The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 154 Sarutobi Hiruzen: What’s the point of being Hokage?
Konoha Orphanage.

A thin, fair-skinned boy stood obediently in front of the pharmacist Nono.

"Time flies by so fast. Tomorrow you will become a ninja who can stand on your own..."

Pharmacist Nono touched the boy's head.

The boy enjoyed the dean's touch, but he didn't know what expression he should use, so he subconsciously pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that couldn't be more fake.

"Sai, your smile must come from the heart..." Nono tapped the boy's head and said helplessly.

This child has lived in the root since he was a child and was trained as a killing machine. He has no name, only a code name. Even the name "Sai" was given by Lord Shiratori.

When he was first sent to the orphanage, Sai didn't know how to get along with others normally. Although he tried hard to communicate with his friends, he always caused unnecessary conflicts because he spoke too directly and impolitely.

Over time, he began to become taciturn, tried not to express his inner thoughts, and would just smile fakely when he was indecisive.

Of course, when he occasionally couldn't help but speak, he still retained that unique ability, which was to use the simplest language to cause the strongest discomfort to the other party...

For example now——

"Senior Kabuto..." Sai looked at the Yakushi Kabuto who knocked on the door and said with a fake smile: "I will be a Genin soon. Why haven't you become a Chunin in all these years? Is it because you don't have enough ability? How old are you this year?"

Yakushi Kabuto: "..."

No, you little brat, your words are so annoying!
They are all from the Root, so why is Aburame Tsuchiya, who graduated two years ago, so likable?
Is it because of my personal strength that I haven't become a Chunin yet? Believe it or not, not to mention Chunin, most of the Jonin in the village can't beat me!

Orochimaru is still short of a few experimental subjects, and I think you are perfect for the job!
"Sai!" Nono stretched out his hand and rubbed Sai's face, "Don't talk like that, Kabuto is your senior!"

"Yes, Dean! I remember you once said that the truth is often hurtful..." Sai replied.

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, thinking whether he should go to Aburame Qugen to borrow a few nano poisonous insects, and then find a chance to get into this kid's meal...

Nono quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Sai, who do you want to be teammates with? Who will be the leading jonin?"

"What my teammates say doesn't matter... I hope my leader Jonin is Shiratori-sama!"

"Ha!" Kabuto sneered.

You're just daydreaming! And Shiratori-sama... If Shiratori-sama is really willing to lead the team again, the clan leaders of those ninja clans will definitely burst the gates of the Uchiha clan! No matter how you think about it, it won't be your turn, kid!
He was about to make a sarcastic remark, but he shut up obediently under the stern look of the dean.

There is no way, younger children will always get more love from their elders...

"Besides Lord Shiratori?" Nono asked softly.

"Then... Uchiha Itachi? Yes, Uchiha Itachi."

To be honest, Sai envied Uchiha Sasuke because he had a very good brother.

He once had a brother - although they were not blood relatives. Unfortunately...his brother died, died in the cold roots, and did not wait for the rescue of Shiratori-sama.

What he couldn't understand the most was that Uchiha Sasuke often quarreled with Itachi. I heard that it was because of their father who became a traitor.

Don’t you cherish such a good brother?

Therefore, the person he disliked the most in the Ninja School was Sasuke. When facing Sasuke, his mouth would involuntarily "go all out", often making the opponent furious, which would lead to conflicts.

"I understand... Sai, go back and rest. You have an exam tomorrow."

"Yes, Dean."

Sai nodded and smirked at Yakushi Kabuto, then left the dean's office.

"How annoying... Was I like this when I was a kid?" Dou muttered.

"Kabuto, Sai has been locked up in the Root since he was a child. He is a blank slate when it comes to dealing with people. You have to understand him... Is there something you need after coming back from Orochimaru this time?" "I have completed a mission assigned to me by Shiratori-sama. I will come to visit the dean first, and then I will go to see Shiratori-sama."

"Well, go early and come back early. I'll save some food for you."

"Yes, Dean."

.........

After leaving Haruno's house, Shiratori went straight to the Hokage's office. As soon as he opened the door, a smell of tobacco hit him in the face, choking him and making him cough.

"Wind Style Breakthrough!"

He exhaled towards the office, and suddenly a strong wind blew.

"Stop blowing! I'll open the window now!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking a pipe, was so angry that he held down his hat to prevent it from being blown away and opened the window to ventilate.

This bastard doesn't take me seriously at all!
"You are so old, don't you know that smoking is harmful to your health..."

Shiratori walked to the desk and picked up the list of leading jonin, and also took a pen.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth twitched.

Harmful to health? You beat me into the hospital at my old age and it was good for my health?

Shiratori found a seat at random and started circling and marking on the list.

The arrangement of the leading jonin on this list is similar to that in the original timeline, and all the names of prospective graduates are on it. It seems that the graduation exam will not be difficult, and it is assumed that everyone can graduate...

Although the three families of "Ino, Shikaku, and Chou" had some rifts with the Sandaime because of the Ninja Alliance, their relationship was still closer than that of other families, so Asuma, who returned from the daimyo, still brought Shikamaru and the other two with him.

Naruto is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Kakashi, the only one with the Sharingan besides the Uchiha clan, is the best candidate to lead the team. And Sarutobi Hiruzen added Sasuke, who has always disliked him, as expected by Shiratori. He is the last person of Team 7...

Shiratori crossed out the name he didn't recognize and wrote down Haruno Sakura's name.

And the eighth class...

"Team Eight, which is the team of Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame, why is the column for the team leader jonin empty?"

"The leaders of the Hyuuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans came to see me and asked you to be the leading jonin."

"I don't have time, are you refusing?"

"Refused."

The three clan leaders also went to find Bai Niao for this matter, but were politely declined by Bai Niao.

So they went to find Sarutobi Hiruzen again, but how could Sarutobi Hiruzen dare to make a decision for Shiratori?

"Then I'll just fill in one at random. Anyway, these three little guys are all practicing their family's bloodline limit or secret technique, so it's not that important to lead a team of jonin..."

Shiratori wrote down Yuhi Kurenai's name, and then said, "I have also made some changes to the composition of other ninja teams. Don't forget to take a look."

Sarutobi Hiruzen silently picked up his pipe.

Haha, I really don't know who is the Hokage...

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's movements with his peripheral vision, Shiratori glared: "Wind Style—"

"Stop using the Wind Style! I don't want to smoke anymore!"

What the hell! What's the point of being a Hokage?
