After a satisfying meal at the rotisserie, the five-man team returned to the ninja school.
As the graduation exam was tomorrow, there were actually no classes in school today. Basically, the students were allowed to make their own arrangements.
Naruto was still sleeping on his stomach, and Shikamaru was also sleeping. Tinji sat next to Shikamaru eating potato chips, Hatata sat on Naruto's left side reading a book, and Ino sat on Naruto's right side folding paper flowers.
The third-generation successor looked at the image displayed in the crystal ball and slowly smoked.
Duo duo!
There was a knock on the office door. At the same time, a Chuunin's voice sounded from outside.
"Lord Third Generation, Kakashi has arrived.”
"Come in."
The white-haired Kakashi walked into the office and closed the door behind him, revealing a pair of black eyes that looked at the third-generation successor lazily."Third generation lord, why are you looking for me?”
The third-generation successor took a deep puff of his cigarette and pushed the crystal ball forward a little."Look at this."
Kakashi walked up two steps and looked at the golden head in the crystal ball. He raised his head and looked at the third-generation successor in confusion."Third generation master, did something happen to Naruto?”
Kakashi was one of the few people who knew the secret that Naruto was the fourth generation's son. The villagers did not talk about Naruto being the nine-tailed pillar in front of Naruto. This was the third generation's order to keep quiet. No one in the village knew that Naruto was the fourth generation's son. It was probably because of Tanzo.
The third-generation successor slowly exhaled the smoke from his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Kakashi."Kakashi, it's time for you to lead a small team.”
After the students graduated from the Ninja Academy and became Genin, before they were promoted to Chuunin, there would usually be a Jounin teacher in charge of guiding them. Of course, before they officially led the team, the Jounin teacher would also conduct some tests on these rookies.
Due to his past experiences, Kakashi's test was extremely strict. It had been fifteen years since he had been promoted to Jounin, and the elimination rate had always been at a terrifying 100%.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly. Having been known as a genius since he was young, he knew that the third generation wanted him to be Naruto's teacher.
Taking another puff of smoke, the third-generation successor asked a question that Kakashi could not understand."Kakashi, do you know how strong Naruto is?”
"I don't know." Kakashi said honestly, not knowing what the third generation meant.
The third-generation successor sighed heavily and said,""Yeah, even I can't tell how strong Naruto is right now. Kakashi, this is your mission. You have to test out Naruto's true strength.”
"Yes, Lord Third Generation."
"Alright, you can leave first."
After Kakashi left, the third-generation successor turned around and looked out the window at the fiery shadow rock. He muttered,"Naruto, what are you thinking?”
The Ninja School finally welcomed a very important day, the graduation examination...
The content of the exam was still the same. As long as one could create three clones of the basic three-body technique, they would pass.
Naruto arrived at the classroom used for the exam. The invigilator was still Iruka Umino, and there was also that unlucky Mizuki. There were more than a dozen brand new forehead protectors neatly placed on the table. As long as one passed the exam, they would be able to obtain the forehead protector and become a Genin.
Clone technique…I don't think I know this…Forget it, I'll just use Shadow Clone to fool him…
Naruto pursed his lips and thought helplessly that the clone technique taught in school was the lowest level of E-grade ninjutsu. It was just an illusion created by chakras. It had no attack ability and could be easily seen through if there were eye blood stains.
The shadow clone created a physical clone that could attack and use ninjutsu. When the shadow clone was deactivated, the experience and information accumulated by the shadow clone could be transmitted back to the main body. Therefore, the shadow clone was an A-grade advanced ninjutsu.
Thinking about it, Naruto already knew Shadow Clone Technique, so why would he learn that useless clone technique?
Naruto lazily made a mudra and split himself into three shadow clones. Then, he easily passed the exam and took over the forehead guard from Iruka, officially becoming a ninja... It was so damn easy...
After passing the graduation exam, the teachers in the school would start to divide all the students who passed the exam into groups and then hand them over to the third generation. If the third generation had no objections, they would arrange the teachers of each group in turn. This was another day.
