From Demon Slayer: Thunder Swordsman

As for the ninjas who have reached the jonin level, except for those jonin who lead the genin students who have just graduated from ninja studies, other jonin usually carry out missions alone.

As a sensory ninja, Yamanaka Suzune has partnered with other ninjas more often, but most of the time she teams up with members of the same three tribes: Ino, Deer, and Chou.

After all, the three families have close relations and formed an alliance as early as the Warring States Period.

Even the secret techniques passed down for a long time in the family are mutually complementary, and the names of the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans have long been known in the ninja world.

Among them, the pig represents the "Yamana clan", which is the family of Tachibana's old mother, Yamanaka Suzune.

The deer represent the "Nara clan" and the most unexpected is the "Akimichi clan". This fat family does not represent pigs, but butterflies among pigs, deer and butterflies! !

...

So what kind of S-level mission did the village give to the couple?

It turns out!

Their S-level mission this time was an assassination mission secretly issued to them and their spouse by a high-ranking official named Tuan in Konoha Village!

The husband and wife team is composed of Yamanaka Suzune from the Yamanaka clan, who is responsible for perception and investigation, and Hatake Fuuka from the Hatake clan, who is responsible for assassination.

Go to the Land of Lightning and secretly execute the traitorous ninja in the village - Oi Kazuya!

At the same time, according to a high-ranking official named Tuan, this is also a rebel ninja whose strength has reached S-level.

Well, this is entirely the opinion of a certain group’s high-ranking official, and although the husband-and-wife duo had no doubts, they still had some concerns in their hearts.

Why did Oi Kazuya defect?

You know, their Konoha Village is the number one village in the ninja world!

What was Oi Ichiya trying to do in this godforsaken place called Land of Lightning? Was he trying to join the Hidden Cloud Village?

The couple couldn't figure out the specific reason for this matter, and they didn't know much about Oi Ichiya. After all, although the number of senior ninjas in their Konoha Village was not overwhelming, there were definitely quite a few of them.

After all, Konoha is the largest ninja village in the ninja world!

There are more than a hundred senior ninjas in the open alone, not including the ninjas hiding behind the scenes in the village, and the defensive backup plans left by the major ninja families.

If they don't have this strength, how can Konoha maintain its position as the number one in the ninja world?

How can one village resist several other ninja villages in the future?

Therefore, it is normal that the couple are not familiar with Oi Ichiya.

The two of them only knew that Oi Ichiya was a civilian ninja and not a member of any ninja family. To be honest, Hatake Fuuka was quite respectful of this kind of ninja, who was also an extremely rare jonin.

Although their Hatake clan has few people, their strength is not weak. The secret techniques and collection of ninjutsu left in the family are not inferior to those of other medium-sized ninja families.

However, these things are extremely precious to civilian ninjas!

If the Second Generation hadn't founded the ninja school system, how would commoners have the qualifications to become ninjas?

In this era, it is extremely difficult for Oi Kazuya to become a ninja and a jonin at that. He is also worthy of admiration.

However, no matter what the reason is, no matter what you are like, you shouldn't become a traitor to the village...Hatake Fuuka thought so in her heart.

-

However, on the day the couple left, Hatake Tachibana felt something was wrong.

There are two main reasons.

First of all, throughout the entire anime of Naruto, there is no trace or information about these two people. You must know that Hatake Fuka is not a common person at this time!

With the strength of an elite jonin, he can't even be compared to his future eldest son, Hatake Sakumo! At least he has the strength of his eldest grandson, Hatake Kakashi, when he first appeared!

But such an elite jonin, and her old mother, Yamanaka Suzune, who was also a jonin of the Yamanaka clan, disappeared without leaving any information. It couldn't be that she had retired peacefully, right?

Considering their age, even if Lord Kakashi was born, they would not have reached retirement age!

Even if you really retire, you can't help but participate in the life of your eldest grandson Kakashi, right?

All of this can only mean one thing.

The couple both died while carrying out a mission... It's even possible that they died together after carrying out a mission at the same time...

