The Uchiha clan had three more twelve-year-olds who awakened their Sharingan, but Fugaku couldn't smile at all. This isn't what I expected! How did those little devils grow up? I know the Sharingan needs to be stimulated to awaken, but does it have to be stimulated to this extent?
Fugaku pinched his brow, feeling like his Mangekyo Sharingan was about to lose control. Is it still too late to clean house?
As he was having a headache, a pair of soft hands pressed on his temples, gently massaging them.
"Did you encounter something difficult?" Mikoto asked softly.
"Ah, it's about those three kids, Gan, Wen, and Cui. They're good kids, but how did they become like this..."
"Hehe." Mikoto chuckled softly, "Isn't it a good thing? They're much more energetic than before."
Is it just a matter of being energetic? Fugaku sighed and said, "Maybe it's a good thing."
...
"Of course, it's a good thing!" Minato smiled happily. These days, Guy had been taking Gan, Wen, and Cui on over a dozen D-Rank Missions, including catching cats and finding dogs, weeding and planting fields, and carrying and unloading goods.
The clients praised these four green-clad bowl-cut heads to the skies, especially in terms of physical labor. After shouting "Youth!" these guys could do the work of three people. Hiring such reliable ninjas was definitely a bargain.
Especially since doing these missions directly or indirectly helped many residents. After learning that the three little ones were all children of the Uchiha family, it seemed that the Uchiha's reputation was gradually improving. Now people no longer overly feared the Military Police Force when they saw them.
Under Fugaku's restraint, the Military Police Force's attitude towards law enforcement was also changing. Now, only a few stubborn old men and a few scattered young people who had been hoodwinked were still trying to clamor about causing trouble within the Uchiha clan, but they were all within a controllable range and couldn't cause any big waves.
In his happiness, Minato smiled and shared the funny stories of Gan, Wen, and Cui at the dinner table. Naruto also learned that these few intruding bowl-cut heads were actually created by accident through the cooperation of his dad and Sasuke's dad. Naruto didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment, only knowing that Sasuke's whole family was probably saved.
At night, Naruto lay in bed and entered the Sealing Space to tell the fox spirit the last chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Feeling empty, he opened his mouth and sang, "The rolling Yangtze River..."
Now the relationship between the one person and one fox was much better. At least now Naruto could enter the door and sit in front of the fox to talk. It was okay to pat the fox's paw when he was happy. Every time Naruto sang, the fox would give a euphemistic compliment:
"Get out!"
"Okay." Naruto nimbly drilled out of the door.
Nine Tails glared at Naruto. The stories this kid tells are pretty good... pretty average, barely enough to relieve boredom, but he likes to sing while telling them, and he uses strange languages that he can't understand, annoying the fox to death.
Naruto had long been accustomed to the way he interacted with the fox. When telling stories, he was like coaxing a child, and when singing, he was like provoking his own cat master.
"Big fox, is the other you still arguing with my mom every day?" Naruto knew that this fox and the fox in his mom could share memories and even have voice calls.
"So what? That hateful woman!"
"You're not allowed to speak ill of my mom! Just like you talk to me, is it so difficult to communicate with her properly?"
"Hmph! Do you want to argue too!"
"I don't want to. What's the point of arguing? When I become as strong as the First Hokage, I can fight with you."
Nine Tails heavily lay on the ground. What's the point of fighting then?
Naruto was too lazy to persuade him. Maybe arguing was their unique way of communicating their feelings. It was reasonable for the fox spirit and the hostess to dislike each other and argue.
...
The forest flowers have withered and the spring is gone, how hasty, in the blink of an eye, two years have passed with the wind.
Thinking back to Kimimaro in those years, he was still a melancholy teenager who thought about the meaning of life when he had nothing to do. Five years have passed, and he has become a warm man with a cold face, warm heart, and strong strength.
His status in the class is even more exaggerated than Sasuke's. To describe it, it would be "a smile that captivates a hundred 'sisters'". That's right, the scene when Kimimaro shows a smile is a sight to behold, please refer to the scene of fan circle girls seeing their idols showing off.
Unfortunately, his smile was mostly reserved for his own "otouto," which is Naruto. I wonder if he picked up the brother-complex attribute after being in Konoha for so long.
Because of this, Naruto has received countless snacks and small gifts from the young ladies. Of course, most of the time, they come with a pink letter written to Kimimaro.
Naruto said he doesn't refuse anyone. Although Kimimaro isn't interested in them, the snacks are innocent. Although Naruto doesn't eat much, he has a friend who can eat, and Choji is extremely envious, repeatedly saying why he doesn't have a brother like that.
Unfortunately, such days are basically coming to an end, because Kimimaro is graduating.
Konoha Year 57, Kimimaro is 12 years old, graduating at the normal age. In fact, in terms of strength, the current Kimimaro could beat three or five Irukas without much trouble, lacking only experience.
It was Minato who insisted that Kimimaro graduate according to the normal process like ordinary students. Facts have proved that Minato was right. In five years, Kimimaro has changed from a war weapon who lost his goal to a warm man loved by everyone.
...
"Team assignments? I plan to have Kimimaro join Team 4."
At the dinner table, Minato answered with a smile to Naruto's question.
"Team 4?" Naruto felt like it sounded a bit familiar.
"It's the team that Guy, Gan Wen, and Cui are in now."
"Oh~ so it's the blockhead team." Naruto suddenly understood, and continued to ask: "But doesn't that team already have four people?"
Kushina and Kimimaro both looked at Minato, they had the same question. Only Kakashi continued to eat on his own.
That's right, although Kakashi had already come of age, he still often came to Naruto's house for dinner as long as he didn't have a mission. Although Kushina urged him to find a girlfriend every now and then, this guy obviously hasn't made any progress.
Naruto often thought about having his mother match Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi, but his mother told him that Asuma had recently returned to the village and often instructed Kurenai Yuhi, who was still a Chunin, as a Jonin.
So Naruto brainstormed again, thinking that Uzuki Yugao seemed pretty good too, although she had a childhood sweetheart, Hayate Gekko, but that guy might not live to Shippuden, so he wrote it down first; Mitarashi Anko was also good, but he heard that she would turn into a sweet potato in the future? Pending; otherwise, he should let him go to Kirigakure to seduce Mei Terumi, that desperate older sister felt quite compatible with Kakashi; and finally, there was a trump card, let Jiraiya take Kakashi to Nadeshiko Village, the famous daughter village or widow village in the ninja world...
Getting back to the main topic, Minato explained the reason for letting Kimimaro go to Team 4 - in two years, he wanted Guy to lead another team. Although the current Team 4 has good strength, it lacks a calm and wise leader-type figure. Kimimaro should be able to take on the role after two years of training.
Naruto felt that his dad was being too euphemistic. To put it bluntly, the current four are all reckless men, and they need a brain...
The next day, Naruto went to school as usual and was surprised to find a new member in the class
