"That bastard Boruto must have used us as an excuse to fool around again."
"The last time Aunt Hinata asked, I was the one covering him up. No matter how much he asks me this time, I will tell Aunt Hinata the truth."
With angry voices, a pair of little guys about twelve years old walked into the burger restaurant.
Both have black hair, and the family emblem on the back of their clothes resembles a table tennis racket. It is obvious that both of them are from the Uchiha clan.
"Master."
The cashier at the front desk obviously knew the two little guys in front of him, as the son of the current Uchiha clan leader Uchiha Yun: Uchiha Yu.
Uchiha Yu scratched his head helplessly: "Please don't call me that? The burger restaurant is the property of the clan, so it is not appropriate to call me that."
The cashier still had a smile on his face: "In order to let people like us without talent have jobs, Master Yun has handed over such a profitable industry to the clan to take care of. We know these benefits."
Unable to change, Uchiha Yu could only order something, insisted on paying, and then found a seat with Sarana.
After sitting down, Zuo Liangna suppressed a smile and said: "No wonder you don't want to come to the burger restaurant every time I ask you to come. It turns out that's the case... But this time, why didn't you refuse to come here?"
Yu spread his hands: "I always felt a little social in the past, but now... In fact, as long as I can control my heart, it doesn't matter. It's just embarrassing."
"I am me, and my father is my father. Although I have wanted to get rid of this background because of my ridiculous self-esteem since I was a child, but I have almost figured it out now."
Got it?
Zuo Liangna looked at Xiang Yu: "Uncle Yun...are you free to teach you recently?"
Yu's eyes widened: "What? Can't I figure it out myself?"
Zuo Liangna chuckled: "When you were a child, your personality was not much different from Boruto's. You were hypocritical! Boruto's current change is not thanks to Uncle Yun... I remember that at that time, Aunt Hinata came to express her gratitude. The Fourth Generation The Hokage and his family are all gone."
"call……"
Uchiha breathed out, and that was actually the case.
But the so-called class is actually a lonely journey for an orphan. Unknowingly, he stepped into genjutsu, and the identity change allowed him to experience an ordinary life without a father, a mother, or even a Sharingan.
Six years old! At the age of six, you have to find ways to make ends meet, and at the age of six, you have to do everything by yourself.
Returning from twelve years old to six years old, he lost his identity as the Uchiha clan, lost his identity as the eldest son of the strongest man in the ninja world, and forgot all the ninjutsu and early education from the Uchiha clan.
An illusion graduation trip made him understand that the so-called self-reliance and surpassing his father were just hypocrisy caused by his own pride.
After that, he could clearly feel that his personality had changed a lot.
At the very least, most of the pride that shouldn't exist has been eliminated.
"Let's talk about that bastard. According to speculation, we may be in the same class in this batch of students, just like the seventh class, which was the strongest at the time of the Godaime."
Yu said and laughed at himself: "Forget it, it's not as good as the Fifth Generation's Class 7. I heard that when the Fifth Generation graduated, Uncle Sasuke had already activated the Mangekyō Sharingan."
Sarana shook her head slightly: "It's really not comparable. And I heard... In fact, at that time, the strongest in Class 7 was Aunt Hinata. Dad and the Fifth Hokage were both inferior to Aunt Hinata."
Yu spread his hands: "So it's better to inherit the formation of Class 7. The Mangekyō Sharingan is not even the strongest. Now I understand why Mr. Shino always says that we are the worst class."
"It's not the worst..."
A voice sounded, and a guy with a particularly high hairline who was exactly the same as Shikamaru came over.
Yu made room and Shikadai sat down.
"My dad has always said that we have high expectations for this period. Although I can't guess the reason, because no matter how you look at it, we are far behind."
Shikadai said and looked around: "Isn't that Boruto guy with you? It seems that Hokage-sama needs to take a leave of absence and go home early tonight, so dad can probably come back early."
Uchiha Yu smiled and said: "That guy... he doesn't even dare to go to the Uchiha clan now. I guess he was scared by my dad last time."
"Dong dong dong."
