Chapter 18: Chapter 18
"Hahaha, I'm old and useless."
Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed at himself, but he didn't feel lonely or sad at all, only happy and expectant.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the common sense of life, and no one can escape the fate of aging.
Even towering trees will grow old, and the seas and rocks will crumble, let alone humans.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen was already content that he was able to cultivate a new towering tree for Konoha Village when he felt he was overwhelmed.
"I have taught you everything I could, including ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, and even combat techniques and experience. You have learned it all."
"The next step is the real combat, the kind where it's either you or me."
"Starting tomorrow, I will arrange for the sixth team to complete some tasks outside the village. These tasks are dangerous and will be accompanied by combat."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put away his smile and his expression became serious.
Kamisato Yuehua's growth was too fast, beyond his expectations.
There is no longer much meaning in keeping Kamisato Yuehua by his side.
Therefore, the next step in the training of Kamisato Yuehua is to let her experience light and darkness firsthand, and face blood and death directly.
The next step in training Kamisato Yuehua is to build her sense of responsibility and to strengthen and firm her will of fire.
If there is no problem with Kamisato Yueka's growth in the future, then after the Chunin Exam, Sarutobi Hiruzen plans to start cultivating Kamisato Yueka's political ability and ability to handle affairs.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Kamisato Tsukika possessed all-attribute chakra, what he wanted in his mind was to train a powerful fighter for the village.
After this month of contact, Kamisato Tsukika has become the future backbone of Konoha Village and a candidate for Hokage in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart.
However, he was not a candidate for the Fifth Hokage, but a candidate for the Sixth Hokage.
Among the candidates for the fifth Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen prioritizes Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Jiraiya and Tsunade.
As for Shimura Danzo? As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is around, Shimura Danzo will never become the Hokage of Konoha Village!
It's not a personal grudge, but Shimura Danzo's methods and ideas are not suitable for becoming Hokage. If he becomes Hokage, the village will inevitably go to a certain extreme.
"I see."
Kamisato Yuehua also looked serious, he knew that his leisurely days were over.
"Then that's it for today. It's already late. Go back and rest early so you can get enough energy to welcome a new start tomorrow."
"yes!"
A night passed.
The next morning, Kamisato Yuehua arrived at the Anbu base as usual and entered the room of Team 6.
"Good morning, Captain. Good morning, Brother Ida and Brother Kushi."
As soon as she entered the room, Kamisato Yuehua saw Uzuki Yugao and the other two chatting and laughing.
Today they looked different than they had for some time, and seemed a little excited.
"Everyone looks very happy. Did something good happen?"
Kamisato Yuehua asked curiously. He had walked along the way and it seemed that he had not heard or seen any happy events happening in the village.
"Nothing, just happy and in a good mood."
Mao Yueyan looked at Kamisato Yuehua and spoke with a smile.
"Hahaha, it's because we can finally go out on a mission. In the past month, besides being beaten up by you, I've been reading books here. My bones are almost loose."
Yamai Hisaji started to complain, and even the calm Ishida couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.
This made Kamisato Yuehua smile awkwardly.
Indeed, during this month, because of Kamisato Tsukika, the entire Team 6 had no other mission except protecting the Hokage.
It's really boring to sit here every day.
But this is not the most important thing.
Although the task of protecting the Hokage is boring, it is safe, leisurely, and the reward is not low. This kind of task is a good job for the members of the Anbu.
However, it is very painful to be struck by Kamisato Yuehua and doubt your life every day.
During this month, Mao Yue Xi Gao and the other two have been hit so hard that they have begun to doubt life and themselves many times.
Especially when he saw that the technique he was practicing was completely mastered by Kamisato Yuehua and surpassed him in just one day, that feeling was simply torture and it hurt so much inside.
And now, finally!
The days of being forced to wear a mask of pain every day are over!
Even though they would have to start living a life on the edge of a knife again, Mao Yue Xi Yan and the other two couldn't help but look forward to it, and they felt a sense of joy in their hearts.
"Well, I am looking forward to the next mission, but after all, I have never done a mission outside the village, and the Sandaime-sama also said that it will be dangerous, so I will ask the three seniors to take good care of me in the future."
Kamisato Yuehua spoke seriously, but what she said made Uzuki Yugao roll her eyes.
If others heard Kamisato Yuehua say such things, they would definitely take it seriously, after all, Kamisato Yuehua is too young.
But after witnessing Kamisato Yuehua's incredible growth with their own eyes, Uzuki Yugao and the other two couldn't help but complain about what Kamisato Yuehua said.
"With your strength, do you still need us to take care of you? It's better for you to take care of us in the future!"
Yamai Hisaji said this speechlessly, and his face became happy again.
"But with Yuehua here, it will definitely be easy and comfortable for us to carry out our missions in the future, hahaha."
After these words were spoken, Uzuki Yugao and Ishinoda could not help but smile.
It is indeed a happy thing to have a strong teammate in the team.
After all, as an Anbu, the missions they carry out are indeed very dangerous and they can die if they are not careful.
Who would want to die when they can live?
With Kamisato Yuehua here, the casualty rate of their Team 6 will definitely drop significantly.
This made Mao Yue Xi Yan feel emotional, and she couldn't help but look at Kamisato Yuehua with her beautiful eyes, with a soft light flowing in her eyes.
Come to think of it, she was worried at first that Kamisato Tsukika joining Team 6 would drag Team 6 down, but she didn't expect that in the end it would be them who might drag down Kamisato Tsukika.
Knock knock knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the four people in Class 6 fell silent for a moment.
"Team Six, summoned by the Hokage."
The Anbu outside the door did not come in, but left after saying this.
"Okay, enough small talk, let's go, it's time to get to work."
Mao Yue Xi Yan spoke, already putting on the mask.
The next moment, the four of them headed towards the Hokage's office.
