Chapter 51 Koike, you're too narrow-minded.
Chapter 51 Koike, you're too narrow-minded.
He was dressed in a white robe and wore the Hokage hat, and looked kind and benevolent.
These factors combined naturally lead to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, none of the previous Hokage lived to an age where they could be described as kind and benevolent.
In comparison, the Third Hokage was practically the king of longevity.
"Hello... Hokage-sama."
Uchiha Ike paused for a moment, then greeted him respectfully.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and pointed to the chair. "There's no one behind you, so don't rush. Sit down first."
What kind of plane is this old man trying to pull?
"yes!"
Although he was already cursing Hiruzen Sarutobi in his heart, Uchiha Ike nodded vigorously and strode over to the chair to sit down.
His expression was tense, his hands were crossed under his abdomen, and his eyes were blinking very rapidly, clearly showing that he was very nervous.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't find it strange at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled even more kindly.
He had seen this situation many times before. Of the students who came into this office before, nine out of ten were like this, and many of them were even more nervous than Uchiha Ike.
Incidentally, the remaining one was his son Asuma. As soon as Asuma pushed the door open and clicked his tongue, Hiruzen Sarutobi instinctively picked up his belt.
By the time he came to his senses, Asma had already run off with his serial number.
"You seem a little nervous?"
"Of course." Uchiha Ike put on a superb performance, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen as if facing the scorching midday sun, his whole body trembling:
"In my opinion, you are the most important Hokage in Konoha's history!"
"Oh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked over and asked curiously, "Why?"
"Because you are the strongest Hokage in history," Uchiha Ike said matter-of-factly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.
He has always felt unworthy of the title of the strongest Hokage in history.
I don't know who it was that, instead of focusing on doing the tasks properly, spent their time coming up with this ambiguous title.
"Koike," Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "Whether it's the First Hokage who used Wood Release, or my teacher, the Second Hokage who knew the Flying Thunder God Technique, they were both extremely powerful ninjas."
I don't believe it.
Uchiha Ike shook his head and said honestly, "I've never seen them. I only know that the Third Hokage was the strongest Hokage."
"You're being too narrow-minded!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face immediately darkened. "Koike, this isn't right. You should learn about things you don't know, instead of just sitting in a well and having a limited perspective. This is very bad for your ninja training!"
[Pleasure detected from Hiruzen Sarutobi!]
[Gain 15 points and increase defense by 3%!]
Bah, shameless old Deng!
Uchiha Ike silently cursed in his heart; he would have believed it if he hadn't seen the system's prompt.
"I understand what you mean, Third Hokage," Uchiha Ike said, bowing his head with a face full of guilt. "I will definitely go back and study Konoha's history thoroughly."
"That's right, that's right, this is the correct Will of Fire." Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately regained his kind and gentle demeanor. "You don't really need to be nervous... Koike."
He took two seconds to come up with the nickname "Koike": "I've been watching your performance closely, and you'll definitely become a pillar of Konoha in the future..."
Uchiha Ike felt a moment of déjà vu, as if his boss from a past life had been talking to him.
"Your performance has been noticed by the company..."
However, the company's cash flow is indeed a bit tight...
I thought I was going to get a promotion and a raise, but it turned out to be a cost-cutting and efficiency-enhancing event.
Fortunately, he wasn't playing Earth Online, so this kind of scenario wouldn't happen.
As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he found a slip of paper on the table and handed it to Ike Uchiha.
Uchiha Ike took it and saw that it recorded his assigned squad number, as well as the time and location.
The location is the back forest north of Konoha.
The time is 3 PM.
"Team 5..." Uchiha Ike said, reading the note aloud.
"That's right, Class 5." Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded. "Your teammates are all excellent kids. You should learn a lot from them."
"I will." Uchiha Ike nodded earnestly: "I will learn from others' strengths and reflect on my own weaknesses. I will try my best to do that."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Uchiha Ike an approving look: "That's right, among your peers, you are already one of the few who understand the Will of Fire the most."
Is this also your Will of Fire? Your Will of Fire is truly all-encompassing.
Uchiha Ike almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and had to pinch his thigh hard to suppress it.
"As for your teacher..." Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned somewhat strange.
He put the pipe to his mouth, took a few puffs, and then slowly said, "Your teacher is a very special person. Remember not to make her angry."
angry?
Uchiha Ike blinked, somewhat puzzled. "My mentor gets angry very easily. Can someone like that be a good teacher?"
"Cough cough..." Hiruzen Sarutobi removed his pipe and coughed violently, waving his hand and saying, "I never said that."
"Alright, alright," he glanced at the clock, waved his hand with a smile, "Time is running out, get ready and head to the meeting point."
For some reason, Uchiha Ike sensed that the Third Hokage seemed a little flustered.
But he still made a show of it, nodding respectfully, "Then I'll go to the assembly point first."

Uchiha Ike gently closed the wooden door and left the Konoha Ninja Academy.
He quickly determined the direction and headed towards the meeting point for Class 5.
As he walked, Uchiha Ike began to sense that something was amiss.
Ever since leaving the ninja academy, he has felt itchy all over.
It's not that my lungs itch, but rather that my back is itchy.
The Jonin's intuition told him that he was being watched.
who is it?
Uchiha Ike walked slowly, frowning as he pondered.
Could it be that his number one hater, Shimura Danzo, has finally decided to take action?
Why choose this particular time to strike?
Uchiha Ike, however, remained calm.
He was already a Jonin, and had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. Danzo wouldn't dare to make a big fuss about him in Konoha.
But if you don't dare to, why follow yourself?
Unless... it's not Danzo.
As he walked out of Konoha and into the forest, Uchiha Ike suddenly stopped and turned around.
I didn't see anything.
However, even though there was nothing behind him, Uchiha Ike's face showed a slight smile.
Even without his Sharingan activated, his dynamic vision in normal state is extraordinary.
When he turned around just now, he caught a glimpse of a color that stood out from the forest.
It was a bright gold color.