Iruka Umino, who had a horizontal scar on his nose bridge, walked up to the podium with a smile on his face. The students he had brought with him had finally all graduated, especially Naruto and Shikamaru, who were always at the bottom. They had finally graduated successfully, which made Iruka quite happy.
" From today onwards, you will be independent ninjas. However, you are only novice Genin. The real test is still to come. You will form groups of three and carry out missions under the guidance of a Jounin teacher.”
"Three people in a group... If only I could be in the same group as Ino and Hinata... Ah ~~" Naruto said lazily, then yawned.
Even though I know it's impossible…
How could he be in the same clan as Shinata and Ino? The three members of the Pig Deer Butterfly group could not be separated, and the three perception-type members of Shinata, Ya, and Shino could not be separated either. Naruto could only fantasize about being in the same clan as Shinata and Ino.
"Hehe, as long as I can be in the same group as Naruto, I don't care about anything else.”Sitting next to Naruto, Ino had a smile on her face. She didn't care too much about these things. It would be best if Naruto could be in the first group. If not, as long as it was Hatada, Shikamaru, or Tinji, it would be fine. Of course, the probability of the latter was infinitely close to 100%.
On Naruto's left, Hatata's face turned red because of Naruto's words. In her shyness, she began her cute little habit again... to match her fingers.
If only I could be in the same group as Naruto…Hatata shyly fantasized.
" Next, we'll announce the grouping. Class One, XXX, XXX, XXX…"
“……”
" Class Seven, Naruto Uzumaki..."
It was finally Naruto's name. However, this guy still looked like he had not woken up, which made the two girls beside him instantly nervous.
"…Uchiha Sasuke…Haruno Sakura.”
"Nani?!"
Ino instantly went crazy!
It wasn't me…
Hatata instantly felt extremely disappointed…
In fact, Ino did not expect herself to be paired with Naruto at first. After all, she knew the relationship between her family, the Akidoji family, and the Nara family. It was almost impossible for their three-person team to be separated. She originally thought that it would be good if Hatata was paired with Naruto. This would also prevent other girls from getting close to Naruto.
Unfortunately, the one who was assigned to the same group as Naruto was still that damn wide forehead!!! It would be strange if Ino didn't go crazy.
It was really lively this time…
Shikamaru held his forehead helplessly. Even without his clever brain, he could guess the terrifying expression on Ino's face. It was fine if he wasn't in the same group as Naruto, but Sakura was in the same group as Naruto. Shikamaru wanted to sneak home now so that he wouldn't be swept away by the typhoon tail of Ino.
Bang!
Ino was definitely a girl who let her emotions show. When she heard the result of the grouping, she immediately slammed the table and stood up."Teacher Iruka, why are we grouped like this?!”
Iruka looked strangely at the excited Ino. He hadn't gotten his share yet, so why were you so excited?
Even so, as a good teacher, Iruka patiently explained,""Sasuke is the first place, Naruto is the last place, and Sakura's written test results are the first among everyone. This grouping is also to balance the strength of each group, and the third generation master also agreed.”
Although the third generation old man was old, he was still the Naruto of Koba, after all. He still had the power to intimidate people. When Ino heard this, no matter how unhappy he was, he could only sit down sullenly, his little face bulging like a bun.
Sakura did not know what Ino was thinking. She thought that Ino was unhappy because she was in the same group as Sasuke. She was secretly proud of herself.
In fact, Ino wasn't the only one who was unhappy. It was the same for Naruto. Although he knew that this would be the result, he was still very unhappy that he couldn't be placed in the same group as Ino and Hatata. Moreover, to be honest, Sakura before she was trained by Tsuneo... was really a piece of trash...
For this year's batch of the Nine Unyielding Experts, Xiao Ying's strength could only be at the bottom of Class Seven, Class Eight, and Class Ten. The other eight were all stronger than her. Of course, Xiao Ying herself would not realize this.
There was nothing much to say about the situation after that. Hatata, Ya, and Shino were in a group. Class 8, Ino, Shikamaru, and Ding Ji were in a group. Class 10. After grouping, Iruka gave them a few more instructions and told them to wait in the classroom for the instructor, Jounin.
