The matter between Asahi and Yūhi Shinku has been perfectly resolved, and the satisfactory conclusion pleases Sarutobi Hiruzen.
On one hand, he gained some understanding of Asahi's strength, and on the other hand, the bond between Asahi and the Leaf Ninjas deepened.
Time quickly moved into the afternoon. In reality, the teachers at the Ninja School had long known which students would graduate and which would need to retake the exams.
They had already submitted the rough class list to the Hokage's office.
So, even before the students underwent their assessments, the class assignments were already sorted out.
However, due to Asahi's involvement, Konoha needed to reprocess the class assignment information.
Therefore, the students at the Ninja School did not receive their class information right away.
But the students were unaware of this, and it didn't matter to them. Although they were excited to know which class they would be in, they could wait for half a day.
At this moment, the students who passed the exams had gathered in the classroom, discussing whom they would be grouped with.
Asahi's two future apprentices, were also gathered with the others, discussing the team and the instructor of higher-ranking ninjas.
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter who I'm in the same class with, as long as they don't drag me down."
Sarutobi Asuma said coolly. With his somewhat elevated status, he immediately elicited gasps from a few female students, giving off a taste similar to Sasuke in later years.
Ebisu adjusted his sunglasses, "Indeed, I have no objections to being in a team with anyone, but I hope my higher-ranking ninja instructor is someone proficient in ninjutsu. This way, I can compensate for my weaknesses."
"After all, my basics in Taijutsu and Throwing Techniques already surpass those of ordinary Genin."
The reasoning was sound legit, but when spoken by Ebisu, Obito couldn't help but suspect him of showing off.
For Uchiha Obito, the "future Hokage", what he detested the most was the kind of showing off behavior exhibited by Ebiso.
Just as he was about to jump out and retort, Rin spoke up.
"I think having a good teammate is crucial. After all, on the battlefield, you can't always fight alone."
Upon hearing Rin's words, Uchiha Obito's earlier temper dissipated in an instant.
Rin needed a good teammate, and needless to say, he, Uchiha Obito, am more than willing to oblige.
"That's right, I think Rin makes a lot of sense! Anyway, if I can be in the same team as Rin, I'll be very satisfied."
"Well, that might be a bit difficult. Think about it, this time, neither you nor Rin performed too well. According to the usual situation, the hope of you two being on the same team is not too great."
After Obito made his statement, Kurenai and Shizune calmly analyzed the situation for him.
They were not wrong in what they said, of course, theoretically.
According to Konoha's consistent principles, unless it's a specific team like Ino-Shika-Cho or the reconnaissance team where Hinata was in the original work.
In a team of three, there must be a certain level of complementarity.
And currently, Obito and Rin obviously didn't have clear complementarity.
Of course, in the original work, Obito and Rin were still on the same team, but at that time, Rin's role seemed more like a buffer between Obito and Kakashi.
After all, no matter how you look at it, Obito is from the Uchiha clan, and everyone knows about the Uchiha clan.
A ninja from the Uchiha clan and the son of the White Fang of the Leaf being teammates—plus, considering how much Obito values Rin—one can boldly speculate, did the Uchiha clan have a hand in this?
However, now, regardless of the original historical process, whatever considerations Sarutobi Hiruzen had in forming a team with Obito, Rin, and Kakashi, with the intervention of Asahi, the dream of Obito and Rin teaming up is clearly falling apart.
"Ah! How could this happen~"
Upon hearing the words of Kurenai and Shizune, Obito's face drooped instantly.
Crack—
Just as the group was still chatting, the door of the classroom was pushed open by a Chunin teacher holding files.
Obito immediately became alert; he knew this was to announce the class assignments.
Although Kurenai and Shizune had just analyzed the probability of him and Rin being in the same team being very low, what if?
Including Obito, everyone's eyes turned to the Chunin teacher.
"Cough cough~"
Sweeping a glance at the students in the classroom and confirming that everyone was present, the Chunin teacher opened the file in his hand.
"Next, I will announce your class assignments. Pay attention, after you know which class you are in, stand together, and wait for your higher-ranking ninja instructor to come and take you away."
"First Team: Akimichi Choju, Nara Shikari, Yamanaka Inori."
Well, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the combination was not surprising to the students.
The three who were called stood together as if they had known the results for a long time.
"Second Team..."
"Fifth Team: Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Nohara Rin."
"Darn it! Did I really not end up in the same team as Rin? But why is Kakashi here, stirring up trouble!" Uchiha Obito muttered through gritted teeth, regret evident in his voice.
If I perform as well as Asuma, then being in the same class as Rin is guaranteed.
"Teacher, didn't Kakashi graduate a long time ago? Why is he in the same class as Rin?"
Although not being in the same class as Rin disappointed Obito, the fact that Kakashi was in Rin's class made it even more unbearable for him.
The Chunin teacher didn't hide anything and directly explained:
"Oh, that's because during a previous mission, Kakashi's teammate unfortunately got injured and couldn't continue the mission. So now he's alone, and since you guys have graduated, he can fill in the understaffed team."
"Damn it! How can Kakashi be so lucky!"
Obito, somewhat frustrated, grabbed his own hair. He was really envious of Kakashi. They had already graduated, and Kakashi still managed to end up in the same class as Rin.
But the Chunin teacher didn't care about Obito's breakdown; his task was not yet complete.
"Uchiha Obito, Yūhi Kurenai, Shizune, pending."
"All right, class assignments are done. Everyone, wait patiently for your higher-ranking ninja instructors."
After saying that, the Chunin teacher was about to leave the classroom.
This completely stunned everyone in the class.
Pending? What does pending mean? The remaining three are not in the same team! After so many years of schooling, they've never heard of graduating students having a pending status.
