Ninja School, the second day of the graduation exam.
Guy didn't come to school at all today because he already knew in advance that he would be added to his father Might Dai's team.
Two hours ago, students had been taken away one after another, and most of them had left the classroom.
The Third Ninja World War has entered the middle stage. Konoha has finally expelled all enemy forces that have invaded the Land of Fire, and while consolidating its front line, it has begun to try to counterattack.
Although the situation shows signs of improvement, Konoha is still not optimistic. To win the war, they must defeat the enemy on the battlefield, which requires offense rather than just defense. The reality is that Konoha's military strength is very scarce when implementing a defensive strategy. Now if they want to switch to an offensive posture, Konoha's military strength will be squeezed to the limit.
(ShixT9: You got the most op families in your village and strong dudes, just stop infighting.)
Therefore, these students who have just graduated from the Ninja School will go to the battlefield, and they may not even have time to adapt, and may go directly to the battlefield.
Fortunately, because this is a time of war, the content taught in the ninja school is much more targeted and practical than what Naruto taught in peacetime. At least basic chakra control methods such as climbing trees or treading water are the basic course content taught in the ninja school.
Of course, even so, these newcomers who just graduated from the ninja school still have no effect on the war. After they are put into the battlefield, although they can make up for the difference in military strength, for the time being, they have no positive significance for strengthening the combat power - what Konoha does is actually a cruel process of sifting the sands out of the waves, and mediocre students will be quickly eliminated by the war, while the remaining geniuses will quickly emerge.
Haori had neither aversion nor a desire to go to the frontline. Although this second life was given to him for free, he still wanted to go with the flow.
(ShixT9: I thought he wanted to go lmao, nice decision)
As a ninja, if he went to the battlefield, he would definitely be cannon fodder. Fortunately, he had other abilities to rely on.
This is actually one of the reasons why Haori doesn't have many friends. Apart from some crazy idiots and idiots like Guy and Obito, everyone else thinks Haori is mysterious and it's hard for people to trust him...
Groups of students followed their teachers out of the classroom. Haori glanced at the classroom door from time to time. He was curious about what kind of person his leading ninja was. If possible, he hoped that the person would be of higher level so that he could learn more ninjutsu from the teacher.
In a sense, the level of the leading ninja determined the future achievements of his students... Students of the same quality may have completely different futures under different teachers. The importance of the leading teacher can be seen.
Then, he saw a handsome blond ninja with a gentle smile on his face walking into the classroom with a little ninja with white hair and a mask who looked very arrogant.
That's right, this person is the famous Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, he is considered a big shot in Konoha.
As for the person next to him, it was of course Hatake Kakashi.
Haori's gaze first swept over Kakashi. Yes, at this time, Hatake Kakashi, with the title of Son of White Fang, was still very arrogant and thought highly of himself despite his young age.
Haori curled his lips slightly. Do you think you are Saiki Kusuo or Kakarot? You are just Hatake Kakashi.
Well, there is indeed a hint of jealousy in Haori-san's attitude.
After all, genius students like Kakashi who graduated from the Ninja School early are rare examples. Most people stay in the Ninja School for three years like Shiraishi Haori. Of course, if Haori wanted to, he could have graduated from the school early, but he just stayed in school.
Kakashi does have the capital to be proud of, not because of his father's reputation, but because of his own strength. At this time, Kakashi graduated from the Ninja School at the age of five, and was promoted to Chunin one year after graduation. Now he is only 9 years old, but he already has the strength comparable to that of a special Jonin.
Haori's gaze shifted to Minato Namikaze again, the future Fourth Hokage... To be honest, it was not unfair for Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas, to lose to Minato. Although the former was powerful, he had a cold personality, while the latter was indeed the perfect candidate to become Hokage. He was born a commoner, had superb ninjutsu, clear thinking, a strong and
gentle personality, and he could perfectly embody the so-called will of fire. The Third Hokage was not wrong in his choice.
Jiraiya said, "Compared to the Fourth Hokage, everyone else pales in comparison. He is the person with the most ninja qualities in history." He was not bragging about his disciple, he was telling the truth, and this was also the entire Konoha's perception of Minato.
This was probably the most important figure in Konoha that Haori had ever met - except for the Third Hokage, of course. He would often come to the Ninja School whenever he had nothing to do, and was as friendly as an old grandfather next door, but he lacked courage and vision, which led to the students in the Ninja School not respecting the Third Hokage very much.
If possible, Haori was looking forward to becoming Minato's disciple, but he knew that this was impossible. After all, even if he was not familiar with the plot of Naruto, he still knew the members of Minato's class.
What he didn't know at this time was that he would get along with Minato Namikaze in a rather alternative way in the future.
If Minato walked on the street, he would definitely attract 100% of people's attention. However, in the ninja school, everyone must have heard of the name of Yellow Flash, but they didn't know what Flash looked like, so they didn't realize that their idol had walked into the classroom.
Besides, there were less than ten people in the classroom originally.
"Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin."
Sure enough, after Minato Namikaze entered the classroom, he immediately called out the names of Obito and Rin.
"Hey, you Kakashi? Why are you here?" Obito saw a tuft of white hair appear in front of his eyes. After confirming it, he found that it was not the tuft of hair belonging to Haori. So he immediately knew who the owner of the white hair was, and then he started shouting in an instant.
Unexpectedly, Obito did not recognize Minato Namikaze, but recognized Kakashi Hatake whom he had not seen for three years. This unforgettable attachment has been engraved in the minds and hearts of both parties. Is this the legendary best friends for life?
Hearing Kakashi's name, everyone in the classroom focused their attention.
"Obito, Rin, do you know Kakashi? But let's talk after we leave here." Minato said quickly before Kakashi could provoke Obito, this guy with a head but no brains.
