The reason Yuuki was familiar with him wasn't because he had any personal interactions with Yuuki.
Rather, it was because he was a named character in the original work, and Yuuki had a clear memory of him.
Ebisu, of commoner birth, a Konoha Special Jonin, became Konohamaru Sarutobi's tutor a month and a half ago, and has close ties with the Sarutobi Clan.
This was a brief record of Ebisu in the document Yuuki held.
Born a commoner, yet able to become Konohamaru's tutor, he must have put in a lot of effort with the Sarutobi Clan, in addition to his outstanding abilities.
After re-reading Ebisu's words, Yuuki felt that it was truly a case of 'heaven envying talent'.
Just over ten days after becoming Konohamaru's tutor, Yuuki became the Hokage, and now, more than a month later, the Sarutobi Clan has become a leaky old ship.
Truly bad luck.
No wonder Ebisu would say such things; he must have been scared and eager to distance himself from the Sarutobi Clan.
As for Ebisu's shrewd and worldly appearance, and his look of hatred towards the Sarutobi Clan...
Yuuki could also understand it; a good bird chooses its tree to nest in.
The good job Ebisu had put so much effort into obtaining suddenly became a hot potato.
Anyone would be furious; if you can't blame the Village, then you can only blame the Sarutobi Clan, and it's only natural for his prejudice against the Sarutobi Clan to be deeper than others'.
In Ebisu's words, besides his worldly wisdom, Yuuki also saw the blazing will of fire within him.
Indeed, characters with names in the original work have high ideological awareness.
This was the purest commoner Ninja with the will of fire Yuuki had ever seen; it would be too unworthy for him to go down with the Sarutobi Clan's sinking ship.
How could such a brilliant pearl be covered in dust? It should emit its dazzling light and illuminate Konoha!
Yuuki directly wrote a few lines on the paper, then said,
"Find someone to implement this matter quickly."
"Yes!"
Yuuki, feeling extremely pleased, then crossed his legs and leaned back in his office chair.
Today's trivial matters had been dealt with; it was time to focus on important affairs.
Then, Yuuki's lips curved slightly, and he closed his eyes, beginning to ponder Konoha's overall situation.
The Ninja's actions were very swift; in less than an hour, Ebisu had undergone several rounds of scrutiny and two interviews.
The extremely nervous Ebisu, who had almost used all his lifelong skills, was now sitting in a room similar to an interrogation room.
With his heart in his mouth, Ebisu, not knowing what he would experience next, felt like every day was a year.
"Clang."
The sound of the door opening came, and this time, a sweet-looking girl entered, her clan crest on her clothes indicating her identity as an Uchiha Clan member.
The third round of interrogation?
Have they seen through my true nature, so they're using beauty?
Looking at the little beauty in front of him, Ebisu secretly warned himself, 'Although she's very cute, I prefer bigger ones; bring on whatever tricks you have.'
...
"Special Jonin Ebisu?"
"Ah? Ah! That would be me."
Ebisu stopped his wild imaginings, immediately sat up straight, and replied earnestly, while looking straight ahead and observing the little beauty out of the corner of his eye.
In the corner of Ebisu's eye, he saw the sweet girl smile.
It's coming!
Hold on!
Quick, think of something else to distract myself!
Huh? Why is there a hint of sadness in this beauty's smile?
She must be new, her first time?
....
As Ebisu's mind wandered again, he heard her pleasant voice, like a nightingale.
"Congratulations, Special Jonin Ebisu. After multiple rounds of evaluation and considering your excellent past performance, you have successfully obtained a new position."
Saying this, she placed a document on the table in front of Ebisu, then continued,
"You may decline, but whether you decline or accept, please provide your answer this afternoon. The subsequent procedures are detailed in the document; please review it carefully."
After she finished speaking, the little beauty, who had made Ebisu's heart beat a little faster, left directly.
Nani?!
It was only when the sound of the door closing again rang out that Ebisu snapped back to reality.
When you smiled, I had already thought of the pose!
As the little beauty left, Ebisu calmed down again and realized that he had simply overthought things. He remembered the clan crest on the beauty's clothes earlier.
Ebisu then understood that he had completely lost his head; how could a Ninja of the Uchiha Clan get involved with someone like him?
Looking at the document in front of him, Ebisu thought of the recent plight of the Sarutobi Clan, wondering if it would be the Land of Wind border or the Land of Earth border.
In his confusion, Ebisu opened the document, first shocked, then overjoyed.
It was just an ordinary teacher position at the Ninja Academy. To be honest, the previous Ebisu wouldn't have looked down on such a position.
He was a Special Jonin, after all; going to the Ninja Academy to be a teacher felt a bit beneath him.
But at this crucial moment, this indicated that he hadn't been implicated by the Sarutobi Clan.
Ebisu continued to read, and the more he read, the more he was pleasantly surprised; this was not punishment, but clearly a reward.
Yuuki's idea for Ebisu was simple: put him in the Ninja Academy to teach history and content related to the will of fire.
There weren't many Ninja as perceptive and shameless as Ebisu, and even fewer with a pure will of fire.
Teaching history and the will of fire was excellent. Yuuki highly approved of Ebisu's 'darkest period' idea; such profound insight needed to be known by more people.
At the same time, for someone like Ebisu, who was eager to curry favor, dangling a carrot was essential.
As one of the few teachers at the Ninja Academy with the title of 'Jonin', Ebisu would be assessed every three years, and if his performance was excellent, he would be directly promoted.
Ebisu silently calculated in his mind, if he performed excellently in every assessment...
Nine years!
It would only take nine years.
He could become the Vice Principal of the Ninja Academy!
At this moment, Ebisu was full of motivation, eager to immediately throw himself into the great cause of education.
Ebisu, who was very good at it, suppressed the excitement in his heart and turned in the small room towards the direction of the Hokage Building in his mind.
He bowed deeply and shouted loudly,
"Thank you, great Fifth Hokage-sama!"
Ebisu, standing up again, had undergone a drastic change in spirit and energy compared to before he came, and his heart was filled with warmth.
The light of the will of fire has finally shone upon me!
