Chapter 17: Little yellow-haired boy from Konoha?

Chapter 17: Little yellow-haired boy from Konoha?

Although the war did not spread to Konoha, there were still fewer pedestrians on the streets.

The ninjas who stayed behind in the village also performed their duties conscientiously and were ready to be sent to the front lines.

Only the children were not affected by the war at all. They could continue their studies and play in their spare time.

In the small square outside the Ninja School, several boys and girls gathered together, carefully observing every student entering the school.

If there were ninjas from various major families passing by at this time, they would certainly be surprised to find that these children were all from well-known and large families in Konoha.

Even high-level meetings may not bring together so many people.

"Hey, Nono, who is that handsome yellow-haired guy you were talking about?"

Konan poked Nono beside her with her finger.

After being successfully brought back to the Root from the battlefield by Shiichi, because of their similar age and with the help of Kato Dan, they quickly became friends with the Root members.

The reason why so many people gathered here was because they heard that Nono had found a super handsome yellow-haired boy in the Ninja School, which made many boys who had a crush on Nono very alarmed.

They urged Nono to take everyone to see it for themselves.

Because of the central idea of ​​the Root set by Danzo, and the fact that Kato Dan had no experience working in the Anbu, this so-called new Anbu was not dark at all. Apart from returning to the base on time to sleep every night, they were free to roam around Konoha as long as the training was over.

"Wait a little longer, it seems like it hasn't arrived yet."

Nono blushed a little. She also saw the other person when she was shopping yesterday.

At that time, two similar-looking boys from the Hyuga family seemed to have some dispute, and one of them kept pulling the sleeve of the other boy and refused to let go.

The boy who was being dragged was obviously unhappy. When he saw that his attempts to break free were futile, he just started to attack.

Adhering to the Root's central idea of ​​"being helpful", Nono was about to stop them, but saw a flash of yellow light, and a yellow-haired boy appeared between the two of them.

In the end, thanks to the mediation of the yellow-haired young man, the two sides did not actually fight.

The other person's handsome face was deeply imprinted in Nono's heart.

Then he accidentally let it slip and was heard by his companions.

"What yellow hair? I want to see if there is anyone more handsome than Uchiha?"

Uchiha Shinichi curled his lips in disdain.

"I think you Uchiha are nothing more than that. If we talk about handsomeness, it has to be our Hyuga clan."

Hinata Yong was obviously unhappy when he heard this.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing, everyone is pretty handsome."

Yahiko was trying to smooth things over.

Aburame Ryoma remained silent.

Nagato's attention was attracted by a red-haired girl.

"That hair color looks like mine..."

The girl's expression was somewhat fierce, but for some reason, Nagato always felt that there was a hint of sadness between her brows.

"Ah, it's him!"

Nono whispered excitedly.

The finger pointed at the yellow-haired boy who was following the red-haired girl from a distance.

"Which one? Let me see!"

Hearing Nono's voice, Shinichi and Yong no longer cared about bickering.

"Hiss, this boy is really handsome..."

Shinichi made a simple comparison between the other person and himself and scratched his head somewhat unwillingly.

"And why does the black-haired guy next to that guy look so familiar?"

"Nonsense, he must look familiar, that's Uchiha Fugaku, your young clan leader."

With his Byakugan activated, Yong can see more than Shinichi.

"Fuck."

Hearing that the other party was his own young clan leader, Shinichi subconsciously shrank his head.

Then he suddenly remembered that he had joined the Root and was no longer under the tribe's jurisdiction, so he stubbornly stuck his head out again.

"Humph, although he is handsome, he is probably just a vase, good-looking but useless. Wait for me to issue him a challenge and challenge him to a fight!"

"I can see it."

"This, this is inappropriate..."

"Hey, Longma, isn't your brother a student there? Find out what this kid's name is and which class he's in!"

"..."

......

"Hey, Minato, someone sent you a letter."

Hiashi waved a letter given to him by a senior and handed it to Minato.

That’s right, the handsome yellow-haired guy is the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Hearing that the letter was for Minato, Kushina, who was sitting in the lower row, turned around subconsciously, but then remembered that she was not very familiar with the other party, so she turned back.

"Really, why should I care about that guy."

Mumbling something, Kushina tried to concentrate on her own things, but her ears were always paying attention to their conversation.

"Really? Thank you, Hizashi."

