"156, 157, 158"
In the training ground inside the residence of the Shimura clan, a girl with a single ponytail was holding a one-meter-long ninja sword, swinging it at the wooden stake in front of her in a standard posture.
Kizaru, who was holding a box of octopus balls in his hand and eating while walking into the family station and preparing to go home, looked in the direction of the training ground and stopped.
"Oh! You're so hardworking!" After praising him and eating the octopus balls on the sign, Kizaru changed direction and walked towards the training ground.
The sun had already set halfway. Kizaru walked to the edge of the training and saw Shimura Yuki who was practicing hard.
"177, 178, 179" She was concentrating on swinging her sword, and Yuqi didn't notice Kizaru's arrival.
Touching his chin and looking at Yuki who pursed her lips and kept swinging the knife, Kizaru walked into the training ground.
"181,182"
"It won't work like this!" Kizaru's voice sounded as he walked towards Yuqi.
"18" Hearing the sound, Yuqi, who was swinging the knife, stopped suddenly.
Panting, Yuki looked at Kizaru who was walking over.
Putting the knife on the ground, Yuqi raised her hand and tucked the scattered black hair behind her ears.
"Brother Kizaru!" Looking at Kizaru, Yuqi laughed.
"Eat it!"
Handing the octopus ball to Yuki, Kizaru picked up the ninja sword with one hand.
"It's really good!" Kizaru raised the knife, observed it, and commented aloud.
"This is the knife my father left for me." Yuqi said in a low voice, lowering her head and looking at the octopus balls in her hand.
Nodding, Kizaru stretched out his left hand in the air, pressed it on Yuki's head, and rubbed it gently.
"Do you like using knives?" Kizaru asked with a smile as he looked at Yuki.
Looking at Kizaru blankly, Yuki nodded without any hesitation.
Understanding Yuki's intention, Kizaru raised his sword with one hand and struck in the air.
The transparent and shaped vacuum slash shot straight into the sky, scattering the clouds in the sky.
Seeing this scene, Yuqi opened her mouth in surprise and looked at the sky with shining eyes.
"Let's go, have dinner first, and I will introduce you to a teacher tomorrow." Knowing that it would be difficult for Yuki to learn her own swordsmanship due to her physical condition, Kizaru planned to introduce her to a suitable teacher.
"Brother Kizaru, I want to learn from you." Looking at Kizaru with admiration, Yuki begged with a bit of coquettishness.
"My swordsmanship is not suitable for you." Shaking his head, Kizaru refused.
A hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes, and Yu Qi, a well-behaved and sensible person, did not continue to speak.
"Let's go!" Kizaru pressed his left hand on Yuki's head and pushed him.
"Okay, Brother Kizaru!" Obediently lowering his head, Yuki followed Kizaru and left the training ground.
Following Kizaru, Yuki held her own ninja sword and looked up at Kizaru from time to time on the way to eat.
"Brother Kizaru, both Yoshihiko and Minato have applied to graduate early, and I. I also want to graduate early." Looking up at Kizaru, Yuki expressed her inner thoughts.
Feeling that the entire family had been led astray by him, Kizaru put his hands in his pockets and looked at the sky.
"Isn't it good to be in school? Yuqi!"
"But Minato, Yoshihiko and the others."
"You don't need to compare with others, just do your best." Lowering his head, Kizaru looked at Yuki and said with a smile.
Biting her lip, Yuqi hesitated for a moment, then insisted: "I have mastered all the school stuff. I want to graduate early, Brother Kizaru!"
After saying that, Yuki lowered her head, worried that Kizaru would be angry.
"Oh ho ho! It's so awesome! Yuqi!"
To Yuki's surprise, Kizaru didn't blame her, but smiled and praised her.
"Brother Kizaru!" Yuki, who raised her head again and relaxed, looked at the smile on Kizaru's face and started laughing too.
Getting support from Kizaru is the best encouragement for Yuqi!
Her mood became lighter, with her hands behind her back holding the knife, Yuki jumped up and down and followed Kizaru.
