Chapter 772 Little Beauty
Time passed quickly, and Ethan lived quietly in Muye Village. Although there was a small disturbance, the old man who adopted him died of a serious illness when he was eight years old.
Ethan personally sent the old man away and protected the old man's soul so that he could be sent to heaven to enjoy a carefree and happy life in the future.
Konoha also asked Ethan what he meant, and considered arranging him to live in an orphanage, or arranging another guardian.
However, Ethan has the inheritance left by his 'grandpa', and before the old man died, he also gave Ethan the inheritance of his 'biological parents' that he took over.
Ethan is not short of money, as long as he uses the money at hand reasonably, it will be enough to support him until he graduates from the ninja school.
So he rejected the suggestion given by Muye Village and chose to live alone - if it wasn't for fear of attracting attention, Ethan could grow up without eating or drinking, but then Orochimaru and Danzo would kill and try to dissect he.
Konoha did not continue to entangle with this matter, and did not forcefully arrange him into the orphanage, because Ethan is currently considered "one of his own".
Ethan is already an honorable Konoha Ninja School student.
As a child of Konoha Village, when the age reaches the standard, they will be sent to the ninja school for basic tests.
Those with good aptitude and potential will stay and become students of Ninja School, that is, reserve members of Konoha Ninja. Ethan lives in Konoha Village, and of course this hurdle is inevitable.
What's more, for many ordinary people, becoming a "Ninja-sama" is something that can be woken up from a dream. Many families hope that their children can succeed, and the fastest way in this world is to become a ninja.
The ninja school in Muye Village has given countless civilian families such an opportunity. No child is unwilling to become a ninja, and no one will prevent their children from entering the school.
If Ethan doesn't want to be a 'strange guy', of course he has to take the test. Considering his own situation, he has controlled his strength very well, so that he is not surprising among countless ordinary children, but he is not bad. File, and then successfully mixed into the ninja reserve army.
In this way, he became the successor of the Will of Fire. Although Ethan felt that no one in Konoha would think that he could inherit the so-called Will of Fire, after all, he was just a ninja student who was born as a commoner. No one can be sure.
However, the benefits of joining the ninja school are still obvious. At least Konoha will properly consider Ethan's personal thoughts. If he is an ordinary civilian orphan, how can he speak?
In addition, Ethan has no more troubles in his life in this world. He buys some cheap food every day, cooks some simple meals by himself, occasionally purchases a few humble daily necessities, and even the various things that need to be used. All kinds of ninja tools try to buy cheap goods or simply make substitutes by hand.
In the eyes of the people in Muye Village, Ethan is a very sensible, frugal and good boy. Many neighbors will even make more fish, meat and eggs for Ethan. Although these neighbors don't need anything in return, they still They will soon find that the firewood in their homes has been chopped, or the damaged doors and windows have been repaired.
Therefore, although Ethan lived peacefully and did not do any earth-shattering events, the neighbors loved him very much. What's more, as Ethan grew up, he gradually grew up into a jade-carved man. Little beauty (no wrong adjective!), beautiful and sensible child, who would hate it?
No one knew how painful and entangled Ethan was in the countless 'choices'.
Do you want to contact Uzumaki Naruto?
Still don't want it anymore, the current situation of Uzumaki Naruto is basically created on purpose, the old man of the third generation still uses a crystal ball to spy on Uzumaki Naruto's situation from time to time, and there is also the old ghost Danzo who is also paying attention secretly. If you bump into it recklessly, it will have the same effect as stabbing a hornet's nest, and your peaceful life will definitely be over.
So not only is Ethan not planning to get in touch with Uzumaki Naruto, even though he has a lot of topics to get close to him now, he has never thought about getting in touch with the protagonist of the plot.
So it seems good not to touch Naruto, but to touch some other people? For example, the cute Hinata Hinata?
I remember that in the plot, Hinata Hinata was bullied by a few brats when she was young, and then rescued by Naruto... It seems that Naruto was involved again, not to mention that Ethan felt that it was a very bad habit to tease little girls all day long. So put that idea aside.
As for the kidnapping incident that led to the death of Ningji Hinata's father, there were more people and things involved in it. What's more, even his own brother can simply let his younger brother die, so what's the matter with him as an outsider?
The remaining Uchiha Shirou... No, Sasuke-san was also stared at by countless eyes, touching him was also causing trouble for himself.
