75: Uchiha Obito

The next day.

　　Sakumo went to the Hokage Building alone.

　　The members of the original Sakumo team will be alone, because starting from today, he will be assigned new companions by Hokage to form a new Sakumo team to perform tasks.

　　Walking to the door of the office, Sakumo gently knocked on the door, and after the sound of 'come in' came from inside, Sakumo came in from the outside and closed the door by the way.

　　"Lord Hokage."

　　"Come in, Sakumo."

　　Sakumo, who is in his prime, has completely restrained his aura. If he is not wearing a ninja costume, he will be standing here like an ordinary person.

　　He couldn't feel the sharp aura he should have as Konoha White Fang.

　　The three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded secretly. Among the many Jonin in Konoha today, Sakumo is indeed unique.

　　Whether it is the genius Jonin of the new generation, or the ninja of the same generation, his sharpness cannot be compared.

　　In this way, the pressure around him will also be reduced a lot.

　　Nowadays, all kinds of businessmen and foreign officials who come to Konoha to entrust tasks will ask Sakumo to take their tasks by name, which shows his reputation and trust.

　　"I'm sorry, the original Sakumo team needs to be disbanded."

　　"I've been prepared for this from the day I led them. They're all great ninjas on their own."

　　Sakumo said.

　　Hiruzen agrees with Sakumo's view.

　　Since the establishment of the Sakumo Squad, there have been countless S-rank and A-rank missions completed.

　　The only medical ninja in the team is not to mention, after all, he is not a fighter, and the other two are from wealthy families.

　　Splitting up the Sakumo team was also a matter of many considerations.

　　The most important thing is the attitude of Uchiha and Hyuga.

　　"I want to ask, what will they plan next?"

　　Sakumo still asked this question with concern.

　　"Hyuga Ayane will serve as the guard of the next patriarch of the Hyuga clan, and Uchiha Ruri will be selected into the Uchiha Guard and become a sub-captain of the guard. As for Chiba Shiraishi, I plan to arrange for him to work at Konoha Hospital. Or he went to the ninja school as a teaching assistant, since Tsunade said that his theoretical knowledge was very solid. During the training period, he did not make any common-sense mistakes, and he was an excellent medical ninja."

　　Due to the vigorous cultivation of medical ninjas in recent years, Konoha's current medical ninjas are twice as many as during the Second Ninja World War a few years ago.

　　However, Konoha is one of the five major ninja villages, and there are a lot of ninjas. Even if the number of medical ninjas is doubled on the original basis, it will not be able to take care of all aspects.

　　So now Ninja School and Konoha Hospital lack medical ninjas.

　　"Really? I heard that Tsunade is now teaching at the ninja school..."

　　"Yeah." Having said this, Hiruzen's eyes flashed a sullen look, as if it was a pity, and then he packed up his mood and said: "There is just a lack of a deputy for Tsunade, so he can be dispatched."

　　Sakumo smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Ruri and Ayane he was not too worried about, but he was more concerned about Shiraishi's next direction.

　　Working in a ninja school or Konoha hospital, basically his life can be stabilized, and there will be no danger.

　　As for whether there is any political factor, Sakumo doesn't want to think about these troublesome things.

　　He himself lacks interest in political matters, how to improve his strength, protect his companions, and how to complete the task perfectly, these are the things he has to consider.

　　"This is a member of your new team, see if it fits."

　　Hiruzen put the information materials of the other three members of the new team on the table, Sakumo went to pick it up, and quickly scanned it with his eyes.

　　"No problem, Perception Ninja, the medical ninja, as well as the jōnin who assists in the battle, are not much different from before. "

　　"As long as you agree, I don't know why these days, I feel that my physical condition is getting worse and worse. With the team you lead, you can share a lot of pressure with me."

　　Hiruzen laughed like this.

　　"Lord Hokage is joking, you are not yet fifty years old."

　　"It's coming soon. And I sit here all day to work, and I can only go out to practice ninjutsu occasionally. I don't know if my strength has declined."

　　Hiruzen is very melancholy.

　　"You are a ninjutsu professor, and the Hokage that Konoha trusts."

　　"Haha, don't worry, I can still support this position before handing over this position to the next generation of Hokage."

