Chapter 406 Guiding Jonin (1)

"This year's newcomers seem to be some good seedlings."

In the lounge, with a thousand copies of Shiranui Genma in his mouth, he leaned against the loose sofa and held a book recording student information in his hand. After a quick glance, he spoke his mind.

"I wish they were more ordinary, it would make our job a lot easier."

A young woman who was also sitting with her back against the sofa rubbed her brows and said.

Yuhihong is the name of this young woman.

It is Konoha's special jonin who specializes in illusion. With long black hair and a well-matched gorgeous appearance, plus the attribute of being unmarried, she is very popular among men of the right age.

At this moment, she frowned in distress, looking at the materials of the three students in her hand, lamenting the difficulty.

"Why, even you are starting to feel tricky?"

Genma asked with a joking smile.

Before Hong could answer, an unshaven man with an uncle's face was the first to speak out: "Probably because he just became a Jnin not long ago, but they're just a bunch of brats. You just need to train Hong a little bit. There's no need to put too much burden on yourself."

Hong couldn't deny this.

Different from Xuanma and this uncle-faced man, she is not only a newly promoted Jonin, but also a special Jnin.

Compared to the real Jonin, many of her experiences are lacking.

And teaching students is also the first time in life.

Especially my three students, they are all students with extraordinary backgrounds.

Inuzuka Kiba, Yume Shino, and...Hinata Hinata.

Needless to say the first two, the ninjas of the Inuzuka clan tend to be bold and straightforward, and are easy to get in touch with. Although the ninjas of the oil girl clan like to be taciturn, they are not a difficult group to get along with.

The Hyuga Clan is different.

Hong's first impression of the Hyuga Clan is old-fashioned concepts such as tradition, rich family, aristocracy, and rules.

What's more, Hinata Hinata is still the eldest daughter of the main family.

With my own ability, can I really be competent for such a job?

Hong felt a little unconfident in her heart.

Furthermore, the field she is good at doesn't go well with these three students, no matter how you look at it?

Red didn't understand how Hokage bound himself to these three people.

The Inuzuka clan and the Yunu clan both have their own inheritance of secret arts, so it is impossible to follow her to learn illusion.

The Hyuga clan is even more extreme, with white eyes and soft fists as their signature, and it is even more impossible to learn illusion from her.

As for their respective secret techniques and blood succession boundaries, Hong felt that he knew nothing about it, and the suggestions he could offer were very meager.

Could it be...that she, a special Jonin, was specially appointed to be the exclusive nanny for the three of them?

Thinking of this, Hong slightly shook her head and smiled wryly.

At this moment, a choking smell of smoke suddenly came from her nose, and her red brows furrowed even deeper. She glared at the uncle-faced man sitting next to her with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Asma, how many times have I told you not to smoke in the room."

As she spoke, Hong gently covered her nose, somewhat disgusted with Asma's smoking behavior.

"Uh...sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

Asma saw that Hong seemed a little angry, and quickly pinched off the cigarette **** and put it in the ashtray.

"The relationship between the two is really good."

Genma said with a smile.

"What's wrong? This guy is a smoker."

Hong snorted.

"No way, family inheritance."

Asma shrugged, justifying her smoking behavior.

As he spoke, he subconsciously took out the cigarette case from his pocket again. Just as he took out half of the cigarettes, he saw the red eyes staring at him. Asma coughed and stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket embarrassingly.

This smoker... Mingming has never been so honest when he was partying with us, and he smokes wildly every time. Seeing Asma being subdued by Hong's eyes, Xuanma couldn't help complaining in his heart.

While the three of them were chatting, the door of the lounge was suddenly opened.

Kakashi, who was wearing Konoha standard Jnin uniform, walked in.

"You guys are all here."

Kakashi walked over, not unfamiliar at all.

"You are the one. You deliberately resigned from Anbu's job to do the work of us low-level people. Are you here to experience life?"

Xuanma put down the book in his hand, took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"It's just a vacation, and it's too harsh to say that I'm here to experience life. If you want, I can exchange my three students with yours, so that you can experience the feeling of being valued by the higher authorities. How about it? Do you want to exchange and try?"

Kakashi looked at Genma and said.

"No, I want to live a few more years."

Xuanjian waved his hand, lest he avoid it.

Kakashi is going to be in charge of guiding Jonin, and these colleagues have heard a little bit from Ibiki.

After all, this is not a secret. Under Ibixi's big mouth, it is not known to everyone in the Jonin community, but it has reached a similar level.

Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, either of these two is a 'troublesome' existence.

Only Kakashi can suppress these two troublesome brats.

As expected of Minister Anbu, he seems to have ample time at the moment.

Compared with the students taught by Kakashi, his students are very ordinary.

Such a mediocre mentoring career is what Xuanma looks forward to the most.

"Sitting like this is a bit boring, let's watch TV for a while."

While talking, Genma picked up the remote control next to him and turned on the TV in the lounge.

An interview program was broadcast on the TV. A beautiful girl with long black hair was accepting an exclusive interview from the TV program group with a smile on her face.

"who is this?"

Seeing the girl being interviewed on TV, Hong couldn't help being curious.

"Red, don't you know?"

Asma secretly held an unlit cigarette in her mouth.

"I don't watch TV very much, and TVs are expensive, right?"

Hong said.

"It's a bit expensive. After all, it has to be transported all the way from the ghost country, and there are few other places that sell this kind of thing. But if you want to see it, just come here for a while, anyway, you don't need to spend money yourself."

Asma's words are righteous and awe-inspiring, which proves that this is not the first time he has done this.

"Then who is this girl? Is she a celebrity somewhere? I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Hong tried her best to think.

"The great name of Snow Country, Fuka Koyuki, is said to have nearly a million fans around the world, and is the number one movie actor. It is said that when Jiraiysama was writing novels, he seemed to want to cooperate with him, but he was sternly rejected."

Asma flicked the cigarette in her mouth, and knew these things like a treasure, as if she had seen them with her own eyes.

Daimyo from one country...Starred in a movie? Or the #1 hit movie actor?

Hong patted his head, is he an old antique who can't keep up with the times?

In her opinion, a daimyo is the kind of noble person who lives in a luxurious palace, wears gorgeous clothes, and enjoys the worship of countless servants... Then, seeing the **** TV who can smile and talk with ordinary people, Hong has a new view on the group of daimyo for the first time.

"More than that, it is said that many rich people directly choose to immigrate to the Snow Country in order to chase stars, which has caused the Snow Country's fiscal revenue to continue to skyrocket in recent years."

Xuanma added from the side.

Red was speechless.

Is this the celebrity effect? It was horrible.

"By the way, I am also a big fan of Daimyo Koyuki! Every time I buy a movie ticket, I have to compete to buy the first-class seat to show my sincerity!"

Genma said proudly, as if doing this is something to be proud of.

"I want to ask, Genmsenpai, how much is the ticket for the first-class seat?"

Hong hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Let's start at about 100,000 taels. After all, there are tickets that are priceless every time. I spent 200,000 taels several times but didn't get a ticket."

Xuanma put on a proud expression of having made a lot of money.

Hong and Asma looked at Genma like they were crazy.

As for Kakashi, his eyes became strange.

Genma is Konoha's ghost, right?

The economy of the ghost country has been booming in recent years, and Xuanma is also one of the contributors to it.

Because Kakashi knew that the one behind Fuka Koyuki's backstage was the one from the Oni Land.

Thinking about it carefully, Konoha's future is really worrying.

While the three of them were watching the movie interview program on TV with relish, Kakashi remembered something and said: "By the way, Asma, Hokage-sama seems to have something to ask you, so let you go there."

"Is this the time?"

Asma took down the cigarette she was holding in her mouth.

"Yes."

"I see."

Asma exhaled, quickly stood up from the sofa, walked to Kakashi's side, and patted him on the shoulder.

Kakashi turned his head and watched Asma leave. After the other party closed the door, he turned his gaze away.

"Speaking of which, the students Asma will teach this year are..."

Xuanma asked subconsciously when he saw Asma going out.

Kakashi didn't answer, but Hong replied: "It seems to be the new generation of pig deer butterflies."

"It doesn't look like an easy job. But, what is Hokage-sama going to do with Asma at a time like this?"

Xuanma asked doubtfully.

Their students have already settled down, so there is no need to go to a second meeting. Could it be that there is a new accident?

Kakashi shrugged his shoulders, sat beside Genma and said, "Who knows, maybe it's a whisper between father and son."

"Really? But I seem to have heard that the relationship between Asma and Hokage-sama is not harmonious... This is probably a rumor."

Genma shook his head.

Kakashi and Hong didn't respond to Genma's question.

Anyway, this kind of topic is a bit sensitive, so it's better not to go too deep.

