Chapter 14 Furukawa
"Hello, my name is Ryosuke!"

"Uchiha Qingming."

Looking at Liangjie who came to the table, Qingming replied concisely.

After saying that, he looked at another person.

Shizuko Mizutani felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, so she shrank her neck and said in a whisper, "My name is Shizuko Mizutani."

After the three of them exchanged their names, they sat together after some negotiations by Ryosuke.

From then on, it was Ryosuke who was talking, with Mizutani Shizuko responding intermittently, while Qingming remained basically silent.

From their conversation, Qingming knew that Ryosuke's parents were both Chunins, and both were technical talents, one was engaged in code decryption work, and the other was a ninja in the barrier class.

just
Qingming didn't know why these two people gave birth to a chatterbox like Liangjie.

Is it because he is holding it in at home?

Just as Qingming was secretly complaining, Liangjie's voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Qingming, you haven't told me about your parents yet?"

"Sacrificed."

Qing Ming replied in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Liangjie was slightly stunned, scratched his head awkwardly, and said: "Um. Sorry, Qingming, I don't know."

"It's okay, it's all over."

Qing Ming replied calmly again.

Despite this, Ryosuke still shut his mouth embarrassedly.

Shizuko Mizutani on the side seemed to want to say something, but after mustering up her courage several times, she finally couldn't make up her mind to speak.

Seeing this, Qingming did not ask any questions.

It was nothing more than some words of comfort, which his predecessor might have needed but he didn't.

······
Time passes minute by minute.

About half an hour later.

More than a dozen jonin arrived at the classroom.

Well.
Not all of them are real jonin, most of them are special jonin.

The so-called special jonin are jonin whose strength does not reach the jonin level but who have unique talents in certain aspects.

These people are called Jonin, but in fact they are just ninjas between Chunin and Jonin.

Come to think of it, for this class of students, the potential of most of them can be seen at a glance, and it is not worth wasting too much energy of the senior ninjas.

Now is a time of war, and as the backbone of the village, there is a lack of strong ninjas everywhere. Although the training of reserve forces is also very important, it is not as important as the battle situation on the front line.

"Class 11, please stand up."

At the podium, a special jonin spoke.

Suddenly, the three students named Nakajima Souta, Hanako and Heilong stood up.

After making sure there was no problem, the special jonin led his men away.

Then the 12th and 13th classes
Soon, it was the turn of Class 17 where Qingming was.

"Uchiha Seimei? Mizutani Shizuko? Ryosuke?"

On the podium, a middle-aged ninja with scars on his face stared at Qingming and the other two and said.

"It's us, teacher!"

The middle-aged ninja flipped through the files in his hand, nodded, and said, "Okay, follow me."

After saying that, he left the classroom.

Qing Ming and others followed immediately.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the tenth training ground.

This place is remote. Normally, it takes half an hour to get here from the village center, but now it only takes half the time.

Therefore, except Qingming, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko were both exhausted.

Especially for Shizuko Mizutani, she is a girl and has weak physical fitness, so it is not easy for her to run here in such a short time.

Despite this, Qingming did not think of helping the other party, because he was not sure whether this was a test from the previous jonin. According to his observation, it was very likely that Shizuko Mizutani could hold on, so he just let it go.

"Okay, that's it."

Arriving at the center of the training ground, the middle-aged jonin finally stopped.

Seeing this, Qing Ming and others also stopped one after another.

The middle-aged jonin's eyes swept over the three people, lingering on Qingming for a while, and then said: "You can keep up with my pace, which means you have passed the test initially."

"test?"

Mizutani Shizuko panted and asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's a test."

The middle-aged jonin nodded and said, "On the battlefield, no matter what type of ninja you are, if your physical fitness is not up to standard, you are most likely to be sacrificed."

Hearing this, Mizutani Shizuko was stunned and her face gradually turned pale.

She really didn't expect to hear such a serious topic about sacrifice on her first day as a ninja.

Thinking of the sacrifice, Mizutani Shizuko secretly glanced at Qingming and thought to herself, "I wonder how Qingming felt after hearing the news of his parents' sacrifice? I'm afraid he must be very sad!"

Qingming keenly noticed the other party's little movements, but didn't say much.

The middle-aged ninja changed the subject and continued, "Okay, you guys take a break first."

Hearing this, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko both sat on the ground to calm their breath. Only Qingming stood aside, motionless.

This amount of exercise is nothing to him.

The middle-aged ninja glanced at Qingming and said nothing more, "Let's take advantage of the break time to get to know each other."

"Okay, teacher, we don't know your name yet?"

Ryosuke, who had not gotten a chance to speak just now, spoke immediately.

Hearing this, the middle-aged ninja nodded and introduced himself: "My name is Furukawa. As you can see, I am a Jonin. I am thirty-seven years old. I like to play shogi and I hate people who don't follow the rules."

After that, he looked at Ryosuke and said, "You go first. Tell me your name and age, what you like and dislike, and what your ideals are."

"Yes, Mr. Furukawa."

After responding, Ryosuke introduced himself: "My name is Ryosuke, I'm ten years old, I like making friends, I hate any food containing coriander, and my ideal is to become Hokage."

"Hokage? Another guy who has been brainwashed by the Will of Fire."

Qingming sighed inwardly.

Furukawa nodded expressionlessly, then looked at Mizutani Shizuko and said, "What about you?"

Mizutani Shizuko rested for a while and finally spoke without panting.

I only heard her say: "My name is Mizutani Shizuko, I will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year, I like flower arranging, I hate, uh."

Mizutani Shizuko thought for a moment and shook her head: "I don't seem to have anything I particularly hate. As for my ideal..."

She looked around at the four people present and mustered up the courage to say, "My dream is to become a medical ninja like Lady Tsunade."

'Tsunade? '

Qing Ming glanced at Mizutani Shizuko and thought to himself, "Tsunade is really famous. No wonder she was able to become the Fifth Hokage after being away from the village for so long."

Just as he was thinking, Gu Chuan turned his gaze towards him and said, "It's your turn, Qingming."

"Ah."

Qingming nodded and said, "My name is Uchiha Qingming, I'm ten years old, I like to practice, I hate trouble, and I have ideals..."

Having said this, Qing Ming suddenly stopped.

There was no other reason, because he found that he seemed to have never thought about the distant future, let alone any ideals.

When he first traveled through time, he was worried that his identity as an outsider would be exposed, so he practiced hard.

After fully absorbing the experience and memories of his predecessor, he became concerned about his survival in the Ninja World War, so he continued to practice hard.

The furthest thing he thought about was how to survive the disaster of genocide. It seemed that he had never considered the future.

"Lord Qing Ming?"

Seeing Qingming suddenly stopped talking, Mizutani Shizuko poked his arm and called softly, "What's wrong?"
