Clear, clear words.
As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't need to beat around the bush at all, and this is still facing Iruka and Menma. Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't need to pretend to be serious, he can just express his attitude directly.
Iruka, who had already expected and prepared before, completely let his hanging heart fall back into his stomach after hearing these words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is not Tsunade, Minato, as the Hokage who was once in danger, and then led Konoha to rise all the way, and has been in charge of Konoha Hidden Village for thirty or forty years, Sarutobi Hiruzen is in the village
He has supreme prestige, and his words are enough to decide everything in the three-thirds of an acre of Konoha Hidden Village.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Iruka also had a hint of excitement on his face and quickly lowered his head in response.
Only Menma on the side still looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen in the upper position with a very obvious look of worry and uneasiness. He took a deep breath and said as if to muster up all the courage:
"But I also peeked at the Sealed Book, which seems to be the village's top secret that only Hokage-sama in the past is qualified to read. My identity is still..."
"You are you, Menma. You are the child I have seen since childhood. I have always believed in you. You have no other identity. You are the ninja of Konoha Hidden Village - Uzumaki Menma. This is my identity.
You can ignore the Hokage's recognition of you and other people's opinions. In the future, it will be enough to prove it with your own actual actions. As for the Sealed Book, it doesn't matter. Didn't you defeat the rebel Mizuki? Just treat it as such.
This is a reward for you, at this point, you don’t need to worry at all, Menma.”
He didn't wait for Menma to finish his words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and shook his head, interrupting Menma with soft words. The endless gentleness revealed in his pupils, at first glance and hearing, it really seemed that he was speaking with the most sincerity.
He is like a kind old man who cares deeply about his future generations.
Perhaps Sarutobi Hiruzen did have a few words that came from his heart.
But Menma was more willing to believe that everything Sarutobi Hiruzen did and all the words he said were based on the righteousness of safeguarding the so-called Hidden Leaf Village.
Menma would not be deceived by Hiruzen Sarutobi's outward appearance.
Or to be more precise, Sarutobi Hiruzen's righteousness and Konoha's righteousness are not his righteousness. This village is not his destination. His future lies outside, in any other possibility, except not
It will be in Konoha Hidden Village.
Of course, on the surface, Menma still had to show a relaxed and excited look on purpose, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with bright eyes, and replied with a hint of gratitude: "Yes, Third Generation Grandpa"
It seemed to be a look of sincere joy and joy.
Then he came into the sight of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
A touch of satisfaction appeared in the heart of the Third Hokage.
What he wants is such an expansion and such a result.
Everything is under control!
"Let's end this matter here. It's very late today. Isn't there still a graduation ceremony tomorrow? You two should go back and rest early!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the two of them and said warmly.
Starting from 22 o'clock in the night, the time that has passed has passed back and forth, and it is now more than 3 o'clock in the middle of the night.
They just exited this Kuan Huokage office together.
"Menma, although today's events are over, the teacher still wants to remind you that you must be cautious and detailed in your actions in the future. Tomorrow, oh, no, it should be today, you will be an official ninja. From now on,
We have to perform a variety of tasks, and any carelessness may lead to very dangerous results. I hope you can remember this!"
Stepping out of the Hokage Building, at the fork in the street, Iruka looked at Menma with a serious expression and said the same.
"Well, I remember, Mr. Iruka, I will definitely act with caution in the future!"
Menma nodded heavily and said.
"Um!"
Hearing Menma's answer.
Iruka also had a gentle smile on his face and nodded.
"Go back and rest. The graduation ceremony starts at nine o'clock! Don't be late!"
"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"
After Iruka said this, he turned around and left, heading back to his home on the other side.
Menma stayed on the spot, watching Iruka's figure gradually disappearing into the night, and then suppressed the smile on his face.
He turned around and glanced at the Hokage Building, which was still brightly lit.
A faint icy color flashed quickly in Menma's pupils.
‘This is just the beginning!!’
The end of winter.
The breath of early spring is coming here.
January of the 60th year of Konoha.
Menma also officially graduated from the ninja school.
After leaving the novice protection period, what will come next is a real boss-level enemy that is more dangerous and terrifying than the last one.
The night slowly passes away.
Dawn comes quietly.
The next day.
When the first ray of sunshine shines on the earth in the morning.
The Ninja School located in the core of the village has gradually become noisy and noisy. The Ninja School has two fixed lively days every year, one is the opening season in March, and the other is the graduation season in January!
The boys and girls who have successfully passed the graduation examination will wear the forehead protectors they just received at this moment and come to the Ninja School to attend their graduation ceremony in high spirits. The little guys who have not yet graduated will also be envious.
I look at these graduating seniors with longing and dream about their future graduation prospects!
I have never seen the truly cruel little guys in the ninja world.
in their eyes.
We only see the glamor after becoming a ninja, but we don’t see the risks that ninjas need to take!
It was also a rare occasion that Menma did not get up early, but slept until eight o'clock.
This is not only because today is special
It was also because they had just fought a battle last night. Even though Mizuki was a weak enemy, it was Menma's first battle in this world after all. That is to say, Mizuki was really terrible.
Mizuki possesses the average strength of a chuunin and maintains the highest level of fighting consciousness.
Even Menma couldn't win yesterday's battle so clearly.
Because others can't see it.
Menma actually knew very well that during yesterday's battle, he was still a little nervous. The arm holding the kunai was trembling slightly at the beginning. Don't forget that in his previous life, he lived in a very...
In a harmonious and peaceful country.
The biggest 'battle scene' is to 'assist' my own master to kill a chicken once.
This kind of 'real person PK' would be a strange thing if Menma didn't feel nervous at all!
Therefore, the outcome of this battle is not that important to Menma.
But the battle itself has extraordinary significance!
This is also where Menma begins to truly integrate into this dark and cruel world of 'blood and fire'!
