Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's firm words.
Mitomon En was also startled. After a short silence, he slowly nodded and said: "I hope you are right, Hiruzen, maybe I am a little sensitive and think too much..."
"Hehe, don't worry, En, Menma will definitely become the most steadfast pillar of our village in the future, just like Minato and Kushina!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that his best friend finally agreed with his approach, and a faint smile appeared on his old face.
Although he can make certain decisions arbitrarily as a Hokage, it is best to have the recognition and support of others!
Not to mention that Mitomon En is still his best friend for forty or fifty years!
If even his best friend doesn't understand and support him, that would be a big problem!
The night time passed quietly.
Then the dawn slowly came.
Entering April!
The breath of spring has become stronger.
The breeze blows down, slowly scattering the falling cherry blossoms.
It also adds a bit of warm color to the Hidden Leaf Village.
Today is the annual opening day of the Hidden Leaf Village Ninja School, and the atmosphere of the entire Hidden Leaf Village has become extremely noisy.
Early in the morning, there were countless children talking excitedly on many streets!
The registration time for the Ninja School has not yet arrived.
There are many parents with their children flocking to the location of the Ninja School!
Menma also got up early. After a simple breakfast, Menma did not go out directly, because Sarutobi Hiruzen had instructed that someone would pick him up to the Ninja School on the day of registration!
As for who it is.
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say.
But Menma can roughly guess that it is nothing more than the Umino Iruka who lost his parents on the night of the Nine-tailed Fox!
A young Konoha ninja with a little talent, but not much!
If nothing unexpected happens.
This person will be the first close person that Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged for Menma to be the "most important"!
Being assigned such an important task by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It is enough to prove that Iruka is 100% trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen in terms of ability and loyalty!
Otherwise, the current Konohagakure Village is not thirty or forty years ago!
The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has a special meaning for Konoha. Not just anyone can get the qualifications and power to approach Menma or even teach Menma!
Take a look at the treatment of the protagonist during his growth period in the original work!
All those who can approach the protagonist are recognized by Sarutobi Hiruzen. After graduation, the class ninja is still Kakashi, the direct subordinate of the Fourth Hokage, and there are also ninjas who are qualified to become Hokage!
Menma in this life will also be 100% treated the same.
Sarutobi Hiruzen will never allow such an important existence as Menma to escape from his control!
Either he or the person he trusts the most can approach Menma!
Menma waited at home for almost half an hour.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
There was a crisp knock on the door.
Menma could not sense it and could not control it at present, but a not very strong chakra breath came from the outside of the door.
Menma's eyebrows raised immediately.
'Are you here? '
Stepped forward directly, came to the entrance, and gently opened the door.
The figure of a young man wearing a Konoha standard vest came into Menma's eyes.
The "familiar" gentle face and the scar on the bridge of the nose.
'Umino Iruka! '
The moment he saw the person coming.
Menma's name appeared in his mind.
This person had a profound impact on the protagonist in the original work, and was the first important supporting role recognized and recognized. He was regarded as a brother by the protagonist of the original work.
For Menma, the mood at this moment was somewhat complicated.
Because from the plot in the original work,
At least this Iruka is one of the few in the original work who is not mixed with any political or other unnecessary factors. He is simply moved by the protagonist and recognizes the existence of the protagonist.
He is the protagonist's first white moonlight!
'You are a gentle person by nature. If possible, I hope to get along with you in a friendly way! '
Menma looked up at Iruka with a calm look, thinking silently in his heart, and asked softly: "That? Excuse me, are you the person who came to pick me up as the third-generation grandfather said?"
"Yes, little Menma, I am a teacher at the ninja school and your future class teacher - Umino Iruka, you can call me Teacher Iruka!"
Iruka bent down slightly and gently touched Menma's little head with a gentle look, and said with a chuckle.
Although Iruka's feelings for Menma at this time were still very complicated.
There was still a little resentment in it.
But firstly, Iruka is a gentle person just like Menma said, and secondly, Iruka is also very clear about the relationship between Menma and the Nine-Tails. As a Chunin, and a person trusted by Sarutobi Hiruzen to entrust important tasks, it is impossible for him not to know about the Jinchuriki!
But his parents died on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion after all!
If you want Iruka to say that he has no grudge against Menma, then it must be a lie. He just restrained his emotion very well!
Perhaps in Iruka's eyes.
Menma is just a poor child.
"Yes, Iruka-sensei!"
Menma is naturally not aware of the complex emotions in Iruka's heart. Kagura's heart eye is not so perverted that it can see through people's hearts. It is just a powerful chakra search ability. Menma can capture a trace of changes in human emotions.
That is still based on his being the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.
Malice perception ability, that is more or less attached!
Negative emotions can naturally be detected, but only a little bit!
Menma is only six years old now!
"Well, let's go, it's about time!"
Iruka, with a touch of gentleness, stretched out his right hand to Menma.
Even if there is no reference to the plot in the original book.
Just the fact that Iruka can treat Menma with such an attitude is indeed precious!
At least he is worthy of his teacher status!
"Yeah!"
Menma also stretched out his left hand without any hesitation and held Iruka's hand. Two figures, one big and one small, left the dilapidated apartment building.
They went straight to the location of the Hidden Leaf Village Ninja School.
Parents with their children going to the Ninja School can be seen everywhere along the way. Most of them are from civilian families!
When these people saw Menma, their faces changed, and the malice was revealed.
It was only when they saw Iruka wearing the Konoha standard vest that they barely restrained themselves.
These naked malice.
Menma could certainly sense it.
