Minato

When Kirito left the Uchiha Clan, he had already adjusted his mood and did not continue to be angry at Uchiha Homura for not accepting his suggestions.

Thinking about it now, he didn't need to be angry at all; his partner was Chizuru, not that old guy Uchiha Homura.

Of course, he actually wanted to plan ahead so that Chizuru would encounter less resistance when reforming the Uchiha clan in the future.

However, Uchiha Homura, an old guy, wasn't worth it, so he couldn't make up his mind to eradicate the cancer within the Uchiha clan.

Ever since Nono's store was oppressed by the scum of the Uchiha clan, he has been secretly investigating the Uchiha Guard, giving him a more detailed understanding of its workings.

There are now about 1000 ninjas of the Uchiha clan, and the Uchiha Guard has more than 800 people in it, but only more than 500 actually do things.

The rest are only useless scum.

Since Konoha's real inhabited area isn't very large, many security personnel aren't needed, and ninjas have numerous ninjutsu to assist in investigations. Kirito feels that more than 500 daily officers in the security team are too many.

There are only more than 300 people who work; there are more idlers than workers. These individuals usually only need to hold a job in the security force to receive a salary with peace of mind. Life is so enjoyable.

Undoubtedly, these people are leeches on the system.

Poor other civilian ninjas have to work hard all day long to earn money to support their families.

Therefore, it's not without reason that civilian ninjas resent the Uchiha clan. They are envious of the Uchiha clan's privilege.

Not to mention the jealousy of civilian ninjas, Kirito himself felt a twinge of jealousy.

His salary is earned from his daily work in the sealing class and the hospital; it's hard-earned money.

Why can the ninjas of the Uchiha clan receive wages without having to work?

Thinking about it makes people feel psychologically unbalanced.

It's true that the Uchiha clan is cold to Konoha's people, and they're disliked in return.

But these ninjas of the Uchiha clan are not satisfied yet; they want more to fill the emptiness in their hearts caused by idleness.

"Their character is unpleasant, with no one in the high-level taking responsibility. Many clan members usually eat idly. They use the system to provide them with secure jobs without having to work. They believe that the leadership hasn't given them enough, and they're not even satisfied with their current power. They want to rebel, so unreasonable. they deserve to be rooted out."

Kirito looked at several members of the security team walking past shoulder to shoulder on the main road. He detected a strong smell of alcohol on them and sneered inwardly.

See, drinking at work and causing disturbances.

What a group of top-notch individuals.

The Uchiha garrison must be reformed; otherwise, it will be extremely challenging for the Uchiha clan to change their image in the hearts of the Konoha people.

Unfortunately, from the current perspective, this reform is still a long way off.

"I really want to grow up quickly; I'm still too young."

Feeling a little discomfort that his suggestions couldn't be implemented, Kirito looked at his immature hands and suddenly felt a desire to mature quickly.

Only when he grows up can he occupy a high position in Konoha, attract more people, and then build Konoha into what he wants.

Although he has the strength of jonin now, in the eyes of some seniors, he still needs further development.

"In another year, when I'm ten years old, I'll visit the battlefield. If you want to sway public opinion, you have to show enough outstanding achievements. Didn't Namikaze Minato also rely on his impressive record to silence those noisy seniors?"

At this moment, Kirito recalled what Orochimaru had said to him in the hospital before.

"Classmate Kirito."

Suddenly, Kirito heard someone calling him from behind, bringing him back to reality. He turned around and saw a little yellow-haired boy.

It was Namikaze Minato, who was in the same grade as him but older by five months. he was now nine years old.

"It's Minato, long time no see."

Although Kirito and Minato hadn't interacted much, they were considered friends from their few games together and sparring sessions, so he warmly greeted him.

"Well, it's been a while since you graduated and went to the medical class." Minato smiled.

"Hey, you've applied for early graduation from Konoha?"

Kirito finally noticed the Konoha forehead guard on Minato's left arm and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I applied for graduation from Mr. Aoki yesterday and passed the test today. I'm now a Konoha ninja."

Minato proudly displayed the Konoha forehead protector on his left arm.

"Congratulations! How about I treat you to something to celebrate?"

Kirito congratulated.

"No need for that. Mr. Aoki and a few good friends have already prepared a celebration banquet for me. I'm heading there now. Kirito, you can come too; there will be more people."

Minato waved to explain and then invited Kirito to join him.

Kirito considered Minato's proposal and found it quite good. Since he hadn't had dinner yet, it was a good opportunity to share a meal and strengthen his friendship with Minato, the Konoha genius.

He quickly formed a seal, creating a shadow clone, and instructed the clone to return to Nawaki's house to explain the situation.

"Kirito, can you also ask Kushina to come along?" Minato suddenly spoke with an awkward expression.

"kushina ?"

Kirito was puzzled by Minato's request and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Kushina hasn't been to school for a while, and some female classmates who are close to her are concerned and want to meet up with her."

Minato explained hurriedly, his face blushing slightly.

"Hmm, interesting. Didn't expect him to set his sights on Kushina so soon. No wonder in the original story, when Kushina was captured by those musclehead of kumo, He was the first to save her and achieved the heroic save the beauty trophie," Kirito thought to himself, watching Minato spin such a flimsy lie.

He couldn't help but feel amused and sighed inwardly at Minato's antics.

"Ah, forget it if it's inconvenient."

Seeing Kirito's puzzled expression, Minato immediately blushed and apologized for his awkwardness.

"I'm sorry, Kushina is still recovering, so she may not be able to make it to your celebration banquet. However, I can invite Nawaki instead."

