Becoming a Ninja from Naruto

Chapter 45 Jiraiya

Konoha Village.

A tall wooden wall enveloped Konoha.

The whole village has changed a lot in the past ten years.

Ten years can make people's hometowns become unrecognizable, with only some iconic buildings and scenery showing the outline of their past.

"this…"

"Is this really Konoha?"

The young man Danzo widened his eyes in disbelief.

Because he grew up in Konoha when he was a child, in his impression Konoha has always been a simple village, but now it has become a prosperous and wealthy town.

The gate of Konoha Village was also built very tall.

Two uniformed Konoha Chunins were sitting at a table next to the gate with a registration form on the table, watching Emiya Shihara and his group coming over.

"Welcome to Konoha."

One of the Chunins welcomed them in warmly and invited them to come over to register their information: "You need to register your information to enter the village."

"We are the ninjas of the village."

The young man Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately came over, took the initiative to register his own name and Shimura Danzo's name, and gave a big smile to the two Chunins.

"I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, the village's genin."

"Eh? Are you Sarutobi-senpai?!"

"This change is too big!"

"If you don't look closely, you can't recognize that it's my former senior!

The Chunin in charge of the guard looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief, and remembered that he was a senior student who was often praised by teachers when he was in the ninja school, so he quickly introduced himself: "Sarutobi senior, I am Kanzuki Kumo!"

"Eh?"

The young man Sarutobi Hiruzen scratched his head, his eyes widened involuntarily: "You are a kid who just entered school when we graduated, are you already a Chunin?"

"whee…"

The Chunin immediately patted his Chunin uniform with satisfaction and said, "Two years ago, I luckily passed the village's assessment, and I was one step faster than Sarutobi-senpai!"

“Hahahaha… really excellent!”

The young man Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and praised his juniors, then sighed with some regret: "It seems that we have to finish the exams as soon as possible after returning..."

"Humph…"

The young man Danzo came over, his face clearly showing some dissatisfaction with his backwardness: "We just wasted ten years traveling around the ninja world. Otherwise, we would have been promoted to the village's jonin by now..."

"How can this be considered a waste of time!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly poked the young man Danzo's shoulder.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that it was the ten years that delayed their promotion, he believed that traveling during those ten years could not be a waste of time.

Ten years of travel...

It gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a broader vision.

This young man would never play and frolic like he did in his childhood again. He even tried to learn to stand in the shoes of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju and think about what the future of Konoha should look like and what kind of relationship they should maintain with other major ninja villages.

the most important is…

Their strength has also made great progress.

During these ten years, Danzo Shimura also acquired the combat power of a Jonin.

What's more, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has mastered the changes in the properties of five types of chakra, only achieved a qualitative leap in strength after he obtained the curse seal of natural energy, because Emiya Shihara's curse seal greatly enhances the power of the technique.

To be honest...

Sarutobi Hiruzen even has the confidence to defeat his father Sarutobi Sasuke.

“It’s really a waste of time…”

However, the Chunin in charge of guarding the gate agreed with the words of the young Danzo, and mentioned several of Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo's contemporaries: "Tatsune Akatsuki and Mito Kado En-senpai have long been promoted to jonin, and even Maruboshi Kosuke-senpai was once a jonin!"

"but…"

"Maruboshi Kosuke-senpai made a mistake before..."

The Chunin guarding the gate knew a lot of gossip and whispered a story about their time together: "Now it seems that he was demoted and became a Genin again. He also refused to take part in the Chunin exam and has been a Genin in the village..."

"Gu Jie?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows furrowed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not plan to ask too many questions for the time being. After registering the information, he planned to accompany Emiya Shihara to the Hokage Building to report.

“This person hasn’t registered yet…”

Another Chunin blocked their way, pointed at Emiya Shihara, who looked about the same age as them, and asked curiously, "Is he also a ninja in the village?"

"Do not."

"This Excellency is an honored guest in the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head seriously, registered a false name on it, and introduced it again in a deep voice: "He is a more distinguished guest than anyone else."

"Then you can take your guests on a tour of the village."

After checking the ninja registration books carried by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, the Chunin sighed softly, "Your information and photos should also be updated. If we weren't here, we might not be able to recognize other unfamiliar Chunin seniors..."

"Speaking of which..."

"Perhaps after you enter the village, you may not recognize it as the former Konoha. The village has changed a lot over the years..."

