In the next few days, Kanpū continued collecting while taking classes, but because most of the students in the Academy are bronze students, and they still didn't know anything, the results of collecting was becoming less and less satisfactory.
Although the actual combat training in the afternoon allowed Kanpū to exercise his body, Kanpū has realized that the Academy can no longer allow him to achieve a major breakthrough.
At this time, the news of Shisui's application for early graduation has swept through the entire Academy like a storm in just half a day!
Many classes have begun to talk about Shisui, and the Class 8 is naturally no exception.
When Kanpū heard the news, he wasn't too surprised. After all, if Shisui didn't graduate early, then his title as Shisui of the Body Flicker (Shunshin no Shisui) could not have started in the Academy, right?
However, if Shisui graduates to become a Shinobi, he will not only be busy with missions in the future, but he will also go to battlefield. As a result, it is almost impossible for Kanpū and Shisui to have an intersection.
Then, Kanpū thought of Hyūga Shinichi again, as this guy is already in the fifth year, and it is only more than a year since graduation.
If both of them left, Kanpū will be really lonely at the Academy in the future.
'Or, should I just finish graduate early too?'
As soon as this idea came out, it's like wild grass growing wildly, and it can't be suppressed.
If he graduates normally, Kanpū will need to stay in the Academy until the sixth year.
He is now in the second year, and he is still more than four years away from graduating. In such a long time, it seems that Kanpū would only be able to train Body Revival Technique, refining Chakra, and collect bronze students. In this case, he basically can't collect any high-level skills, so it is impossible for his strength to increase sharply, but his development will be stable. After all, as his cell's activity become higher and higher, his Chakra will grow more and more.
But at the same time, Kanpū will definitely miss many opportunities, such as… Ryūmyaku mission.
After all, no matter what mission it is, it is impossible for Minato to bring an Academy Student.
But if he graduates early, there may be a glimmer of hope for him to join the Ryūmyaku mission.
And if Kanpū graduates together with Shisui, then the two students who graduated early would most likely be assigned to the same team.
Furthermore, after graduation, he will become a real Shinobi. When the time comes, he will talk and laugh with other Genin, and there will be no weak friends. At that time, Kanpū's Collection Technique would become more powerful.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Now is the time of war. Although the village will not allow Genin, who just graduated, to be on the frontline, but in a year or two, when the other Great Shinobi Villages starts to invade Konoha, then Kanpū will definitely go to the frontline.
However, danger also often means opportunity!
If he really goes to the frontline, with Kanpū's strength which is just Genin-level, it is impossible to receive any dangerous missions, and then relying on the Gekkō Clan's weak influence to walk through the back door, the clan can plan an easy and safe logistical work for him, such as… Safeguarding the remains of a companion?
Furthermore, if he is doing logistics, it does not go against his purpose of low-profile development.
Thinking of these, Kanpū's heart begins to stir more and more.
At the Academy that day, Kanpū poked Iruka in the arm and asked softly about applying for graduation in advance.
Iruka stared at Kanpū in daze, his eyes are full of shock: "Kanpū, do you want to graduate early like Shisui?"
"I'm just asking casually, don't be too sensitive "Kanpū urged, "Hurry up and tell what you know."
Iruka was skeptical, but still replied: "For you wanted to graduate early, you need to apply for it to a sensei first. After the application is approved, the list will be reported to Hokage-sama. After that, the Academy will arrange the exam at the end of the semester. After passing the exam, you will officially graduate from the Academy and become a real Shinobi!"
"Does the exam will only be held at the end of the term?"
Kanpū calculated that there are still more than three months until the end of this semester.
"Kanpū, I advise you to give up this idea." Iruka said quietly beside him, "It is impossible for you to graduate early."
"Why?" Kanpū subconsciously said, "Are you looking down on me?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Iruka's mouth: "Didn't you say you don't want to graduate early?"
"Uh…" Kanpū is depressed, 'I was actually schemed by Iruka?'
"But Kanpū, what I said just now was true, I wasn't joking with you!" Iruka said seriously.
Kanpū carefully observed Iruka's expression, he looks very serious, and it didn't look like he was lying.
But with Kanpū's current three basic techniques and Ninja Tools' throwing, even if his Chakra is a shortcoming, the graduation exam is still three months away. He has enough time fiercely train the Body Revival Technique, and coupled with the perfect level Chakra Refining Technique, he is confident that he will have more Chakra at the end of the term!
Thinking back to the content of Naruto's graduation exam, there is absolutely no reason for Kanpū to fail.
As if seeing the doubts on Kanpū's face, Iruka explained with a smile: "So, to graduate early, you must first apply to a sensei, and only after passing the application can you participate in the graduation exam!"
"Passing the application …"
Kanpū's heart sank, "Could it be that the application can fail?"
"Of course, if all the students' applications are passed, wouldn't the students be messing around by applying for early graduation?" Iruka said.
"Then, what are the criteria for passing the application?" Kanpū asked immediately.
"Generally speaking, as long as your talent in being Shinobi is very good, you can pass the application, such as Shisui. However, Yu-sensei is different. He not only values Shinobi's talent, but also values the theoretical knowledge!"
Iruka looked at Kanpū with a faint look in his eyes, "Fatty-kun's talent is not very good, but Yu-sensei still values him, it is because Fatty-kun's theoretical knowledge is very good. So Kanpū, if you apply for early graduation with Yu-sensei, he will definitely require you to master the theoretical knowledge of the sixth year, otherwise, he will not agree to your application!"
"Sixth year's theoretical knowledge…" Kanpū was very depressed. "As a Shinobi, strength is the most important thing, right?"
As long as the strength is strong enough, you can use Chibaku Tensei every time you attack, at that time, who cares if you stand at a height of five meters and at what angle you need to throw a kunai to make it the farthest.
"This is true for Shinobi, but we are not Shinobi yet."
Iruka said seriously, "My father also said that when we graduate and become real Shinobi, we will naturally have a lot of time to improve our strength, but it is difficult to spare time to learn theoretical knowledge, so the these few years at the Academy is the only time we can sink our hearts and learn theoretical knowledge!"
"Iruka, you know so much."
Kanpū said weakly.
"It's okay, these all are what my father told me." Iruka smiled embarrassedly, "He hopes that I can earnestly learn theoretical knowledge in these years at the Academy, so he told me this."
'Why!'
Kanpū raised his head to look at the ceiling and sighed.
'Is theory really important?'
It is indeed important, because the written exam in the first stage of Naruto's Chunin Exams is a theoretical examination, but it is also right to say that it is not important, because the written exam of Chunin Exams is useless, and the real test is about belief, not theory!
Therefore, Kanpū has never paid much attention to theoretical knowledge.
But he never imagined that if he wanted to graduate from the Academy ahead of schedule, his theoretical knowledge would become a roadblock.
Kanpū has a headache when he thought about this.
