Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Meeting Kurenai
Inside the classroom, SHinju sat there waiting for the teacher while looking into the air, the students looked at him from time to time and muttered, but he couldn't care less.
There were only a few minutes left before the teams got taken away, and the only thing on his mind was what happened when he was training.
He punched the tree for 5 hours at least, and he almost gave up since he was getting bored, but the system told him that trees were no longer helping since he reached level 5 of the Taijutsu.
The reason is that it can't help in polishing his body, as it is too soft and can easily break with a light slap from his hand.
And he believed it as with a light slap from his palm, the tree trunk snapped and it fell down to the ground, the tree was at least 3 tons in weight since it was taller than the school.
And it was girthy, about 2 meters in width, and he snapped it in half with a light palm, of course he respawned since he did not want any trouble.
Meanwhile, in the office of the third Hokage, Iruka was talking with Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage and the second most powerful man in the village.
My goat Might Guy mops the floor with him in gate 7, no debate.
"Hokage-Sama, Shinju managed to learn the fireball technique in a simple 5 minutes after the drama with Kiba transpired, and it was already as good as Sasuke Uchiha."
Hiruzen listened with a solemn look, did that kid hide his talent or something? Why had he never heard of anything special from him?
"What is his background?"
Hiruzen asked Iruka to make sure if his thinking was wrong, a genius of that level is needed for the current village.
The 3 students he trained were gone by now, one was drunk and scared of blood, one was a pervert and was never in the village, and one was a failure who turned into a rogue Shinobi.
He dared not even call Konoha the strongest village in the world anymore, since it might not even be able to win against Cloud Village with how many powerful people they got.
"Shinju Ichida is a good kid, he is an orphan as his parents died on the nine-tails night... and he is also poor, he could never get himself any ninjutsu to learn, only the academy 3"
Iruka explained he felt sympathy and kinship with Shinju since his past is so identical to his, with no parents and also poor, not able to learn any ninjutsu until he gained a sensei who taught him.
Hiruzen nodded, and the pipe in his hand was brought to his mouth, from which he took a whiff of smoke.
"Okay, keep the teams as they are, with team 8 being the same, Hinata Huyuga, Shino Aburame and Shinju Ichida."
Iruka smiled and he nodded, and then his body vanished as he used Shunshin, just then, the door to his room opened, and guess who walked inside the room.
"Hiruzen, give me Shinju Ichida, I will make him a powerful weapon for Konoha!"
Danzo's annoying voice reached the ears of Hiruzen, Hiruzen looked up at his old friend with a sigh, before he shook his head, someone with as much talent as Shinju is rare, Minato Namikaze rare.
"No, the village is in dire need of powerful Shinobi in the future, Shinju is needed in the light, not the dark, and this is the end of it"
Danzo looked at Hiruen like he was a fool, he was about to reply to Hiruzen, but he was cut off next.
"if you even go near him, I will revoke your position as an elder, and I will take root back under my control"
Danzo opened his eyes wide in shock, and he looked at Hiruzen asking if he was serious, Seeing the look in Hiruzen's eyes, he clicked his tongue as he walked out.
"Hiruzen you will regret this!"
"Danzo, i am the Hokage!"
Danzo clenched his palm around his staff as he walked out, he might have been turned down on the surface, but who said he would follow the orders of a man half a leg in the coffin?
"Hmph! You think I will do what a weak and confused old man is telling me? Bear, go and contract Shinju Ichida tonight."
A root shinobi appeared on the floor, and he nodded his head, before vanishing just like before.
Back with Shinju, he was now sitting at the same desk as Hinata Hyuga and Shino Aburame, there were tiny people left in class, with only team 8 and team 7 along with Shikamaru's team.
Just then, Shinju felt the vibration of the ground with his feet, and he looked up at the door, where a man with a rough beard, and a cigarette in his mouth walked in.
"Team 10, follow me"
Ino immediately pulled on her hair as he looked at Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the third Hokage, not that she has any problems, but why is it a man who smokes?
Team 10 followed Asuma Sarutobi outside, and just then, a woman walked inside, she had beautiful black wavy hair flowing past her shoulder, she had red ruby eyes, and her clothes resembled a mummy.
"Team 8, follow me"
Kurenai Yuhi looked around, and she smiled as she noticed Shinju, Hinata and Shinbo standing up,. She was starting to think that the ones she led were Team 7.
Shinju and the rest followed after Kurenai Yuhi as she led them out towards a Restaurant, once inside she sat down opposite of the 3, and smiled.
"Alright everyone, we should introduce ourselves! I will go first"
Kurenai started her introduction.
"My name is Kurenai Yuhi, my favourite food is Octopus and Strong Vodka, and my dislikes are sweets and cake! As for my dream, it's a secret!"
Kurenai smiled as she explained herself, Shinju and the other 2 nodded in silence, one was shy, one was naturally like that, and one was bored.
"Okay, Shinju, you are next"
Shinju sighed.
"My Name is Shinju Ichida, I like BBQ and iced tea, I hate seafood, and my dream is to one day become the strongest Shinobi alive"
Shinju introduced himself with a bored expression, but when he mentioned his dream, a strong light burst out from his eyes, Kurenai smiled as she noticed it.
Hinata and Shino looked at Shinju in surprise, they thought he would have the dream of becoming Hokage, like everyone else.
"But isn't the strongest Shinobi in the world the Hokage?"
Shino asked in a quiet Voice.
"No, the strongest Shinobi does not have to be the Hokage, but I guess I would not mind that either"
Shinju suddenly thought about the word Hokage, is it someone who just stays and does paperwork, or is it someone who just fights?
No, the Hokage is the ruler of the village, and whatever he says, goes, so maybe being Hokage is not all that bad...
