"Did you tell him everything?" Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing the Hokage hat, lit a pipe and carefully read the mission report of Mitarashi Shisho. It was filled with information about Duke, including that his bloodline limit had been awakened and what happened last night.

"Yes, Lord Hokage." Mitarashi Shishao nodded simply without defending himself.

"Aren't you afraid that he will hate this village because of this?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe one after another, his face covered with smoke, his sharp eyes piercing Mitarashi Shishao, and the unique aura of Hokage instantly rose to its peak.

"I'm more afraid that he will be disappointed in me..." Mitarai Shishao ignored the majesty emanating from Sarutobi Hiruzen and said from the bottom of his heart: "As a ninja, I am not qualified... But I don't regret it. I am willing to bear all the consequences of this matter, no matter what the consequences are."

Another Sakumo? Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.

Mission or emotion, this is the choice every ninja will face. Ninjas are seen as tools without emotions, or rather, tools without emotions are the most standard template for ninjas, but before becoming tools, ninjas are first individuals, and as long as they are human, no one can completely erase their emotions.

"Hokage-sama..."

“…” Asuma, although he couldn’t understand, he seemed very powerful.

"..." Hong, doesn't that mean we only know your name? We are indeed a family, and we have the same style of introducing ourselves.

The four of them talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the training ground. After going deeper, they stopped beside a small river.

"No need to thank me. It's just that since the child has awakened Mizunotsuki's bloodline, the teacher I arranged for him before is no longer suitable. Minato is excellent and I trust him very much, but after what happened last night..."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Duke stared at the purple-haired decadent man in front of him, muttering to himself. This shouldn't be the case. You seem to be very busy, how do you still have time to lead the team? If you don't do your job properly, you might lose your job.

Asuma looked desperate upon hearing this, but soon his fighting spirit was high. After Zixiao's reminder, he stood up and said, "My name is Sarutobi Asuma, I like..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and smiled: "This is the real Konoha ninja."

"Hong's parents are very strict. She is usually very polite to others. Even if she hates the cake, she won't throw it into the trash can in front of you. It's not the cake that she hates...it's you, right!"

"First of all, let's introduce ourselves! For example, what you like, what you hate, and what your dreams and hobbies are, so that everyone can get to know each other better." Yutarashi Shixiao clapped his hands to draw the attention of the three whispering people back: "Let's start with me, the teacher!"

"I don't think Hong threw your cake into the trash can entirely because she hates sweets." Duke leaned over to look at the small notebook in Asuma's hand and whispered.

"My name is Duke Mitarai. I don't have any particular likes or dislikes. As for my dreams... it seems that there are no particular ones. As for my hobbies... they are also varied."

"What do you mean?"

What happened to the promise of not to blame? Where has the basic trust between people gone? The other two members of the team are the youngest son of the Hokage and the daughter of the current acting head of the Anbu. So impressive, so impressive. Together with the adopted son of the former head of the Anbu, what a powerful second-generation combination. This kid is really a pitfall. My knee has been shattered. I'm afraid I will have to spend the rest of my life on my knees! On the rooftop, a purple-haired middle-aged man wearing a Jonin vest faced the Hokage Rock with tears in his eyes. Hokage-sama, am I here to be a babysitter? The ninjutsu these two kids have learned at home is enough for them to learn for a lifetime. Do they really need me to teach them ninjutsu? "Nice to meet you. I'm Konoha Jonin, Mitarashi Shisho!"

—————————————————————————————————————————————— ——————————

"How could this happen?" Asuma was shocked and clenched his teeth. He had finally passed the graduation exam and was assigned to the same class as Hong. If he was really eliminated, his father at home... would never be eliminated even if it cost him his life.

"..." Zixiao, from now on he will have to face this jerk even during the day, and the time he is cheated will be multiplied by two. When he thought of this, his headache started to come out!

Duke scratched his head, not panicking at all. The routine of snatching bells is a common one in Konoha. Jiraiya and Naruto have experienced it before. The purpose of the mission is not for the Genin to snatch the bells from the senior Jonin teacher, but to show themselves in front of the senior teacher. The difference is that Sarutobi Hiruzen attaches importance to the basic strength of the team, while Kakashi pays more attention to the unity of the team members.

"But..." Hong pointed at the forehead protector and asked, "Aren't we already registered as Genin?"

"Teacher, is it okay to use kunai?" Duke suddenly spoke, and while attracting Zixiao's attention, he threw out the kunai in his hand and quickly formed seals with both hands.

"Is there any senior ninja in Konoha who is very familiar with Duke?" Mitarashi Shixiao had a bad feeling.

"I know this person. He often drinks tea with my dad at home... and his last name is also Yutarai..." Asuma whispered to the two of them, then stared at Duke.

