Next.

I walk calmly through the streets of Konoha in the direction of my house pensively remembering the last words that the teacher gave us.

-"They are not obliged to take the chunin exam, with their performance the Hokage does not have the obligation to make them pass the exam but that does not mean that they cannot take it, if they want they can volunteer"-

'I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck that we voluntarily accepted the exam but I guess I don't need to worry, as long as I'm not around those three it shouldn't happen much'

Well, leaving these thoughts I go quietly to sleep at home.

...

In another location in Konoha, Izawa is in her room with the light off.

After having 'conversed' with those who gave her information about the mission, she went to 'convince' the Hokage to pass them on directly to go directly to his students to talk.

Even for him to do all this was exhausting.

He then he sits on his bed sighing a little.

'It's hard to deal with young people, he's always hot-blooded'

He says that as he watches in the dim moonlight over a small table in the corner of the room.

Although he is in almost total darkness, a small box containing a photo can still be discerned on that table.

Although it is dark, that does not prevent her from seeing clearly, it is his mind, the faces of the people in that photo, especially the melancholic memories.

He is momentarily lost in his thoughts until a voice interrupts his thoughts from behind.

"Don't think with the light off, that way you only bring a depressing aura" The lights come on as a woman speaks from behind.

Izawa doesn't need to look to know who she is.

"I'm sorry, I forgot"

The woman comes over and sits next to her.

"Are you looking at that photo again?"

"..." Izawa doesn't answer.

"You shouldn't let that get to you"

"...it's not that, I just can't help but remember lately"

The woman looks a little confused but then understands.

"Are those children what you're worried about?"

"Heh, it's not that, I just can't help but remember what I was like"

"Are you worried that they will follow the same fate as you?"

This phrase left the teacher silent for a few seconds.

"I thought so at first but with the recent mission they had it made me doubt a little"

"That?"

"Maybe they could survive..."

This reminded him of the first time they met their teacher when he was a genin, at that time the teacher showed his detachment for them by explaining that possibly only one of them would be alive by the time we are adults, at first I took it as a joke until That fatal day came where the tragedy occurred, that day he lost everything he had achieved so far.

Then he found out that this had happened before, his teacher mentioned that this happened to him, his teacher, his teacher's teacher and so on.

He told her that this was like a curse, his teacher instructed him that he should instruct another team to keep the memory of his companions and ancestors.

At first he did not believe him, he had a rebellious heart and wanted to show him that what he said was just stupid, he was angry about the deaths of his companions, that now they say it was due to a curse made him quite angry, he only believed that they had bad luck, now he was determined to make a team that could survive unlike them.

(PS: The situation and the pain plus the words of his teacher made him obsessed with his team)

Perhaps at that time he was too energetic since he was still hot-blooded.

After training as much as he could, he introduced himself as a teacher and began to train a team that could prove the contrary to his teacher's words.

All until things started to happen.

Strangely, the teams that he trained ended up with an accident on their mission and never came back.

At first he just thought it was the normal deaths that occurred in missions, many other teams were in the same situation as well.

But then over time things showed another color, he realized that the mortality rate in his team was too high, more than others.

Over time he lost hope and was training one last team to retire, he was already tired.

That last team turned out to be Yuu's.

With a lot of experience he trained teams, he knew that the only way they will survive is that they themselves will seek their survival, which is why instead of training them like other teams, what he did was measure their attitude towards very complex problems.

That was the reason why he sent them on a C-level mission, a particularly complicated one.

To their surprise, another big accident had occurred ahead of time, but the most surprising thing was that they had survived, if the description was correct then it means that they would be among the best ninjas in the future of Konoha, let's not talk much about Rai but the intellect and cunning He might not be the best but his ruthless actions had allowed him to take down an entire group of chunin ninjas and some possibly jonin at his current level who would be genin.

Then there is Yuu who if the description was correct then he would be keeping a dangerous near jonin level ninja at bay, just amazing.

I think it would be the first time he sees something like this, maybe they could end this curse.

(PS: In those days superstition reigned).

...

Yuu, unaware of all this, lay down to rest.

"*yawn*, today was a very long and tiring day, I'll sleep until 10 or 11 in the morning..."

Then he slowly closes his eyes and thinks about the problems that are to come.

...

That night Yuu wasn't the only one who got into bed with a lot of thoughts in his head.

Many teams graduated this year went to sleep thoughtful, worried, some excited.
