The moment Shiratori stepped into the gate of Konoha, he felt as if he was in another world.
After graduating from the Academy, other people's children would look for cats and dogs and pick up trash, but when it came to him…
Now, he has finally returned to the village and received a letter of recommendation to become a Jonin. It can be said that he has skipped the normal ninja career of being a Genin or a Chunin.
His experience is very strange; his first mission in life was to face an ambush by the Village Hidden in the Mist assassination team, killing three enemies, and then he was thrown into the vigorous defense battle on the southeast front…
Shiratori and the others followed the three Jonin, Shibi Aburame, Suiten Sarutobi, and Choza Akimichi, walked straight through Konoha, and headed straight for the Hokage building.
Along the way, Shiratori discovered that the impact of the Shinobi World War on Konoha was not as great as he had imagined. It was still as lively as before, but there were fewer smiles on people's faces.
Konoha is not an ordinary town but a ninja village.
Not counting those ninja families, even ordinary civilian families, there is a high probability that there will be ninjas among their family members and friends who are currently stationed on the front lines.
What's more, in the previous battles, even if Konoha won a phased victory, it still inevitably caused the sacrifice of a large number of ninjas.
They are parents, children, family members, friends…
"Come in."
Shiratori, who fell behind everyone, was the last one to walk into the Hokage's office. As soon as he entered the room, he looked around curiously and finally fixed his eyes on the slightly thin figure behind the desk.
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi was not as old as Shiratori had imagined. He was in his fifties, which was the end of the golden age for ninjas. His beard and hair had not yet turned white, and the title of professor could still terrify the Shinobi World…
Well, the word terrify is indeed a bit exaggerated. Otherwise, there would not have been so many wars during his tenure as Hokage.
"Thank you for your hard work… I didn't expect that a simple transportation mission would cause you to be involved in the Shinobi World War against your will."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took the mission report handed over by Shibi and spoke to the people in front of him.
"Hokage, you are too kind. Protecting Konoha is the responsibility and obligation of Konoha ninjas. This is what we should do."
Shibi Aburame straightened his chest. Apart from Asuma, who was dismissive of his father's words, even Shiratori had a determined look on his face.
Don't worry about what you think in your heart; just express your feelings with your eyes like everyone else.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at everyone with admiration and finally met Shiratori's eyes.
Shiratori quickly lowered his head.
"Little guy, you must be Shiratori Uchiha."
Whatever you fear will come true!
Shiratori really didn't want to have any interaction with the third Hokage and originally wanted to leave quickly after completing the task, but he didn't expect that he couldn't escape after all.
"Yes, Hokage-sama." Shiratori looked up, his expression somewhat flattered, mixed with the innocence of a child.
These were all learned during his childhood in the Uchiha Clan's territory!
If Setsuna was here, he would definitely sigh: He pretends to be quite human!
Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard and smiled kindly.
This Uchiha seems a little different. It's hard to imagine that he was taught by Setsuna Uchiha… Well, find a chance to arrange for him to be in the Anbu.
"Shiratori…"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed: "You look a lot like an old friend of mine!"
"Old friend? Who are you talking about, Hokage-sama?" Shiratori looked so innocent and cute; he could hardly stand his hypocritical look.
Asuma stared at Shiratori from the side, his expression twisted and his worldview shattered.
No, man… Did you get upset on the battlefield? Was it because you failed to stop the shark-faced Kirigakure ninja in the final battle?
"It's Kagami Uchiha. Have you heard of this name, Shiratori?"
The scene that caused Asuma to collapse is still going on here.
"It turns out to be Kagami-senpai!"
Shiratori suddenly realized something and said in surprise: "Kagami-senpai has always been my goal! I also want to become a great ninja like him."
Shiratori looks smiling on the outside but is actually laughing on the inside.
I also look like Kagami Uchiha… The third Hokage probably doesn't know that my old man has always secretly said that I look like Madara Uchiha!
Isn't it scary?
The two foxes, one old and one young, chatted for a few more meaningless words, and Shibi also found an opportunity to hand over the letter of recommendation jointly signed by him and Torifu Akimichi, recommending Shiratori to become a Jonin.
Asuma's expression became even more devastated…
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had received the news a long time ago, was not surprised but said that because Shiratori was too young, he still needed to think about the matter carefully.
After a long period of questioning about the situation on the front line, when Shiratori could no longer maintain the fake smile on his face, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally finished his questions and signaled everyone to go back and have a good rest.
Shiratori and others retreated, but Suiten Sarutobi stayed.
"Suiten?"
Looking at his eldest son, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little confused.
"Father, I want to return to the Anbu instead of leading the team… leading the team I'm not very good at it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a long time and finally sighed.
The first time he leads the team, one of his teammates dies, and even an entire Jonin team is wiped out because of his decision… There was a big problem with Suiten Sarutobi's mentality.
"Okay… By the way, what do you think of this little guy, Shiratori Uchiha?"
"Very good, worthy of the title of genius. He had the strength of a Jonin before he was ten years old."
"It's not about strength, I mean… Forget it; go back and have a good rest."
… … …
In the corridor of the Hokage building.
"Hey, Shiratori."
"Speak."
"Hehehe, it's like this…"
Asuma showed a malicious expression: "The way you pretended in front of my Dad… Can you show it to me again!"
Shiratori turned his head and gave Asuma a smile that made his hair stand on end. "Do you want to be beaten? The kind that you would get beaten three times a day."
Asuma: "…"
It's great that you can fight!
Shiratori was walking and chatting with his friends. When he turned a corner, he ran into a handsome ninja with blond hair.
"Huh? Minato?"
The person who came was Minato Namikaze.
"Shibi and Choza? Long time no see." Minato Namikaze's smile was warm and sunny, and he was completely different from the one on the battlefield.
"I heard that you were very active in the battle with the Village Hidden in the Cloud! Even Jiraiya-sama was overshadowed by you!"
"No, no…"
Minato Namikaze waved his hand: "By the way, Hokage-sama is still waiting for me. I heard that he has some mission for me… I'll go over there first."
"Okay, let's get together sometime."
Shiratori only withdrew his gaze when Minato Namikaze's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
That is the legendary Minato Namikaze…
Shibi and Choza were still chatting.
"Minato is so busy! He just got back from the battlefield and has another mission."
"Yeah… Maybe it's because he's so strong, unlike us, so he doesn't don't have time to rest."
"What if Minato's mission requires us to join him?"
"Uh… It shouldn't be?"
… … …
Minato Namikaze pushed the door open, entered the Hokage's office, and greeted Suiten Sarutobi, who was about to leave.
"I'm so sorry, Minato. You just got back to the village, and I have a mission already for you."
"It's alright, Hokage-sama."
Minato took over the mission information: "This is…"
"Have you heard of this place?" Hiruzen Sarutobi crossed his fingers and looked deep.
"Rōran?"
"That's right, Rōran."
