A Few Things I'm Slightly Concerned About
"I want to challenge you!"
Uzumaki Naruto jumped out and shouted.
Trouble has come.
Lin Ke felt a headache. What was going on? He was fine with being followed, and he had accepted it. Why did he suddenly jump out on his way home to challenge him?
Or, should he go back to being followed?
People always like to settle for second best.
"I will not accept your challenge," he said calmly. As a psychologically mature adult, he could understand the other party's desire to be recognized, so he could calmly and rationally deal with unreasonable guys.
It wasn't a transmigrator looking down on a native, but an adult looking at a child.
Lin Ke didn't speak, and left directly from the side. With his understanding of the Child of Destiny, it was unlikely that he would sneak attack someone without the will to fight.
So, he should just ignore this guy and leave.
Uzumaki Naruto put his hands on his hips and shouted, "What's wrong, are you scared? Kid!"
Kid?!!
Lin Ke stopped, took a deep breath, and continued walking. It didn't matter, it was just a title, just a title, don't mind it.
I'm an adult, that's right, I'm an adult, I can't argue with a kid.
Uzumaki Naruto quickly ran in front of him, "Hey, I'm talking to you, kid, you're very impolite!"
"First of all," Lin Ke stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm not a kid."
"Secondly, I won't fight with you."
[Good, Lin Ke, you really have the demeanor of a mature adult and will definitely become a Chunin soon]
Suspecting that the Third Hokage or other Anbu were watching, he straightened his back and tried to look as calm as possible.
Improvised performance, now starting! "Here~" Uzumaki Naruto raised his palm and held it flat on his face to the top of Lin Ke's head.
Well, he was 1.45 meters tall, and Lin Ke was just over 1.2 meters tall. With both of them wearing shoes, the gap hadn't narrowed much.
A height difference of twenty centimeters...
Bang! Lin Ke felt something snap in his head, and his body acted on its own, performing a very standard sweeping leg.
"Thump!"
Uzumaki Naruto fell to the ground.
Lin Ke reached out and held his hand flat at the position of his knee until it was above the guy's head, looking down on him and said, "Listen up, 'kid' is what I use to call you."
[As expected, this is a very troublesome thing]
He sighed inwardly. With his understanding, this guy would definitely not let it go. Next, unless he moved and stopped going to Ichiraku Ramen, otherwise...
Sigh.
[Damn it, I'm just still growing!]
Lin Ke muttered silently. Being a little over 1.2 meters tall at the age of nine was normal, okay? He would grow up soon and would definitely become a big guy of 1.8 meters, no, 2 meters tall.
[If that doesn't work, I'll find a Ninjutsu that can make me taller!]
He thought fiercely, [Then I'll go pilot a Gundam, and then come and compare heights, you mere Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki...] Thinking this, he quickly left the spot.
"Damn it, this guy is so strong..." Uzumaki Naruto rubbed his arm where he had fallen, his face full of fighting spirit. What he feared was never indifference, but piercing disgust.
Unsurprisingly, Lin Ke had really gotten into trouble.
Trouble in every sense of the word.
...
——Hokage's office.
[A Genin with Chunin talent]
"Yan Shui, you really think highly of this child."
The Third Hokage closed Nara Yan Shui's report on Fifth Squad. In fact, normal Genin teams wouldn't have this step.
But the Fifth Squad was different. Lin Ke was showing more and more special abilities, and the village was paying more and more attention to him. His Chakra was a little low, and the speed of releasing secret techniques was a little slow, but according to his performance in the training ground that day, he could completely change the battle situation for the Chunin and Genin on the battlefield.
He was indeed not enough to be seen by the Jonin, but how many Konoha Village standard Jonin could there be in a local war? In times of war, Lin Ke should have been promoted to Chunin and sent to the front line of the battlefield as a candidate 'Special Jonin' or candidate 'Jonin'.
Now it is a peaceful era, so——
"Yan Shui, it looks like I'll have to trouble you for a while longer." The Third Hokage said with a gentle smile on his face.
He was the Third Hokage who inherited the Will of Fire. Just as the First Hokage hoped, the children were the hope of the future. Since an old bone like him could still support for a while, there was no need to rush the new generation to see the cruelty of the ninja world too early.
Nara Yan Shui scratched the back of his head and said with a smile, "Well, they are also very worry-free for me." In fact, Yuan Wei and Xia's qualifications and talents were still a little lacking.
Fortunately, Lin Ke was particularly worry-free. Not only was he excellent in his own performance, but he also managed his two teammates very well.
When learning to climb trees and walk on water, he was not stingy with his insights and tricks, and taught them to his companions, except that his personality was a little too mature and indifferent.
In his mind, this child was the most pleasing of all the little devils he had ever seen.
The little devils nowadays are more worrying than the last, especially Shikamaru from Shikaku's family, that guy...
His thoughts diverged a little, and he couldn't help but compare the two little devils he had come into contact with.
"Swoosh~" An Anbu appeared beside the Third Hokage, reported a few words softly, and entered the shadows.
The smile on the Third Hokage's face became more obvious. He took out a crystal ball from the drawer, and the Telescope Technique came easily. Uzumaki Naruto's image appeared on the crystal ball.
The Konoha Village's Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki was hiding in the grass, secretly peeking at the three members of the Fifth Squad in the distance.
His sneaky appearance was really... a little funny.
The Third Hokage did not avoid Nara Yan Shui when he released the Telescope Technique, so he also took a look. When he saw the picture, he probably knew why he was peeking in front of him.
Then the two people's attention was attracted by the three members of the Fifth Squad. With their eyesight, they could easily deduce what the three people were doing from the practiced movements and fragmented words.
"He really is a mature child..." The Third Hokage sighed.
Even in times of war, children who were forced to grow up did not have such capacity.
After so much observation, he was inclined to promote Lin Ke to Chunin after a while, so that he could further cultivate this child.
As he got older and his body weakened, he was less and less able to do many things. While he could still radiate some residual heat, he could give some resources to the children he valued and cultivate them, which was also investing in the future of the village.
The two of them watched quietly for a while, until they saw Uzumaki Naruto jump out to provoke Lin Ke, and then——
Listen up, little devil is what you're called
Seeing Lin Ke's childish behavior with his own eyes, the Third Hokage looked up at Nara Yan Shui with a smile. There was a strange sense of relief on both of their faces.
Children who are too mature are always distressing