Zoliana knocked on the table, interrupting their chat.
"What we need to discuss today is the graduation exam, and there is also the assessment of instructing Jonin after being divided into classes!"
At this time, the waiter brought the food over.
Originally, the burger restaurant required diners to pick up the burgers themselves after calling their number, but because of Uchiha Haha,...
"The treatment for following the young master of the Uchiha family is indeed different. The class divisions have become more and more solid..."
Shikadai said as he looked out the window, the hurried crowd seemed to be busy with the day's work.
From the usual chats between Shikamaru and his grandfather Shikaku, Shikadai could imagine part of what the ninja world was like more than ten years ago.
In more than ten years, through repeated reforms and explorations, peaceful development has become the mainstream of the five major countries, and hunger and cold have become a thing of the past.
The popularity of trams has also made traveling a very convenient thing.
Even a small country that is still experiencing constant disputes and wars would never dare to pursue the idea of a tram.
But as more than ten years have passed, class hierarchies have gradually solidified.
It is precisely because of this that grandpa and father are planning to cut down a group of people. It seems that it is not only the wealthy people in the group, but also some bloated institutions established in the early stages of reform.
"As long as there is a system, privileges will inevitably exist. But those who have privileges need to be clear-headed and clearly understand why this privilege exists."
Yu sat down and took a sip of Coke: "The fifth generation of Junzizawa will be killed. My father said to Uchiha a long time ago: personal glory belongs to Uchiha, but Uchiha's glory does not belong to the individual."
These words made Zuo Lianna's eyes light up: "Only Uncle Yun can say such slang. Dad and Uncle Shisui also said that it was Uncle Yun who changed Uchiha's destiny."
Shikadai looked at Yu with some confusion: "Have you accepted the reality?"
Yu spread his hands: "People always have to recognize reality. Identity and bloodline can give me an unparalleled foundation. With this foundation and my efforts, there may not be a day in the future when my father will be honored because of me. Isn't it? ?”
Zuo Lianna gave a thumbs up: "Courage is commendable. No one has had this kind of courage for many years, but I support you!"
"Also, I still want to say... When we get together, we are going to discuss the graduation exam and the assessment after class placement."
Shikadai swallowed the burger in his mouth: "It shouldn't be a big problem. Originally, I thought Yu's character would be the biggest problem, but now it should be simple."
Sarana asked: "Can you reveal who the Jonin teacher is?"
Shikadai smiled and said: "This question should be asked to Boruto? Is it more appropriate? But that's right. It's midnight when Hokage comes home from get off work, and he goes to bed early every day playing crazy."
"I can't guess, but you must be special. After all, you are the descendants of the strongest Team 7, plus the strongest in the ninja world..."
"boom!!"
A huge explosion interrupted Shikadai's words, and the three of them stood up at the same time and looked over.
"That direction...is the Scientific Research Department II, right?"
Shikadai frowned and did not reply to Sarana's words. He was thinking about some previous conversations between his father and grandfather.
The research direction of the Second Scientific Research Department is completely different from that of the original Scientific Research One. The First Scientific Research Department, chaired by Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, focuses on the development of living things and the human body's own power.
The desert greening in the Kingdom of Wind, as well as a series of new seeds and fertilizers, are all from the Scientific Research Department.
The trams leading to various parts of the Ninja World, as well as the construction of base stations connecting various villages, and a series of modern constructions, all came from the Second Scientific Research Department.
Previously, there was information leakage, or false information spread by some people: Konoha's scientific research department has mastered the technology of immortality.
Regarding the authenticity of the intelligence, Shikadai, who eavesdropped, did not know.
But according to his mind, based on the information he has obtained so far, regardless of the authenticity of this information, it is inevitable that it will attract the prying eyes of the leaders of various groups and small countries.
When the Daming Mansion still existed, even if history was pushed back to the Warring States Period, the temptation of eternal life to those in power was absolute.
After a period of calm, I originally thought that Konoha's power had stopped everyone's greed, but now it seems that even Konoha, the strongest in the ninja world and the center of decision-making in the five major ninja villages, still cannot dispel those people's long-term vision of longevity. desire.
