Chapter 244: Mentor.
[Today is May 520th, wishing all readers with partners a long and lasting relationship. I envy those of you with partners. Don't be fooled by my penchant for writing without a female lead; I actually envy those in love.]
After settling the distraught Tsunade down, Manji turned and left the morgue.
Arrived at the Hokage's office
The Fifth Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat behind his desk, a pipe dangling from his lips, a look of self-reproach in his eyes.
"It is my fault for failing in my duties as Hokage."
"I couldn't even protect the grandson of the Second Hokage, Nawaki...
Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with deep sorrow.
He stood upright in front of the table, his posture as straight as a pine tree.
He didn't believe that Hiruzen Sarutobi would grieve for Nawaki.
I remember when Hiruzen Sarutobi's father died, I heard from White Zetsu that Hiruzen Sarutobi was drinking with Danzo.
I heard that he dragged Danzo out for drinks right in front of Sarutobi Sasuke's grave.
Wanci spoke calmly: "Hokage, there's no need to blame yourself. On the battlefield, life and death are inherently unpredictable."
A simple sentence.
"well....."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed deeply, tapping his pipe lightly against the ashtray.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at Manji, his gaze earnest: "Don't rush to the battlefield of the Land of Wind these next few days."
"With Shuo Mao keeping an eye on things over there, nothing will go wrong."
"You should stay in Konoha and spend more time with Tsunade. That girl is stubborn, and only you can help her overcome her inner turmoil."
Having lived to this age, Hiruzen Sarutobi has always had a keen eye for people.
He had already seen the emotions in Tsunade's eyes when she looked at Manji.
That's why he felt that only Manji's presence could slightly soothe Tsunade's pain at losing her brother.
"it is good."
Wan Ci did not refuse, but simply nodded slightly in agreement.
"There's one more thing."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused, his tone softening slightly.
"I would like to ask you to serve as a Jonin leader for one term while you stay in the village. Of course, if you are unwilling, please just say so, and I will not force you."
Upon hearing this, Wan Ci's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, and he asked, "Which children do you want me to take care of?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out, picked up a scroll, and slowly unrolled it.
The ink-black handwriting was clearly written on the paper, and the three names were clearly visible.
"Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Shinnosuke Sarutobi."
Upon seeing these three names, Wanci's gaze sharpened slightly, then he nodded knowingly.
These three children are indeed extraordinary.
Minato Namikaze, a commoner genius who has emerged from Konoha in recent years, possesses top-notch comprehension and resilience.
Kushina Uzumaki, a girl from the Land of Whirlpools, was chosen by Konoha as the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He was the one who personally brought her back to Konoha from the destroyed Land of Whirlpools.
As for Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he was the only son of the Fifth Hokage and perfectly inherited Hiruzen Sarutobi's five elemental abilities.
"Are you willing?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyes, his gaze filled with undisguised anticipation.
His arrangement was driven by both personal and public motives.
His selfish motive was to allow his most valued son to learn from this universally acknowledged top ninja, to hone his character, and improve his skills.
Currently, the only five strongest cultivators in the village are myself and Manji.
His motives were for the sake of Minato and Kushina.
Looking across the entire Hidden Leaf Village, there is no teacher more suitable than Manji.
He and Minato were both geniuses from humble backgrounds, so they were bound to understand each other better.
Kushina was brought back to Konoha by Manji, so the two of them will definitely get along well.
Wan hesitated slightly upon hearing this.
To be honest, I didn't want to be the team leader.
The main ones are Minato Namikaze and Kushina, who are the parents of the next Ashura reincarnation.
I'm afraid that this relationship might lead to other problems.
"Fine, do whatever you want."
I've come to terms with it in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, leave it to me."
Wan nodded slightly and accepted the task.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
A gentle breeze blows on the rooftop.
Wanci stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly sweeping over the three boys and girls in front of him whose eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
"My name is Wanci, and from today onwards, I will be your mentor."
As soon as the words were spoken, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three people.
Kushina Uzumaki never expected that Rokudo would become her teacher.
Minato Namikaze felt a jolt in his heart, and his fingertips tightened slightly.
This is Konoha's undisputed number one commoner genius.
No, he is the true number one all-around genius in Konoha!
To be able to become his disciple is an opportunity that many people would rather die for.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes were filled with burning admiration, and his fists were clenched so tightly they were trembling.
He also followed the path of mastering the five elements, but he didn't admire his father, who was known as the "professor of ninjutsu," from the bottom of his heart. He only idolized the man in front of him.
Ten thousand uses of the Five Elements—that's what he imagined a true genius should look like.
"Brother Liudao! No, no, it's Teacher!"
"I am Kushina Uzumaki! My dream is to become the first female Hokage in Konoha history!"
Kushina spoke first, her voice crisp and clear.
Kushina nodded slightly, becoming more cheerful and more aligned with the original story than before.
I remember when Kushina Uzumaki first came to Konoha, she was quite timid.
He is now noticeably more outgoing and cheerful.
"Hello, Mr. Manji, I am Minato Namikaze."
"My dream is to become the first Hokage from a commoner background in Konoha. Please take good care of me."
Minato immediately composed himself and bowed respectfully.
Wan nodded slightly.
Minato Namikaze, a gentleman of modesty and gentleness, as warm and refined as jade.
It's still the same as the original story.
"Teacher! I am Sarutobi Shinnosuke!"
"I'm your number one fan! My dream is to become the second Hokage in Konoha to master all five elemental jutsu!"
Shinnosuke took a big step forward, his voice booming.
Manji nodded. This must be Sarutobi Konohamaru's father from the original work.
According to the original work, Sarutobi Konohamaru calls Asuma "Uncle".
Hiruzen Sarutobi only had two sons, Asuma Sarutobi and Shinnosuke Sarutobi.
Therefore, it can be inferred that Sarutobi Shinnosuke may be Konohamaru's father, but he died young and thus never appeared in public.
Wanci glanced at the group of them and rubbed his temples.
Do they all want to become Hokage?
"Alright, then I hereby declare the First Team of Konoha established!"
Wan clapped his hands slightly and said.
Next, Wanci did not organize any bell training.
Wanci felt that those things were somewhat unnecessary and didn't need to be done.
That afternoon, Wanci led three people to choose an A-level mission to carry out.
"Ten thousand times, this A-level mission is really difficult!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Manji's squad with some concern.
Although all three of them are geniuses, Hiruzen Sarutobi was still a little worried that they would immediately try to take on an A-rank mission.
"No need to film, I've worked countless shifts, I'm never afraid of high-level tasks."
Wanci directly took over and said.
Aren't you worried about making a mistake?
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked hesitantly.
Wan shook his head repeatedly.
It would be strange if I made a mistake.
Unless the mission is to clear the Otsutsuki Ancestral Star without taking any damage with three people.
