Chapter 768: A Deadly Infection!
While Fujin's presence excited the younger ninjas, it had a relieving effect on the older ninjas. Seeing Fujin made them feel confident about Konoha's future.
"With him, Konoha will be safe for another half a century."
"Hahaha, yeah. What I'm looking forward to is how much stronger he'll become. He is only sixteen."
"Indeed! He might even surpass the Fourth Hokage! Once he does, other villages will think ten times before starting a war against us or they'll be burned just like Suna!"
"While there is no doubt about his strength, I'm looking forward to how he'll lead us."
The ones present in the training ground weren't just strangers. There were several acquaintances of Fujin in the army as well. In one corner of the training ground, three men stood together while looking at Fujin.
Kimiyama Yasuoka muttered, "I knew he'd become strong, but I never imagined that he'd reach this level, let alone in just a few years."
Obake Kaneie recalled his memories while saying, "Yeah, I still remember that mission like it was yesterday. To think he was so modest back then."
Endo Tadao chuckled and said, "You know, we may never be promoted to Chunin, but how many Chunins here can say that they had Suzuki Fujin as their team leader? Already so many of our classmates are jealous of us, haha!"
