Chapter 176 Admission (5)
July 8, the 7th year of the Ninja Alliance.
This day is the day when new students enter the Ninja School.
As the village's Chunin and also a teacher at the Ninja School, Umino Iruka was at the door welcoming the new students.
However, today, Umino Iruka had a somewhat melancholy expression.
His best friend Mizuki disappeared a few days ago, and he went to the police force to report the case. The ninja in charge of reception also took it very seriously after hearing about it.
But when he went to inquire about the progress of the case the next day, the other party told him with a strange expression that Mizuki was not missing; but when Iruka asked about the other party's whereabouts, this ninja from the police force was unwilling to say another word.
Unable to get an answer from the police force, he asked his father, a Jonin, for help, but his father also had no clues.
Compared to Umino Iruka's melancholy, today's Uzumaki mansion can be said to be in chaos.
"Hey, Naruto, be careful at school and stay away from those bad guys. Oh, and if someone bullies you, give them a good lesson with your fists!"
Uzumaki Kushina looked at Minato and his son who were about to set off, her face full of worry.
"Minato, I heard that the exchange students this year are not easy to get along with. Is our Naruto really okay?"
"puff."
Kurama, who heard Kushina's mumbling in the spiritual space, couldn't help but sneer.
As the third family member who watched Naruto grow up, he saw clearly how Naruto behaved among the children.
Don't even mention that Naruto was bullied. You should be more worried about whether those who cause trouble to him will be beaten away by him.
"Don't worry, mom. I will get along well with my classmates."
"Yes Kushina, you have to have faith in our son."
Minato smiled back at Kushina, comforting his wife in a gentle tone.
"You are always so blindly optimistic."
Kushina complained in a low voice as she pouted at Minato who was not on her side.
"Anyway, take care of yourself, Naruto."
She strode forward and pulled the father and son in front of her into her arms, both of them blushing at Kushina's sudden action.
"Don't worry, wife."
"Don't worry, Mom."
"By the way, mom, why does it smell like burnt food?"
Just as Kushina was immersed in the warmth of her family, Naruto's voice sounded at an inopportune time.
"Oh, it's broken, my food!"
Pushing the father and son away, Kushina hurried to the kitchen to rescue her work.
"Ah, Dad, I don't want to go home for dinner tonight."
"That's so cunning Naruto, do you want me to face your mother alone?"
Minato rubbed Naruto's head and decisively rejected his proposal.
"Okay, let's go!"
Pinching Naruto's little face, Minato smiled and opened the door.
In front of the Ninja School.
Except for exchange students, most students come to register accompanied by their parents.
"Brother Minato, long time no see."
From a distance, Uzumaki Naruto saw Karin's parents greeting Minato.
"Nagato, Misuzu."
Giving the two a familiar nod, Minato looked down at their daughter.
"Hello Xiangling, long time no see. Naruto will be in your care at school."
"Hello Uncle Minato..."
Looking at the smiling Minato, Xiangling hid behind Nagato and greeted Minato with a blushing face.
"Ah, it's Minato and Nagato, long time no see."
Just like his son, Akimichi Choza, who was munching on potato chips, came over with Akimichi Choji.
"Hey, Shikaku, Haiyi, come here quickly, Minato and Nagato are here."
Pig, Deer and Butterfly always act at the same time.
Today the three of them also went out together.
"Naruto, Xiangling, good morning."
Ino greeted them happily.
"Uncle Minato, Uncle Nagato."
At the same time, don't forget to say hello to the elders.
"Strange, isn't Hiashi here yet?"
Looking at the children who gathered together and whispered, Yamanaka Haiyi looked around in confusion.
Lord Jiraiya should have given all the parents a day off, and the Hyuga family tradition has always been strict, with only early arrivals and no lateness.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Just as a few people were looking for Hiashi's trace, Hozuki Terutsuki came to the school gate with his son.
"Teruri, you're here."
As for Terutsuki, the few people did not distance themselves from him even though he joined Konoha later from the Hidden Mist Village.
On the contrary, as comrades who fought side by side in the Third Ninja World War, the few of them had a very close relationship.
"Your eldest son is one of the youngest jonin in the village."
A few parents got together and soon started to flatter each other.
"No way, Man Yue, that kid, still has a lot of room for improvement."
Hozuki Terutsuki said this "modestly", but the upward curve of his mouth still revealed his inner joy.
"Hey, that's strange. It's almost time to start school, why hasn't Brother Fugaku arrived yet?"
Several people laughed and flattered each other. Seeing that the teacher had already begun to prepare to maintain order, Minato looked around in confusion.
"Oh, Fugaku, I saw him on the road. He was arguing with Hiashi about who should pass that intersection first."
When he heard Minato asking about Fugaku's whereabouts, Hozuki Teruzuki slapped his forehead.
"I wanted to give them some advice, but they were too busy arguing and no one paid any attention to me."
"Ah this——"
In the end, Uchiha Fugaku and Hyuga Hiashi arrived at the scene before the students entered the school.
"Okay, parents please go through the side door and gather on the playground!"
A teacher opened the side door and motioned for the parents to enter through.
The students entered through the main gate under the guidance of their teachers.
Most parents are graduates of Ninja School, so they are naturally familiar with the location of the playground.
"Hey, Minister Yamato, the students are all here, we can start!"
Seeing that the students had already started to enter the school, a Konoha ninja wearing the uniform of the Construction Department hurriedly shouted to a place not far away.
"Oh, Wood Release: Roof Terrace Technique!"
Hearing the voice calling him, Yamato, who was originally sitting on a wooden chair to rest, hurriedly stood up and clapped his hands. Then, in front of the students' surprised eyes, a huge podium took shape instantly.
"Well done, Yamato. It was the best decision to hand over the construction department to you."
Seeing that the stage was completed, Jiraiya, who had been waiting in the teaching building for a long time, came out, patted Yamato on the shoulder and praised him.
"Thank you for your praise, Yondaime-sama, but please cherish the strength of the Construction Department. Don't call me for such trivial matters. Wouldn't it be better to build a mobile podium?"
Yamato, who was already exhausted, complained dissatisfiedly.
Ever since he became the head of the Construction Department, the guys under him no longer work hard.
Whether there is any problem or not, just use Wood Release to handle it.
This is much more uncomfortable than working under Danzo-sama, okay?
Lord Danzo, I miss you so much.
