Section 2 The Future of Konoha
"Sasuke，today is your first day of class. Listen to the teacher." Mother said like this. Father and brother had already gone out. He had to go alone. He had never been there before. Sasuke responded absent-mindedly. "Mom, I'm leaving!" Without waiting for his mother to respond, Sasuke had already run out of the door. "This child... I don't know if he listened just now." Mother said with a wry smile and walked into the house.
Is this... the place where I will go to school? Looking at some children who were led into the school gate by their parents and were still crying, Sasuke curled his lips in disdain. It doesn't seem so good. It's not as good as the orphanage. The children there are not so weak! "Look down on them?"
Sasuke was startled and quickly turned around. There was an old man wearing a cool hat with a "fire" character on it. That dress was also good and handsome. But it was really a waste for an old man to wear it! Cut, I hate this stinky old man! Looking at the old man, Sasuke stood there, neither admitting nor denying. But the old man said on his own: "Looking at things for a while is unreliable. What can stand the test of time is the most precious. No matter what, nothing can avoid this rule."
"Really? Are these people reliable? It would be good if they can support their own weight!" Sasuke sarcastically pointed at a fat child with a runny nose who was lying on the ground crying and clinging to the trouser leg of his equally fat father and refusing to leave.
"Maybe not now, but who knows in the future?" The old man said cheerfully.
"Humph!" Sasuke turned his head aside with a look of disdain. The old man saw it and smiled slightly. He walked up to the crying child. The child's father saw the old man, his face changed slightly, and he smiled awkwardly. "Lord Hokage, why are you here? You are being laughed at." Beside him, Sasuke was shocked. The Third Hokage is such an ordinary old man? No way?
"Chouji, stand up quickly and say hello to Lord Hokage. Are you going to lose all the face of the Akimichi clan?" In front of Lord Hokage, he couldn't be like usual anymore. He had to show his father's dignity. At most, give him more barbecue when he goes back. The man thought like this. Chouji was startled by his father and stood up. He was still crying. "What's so good about this school? Except for Shikamaru, they all look down on me and laugh at me for being fat. That's plump! It's plump! You can't eat in class. I don't want to go in. I won't go in even if I die." Plump? Oh my god, is that how the Akimichi clan uses adjectives? A big drop of sweat appeared on Sasuke's head. The Third Hokage shouted: "Chouji Harashima! Don't frighten the child."
"Ah? Yes!" Who did I offend?
"Chouji, are you and Shikamaru friends?" The Third Hokage asked with a kind smile.
"Um, he is my best and only friend." When it came to Shikamaru, Chouji stopped crying. He happily introduced his friend to the Third Hokage. The Third Hokage listened patiently. They were all trivial matters, but Chouji said them happily. Happiness was written all over his face. It was hard to imagine. The Third Hokage listened with a kind smile on his face and nodded occasionally to affirm. Chouji became even more excited. He simply took out a bag of potato chips that appeared from nowhere and ate while talking. Sasuke and Akimichi Harashima's faces became more and more ugly. Just when they were about to explode, Chouji finished speaking. Sasuke and Akimichi Harashima looked at the still kind and smiling Third Hokage with admiration. Awesome! As expected of the Hokage. There is a reason for becoming the Hokage.
"Chouji, this Shikamaru has helped you a lot!" The Third Hokage said with a kind smile.
"Um!" Chouji nodded vigorously, as if afraid that others wouldn't know how good Shikamaru was. Alas, with so much fat, it's really hard for him to nod his head so flexibly.
"Then, Chouji..." The Third Hokage suddenly became serious. "What have you done to help Shikamaru?"
"Ah?" Chouji was stunned. His chubby face flushed red. He stammered, "No... nothing." Ashamed, he lowered his head and ate potato chips vigorously, trying to relieve the awkward mood with food. But the Third Hokage didn't let him go and continued to ask: "Then do you want to help him?" Chouji suddenly stopped the cycle of moving his hand between his mouth and the bag of potato chips. He froze there. Suddenly, he raised his head. His eyes were red. It seemed that he was about to cry again. "I... I want to help him! I have always wanted to help him! But..."
"But you don't have the ability?" Sasuke suddenly interrupted. When the Third Hokage heard this, he showed an approving smile. This child is really sensitive! He already knows what I want to do. Guidance from peers is more effective! And when Chouji heard this, he raised his head angrily. His small eyes widened and stared directly at Sasuke. Sasuke stared back at him without showing any weakness. Chouji stared for a long time and then lowered his head in frustration. "That's right... I don't have... I don't have that ability." The tears that had been swirling in his eyes finally flowed down. Suddenly, Sasuke snorted coldly. "I think you don't lack ability at all. Instead, you lack sincerity!" Chouji was furious and roared: "You can doubt anything about me, but you must never doubt me on this matter!!!"
"Oh? Really? You do lack ability now, or you haven't discovered your ability yet. But you give up looking for it! Give up learning! Give up all opportunities to help Shikamaru! Just like now! You don't even dare to enter the school gate! You can't even endure learning the ability to help Shikamaru in the face of others' ridicule! How can others believe you!" The more Sasuke said, the angrier he became. Yes, he was envious. He saw his own shadow in Chouji. He couldn't bear Chouji's cowardice when he was secretly called a monster. Chouji still had Shikamaru, but what about himself? No. But this guy Chouji is still so ungrateful while living in happiness! I really want to beat him up! Damn it! Angrily, he ran into the school gate. Ignore him! Go find the classroom.
