Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

He initially refused, but then suddenly fell into deep thought.

This might not be a bad thing.

The Uchiha clan is currently under too much surveillance.

The clansmen all need to breathe a sigh of relief.

Being on good terms with the Hokage's faction would undoubtedly help achieve one's goals.

Two parts combined. Approximately nine thousand words. I went to a birthday party in the evening, and then had to eat lunch during the day.

Chapter 91 Kakashi's New Identity (First and Second Updates)

"Lord Hokage, this is the entire process of this exam!"

Umino Iruka said excitedly.

Although the Hokage is approachable, it is still very rare to meet him alone.

He never expected that a mere final exam would give him this opportunity.

Furthermore, the Hokage even took the initiative to ask about his work.

Does this mean he's going to get a promotion?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe.

Before him were three exam papers, one each from Aburame Shiki, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto.

The first two were within his expectations, but the latter was too unexpected.

Because of Naruto's previous performance, he could be described as having no achievements whatsoever, a true loser.

Whether in theory or in practice, it's a complete mess.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sometimes doubted whether he had inherited Minato Namikaze's talent.

Looking back now, it seems she did have talent.

Although the theory is still terrible, the practical application has improved.

And most importantly, it's about willpower.

In his battle with Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki displayed a will beyond that of his peers.

Only in this way can one be qualified to become a Jinchūriki and control the power of the Nine-Tails.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his chin.

The reason Naruto Uzumaki changed was because of Shiki Aburame.

He took the initiative to become his friend, which resulted in a positive response.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shiki Aburame's exam paper, a smile spread across his old face.

This child is a genius no less than Itachi Uchiha and Kakashi Hatake.

Their strength is impeccable.

Your understanding of the Will of Fire is excellent.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the exam paper twice and felt a sense of excitement, like spotting a prey.

"A ninja must always put the Will of Fire first, and the interests of the village above all else."

"When faced with temptation, using the Hokage as a reference will help you know what you should and shouldn't do."

You're doing very well.

Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled his usual practice of using a crystal ball to inspect the ninja academy.

Zhihui, the oil lady, is a natural leader; she always manages to gather a large number of partners around her.

Previously, Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat worried that, given his personality, he might turn into Orochimaru.

Now he has discovered that it is a template of Orochimaru plus Minato Namikaze.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be a strong contender for the next Hokage.

The prosperity of Konoha is promising.

As for the next Hokage, he is too young to be eligible.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took another puff of his pipe with a satisfied smile.

Aburame Shiki was Tsunade's student, and Tsunade was his student.

This means the root of the problem lies with him.

"Iruka, you did a good job."

Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped out of his daze and said with a chuckle.

"This is my duty!"

Umino Iruka said modestly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.

It seems he has completely emerged from the shadow of the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Being a teacher has been quite effective.

He then thought of Kakashi Hatake.

Should we let him meet Naruto Uzumaki sooner?

"keep it up."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously, "Once they graduate successfully, you will be qualified to take charge of the entire grade."

"I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Umino Iruka's eyes widened as he spoke excitedly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Go and do your work."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the exam papers on the table and said, "Leave these three exam papers here."

He mainly wanted to carefully consider the answer from Yu Nu Zhi Hui.

Some of the angles are quite novel.

"Yes!"

Umino Iruka answered loudly.

He turned and left, brushing past the incoming members of the secret service.

"Take off your mask."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and put away the exam paper.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at it subconsciously and noticed Sasuke's handwriting.

He nodded thoughtfully.

"Is there a problem?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi scrutinized his expression.

It was relatively calm.

That has most likely nothing to do with the Uchiha clan.

"Sasuke wants to become Kakashi's apprentice."

Itachi Uchiha spoke up.

Whose idea was this?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Fugaku's?"

Iruka Umino had just told him about the practical aspects of the final exam.

He naturally noticed Uchiha Sasuke, who could use two Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh that Fugaku Uchiha had given birth to two excellent sons.

The talents are first-class.

In comparison, his two sons were quite ordinary and unremarkable.

The eldest son is a law-abiding member of the secret service.

But the second son, Sarutobi Asuma, is all about rebellion.

She eventually had a fight with him, left Konoha Village, and became one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja of the Land of Fire.

"It was Zhihui who made the suggestion to Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi replied, "But my father agreed and specifically asked me to come and ask for your opinion."

"Zhihui?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised.

Why is it him again?

Logically speaking, given his age, even if he had heard of Kakashi, he shouldn't know that Kakashi was skilled in Lightning Release.

Unless someone told him.

Oil Woman's Thoughts?

He certainly wouldn't dare interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha clan.

there is only one truth.

Tsunade.

"Itachi."

Hiruzen Sarutobi snapped out of his daze and asked, "What does your father think?"