Unfortunately, happy time is always short-lived. When Yuki followed Kizaru to Kizaru's residence, a middle-aged and elderly man with a cold face was waiting there.
"Kizaru, come with me." Without any nonsense, Danzo looked at Kizaru and said directly.
"It really ruins the atmosphere! Uncle!" Kizaru said with a smile and touched the back of his head.
"I have something to talk to you about." Danzo continued with an unchanged expression.
Lowering his head, Kizaru looked at Yuki, who looked disappointed, and said loudly: "Sister Keiko is in the house. You go in and eat first. I will be back in a minute."
The patriarch was right in front. Yuqi, who was a little scared, nodded obediently.
Leaving Kizaru and walking in front of Danzo, Yuki politely bowed and called, "Good evening, Patriarch!"
Danzo still had a good attitude towards the children in the clan, and nodded with a smile.
"Go in! Yuqi."
"OK."
After answering, Yuki quickened her pace and ran into Kizaru's courtyard.
After Yuki entered, Danzo looked at Kizaru and said loudly: "Follow me."
After saying that, Danzo turned around and walked towards his residence.
Following Danzo, Kizaru arrived at his residence, and the two of them walked into the house together.
Entering a separate reception room, Kizaru and Danzo sat opposite each other on the tatami.
"Your scientific force proposal was rejected by Hiruzen." After sitting down, Danzo said.
"What a disappointment!" Kizaru sighed after hearing Danzo's words.
"I have already anticipated the outcome of this proposal," Danzo continued, not missing any opportunity to discredit Hiruzen. "The Shimura clan already has someone who controls the roots. Hiruzen, as the Hokage, does not want to see us at the same time. Master two ninja troops.
I originally thought that with Hiruzen's trust in you, there might be a chance to pass this proposal.
But now it seems that Hiruzen doesn't completely trust you! "
Knowing that his uncle started to slander his teacher every day again, just like the teacher usually slandered his uncle, Kizaru laughed.
What two interesting old guys!
"Uncle, do you think it's possible that Sarutobi-sensei is afraid of you?" Kizaru said teasingly, looking at Danzo with a smile.
His chest felt tight, and Danzo felt his blood pressure rising as he looked at Kizaru with a smile on his face.
"Hiruzen and I have been friends for decades." Danzo replied with an emphasis.
"so good!"
"As for your arrangement, Hiruzen hopes that you will go to the ninja school and be responsible for the reform."
After hearing the news conveyed by Danzo, Kizaru touched his chin with interest.
Did he transform from the route of General Kizaru to become a kindergarten principal?
However, it seems good to go to a ninja school.
It's okay for a small amount of money, and it's still a nine-to-five job, with two days off every week.
Thinking of this, Kizaru made a decision.
"What position?" Kizaru asked, looking at Danzo.
"headmaster!"
"Where's the original one?"
"Change to Vice Principal."
"It's so embarrassing!"
Just three years after graduation, Kizaru was a little "embarrassed" when he usurped the position of principal of his school and became the immediate boss of his former class teacher.
"If it goes as expected, you will stay in this position for a long time." Danzo was not satisfied with letting Kizaru go to the ninja school. He preferred that his nephew go to the violence department.
"That's great!" Kizaru clapped his hands and was happy.
"Do you think this position is good?" Danzo asked aloud, dissatisfied with Kizaru's performance.
"Isn't it good? Uncle!" Kizaru asked, looking at Danzo with a smile.
Opening his mouth, thinking about the character of his nephew, Danzo suddenly realized, isn't this Kizaru's favorite position?
What happened, what a mistake!
Danzo, who was originally planning to persuade Kizaru to join him and reconsider with Hiruzen Sarutobi, found that he had been tricked.
Damn old fox!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes, and Danzo wished he could be blown out by a vacuum wave.
"I support your proposal of a scientific force." Looking at Kizaru seriously, Danzo made his last effort.
"No, no! The ninja school is pretty good! Hahaha!" At the end of the sentence, the cheerful Kizaru laughed out loud.
Danzo, who was feeling panicked and found that he had been tricked, was so angry that he could not speak.
