Naruto: My Peaceful Life - Chapter 13
Chapter 13 You Come With Me, I’ll Take Care of the Rest
“oh?”
Kumo Qufeng was not familiar with this name, but he was not unfamiliar with it either.
This Uchiha Setsuna was a pure reactionary element of the Uchiha clan.
He admired Uchiha Madara immensely and had launched a rebellion during the reign of the Second Hokage.
He wanted to assassinate the Second Hokage and was eventually sentenced to life imprisonment.
When Zhili talked about this matter, he became more serious and even the frequency of picking up meat with his hands decreased.
“He is Kyo’s older brother. Both brothers accepted the ideas instilled by their grandfather, believing that only by following Uchiha Madara can the Uchiha clan be revived.”
“That old man, relying on his position as an elder, is spreading the idea of following Madara within the tribe. But in reality, most people in the tribe are already disgusted with the war and are quite content with their current lives.”
When Qufeng heard what Zhili said, he understood why he had to be careful of Uchiha Setsuna. He beat up the other person’s younger brother and made him look so ugly. It would be strange if the older brother didn’t come to take revenge on him.
Moreover, since he is able to commit acts of rebellion in the future, it means that he is definitely not someone who is easy to talk to and will definitely cause trouble for him.
“Okay, I’ll pay attention. Thank you, Zhili!”
Zhili smiled gently, said it was okay and continued eating.
“It’s so delicious! I don’t have anything as delicious as this at home.”
“The Akamichi family is a family with very high standards for gourmet food, otherwise the price wouldn’t be so high.”
This meal cost about one thousand taels, which is enough for a family to live on for half a month. Zhili really can eat a lot.
At this moment, two ninjas from the Senju clan came to the barbecue restaurant. As soon as they entered the door, they found Kumo Qufeng and walked towards him.
“Hello, are you Qufeng in the Clouds? Nice to meet you again.”
Qufeng in the cloud thought it was someone else, but he didn’t expect it to be the guard uncle who was on duty on the day he went to the will. If he hadn’t revealed some information, Qufeng would probably still be looking for the hateful planner!
“Ah, it’s the uncle from that day! What can I do for you? Do you want to come and have something to eat?”
The Senju ninja shook his head and said, “No, the Hokage-sama wants to see you. If you’re done eating, come with us.”
After hearing this, Kumo Qufeng had roughly guessed why the Hokage summoned him. Seeing that the meat on the grill had been eaten, he asked the boss to pay and prepared to follow the guard to the Hokage’s office.
Seeing that the Hokage wanted to see Qufeng for something important, Zhili said, “Mr. Qufeng, since the Hokage has summoned you, I will not disturb you for now. Thank you for your hospitality today.”
“You should come with me too. Haven’t you admired Hokage-sama for a long time?”
When Zhili heard this, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he stared at the guard with his big, watery eyes: “Is it really possible?”
The guard scratched his head and said in confusion, “It’s hard for me to say. Lord Tobirama said that the Hokage only summoned Qufeng from Kumo.”
Before Zhili could react, Qufeng said, “Just follow me. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Zhili is not a shy girl. Since Qufengjun said so, there is no reason not to go. She will just owe Qufengjun a favor again.
She has admired the Hokage for a long time and has always regarded him as a role model, but it is rare to have the opportunity to meet the Hokage in person like today, and she does not want to give it up.
After hearing this, the guard no longer refused. After all, the other party said that he could handle it, so he must be confident. If he continued to refuse, it would be just making things difficult for the other party. He would not do anything to offend others.
Now that everything was settled, the four of them left the barbecue restaurant and returned to the Hokage building. Along the way, Kumo Qufeng did not seem restrained, but looked around in a relaxed manner.
And Zhili seemed very nervous, perhaps because she was about to have her first face-to-face meeting with her idol offline, fearing that she would be rude and give the Hokage a bad impression. In fact, she was worrying too much.
“You two go in, Hokage-sama and Tobirama-sama are inside.”
After saying that the two Senju ninjas continued their guard duty while Qufeng and Zhili entered the Hokage’s office.
“Haha, Qufeng is here. It’s been a month since we last met, right?”
Hashirama smiled brightly, without any airs of a Hokage at all, instead he looked like an uncle next door.
“Good afternoon, Hokage-sama, Tobirama-sama. This is my friend. I have long admired Hokage-sama and have always considered you my idol.”
Qufeng’s words made Zhili’s face turn red like a tomato, and he even stammered when speaking.
“Two…two adults, good afternoon…”
“Yeah, Uchiha Chiri! I know you, you’re Kagami’s sister.”
Zhili thought that the Hokage didn’t know her, but she never expected to be called by her name all of a sudden. She is very satisfied now!
“Qufeng, I called you here today mainly because I have something to ask you.”
“Please speak, sir.”
“Will you be my disciple?”
This statement really confused Kumo Qufeng. Shouldn’t the Second Generation accept him as a disciple? Why the First Generation? If memory serves, Sarutobi, Hiruzen, and the others were all disciples of Second Hokage Tobirama, though they were taught by both brothers.
Was he now going to become a disciple of Senju Hashirama? Wasn’t that a huge step up in his generation?
“Of course I do!” Qufeng in the clouds shouted!
This is hilarious! This kind of opportunity only comes once in a lifetime! If you don’t seize it, you’ll regret it forever! Being a disciple of the Second Generation is certainly great, but it’s still a little bit different from being a disciple of Hashirama, just a little bit.
After Hashirama heard Qufeng’s agreement, he burst into laughter: “Hahaha! Good! From now on, you are my apprentice, Senju Hashirama!”
Qu Feng in the clouds bowed deeply and said, “Master, please accept my disciple’s greetings.”
Hashirama was touched, but pretended to be indifferent on the surface and said, “There’s no need for this between you and me, master and disciple.”
Upon hearing this, Kumo Qufeng turned around and stood straight. This was not a deliberate pretense, but a sign of respect from the bottom of his heart. He would have done the same even if he had been accepted as a disciple by Second Generation. This was a sign of respecting the teacher.
Zhili was so shocked by the scene that she was speechless. She thought that the Hokage summoned Qufeng to ask about today’s practical class, but she didn’t expect that he wanted to accept Qufeng as his disciple!
To be honest, she was extremely envious at the moment! However, she was not jealous. Qufeng was the top student in both theory and practice, and he was also the most popular person in the class. She was not jealous that such an outstanding person was accepted as an apprentice by the Hokage.
Hashirama saw the little girl with her head lowered beside Qufeng, thought for a moment, and then said: “Chiri, you are Jing’s sister and a genius of Uchiha. If you are willing, you can follow me to train, but whether you can become my disciple depends on your performance.”
