Chapter 54 Timeskip (2years)

Two years later.

The 25th year of Konoha.

June, a hot summer day.

A small caravan on its way to another country was attacked by a group of masked gangsters. The bodyguards guarding the caravan fought back, including four ninjas hired from Konoha at a high price.

After a fierce battle, they successfully repelled the enemy. Everyone was exhausted and needed to recover their strength.

During the rest period, a Konoha ninja wearing a Chunin uniform walked to a boy who was sleeping under a big tree. 

However, the more this happened, the more dissatisfied he became. This guy was so indifferent since the beginning of the battle. They were fighting bloody battles, but this bastard.

"Haru, why were you just watching during the battle just now?"

Haru raised his eyelids,on: "Ha, are you kidding? I'm a medical ninja who can't even kill a chicken. You want me to fight? Are you crazy? Have you ever seen a medical ninja who can fight? My job is to treat you when you are seriously injured, that's all."

"At best, you only know a palm technique. How can you be a medical ninja?"

The reason why this Chunin had such a dissatisfaction with Haru was not just because of his behavior just now, but also because of his daily pent-up dissatisfaction with Haru's laxity.

Haru turned a deaf ear to him and said, "Can you stop lecturing me? It's bothering me. If you have nothing to do, just get out of here. I want to sleep."

The ninja's dissatisfaction with Haru had reached its peak, and he stopped talking and planned to teach him a lesson.

"Stop it. Now is not the time for internal strife."

The leading jonin in the mission scolded.

"Captain, please let me be willful for once. I will teach him a lesson this time no matter what. As a companion, I cannot allow a guy like him to appear in the team." The chuunin ignored the advice, raised his leg and slashed it down, all in one go.

At such a close distance, he was confident that he could catch Haru off guard and make him suffer.

Before his leg was about to hit Haru's face, he was even a little impatient to see the other party's frustrated expression.

But the result did not develop in the direction he expected. As the white smoke dissipated, only a log was left on the ground, and Haru himself had already circled behind him.

Haru poked his finger into the opponent's forehead with a pistol gesture, and said jokingly: "You are wrong on two points. First, I don't consider you as partners at all. Second, I don't want to be a ninja at all."

"So fast." The leading jonin on the side was surprised that Aokiji could be so fast.

"Damn it." The chunin turned around and whipped his fist angrily.

Haru moved slightly so the opponent's attack missed.

During the confrontation between the two, Haru grinned and said, "Let me give you a suggestion. With your strength, I advise you not to continue to be a ninja. You should go back to raising pigs. Don't be a cannon fodder and die one day."

The Chunin was furious and wanted to fight with Haru: "Haru, don't think that you are great just because you have some ninja talent. Others will spoil you, but I won't."

"Sorry, having talent is really great..." Haru said with a crooked mouth: "I don't think you will understand this feeling."

The Chunin was furious, roaring and was about to rush forward to fight with Haru again.

At this time, a stern voice sounded in the air: "Stop, don't fight anymore."

The Chunin stopped in anger.

Haru shrugged, gave him face, and found a quiet place to lie down.

"Captain, look at this guy, he is so arrogant. He actually told me to raise pigs. Who is he insulting?"

After watching Haru leave, the Chunin was very dissatisfied and reported him.     

He finally became a ninja with the hope of his whole family. Why would he go to raise pigs!

"Okay, okay, you should stop talking and don't bring your emotions into work. If you have any questions, wait until you complete the mission and return to the village." The leader shook his head helplessly.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he could do whatever he wanted if he had talent.

Haru was notorious in the village, but even so, the Hokage still spoiled him and let him do whatever he wanted.

For example, he didn't know how many times Haru had changed teams. Normal people don't have this treatment.

"Captain, after we go back, can you report to the Hokage to replace Haru? Putting a guy like this who has no spirit of cooperation and is self-centered in our team will only spoil him"

The Chunin has had it enough: "He just has a Kekkei Genkai, so why is he proud? Even if he is stronger than ordinary people, there is a limit. A ninja should rely on the power of bonds rather than individualism."

"Let me think about it." The Jonin who led the team smiled bitterly. When the Third Hokage gave him this task, he patted his chest and said it was no problem. But it has only been such a short time since he came here, and he already regrets it.

Seeing that he didn't agree, the Chunin continued to respond: "Captain, you have said this several times. To be honest, Haru is really not suitable for us."

"I admit that this guy is a genius, but this guy does not put in any effort. He is obviously very strong, but he always likes to call himself a medical ninja, hiding in the back and unwilling to participate in the war."

"Rather than having such a guy join the team, I would rather hope that it is an ordinary Genin. At least there will be one more person who can help, and the loss of the escorted target can be smaller, right?"

The leading Jonin remained silent. Under the pleading eyes of the team members, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and agreed: "Well, okay, I will go back and report to the Third Hokage and let him go to other teams."

The Chunin breathed a sigh of relief. Now he can finally get rid of Haru.

  ...

  ...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the office, looked at the application form handed over by a certain jonin and couldn't help but have a headache.

Haru is a gifted child. It would be a waste of talent to put him here. I hope that the Hokage will pay attention to talent training and find someone else.

The meaning is very tactful, but the core is one thing, get Haru out of here immediately.

Watching the jonin leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of applications. These were all teams led by Haru that ended up parting unhappily.

This was the nth time that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't even remember.

When Biwako told him the information about Haru, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately decided to promote Haru to a Genin and sent Tsunade, who was more familiar with him, to give him a ninja forehead protector.

He originally wanted to slowly influence him through the friendship between partners, but Haru was much more stubborn than he thought and was determined not to become a ninja.

He was either slacking off during the mission or slacking off on the way to the mission. Whenever he was on a mission above C level, he would , and often finds various reasons not to go.

This caused headaches for all the senior ninjas who had led Haru, and they all expressed that they did not want to lead a team member like Harru.

But giving up directly is not an option, Haru is too talented, and he can be compared with Orochimaru, who he values ​​the most.

And putting this aside, Haru's identity is also very suitable for winning over.

He is a member of the Uchiha clan, but he does not have the Sharingan, and his personality is incompatible with ordinary Uchiha. If he is successfully won over, he will definitely be an important eye to monitor the Uchiha.

After being warned by his mentor Tobirama and witnessing his friend Kagami's completely different appearance after opening his Mangekyō, Sarutobi Hiruzen is very wary of the Uchiha clan.

The most effective way to be wary is to recruit members of the Uchiha clan as his eyes.

He has successfully recruited several Uchiha clan members, including the descendant of Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Suichi. They all have visions beyond the clan and are firm heirs of the Will of Fire.

But the number is still too small, and he must find a few more eyes to monitor the Uchiha clan.