Kirito said regretfully, which was true. Kushina had just completed the Nine-Tails sealing and needed time to adapt to its power. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to leave the Senju land or Mito's side at the moment.

"It's alright, Kushina's health is more important," Minato responded, his disappointment evident as he accepted Kirito's explanation.

As for Kirito's suggestion to invite Nawaki, Minato seemed to overlook it and continued walking forward with a sullen expression.

Kirito noticed Minato's disappointed expression and decided not to press further about inviting Nawaki instead of Kushina. He followed Minato silently as they made their way to a familiar place, the Yakushi Gourmet Center.

"Minato has good taste," Kirito thought to himself as he saw Minato's choice of the Yakushi Gourmet Center for the celebration banquet.

"Welcome."

As they entered, they were greeted by a familiar gentle voice, belonging to none other than Yakushi Nano herself.

Nono, now ten years old, had grown taller than Kirito due to girls' rapid development. She stood at 1.4 meters and had become quite a beauty with her growing figure. No longer needing transformation jutsu to appear as an adult, she had reached Chunin-level strength.

"Hey, a rare guest. Why have you graced us with your presence today?" Nono said with a hint of dissatisfaction upon seeing Kirito.

Kirito, who had been visiting the Yakushi Gourmet House less frequently since graduating from ninja school and moving to Nawaki house, didn't seem to notice Nono discontent. He playfully responded, "I ran into Minato on the way. Since he graduated and became a ninja today, I couldn't refuse his invitation. No need to be polite, I'll pay if there's not enough money."

With a playful smile, Kirito gestured towards Minato, indicating their reason for coming.

Upon hearing Kirito's explanation, Nono glanced at Minato and realized it wasn't the time to chat. She smiled warmly and told Minato that Mr. Aoki and the others had arrived in the private room.

Minato's mood lifted at Nono's warm smile. He thanked her and led Kirito to the private room for the celebration banquet.

Passing by Nono, Kirito exchanged a gesture with her that only they understood, brightening her smile.

Inside the private room, Kirito noticed the majority of the guests were girls, with only a couple of boys apart from him. One of them was an Akimichi, adding to the lively atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, among the attendees, Kirito spotted Hyuga Hana, whom he hadn't seen in a while.

Hana Hyuga, Kirito's classmate and a genius ninja who consistently ranked third in their theory class, immediately noticed Kirito's presence when he entered the room. She stood up in surprise and greeted him.

"Kirito-kun, why are you here?"

Kirito explained with a smile, "I ran into Minato on the way, and he invited me to his celebration banquet, so I came along. But I didn't expect to see you here, Hana hyuga."

Hana Rei quickly explained that she was also invited by Minato.

Aoki, the discerning special Jonin, stood up and clarified the reason for the celebration banquet. "Kirito, long time no see. Hana also successfully completed her graduation exam today. She will form a ninja team with Minato and Doto next time, so I organized this special celebration banquet for the three of them."

Kirito was surprised to hear that Hana had graduated. He looked at her with curiosity, causing Hana to lower her head in embarrassment.

This was because Kirito had advised her not to graduate early, but she couldn't resist the opportunity to grow stronger quickly and continue learning sealing techniques.

Just as Kirito was about to ask Hana about her early graduation, a familiar hoarse voice caught his attention. Turning around, he saw Orochimaru standing at the door with a smile.

Immediately, Minato, Hana, and Akimichi doto bowed respectfully to Orochimaru

"Teacher Orochimaru."

Kirito realized from their actions and attitudes that Minato, Hana, and doto were being guided by Orochimaru to become Jonin.

It became clear why Hana chose to graduate early. She must have known about Orochimaru's guidance of Jonin and took a chance to be selected by him. Her bet paid off, as her outstanding performance earned her a place in Orochimaru's class.

Although Kirito doesn't particularly like Orochimaru, he has to admit that Orochimaru is a very skilled teacher. Not only is he knowledgeable in powerful ninjutsu, but he also knows how to teach according to each student's aptitude.

The most important thing is that Orochimaru has not strayed from the right path yet, and he remains a dedicated and responsible teacher. It is indeed fortunate for Hana to be selected by him, as it will greatly aid in her future strength improvement.

Kirito turned his head and thought, realizing many things.

Politely, Kirito addressed Orochimaru: "Hello, Orochimaru-sama, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Orochimaru nodded in acknowledgment. "Meeting is fate. Today marks the official establishment of Orochimaru's team. You should stay and celebrate with us."

Then, Orochimaru nodded to Minato, Hana, and doto one by one. As a Sannin, Orochimaru's status as a hero of Konoha made him the most respected person in the room. Everyone instinctively stood up upon his arrival and sat back down when he took his seat.

Kirito observed Orochimaru's demeanor, noting that despite his dark and handsome appearance, Orochimaru could also be engaging and humorous at times, though he remained somewhat cold.

No wonder he never lacked people willing to die for him even as a rogue nin.

As Orochimaru spoke about battlefield experiences and survival knowledge, Kirito listened with great interest, having never been on a big battlefield himself.

The atmosphere became lively as Orochimaru's storytelling skills shone, capturing everyone's attention.

However, a comedic moment arose when Kirito and doto reached for the last piece of grilled meat at the same time, only for Hana to snatch it away, claiming hunger.

Kirito and doto were surprised by Hana hearty appetite, having underestimated her capacity for eating food.

After the celebratory dinner, Kirito bid farewell to Minato and the others and left. He noticed Hana following him discreetly.

"What's the matter, Hana hyuga ? Do you need to tell me something?" Kirito asked, noticing her presence behind a telegraph pole.
