The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 40 Village

Chapter 40 Return to the Village
The moment Shiratori stepped into the gate of Konoha Village, he felt as if he was in another world.

After graduating from Ninja School, other people's children would look for cats and dogs and pick up trash, but when it came to me...

Now he has finally returned to the village and received a letter of recommendation to become a jonin. It can be said that he has skipped the normal ninja career of being a genin or a chunin.

His future experience should be very strange - his first mission in life was to face an ambush by the Kirigakure assassination team, killing three enemies, and then he was thrown into the vigorous defense battle on the southeast front...

Shiratori and the others followed the three jonin, Aburame Shiwei, Sarutobi Suiten and Akimichi Choza, and walked straight through Konoha Village and headed straight for the Hokage Building.

Along the way, Shiratori discovered that the impact of the Ninja World War on Konoha Village was not as great as he had imagined. It was still as lively as before, but there were fewer smiles on people's faces.

Konoha is not an ordinary town, but a ninja village.

Not counting those ninja families, even ordinary civilians, there is a high probability that there will be ninjas among their family members and friends who are currently stationed on the front lines. What's more, in the previous battles, even if Konoha won a phased victory, it still inevitably caused the sacrifice of a large number of ninjas.

They are parents, children, family members, friends...

dong dong dong-

"Please come in."

Shiratori, who fell behind everyone, was the last one to walk into the Hokage's office. As soon as he entered the room, he looked around curiously, and finally fixed his eyes on the slightly thin figure behind the desk.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not as old as Shiratori had imagined. He was in his fifties, which was the end of the golden age for ninjas. His beard and hair had not yet turned white, and the title of "Ninjutsu Professor" could still shock the ninja world...

Well, the word "terrifying" is indeed a bit exaggerated, otherwise there would not have been so many wars during his tenure as Hokage.

"Thank you for your hard work... I didn't expect that a simple transportation mission would cause you to be involved in the Ninja World War against your will."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the mission report handed over by Zhiwei and spoke to the people in front of him.

"Hokage, you are too kind. Protecting Konoha is the responsibility and obligation of Konoha ninjas. This is what we should do."

Aburame Shiwei straightened her chest. Apart from Asuma who was dismissive of her father's words, even Shiratori had a determined look on his face.

Don’t worry about what you think in your heart, just express your feelings with your eyes like everyone else.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at everyone with admiration, and finally met Shiratori's eyes.

The white bird quickly lowered its head.

"Little guy, you must be Uchiha Shiratori."

What are you afraid of?

Shiratori really didn't want to have any interaction with the Sandaime, and originally wanted to leave quickly after completing the task, but she didn't expect that she couldn't escape after all.

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Shiratori looked up, his expression somewhat flattered, mixed with the innocence of a child.

These were all learned during my childhood in the Uchiha clan’s territory!

If Shanshan was here, he would definitely sigh: He pretends to be quite human!
Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his beard and smiled kindly.

This Uchiha seems a little different. It’s hard to imagine that he was taught by Uchiha Setsuna... Well, find a chance to arrange him into the Anbu.

"Little white bird..." Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed, "You look a lot like an old friend of mine!"

"Old friend? Who are you talking about, Hokage?" Shiratori looked so innocent and cute, he could hardly stand his hypocritical and affected look.

Asuma stared at the white bird from the side, his expression twisted and his worldview shattered——

No, man...did you get upset on the battlefield? Was it because you failed to stop the shark-faced Mist Ninja in the final battle?
"It's Uchiha Kagami, have you heard of this name, Little White Bird?" The rivalry that made Asuma collapse is still going on here.

"It turns out to be Senior Jing!"

Shiratori suddenly realized something and said in surprise: "Senior Kagami has always been my goal! I also want to become a great Konoha ninja like him."

The white bird looks smiling on the outside, but is actually laughing on the inside.

I also look like Uchiha Kagami... Lord Hokage probably doesn't know that my old man has always secretly said that I look like Uchiha Madara!
Isn’t it scary?
The two foxes, one old and one young, chatted for a few more meaningless words, and Zhiwei also found an opportunity to hand over the letter of recommendation jointly signed by him and Akimichi Tofu recommending Shiratori to become a Jonin.

Asuma's expression became even more devastated...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had received the news a long time ago, was not surprised, but said that because Shiratori was too young, he still needed to think about the matter carefully.

After a long period of questioning about the situation on the front line, when Shiratori could no longer maintain the fake smile on his face, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally finished his questions and signaled everyone to go back and have a good rest.

Shiratori and others retreated, but Sarutobi Suiten stayed.

"Suiten?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his eldest son with some confusion. "Father, I want to return to the Anbu and become a leading jonin, but I... am not good at it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

The first time he became a leading jonin, he sacrificed one of his subordinates, and even an entire jonin team was wiped out because of his decision... There was a big problem with Sarutobi Suiten's mentality.

"Okay... by the way, what do you think of this little guy Uchiha Shiratori?"

"Very good, you are worthy of the title of genius. You have the strength of a jonin before you are ten years old."

"It's not about strength, I mean... forget it, go back and have a good rest."

.........

In the corridor of the Hokage Building.

"Hey, White Bird."

"explain."

“Hehehe, it’s like this…” Asuma showed a malicious expression, “The way you pretended in front of my dad… can you show it to me again!”

Shiratori turned his head and gave Asuma a smile that made his hair stand on end. "Do you want to be beaten? The kind that you would get beaten three times a day."

Asma: "..."

It's amazing to be able to fight!

Shiratori was walking and chatting with his friends. When he turned a corner, he ran into a handsome ninja with blond hair.

"Huh? Minato?"

The person who came was Minato Namikaze.

"Zhiwei, and Ding Zuo? Long time no see." Namikaze Minato's smile was warm and sunny, and he was completely different from the one on the battlefield.

"I heard that you were very active in the battle with Kumogakure! Even Master Jiraiya was overshadowed by you!"

"No, no..." Namikaze Minato waved his hand, "By the way, Hokage-sama is still waiting for me. I heard that he has some mission... I'll go over first."

"Okay, let's get together sometime."

"must."

Shiratori only withdrew his gaze when Minato Namikaze's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

That is the legendary Yong Dai Mei...

Zhiwei and Dingzuo were still chatting.

"Minato is so busy! He just got back from the battlefield and has another mission."

"Yeah... maybe it's because they are so strong, unlike us, they don't have time to rest."

"What if Minato's mission requires us to join him?"

"Uh... shouldn't it be?"

.........

Namikaze Minato pushed the door open and entered the Hokage's office, and greeted Sarutobi Suiten who was about to leave.

"I'm so sorry, Minato. I just got back to the village and I have a mission for you."
