In ninja school.
The Third Hokage stood on the stage and gave a speech.
"Children, as Hokage and the root of Konoha, I will work hard to protect you as you grow..."
"You are the hope of Konoha Village and the future of the Fire Country..."
"As Hokage, I believe you will inherit and carry forward the will of fire, protect the village with all your strength, and grow into the pillar of Konoha!"
…
"Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless!"
…
"Master Hokage, that's very well said!"
"We believe you!"
"Wow, I'm so touched!"
The Third Hokage looked proud and gave an impassioned speech that seemed to infect everyone.
He just finished speaking.
The audience burst into thunderous applause.
Everyone's blood boiled when they heard it, as if there was a fire burning in their chests, and they wanted to sacrifice everything for Konoha!
Listen to the encouragement from Lord Hokage, the most noble person in the village!
The students of these ninja schools naturally looked excited and extremely excited.
The determination to protect Konoha is taking root in my mind...
"Lord Hokage, we will definitely support you!"
"Lord Hokage, you want to lead our Konoha to strength..."
…
They cheered and shouted in adoration.
"By the way, I also heard that Lord Sarutobi is the strongest Hokage in history."
"Yes, Master Hokage is known as the Ninjutsu Professor and knows thousands of Ninjutsu!"
"It's so amazing. Lord Hokage is so powerful that he is called the God of Ninja!"
"Wow, God of Ninjas? Who did you listen to?"
"I don't know, that's what the adults in the village say..."
…
The students at the ninja school were all talking in low voices.
Among the crowd, Sasuke's expression remained unchanged.
He sneered in his heart when he saw the people around him looking like they had been beaten to death.
Good guy, you might not know it, but Sarutobi Hiruzen is a natural speaker!
"God of Ninja? Bah! You really dare to put gold on your own face!"
Sasuke knows very well that the God of Ninja is clearly the title of First Hokage - Senju Hashirama.
The powerful Sage Body that can automatically heal, coupled with the Wood Style ninjutsu that swept the ninja world, and the open-mindedness, it is indeed worthy of the title of God of Jōnin!
Sarutobi Hiruzen?
Even if you pat the horse, you can't keep up!
Even, Sasuke thought secretly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's so-called title of God of Ninja could not have been spread intentionally because of his boasting.
Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen stepped down.
"Lord Hokage..."
The heads of the various ninja clans in Konoha almost brought their own children to greet him.
Except for the Hyuga clan.
"Haha, everyone, in the near future, you will be able to see your child become a qualified ninja!"
"The important responsibility of maintaining Konoha is left to you..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen exchanged pleasantries with the clan leaders.
Then, he left surrounded by everyone.
…
Soon, Iruka came on stage.
Let's start explaining the graduation assessment matters.
Everyone, including Sasuke, listened carefully.
"I see, five tests?"
Sasuke touched his chin. No wonder he said before that this assessment was very comprehensive.
Five assessments, including the most basic Three Body Technique, as well as shuriken and taijutsu!
Each item is worth 20 points, and the total score is 100 points.
The students' assessment performance is graded and evaluated by several teachers from the ninja school.
The graduation assessment starts with Three Body Technique, then Shuriken Technique, Taijutsu...
A total score of 60 is considered a passing grade and is eligible to become a Genin.
Soon, Iruka took out the roster and read out each name.
"First one, Nara Shikamaru!"
Shikamaru yawned and walked forward slowly.
"Hey, Shikaku, it's your boy, let's see how he behaves..."
"Such a simple ninjutsu, can't it be difficult for the Nara clan..."
"Haha, everyone, just watch."
Nara Shikaku crossed his arms over his chest, looking very confident.
really,
Bang~
A burst of white smoke exploded, and Shikamaru transformed into Iruka.
Regardless of appearance or clothing, there is no difference.
"Shikamaru, well done, full marks for Transformation Technique!"
Next, there is Body Replacement Technique and Clone Technique, Shikamaru also performed well.
These three items alone earned more than fifty points.
Nara Shikaku smiled happily when he saw this.
The other ninja clan leaders also nodded slightly.
However, Shikamaru's performance was obviously within their expectations.
"Okay, next one, Yamanaka Ino..."
Iruka continued to read.
Soon, the names of the students were read out one by one.
Iruka and others were rated based on the effect of their Three Body Technique, the time it took to perform the seal, etc.
"Hyūga Hinata, Three Body Technique total score 55!"
"Akimichi Chōji, 48 points."
…
At this time, the gap between the ninja clan and ordinary civilians was revealed.
Those born from the ninja clan have completed the basic Three Body Technique very well and can basically get high scores.
The performance of those civilian students was very average.
"Clone Technique!" Naruto quickly formed a seal.
However, the clone he created was still unbearable to look at.
Iruka slapped his face with his hand, "Naruto, you can only get 0 points for this Clone Technique."
"Please, Iruka-sensei, I finally got a clone, please be accommodating."
Naruto begged for mercy.
Not far away, many parents looked disdainful.
"Oh, this demon fox is indeed the tail end of a crane."
Sasuke took in everything and didn't take it seriously.
Maybe others don't know it well.
In fact, Naruto's talent is quite good.
However, the Nine Tails in his body interfered with the control of his Chakra.
As a result, it was difficult for him to condense Chakra and practice ninjutsu.
Covering up his original talent.
"Next, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Suddenly, Iruka shouted loudly.
"Sasuke, come on!"
"Don't worry, with Sasuke's strength, the graduation exam is just trivial!"
"That's right, the mere Three Body Technique can't stop Sasuke."
All the girls cheered for Sasuke and had full confidence in him.
"Uchiha? Is it that Sharingan family?"
"Is that handsome black-haired boy a survivor of the Uchiha clan?"
"Interesting, I heard that the Uchiha clan is rich in geniuses..."
"Hmph, a genius? It's just a show-off, otherwise how could he be exterminated?"
…
The parents discussed in low voices, some were curious, some questioned, and some were disdainful.
They also wanted to see how the prominent Uchiha clan in Konoha Village would fare.
