Qingyun sat lazily next to Namikaze Minato, squinting his eyes, watching the Uchiha Yungang brothers supporting each other and limping towards the infirmary, without saying a word.
After a long while, Namikaze Minato came back to his senses and said, "Brother, do you think they will keep what happened today a secret?"
"Yes, at least in the short term, they will not reveal the details because they know that once my talent is known to the Uchiha leaders, they will definitely try their best to train me.
At that time, they will definitely suffer the consequences of angering me if they break their oath.
They are all smart people and will not put themselves in danger."
Qingyun didn't open his eyes and explained to Namikaze Minato calmly.
However, there was something that Qingyun hadn't said in his mind, which was that the reason why he did so was because he had felt a faint sense of being spied on before, which was vague and Qingyun guessed that it was the Third Hokage who used the telescope Technique to spy on the Ninja School.
The reason why Qingyun, contrary to his usual behavior, defeated the Uchiha and Yungang brothers at lightning speed and said those words at the end was to let the Third Hokage know that he and Uchiha were not the same kind of people.
Qingyun's guess was absolutely correct. At this moment in the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing a Hokage robe, sitting at his desk, stroking his beard and smoking a hookah.
"Interesting little guy. As a member of the Uchiha tribe, he has no feelings for the Uchiha at all. In order to enroll in the ninja school, he even left the Uchiha family name and lived alone on the edge of the Death Forest."
Before, Sarutobi Hiruzen habitually used the telescope Technique to spy on the ninja school. He originally wanted to see if there were any good seedlings with a firm will of fire. Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered that Blue Cloud Shinobi had hidden great strength.
Out of curiosity, he ordered Anbu to investigate Qingyun's origins.
Since Qingyun was not a big shot, Uchiha did not block the news about Qingyun. Soon, Anbu investigated Qingyun's parents and his life from childhood to adulthood, and then reported to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was smoking a hookah and looking at Qingyun's lazy appearance in the crystal ball in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
The Anbu knelt on the ground, without any impatience, waiting for Sarutobi Hiruzen's next instruction.
After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen closed the crystal ball and said calmly: "Seal Qingyun's life story. Everyone, keep it top secret. No one is allowed to access Qingyun's information without my order."
"yes"
Anbu responded and stepped back.
"Little guy, I want to see how far you can go. I hope you have a firm will of fire. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself after Anbu left.
Qingyun naturally didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of him. At this moment, Qingyun had a look of surprise on his face, because the system had just indicated that the up-and-coming mission had been completed.
Qingyun couldn't wait to receive the reward. Suddenly, a set of basic sword techniques was transmitted to Qingyun's mind and was absorbed by Qingyun's huge mental power.
Close your eyes and immerse yourself in the basic sword techniques.
Basic swordsmanship is the origin of thousands of swordsmanship in the world. No swordsmanship in the world can escape the boundaries of basic swordsmanship.
The more he understood, the more Qingyun felt the extraordinary nature of this basic swordsmanship. He resisted the urge to take out the Qingfeng Sword from the system space and practice some basic swordsmanship.
It was not until school started in the afternoon that Qingyun calmed down his excitement.
Listening to Umino Iruki's narration, Qingyun multitasked, pretending to listen carefully while constantly deducing basic sword techniques in his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but after waiting for the bell to ring, Qingyun couldn't wait to pull Namikaze Minato back to his residence in the Forest of Death and told Namikaze Minato to prepare the ingredients.
He took out the Qingfeng Sword, and suddenly, a three-foot-tall Qingfeng sword, almost as tall as Qingyun, was pulled out by Qingyun. He stretched out his short hand and flicked the Qingfeng sword, and a crisp sound was heard.
Qing Cloud Shinobi couldn't help but shout: "Good sword."
He drew out the Qingfeng sword and began to practice the basic sword moves.
Soon, Qingyun finished a set of basic sword techniques. Feeling unsatisfied, he sheathed his sword and began to prepare dinner.
Although Namikaze Minato didn't understand where Qingyun got the strangely shaped sword, he didn't ask much. After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Seeing Qingyun preparing dinner, Namikaze Minato immediately stepped forward to help.
