? Anko?
When he heard Uzuki Yugao's words, he thought of Mitaraishi Anko's furious look, and Yu couldn't help but smile.
But... Did that little girl Anko finally become Orochimaru's apprentice?
But when he thought about the Orochimaru he met today, and compared with the huge gap in momentum, Yu still couldn't help but feel a bit of gloom in his heart.
It is true that Yu has the ability of String-String Fruit, and he has not fallen behind in the training of Naruto World's power system.
At such a young age, he already has the strength to fight Jonin. In everyone's eyes, he is a talented ninja with unlimited future.
But in Yu's own opinion, so what?
Are there not enough geniuses in Naruto World? How many can survive the final battle of Ninja World?
Unlike other anime, the power system of Naruto World will have a discontinuous growth in the later stages.
In the early stage, perhaps the Jonin and the ninjas of Kage Level will be a powerful fighting force that cannot be ignored.
But in the later stage, in front of the Six Paths level BOSS, what is the difference between Kage Level and a slightly more powerful ordinary person?
Throughout the entire original work, only Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke, the biological sons of Sage of Six Paths, can completely ignore logic and forcibly cheat, and inexplicably cross N levels to directly face Six Paths level opponents.
But Yu doesn't have the so-called protagonist halo, nor does he have a biological father like Sage of Six Paths, so Yu won't place his hopes on these illusory things.
And before the final Ninja World battle comes more than ten years later, there are four chasm-like levels in front of Yu: Ying, Super Kage, Ninja World peak, and Six Paths, which need to be crossed by their own strength.
The further you get to the later realms, the harder it becomes to practice, so what if you are a seven-year-old Jonin? Is there really plenty of time left for him?
"Hey! It's Yuhei!!"
I was walking silently with Uzuki Yugao, when another familiar voice came from the street next to me.
"Kay?"
Yu put away his thoughts and looked back, and found Might Guy waving vigorously to him on the street across the street.
Standing next to Kai were Genma Shiranui and Ebisu.
"I said... Yu!"
Ignoring Yu's eyes that did not want to interact with him, he saw Might Guy in green tights running over quickly, staring at Uzuki Yugao next to Yu as if he had discovered something terrible.
"Could this be your girlfriend?!"
"Um... this is Uzuki Yugao... she is..."
Feeling Yugao beside him, his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and Yu was about to explain.
"This is so -- so touching!!!"
But what left Yu speechless was that the Might Guy in front of him was so moved that he burst into tears.
"A talent beyond Kakashi! And he has such a beautiful girlfriend!!"
"Is this what youth is?!"
This guy...
Resisting the urge to kick Might Guy away, Yu's mouth twitched and never stopped.
Take your youth and get out of here!
And do I have a girlfriend? What the hell are you trying to do there?
"That... Yu."
At this time, Genma Shiranui and Ebisu, who were standing next to them, also came over and said, "We are going to have barbecue, you should bring your girlfriend with you!"
"It just so happens that we can also thank you for saving your life during the last mission, and celebrate your promotion to Special Jōnin."
Girlfriend... Girlfriend...
Hearing being called this again, I saw the temperature on Yugao's cheeks rising continuously, and he seemed to be about to go into shock.
"Um... are you going Yugao?"
Looking at the blushing Yugao beside him, Yu asked her opinion.
"In that case... then... let's get together!"
Yugao replied as softly as a mosquito. Seeing that Yu didn't explain their relationship, the blush on her face became even more attractive.
When Yugao agreed, Yu took her and Might Guy to the barbecue restaurant.
The long-term tasks and training have been straining my nerves, and today I finally have a rare moment of relaxation.
Accompanied by the beautiful woman, Yu spent a leisurely barbecue night.
Early the next morning, when it was still light, Yu was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Coming."
The sleepy Yu walked to the door and opened it, and saw a Anbu ninja standing at the door.
"Master Yu, Lord Hokage and the three senior executives would like to ask you to come over."
This person, Anbu Ninja, got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
"Teacher Sarutobi and three senior executives? They suddenly called me over early in the morning."
After hearing the words brought by Anbu Ninja, Yu suddenly lost all sleepiness.
It would be fine if only Third Hokage was summoned, but now it was Third Hokage who was summoned together with three Konoha High Command, which meant that Danzo was also there. Yu, who reacted very quickly, immediately sensed that this summons was not simple.
"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."
Yu didn't hesitate. After simply washing up, he put on a black ninja sweater and followed Anbu Ninja directly to Hokage Office Building.
Five minutes later, Hokage office.
Anbu Ninja in front of Yu knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
The familiar voice of Third Hokage came from inside.
"Lord Hokage, Yakushi Hane brought."
"Okay, you go down first."
After entering Hokage office.
Sure enough, Yu saw that in addition to Third Hokage, three other Konoha High Command--Danzo, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were also there.
This made Yu even more cautious. It seemed that things were not that simple after all...
"You're here, Yu, sit down."
Third Hokage still paid special attention to Yu as always. When he saw Yu come in, he immediately asked him to sit down.
"No need Lord Hokage."
"Three Konoha High Command adults are here, so there's no place for me to sit when it's my turn."
Realizing that today's summons was unusual, Yu politely declined.
"Well... there is a certain amount of advance and retreat."
"Sarutobi, it seems that your new disciple is not only talented."
But Yu's measured words and deeds caused a burst of praise from Mitokado Homura present.
Wearing a pair of glasses, he is about the same age as Third Hokage. He looks like an ordinary old man, but he has an extra commanding power.
Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, like Danzo, were teammates of Third Hokage when they were young. They are now the top officials of the Administration Department, the organization that assists Hokage in managing Konoha's government affairs.
Equivalent to the elders in the village, one is to assist Hokage in its work and give some correct opinions, and the other is to serve as a bridge between Land of Fire and Konoha, conveying the country's information, receiving financial expenditures allocated to the village by the country, and also reporting some of the village's conditions and situations to the daimyo.
"Are you Yakushi Hane?"
"I can often hear stories of your genius in the village recently."
Similarly, Utatane Koharu was also sizing up the white-haired boy in front of him, who was handsome, elegant and well-spoken, and nodded with satisfaction.
"The appearance and behavior are impeccable. It seems that Sarutobi has taken on another good disciple..."
