Chapter 396

A few days later, in Konoha, in the Hokage’s office.

“You three, how dare you hit your own sensei!”

The 3rd Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had a pipe in his mouth, and looked at the three little ghosts below with an indifferent face.

Just as Eri was about to say something, Leiyin stopped him, “Everything was done by me, and it has nothing to do with the two of them.”

Sarutobi took a puff of his cigarette and sniffed, “Then can you tell me, why did you hit Mizuki?”

“Mizuki is cruel and brutal, and it is mentally distorted. Let us do things that are impossible to complete. That is not training at all. It is purely to take our lives.”

Leiyin told Sarutobi about how Mizuki inspected the three of them.

“Then, how could you do it? I heard from Mizuki that you used the earth to make a bridge yourself.”

“That… It’s just that I usually work harder than others.” Leiyin casually lied.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Sarutobi slammed the table and stood up, “You! I’m not praising you! No matter what the reason is, you should not hit your sensei! This is something that has never happened in the history of Konoha!”

Sarutobi shouted with a stern voice, startling all the ninjas present.

“Hokage-sama…” Iruka muttered as he had never seen Sarutobi so angry before.

Hearing this loud shout, Leiyin’s expression did not change. “That is not an inspection at all, but abuse! If I choose again, I will beat him up! Also, I am the one who did it. If there is any crime, I will bear it alone. Please do not punish them!”

At this time, Eri finally could not help but raise his right hand, “In fact, I did not like Mizuki to let Leiyin go. If you want to punish, punish me!”

This time, Meng Xiaomeng did not hesitate at all. She raised her hand that was as white as jade and raised her voice, “And me! I also want to beat up Mizuki!”

“Hey! You kids are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of the Hokage-sama!” A particularly Jonin reprimanded loudly.

The anger on Sarutobi’s face had not subsided, and he continued, “You three…”

As he said this, Sarutobi kept looking into Leiyin’s eyes. By the side, Eri and Meng Xiaomeng had already begun to feel nervous. They did not know what to do next. Leiyin also stared straight at Sarutobi without the slightest fear or fear.

The anger on Sarutobi’s face gradually dissipated, and it made a 180-degree turn. It was replaced by a kind smile. “I declare that from now on, Leiyin, Eri, Meng Xiaomeng, and the other two have officially become Genin!”

“Ah?!”

Wasn’t he still fierce just now? Why did he suddenly let himself become Genin? Would he not pursue the matter of beating Mizuki?

“This is…”

Just as the three of them were puzzled, Sarutobi spoke, “I have already sent the Anbun to investigate the matter of Mizuki in the past two days, but there is something else. For his vile behavior, we handed it over to the Anbu Interrogation Department to interrogate him. He also told us about how he treated his students before.”

“So… that’s how it is…”

“For this, please allow me to apologize to you. To actually make such a person your sensei is my mistake in using people.” Sarutobi said to the three of them.

“Hokage-sama, you…”

Everyone present was shocked that the Hokage would take the initiative to apologize to the three Genins.

Seeing this, Eri hurriedly said, “Hokage-sama, you don’t have to do this… We…”

Sarutobi still had a smile on his face, “Not only are the three of you brave, but you are also very loyal, especially Leiyin. Your temper suits my taste. I have decided to send you a new sensei to help you grow up…”

“Yamato!”

Sarutobi shouted, and Yamato stood out from the team.

Captain Yamato, in the original story, because Kakashi was injured, so he took the place of Kakashi to lead Team 7 on a mission. When he was young, he was experimented on by Orochimaru, and accidentally succeeded. He inherited the 1st Hokage Hashirama Senju’s Kekkei Genkai.

“It’s actually him?!” Seeing Yamato, Leiyin was also stunned.

Seeing these three kids, Yamato had an amiable and approachable smile on his face. “From now on, I will be everyone’s team leader. Everyone must get along well.”

“Yes, we will.”

Meng Xiaomeng thought, “The sensei this time seems to be much better than Mizuki Sensei, right?”

Coming out of the Hokage’s office, it was already late. Yamato told the three of them to gather on the bridge to the east of Konoha tomorrow morning and then dissolved.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, the three of them walked on the small path in the village. Leiyin sais, “Didn’t I tell you? I took the responsibility alone. Why did you all jump out?”

“We are in the same team. If you were alone, wouldn’t we be too disloyal?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Haha…”
