The Hyuga clan that started in Konoha

Kushina Uzumaki is the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.

The "Pig, Deer, and Butterfly" trio are the next generation's successors.

Neither their respective families nor their villages would force them to participate in the war.

After Mr. Kimura gave his speech, the next step was the Ninja School's graduation exam.

The morning exam was a written test, and the afternoon exam was the Three Body Techniques exam.

As for the written test, as long as you listen to the lectures carefully in school, you will definitely have no problem getting a passing score, even if you don't get full marks.

It’s even more of a piece of cake for Cang Si and his companions.

Don't think they skip classes every day.

That's only because they have already learned 4 years' theoretical knowledge in the first two years.

The exam started at 8 am and ended at 10 am. By 12 noon, the papers had already been graded by the teacher.

All passed!

Not only now, there are also many people who got full marks, including Souji and Minato, who skip classes on a daily basis.

After lunch, several people gathered together.

"Do you think that there won't be anyone who can't graduate this year?" Cang Si brought up a topic out of boredom.

"It shouldn't be. I don't think there is anyone who is particularly stupid in our class." Uchiha Yan said a little uncertainly.

"I don't know who I'll be grouped with after graduation." Uzumaki Kushina kicked the pebbles under her feet a little worriedly.

Cang Si had no idea about this.

The three members of "Pig, Deer and Butterfly" looked at each other tacitly.

The families of these three have always advanced and retreated together.

Many ninjutsu can be performed in coordination with each other to maximize their power.

Even if something unexpected happened, the three of them would be safe as a team.

So they didn't have any other crazy thoughts.

"I think the top management will definitely make the most reasonable arrangement." Although Minato also wanted to be in a group with Uzumaki Kushina, he could only comfort her in this way.

Looking at each other.

The lunch break passed quickly as a few people chatted.

The graduation exam in the afternoon began, and the students were called out of the classroom one by one by the teacher.

"Hinata Souji."

Soon, Souji heard the voice of Mr. Kimura calling him.

When we arrived at the classroom specifically for assessment, in addition to Mr. Kimura, there was also a teacher from the school.

"Use transformation technique, substitution technique, and clone technique in turn." Teacher Kimura in front said to Souji.

Hearing this, Cang Si transformed into the appearance of Kimura teacher.

Then he left a piece of wood where it was, and his real body appeared in the corner of the classroom.

Finally, two identical clones were created.

During the entire assessment process, Cang Si can be said to have performed in a standard manner.

After the other teacher finished recording, Cang Si left and returned to the classroom.

After returning to the classroom, I made an OK gesture to a few friends, then sat quietly in my seat waiting for the other students to finish the test.

The afternoon assessment started at 1 o'clock and ended at around 4 o'clock for the whole class.

Next, what awaits is the teacher’s verdict on the fate of all the students.

As Teacher Kimura walked into the classroom, all the students looked nervous. After all, no one wanted to be left behind to accompany the children from the next grade.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to raise your head in front of everyone.

"Congratulations, everyone has graduated!" Teacher Kimura said with tears in his eyes as he looked at the students in front of him.

This is not the first batch of students to graduate under Mr. Kimura.

But every year at this time, he couldn't help feeling happy and sad.

The happy thing is that these students are growing up, but the sad thing is that I don’t know how many of these children will survive in the future.

"Wow!"

"awesome!"

“I’m finally graduated!”

The whole class was filled with the excited voices of the students.

Influenced by other classmates, even though Cang Si had been very calm, he couldn't help but smile at this moment.

"This feeling is really great, isn't it?" Minato completely lost his usual adult demeanor and said to Sorasuke who was pretending to be calm.

Finally, Cang Si couldn't help but join the cheering army. At this moment, he didn't need to pretend to be calm.

After a long period of excitement, Mr. Kimura did not stop them.

Because he knew that students needed to vent these emotions.

After the students finally calmed down, Teacher Kimura began to distribute Konoha forehead protectors to the students one by one.

Looking at the forehead protector that Teacher Kimura handed to him, Cang Si couldn't help but put it directly on his forehead, and the other students did the same.

At this moment, Cang Si felt very confused.

He knew that from this moment on, he was a real ninja!

After distributing forehead protectors to everyone, Mr. Kimura returned to the podium and said to everyone again: "Congratulations, from today on you are all Genin of Konoha Village. Remember to work hard to complete your missions in the future. Most importantly, I hope you can all survive."

The first half of Mr. Kimura's sentence was spoken passionately, but the second half made the whole class silent.

Yes, I don’t know how many familiar classmates will die on missions from now on.

Looking at the quiet atmosphere, Mr. Kimura also felt that it was about time.

His last words were that he hoped these students would cherish their lives in the future, and he had no intention of discouraging these energetic youngsters.

"Next, we will announce the class divisions."

