Chapter 772: Sarutobi Hiruzen's Thoughts

With the end of this duel, this special entrance examination finally came to an end.

Although the field was filled with fog for most of the time in this duel, so many people could not see the whole picture, this did not prevent everyone from judging the situation of the previous game based on the situation in the field.

Uchiha Zhi and the other three were almost unscathed, but the white-haired senior ninja in a vest had a cut on his chest, and it was obvious who won and who lost.

Not only that, the dazzling ninjutsu displayed by the three people in the field in this duel made the children next to them who were also from the ninja clan dumbfounded.

Among them, most of them only mastered one or two ninjutsu, and they were already called the elites of the clan. On the other hand, what about the three Uchiha?

Fire escape, water escape, earth escape, shadow clone... all kinds of ninjutsu are almost at hand.

——Compared with the Uchiha people, they are too different.

It was also because of this that when Mu Qingzhi returned to her original position with a bit of depression, she received the respectful gazes of the people around her. Even the members of the Hyuga clan, who had never been very friendly with the Uchiha clan, looked at them with awe.

Uchiha Itachi completely ignored these gazes that he had seen many times in the clan before, and instead kept looking at Mu Qingzhi's right wrist next to him with worry. But for Uchiha Izumi, she seemed a little thin-skinned and uneasy.

She knew her own affairs best. In the duel just now, she almost didn't make any contribution, but instead dragged down a lot. She felt ashamed of the gazes cast by the people around her.

Unconsciously, she stood a little closer to Zhi.

... I don't know why, when she stood next to him, she always had an inexplicable sense of security.

In addition... she felt that the herbal fragrance emanating from him was very good.

……………………………………………

After the assessment, it was the daily leader's speech.

The principal of the ninja school is the third-generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. In such an important occasion for the admission of new students, he must come out to speak.

In fact, what he said was all old-fashioned, nothing more than some words about the will of fire, my encouragement to students and the prospect of the future. Mu Qingzhi was drowsy listening to it, but she couldn't pretend to be drowsy.

But putting this aside, Sarutobi Hiruzen's speech was still very infectious. During his speech on the stage, Mu Qingzhi even saw several students burst into tears because of it...

"Sarutobi Hiruzen... looks younger?"

Looking up at the passionate speech of the third-generation Hokage on the stage, Mu Qingzhi looked thoughtful.

Like Uchiha Itachi, Sarutobi Hiruzen is also a very controversial character in Naruto. During the years when Sarutobi Hiruzen served as Hokage, the overall strength of Konoha declined sharply, while the strength of the Sarutobi clan rose sharply.

In the eyes of some people, the other party's reputation is even inferior to Danzo. After all, Danzo is a real villain, and Sarutobi Hiruzen is an out-and-out hypocrite.

However, from what she has observed now, the facts seem to be a little different from what she imagined...?

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage, Mu Qingzhi's face looked a little subtle.

Now it is the 52nd year of Konoha, and the Nine-tailed Rebellion has just passed for less than a year. In other words, Uzumaki Naruto should be only one year old now, living in a hidden corner of Konoha under the care of the Anbu.

...Maybe I can observe how the rumor about Naruto's nine-tailed demon fox came from?

While Mu Qingzhi was wandering in the sky, Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage was also observing her calmly.

It has been more than two weeks since the last invasion of Kumogakure. Such a long time is enough for the Anbu to search for all the information about the other party.

To some extent, the other party's family background is unbelievably clean. Both of his parents died to protect the people of Konoha, and they can be regarded as the orphans of martyrs.

The conspiracy theory about Uchiha that he was worried about before was actually not true. The other party seemed to be very close to Shisui recently, and perhaps he could find a way to win him over.

In addition, the things that the other party showed in this test also moved him slightly. Fire escape, earth escape, water escape, and even a faint lightning escape. There is no doubt that the other party should be proficient in all attributes like him. As long as time is given for the other party to grow up, with the other party's talent, the other party will be a veritable super all-round ninja.

If you ask who can inherit his mantle, then the other party is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

... Maybe I can try to accept her as a disciple?

This idea passed through his mind for a moment, and Sarutobi Hiruzen buried it in his heart again.

“Ah… I hate leaders speaking…”

Lying down on the grass, Mu Qingzhi looked exhausted.

Although she guessed that Sarutobi Hitoshi was a good speaker, she never expected that he would speak for more than three hours. Although standing on the stage for three hours was nothing, it was undoubtedly a huge mental torture.

“………”

Pursing his lips, Uchiha Itachi pretended that he didn’t hear it.

Uchiha Izumi: “………”

It was already near the afternoon. The entrance exam was declared over half an hour ago. The class assignment will be given tomorrow, and tomorrow is also the official enrollment period.

This afternoon is a rare free time.

“Let’s go… eh?”

Suddenly sitting up from the grass, Mu Qingzhi was about to say something when she saw Uchiha Itachi coming to her without knowing when.

“I prepared two lunch boxes. Do you want to eat?”

Uchiha Itachi took the lunch box in his hand and handed it to her, his face unchanged.

Mu Qingzhi: “………”

“Ahem… I will definitely eat it. After all, it’s a waste if I don’t eat it. Who won’t eat it if it’s free? But we are eating next to each other, and Izumi is alone…”

“I also brought it.”

Uchiha Izumi was a little embarrassed when he took out the lunch box prepared by his mother from his package.

"Can I sit here and eat with you? I actually held back a lot during the previous assessment, so I want to..."

"It's okay, sit down, I'll make way for you."

Before the other party finished speaking, Mu Qingzhi moved to the side without hesitation, and at the same time reached out and patted the grass.

"I've already said it, from today on, we are friends, and there's no need to be polite between friends."

"Uh..."

"………"

Looking at this scene in front of him, Uchiha Itachi's eyes were dim.