"Hey, who gave this to you, Minato? It can't be a love letter."

Hiashi, who looked almost the same as Hizashi, came over and tried to join in the conversation.

When Hiashi spoke, Hizashi's smiling face suddenly became expressionless, and he turned around and went back to his seat.

"Uh......"

Seeing that Hizashi was so repulsed by him, Hiashi stood there in embarrassment.

Seeing Hiashi being humiliated, Fugaku was in a good mood, but not showing his emotions on his face was his most important character trait, so he just reminded Minato lightly to open the letter first to see what was written inside.

"Such as this, such as this, such as this..."

After several people got together and read the letter, they discovered that it was actually a declaration of war.

"Ah this..."

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone in the school knows that Minato is the most outstanding student in this class. Even though he hasn't graduated yet, the teachers have already acknowledged that this kid has reached the level of a Chunin.

This is just asking for trouble.

[The person who could do such a thing must be a descendant of a powerful family. He is arrogant and a complete fool.]

Fugaku put his hands in his pockets and expressed his contempt for the guy who issued the challenge.

[Definitely the head of the Hyuga clan.] [Definitely an idiot of the Uchiha clan.]

Fugaku and Hiashi thought to themselves at the same time.

The news spread among the children at an extremely fast speed. Before school was over, all the friends in the school who were on good terms with Minato knew about it.

"Well, Minato, are you ready to go to your date?"

After the last class, the teacher had left and everyone started packing their things. Shikaku brought Haiyi and Choza to Minato.

Fugaku and Hiashi did not leave either, while Hizashi was waiting for Minato at a distance away from his eldest brother.

"Uh......"

Seeing so many people surrounding him, Minato smiled awkwardly.

He looked in the direction of Kushina and saw that she was just packing her things.

Finally, Minato said uncertainly.

"Well, let's go check it out then?"

"Okay, let's go!"

No one knew who shouted first, but anyway, Minato and his group set off towards the agreed location in a mighty manner.

Kushina sat in her seat and watched everyone walk away. She hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth, put on her backpack, and followed them stealthily.

At the same time, Shinichi and his group, who had completed today's training at the Root, also headed towards their destination in groups.

In the end, both sides arrived at the training ground at the south end of the village on time.

......

[Fuck, why did the young clan leader come here?] [Fuck, why did Lord Rizu come here?]

[Why does this guy look so familiar?] [Hiss, isn't this kid Yong from the Second Elder's family?]

Shinichi and Fugaku, Isamu and Hiashi, just looked at each other awkwardly and ignored Minato who was challenged to a fight.

[Humph, another idiot from the clan as expected. ]

Hiashi, who kept his distance from Hiashi, also recognized Yong in front of him and knew that he was the child of the second elder and also a member of the main family.

Hiashi, who had always looked down on the main family, sneered in disdain.

"Uh, well, are we still going to fight?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit weird, Yahiko stepped forward at the right time to smooth things over.

"Uh, oh, yes, fight, fight, you must be Namikaze Minato, I'm Uchiha Shinichi."

He turned his head away and forced himself not to look at Fugaku. Although he said that Fugaku had no control over him, the habit of living in the clan for many years made him dare not do that like when he was in the Root.

"I'm Hyuga Yong."

Yong was the same, forcing himself not to look at Rizu's expression.

"I seem to have never seen these people in school before."

Shikaku looked at everyone at the Root curiously.

Logically speaking, children of this age and background should receive education in a ninja school.

But they...

"I know the one called Yong. He is the only son of the second elder of the Hyuga clan. The second elder was attacked a few years ago and had one of his eyes gouged out. He committed suicide to apologize for this."

Haiyi pointed at Hinata Yong and introduced him to Shikaku.

"The one with the glasses and no words is Aburame Ryoma, he is a relative of Aburame Ryuuto."

Ding Zuo recognized Long Ma's identity.

As for Nono, Yahiko and others, I really have no impression of them.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

While they were discussing, Shinichi and Minato had already completed the opposing seal and officially started fighting.

[Has this kid already learned the Fireball? ]

Fugaku was a little surprised to see the fireball burst out.

He knew that Shinichi had joined the Root, and he thought that this guy would never come back, and his eyes would be dug out and studied. Unexpectedly, he was not only alive and well, but his personality had also become much more cheerful.

It's just a bit too cheerful.
