Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"Okay! Big brother, you say it and I listen!"

Kirabi raised his little head stubbornly.

He is just that kind of person who refuses to accept defeat.

"First of all, Kirabi, do you know the difference between our Hidden Cloud Village and other villages?"

"This is easy, because we are on the sea and they are on the mainland, so their disputes cannot affect us!"

"Yes, but it's more than that."

Ai narrowed his eyes: "More importantly... we are independent of the balance of the continent."

"The most important thing is not to let the balance between those countries be disrupted."

Although the terrain is superior and far away from the disputes on the mainland, the Hidden Cloud Village always has deep concerns about Konoha.

Because... a long, long time ago.

A battle between two powerful men once broke out on the continent.

Those two strong men were called Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

There was nothing wrong with these two people competing against each other.

But the problem was that the Kingdom of Thunder at that time also ambitiously wanted to lead a large army to invade the continent.

A large number of troops were assembled and ready to set off at any time on the shore.

That night was a clear night, and the Land of Lightning was preparing to launch an attack, wanting to shock the ninja world.

On that day, the leader of the Thunder Kingdom led his army to assemble and was giving a speech when suddenly an ominous flash of light flashed from the other side of the sea.

Then an energy bomb flew over from the other side like a stone skipping on water!

Boom!

"what--!"

The large army that the Lightning Country had assembled with great difficulty was destroyed just like that!

The battle is over before it even begins...

The remnants of the Thunder Nation at that time were instantly frightened after seeing the horrific pit.

At the same time, the strategy was immediately changed.

The original offensive strategy turned into a contraction strategy.

With these two strong men there, what's the point of fighting?

This situation finally ended when the news of the deaths of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha was learned.

And now, the booming Konoha has put a lot of pressure on other ninja villages!

If there was another Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha...

Is that okay?

Although the Hidden Cloud Village does not understand the potential of Konoha's younger generation as well as the Hidden Mist Village, the information they have received from all sides has made them aware of the danger.

"So that's how it is... Now I can understand it if you put it this way."

Kirabi lowered his head in disappointment.

"It turns out that Big Brother was forced to cooperate with them because we are not strong enough..."

"In that case."

As expected, I still need to have a good talk with Xiao Ba.

Kirabi already had a vague idea in his mind.

……

Konoha Village.

It's as peaceful here as usual.

"..."

At this moment, the Third Hokage was in a daze in the office.

He looked so worried that he didn't even notice someone pushing the door open.

He was an ordinary-looking Chunin.

After he pushed the door open, he was stunned for a moment, then he knocked on the door.

"Hokage-sama?"

"Hokage-sama?"

After shouting twice, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally responded.

"what?"

He was like a demented old man who suddenly came to his senses and looked at the ninja who had just entered in confusion.

"I'm sorry, I just thought I didn't hear you, what's wrong?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had his usual gentle smile on his face.

But it's a bit reluctant.

"This is today's mission completion record. You need to take a look at it."

Although the Chunin felt somewhat reluctant, he still handed over the document in silence.

"Oh, yes, it's time to check the mission records..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the notebook, then squinted his eyes, trying hard to see the contents clearly.

"Well...everyone has done a good job on their tasks recently."

"Yes, there have been quite a few outstanding talents recently."

"The mission completion rate has also become very high. Everyone is very active in accepting missions. Because of the victory in the war, many mission orders have been assigned to us."

"Haha...Is that so? It seems that Orochimaru did a good job."

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally regained some energy, a smile spread across his face, and he began to read the documents carefully.

"Uh-huh?"

After flipping through a few pages, Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped and suddenly saw a name that appeared frequently.

"Namikaze Minato."

He looked up: "I remember him, this kid seemed to be..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Jiraiya's disciple, the first place in the last Chunin Exam, very powerful!"

The Chunin nodded repeatedly in reply.

This is also the reason why he had to let Sarutobi Hiruzen see this mission manual.

A talented ninja like this should have made great achievements on the battlefield.

But for unknown reasons.

I can only complete tasks frantically in the village.

He felt it was very unfair.

However, he didn't know whether this was an order from the top, so he wanted to bypass these people and take advantage of this opportunity to report to the Third Hokage and let him make the decision.

Now the reaction of the Third Hokage gave him hope!

"Ha ha……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not a fool. He had already guessed something after seeing his reaction.

"Such an outstanding young man should indeed be trained well."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, but it's strange. Orochimaru-sama has led his troops in three major battles, and he is not on the list."

"Ok?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused: "Why?"

"I don't know either. He's obviously a very good person, and his performance is very impressive. He has good character, and many ninjas praise him."

"He is always eager to help others. I think he has the will of fire."

"Um……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the cigarette and took a few puffs, regaining some energy.

"It's really strange, wait..."

He suddenly thought of something and frowned, "Go call Men Yan and Xiao Chun over and tell them I have something to ask them."

"Yes!"

The Chunin left with a smile on his face.

Not long after, the duo of Konoha consultants arrived as promised.

"Sarutobi, this boy alone is of course no problem, but he and that Jinchūriki are lovers. If he dies on the battlefield, the Jinchūriki will most likely go berserk!"

Utane Koharu's reaction was very intense.

"Just imagine, if the Nine-Tails went berserk in Konoha..."

"Is that right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a somewhat conflicted expression.

On the one hand, he knew his advisor was right.

But on the other hand, he really couldn't bear to see such a talented young man being buried just for this reason.

"Open your eyes, Sarutobi."

Because Mitomon En is old, he speaks in a much calmer manner.

"Besides him, Konoha has many other geniuses. Instead of focusing on him, why not look at the others? Let's not talk about the commoners. The Uchiha clan has produced several talents recently. And there's also the Senju Nawaki, whose Wood Release has also begun to show its potential."

"But……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly.

"He can fly Thunder God..."

After these words were spoken, Utane Koharu and Mitomon En fell silent.

Flying Thunder God Jutsu was a ninjutsu that was once taught by their teacher, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