"As I said earlier, my name is Yutarashi Zixiao. Yes, I am Duke's adoptive father. I don't have any particular favorite things. What I hate is... Duke. My dreams and hobbies are all confidential. Sorry, I won't tell you."

"The new teacher leading the team must be very familiar with the child, and there must be a bond between them."

“…”

"Ahem!" The scene was awkward for a while, and Zixiao coughed twice to end the awkward silence.

"How do you mean?"

"He is my adoptive father. It's a sad story!" Duke waved his hands with a look of disgust.

"My name is Kurenai Yuhi. My favorite food is wasabi octopus. I hate sweets, such as cake. My dream is to become a powerful female ninja like Tsunade-sama. My hobby... should be learning illusions!" Kurenai was the first to introduce herself. She looked timid and cute. "So Kurenai hates sweets. I didn't know that... No wonder she threw the cake I gave her into the trash can last time. I was upset for several days. It turns out that the gift was wrong." Asuma took out a small notebook from his tool bag and wrote down every word Kurenai said.

"The team leader and the guardian are the same person, so I'm at a huge loss, right? I also want a jonin teacher with both good character and excellent conduct!" Duke looked up at the sky and said worriedly.

"..." Duke. You said nothing except that you hate me. How much do you hate me? "..." Asuma and Hong. I know nothing about your complicated family background. Is this introduction meaningful? "Then let's start from the right and introduce each of you one by one!"

Playing shogi with the girl I like... What a pure dream! Duke thought to himself what he would do if he was with the girl he liked. Is there any need to think about it? What else can he do besides girls? "Well...ah! Shogi is a good hobby!" Zixiao praised insincerely, thinking that he was worthy of being the son of the third generation, with a family tradition of learning. He started to flirt with girls at a young age, but his level was a little lacking.

"I see! But he doesn't look motivated. Is that okay?" Hong was worried. It was bad enough that there were two weird guys in the team, but she didn't expect that the teacher in charge was even more unreliable.

"What? How boring!" Asuma said unhappily.

"I don't blame you. This mission can be considered a failure, but it can also be considered a success. Because you gave that child a bond, and you taught that child the will of fire! You did a great job!"

"Is there already a mission? Great, what is the mission? To assassinate the Third Hokage?" Asuma said excitedly.

"It's just acting, it's not such a dangerous mission. Besides, there's no way that Konoha's ninjas would assassinate the Hokage... Don't say that again!" Zixiao forced a smile. The naughty boy's words put a lot of pressure on him, although sometimes he also wanted to do that.

Just now, amid Asuma's cheers, Mr. Aida announced that Duke, Asuma, and Hong would form a new team, and then they were taken to the rooftop by the zombie-faced, purple-haired teacher.

"As a jonin instructor, I have the authority to veto your ninja status."

"After the introductions just now, everyone has gotten to know each other. So starting today, the Zixiao class is officially established!" Zixiao stood up and led the three people to the Konoha training ground: "Today we have a mission that must be completed, a mission that only our Zixiao class can complete."

Asuma secretly glanced at Hong beside him, and when he saw the look she gave him, he immediately looked straight ahead and continued, "My favorite food is sausages, and my dislike for food is sweets, especially cakes. My dream... is to play shogi with the girl I like."

"Hasn't it always been there?" Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled like a fox: "Although the identities are not suitable, that's not a problem. In extraordinary times, there are naturally extraordinary measures!"

"From today on, I will be your jonin instructor." Yutarai Shixiao had a blank expression on his face, looking listless. Just now, he, the head of the Anbu, Yutarai Shixiao, was dismissed, and the position of head was temporarily replaced by the deputy head, who was in charge of all matters of the Anbu. He was demoted to a special consultant of the Anbu, and it was just a figurehead.

"..." Yutemashi Zixiao. Kids these days are really... Can I hit someone? I think I can!

"I have two bells in my hand. Your task is to snatch them from me before dark. There are three of you, but I only have two bells. This means that one of you will fail the mission. The one who fails will return to school to repeat the course, which means at least one person will be eliminated. Of course, it is also possible that all three will be eliminated." Zixiao tied the two bells around his waist, put away his smile, and said seriously: "If you don't have the determination to kill me, you won't be able to snatch the bells. There is no such thing as mercy in a ninja's battle."

A breeze passed by, and a big hand was placed on Duke's shoulder. Zixiao said, "I knew you would do this, kid. Don't be impatient. There is plenty of time. Wait until I say start before you can attack!"

So fast... When did you get behind me?

Duke loosened his hand and couldn't believe it. It wasn't so fast last time. Was he letting it go? If all the jonin were this fast, how fast would the golden light flash?

"So fast!" Asuma and Hong turned to look at Zixiao and swallowed their saliva. Their eyes couldn't keep up at all. Could they really grab the bell? "Start!"