But at this time, the step-parents had been gone for more than a day. Faced with this situation, Hatake Tachibana was helpless and could only lie down in the rocking chair at home and wait silently.

...

Well, if something bad really happens, I will avenge you.

With this thought in mind, Hatake Tachibana slowly fell asleep.

Chapter 6 Ninja School

It's not that Ju is hard-hearted, it's just that given his current condition, there is no other way. What else can he do if he doesn't stay at home to sleep and develop well.

He just wanted to fight for his "new" parents, but now he has no chance with his current body...

Sure enough, half a month later, the unexpected bad news came.

On this day, Tachibana was lying on the tatami, squirming as usual, having just been fed by the wet nurse hired by the Hatake family.

In fact, he had been able to walk normally a long time ago, but in order not to attract attention, when there were outsiders around, Ju pretended to be a normal baby. He would only do some basic exercises normally at night when there was no one around.

But at this moment, the dense footsteps outside the yard made Ju's heart tighten.

The infinite perception system unfolds instantly.

...

At this moment, at the gate of the Hatake family, several ninjas wearing Konoha ninja uniforms and Konoha ninja forehead protectors were standing quietly behind the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Looking at him comforting the young man in front of him, it was the sacrificed Jonin, Hatake Fuka, and Yamanaka Suzune's eldest son, Hatake Sakumo!

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still a young man at this time, stretched out his broad hand, patted the shoulder of the young man in front of him, and whispered to comfort him:

"Sakumo! You are not a child anymore, you are a ninja! As a ninja, you should learn to be strong. Even if not for yourself, you should think about your brother who has not grown up yet..."

"Okay, the village will take care of Fenghua and Lingyin's affairs for you brothers. You don't have to worry about Shumao. Don't take any missions during this period. Just rest at home for a while!"

"If you have any problems in life, Sakumo, you can come to me at any time. If..." At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hatake Sakumo and continued:

"Sakumo, you are still a child now. You must be troubled by having a young brother. If you don't have time, I can ask Biwako to help you take care of your brother. What do you think?"

After a brief silence, Hatake Sakumo raised his head. Although his face was still a little immature, his expression was extremely tough.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama, but no thanks, I'm sure I can take care of Tachibana."

"Yeah." Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything more, just nodded, and after comforting the young man a few more words, he left with the ninjas in the village behind him.

After everyone left, the boy couldn't help but shed tears...

-

Inside the Hokage office building.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was having a fierce argument with Shimura Danzo, Mito Kado En, and Utane Koharu in the Hokage's office.

"Danzo!! This Ooi Ichiya was fine, why did he defect not long after you said you wanted to transfer him to your newly established Root? What did you do behind his back?"

"Also! Who allowed you to mobilize Hatake Fuka and Yamanaka Suzune to the Land of Lightning to hunt down Ooi Kazuya? Why did you dare to give them such an S-level mission without informing me?"

"What do you regard the ninjas in the village as? Tools? What is your purpose? Danzo! How many things are you doing that you are hiding from me?"

Looking at his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him, veins bulging on his forehead and his face full of anger.

And our Lord Nabekage, Lord Shimura Danzo at this time behaved more like a "kage" should.

He looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly and explained slowly:

"Huruzen! Calm down!"

"You should think about it carefully. Why can I find out that Ooi Ichiya has the intention to defect? ​​But you can't! You still give too much preferential treatment to the ninjas in the village! Hiruzen!"

"Look at those big families! In the eyes of the Uchiha, Hyuga, and those... Ninja families, do they still care about the village and Konoha? In their eyes, which is more important, Konoha or the family?"

"Have you ever thought about these questions? Hiruzen!"

"Also, as a ninja, shouldn't you be prepared to lose your life at any time while carrying out your mission? Did Hatake Fuuka and Yamanaka Suzune complete their mission? They didn't complete their mission!"

"So what if they are dead? They are still unqualified ninjas! Especially this Hatake Fuka, he is unworthy of being called an elite jonin!!"