　　Hiruzen also knew that after a ninja turned fifty, he would basically go downhill.

　　In addition, he followed the second-generation Hokage to fight outside in the early years, and he also had a lot of old injuries. Recently, he felt more and more powerless.

　　It is indeed time to think about the next generation of Hokage.

　　In another two or three years, the ceremony to elect Hokage candidates will take place. Hiruzen thought to himself.

　　As for whom to entrust the position of the fourth Hokage, Hiruzen didn't think about it.

　　Mainly because there are too many choices.

　　White Fang, Sannin, and the new generation also have many excellent Jonin, and each of them has the qualifications to compete for Hokage.

　　They are all excellent ninjas who can inherit the will of fire.

　　This is the suffering called happiness.

　　Thinking of this, Hiruzen felt the weight on his shoulders was a lot lighter.

　　◎

　　Hyuga clan.

　　In the corridor of the huge courtyard, people walked on it.

　　At the forefront of the team was Hyuga Hiashi, the next head of the Hyuga family, followed by a man and a woman.

　　The man is in his twenties, with a peaceful face. He is an extremely outstanding Jōnin from the Hyuga family. As the guard of the next head of the family, Hiashi, he keeps this mission in mind.

　　The woman next to her was still in her teens, wearing a white kimono ninja outfit. She was also a Jonin from the Hyuga clan. Like the man, as an elite guard of Hiashi, she protected his safety.

　　The girl is Ayane.

　　After finishing the training mission of Sakumo Squad, it is natural to follow the arrangement and command of the family.

　　It was decided from the beginning that she would become Hiashi's bodyguard.

　　Keeping in mind the mission of protecting the clan is also a duty that she must perform.

　　Although the overall strength of the Hyuga family is inferior to that of the Uchiha family, in terms of strict family rules, it is unmatched by Uchiha.

　　"You two can just wait here next."

　　"Yes."

　　Ayane bowed slightly to the man and distanced herself from Hiashi.

　　On the road ahead, only Hiashi stepped out.

　　At the end, there is a young girl in a kimono, waiting for Hiashi.

　　There is no forehead guard on her forehead, nothing to cover, but there is also no engraving of 'bird in a cage'.

　　Although it is not the main line of the clan, it is also a branch of the clan, whose identity and status are far from being comparable to those who are separated from the clan.

　　"It seems that it is not far from the time when Lord Hiashi takes over as the head of the family."

　　The male Hyuga Jonin sighed softly.

　　"How to say?"

　　"This time is a blind date ceremony. After getting married, Lord Hiashi will soon become the head of the family... This is also the tradition of the clan."

　　"Senior Winter is familiar with this process."

　　Ayane laughed.

　　Hyuga Winter is the name of this Hinata Shinobi.

　　He is a ninja of the previous generation of Ayane, and in terms of talent, he is definitely not weak to her existence, and his use of white eyes and soft fists surpasses most of the Hyuga family.

　　In addition, as a branch of the family, he has a good spirit of sacrificing for the clan at any time, so he was selected as one of the guards of Hiashi.

　　Separation and separation are also different.

　　Most branch ninjas will not be taught the soft boxing that is the core of the Hyuga clan, such as many of the derivative moves of the soft boxing, and the 'Revolving Heaven', which can be called absolute defense.

　　They are all advanced moves that only a clan ninja can learn.

　　Ayane and Toukami were given the qualifications to study so that they could better protect Hiashi, the head of the clan.

　　"It's nothing. By the way, I heard that you performed extremely well under the command of Sakumo Jonin before. You are already a Jonin at a young age. It's really amazing."

　　Toukami said with a smile.

　　It is rare to become a Jōnin at the age of teens, and it is rare within the Hyuga clan, which is full of talented people.

　　Not to mention being a woman.

　　"I'm exhausted. I often have to complete some difficult tasks. I almost died several times. I don't want to experience that kind of life again. It's still a clean life in the family."

　　For Ayane's complaint, Toukami Jonin agreed.

　　Although three years have passed since the Second Ninja World War, the ninjas still have to work in peacetime.

　　Especially for elite squads like the Sakumo squad, the missions they take are at least A rank.