"Okay, let's talk here, the two of you, it's almost time. If you hurry up, you can just catch up with lunch."

Hong looked at the wall clock on the wall, and stood up from the sofa.

"Is it over so soon?"

Kakashi is searching for something from the ninja bag.

Although the Ninja School must have arranged the grouping of the students early, Kakashi felt that there was no rush.

Go there later to have lunch, then take a nap in the afternoon, and it is not too late to go to the ninja school.

"I don't have the confidence to do things like you, seniors. It's inevitable that I'm a little nervous when I meet students for the first time. Besides, the Hyuga clan may have to pay a visit later."

Hong sighed.

Looking at Kakashi's calm attitude like a salted fish, sometimes, she is really envious.

But the reason why the other party is so generous is because they have enough strength to support them.

As a newly promoted special Jnin, it is inevitable that she lacks confidence in this regard.

Let's talk about Xuanjian, who became a Jonin in the village a few years ago, and it's not the first time to lead a team. She has rich experience, which is not comparable to a new Jnin like her.

"Then, I wish you all the best."

With Xuanma's blessing, Hong waved her hand, turned and left the lounge.

"Is there something wrong with calling me here at this time?"

Same as in the waiting room, Asma stood in front of Sun Zhan a little casually, but the cigarette dangling from his mouth was already lit.

Based on Asma's understanding of tobacco, the air in Hokage's office was already filled with a faint smell of tobacco.

Before he came, Hirizhan must have smoked, not a lot.

"I just want to ask, do you have any opinions about the three students you are going to teach?"

Hi Zhan paused, glanced at his son Asma, and asked aloud.

"Isn't this kind of thing already decided from the beginning?"

Asma frowned.

The Sarutobi clan is a staunch ally of the three ninja clans of Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi.

As the Sarutobi clan has been in power for decades, the status of these three families has also risen with the Sarutobi clan.

A single family cannot overwhelm giants such as Uchiha and Hinata, but the influence of the three clans combined must not be ignored. When the Uchiha clan was still alive, they did not dare to provoke the three clans at will, and would only directly point the finger at the Sarutobi clan.

In order to fulfill the family covenant drawn up during the Warring States Period, the Sarutobi clan needs to rely on the power of the three clans to continue to maintain the internal balance of Konoha Ninja Village.

The pig-deer-butterfly combination of the previous generation also had a close relationship with the high-level members of the Sarutobi clan.

This time it's the turn of the new generation Inokacho, and naturally they also need a jounin from the Sarutobi clan to get along with each other and maintain this covenant.

Asma doesn't hate the feeling of being arranged by others, but he can't say he likes it either. Compared with the identities of Naruto and ninja, he sometimes hopes that he is an ordinary Konoha Jonin and doesn't need to bear the strange eyes of others.

However, there is no way to choose such a thing as birth.

So, Asma had predicted Sun Zhan's arrangement for him from the very beginning.

This is his duty.

At the same time, it is also paving the way for his future.

The Fifth Hokage will not fall on the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan, and the younger generation of the Sarutobi clan, apart from him, no one can provoke the leader.

Once Hirizhan abdicates, the interests of the Sarutobi clan will suffer.

Before that, he needs to let his second son take a step further in Konoha's power center.

Then, the support of the Zhuludie tribe is particularly important.

"well"

Seeing his second son who was still at odds with him, Ri Zhan felt miserable.

Ever since the eldest son died at the hands of Chiba Shiraishi on the battlefield of the Land of Wind, there has always been a sharp thorn in his heart, piercing his old body in agony.

There is nothing more painful than losing a child in old age.

After that, Asma, as the second son, was still stubborn, and instead confronted him everywhere.

Although after traveling for a period of time, his personality has softened, but Hirizhan understands that Asma has not given up on the original ideal in his heart.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong to entrust this generation of pig deer butterflies to Asma.

The only good news is that the Daimyo Mansion suffered heavy losses on the battlefield of the Land of Rain three years ago. Even if Asma has the ideals of the past, it is impossible to turn the tide. She can only obediently perform the duties and obligations that a Konoha ninja should have in Konoha.

"Since you have become the mentor Jonin, it is better not to go too far in some things. Otherwise, I, an old man, will not be able to explain to Lu Jiu. Do you know?"

In the end, Hirazan could only say this sentence.

"Of course I understand this kind of thing. You asked Kakashi to call me here, isn't it for this purpose? Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. Anyway, I am also a Konoha ninja. I know what I should do and what I shouldn't do."

