The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

If one is not careful, and gets controlled by the negative emotions within chakra, it is indeed easy to lose oneself.

"Yes, I understand what you mean, Kurama. I will be careful, and it is indeed time to find a time to test your power!"

Mianma spoke in a slightly low voice.

"Hmph, that's your own business! I will only do what we agreed on beforehand. As for anything else? I have no interest in any of it."

Nine-Tailed Fox snorted again, then lay down on its fox head once more, which seemed somewhat hypocritical.

This made Mianma chuckle to himself.

However, he did not expose the Nine-Tails.

Maintaining this kind of relationship is enough for Mianma.

Next.

'This is the official stage!'

Menma glanced back at the Hokage Building standing not far away, a faint glimmer of light appearing in his pupils at that moment.

Chapter 20 Reporting and Selection

At the same time that Menma was methodically walking down the path he had set for himself, on the other side, Iruka, having finished his day's classes, did not stay at school or return home, but instead went to the Hokage Building that Menma was looking at.

Unlike ordinary teachers in other ordinary classes.

There are many important people in the class that Iruka is in charge of.

Even without mentioning Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke.

The students below, such as Shikamaru, Ino, Shino, Choji, and Kiba, are all emerging members of the next generation of the major ninja clans in the village. Just based on this point alone, Iruka, at least in terms of his special status, is superior to other teachers in the past few years.

Iruka would come to the Hokage Building every few days to report on the situation.

Especially Menma and Sasuke.

The two of them are definitely the highest level of attention.

One has the Nine-Tails inside him, and the other has an older brother with the Mangekyou Sharingan awakened to take care of him.

The Konoha F4 leadership, led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, must be treated with utmost care.

Iruka was well aware of this, and in his daily education, he paid close attention to the students' academic progress and, most importantly, their mental outlook.

Today, I am here to give my regular report in accordance with the orders of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. This is also the last and most important report before graduation.

"Lord Hokage!"

I navigated the stairwell with ease.

This is the Hokage's private office.

Upon entering, Iruka knelt on one knee, looking respectfully at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was still diligently working on documents at the head of the table, and bowed his head to greet him.

"Ah? It's Iruka. No need for formalities. Please get up. Wait a moment while I finish reading this document."

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

After bowing his head slightly in response, Iruka slowly stood up, stood with his hands clasped in front of him, and waited quietly.

Not long after.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also finished processing the last document.

He looked up at Iruka, who was sitting at the lower end of the table.

"Iruka."

With a soft shout.

"Yes, Third Generation Lord, this is the list."

Iruka immediately understood, stepped forward, and handed a document he had brought to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

This document records the daily performance of some of the kids in the class that Iruka is in charge of.

Of course, the focus is on Menma and his group.

"Yes, you've worked hard these past few years, Iruka."

After reading the contents recorded on the document.

A faint smile appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly satisfied with Iruka's personality, which involved reporting every little detail.

That was the reason Iruka was chosen to lead this class.

Erzhuzi's situation was purely accidental.

Menma and Naruto, these two brothers, must be carefully chosen as their mentors. They are both Minato and Kushina's children, and the former is the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi also thought about it for a long time before choosing Iruka.

He was satisfied with the candidate in terms of loyalty, ability, and personality.

In retrospect, this person was definitely the right choice.

Six years have passed.

The entire class was managed very well.

Although Menma's personality is a bit cold, overall she is growing up normally.

that's enough.

Having lived for so many years, Hiruzen Sarutobi knew a thing or two about the situation of Jinchuriki in each village. He was always worried that Menma, who had been a Jinchuriki since childhood, might have a similar or even worse fate.

Everything seems normal now.

The next step is to follow this path to further cultivate Menma's sense of identity and loyalty to the village, as well as mutual trust with others.

Only in this way can Menma become the most steadfast and important pillar of the village, just like Mito Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki back then.

This is Hiruzen Sarutobi's expectation.

"No, it's all my duty and obligation."

Iruka kept his head down and replied respectfully.

"Yes, I will give your suggestion a good consideration. You should also pay close attention to the graduation assessment. It's the last step, so we need to be extra careful."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said softly.

"Yes, Lord Third Generation!"

Iruka suddenly lowered his head and replied.

Immediately after Hiruzen Sarutobi gently waved his hand in signal.

Iruka took two steps back, then turned and left the Hokage's office.

'Twelve years have passed; time flies.'

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned back slightly, glanced at the photos of the past Hokage hanging on the other side, and fixed his gaze on the fourth one, which was the photo of Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, your children with Kushina are growing up so well. I believe they will inherit your Will of Fire and become the most steadfast guardians of Konoha."

A hint of emotion also appeared in those cloudy eyes.

He then took out a dark scroll from the left drawer, unfolded it, and scanned it down one by one.

Ultimately, it settled on one of the names above.

There is no need for any hesitation.

Hiruzen Sarutobi made up his mind.

Let him lead the team!

This is an extremely suitable candidate, or even the only candidate.

At least in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.

In Konohagakure today.

No one is more suitable than him to lead the post-graduation Mianma team.

Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha's White Fang and a direct subordinate of the Fourth Hokage, is one of Hiruzen Sarutobi's most steadfast heirs to the Will of Fire.

"state."

"Third generation sir."

This decision has been made.

Words spoken softly.

next second.

A dark figure appeared out of thin air and greeted them in a very respectful tone.

"Go and inform Kakashi to come see me tonight."

"Yes!"

After giving a low reply, the figure leaped and disappeared from the spot.

After this member of the secret service left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his pipe in his mouth, got up and walked to the large French window behind him. Looking at the gradually darkening scenery outside, he took a deep breath and gently exhaled a smoke ring.

'The New Year is almost here again.'

Time flies by.

December has passed in the blink of an eye.

This arrived in Konoha in January of the 60th year.

Menma, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others officially began their graduation exams.

The graduation test remains almost identical to the one in the original work—mastery of the Three Bodies Technique!

In this context, the ability to create clones is of paramount importance.