　　"But you have to be a little more careful, don't get too involved with foreigners, especially emotional matters. Unlike Uchiha, Hyuga will not let women marry outside, even if it is someone else's proposal. Not to mention, you are still the guardian of Lord Hiashi, this position is very important."

　　Winter said meaningfully.

　　"What do you mean?"

　　Ayane tilted her head and glanced at Toukami Jonin.

　　"It doesn't make any sense, it's just a member of the branch. I don't want an excellent Jonin like you to be left out by the elders."

　　Winter Jonin let out a sigh.

　　"I do not understand."

　　"You are a smart person, you must understand what I mean. Don't do any superfluous things. Your every move will be seen by the elders. This is the bloodline limit family. For this family, the branch of the family does not need to keep anything secret. As Hiashi-sama's bodyguards, our lives are different from those of the split ninjas."

　　Seeing that Ayane was unclear, Toukami Jonin gave a wry smile.

　　"..."

　　Ayane fell silent.

　　"My life has been arranged by the elders. My wife is a woman from a family that I didn't know at all before, and she got married in a hurry under that circumstance. Because this is the safest way. The same is true for your future life, don't try to resist, The power of the Hyuga clan is not something you can resist. Apart from this, you can enjoy a lot of benefits that the branch ninjas can't get."

　　"Should I thank those empathetic elders? Even the future has been carefully arranged for me."

　　Ayane said with a smile, there was no anger on her face, or even any unwillingness.

　　In the pure white pupils, there is only the most simple smile.

　　"Only in this way will the bloodline of the Hyuga family remain pure. Our white eyes are very noble lineages of blood, and genetically, we are of a different class from those civilian ninjas. I don't want to hear the news of your death one day. "

　　Winter Kamijin looked up at the blue sky, where a flock of birds flew freely, showing a faint smile.

　　Wanting to be a free-flying bird... what a luxurious wish.

　　"Don't worry, Toukami-senpai, I will fulfill the mission of the Hyuga Ninja."

　　Ayane gave a convincing gentle smile.

　　"You really are a terrible woman."

　　Glancing at Ayane's beautiful smile, there was nothing but a smile, and Toukami couldn't help but say these words.

　　No, I have absolutely no idea what she was thinking.

　　Monster? Vigilance was born in the heart of Toukami Jonin.

　　Working with such a monster woman, you can't relax for a moment.

　　◎

　　After the blind date ceremony was over, Hiashi let out a long breath after returning to his residence.

　　Fatigue immediately came to my mind.

　　The practice of soft boxing and white eyes, but also to learn how to manage the family, and now it is necessary to increase the relationship with a woman who has never met before.

　　He has already had everything arranged for him except bedtime.

　　For the first time, he felt that the position of patriarch was not a good one.

　　"It's good to be here..."

　　He muttered to himself.

　　Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Hizashi for a long time.

　　But when he thought of the eyes when Hizashi was looking at him now, indifference, awe, and hatred... Hiashi's mood became complicated.

　　He really hoped that he could return to the carefree days when he was a child, and the way his brother looked at himself was with the respect and love for a brother, not the way he looked at strangers.

　　From the moment the caged bird was planted, the fates of the two brothers were completely different.

　　One is the superior clan, and the other is the branch that is dominated by the clan.

　　Once the person is marked for separation, then no matter how many children there are in the future, they will be marked for separation.

　　Only the descendants of the clan can become the clan, and some of them are at risk of becoming part of the branch.

　　This has also led to the fact that the number of clans is very small, and the number of people who are separated is increasing.

　　Thinking of this, Hiashi felt even more tired.

　　"If there is no family separation system, then Hizashi..."

　　But this is just his personal emotion.

　　The will of the family will not be changed by his own will.

　　The fate of the split family, the fate of the clan family, has been decided from the beginning, and no one can shake it.

　　"Please don't say that, Lord Hiashi. It is our duty to protect the clan. Sooner or later, Lord Hizashi, he will understand the kindness of Lord Hiashi."

　　Hyuga Winter comforts Hiashi.

　　In his eyes, Hiashi is not the indifferent young master in the eyes of outsiders, he also has his own soft and kind side.

　　But in the face of the righteousness of the family, he could only choose to be ruthless.

　　If he followed such a person, Hyuga Winter felt that he would have no regrets in his life.