Even if the news is false.
But under the premise that Konoha's long-term scientific research results are endless, those guys who long for immortality will inevitably take it seriously.
Perhaps this was the purpose of the person who spread the information.
"It's troublesome..."
Frowning Shikadai rubbed his brows.
Uchiha Yu on the side said doubtfully: "Even if the scientific research department explodes, it shouldn't be a big problem. With dad here, unless the Uzumaki Sora of Amegakure Village comes knocking, it won't be any trouble."
At this time, figures passed by in an instant, heading in the direction of the Scientific Research Department.
The members of the Uchiha clan in the security force were also among them, but as soon as they reached the entrance of the burger restaurant, they were stopped by three ANBU wearing masks.
"Lord Hokage ordered that the ANBU directly under the Hokage will be fully responsible for this incident. The security forces need to maintain order in the village!"
An Uchiha from the security force stepped forward and patted the other person's shoulder without any scruples: "You think you don't recognize me when you are wearing a mask? But in this case, I'm afraid everyone will take the rumors that were said before. …”
The ANBU took a step back: "I am now the ANBU directly under the Hokage, don't tell me my identity!"
"Okay, okay, you go ahead. If there are still people in the security force here, I will help you stop them."
As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Go back to the tribe to drink in the evening. I don't know what kind of hard-headed bastard you are, but you think it's twenty years ago? Haha!"
The helpless Anbu glanced at him and left immediately. This guy was a famous chatterbox in the clan. It was for this reason that he failed the Anbu's assessment and could only serve in the security force.
If you don't leave, your identity may be revealed in the next second. At that time, you will have to bear a punishment when you go back.
…
At the burger restaurant, Uchiha saw the tribesman preparing to leave and quickly stepped forward to say hello and ask.
Because of the conversation just now, it was obvious that even the security forces knew a lot, and this man was famous for being loose-tongued.
After a while, Uchiha Yu came back.
After looking at each other, Shikadai said: "If the information is false, then it is obvious that someone wants to deal with Konoha."
Shikadai nodded: "If it is true, then the enemy's purpose is to muddy the water so as to have a chance to obtain the latest achievements of this scientific research department."
Zuo Liangna on the side was a little confused.
what's going on?
Why can't she understand anything?
The rumor spread widely, but obviously it had nothing to do with the students who had just graduated from the ninja school, even if Shikadai learned about it through eavesdropping.
…
Scientific Research Department.
Orochimaru walked unhurriedly to the door of the exploding laboratory. Small white snakes spread around him, and within a moment they poured into the laboratory.
"The detonating talisman...this kind of thing is of little use if you don't multiply the detonating talisman and the courage to die together."
Orochimaru looked upwards, where there were three guys dressed as businessmen. Their faces were livid at the moment, they were already poisoned and restrained by giant pythons.
One of them held their trophy, a sealed box, in his hand.
"So you don't hesitate to offend Konoha, and all you get in the end is this thing?"
Under complete ridicule, one of the trembling people across from him raised his head slightly: "Who can resist such a temptation of immortality? We failed, but even Konoha cannot resist everyone's prying eyes."
"Hiss...immortality?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, and his snake tail swept the iron brother to the ground.
When the lid was opened, there was just an empty glass tube inside.
In this scene, the three of them clearly knew that they and others had made a mistake. When they sneaked in at that time, the most eye-catching safe turned out to be an empty box.
"Eternal life..."
"Human beings are born with the need to face death. From the Warring States Period to the Damingfu Period, war and chaos prevented most people from waiting until the end of their lives. But those in power often feel that their lifespan is not enough."
"The soul transfers to acquire the body, revitalize the cells, steal life span, or... resurrect again."
"There are many ways to live forever, but none of them does not require strong strength to support it."
"As far as I know, there is only one who can definitely live forever. But in the entire history of the ninja world, how many people have reached his level?"
As soon as the words fell, the three intruders were no longer breathing.
From beginning to end, Orochimaru's words seemed to be nothing more than talking to himself.
