A Conversation with the Third Hokage
And so, Genya Namikaze stayed in that hospital for three days with his parents Minato Namikaze, and Kushina Uzumaki.
Over the course of these three days, the chaos that Konoha had been in caused by the Nine-Tails' Attack gradually subsided, and it returned to the bustling and lively Konoha Village it had been before the Nine-Tails' Attack.
Three days later, Xuan Ye returned to the Ninja Academy to attend classes. The Ninja Academy had suspended classes for one day on the Nine-Tails' Attack, but resumed classes the next day without taking too long.
As for Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, they naturally did not wake up during these three days, Xuan Ye's younger brother Naruto, was also being cared for in the ninja hospital in the center of Konoha Village.
After all, in other people's eyes, Xuan Ye is just a six-year-old boy who probably has a hard time taking care of himself, let alone taking care of the newborn Naruto Uzumaki.
However, due to Genya Namikaze's time travel, some things changed. Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, who were supposed to die during the Nine-Tails' Attack, did not die.
Naruto, who should have been smeared by Danzo, a bigwig in Konoha Root Danzo, has been missing for three days now, with no news of him. Perhaps it's because Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are still alive that Danzo is hesitant to act, fearing their retaliation upon waking up!
Regardless, Konoha Village eventually returned to a period of stable development, the streets became bustling again, and the number of people coming and going gradually returned to what it used to be, perhaps even increasing.
At the Ninja Academy, Genya Namikaze was still resting leisurely under a large tree, occasionally glancing at the students who were training hard under the blazing sun.
To Xuan Ye's surprise, the group of students actually started training seriously. Perhaps it was because of the Nine-Tails' Attack that they realized that the world of Naruto was not very safe and that there were still many dangers hidden in the peace.
Xuan Ye felt that the group of students who had trained so hard should now understand that when a crisis comes, nothing can be relied on, and they should not always think about hiding, because those who have no power to resist are always the ones who die early. Therefore, only one's own strength is the most reliable thing.
"Ha! Ah! Ah!"
Xuan Ye stretched and yawned.
It really has to be said that the ancients were right. Time is indeed the best medicine to heal the heart. Just three days ago, Xuan Ye was still filled with grief and heartache, and he couldn't even eat.
But now, three days later, although the grief in my heart is still heavy, my mood has improved a lot. After all, the fact that my parents are lying in hospital beds cannot be changed.
So even if you're grieving, it's useless. Grief will only make you feel worse and won't help you increase your strength at all. It's better to adjust your emotions as soon as possible and find a way to improve your strength so that your parents Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, can wake up sooner!
Xuan Ye stood up, raised his head, and looked towards the Hokage Office Building not far from the Ninja Academy. "Sigh! It's been three days since the Nine-Tails' Attack. It's about time to go and discuss the matter of graduating early with that old man Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Thinking of this, Xuan Ye left the training ground without even saying goodbye to the ninja instructor.
After leaving the Ninja Academy, he walked directly to the main street of Konoha Village. Because this was the central location of Konoha Village, where the Ninja Academy and the Hokage Office Building were located, Xuan Ye always felt that this place was very bustling, with many people walking on the streets.
Xuan Ye glanced at the crowded streets, frowned, tilted his head and sighed helplessly. He then leaped onto the roof of a house with a whoosh.
Since Xuan Ye's physical body had reached the level of Chunin, it was easy for him to jump onto the roof using his physical strength. As a result, it only took Xuan Ye about three minutes to reach the Hokage Office Building.
In an office in the Hokage Office Building in Konoha, an old man was sitting leisurely in a chair with a backrest, his small eyes squinting as he held a pipe in his hand, taking a puff now and then, looking incredibly content.
Xuan Ye walked into the room and went directly to the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, saying, "Old man, I want to graduate early."
He only said one sentence, which was simple, clear, and easy to understand.
"Little Xuan Ye, you want to graduate early? Why do you want to graduate early? Can you tell me your reason?" The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, had a pipe in his mouth, took a deep drag, and exhaled thick smoke.
"Old man, I feel that the Ninja Academy can't teach me anything anymore. Staying in the Ninja Academy is a waste of time. If that's the case, I might as well graduate early and directly train my abilities in all aspects." Xuan Ye calmly replied to the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After hearing Genya Namikaze's answer, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was reminded of the battles he had witnessed at the Ninja Academy some time ago, which he had seen with a crystal ball—the battle between Xuan Ye and Itachi Uchiha at the Ninja Academy.
Although both of them were just kids, the power they unleashed during battle was almost at the level of Genin. Their talent had to be taken seriously by Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi of Konoha.
"Haha! I really didn't expect that Xuan Ye would want to graduate early? He's only been in the Ninja Academy for about a year, and he's already learned everything that can be learned there." The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, could only marvel silently at Genya Namikaze's talent.
Although the old man was very surprised by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, he couldn't show any surprise on his face when facing Xuan Ye.
"Hmm! If Xiao Xuan Ye wants to graduate early, it's not impossible. But he has to pass a test. Only if he passes the test can he graduate. If Xuan Ye fails the test, then he won't graduate."
As he pondered, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, put down the pipe he was holding tightly, looked up at Genya Namikaze, and said, "Xuan Ye, I can let you graduate early, but you must pass a test first."
Standing before the Third Hokage, the little old man, Xuan Ye showed no fear on his face, only boundless confidence in his eyes. After all, Xuan Ye had his own confidence and was certain that he could achieve victory.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, sat in his armchair, looking at the confident face of Xuan Ye opposite him, and couldn't help but smile.
"Haha! It seems that Xiao Xuan Ye is very confident! Just by looking into his eyes, you can tell that Xiao Xuan Ye has absolute confidence in his abilities."