Finally, it’s the most exciting part, and it’s also the thing that Cang Si, Minato and others most want to know.

After all, a good teammate can greatly increase your chances of survival, while a bad teammate can sometimes even kill you.

Therefore, everyone held their breath, waiting for Mr. Kimura to announce the list.

In front, Mr. Kimura called out the names of the students in each class.

"Team Eight: Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza."

As Mr. Kimura finished speaking, there were only four people left in the class who had not been reported.

These four people are the top four students in this graduation, Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Souji, Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha En.

They were also very nervous and wanted to know who among them would be excluded from their team.

"Students who have already registered can go home first. You will still be in this class three days later, and your instructor will come to see you." Teacher Kimura did not divide the remaining four students, including Souji, into classes, but asked the other students to go back first.

The classmates looked at each other. Although they really wanted to know the class placement of the last few people, since Teacher Kimura had said so, they could only leave first.

Before leaving, the "Pig, Deer, and Butterfly" trio also looked at the few people with concern.

After all the students had left, Mr. Kimura still hadn't announced the grouping of the last four people.

"Hokage-sama, the rest is up to you." Teacher Kimura said this while Cang Si and the others were still listening attentively.

The four of them immediately turned their eyes towards the door.

At the door was the Third Hokage, the ruler of Konoha Village!

Not only Cang Si, the other three were also surprised.

I don’t know how a graduating class of students from a ninja school could have alarmed this big shot to come here.

As the Third Hokage walked into the classroom, Mr. Kimura left immediately.

All of this was actually arranged by the Third Hokage.

Even Mr. Kimura doesn't know why.

I only know that Lord Hokage must have a secret, but this secret is obviously not something that a small school teacher like him should know.

"Children, I know you must be confused now, but what I am going to say next is very important. I hope you can remember it clearly." The Third Hokage looked at the four children in front of him and said as if he had made up his mind.

"Hokage-sama, this is a very important matter, are we suitable to know it?" Cang Si asked weakly.

"Hahaha, this matter happens to be related to you, so of course I have to let you know." Seeing that his tone just now might have made several people overly nervous, the Third Hokage smiled to ease the atmosphere.

The four of them looked at each other, wondering how could this important matter be related to them, a group of newly graduated students?

But since the Hokage has said so, they can only listen carefully.

"I am going to put the four of you into a small team because you are the four most outstanding students in this class. Another reason for doing this is that I hope the other three of you can protect Uzumaki Kushina-san, even if it means risking your own life or giving up your mission."

After talking about serious matters, the Third Hokage's expression became serious again.

Several people were surprised. They didn't expect that they were a team of four.

And he even risked his life to protect Uzumaki Kushina.

This is a bit intriguing, as all three of them thought of the kidnapping of Uzumaki Kushina by the Hidden Cloud Ninja two years ago.

If nothing unexpected happens, there must be some important secret about Uzumaki Kushina!

Several people looked at each other, then nodded in agreement very seriously.

They were originally thinking that one of them would separate from them and were secretly sad, but now all the problems are solved.

Cang Si also knew the reason why the Third Hokage divided the classes in this way.

The four of them are the strongest combination this time, and they are just right to protect one of them.

Because the Nine-tailed Demon Fox is sealed inside Uzumaki Kushina's body, this can greatly improve her safety before she grows up to be the Nine-tailed Jinchūriki.

No matter what, the Third Hokage's move directly solved the problems of several people.

It's just a matter of protecting one of them, which is not difficult given their strength.

Moreover, Uzumaki Kushina herself is also very powerful.

Finally, the Third Hokage instructed that the matter must be kept secret and not told to anyone, not even parents, and then he finally left the classroom.

Chapter 40 Instructor

"Then next, should we find a place to have a good gathering?" This happy result made Cang Si very happy.

"Then let's go have some barbecue, what do you think?" Minato also agreed and put forward his own suggestion.

"I have no objection." No matter what ideas Minato came up with, Uzumaki Kushina would not object.

"No problem." Uchiha Yan would certainly not object.

When there were only four of them left, Uchiha Yan was actually most afraid that he would be kicked out of this small team. After all, his strength was the lowest among them.

Then they happily went to a nearby barbecue restaurant.

While eating barbecue, several people also talked about the strange request of the Hokage.

In fact, there are teams of four people, and at most there are teams of five people.

But they are almost all people who cooperate very well with each other, so they will not be separated when the classes are divided.

Or when the team is too weak and needs to be supplemented by more people.

Like them, the top four students in the class directly formed a team, which was really unprecedented since the founding of Konoha Village.

However, Cang Si and the others did not specifically ask Uzumaki Kushina.

Everyone has their own secrets, there is no need to get to the bottom of them.

It is enough to know that she is a teammate and a partner worthy of your trust.