What's more, Sasuke, who was born in a wealthy family, has become very awkward since his family was wiped out. He probably wouldn't talk to himself who was born as a commoner.
Relying on these reasons, Ethan spent one tangled night after another.
As for cultivation, right now he is not in a hurry to practice at all, the fusion of himself and the rules is still going on, and he doesn't know how long it will take to complete.
He just practiced ninjutsu and chakra casually. This thing is too simple, so he figured it out after just looking at it. He only made a small amount of chakra for the sake of keeping a low profile, and then worked hard to control himself not to use it in school. Too pushy.
However, as he got older, his classmates gradually decreased, and the number of students from commoner backgrounds decreased rapidly. Ethan still received some attention now.
For example, the ninja teachers who were born as civilians in the school, as well as the neighbors, would cheer up Ethan. Some ninja teachers even hinted: If you have any questions that you don’t understand, you can come and ask yourself at any time, you are welcome.
After all, ninjas of commoner origin are incomparable with those of family origin. After returning home, the children of family origin will be given all-round guidance by the elders in the family, and there are even family secrets waiting to be learned.
Those of civilian origin can only learn knowledge in school, and no one will teach them one-on-one, and there may even be some misunderstandings, and as a result, they did not wake up until the day they died in battle.
Therefore, during the war, the ninjas who died the most would always be those of poor background. If it hadn't been for so many years of peace, Konoha would not be able to 'accumulate' so many ninjas of civilian origin.
For the kindness of these 'senior', Ethan still maintains his polite gratitude, and occasionally chooses some questions that are not easy or difficult to ask, which is considered as not wasting their kindness.
It was just like that until the last year. Ethan was twelve years old. As the day of graduation approached, he found that there were not many students left in the whole grade.
He still remembered that only nine of these dozens of students became outstanding ninjas.
The rest completed their studies in ninja schools, but like most commoner ninjas, they did not have any commendable achievements.
"It seems that I count myself in..."
He is now one of these commoner ninjas. He thought about whether he would run into a strict teacher who led the team, and then said that if he failed the assessment, he would return to school.
But after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that Konoha needs elites, but it also needs a large amount of cannon fodder. If it is a time of war, these civilian ninjas will be used as cannon fodder.
And in peacetime, there are also a lot of low-level tasks waiting to be completed. You can't all expect those elites to do tasks such as catching cats and cleaning up garbage, right?
As for the young ninja who just graduated? How many can there be in a year? Therefore, most of the low-level tasks have to be done by the ninja who were born as civilians.
In other words, if Ethan continues to behave tepidly, then what awaits him is to graduate successfully, become a ninja, and then fall into almost endless low-level tasks, running around non-stop every day to earn meager rewards... …
"It seems quite boring..."
He has been honestly holding back for twelve years, and now he can't hold it anymore, and always wants to do something... So he made something a little bit, and gave the famous genius Sasuke Uchiha to him in a gym sparring defeated.
"Oh oh oh oh..."
The surrounding students didn't care what the reason was, especially a certain child of the world known as the tail of the crane, who was more excited than anyone else when he saw Uchiha Sasuke deflated.
What's more, because Ethan is usually very low-key, his performance in all subjects is at the same level, and his appearance is very deceptive, the first impression is 'he must not be good at physical skills! '.
That's why when Ethan defeated Sasuke with physical skills, it caused such a big reaction.
"The winner is Ethan, well, you two can come down now."
Seeing Sasuke Uchiha, Iruka wanted to rush up, so he immediately terminated the competition and announced that Ethan had won, and recorded the result.
Perhaps because of such an outstanding performance, Ethan will be given a little more attention and assigned a more reliable leader teacher, which may change the fate of a civilian ninja.
As for Sasuke? He doesn't need these things at all.
Of course Ethan knew why Iruka did this, but he couldn't thank Iruka directly for this kind of thing. It would be embarrassing for everyone to say it, so it's better to pretend not to know.
The matter did not end here. When school was over that day, Ethan was stopped by Sasuke not far from the school.
"I want to compete in taijutsu with you again!" Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and stared at Ethan with a gloomy face: "I absolutely can't lose to a girl..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sasuke fell to the ground again.
"After all these years of being a classmate, you haven't even figured out my gender?"
