Chapter 78
Everyone has their own ideals, so everyone is firmly moving towards their own life path.
Uchiha Xingliu and others are just like this, moving forward step by step.
Their footsteps left traces on the training ground of Konoha, which are the marks they have stepped on the road to becoming a stronger ninja.
Time flies, and years are like songs. Inadvertently, time slips through your fingers like fine sand, quietly passing away.
Unknowingly, it is almost the New Year, and the jointly held Chunin Exam will be held after the New Year.
These two events together make Konoha very lively.
The New Year is coming, and the end of the war has made the villagers start preparing for the celebration early.
On the streets and alleys, people are talking about it, all filled with joy and expectation.
In a corner of the Ninja School, Uchiha Xingliu and his truant team are waiting for the results of the final exam.
Teacher Dokichi stood in the classroom of the Ninja School, his face was ashen, like a dark cloud pressing down on his head. His eyes were like sharp swords, staring at the leader of the skipping team, Uchiha Seiyu.
His fists trembled slightly, highlighting that he was struggling to suppress his inner anger.
However, when he turned his gaze to Uchiha Seiyu's test scores, his expression eased a little.
He frowned and sighed, with a hint of helplessness and recognition in his tone:
"Uchiha Seiyu, although you often skip classes, you got full marks in this exam. It seems that you still have some strength."
After hearing this, Uchiha Seiyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.
He calmly said to Teacher Doki Chi:
"This is all because of your good teaching."
Doki Chi's face, which had just eased, darkened again in an instant, and he seemed to be somewhat unwilling to accept this explanation.
In Doki Chi's mind, a student like Uchiha Seiyu, who often skipped classes, was able to get full marks in the exam, and then praised his teaching in person, which was undoubtedly a kind of irony in his eyes.
But to his surprise, Uchiha Seiryu had no intention of stopping.
"Although the teaching is very basic, it is essential knowledge for ninjas. I am very grateful for your efforts, teacher."
Uchiha Seiryu continued.
His eyes revealed sincerity and frankness, as if he saw through the doubts and uneasiness in Dokichi's heart.
Dokichi was stunned for a moment, and he understood what Uchiha Seiryu meant.
Maybe he, an ordinary ninja, really couldn't help those talented students improve, but his teaching could help most students.
He remembered his original intention, and just hoped that these children would have more self-protection power in the future.
Now that his goal has been achieved, what else is there to worry about.
At this moment, Dokichi felt relieved.
He smiled and nodded, accepting Uchiha Seiryu's thanks and praise.
"When I skip class next year, please be more lenient, teacher..."
However, just when he felt satisfied, Uchiha Xingliu's words came back, and the black line returned to his face.
But looking at Uchiha Xingliu running away, he showed a helpless and doting smile on his face.
"This kid..."
He shook his head, his smile full of warmth and tolerance:
"It's good to be young."
......
After Uchiha Xingliu and his team joined together, they walked on the way home together.
Now, except for Jiraiya and Uchiha Jiji, the rest of the skipping team have moved to the Senju clan.
At this time, Orochimaru squeezed over a little embarrassedly.
His fair face showed a hint of redness, and his eyes revealed a little embarrassment and expectation.
He bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered his request:
"Xingliu-kun, can you help me unseal my parents before the New Year? I want to celebrate the New Year with them."
Orochimaru's voice was very low, and he felt that his words made the air around him freeze for a moment.
He knew that his request was a bit excessive, after all, he had not done any substantial help for Uchiha Xingliu.
He felt a sense of apology in his heart, and felt like a burden who only wanted to take.
However, Uchiha Xingliu did not show any dissatisfaction.
He glanced at Orochimaru lightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
For him, this was just a matter of effort, a problem that could be solved in a few seconds.
And he also knew that Orochimaru was not useless, but he had not realized it yet.
The several E-level attribute ninjutsu he invented were as difficult as the three-body technique, and consumed very little chakra.
Even the Genin could use it several times, which greatly improved the strength of Konoha Genin.This made Uchiha Xingliu, who regarded Konoha as his own, very satisfied with him.
So Uchiha Xingliu waved his hand and said easily:
"No problem, it's a small matter."
"If you come to me that day, I will help you unblock it."
Orochimaru heard this and showed gratitude on his face.
He lowered his head, hiding his inner excitement, and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you, Xingliu-kun."
At this time, Jiraiya came over happily.
He rubbed his hands and said with a grin:
"Xingliu, can you let me..."
Uchiha Xingliu glanced at him and interrupted:
"No."
The smile on Jiraiya's face froze instantly, and he put on a pleading expression, clasped his hands together, as if worshiping Buddha, and muttered:
"Xingliu, just promise me, I am your good friend."
Uchiha Xingliu rolled his eyes at him and smiled knowingly.
Of course he knew what Jiraiya wanted to do, he just wanted to celebrate the New Year with him.
However, he was not a babysitter to take care of these "little friends".
Although he wanted to make these "little friends" his right-hand men in the future, it did not mean that he had to accommodate all their needs.
Orochimaru's matter was a piece of cake, but Jiraiya's request was not the same.
Uchiha Xingliu waved his hand and said impatiently:
"No, no, this is a matter of principle."
After that, he left Jiraiya and turned to look at Uchiha Zhiliu.
Wouldn't it be nice to attend the celebration with a few cute girls? Why add Jiraiya to be a light bulb.
"Student Zhiliu, do you have any plans for the New Year?"
Although Uchiha Zhiliu had gradually gotten used to the existence of Uchiha Xingliu, he was still a little shy when he was suddenly asked.
She lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face, and she said softly:
"No special arrangements..."
Uchiha Xingliu smiled after hearing this and said:
"How about we go to the festival together tonight?"
"Of course, Nono, Tsunade and I, a total of four people. I have already made arrangements with them, do you want to come?"
