Narration system starting from Konoha

[Kong looked completely incredulous, as innocent as a little lamb.]

Kakashi's eyes widened. This wasn't a little lamb; it was a wolf with a black heart.

Task Center.

Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino sized up the Third Hokage. He looked so serious; what was there about him that made him seem like a pervert? Was he just pretending? The Hokage was really good at hiding it; we couldn't even tell.

The Third Generation was shocked. Who had ruined his reputation this time? Could it be that rebellious son, Asuma? His old face was about to be lost.

The Third Generation glared fiercely at Asuma.

“Old man, this time it wasn’t me who said it, it was the narrator who suddenly leaked it.”

Asuma glanced at it but didn't see the crystal ball that the Third Hokage used for spying. He'd like to study it sometime when he got his hands on it.

Asuma's expression changed drastically. "It's over! I didn't expect my true nature to be exposed. I hope Kurenai doesn't know what happened today, otherwise everything will be for nothing."

[Shikamaru and his two friends nodded in agreement. So Asuma-sensei was secretly pursuing Kurenai-sensei.]

The third generation nodded secretly. He was quite satisfied with Kurenai Yuhi; it wouldn't be bad if she could become his daughter-in-law.

"Ahem, the narrator sometimes likes to joke around, so don't take it seriously."

The Third Hokage was eager to distance himself from his past actions; as Hokage, he needed to leave a positive image in the village.

The three generations had a good plan; the three disciples they trained each pursued a different path—gambling, prostitution, and drugs—perfectly inheriting the lifestyle of the three generations.

"No, don't talk nonsense, how could that be?"

The third generation retorted verbally, but upon recalling the conduct of his three disciples, he was too ashamed to argue.

[Who are the three disciples of Naruto? I've never heard of them before, a question flashed through Ino's mind.]

Choji only has eyes for potato chips, oblivious to everything else, focusing solely on eating large potato chips.

"Alright, Asuma, ignore the narrator's jokes and come over here to take over your shift's tasks."

Asuma discovers the secret of the narration: the more people there are, the more active the narrator becomes; conversely, when there are no people, the narrator appears much less frequently.

It seems Asuma's IQ has improved after spending a few days with Shikamaru.

Asuma's lips twitched, and he said with dissatisfaction, "I have a very high IQ, okay?"

[The immature teenager only thinks he's hot-blooded and never thinks he has a problem with his intelligence. Otherwise, he wouldn't have disagreed with his father's beliefs, left the village in a fit of anger, and become a guardian ninja for many years.]

"Asuma-sensei, what is a Guardian Ninja?" Ino asked Asuma curiously.

[The Guardian Ninja are the bodyguard ninjas who served the Daimyo. They left Konoha and became subordinate to the Daimyo. This history alone is enough to exclude Asuma from the Hokage ranks.]

Although Asuma's strength was insufficient to become Hokage, the Third Hokage still had high hopes for him. The father was as cunning as a monkey, and the son as stupid as a pig; Asuma's intelligence was indeed worrying.

"Shut up."

Asuma became furious when the narrator revealed his true feelings.

[The third generation was somewhat gloating; it wouldn't be bad to let the unfilial son experience how he felt back then.]

"Old man, I never thought you were this kind of person."

"You still have the nerve to criticize me? Get the mission over with and get out of here."

Ino and Shikamaru were a little disappointed; it was so exciting, like watching a play, and it ended so quickly.

Shikamaru and Ino's expressions changed drastically; they hadn't expected the narrator to expose them.

"Peng, Peng"

Asuma's fist rang out above their heads, and after accepting the mission, she walked out without looking back.

Goodbye, Hokage.

Ino plans to go back and tell her mother to go to the Konoha bathhouse less often, because someone might be spying on her with a crystal ball sometime during the day.

The Third Hokage coughed repeatedly; it was all over. His later years were in danger, and who knew what other unpleasant rumors would circulate about Konoha in the future.

At that moment, the Third Hokage even considered abdicating and passing the throne to a more capable successor, but he soon realized that after so many years, Konoha still had no suitable heir.

Sakumo Hatake committed suicide due to power struggles among the higher-ups; the Fourth Hokage died while sealing the Tailed Beasts; the Legendary Sannin of Konoha either defected or went abroad.

It was only at this moment that the Third Hokage realized that Konoha was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, relying entirely on a few old men to maintain appearances.

Unfortunately, Danzo's ambition was to become Hokage; at the crucial moment, he preferred to watch the Third Hokage die rather than let Root intervene.

The Third Hokage's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Shut up!"

The third generation was somewhat embarrassed and angry after the narrator exposed their shortcomings.

Chapter Fifteen: A Young Man Doesn't Know the Sweetness of a Kept Man's Rice

"Mrs. Meihui actually gave us extra money, so we can eat better this time."

Naruto was laughing so hard his eyes were almost closed.

He slapped Naruto on the head.

"Poor child, you're so happy about a thousand dollars."

[Kong glanced at Kakashi, seeing how pitiful Naruto was, shouldn't Kakashi-sensei treat him to a meal? After all, he's the Fourth Hokage's son.]

Kakashi suddenly clutched his heart, fearing he might have a heart attack. He had already figured it out; Kong was taking advantage of him like a sheep.

"Haha, Kakashi-sensei is joking. He absolutely didn't mean to take advantage of us. I bet Asuma-sensei doesn't even want to see us right now."