　　The treatment of separation will also be a little better.

　　"Senior Winter, it's too cruel to say that, Lord Hiashi is just out of the love of his elder brother for his younger brother."

　　Ayane said with a smile.

　　Winter glanced at Ayane, and said in a calm tone, "Sir Hiashi is the future of Hyuga, our destiny has already been determined, and the fate of Lord Hizashi is also destined. As a separated family, we only need to protect Lord Hiashi. Enough is enough, there should be no remaining thoughts."

　　"Winter, don't blame Ayane, I'm just complaining occasionally."

　　Hiashi defends Ayane.

　　"Yes."

　　Touma respectfully stepped aside, but kept his eyes on Ayane.

　　This woman is too dangerous, and Lord Hiashi seems to trust her very much. Winter narrowed his eyes.

　　To be honest, he didn't want to work with Ayane.

　　Such a woman who can't even guess what's in her mind is fortunately controlled by a caged bird.

　　Otherwise, it would not be a good thing for the Hyuga clan and Konoha.

　　"Lord Hiashi, how do you feel about your future wife?"

　　"She's a good woman."

　　But it's also too rigid and boring, like a delicate doll. Hiashi added this sentence in his heart.

　　Every move is full of norms, although it is not deliberately made, but she has decided to transform into such a gentle and gentle woman.

　　The smile is also full of tenderness from the heart, but Hiashi couldn't be interested in such a woman.

　　His mother, the housemaids, including the future wife, were all such templates.

　　It's like a delicate product produced in a factory.

　　But there is only one exception here.

　　That's Ayane.

　　Beneath that gentle exterior is an incomparably strong and complete personality that has never been wiped out by the strict clan rules.

　　Hiashi could feel the difference between Ayane and those women.

　　On a level, she is no longer a rigid and serious Hyuga clan.

　　What has she been through in the past to make such a transformation happen?

　　What kind of person will she marry in the future?

　　I don't know why, but I've always been concerned about this kind of thing lately.

　　◎

　　"After finishing the heavy task, I still returned to this familiar place..."

　　Standing at the gate of the ninja school, Shiraishi didn't know what to complain about.

　　When he was in the Sakumo team, he occasionally passed by the ninja school, but since graduating, it was the first time he officially stepped into this place.

　　But that's fine. Compared to the hospital, the job at the ninja school will be relatively easier.

　　The only headache is to pay attention to the bear children in the school.

　　"What's the matter, boy, you have come to this place, are you scared?"

　　Ridiculing laughter came from behind.

　　Shiraishi turned around, scratched his head and said, "No such thing, Tsunade-sensei, I'm just thinking about how to get along with my lovely juniors."

　　"It's good to have this idea."

　　Tsunade came up and patted Shiraishi on the shoulder, he was much stronger and taller than before.

　　As for Tsunade's change, Shiraishi just felt that her breasts seemed to have grown again.

　　Too massive.

　　As expected of Jonin.

　　Although he didn't understand the inevitable relationship between big breasts and Jonin, Shiraishi still thought so.

　　"Don't worry, this is not the Longtan Tiger's Den. It is much safer to work here than at Sakumo's."

　　Tsunade still recognized Shiraishi's medical knowledge very much.

　　He still has deficiencies in many aspects, but as long as his knowledge reserves pass the test and his experience is rich enough, he is very suitable to be her deputy and teach those novices.

　　"Yes, I am very satisfied with the job."

　　Shiraishi nodded.

　　But to tell the truth, there is no danger in the Sakumo team, because every mission is completed very quickly, and every time the other three encounter an enemy, they go up to kill each other. He only needs to wave the flag and shout, and the battle will be gorgeous. ended.

　　"Come with me."

　　Tsunade led the way in front, and the direction to go is still clearly remembered in Shiraishi's memory.

　　It was to go to the class where he learned medical knowledge.

　　The experimental class has gone through several sessions now.

　　Really looking forward to it, young and lovely juniors.

　　The class time of the medical ninja training experimental class, in order to avoid conflicts with the main class, is still after three o'clock in the afternoon and ends at more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

　　In the graduation examination, the passing score will be lowered for the students in the experimental class, and there are usual subsidies.

