Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 165 Naruto and Sasuke Graduate

Ninja Academy.

It was an extremely lively day.

It was even more lively than the start of the school year.

Because today is graduation day.

The sixth-grade students are about to graduate and become genin, thus contributing to the development of Konoha.

It has to be said that this system is quite outrageous.

Although ninjas mature earlier, the survival rate of children who are only twelve years old on average fighting is predictably low.

In times without war, it was relatively safe.

But when war breaks out, even genin (low-ranking ninjas) are forced into the meat grinder, facing a near-certain death.

Of course, those who survived became admirable geniuses.

For example, Itachi Uchiha or Kakashi Hatake.

However, the lack of theoretical education has led to some mental problems among them.

In my past life, even universities had psychologists.

But among ninjas, there is no such profession at all.

Speaking of this, Naruto Uzumaki might be quite suitable.

After all, don't speak ill of others.

Grade 6, Class A.

Mizuki was smiling as he looked at the crowd below.

In reality, their gazes were fixed on Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

A flicker of jealousy crossed his mind.

These damn geniuses got what they wanted so easily.

And all I can do is stay in this classroom as a small teacher.

Naruto Uzumaki, who was chatting in the sealed space, looked up with a puzzled expression.

"When did I offend Mr. Mizuki?"

"Just a weakling."

Nine Lama's disdainful voice rang out, "You even care about the malice of ants?"

"Speak properly!"

Kushina Uzumaki glared at it and said, "You stinky fox, don't corrupt Naruto."

"..."

Nine Lama hesitated for a moment, then finally said in a soft voice, "I am neither a fox nor do I stink."

I feel very wronged, but there's nothing I can do.

One wrong move and you'll be bound by several large gold chains.

"Better safe than sorry."

Minato Namikaze smiled gently, "Don't underestimate anyone; this is your father's advice based on experience."

"Um."

Naruto Uzumaki nodded and said, "I will."

"Alright, go out and take the assessment."

Minato Namikaze pointed outside and said, "The teacher is calling your name."

Naruto Uzumaki immediately left the sealed space.

There were two teachers for the graduation assessment, and Shui Mu was one of them.

The other one is their homeroom teacher.

Naruto stepped forward and began forming hand seals.

He drew the techniques of clone and transformation.

"As expected of the Fourth Hokage's son."

Mizuki gave a bright smile and praised, "Your Three Body Techniques are already very proficient, no worse than a Chunin."

But inside, I was going crazy.

A little kid who's not even ten years old has actually surpassed him in the Three Bodies Technique.

How unfair!

"Thank you, teacher."

Naruto Uzumaki accepted the headband. Although he sensed the man's malice, he remained calm and spoke politely.

"You're welcome. Go register at the school archives."

Shuimu maintained her smile.

In the original work, he tricked Naruto Uzumaki, who had failed his exams, into stealing the Book of Seals.

But he doesn't dare to do that now.

He sighed, wondering when he would have the chance to serve Lord Orochimaru.

Naruto Uzumaki turned and left.

He registered in the archives and thus became a proud Konoha genin.

But the matter is not over yet.

Next, we will assign teachers to lead the teams.

"Do you not know who my teacher is?"

Naruto asked with considerable curiosity.

"He should be a decent Jonin."

Minato Namikaze proudly patted his chest and said, "After all, I'm the Fourth Hokage."

"What use is your identity?"

Kushina Uzumaki rolled her eyes at him and said, "Son, don't worry. You're a Jinchūriki, so your teacher will definitely be amazing."

"I think it might be Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze analyzed, "Kakashi is currently teaching Sasuke, and Sasuke is most likely your teammate."

As the Hokage, he was naturally aware of the intricacies of the ninja team.

It could never have been randomly assigned.

Uchiha Sasuke is a survivor of the Uchiha clan.

In addition, the Sharingan has a restraining effect on Kurama.

If two people develop a bond, it's undoubtedly a good thing.

"Sasuke's words are indeed quite good."

Naruto Uzumaki laughed when he heard that his teammate might be Sasuke Uchiha. "With him by my side, my life as a genin is going to be quite eventful."

"Is that the main point?"

Kushina Uzumaki patted his head and said, "She's the third teammate! I hope she's a pretty girl!"

"..."

Naruto was speechless.

What does "pretty girl" mean?

How annoying.

Sakura's constant pestering of Sasuke is affecting his training.

At the same time.

Class 4A

"Ugh, why isn't today a holiday?"

Sakura Haruno said with a sorrowful expression, "I can't even eat today without seeing Sasuke-kun!"

"Then give me your bento box."

Yamanaka Ino smiled and said without any politeness.

"Inoboar!"

Sakura Haruno glared at her and asked, "Eating so much, aren't you afraid you'll really turn into a pig?"

"Hmph, I think you're just jealous of my good figure."

Yamanaka Ino puffed out her chest and said proudly.

"..."

Sakura Haruno was struck dumb, and tried to salvage the situation, shouting, "Damn it! When I grow up, I'll definitely be just as good as you!"

