Naruto: The new beginning

Unlike Kushina, who is full of energy, several children in the Uchiha family seem to have suffered a lot recently.

Things started with the graduation ceremony of the ninja school.

This year is the 55th year of Konoha. Uchiha Itachi has just turned 12 years old, and most students should graduate at this age. 

However, Itachi, a genius of the Uchiha family, went to the battlefield at the age of 5, graduated at the age of 7, also worked in Anbu for a year.

But his three friends of the same age don't have his talent. Although they are stronger than ordinary students, that's all.

It's nothing if it's just that, after all, not everyone is a genius. As usual, as long as they graduate successfully, they can join the Konoha Police Force, the proud department of the Uchiha clan.

The Konoha Police Force was established by the second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and its members are all from the Uchiha clan, responsible for maintaining the security of the village.

Of course, this not only expressed the second Hokage's trust in Uchiha but also facilitated observation of Uchiha's every move. Mainly, Madara Uchiha betrayed Konoha and brought a large husky to demolish the village. The impact was too great, and Tobirama had to guard against it.

But Tobirama didn't blindly reject Uchiha, he also cultivated a ninja-like Uchiha Kagami, who was very good and close to the village.

After Tobirama died, the senior Konoha leaders, led by the third Hokage and Danzo, did not fully understand Tobirama's intentions and blindly suppressed the Uchiha family. 

Under the blind operations of some people (there should be no objection to throwing this blame on Danzo), there were differences between Uchiha clan and Konoha. 

At the same time, voices within the Uchiha clan calling for a coup loudly emerged, causing Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, a great deal of headaches

It was not until the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, took control in recent years that the situation improved. Everyone knows that the Fourth Hokage once had a disciple from the Uchiha clan who died heroically in the war.

Of course, they didn't know that the "hero" Obito, who was presumed dead, was alive, and Minato was worried about how to find him.

These were not the concerns of the three Uchiha friends who had just graduated. They just wanted to join the Konoha police force.

However, the day before they were about to graduate, they were called by the clan head Fugaku.

Fugaku sat on his knees in his living room, looked at the three somewhat restrained young people in front of him, and said with a serious face, "Gen, daiki, Jiro, you will graduate soon."

Uchiha Gen, Uchiha Daiki, and Uchiha Jiro replied in unison, "Yes, Patriarch!"

"Originally, I should have arranged for you to join the police force, but the plan has changed."

The three of them were a little flustered. They had been looking forward to that day for a long time. The police force is the proud department of the Uchiha clan and the dream of every child, Could it be that their grades were so poor that the clan head was disappointed?

"Don't be nervous, it's not because of your lack of ability but because of other arrangements for you." Fugaku briefly talked about Uchiha's situation and continued, "Over the years, I have had many exchanges with the Fourth Hokage, and we have been working hard for Uchiha to integrate into Konoha smoothly"

"Now Shisui has joined the Shadow Guards, and Fourth Hokage holds him in very high regard. According to Shisui, the Fourth Hokage once instructed him on the Body Flicker Technique, almost treating the members of the Shadow Guards as his students."

"And Itachi has already joined Anbu, and the Fourth Hokage deliberately asked his disciple Kakashi Hatake to lead him for a while."

"But just the two of them are not enough. I also hope you can work hard for it."

The three of them were both excited and apprehensive. They didn't expect the patriarch to entrust such an important matter to them. Did he want them to join Anbu? Or even... the Shadow Guard?

Gen dared to ask, "So, what do we need to do?"

Fugaku said, "I want you to be like ordinary ninjas. After graduation, you will form a team of three, led by a Jonin, to perform tasks, not only you but also future graduates of the clan will do the same, including my son Sasuke."

The three of them silently digested Fugaku's words. Their long-standing dream was shattered by the words of the clan head. 

But at the same time, the clan head seemed to have high hopes for them, otherwise, he would not have explained so much. This feeling made them a little overwhelmed.

"Anyway, gather on time tomorrow, and the village will appoint a very good Jonin as your leader. In the future, follow his instructions and don't bring shame to the glory of the Uchiha clan!"

"Yes!"x3

The three responded reflexively, then left in a daze.

****

At 5:30 the next morning, the three of them arrived at the gate of Konoha. This was the location the head teacher had told them. To give the teacher a good impression, they arrived half an hour early.

The patriarch said that the leading teacher is an excellent Jonin, so he would be very serious, as majestic and powerful as the clan head. They must not be late.

The three of them stood in place and waited, but 20 minutes later, the teacher hadn't come yet. It was still too early. Except for the two guards at the gate, there was no one around, except for an occasional green-clad figure running in various strange postures.

At six o'clock, when the three of them were getting a little impatient, the green-clad figure, who had passed by for the third time, stopped in front of them, With teeth seeming to flicker with a strange light, he raised a thumb and said:

"Yo! The three young men, are you Gen, Daiki, and Jiro?"

The three of them were stunned for a moment. They had a bad feeling and replied, "Yes. May we ask who you are?"

"Good question!" Gai struck a few self-assured poses and said, "I am Konoha's Proud Green Beast... Might Gai!

From now on, I will be the leader of Team 4. Let's shed the sweat of our youth together!"

The mouths of the three of them dropped open, almost petrified on the spot. No matter how you look at this teacher, he doesn't seem normal!

Is he the "very excellent Jonin" that the clan head mentioned? Have we misunderstood what excellence means? And what is Konoha's beast? I think you are Konoha's White Fang! This tooth is going to blind our Sharingan that we haven't even awakened yet!

"Uh...Hello, teacher..." the three poor children replied mechanically. First, they were unable to join the police force, and then they were disillusioned with the excellent Jonin. Their worldview was a bit shattered, and their eyes were faintly tearing up.

"Oh~~~~~~" Gai shed tears of excitement and hugged his three students, "I became a teacher! I must do my best! Then, Gen! Daiki! Jiro! Let's face the rising sun and have a hot-blooded morning run! This is youth!"
