Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

On the Hokage Building in Konoha.

The Third Hokage was sitting alone in his Hokage seat, fiddling with his crystal ball.

Because his attention has been focused on the Third Shinobi World War recently, he hasn't been spying on Konoha for quite some time...

Today he took out the crystal ball again, wanting to see what was happening in Konoha.

Just as the third generation had tuned the crystal ball to the campus romance channel, suddenly, someone pushed open the door and entered the office.

"Hmm!"

The third generation hurriedly covered the crystal ball with a cloth.

The person who entered was none other than Tsunade.

Yesterday afternoon, she was chased and harassed by debt collectors.

Fortunately, it was already dark by then, which made it easier for Tsunade to escape.

So in the end, she managed to evade the debt collectors...

After Tsunade burst into the office, she found the Third Hokage looking flustered.

"Huh? Teacher, what are you doing?"

The third generation quickly spoke:

"Nothing, nothing... What brings you here?"

Tsunade ignored the Third Hokage's strange behavior, plopped down in a chair, and ruffled her hair haphazardly, saying:

"Ugh, I'm so annoyed, there's no more alcohol to drink."

Upon hearing this, the third generation's face instantly darkened:

"Did you go gambling again?"

Yesterday, Konoha just paid Tsunade her salary, and today she came to complain that she had no money for drinks...

It's obvious that Tsunade has gambled away all her money again!

It's common knowledge that Tsunade is a gambler, but even though the Third Hokage was Tsunade's teacher, he couldn't easily interfere with her.

After all, Tsunade is also the granddaughter of the First Hokage...

The Third Hokage, in his capacity as Hokage, severely criticized Tsunade:

"The situation on the front lines is so tense right now, you need to behave yourself!"

Tsunade ignored the Third Hokage's teachings and stood up, preparing to extort more money from him.

She walked up to the third-generation desk with a mischievous grin...

But just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed a personnel list on the third generation's table.

The list shows several small teams that have been assigned, and these are people who will soon be sent out on missions.

One team is already fully staffed.

They are:

Kakashi Hatake (Captain) - Jonin, Rin Nohara - Chunin, Obito Uchiha - Chunin.

The mission is classified as "Top Secret".

The other squad column reads:

Kurenai Yuhi - Chunin, Asuma Sarutobi - Chunin.

The captain's column was marked with the note: "Lacking sensory ninja candidates."

Tsunade pointed curiously at the mission list and asked:

"What is this?"

Tsunade is an absolute member of Konoha's inner circle, so her seeing top-secret documents doesn't count as a leak.

When the Third Hokage saw Tsunade asking a question, he handed her the document and said:

"Oh, that's perfect. I'm still short one captain's position. Are there any sensory ninjas in the village that you know well? I need them to guide Kurenai and Asuma on their mission."

Tsunade took the personnel list, stared at the empty space in that column, and murmured:

"A sensory-type ninja..."

It would have been better if those five words hadn't been mentioned, because the moment they were, a hateful face would appear in Tsunade's mind.

Kumamoto Ransuke, yesterday this sensory ninja put himself in a very embarrassing situation!

Tsunade threw down the personnel list and said unhappily:

"Hmph! There is actually one guy who would be suitable."

"Oh?"

"Kumamoto Ransuke, fill in this guy."

"Kumamoto's chaotic show? Who's this?"

The third generation frowned upon hearing the name; he had never heard of it before.

Is this a sensory ninja?

However, since it was Tsunade who recommended this person, there probably won't be any problems.

The third generation finally relaxed his brow, picked up his pen, and asked:

"Alright. Kumamoto Ransuke, is he a Chunin?"

This question stumped Tsunade. She didn't know what level of ninja Ranshu was; she only knew that Ranshu wasn't from Konoha.

Therefore, Tsunade could only make a conservative guess:

"I don't know, I guess I'll just be a genin."

The third generation stopped writing, a look of disbelief on their faces:

"A genin? How can a genin be the captain of two chunin?"

To everyone's surprise, Tsunade pointed disdainfully with her chin at the personnel list on the table:

"This mission is so simple, just send a genin."

"Well……"

That's true; the third generation had sent their son to the simplest task possible...

The third generation didn't want to delve deeper into this issue, so they had to compromise:

"Alright, then."

When Tsunade saw the Third Hokage's appearance, she recalled the confident and composed demeanor of Ran Shu when he was identifying the girl yesterday.

Finally, Tsunade earnestly said to the Third Hokage:

"Don't worry, this guy... is actually quite smart."

……

In front of the Konoha Orphanage.

Luanxiu never expected that the little white dog that was barking was Ah Zhen's pet, and that its name really was Snow Leopard...

However, snow leopards don't bark randomly.

The snow leopard barks because someone has come to this area.

Let's see who's coming from afar, family...

Ranshu looked up and saw that it was Nohara Rin and Uchiha Obito... as well as a masked boy with gray hair!

It's not surprising that Rin and Obito showed up here and started acting all high and mighty.

But he didn't expect...

Kakashi came too!

Kakashi Hatake, 12 years old, has just been promoted to Jonin.

The legendary son of Konoha's White Fang, a genius boy of Konoha, the future unit of chakra measurement, a man more deserving of the title "50/50" than Awei from the orphanage.

Lin saw Luanxiu from afar and immediately started waving her hand:

"Hey! Random Show!"

Luanxiu stood up, dusted off his hands, and replied:

Hello.

As the three-person team approached the orphanage, Luanxiu sent Awei and the others off to play.

Ranshu greeted Rin and the others, nodding to Rin and Obito in turn, and finally looking at Kakashi with a questioning gaze:

"Rin, Obito. And this is...?"

Lin happily introduced it to Luanxiu:

"Ranshu, this is Kakashi Hatake, a member of our team. The three of us are all members of Minato's team."

Ranshu, feigning an air of "I've heard so much about you," said to Kakashi:

"Hello there."

Kakashi glanced at Ranshu with his dead fish eyes.

After meeting Lin and the others this morning, he heard that Lin had just made a new friend.

According to Obito's description, this new friend is quite handsome, and Rin is especially kind to him...

This made Kakashi feel a little resentful.

Now that he has actually seen Ranshu, he can't help but observe Ranshu carefully.

Hmm...he is indeed very handsome, about equal to me...

Kakashi thought to himself.

Then, Kakashi, displaying a slightly condescending attitude, responded to Ranshu's greeting:

"Hello, I am a Jonin of Konoha, Kakashi Hatake."

Ranshu shook Kakashi's hand, thinking:

Who asked you...?

However, Luanxiu didn't pay too much attention to it, and instead looked up and asked Lin:

"What are you doing here?"

Rin tightened the ninja tool belt on her back and said:

"The Watergate team is heading out on a mission, and we just happened to be passing by, so we thought we'd drop by and say hello. Looks like you're settling in well here!"