Compared to the periphery…

The changes in Konoha Village were even greater. The houses on the streets of Konoha were no longer so simple and sloppy, and even the architectural style had changed a bit. The colors of the walls were no longer the simple light green and brown, but were painted in a variety of colors. More and more shops began to be built along the streets.

If it looks like...

The scenery of Konoha can be described as brightly colored and beautiful.

Surrounded by a group of low mountains, dense green trees are interspersed near colorful houses. On the neat streets, you can see the red Hokage Building and the rock wall statue of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, carved behind the Hokage Building.

Compared to when Konoha was first built ten years ago...

Today's Konoha is more like a truly great ninja village, and can even be called a small city-state. It is impossible to imagine how simple it was in the past.

If one had grown up in Konoha, one might not have noticed this change; Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo had been away from Konoha for ten years, and they could not help but be shocked by the changes in the scenery of their hometown.

“Unbelievable…”

The young man Sarutobi Hiruzen leaped onto a tall water well tower and looked out over the scenery of Konoha: "Konoha has changed so much in the past ten years..."

"Um…"

The young man Tuan Zang couldn't help but nod.

"Time flies so fast..."

Shihara Emiya seemed to see the baptism of time from the changes in Konoha. He knew that Konoha in the future would be more prosperous than it is now.

Compared to the change of scenery...

There seemed to be more and more people in the village.

Perhaps because of Konoha's reputation, many people moved to Konoha and became villagers of Konoha Village, and there were more children in the village.

The streets were full of children running and playing, and there was even a little white-haired kid who came recklessly and was about to bump into Emiya Shihara.

However, Emiya Shihara stretched out his hand slightly, and a breeze enveloped the little guy's body, allowing the reckless kid to stay safely in place.

"Eh? Is this a ninjutsu?"

The little white-haired guy stroked the breeze around him with some curiosity. He looked up at Emiya Shihara who was standing in front of him: "Are you the ninja senior in the village?"

"No."

Emiya Shihara shook his head.

"There are ninjas outside breaking in!"

The little white-haired fellow immediately shouted to his friends behind him, completely ignoring the fact that he was still under their control, and shouted, "Go call the seniors in the village, I found an enemy who has sneaked into the village!"

"..."

A group of little guys started shouting in panic.

"..."

Emiya Shihara's expression fell silent.

"Bang!"

The young man Sarutobi Hiruzen leaped down, tapped the white-haired kid on the head with his fingers, and chuckled, "Haha, you have poor eyesight, you actually picked someone who looks the least like an enemy..."

"what the hell!"

The white-haired kid pouted unhappily.

"Does this gentleman look like a bad person?"

The young man Sarutobi Hiruzen patted the little guy on the head and motioned him to get to know Emiya Shihara in front of him: "Little boy, the one standing in front of you is the greatest man in the ninja world. Even if we only look at your face, he can't be a bad guy!"

If we talk about appearance...

The young man standing next to him, Tuan Zang, looks more like a bad guy.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who looks very friendly, cannot compare to Emiya Shihara, because he thinks he does not have the compassionate temperament that Emiya Shihara exudes.

"What tribe are you from? What's your name?"

The young Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked the little guy's white hair curiously.

"..."

Emiya Shihara's eyes dropped slightly.

With his white hair and red marks on his face under his eyes, this little guy vaguely looks like an old friend from the future.

The white-haired brat put on an extremely arrogant attitude, clenched his fist and raised his thumb with it pointing backwards towards himself, and gave himself a series of lame adjectives!

"I am the one who has charmed countless beauties in the ninja world..."

"The most handsome, generous, free, talented and gifted young genius in the ninja world, the future number one in Konoha Ninja School, and the most powerful ninja in Konoha!"

"Jiraiya too!"

"..."

The young Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned.

Because he had never seen such a shameless little guy.

Even when I was a teenager, I was also a hot-tempered person, but I could never be as narcissistic as this kid.

However, Emiya Shihara was silent for a while, and one sentence angered this arrogant and narcissistic white-haired brat.

"After talking so much, the child's mouth will be dry, right?"

　like…

　　Jiraiya was very narcissistic when he saw Tsunade...

　　There is no reserve at all. When she saw Tsunade, she just said, "Give me the love letter later."

　　Is it true that he has a lot of admirers in the Ninja School?
