Chapter 15 Early Graduation

In a completely enclosed conference room in the Hokage Building of Konoha.

Early in the morning, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Itachi Uchiha and also called in Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, the two Hokage advisors.

Of course, he also had someone notify Danzo.

However, the other party has yet to show up.

Hiruzen Sarutobi assumed that Danzo was transplanting Shisui's eyes, so he decided not to wait any longer and planned to find him later to ask him what had happened.

As for the topic of this discussion, it is naturally the death of Uchiha Shisui.

"I feel very sorry about Shisui. I put too much pressure on that boy, which led him to take the path of suicide for the sake of the village and to prevent a civil war in Konoha."

First, Hiruzen Sarutobi praised Shisui Uchiha highly, appearing heartbroken and distressed.

This deeply moved Itachi Uchiha. He knelt on one knee, nodded, and said, "Hokage-sama, you flatter me."

"Shisui was a core figure in the hearts of the young people of the Uchiha clan. His suicide caused a sharp decline in the fighting strength and morale of the Uchiha clan. This was Shisui's own choice."

"In terms of the outcome, the budding rebellion was contained." Koharu Utatane narrowed her eyes, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However, Danzo sent word that some members of the Uchiha clan now suspect that you killed Shisui and took his eyes."

"Danzo." Itachi Uchiha clenched his fists, suppressing his anger, and explained, "Shisui and I were both thinking about the interests and future of the Uchiha clan. It was just something some people with ulterior motives were making baseless accusations."

At this point, Itachi's voice grew even heavier, "Shisui didn't even show up at the agreed-upon location."

Seeing the anger rising in Itachi's heart, the situation was very likely to get out of control.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was fully aware of Shisui's death, quickly changed the subject: "On this point, I have no doubt that Itachi, like Shisui, was a successor to the Will of Fire."

As Itachi said, it was nothing more than baseless speculation by some people with ulterior motives.

Itachi, you can go down now.

The village will never forget everything Shisui did.

Now that Shisui is gone, we'll need you to help us with the Uchiha situation.

"I am deeply grateful," Itachi Uchiha replied respectfully, then rose and left.

Watching Itachi Uchiha leave, Koharu Utatane said with some dissatisfaction, "Hiruzen, why are you speaking up for Itachi Uchiha? He's highly suspected of Shisui's death."

Mitokado Homura chimed in, "Koharu is right, Uchiha Itachi is no longer trustworthy."

"The village has finally stabilized, and the Uchiha clan still needs Itachi's care. It's not advisable to start a conflict." Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched violently. He couldn't very well tell Shisui that he was the one who orchestrated Danzo's actions.

"But we can't just let Itachi Uchiha act alone," Koharu Utatane retorted.

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand. I will send someone else to keep an eye on the Uchiha clan."

"Has someone already been chosen?" Both Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked surprised upon hearing this.

"Yes, that's Fujiwara's child, Fujiwara Chiya. Because she saved Uchiha Izumi, who was the same age as her, during the Nine-Tails' attack, the two became very close. As a result, she has been able to frequently visit the Uchiha clan over the past six years. If we let her replace Shisui in monitoring the Uchiha clan, it won't arouse any suspicion."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought over information on Chiya Fujiwara.

The two Hokage advisors looked at him, and Koharu Utatane suddenly realized, "This kid has a clean back view and good moral character, so he's a good choice. But he hasn't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, has he?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "You can rest assured about that. This child has a very good foundation, and his strength has already reached the graduation level. He has never missed a moment of training. He's just a bit low-key. With a little guidance, his future is promising."

Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. "Then let him graduate early. Anyway, there's no point in keeping him in the Ninja Academy for another year. But who do you plan to appoint as his team leader?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said, "Let Kurenai go. Kurenai doesn't have any missions lately. We can also select two genin from the two who failed last year's Chunin Exams to form a team with Kurenai and Chiya."

"Let them test Chiya's actual strength, and then train him for a period of time. As long as he meets the minimum standards of the Anbu, we will recruit him into the Anbu to serve as an undercover agent to monitor the Uchiha."

"Graduation?" Chiya looked at the Chunin teacher with some surprise.

The Chunin teacher smiled and said, "Yes, Chiya, you have now mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, and you are excellent in every other aspect as well. I am very proud of you. Congratulations on your graduation."

"Graduation isn't a problem. It's just that this academic year has only just begun, isn't it?" Qianye said lazily, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

The Chunin instructor chuckled awkwardly, "You really can't hide anything from you. Actually, this was ordered by the Hokage himself."

"Lord Hokage?" Upon hearing this, Chiya, ever the drama queen, was instantly filled with enthusiasm.

Seeing this, Chunin-sensei's smile deepened, and he patted Chiya on the shoulder, "Yes, it's the Hokage-sama. He has been secretly watching your growth all along."

"Really?" Qianye asked in an extremely exaggerated tone.

"Of course it's real, how could it be fake? This is your headband, along with your ninja tool pouch and kunai pouch. The Hokage has high hopes for you, and these two items are gifts from him," he said, handing over a ninja headband, a ninja tool pouch, and a kunai pouch.

"I will definitely live up to the Hokage's expectations. I will dedicate my own strength to Konoha." Chiya deliberately showed an extremely admiring expression.

The Chunin teacher smiled and said, "Good luck."

Next, in front of the whole class, the Chunin teacher announced that Chiya had graduated early.

No one had any objection to this. Apart from the freakish Itachi Uchiha in the first year, Chiyo was the most outstanding student in this year's class.

Today will be Chiya's last day of school.

That evening, Uchiha Izumi celebrated Chiya's promotion to genin.

The next morning, he equipped himself with a ninja tool pouch and a kunai pouch, took out the Mirror Flower Water Moon, and wore it on his waist.

Following the teacher's directions, they arrived at an empty classroom in the ninja academy and met up with their teammates and the teacher in charge.

When Qianye arrived at the classroom, both of her teammates were already there.

One of the teammates was a blonde girl with twin ponytails named Akizuki Airi. She had a loli-like face, extremely fair and youthful skin, and a voluptuous figure that was completely out of place for her age.

She has a youthful face and huge breasts.
