Chapter 31: Examination paper, all living beings, the feelings of the Third Hokage

Sarutobi Hiruzen neatly opened the bag of sealed test papers.

I started reading from the first paper, smoking and holding a red pen in hand to carefully correct the students.

This set of test papers was carefully prepared by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although the difficulty is slightly higher, in contrast, the top-notch propositions can better reveal the answerer's level and inner truth from the answers.

As the third generation Hokage of Konoha and the honorary principal of the Ninja School, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually rarely participates in Ninja School affairs except for speaking at the beginning and graduation of school.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not just trying to test Qing Shui this time, but also wanted to check the will of fire of the entire Ninja School students.

"Nohara Rin."

This was the first paper Sarutobi Hiruzen read. The beautiful handwriting on it first won the Hokage's favor.

"Not bad... Although the thinking is still a bit naive, the subject still has the will of fire. This is a child from a commoner family. It is already rare to have such an insight."

"Oh, there is also something about Uchiha Qingshui, tsk tsk..."

In the last big question [Describe the understanding of the will of fire], Nohara Lin used Qing Shui's selfless preparation to share ninjutsu and palm senjutsu with her as an example, thinking that this was a realistic manifestation of the will of fire.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nohara Rin was right. She took the initiative to share ninjutsu with civilian ninjas. Isn't this considered the will of fire?

What's even more interesting is that Hiruzen Sarutobi keenly captured a hint of emotion in Nohara Rin's words...

"Young man, this is where the bond is born. Very good, very good..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and gave Nohara Rin's test paper a high score of eighty-seven.

This good start made the Third Hokage very happy, and he was looking forward to the performance of other students.

"Metkay."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the test paper with a smile, his expression gradually changed, and he sighed helplessly.

The whole test paper is full of youth, youth, youth!

Discipline is youth, the will of fire is youth, both the ninja clan and civilian ninjas are youth! !

Even for him, the Third Hokage, Metkai listed various examples in detail to prove that he is a youthful Hokage.

After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen still laughed: "Youth? Funny little guy, I am indeed not old yet..."

"Although this child's theoretical knowledge is somewhat lacking, the positivity in his heart and his love for Konoha can be seen through the test paper."

"Good boy, come on."

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Metkai eighty-three points and wrote a special comment for him: "I look forward to the day when your youth will bloom."

In Metkai's test paper, it was mentioned that Qing Shui healed his wounds.

He believes that Qing Shui is a model of the combination of youth and the will of fire, and is the goal of his study and pursuit.

So far, these two test papers that satisfied Sarutobi Hiruzen both had Qing Shui's name on them.

This made him look forward to Qing Shui's answer even more.

"Obito Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious. Anbu had once made a report to him about this seven-year-old Uchiha genius who had opened the double magatama.

Then, ANBU gave information that Uchiha Obito was suspected of having contact with Setsuna Uchiha, the hawk clan elder of the Uchiha clan who had tried to launch an armed rebellion.

"The genius and hawk of the Uchiha clan..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of his cigarette. The combination of these two words would make him very troublesome even if he was the Hokage of Konoha. This was considered one of the most difficult problems in Konoha at the moment.

After seeing Uchiha Obito's answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows furrowed, and in the end it was like they were twisted into knots.

Among Uchiha Obito's answers, the main part is about the Uchiha clan.

With strength as the core argument, it elaborates on the superiority of the Uchiha clan's dominant position in Konoha after the disbandment of the Senju clan, and explains everything that Uchiha Setsuna has recently instilled in him...

In the end, he reluctantly used the will of fire to combine with the Uchiha clan and talked nonsense, but Sarutobi Hiruzen had no patience to watch anymore.

"Shinnosuke, keep an eye on this Uchiha Obito, and let the Anbu shift the focus of monitoring the Uchiha clan to him and Uchiha Setsuna as appropriate."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who was sitting opposite and working with him, nodded: "I understand, father."

As the eldest son of the Third Hokage, his current position is the ANBU Captain, in charge of all ANBU affairs.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke watched his father's expression change from pleasant to extremely ugly. He curiously took Uchiha Obito's test paper. After a moment, his eyes narrowed.

"This kid has a big problem...According to my information, the Uchiha Hawks have had contact with him. It seems that he has been deeply affected. Does he need further treatment, father?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand: "Words can reveal people's hearts, just strengthen surveillance."

After calming down, Sandai silently rummaged through Qing Shui's test papers.

He originally wanted to read the test papers of all the students in the examination room one by one.

This was fair to him as Hokage, but Uchiha Obito's paper gave him a small Kenji shock, so much so that Sarutobi Hiruzen no longer wanted to wait.

If Qing Shui is similar to Uchiha Obito...

"Impossible, Qing Shui can't be like this. He is a descendant of Jing, and he is so kind..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself, quickly found Qing Shui's test paper, and read it very seriously.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke's ears twitched.

Not only his Hokage father, but also his younger brother Sarutobi Asuma, all mentioned this name accidentally recently.

How could a brat from the Uchiha clan have such influence in the Sarutobi family...

Seeing the change in his father's expression, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was even more curious from the bottom of his heart.

When he was reading Obito Uchiha's test paper just now, Hiruzen Sarutobi's serious expression disappeared, with a heartfelt smile on his face, and he seemed to be reading Qing Shui's answers from the beginning again.

"...Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire will continue to grow...and new leaves will be born..."

"Fallen flowers are not heartless things, into Chunni more quadrangle…"

Sarutobi Hiruzen repeated these two sentences in a low voice, his eyes lit up, and he tapped the table gently.

This was written in his heart.

Especially in the first sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have a tragic scene before his eyes: a Hokage, sacrificing himself to protect the promising future generations of the village.

"Teacher, I miss you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the Senju Tobirama photo frame not far away and whispered: "Please rest assured, I will not hesitate to sacrifice myself for the sake of the village..."

He once again recalled the scene where Qianju Tojian cut off the queen for the six of them. This was a regret that he would never forget in his life.

Complaints: How did you die after Qian Shu Fei was interrupted...

My evaluation is that Senju Tobirama didn’t know he could fly the Thunder God at that time...