The idea of ​​a group dinner is definitely off the table. We might as well get together on our own, chat about the future, and maybe even strengthen our relationships.

[Kong Xin was unsure. Kakashi-sensei wouldn't be so stingy, would he? No way, a Jonin without a wife or children, earning so much money, could he possibly use it for...that kind of thing?]

Kakashi's face darkened visibly.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm a respectable person. How could I do such a thing?"

“Kakashi-sensei is right,” Sora affirmed.

[An explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. Seeing Kakashi's hurried attempt to defend himself, Sora became even more certain.]

"Kakashi-sensei, Sora, have you guys finished the mission too?"

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Shikamaru's team appear.

"Shikamaru, where is Asuma-sensei? He's nowhere to be found."

[Ku looked left and right but couldn't find Asuma. Had he run away?]

A fleeting look of embarrassment crossed Shikamaru's face as he said, "Asuma-sensei had to leave first."

Asuma tries to steal the Third Hokage's crystal ball to spy on the bathhouse, but is scolded by the Third Hokage. In a fit of pique, he decides to go for a walk outside the village.

A group of people stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe it.

[Unexpectedly, Asuma, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is just like the Third Hokage—a total lecher. Asuma's story changed the subject, much to Kakashi's delight.]

[Kakashi-sensei is really bold, daring to call the Hokage a pervert. Ku quickly writes this down; it'll be great material to blackmail Kakashi-sensei.]

"Ahem, Sora, don't talk nonsense. That's what the narrator said. How can you say it's me? Since Asuma isn't here, let me treat you all to a meal today."

What Sora said before was right; this is a good opportunity to build rapport. This time, let's skip the ramen and have some barbecue.

Kakashi was getting a little irritated by what Sora said, so he planned to shut him up with some roasted meat. Even if that didn't work, he could bribe all the members of Team 7 and Team 10, leaving Sora alone so he couldn't cause any trouble.

Sora seemed to have heard something unbelievable and shouted:

"Kakashi-sensei is so insidious. He actually used this method to deal with a recent graduate. My mind has been corrupted. I have become impure."

Is this what the backstabbing and intrigue among adults looks like? It's truly treacherous.

Kakashi suddenly realized that he was the innocent child, and that Uchiha Sora was a treacherous demon. Having such a mischievous kid like him meant that beating him eight times a day would be the least of his worries.

"Kong, are you going or not? If you're not going, I'll treat all six of them."

“Yes, of course I’ll go. Actually, I know that Professor Cassie is a good person. It’s all the narration’s doing. From today onwards, I will not listen to anything the narrator says.”

[After watching another great show, Shikamaru, who is usually a lazy bum, finds that his boring life seems to have become more interesting since the narrator started appearing.]

[Shikamaru and his friends watched the Hokage and Asuma fight, and now they're watching Kakashi and Sora fight. What an exciting day!]

[Shikamaru's expression immediately became interesting. He hadn't expected the narrator to guess his thoughts. But as long as he pretended not to care, everyone would definitely say that the narrator was talking nonsense. Kakashi-sensei just used this trick to fool everyone.]

Sora sighed, "Tsk tsk, people's hearts are corrupt. Naruto, you've never had barbecue before, have you?"

"The best I've ever eaten is Ichiraku Ramen. There's no food that can compare to Ichiraku Ramen."

He pretended to be an experienced person, but in reality, he had never eaten it either. Or perhaps he had, but couldn't remember it at all. Who knows?

Sakura looked at Sasuke sadly. She knew that Sasuke and Sora were brothers, and she could tell what kind of life Sasuke led by observing Sora's lifestyle.

Sasuke scoffed; he was destined to become a strong person and didn't need anyone's sympathy.

Kakashi shook his head, suddenly realizing that he wasn't a very good teacher, as he didn't understand his students at all.

"Kakashi-sensei, don't worry about it later. With Choji and Naruto, two big eaters, Kakashi-sensei's wallet is going to suffer a huge loss today."

Kakashi's guilt was replaced by heartache, and he then remembered that there was still an Akimichi clansman in Team 10.

Kakashi kept giving Choji meaningful glances, trying to get him to go easy on him.

Choji's mind was completely occupied with the grilled meat, and he couldn't even notice Kakashi's gaze.

Kakashi sighed, "Oh no, I'm definitely going to have to spend a lot of money today." Meanwhile, Sora secretly chuckled, "I'll save on a meal and have a big feast."

It wasn't until 9 p.m., with the bright moon high in the sky, that the group finally helped each other out of the barbecue restaurant.

Kakashi looked utterly dejected.

Sora turned to look at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi-sensei, when we become Jonin, we'll definitely treat you to barbecue and make up for today's meal."

[Since I don't have to keep my word now, I might as well make empty promises. I think that given my current state, I probably won't become a Jonin within ten years.]

Sasuke scoffed, "What a useless guy. He won't even become a Jonin in ten years. What kind of ninja is he? He should just get married now and strengthen the Uchiha clan."

[Ku was stunned for a moment, not expecting Sasuke to have become so clever, learning to use Ku's own words to refute himself. Was this a case of lifting a rock only to drop it on his own foot?]

"Erzhuzi, I'll let you get married and strengthen the Uchiha clan, but you have to support me. I'm not comfortable living in this high-rise apartment we're in now. You need to buy me a detached house with a yard, the kind that can fit ten kids."

[Hmph, with the meager amount of money you, Uchiha Sasuke, earn from missions every day, you'd be lucky to even support yourself.]