　　There are more students in the class than Shiraishi's original class, nearly 40 people. It seems that the importance of medical ninjas has been vigorously promoted internally in recent years, and many subsidies have been added, and there are still many results.

　　There are mostly girls and only a few boys.

　　The boys and girls looked at the boy next to Tsunade very curiously and guessed who it was.

　　"This is your senior, Chiba Shiraishi, who was one of my students a long time ago. Now he is cooperating with me in my work. Everyone is welcome."

　　After Tsunade finished speaking, the students below applauded.

　　Shiraishi also nodded to be friendly, showing what a senior should look like.

　　Next, is the official class time.

　　Compared with the past, Tsunade's teaching method is more breakthrough, and many problems can be analyzed to the point.

　　And the students here are also convinced of Tsunade, and their attitude towards learning is much more serious than the students in Shiraishi's class.

　　Tsunade was tired of talking, so he let Shiraishi continue. Shiraishi, who has a wealth of knowledge reserves, got used to it, and he could almost keep up with Tsunade's rhythm.

　　The experiment can also cooperate with Tsunade, so that Tsunade can't pick out many thorns.

　　This kid has also grown a lot. If he is here, maybe he can be lazy and go to the casino and wine bar... Thinking of this, Tsunade smiled.

　　It was indeed the right choice to dig this kid from Sakumo.

　　The perfect tool man.

　　"Really, this is only the first day, have you dumped all the work on me?"

　　After class, looking at Tsunade in the seat next to him, who had disappeared, Shiraishi sighed, not knowing what to say.

　　"Well, Shiraishi-senpai, can I ask some questions?"

　　After everyone left, a girl came to her side, with shoulder-length dark brown hair and a gentle smile, looking very cute.

　　"No problem."

　　Shiraishi readily agreed to the other party's request and asked the other party to sit next to him to discuss medical knowledge that she did not understand.

　　Just as he was about to speak, a roar suddenly came from outside the classroom door:

　　"What are you trying to do to Rin! It's so close, damn it, look at the trick!"

　　As he said that, he rushed towards Shiraishi viciously.

　　Shiraishi immediately turned to the side, and the other party flew over his head gorgeously, sticking to the opposite wall.

　　His roar stopped abruptly, and he slid off the wall.

　　"Obito!?"

　　The girl Rin recognized the identity of the boy who attacked Shiraishi, it was her classmate Obito, and ran over in a panic to see if he was okay.

　　"Are you OK?"

　　"Haha, no, it's fine. There's nothing wrong with this little injury. Look how strong I am? This little thing is fine!"

　　As he said that, he immediately blushed and jumped up from the ground, doing a very exaggerated stretching exercise there, saying that he had nothing to do.

　　"This classmate, did you just want to perform how to be a gecko? Although it's the end of class, you have to be careful."

　　Shiraishi came over and looked at the boy with a headache.

　　There is the bear child who often makes teachers difficult when he is in school.

　　"Hmph, don't think I don't know your background, you are the Shiraishi who 'eats soft rice' in our Uchiha, right?"

　　The other party seemed to want to shame Shiraishi.

　　Shiraishi nodded: "Yes, I did eat it."

　　Huh? Admit it? Without hesitation?

　　Is this something to be proud of?

　　Can't continue with the conversation.

　　"When a woman is willing to raise this man, don't you think this is also a man's ability?"

　　Shiraishi said.

　　Obito was speechless and wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to refute.

　　"Speaking of which, you just said 'our Uchiha'... Are you from Uchiha too?"

　　"Of course, didn't you see the logo on the back of my dress?"

　　"I didn't see it. Maybe you pretended to be an Uchiha and secretly drew it."

　　Obito's anger is about to erupt.

　　Aims his fist again.

　　Shiraishi turned his body sideways, leaving Obito lying on the ground with his butt upside down.

　　"Eating soft rice... You are really despicable! You set a trap under my feet!"

　　"Obito, you slipped and fell yourself, and it has nothing to do with Shiraishi-senpai."

　　Rin came over and became helpless towards Obito.

　　"..."

　　Shiraishi looked a little speechless at this scene.

　　This guy...is he really from Uchiha?

　　Ruri's clan?

　　No doubt, this is a real idiot.