Soon, a sumptuous dinner was ready. Just as the two were about to start eating, an old man in a Hokage robe slowly walked over from a distance. This man was Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Fire, Grandpa Hokage?"
Namikaze Minato rubbed his eyes and found that it was the Third Hokage coming from afar, and he shouted in surprise.
"Greetings, Hokage-sama."
Qingyun looked at the Third Hokage with a puzzled look, not understanding why the other party came here at this time, but this did not prevent Qingyun from pretending to be respectful to salute Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hehe, Minato, Qingyun, why do you live in this place?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen kindly touched Namikaze Minato and Qingyun's heads and asked with a smile.
"I left my family and had nowhere to go, so I stayed here temporarily. Minato and I hit it off right away, and he was afraid that I would be lonely, so he moved in to keep me company."
Qingyun explained in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, his eyes flashed, then dimmed, pretending to be ignorant and asked: "Leaving the family? Is Xiao Qingyun from a big family?"
Qing Yun complained in his heart, but he said without hesitation: "I am originally from the Uchiha tribe.
I have been bullied since I was a child and have never felt any affection from the tribe.
A few days ago, I wanted to sign up for the ninja school exam, but those tribesmen threatened to leave the family.
I had no choice but to do this."
He told his life story half-truthfully, with a few crocodile tears coming out of his eyes.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew Qingyun's life experience, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy after hearing Qingyun's story in person.
Seeing Qingyun crying, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart softened a little, however, this did not completely dispel his doubts, and he continued to ask: "Then why are you so persistent in wanting to enter the ninja school, Qingyun?"
"That's because I want to become stronger. I want to protect myself and my companions. To do all this, I need strong strength. The Ninja School can help me achieve my goal, so I want to enter the Ninja School to study."
Qingyun spoke out the speech he had prepared long ago.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Qingyun, and felt relieved when he saw that Qingyun answered his questions without any hesitation and without any change in his eyes.
"I see. I heard that your dream is to live. Why? Don't you want to be the Hokage? Then you will be the supreme leader of the village and have more people to protect you!"
Hearing this, Qing Yun scratched his head and said: "Minato's dream is to be Hokage, and Minato is my younger brother. How can a big brother compete with a little brother? So I don't want to, hehe!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned by Qingyun's words, then he burst into laughter, and his vigilance towards Qingyun faded a little bit. He continued to ask: "What will you do if Uchiha wants to return to the family in the future?"
"Hokage, my heart is small and can only accommodate those who care about me. Uchiha and I no longer have any ties, so why should I go back? After all, Uchiha has never given me any warmth. On the contrary, although I have spent little time with Minato, I still feel his genuine care.
From now on, there will only be Konoha Qingyun, not Uchiha Qingyun."
Qingyun said sincerely.
After hearing Qingyun's answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Good boy, just call me Grandpa Hokage in the future.
If you need any help in the future, just tell Grandpa.
If I can help, Grandpa will definitely help.
Have you learned to cook for yourself at such a young age? Can you let Grandpa eat something?"
Qingyun was relieved to see that Sarutobi Hiruzen had temporarily dispelled his doubts. When he heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, Qingyun rolled his eyes and pretended to be very happy and invited Sarutobi Hiruzen to dinner.
After getting the consent, Sarutobi Hiruzen grabbed two chicken legs and started to eat them. His mouth was full of oil and he thought to himself: "I didn't expect these two kids to be so young to have such excellent cooking skills. It's really good."
After a long time, when the meal was finished, Sarutobi Hiruzen patted his belly, said goodbye with a satisfied look on his face and left.
Before leaving, he stuffed a handful of silver bills into Qingyun's hand. Qingyun didn't want to accept it, but was forced by Sarutobi Hiruzen in the form of an order, so Qingyun had no choice but to accept it.
Qingyun knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was trying to win him over, but this was exactly what Qingyun wanted. With Sarutobi Hiruzen's support, he would avoid a lot of trouble in the future.
After Sarutobi Hiruzen left, Qingyun drew out the Qingfeng sword and continued to practice basic swordsmanship.
It was not until late at night that he stopped practicing, sitting cross-legged in meditation and cultivating his internal strength.
