The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 153: The main story begins, on the eve of graduation
"See you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye Iruka-sensei!"

"Classmates, do your best for tomorrow's graduation exam!"

Konoha Village, Ninja School.

Haruno Sakura was waving goodbye to everyone with a smile, and when she turned around, she saw Yamanaka Ino glaring at her.

"Hmph!" Sakura's expression changed quickly and she snorted coldly: "Go back and prepare well. With your ability, you may not be able to graduate!"

"Sakura, you should be the one getting ready!"

Ino raised her chin proudly: "What's the use of having good scores in the written test? If you don't pass the graduation exam, you will have to stay in the ninja school and continue studying, and I... will become a teammate with Sasuke-kun!"

"Ino, what did you say? Sasuke-kun is obviously my companion!"

"Haha... who would like an ugly woman with a broad forehead?"

The two little girls put their heads together and clenched their fists.

At this moment, the Sasuke they were talking about appeared at the end of the corridor, walking towards them with his hands in his pockets.

The two of them separated immediately and pretended to be ladies.

"Sasuke-kun, you—"

Sasuke walked between the two of them without even saying hello, as if he didn't see them.

Seeing this, they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, then glared at each other and left in opposite directions.

"Ugh……"

On the way home, Sakura sighed.

Tomorrow... is the graduation exam.

As a top student, she was not worried about not being able to graduate. Even though she was best at theoretical knowledge, she also performed very well in regular ninjutsu assessments.

It’s just that after the graduation exam, the classmates in the class will separate...

She didn't know if she could be assigned to the same team as Sasuke. Sasuke was from the Uchiha clan, so he might look down on civilian ninjas like her...

Although the Haruno family has its own family emblem, the entire family has no more than ten people in total. Among the family members, only her parents are ninjas, and they are mediocre Chunins at that.

It's more like a ninja family than a ninja clan...

"I am back!"

Sakura walked into the house, took off her shoes, and then she felt something was wrong.

Normally her father, Haruno Zhao, would greet her at the door, but today there was no movement.

They are not at home?
There were noises coming from the restaurant and the kitchen... Could it be that a thief broke in?
She lightened her steps, took out a kunai for practice, tiptoed over, and then she heard her father's voice -

"Boss White Bird, try this!"

"Ohhhh okay!"

"and this!"

"Uh-thank you, thank you!"

"Meifuki, is the next dish ready?"

"No more! That's enough! I can't eat any more!"

"Boss Shiratori, please don't be so polite! I know how much you eat. You are not even half full..."

Sakura approached quietly, leaned against the wall and stuck her head out to observe secretly.

In the restaurant, a young man who looked to be in his twenties was eating heartily at the dining table. The plates on the table had piled up into a small mountain.

Mom Yabuki was busy in the kitchen, her cooking speed could not keep up with the speed of the young man eating, while dad Haruno Zhao was running between the kitchen and the dining room, constantly carrying plates...

This is... huh?

Sakura tilted her head in confusion.

Who is he? He looks familiar...

As if sensing something, the young man suddenly turned his head and met Sakura's eyes.

"Wow!" The little girl screamed, startled. Hearing the sound, Haruno Zhao, who was cleaning the dishes, turned around and finally saw his precious daughter: "Xiaoying? When did you come back?"

He put down the plate, pulled Sakura in front of the young man, and said respectfully: "Boss Shiratori! This is my daughter, her name is Sakura."

The young man smiled and nodded: "Very cute little girl, hello Sakura, I am Uchiha Shiratori."

Uchiha...Shiratori?
Sakura opened her mouth wide, staring in shock at the handsome, elegant, and apparently good-tempered young man in front of her.

This is the chief of Konoha’s security department and the patriarch of the Uchiha clan… Uchiha Shiratori?

Who is the rumored strongest fighter in Konoha Village?
Shiratori also looked at Sakura curiously.

He had met Sakura before, but she was too young at that time and couldn't remember anything.

In the past few years, he has been away from the village most of the time, and has met Haruno Zhao and his wife only a few times. Every time they met, it was by chance in the village, while Sakura was in school.

So this should be the first time the two of them meet officially.

"Sakura, Shiratori-sama was once my father's team leader! I showed you the photo..."

Haruno Zhao puffed out his chest, looking extremely proud.

At this time, Meibuki also walked out of the kitchen.

After she patted her daughter's head, she bowed to Shiratori and said, "Boss Shiratori, Sakura will be a ninja starting tomorrow. Please... take good care of her!"

"must."

Shiratori smiled. In fact, when Haruno Zhao and his wife invited him to a dinner at their home today, he had guessed their intention.

This year's graduating class can be said to be full of "young clan leaders", and Haruno Sakura's family background is one of the most inconspicuous among them.

The Haruno Zhao couple...are afraid that Sakura will be treated unfairly!

"Sakura." Shiratori looked at the shy little girl, "Who would you like to be a teammate with?"

"This...can I choose it myself?" Sakura's eyes lit up.

"Of course, it's just a small matter."

"Uchiha Sasuke! Is it okay…"

"Okay, it's settled."

Sakura almost jumped up with joy!
But she behaved very reservedly, bowing and thanking Bai Niao like a lady, while the violent personality in her heart had already started shaking her fist and laughing wildly——

"Ahahahaha! Sasuke is mine! With the help of Shiratori-sama, what can you, Inoin, use to compete with me? Ahahahaha—"

"Um... Boss Shiratori, Sakura's team leader is..." Meibuki asked cautiously from the side.

"How about Hatake Kakashi, the village's top elite jonin?" Shiratori took a sip of tea.

Upon hearing Kakashi's name, Haruno Zhao and his wife were overjoyed.

It’s stable now!

.........

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad...

Ichiraku Ramen.

Naruto ate his ramen heartlessly, not caring about tomorrow's exam at all.

And Uchiha Itachi next to him had a worried look on his face.

It’s not that Naruto doesn’t try hard, it’s just that the Nine-Tails in his body greatly affects his ability to control chakra.

Even with his own guidance, Itachi had no confidence at all whether Naruto could pass the exam.

"How about... go find Shiratori tonight? Have him give the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto a good fight, so that it won't cause any trouble tomorrow, or..."

Itachi suddenly looked at Iruka who was sitting on the other side of Naruto——

It seems possible to control the examiner with illusion in advance...

Iruka shuddered as if he sensed something, and looked at Uchiha Itachi with some suspicion.

This guy...wasn't his gaze a bit rude just now...
