Konoha Notes

Chapter 269 The Excess of Everyday Life

Recently, more and more people have been coming to my home, and their faces are not as peaceful as before.

My brother is on vacation, but he often goes to help people with training, which is said to be part of the village's mission.

My father told me not to disturb him.

Sasuke was a little annoyed. How could following along in training be considered an intrusion?

In a few years, he will also represent the Uchiha clan on the field, and he will return with honors.

“After I finish teaching Izumi, I will help you train, Sasuke,” his brother said. “This is a task for our senior, and it is very important for the village.”

It's always the senior's task.

He really is a troublemaker.

Sasuke kicked away the pebbles at his feet in a fit of anger, and lingered on the banks of the Naka River, reluctant to go home.

But as the sun began to set and only a dark red glow remained on the horizon, he reluctantly turned around and pushed open the imposing yet somewhat somber gate of the mansion.

Many shoes were neatly arranged at the entrance.

Sasuke looked away, not wanting to see the symbols that represented "adults' meetings," and after changing his shoes, he quickly walked across the front yard.

But when he reached the corridor, he couldn't help but stop and quietly turn back, tiptoeing towards the brightly lit Japanese-style room.

"Clan leader, we can't let Hyuga Hiashi be so smug about the branch's affairs!"

"Captain, right now they only want to go to the branch offices. If this continues, they'll be begging for the position of police chief!"

"Please demonstrate the power of the Uchiha's eye, and let the Hyuga clan understand that the police department is definitely not their place!"

"Clan leader..."

The noise inside the room was so loud that it could be heard even from outside.

Sasuke clenched his fists, the thought of pushing open the door and rushing in rising within him.

"That's enough. The fact that the branch has been established and that Hiashi Hyuga has been appointed as its head cannot be changed. This is the will of the village."

The originally noisy noise was momentarily silenced by the head of the police department.

But then it rang again.

"The establishment of the branch cannot be changed, but, clan leader, it is also necessary to prove that the Hyuga clan does not have enough ability to control the branch."

"At least……"

Just as Sasuke was about to lose his composure, he was gently patted on the shoulder.

"elder brother……"

Itachi smiled at Sasuke, opened the door, and walked into the room.

As Itachi entered, the clamor in the room subsided again, turning into a murmur of discussion.

Sasuke could no longer hear anything and left with his head down.

The Hyuga clan...

Are they challenging the authority of the Uchiha clan?

The thought lingered in his mind until he stepped into school the next day.

As he entered the classroom, his gaze unconsciously fell on the girl with short blue hair sitting in the front row.

Hinata Hinata.

Seemingly sensing that someone was watching her, Hinata shrank her shoulders and lowered her head even further, almost burying it in her desk.

This Hyuga is actually challenging the Uchiha clan in the village...

During break, Sasuke wandered through the corridors.

That blond idiot was secretly following him, but Sasuke wasn't in the mood to pay attention.

Anyway, that guy always acts suspiciously on and off, and every now and then he'll suddenly come up with some stupid ideas to do something stupid.

Suddenly, Sasuke's gaze was drawn to another person on the playground.

Long black hair, white eyes.

That was also a Hyuga.

The movements were concise yet sharp.

His expression looked like that of a ninja.

Sasuke observed, his eyelids slowly drooping, his lips pressed into a straight line.

"What are you doing all of a sudden, coming over here again?"

Naruto raised his hand, placed it across his forehead, and squinted at the people on the playground.

"Is Sasuke looking at that person down there?"

"You... are annoying." Sasuke replied irritably, then prepared to attack. Sure enough, the idiot next to him immediately yelled "Take this!" and pounced on him again, baring his teeth and claws.

Then she fell smoothly at his feet, saying something silly like she would definitely win next time.

Hyuga... If I can prove the Uchiha's reputation, then my father won't be tormented by the clan anymore.

He wanted to prove himself to be a ninja like his older brother, someone who would not betray the name of the Uchiha.

Then they won't be treated like children anymore.
-
"This child doesn't look like Minato."

Tsunade glanced at the report card in her hand, then looked at Naruto, who had been following behind Sasuke but had suddenly run up to him.

Minato Namikaze is such a composed person.

Seeing Naruto suddenly launch an attack only to be knocked to the ground again, he shook his head once more.

"It doesn't resemble Kushina either."

Kushina can actually hit people, and it hurts quite a bit.

When the Hokage arrives at the Ninja Academy to assign tasks, it's only natural that he would also take the opportunity to check on the important figures in the village.

"Work completed."

Tsunade neatly folded the report card in her hand as proof that she had been to the Ninja Academy.

I originally planned to find a place to have a drink and relax.

But after looking at the sky, he felt that going to an izakaya at this time would not be a good idea, so he returned to the Hokage's office.

"Are there any students this year who are suitable to go directly to the hospital?" Shuji asked without looking up.

"Two or three, I guess."

Tsunade answered, taking out a bottle of sake and some snacks from the cabinet.

"Although I proposed the training of medical ninjas, your ideas are even more radical than mine, Shuji."

"What do you mean by 'suitable candidates are directly sent to Konoha Hospital without going through the usual team procedures'? If that's the case, then they can't be called ninjas."

Shuji watched as the woman, who had just returned, sat on the sofa and started drinking and slacking off.

"There are very few people who possess the refined skills to manipulate chakra and become doctors."

"Even considering the need to cultivate ninja teamwork, it would be more appropriate to have them directly enter the hospital's preparatory system for training, and after they reach the required standards, to allow those with combat capabilities to join the squad program."

"Yes Yes……"

Tsunade casually agreed.

The only sounds in the office for the time being were the scratching of pens on paper and the occasional clinking of wine glasses on the table.

"Children, apart from their appearance, don't necessarily resemble their parents in other aspects," Tsunade suddenly remarked out of the blue.

"Where did this sudden feeling come from?" Xiu Si paused, his pen still.

Tsunade, holding a wine glass with her eyes closed, said, "Shikaku's son looks about the same size as Shikaku."

"Ding's son is much the same."

"Fugaku's sons are all taciturn."

"So?" Shuuji put down his pen.

"He wasn't very good at it when he was little, but now he's starting to look like a little troublemaker, though he doesn't seem to be very strong in any area..."

Xiu Si got up, walked to the sofa, and sniffed it.

"How many rounds of drinks did you have before you came back?"

The Fifth Hokage immediately made a shooing motion, as if swatting away an annoying fly, and at the same time slammed Naruto's report card onto the coffee table.

Shuji glanced at it and returned to his desk.

"This is the responsibility of the third generation, and has nothing to do with whose child it is."

Putting everything else aside, if Naruto is raised like this, it's a good thing he won't go astray.

Tsunade was still there, shaking her head.

"Hmm, I can't imagine it at all."

"what happened again?"

"Your child."

"If you're drunk, go sleep for a while over there."

"Will your child be an old-fashioned relic like you, or..."

"go out."