The Third Hokage and Harashima looked at each other. They couldn't imagine that this little devil would say such thought-provoking words and become angrier and angrier.
"Dad..." Chouji raised his head.
"Hmm?"
"I think I know what to do!" Chouji didn't wait for his father to respond and ran into the school gate.
"This child... finally understands..." Harashima said with relief. The Third Hokage comfortingly patted his shoulder.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————I am the legendary dividing line!
As Sasuke walked, he gradually calmed down. What's going on? Why did I get so angry so easily? Suddenly, a man came out from around the corner and bumped into Sasuke who was walking with his head down. "Ah"
"Are you okay?" The man asked with concern. The warm voice echoed in Sasuke's ears. Sasuke shook his head at him and observed this somewhat careless man. (Little Soul: "It's you who are careless! You don't look ahead when you walk!" Sasuke took out a kunai and said coldly: "I am a child. I have privileges! Do you have any objections?" "Hehe... hehe... No objections. Absolutely no objections!" Little Soul wiped the cold sweat.) Well, he is a ninja. There is a long scar on the bridge of his nose. His hair is tied up high. A worried look appears on his honest face. It seems that he is a nice guy.
After getting a reassuring answer, the worried look disappeared from that ordinary face. It seemed that he remembered something. Then he asked again: "Are you a new student? I have never seen you before!" Sasuke nodded faintly. After staying with his father and brother at home for a long time, he also caught their temper and became cold.
"Ah! Nice to meet you! I am Umino Iruka. I am your homeroom teacher! You can call me Teacher Iruka. By the way, what's your name!"
"Uchiha Sasuke."
Iruka showed a surprised look. "So you are Uchiha Sasuke. I have heard that you are coming for a long time! All the teachers are looking forward to it! I heard that you had Sharingan when you were born! Looking at you now, you can control it too, right?" Sasuke's face immediately cooled down. Iruka quickly explained: "Ah~~~~~ I don't mean anything else. I am not the kind of person you think! You don't need to pay attention to those rumors. People here look at problems very rationally. I believe you will like this place. Come on, let's go to the classroom with me!"
The classroom was very noisy. Maybe it was the first day of school for the children. Everyone seemed extremely excited. The noisy sound from far away made Sasuke frown. When Iruka brought Sasuke to the classroom, he let Sasuke find a seat by himself. Seeing the teacher coming, the originally noisy classroom immediately became quiet. Iruka coughed to clear his throat. "Nice to meet you all! I am Umino Iruka. I will be your homeroom teacher from now on!"
"Ugh~~~~~~~~ So disgusting. There is a long scar on the nose!" A girl with light yellow hair pointed at Iruka's nose and shouted. This made Iruka very embarrassed.
"Yamanaka Ino, you can't talk about the teacher like that..." A girl with pink hair pulled the girl who was speaking loudly, but there was a hint of agreement in her eyes.
"Ah~~~ Being so picky about looks. Women are really troublesome." A boy with a spiky ponytail.
"Shikamaru! What did you say! I heard it!" The girl with light yellow hair said to Shikamaru.
"Oh, then just pretend I don't exist." After saying that, he started staring at the sky outside the window...
"Girls can't be so mean, right, Ino?" A boy with a puppy in his arms said. There was also a little dog on his head that barked twice to add to the momentum.
"Men shouldn't be so nosy and meddle in everything, right? Kiba!" She retorted coldly, leaving Kiba speechless. A cool boy with sunglasses on even in the classroom said coolly: "Never argue with women! Kiba, this is the rule!" Kiba "tut" and sat back in his seat. The girl with white eyes in front of him turned around and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Kiba, forget it. Don't say anymore. The teacher is going to get angry..." Only then did everyone realize that Iruka was about to explode. The bulging veins on his head effectively proved this.
At this time, a chubby child came in. "Excuse me... is this the new student class?" Iruka was stunned and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, find a seat quickly. It's time to call the roll."
Sasuke took a look. It was Chouji. He came to school. It seems that he is not hopeless. At this time, Shikamaru, who had been looking at the sky just now, turned around and shouted to Chouji: "Chouji, come here. Sit here! I thought you weren't coming. I saved a seat for you. What a hassle!"
"Um!" Chouji happily ran over. When he saw Sasuke was also there, he suddenly said to Sasuke: "Thank you!" Sasuke was stunned and showed a slight smile. He nodded in response. This kid is not bad!
"Now let's start calling the roll! Everyone be quiet!"
"Nara Shikamaru."
"Here!"
"Akimichi Chouji."
"Here!"
"Yamanaka Ino."
"Here!"
.........
"The last one, Uzumaki Naruto."
"........."
"Where is Naruto? Didn't I tell him not to be late? This child..." Iruka seemed a little angry and a little helpless. At this time, a voice came from the corridor, getting closer and closer. "Teacher Iruka~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm here~~~~~~~" A figure with yellow hair stumbled in. Sasuke took a look. Isn't this that crazy guy? Do they accept crazy students here? "Naruto!!! You are late!!! Don't you know everyone is waiting for you!"
"It won't happen next time. Eh?" Naruto found Sasuke and happily said: "Ah~ I finally found you! Now I solemnly tell you - I am not a crazy person!" Damn it! What else could this be if it's not crazy!
"Naruto! Are you listening to me at all!" The nice guy Iruka finally exploded and punched Naruto on the head.
"Ah~~~~ It hurts!"
