Throughout May, Konoha was as dull as water.
Everyone is very busy, but there is one person who cannot get motivated.
Kushina was a little depressed. She always felt that she had been forgotten by the world.
It was promised that completing the barrier mission would make me a Jonin, but why has no one mentioned this
The most embarrassing thing is that she has gone to the Hokage's office three or four times, sitting quietly for an hour each time, giving various hints in and out of words, but the third generation old man seems to have Alzheimer's disease and keeps silent about her.
Are you waiting for me to give you a gift
Kushina suppressed the anger in her heart. If she were not in the position of asking for help, with her character, she would have set Sandai's beard on fire.
You really think I'm easy to bully!
After being angry, Kushina was a little discouraged. There were so many obstacles in taking the Chuunin exams before, and it seemed that there was no hope for me to be a jounin in this life.
But you must know that several good friends around you have become jounin. Let alone Tatsu, Minato, Naoki, and even Mikoto have become jonin after returning from Daming Mansion.
Noonoyu and Kana don't, but they have followed Tsunade around for the past two years, okay
Thinking of this, Kushina felt even more uncomfortable.
She had been in Konoha for so long, and except for the time when Tsunade led the team, she had stayed in the village and never left.
No matter how beautiful the village is, there are times when it gets boring.
Kushina suddenly felt sympathy for Kyuubi.
She just hasn't left the village, and the Kyuubi has been staying in the Jinchuriki's body for decades. Let alone the village, he can't even get out of the cage.
The only time it was released was when it was transferred into Kushina's body.
Before it even took a breath of the sweet air, it was beaten wildly by Mito and a group of ninjas. When it woke up again, it had been thrown from its previous home to another home.
If this is considered miserable for me, then what is the Nine Lamas
Les Misérables
Kushina suddenly felt mentally balanced;
But Kyuubi was a little confused.
A few days ago, someone was standing next to the cage with his hands on his hips and yelling that it was useless. Why did he start talking softly today
With this contrast in attitude, are you sure you didn't forget to take your medicine
So Kyuubi made some indirect inquiries, and when it finished listening to Kushina's explanation, its nose was crooked with anger.
Damn it, I haven’t seen any big storms and waves, so I need your sympathy? !
When I was at my lowest, the psychological shadow of being caressed and tortured by the first-generation One-Trick Immortal came out. This can alleviate my pain. What does this pain mean now
not to mention…
"Since you sympathize with me, why don't you take off the seal?"
"Huh, I don't know the heart of a good person." Kushina huddled her head under her quilt and ignored Kyuubi.
“…”
… …
At the same time, through the thick night, Uchiha Tatsumi slowly walked into the Hokage's office.
At this point, the Third Hokage has not yet been relieved from his busy work. As the shadow in the village, he undoubtedly bears the greatest pressure.
Of course, Chen would not bother the Hokage when he had nothing to do. His appearance here was naturally due to the Third Generation's order.
When the boy walked into the Hokage's office, what he saw was that the third generation was smacking the cigarette in his hand, frowning and staring at the documents in his hand, as if he hadn't noticed him.
Naturally, a strong Kage level person would not be so slow. The Third Hokage did this purely because he was too busy with the work at hand and could not take care of Chen.
After waiting for about five minutes, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents in his hands, motioned the young man to sit down, and then asked, "How about the guard staying here?"
"The seniors are all talented and well-spoken. I like it there very much."
The Third Hokage rolled his eyes at him: "Tell the truth."
"The Guard is just... so boring."
If I had to use a metaphor, Chen felt that the police force was a bit like a combination of the police and urban management in the previous life.
Vendors who set up stalls without a license must be policed;
When residents fight, you need to take care of them;
Disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law need to be managed;
Open defecation must be controlled...
If he encounters some obstructionists, not to mention those Uchiha clan members, even Chen himself can't wait to do it himself to let the other party know why the flowers are so red.
But you can't take action, because immediately someone shouts at the top of their lungs: "The police are beating someone!"
Chen finally understood why the Uchiha clan wanted to stage a coup. Doing this kind of work every day would make him manic even if he didn't rebel.
The Third Hokage smiled and said: "Since you are not happy here, why not come over and help me."
Looking at the pile of documents in the corner, the young man's eyes twitched and he shook his head decisively: "I am still young. Only people of your age, like the third generation uncle, are suitable to stay here."
Although he was joking, what Chen said was true. He was really not suitable to stay in this kind of place. Even if he became Hokage in the future, he would probably find a few assistants, or even retire early and hand over his position to the next generation.
Chen doesn't want to be trapped in an office for the rest of his life.
The Third Hokage smiled and didn't take it seriously.
The Third Hokage was already very satisfied that the boy could wait here obediently for him to finish the matters at hand instead of disturbing him as soon as he came in.
Not only because he has top strength at a young age, but also because of his upbringing.
You know, most genius ninjas have bad habits of one kind or another.
To put it bluntly, the discipline is not adequate.
Most of the ninja clan nowadays focus on the strength of the younger generation. Many times, they ignore the issue of quality and discipline.
In this regard, the Uchiha clan is a typical negative example.
Therefore, don't blame the Third Hokage for being more inclined to civilian ninjas.
Civilian ninjas are cleaner and do not involve interests. For them, the village is their boss, and there is no so-called high-level family sandwiched in between.
The Third Hokage came back to his senses, coughed, and began to get back to the point: "Do you still remember what you said to me during the Chunin Examination three years ago?"
Chen was stunned, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Remember."
But he felt helpless in his heart. "It's been so many years, and I'm not a repeater. How can I remember it?"
Although I am complaining like this in my heart, I still need to have the confidence I should have, especially the expression that says, "I still remember what happened back then."
The Third Hokage did not doubt that he was there, and sighed: "I thought about the conversation many times later, and every time I felt that what you said made sense.
Kushina can't be trapped in the village forever, she is also a ninja and needs to go on a mission. "
It turned out to be this, Chen suddenly realized.
The Third Hokage paused and continued: "I have promised her a long time ago that when she becomes a Jonin, she can go out to perform missions.
But after all, she has a special status and needs to be protected by ninjas with sufficient strength, so I intend to let you two form a new team to carry out the mission. "
"Then what is our mission?"
"The disappeared Uzushio Village was once our ally and the hometown of Mito-sama and Kushina. Although it has perished, some Uzumaki heritage has been left behind. I need you to bring it back."
"The Kingdom of Whirlpool..."
There are basically no ninjas left in the Kingdom of Whirlpool, so there is no danger, but the key is that it is too close to the Kingdom of Water.
Chen didn't want to go, but the Third Hokage came to him specifically and explained it himself, so he had no reason to refuse.
"It seems that we must be prepared. If anything goes wrong, just take Kushina and go with the counter-psychic spirit..."
The Third Hokage handed the task book he had written to the boy, showing a meaningful and somewhat ambiguous smile.
"Go, that's Kushina's hometown, if she wants... you can stay a little longer, don't worry."
Chen rolled his eyes.
"I believe you, you are such a bad old man."
