"Although their love story is enviable, their strength is also not to be underestimated. If I'm placed under their command, my strength will definitely improve rapidly!"
A boy with sunglasses, trying to appear mature, walked up to Obito and the others and said, "Hey, guys!"
Obito looked at him, "Oh, it's you, Ebisu!"
Asuma glanced at Ebisu with disdain, "Tch, a boring guy~"
Even though Asuma despised Ebisu's dull personality, he still agreed with what Ebisu said.
Feeling the impact of Asuma's disdain, Ebisu wondered where he went wrong.
Ignoring Asuma's comment, Ebisu turned to a few younger girls and asked, "Rin, Shizune, and Kurenai, if you could choose, would you prefer to be under Minato's command or Kushina's?"
"We would definitely choose Lady Kushina! She's the idol of female ninjas!"
The three girls said in unison. Ebisu nodded in agreement, expressing his admiration for Kushina. He, too, wanted to be under Kushina's command.
Obito, who was watching from the side, sneered, "Tch, if it were me, I wouldn't choose anyone. I'd choose that person."
"If we could choose, our strength would surely improve more quickly under his command."
Asuma also nodded in agreement but then revealed a somewhat regretful expression.
"I was thinking the same, but unfortunately, that person probably wouldn't take up a role as a guiding Jonin."
Hearing this, Obito felt a bit anxious. He had fantasized about becoming a disciple of that person.
"Why? Asuma?"
"Think about it, Obito. A person with such a grand presence must have been famous even before as a Leaf ninja. He's probably a ninja from an outside village."
"Even if we assume he's a Leaf ninja, he must be a secret protector of Konoha, and he's even less likely to become a squad leader."
Asuma analyzed it logically, and as the son of the Hokage, his insight was indeed commendable.
"Ah, so that's how it is." Ebisu sighed in disappointment.
"Ninja Academy, graduation assessment match, begins now. First match, Taibei vs. Kojiro!"
"It's starting, stop chatting and prepare well! Good luck, everyone!"
Hearing the voice of the assessment teacher in his ear, Rin gently spoke to everyone.
"Haha, thank you, Rin. You too, good luck!"
Ebisu grinned again, and Asuma shook his head repeatedly, finding Ebisu's behavior quite amusing.
Of course, Asahi was unaware of the conversations among the youngsters.
He walked to the side of Sarutobi Hiruzen and chatted casually. The matches had already begun.
At this moment, he and Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the forefront of the stands.
"Lord Asahi, there are quite a few promising talents among this batch of Leaf students."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and spoke to Asahi, without a hint of boasting in his tone.
In his eyes, these children were the future of Konoha, and having some geniuses among them was genuinely a cause for joy.
Asahi didn't find Sarutobi Hiruzen's behavior surprising.
Despite various theories about the Third Hokage's conspiracies and the mishandling of affairs in his later years, he did bear the weight of the title of Hokage throughout his life, tirelessly working for the sake of Konoha.
With a light laugh, he said, "Is that so? I heard about it yesterday as well. They say there are many talents among the graduates, and it's said that the son of the Hokage is also among them."
"Oh, hahaha, so Lord Asahi has heard about it too. Although my son has decent talent, there's still a considerable gap compared to the top talents in Konoha."
"Well then, I'm looking forward to seeing what outstanding qualities these talents from Konoha possess. It's a perfect opportunity for me to scout for potential disciples."
Asahi said cheerfully, not thinking that Sarutobi Hiruzen would obstruct him from taking in more disciples.
Sure enough, when Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Asahi's words, a smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, no problem. It's a rare opportunity for them to receive Lord Asahi's guidance."
"Well then, I'll observe carefully!"
At this moment, a sudden burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd, causing both Asahi and Sarutobi Hiruzen to turn their heads.
It was Tsunade. She glanced at the young girls preparing in the arena, then used Body Flicker Technique to appear beside Asahi and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Seeing Tsunade's arrival, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was just lively and animated, suddenly became less spirited.
"Tsunade, have you made up your mind?"
Tsunade's expression today was also quite solemn, leaving Asahi wondering.
Made up her mind about what?
"Ah, yes, old man, you know my situation."
Tsunade chuckled lightly, trying to break the somewhat heavy atmosphere.
"That's good then. Remember to come back and visit when you have time."
After a moment of silence, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed helplessly.
Listening to their conversation, Asahi understood the general situation.
This must be the beginning of the Sannin leaving the village.
Tsunade, afflicted with hemophobia, left the village to roam the ninja world, not even participating in the Third Great Ninja War.
Asahi didn't inquire further but changed the subject, saying, "Let's first see how these little ones perform, see if there are any suitable candidates for Tazuna Clan."
"Yes, yes, let's see how these little ones perform." Sarutobi Hiruzen also adjusted his mindset, smiling as he spoke.
It was Tsunade who was somewhat surprised when she heard Asahi's words.
"Asahi-san, didn't you just take Kushina as your disciple? Are you planning to take in more disciples now?"
Asahi smiled helplessly, "Well, I have no choice. In recent years, Tazuna Clan has secluded itself, and the number of disciples within the sect has been decreasing. If I don't take in a few more disciples, the legacy of Tazuna Clan might be lost."
Hearing Asahi's words, Tsunade laughed, "These kids from Konoha are indeed fortunate to be taken in by you."
Asahi shook his head, feeling that he had no choice. After all, why did the system give him such a mission from the beginning?
He believed that the series of missions were probably his novice benefits.
Otherwise, why, after so many years, had he not received any tasks other than disciple-related ones?
No wonder it was called the Clan Heritage System; the most important thing in a Clan was its people.
As long as you took in disciples and met System standards, it would reward you generously.
So, to live a decent life, take in more disciples and contribute more!