"I find it difficult."

Yamanaka Ino sighed and said.

"asshole!"

Sakura Haruno clenched her fists and said through gritted teeth, "Don't be too happy yet!"

Just then, Umino Iruka walked in.

She had no choice but to lower her fist.

Hinata, come out here for a moment.

Umino Iruka scanned the area and called out.

Hinata Hyuga stood up with a puzzled look on her face.

"Hey, Hinata, didn't you do your homework yesterday?"

Kiba Inuzuka, holding a small white dog, looked up and asked.

"You think Hinata is like you?"

Sakura Haruno remarked.

"I did it too."

Kiba Inuzuka declared matter-of-factly, "But Akamaru accidentally ate it!"

Akamaru, who had been quiet, suddenly raised his head and protested with a grimacing grin.

"Haha, Akamaru was just born not long ago, so we're not that close yet."

Kiba Inuzuka chuckled awkwardly twice.

Hinata Hyuga left the classroom and asked at the door, "Iruka-sensei, is there something you need?"

"Hinata, your strength has already surpassed that of a genin. Have you considered graduating early?"

Umino Iruka asked with a smile, "You're much better than the teacher. Staying here any longer won't help you improve."

Hinata Hyuga was slightly taken aback.

Because no one had told her about this.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher, why did you suddenly bring this up? In terms of ability, Sakura and Ino are also up to par."

"As expected of you, you are indeed incredibly intelligent."

Umino Iruka remarked with emotion, "It was Natsume-sama who wanted to take you as his apprentice."

"Eh?"

Hinata Hyuga was stunned.

What's going on?

Didn't Father say before that she would become Natsume's wife?

How did I become a student?

Is there a problem somewhere?

But she couldn't refuse Natsume's request.

After hesitating for a moment, Hinata Hyuga said, "Iruka-sensei, I request to graduate early."

"Alright, come with me."

Iruka Umino wasn't surprised at all.

After all, he was the Hokage's assistant.

Even the young lady of the Hyuga clan cannot be ignored.

The two arrived at Class A of Grade 6, one after the other.

"Iruka, what brings you here?"

Shuimu stood up and greeted him.

They are publicly considered good friends.

But secretly, Shui Mu was jealous, jealous that he received encouragement and help from everyone.

Because Iruka Umino's parents died during the Nine-Tails' attack, he was an orphan.

"Mizuki."

Iruka Umino pointed at Hinata Hyuga and said, "I have a student who wants to graduate early."

"Oh, it's Hinata."

Mizuki's expression changed, and he smiled, saying, "Of course, that's possible."

"Thank you, teacher."

Hinata Hyuga said quite sincerely.

What happened next was quite simple.

The Three Body Technique would naturally pose no problem for Hinata Hyuga.

After the assessment, she went to the archives to register and then entered the classroom next door.

Students who have successfully graduated are waiting here for their supervising teachers to arrive and lead them away.

Hinata Hyuga's arrival has attracted a lot of attention.

The main reason is that she wasn't a student in the same year, plus her eye-rolling feature was too obvious.

Of course, at this stage, there are no so-called "bratty kids" who dare to speak rudely to Miss Hinata.

Hinata Hyuga was a little reserved.

She wasn't used to so many eyes on her.

But she didn't blush or faint because of it.

This is all thanks to Natsume's training over the years.

"Hinata!"

Naruto Uzumaki waved from a distance.

Sasuke Uchiha frowned. Another woman. Troublesome.

Hinata Hyuga saw the two of them and walked over to greet them politely.

Because of Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno, she had some contact with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Both out of courtesy and reason, they should come over and exchange a few pleasantries.

"Did you apply for graduation early by showing up here?"

Under Minato Namikaze's tutelage, Naruto Uzumaki appears to be smarter, or rather, more emotionally intelligent, than in the original work.

"Um."

Hinata Hyuga nodded.

"So, we might even become teammates."

Naruto Uzumaki nudged Sasuke Uchiha with his elbow and asked, "Right, Sasuke?"

"It doesn't matter."

Sasuke Uchiha said indifferently, "Just don't hold me back."

"Sasuke, you need to be more enthusiastic with girls."

Naruto Uzumaki reached out and supported his head, mimicking Kushina Uzumaki's tone as he spoke.

"boring."

Sasuke Uchiha tilted his head and gave a soft hum.

Just then, a group of ninjas walked in from outside the door.

The two immediately stopped talking.

These are clearly their future team leaders.

I just don't know which one it is.

"Kakashi, there's no need to be so discouraged."

At the back of the crowd, Natsume comforted Sasuke, saying, "Although I've become Sasuke's mentor, he's still your student."

Kakashi Hatake sighed. What's going on?

He thought becoming Sasuke Uchiha's mentor was a sure thing.

Who knew that a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Moreover, theoretically, he is still one's own leader.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Natsume's words made sense, but he felt something was off.

Three thousand characters.