Danzo Shimura did not tolerate Sarutobi Hiruzen at all. He scolded him for a long time, which made Sarutobi Hiruzen's face even darker.

This person, Sarutobi Hiruzen!

He had already figured it out clearly, and with his personality, he would never turn against her completely over such a "small matter".

After all, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart, they are "old friends for many years!"

How could someone like Sarutobi Hiruzen have the heart to punish a partner with such a bond?

To be honest, Danzo Shimura really didn't understand. Could it be that the Second Hokage, Lord Senju Tobirama, was really senile and confused?

Why did the position of the Third Hokage be passed to Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Why is Sarutobi Hiruzen so good? In what way is Shimura Danzo inferior to him?

Someone who can become Hokage doesn't have to be far-sighted and decisive, but he can't be like Sarutobi Hiruzen, right?

Indecisive and hesitant!

What can such a person do even if he has the ability?

Can he be a good Hokage?

If Sarutobi Hiruzen could really break off completely with him because of this incident today, then Shimura Danzo would really look up to him.

And the fact is, it was exactly what Shimura Danzo expected.

Under the comfort of Mitomonen and Utatane Koharu, Sarutobi Hiruzen with a gloomy face could not help but recall the past events between them...

There was a lot of wrangling afterwards, and after much arguing, the matter was just left to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

-

Four years later, time flies by like a white horse, and our protagonist, who is now more than four years old and less than five years old, "Hatake Tachibana", was brought to the gate of the Ninja School by his older brother, Hatake Sakumo, who is now a senior ninja, early this morning!

"Tachibana, you're going to school today? Are you happy?" Hatake Sakumo, who has a young face, asked the little bean sprout beside him like an old father.

"Oh, it's okay." Ju spread his hands and said indifferently.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he comes to school or not. He has learned almost everything that the Ninja School should teach. But if he doesn't go to school, he really has no excuse to use.

Well, when I go to school, I will be called a genius and be able to use some daily ninjutsu in front of people openly.

Chapter 7 Ninja Sword Art

Konohagakure is a ninja training academy founded by the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

This is where all the ninjas of Konoha first began their training.

After completing basic training at the Ninja School, each ninja will be divided into different groups and trained with their own teachers.

Accept tasks of different levels that suit you. Nowadays, many outstanding ninjas come from this school. This is the best way for Konoha to pass on its will, and it is also emulated by ninja villages in other countries.

During the era of the second generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama trained 38 students represented by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami, Akimichi Tofu, Mito Kado En, Utane Koharu, and Kosuke.

These students later became the core group of Konoha. In the era of the Third Hokage, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen has cultivated outstanding students represented by "Jiraiya", "Orochimaru" and "Tsunade".

You have to know that at this time, the three ninjas, as well as outstanding students such as Hatake Sakumo, have already reached the level of jonin.

It is not difficult to see from here that Sarutobi Hiruzen's teaching ability is great. Of course, it cannot be denied that these people's talents are also among the best in the entire ninja world.

But even such a talented Hatake Sakumo was beaten to a pulp by Tachibana when facing his younger brother...

Well, now that his father was gone, Ju's basic training naturally fell into the hands of his older brother, who was thirteen years older than Ju.

The main thing is the ninja sword technique passed down by their Hatake clan, and the footwork that goes with the ninja sword technique. As for the chakra extraction technique, Sakumo was not in a hurry to teach it to Tachibana.

The main reason is that in the inherent cognition of the ninja world, it is not suitable for young children to extract chakra too early. If conditions permit, they still have to wait until their bodies grow to a certain extent before extracting chakra.

After all, the energy consumed by the body is the energy within the human cells! How can an undeveloped child have so much cellular energy?

Of course, in wartime, you can’t care so much!

On the battlefield during the Ninja World War, all the newly graduated Genin students had to join the war. How could you care about so many things and worry about your future?

Let’s survive first!

If you lose the fight in the village, you won't even have enough food to eat...

-

However, just from the basic teaching process of the ninja swordsmanship, Hatake Tachibana was completely amazed by his good brother Hatake Sakumo!
