Chapter 18 The Upcoming Graduation Examination
It's just that Sasuke is too stubborn.

Although there were no direct words in every practical class, Iruka could definitely see the attitude revealed in the eyes as long as he was not blind.

Iruka was unwilling to dampen the enthusiasm of the students.

All he could do was watch Sasuke lose again and again.

"But Menma really hit me hard this time. Is he getting impatient?"

Iruka glanced at Menma, who had returned to the queue with a calm expression, with a slightly vague look in his eyes, and subconsciously this thought popped up in his mind.

"Today's practical course ends here. This is also your last practical course in the ninja school. Today is already December, and your graduation exams are coming soon. In this short time left, you must study hard and prepare for the exams. Don't make some low-level mistakes in the graduation exams. I hope to see all of you graduate successfully. Do you understand!?"

Look at the time.

Today’s teaching is almost over.

Iruka also walked lightly to the front of dozens of students including Menma, Sasuke, Naruto, Shikamaru, Hinata, etc., with a solemn look and spoke in a very serious tone.

In the years without war.

There are students who graduate early from ninja schools.

But there are very few students like Uchiha Itachi who graduated at the age of 7 after just one year of enrollment. There has not even been a single student in recent years. The few who were able to graduate early were all over years old!
Nowadays, almost all students in ninja schools have to study for six years and take part in the regular ninja school graduation examination to successfully become a Genin!
The general assessment time is set in January!

There is not much time left until January.

At most, it will be less than a month!

"Well, well, Iruka-sensei, what will our graduation exam be about? Will it be the same as the previous seniors'? "

"Yeah, yeah, Iruka-sensei, could you tell us in advance!?"

Just as Iruka finished speaking.

The queue below was like a drop of hot water dropped into a frying pan, boiling instantly. Everyone started chattering and looked at Iruka at the head with shining eyes.

Graduate!

Become a Ninja!
This is what almost everyone in this world dreams of!
Especially now that peace has lasted for a long time.

The younger generation who have not experienced war, even if they have heard countless times from the older generation about the risks of war and the survival issues of ninjas, they cannot empathize with them without any personal experience!
They only see the glamorous and powerful side of ninjas.

Danger! ?
What it is!
The little ones said they were not afraid at all!
They all want to become a great ninja, or even become future stars aiming for the position of Hokage!

No matter whether others believe it or not, they believe in themselves!

Therefore, the closer they get to graduation, the more excited these little ones become.

"Tell you the content of the assessment? You really have a good idea. The assessment will change every year. Don't think it will be the same as before, and don't think the teacher will tell you. Teacher, I can say that the content of the assessment is what we have learned before. As long as you prepare well and perform normally, you can graduate!"

When I heard the words of these little guys below.

Iruka also deliberately frowned, looked at the students in his class with a stern face, and spoke in a very serious tone.

"Eh!?"

"No!"

"Iruka-sensei, how could you do this!"

"Tell us, Iruka-sensei!"

"That's right, that's right!"

It was because Iruka's personality was too good. In the past six years, he had almost never yelled at his students, unless they were really naughty, like Naruto in the original work. But even then, Iruka usually convinced them with reason!
The main approach to correcting students’ mistakes is to use gentle and persuasive teaching.

So, of course, the students are all very close to and like Iruka.

But he wasn't very afraid of Iruka either.

I can only say that there are pros and cons!
Just like now.

Although Iruka looked serious, none of the students were really scared. "That's right, Mr. Iruka, just tell us directly!"

The one who started the commotion was this kid Naruto!

This gave Iruka a bit of a headache.

"Okay, that's all for today, school is over!"

After saying this unhappily, Iruka strode away.

"Eh!?"

"No way! Iruka-sensei!"

"Wait a minute, teacher!"

Only a group of little guys were left standing there wailing!
Menma also came after Iruka left.

He walked out of the playground with the same indifferent look on his face. In the past six years, Menma had not tried to build a close relationship with anyone.

Erzhuzi is also good.

My stupid brother.

Or as for the other members of the Twelve Young Warriors, Menma also kept a respectful distance from them.

Someone came up and took the initiative to talk to me.

Menma also responded with the most indifferent attitude.

It is destined that he will not be able to have any in-depth communication with these guys in the future.

Unless some people can really wake up, and completely.

But this is obviously a luxury.

and so.

Menma will just firmly follow his own path.

other people?
Just a passer-by in my life.

You either succeed or fail.

There is absolutely no third option, and even if there is a third option, it will not be the one that Menma is willing to accept.

Menma's departure naturally attracted the attention of some of the students, but they were already used to it.

After all, when it comes to cold expressions, Sasuke is the No. 1 in the class. At least Menma still has a formal smile occasionally.

Therefore, these classmates at most felt that Menma's personality was a little cold.

Only a very few people, such as Shikamaru and some extremely delicate girls, can more or less sense the deeper sense of alienation hidden beneath Menma's appearance.

But these people won't say it.

I didn't pay attention to or care about what the students behind me were thinking.

Menma strode away, heading straight back to his home, unlike his classmates who were looking forward to graduation.

For Menma.

The 60th year of Konoha has arrived.

But it means the beginning of the original storyline!
Orochimaru's attack, Konoha's collapse plan!
Uchiha Itachi, Jiraiya, Tsunade and others returned to Konoha.

And there is the Akatsuki organization that is about to officially launch action!

Among these people!

Each one of them could potentially become Menma’s mortal enemy!