Asma looked at her father's aged face, and simply nodded her head in agreement.

Can't see through Asma's mind, but as long as he is still Hokage, Hirizhan is not worried that Asma will do something out of the ordinary. And there is the support of the Sarutobi clan behind him. Even if there is a problem in the future, we can use the power of the family to turn the crisis into safety.

Thinking of this, Hirizhan felt that he was really getting old when he started to think about the things behind him.

"Then please, after that, go visit the three clans and get in touch with their patriarchs, it will benefit you a lot."

Ri Zhan settled this matter.

"I said..." Asma frowned, but seeing Hirizan's old face, she finally stopped talking, exhaled and said: "Forget it, since you have already arranged it, then it is useless for me to say anything now."

With such an unhappy mood, Asma left the office without looking back, leaving Ri Zhan with a rebellious back.

After staring at Asma's back for a long time, Hirizhan withdrew his gaze and fell silent.

Whether it is as Hokage or as a father, I have failed very well.

If his wife Biwako hadn't died, maybe she had enough maternal love, and Asma wouldn't have been so undisciplined in her youth, so that she became like this.

Soon, Ri Zhan packed up the loss.

As Hokage, he can't always indulge in such trance memories.

Konoha still needs him to preside over the overall situation.

He took out a letter from the drawer and said to the air in the office:

"Send this letter to Jiraiya, and ask him to make arrangements as soon as possible."

"yes."

The figure shook for a while, and the letter disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

"What are you doing, people in other groups were taken away by their instructors, why can't the instructor of our group come over?"

In a classroom of the ninja school, Naruto, who was sitting on the seat, yelled impatiently when he saw that there were only himself, Sakura, and Sasuke left in the classroom.

Looking back at the wall clock on the back wall of the classroom, the hour and minute hands are both pointing to '12', and it is already noon.

My stomach started growling.

In fact, not only Naruto, but also Sakura was a little impatient, but she, who was determined to become a lady, did not show this impatience on her face.

Regarding Naruto's yelling behavior, Sasuke, who was sitting in the corner of the class, didn't express any opinion, but stood up from his seat suddenly.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

Suddenly heard the sound of the chair sliding, Naruto looked towards Sasuke subconsciously, and was taken aback.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, even though he would be his teammate in the future, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of idiot, wouldn't he really hold him back?

So, in the face of Naruto's question, Sasuke didn't make a sound, but just quietly looked up and down Naruto, as if trying to see through him.

No matter how you look at it, the other party looks mediocre. How did he graduate?

Because of lack of information, Sasuke also doesn't know how Naruto got the ninja helmet after failing the initial graduation exam.

"Hey, what's wrong with you looking at me like this? Believe it or not, I'll beat you up?"

Naruto wiped his sleeves, snorted coldly, very displeased with Sasuke's indifferent eyes, as if looking down on him from a height.

"Naruto, what are you talking about? How could you be Sasuke-kun's opponent?"

Sakura and Sasuke stand on the same front.

Seeing the girl he admired standing with the cool guy he hates the most, Naruto suddenly felt depressed.

What's so good about this little boy?

With Sakura coming to intervene, Naruto naturally didn't dare to make random moves.

Although he believes that with the shadow clone technique, Sasuke can be easily knocked to the ground. But at this time, he can't be impulsive.

After waiting for a while, let Sakura be surprised and look at me with admiration. Naruto thought happily.

Thinking that Sakura will focus on himself at that time, Naruto's body and mind began to flutter.

"Look at this point, the other party probably won't come over for a while, I'll go out for lunch first, you two can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Sasuke put his hands in his trouser pockets, and walked past Naruto without looking back.

That cool look directly drew Sakura's gaze away, making Naruto's eyes full of envy and hatred.

This guy, why is he pretending to be cool even when he walks? What a shame!

Sasuke naturally didn't care about Naruto's inner thoughts.

He just had a bad premonition. It stands to reason that, on the premise that the rest of the instructors have come, the instructor of his group will also come, and there is no possibility of accidental omissions.

But the fact is that the students in the other groups have been picked up for more than an hour, and there is still no movement on their side.

If there is no special reason, such as an accident on the road... No, if there is an irreversible accident, someone else will definitely come to inform them and explain the situation.

So, excluding all the above speculations, it means that their guide Jonin was late due to subjective will.

And this bad style of deliberately being late to secretly observe other people's actions made Sasuke suddenly have a very familiar sense of dj vu.

I hope this is not my illusion.
