Although Aoba had accepted this ring, he had already made up his mind to temporarily pretend that it didn't exist and put it in the ninja bag.
Only when he thought that it could be used would he be able to display its true meaning truly.
…..
Not too long later, on the second day after Aoba and Itachi finished celebrating, they received a new notification.
Sensei asked them to meet at 9 o'clock at the No. 1 training ground.
As for who the leader of the team was, they still did not know.
However, when Aoba arrived at the last pinch point, he immediately widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Mikawa, why is it you?"
That's right. This time, Sarutobi not only put Aoba and Itachi into the same team but also carefully screened many candidates for being the team's sensei and finally decided on Mikawa for some reason!
Moreover, Mikawa, who had completed several high-difficulty missions in succession, had also been promoted from special Jonin to the real Jonin!
After all, contribution and experience could make up for the lack of strength. In addition, the task of being a Sensei was not easy to do. Of course, he had to get some benefits first.
Regarding this, Aoba naturally did not know at all.
Speaking of which, he had not seen Mikawa for more than half a year, so he was still a little excited!
"Call me Mikawa Sensei in the future!" Mikawa said with a straight face. If not for Hiruzen-sama telling him to do this and about the shocking growth of Aoba when he was not in the village, he might not be willing to accept this job.
After all, Sarutobi's attitude was very clear. He valued Mikawa's steadiness and rich experience.
Sarutobi believed that under Mikawa's guidance, Aoba and Itachi would definitely be able to learn many very practical things. Moreover, if they encountered danger, it would be difficult to find Sensei, who was better at protecting people than Mikawa.
As for the growth of their strength, it would depend on their talent and hard work. There was not much that Mikawa could help with this, but he could provide them with the safest environment to grow.
In general, the decision that Sarutobi made might not be the most perfect one, but it must be the most suitable one at the moment!
Aoba happily responded. He already knew Mikawa's character, so he was not afraid at all.
On the contrary, Itachi and another guy with a pale face who carried a knife on his back shouted very seriously, "Mikawa-sensei."
"From now on, I will be the sensei of your team, Hirohiko Mikawa. My current position is Konoha Jonin. I am good at Water Escape and Earth Escape. My position in the team is generally support…."
From the moment he opened his mouth to speak, Mikawa had been paying attention to everyone's expressions. After confirming that no one had a strange expression on their faces after telling them their strength and status, he secretly nodded in his heart and continued to say,
"Do not underestimate the role of support. In a team, support is generally responsible for the combat wisdom and the brain of the team."
"And support is divided into many kinds, such as investigation, tracking, defense, medical, logistics, and creating a suitable terrain and environment for teammates to cooperate with the team. Even stepping up to block an attack for your teammates at critical moments. As long as the situation can be reversed In an unfavorable situation, you must not hesitate!
"Therefore, for the next period of time, I will do my best to help you grow."
"If anyone thinks that I am not worthy of being your sensei, you can bring it up now so as not to regret it in the future."
Aoba, Itachi, and another guy who did not know each other all shook their heads. It could be considered that they approved of Mikawa's idea of leading the team.
"Very good. Now, everyone can introduce themselves."
"The more detailed, the better. It can also be considered a formal understanding of each other. After all, in the future, you have to learn how to cooperate with the team to make up for your lack of strength. Because there is no ninja who is proficient in everything in this world. Only by learning to cooperate can you be considered a qualified team."
Looking at each other, Aoba took the lead to start the conversation. After all, he still has to give Mikawa some face.
"I am Shinomiya Aoba, 6 years old. I am good at physical attacks and have Kekkei Genkai, which can enhance my defense. I like food, and there is nothing I am afraid of. I want to become the fifth generation of Konoha!
Itachi was as calm as water about Aoba's self-introduction. There was no surprise at all. On the contrary, the other person looked at him with surprise, as if he had thought of something.
"Uchiha Itachi, six years old, specializing in long-range attacks such as Ninjutsu and shuriken. My Kekkei Genkai is Sharingan. My favorite food is Three-color dango and Natto. My interest is to study Genjutsu. My dream…"
Speaking of dreams, Itachi hesitated for a moment but did not mention the contradiction between Uchiha and the village, which made Aoba completely stunned!
"The dream is to help Aoba become the fifth Hokage."
Eh?
Not only Aoba but even Mikawa and the other person were all stunned!
Is it okay for his dream to be like this?
He actually did not want him to become the Hokage but wanted to help others become the Hokage. This was somewhat incomprehensible.
Only Aoba, who looked at Itachi, roughly knew why this guy said this.
After all, they had discussed the relevant topics for a long time, and they knew what each other really wanted.
"It's my turn. My name is Gekkou Hayate. I'm 12 years old this year. I'm good at swordsmanship and have Kekkei Genkai's stealth. There's nothing particularly I like, but I hate the smell of medicine. My dream... It's probably to work hard to survive."
Gekkou Hayate, who introduced himself last, was obviously much taller than Aoba and Itachi. After all, he was six years older than Aoba and Itachi.
However, because Aoba and Itachi broke the record and graduated early, they were considered to be the same batch of graduates.
Moreover, in terms of talent and strength, Gekkou Hayate was also the strongest among this batch of normal graduates.
Otherwise, Sarutobi would not have arranged him as the third person to join this team.
Apart from Mikawa, who was leading the team, the other three Genin s were all Konoha's favored children, and each of them had Kekkei Genkai (Aoba successfully sneaked in).
Close combat, long range, defense, and the support of Jonin's strength all at once.
It could be said that it was hard to find a team that was even more perfect than Mikawa's at the moment!
But Aoba's focus was not this, but the name Gekkou Hayate...
After listening to the other party's self-introduction, he finally remembered the chunin exam examiner who did not have many scenes in the original work and died miserably.
