The main test this time was actually to test Aoba and Itachi's basic strength, observation and vigilance.
Compared to the normal graduation standards, it could be said to be much higher!
After all, even if one was a genius, if one wanted to graduate early, they would have to pay a 'price'.
The more advance, the more one had to prove to everyone that their strength was worthy of Konoha making an exception for them!
In the past, Kakashi was like this, and now, Aoba and Itachi were the same.
If their performance really did not meet expectations, Sarutobi would not be lenient, but would send them back to the Ninja Academy to continue studying.
However, since both of them had already proved their talent and strength, Sarutobi naturally would not suppress them any longer.
As for whether he was doing this right or wrong, he could only let time judge.
After the assessment ended, Sarutobi and Shikaku left directly.
They still had a lot of work to do. In addition, they had to find a good Sensei for these two people. Otherwise, it would be a waste of their talent.
Originally, Orochimaru was a good choice, but unfortunately, Orochimaru secretly conducted human experiments. After being discovered, he directly betrayed the village, and now his whereabouts were unknown.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were also unwilling to come back. Sarutobi, as Sensei, was very sad, but he could understand the choice of his two disciples.
"Sigh, when will Konoha finally be able to welcome true peace?"
After the two of them left, Aoba ignored the line of sight beside him and prepared to slip away as well.
However, what he feared came. Anko, who was still gritting his teeth, directly blocked his path.
"Is there anything else, big sister?"
"Big... big sister?" Anko felt that this guy was deliberately provoking her, otherwise why would he dare to call her that!
"What's wrong, if you don't want to be called big sister, do I have to call you aunt?"
"Call me by my name! If you dare to call me that again, even if you are punished by the Hokage sama, I will still teach you a lesson!"
Anko was so angry that smoke came out of her seven apertures, and her chest kept rising and falling. However, this scale was still too ordinary.
"Alright, you are the senior. You have the final say." Aoba deliberately emphasized the word 'Senior'.
How could Anko not know that this guy was still talking about her age, but she was powerless to refute.
After all, she was already 13 years old, and the other party was only a 6 year old brat.
It was a fact that there was a difference of 7 years between the two of them, and there was no other way.
At such a young age, he could do whatever he wanted!
"Answer a few of my questions and I'll let you go. Otherwise, this matter will not end!" Anko resisted the urge to destroy the world and said through gritted teeth.
At this time, Aoba also knew that the other party had already endured to the limit. If he continued to hide, he might get into big trouble.
Therefore, he cooperated and said, "This request is reasonable. After all, I asked you many questions before. But after today, I hope that today's matter will be written off. In the future, when we meet again, pretend that we don't know each other."
"No problem!"
Anko couldn't wait!
She didn't want today's matter to spread!
It was best to pretend that she didn't know him!
"Alright, you can ask."
"How did you see through my disguise? I have clearly done my homework."
Obviously, if this matter was not cleared up, Anko would not let it go!
Even if she failed miserably in the gutter, she had to at least know the reason why the boat was turned. Whether the boat missed or hit the reef, there had to be an explanation!
In this regard, the answer Aoba gave was: "There is indeed no flaw in your transformation technique. In fact, I was indeed deceived by you at the beginning. I did not suspect that Itachi was impersonated."
"But you are too impatient. You have not observed Itachi enough, and you do not understand what kind of reaction he will make when facing an enemy."
"..."
"Reaction? Was there something wrong with my reaction at that time?" Anko was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion.
"If it was someone else, it might not be a problem. But Itachi would never take the initiative to command me to deal with the enemy. He would only make the choice he thought was the most correct at that time, and then try his best to deal with the enemy himself. If he could not trouble others, he would not trouble others. This is Uchiha Itachi. This is the first flaw that makes me doubt you!" Aoba shook his head and said.
So that's how it is...
Anko nodded unwillingly. She really did not understand the character of the other party. Instead, she chose the 'reasonable division of labor' that she thought most of the Ninjas would choose. The thinking of team cooperation would naturally be noticed by familiar people.
"What else?"
"There is also the problem of fighting style. I believe that the reason why you can use the Grand Fireball Technique must be because you investigated in advance and knew that Itachi knew this ninjutsu."
Anko nodded again. She was also a ninja of Fire Escape. She naturally knew how to use these C -class Fire Escape. Moreover, she also knew that the person she pretended to be would also use them.
"This can't be considered a flaw, right?"
"No, this was already the biggest flaw! With Itachi's character, she he would not easily use Ninjutsu, especially when the enemy was the first to launch an attack with the sword in his hand. If it was Itachi who was facing such a situation, he would have used the sword technique he was best at to counterattack! So I guess that you must have chosen to use the Grand Fireball Technique to block the swords that filled the sky because you couldn't do it."
Looking at Aoba's confident explanation, Anko was very angry, but she had no way to refute.
Because before this, she did go to the second training ground and watched the entire process of Uchiha Itachi passing the assessment.
And the truth was just like what Aoba said, when facing the enemy's sword attack, this guy chose to use an even more exquisite hand sword technique to counterattack, and easily defeated those Genin s.
She really could not use such an exquisite hand sword technique, so she chose another method.
After all, in her opinion, this was not a 'strange action'.
However, she did not expect this to become one of the flaws she exposed.
But...
What was the relationship between these two guys
Why did they know each other so well?
"So you came to a conclusion just based on these? You think I am a fake? What if you prove that you are wrong in the end?" Anko retorted weakly.
Aoba immediately looked at her with a caring expression, "If you are wrong, then so be it. Don't tell me that I will really kill people?"
Therefore, Anko once again remembered the process of being subdued... Her face was red!
Seeing that the other party was speechless, Aoba chuckled in his heart. Of course, there was still the most important reason that he did not say.
That was because under [Eye Of Perception]'s feedback, he had long known that the few fellows she had pretended to defeat were just ordinary clones.
If the real Itachi was here, how could such a situation occur?
