobi went to the Roots and took away Sai after a roundabout. Sai's identity changed from a candidate member of the Roots to a candidate member of the ANBU, and he was also the only candidate member of the ANBU.

After all, Anbu does not have a ninja training base like Genbu. The ninjas in Anbu are all selected from the village's elite.

The first task that Sayi got after joining ANBU was... to go to school and become friends with everyone in the class.

This task confused Sai. The task in his mind was different, but Sai was very satisfied with the task.

Moreover, the always amiable Sandaime left a good impression on Sayi.

Of course, Sai would not understand what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.

In more than a year, this group of ninja students will graduate, so Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally has to plan Naruto's future path in advance.

According to the original plan, the Sandaime, Naruto's best teammate in the future, had already been arranged.

Uchiha Sasuke, the orphan of the Uchiha clan.

Haruno Sakura, an outstanding child among civilian ninjas, and Naruto's crush.

Uzumaki Naruto, the son of the Fourth Generation, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

The leader of the team, Kakashi Hatake, has a Sharingan, which can prevent the Nine-Tails to a certain extent, and can also guide Sasuke on the practice of Sharingan.

Sasuke and Naruto, who are both orphans, may form a bond, allowing the two unstable factors to check and balance each other.

This is the most perfect team combination in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Sasuke dropped out of school, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had to find a replacement.

The substitutes first excluded the children of various ninja families. Naruto, as a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, had a special status and was not suitable for contact with people from the ninja family.

But among this generation of civilian ninjas, there was no one who satisfied the third generation, so Sarutobi Hiruzen went to the roots and chose Saai.

The reason is also very simple. He is talented, handsome, he is an orphan, and he comes from a clean background. It is perfect.

Thus, the candidate to replace Uchiha Sasuke was decided.
