Hearing Shikamaru's words, the others looked at Ryosuke and waited for him to testify.
"You should all know that after we graduate from ninja school, we will be assigned to a Jōnin to form a team, right?" Ryosuke said unhurriedly.
"I know this. A student who just graduates will form a Genin team in groups of three, and the team will be led by a Jōnin, who will be our future instructor." Naruto said quickly.
This is what he had heard from Rock Lee.
Everyone else knew a little bit about it, too.
But, Sakura and Sasuke didn't know much about it.
One of them was born as a civilian.
The other was the only one left in his family, and no one told him this common sense.
"Then do you know that Jōnin, the leader of the team, will conduct a test on the same day for the Genin team under him?" Ryosuke said.
"If they don't pass the test, they will be sent back to study for another year."
"Ah! No!!"
When the others heard the news, they immediately showed painful expressions.
Especially Kiba who had a happy face just now. Now he put on the mask of pain instantly.
"No, I don't want to go back to school."
Kiba yelled, "I will definitely pass the test of the leading Jōnin, and I will definitely not be sent back to repeat school."
"It depends on what kind of Jōnin you've been assigned to."
Ryosuke glanced at him with a smile, and said, "If you are assigned to some talkative Jōnin, then the test is basically just a formality."
"But I heard that there is an Elite Jōnin named Hatake Kakashi who has very strict requirements on the students under him. He has already eliminated several groups of Genin teams. He claims to be the leader Jōnin with a zero pass rate."
While saying this, Ryosuke glanced at Naruto and Sasuke.
After all, Kakashi will soon be their leader Jōnin.
This time, with the advance foreshadowing of Ryosuke, when they know that their leader Jōnin is Kakashi, their faces will change in fear, right?
It's interesting to think about.
That's right.
Ryosuke was actually trying to scare them on purpose.
Other people may be sent back to repeat their studies, but none of these people present will be sent back to repeat their studies.
On the one hand, their abilities have reached the official Genin standard, and they have no shortage of abilities.
On the other hand, it is also because of their background.
Not to mention Sakura, a civilian ninja, but she was assigned to team 7 and thus was destined not to be eliminated.
Others, which one does not have a big family background?
Nara, Yamanaka, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame, Akamichi, and even the exterminated Uchiha.
Which one is not from one of Konoha's major clans?
As for Naruto?
That's the prince.
Have you ever heard that the prince was asked to repeat his studies?
So, Ryosuke was saying this now, but he wad just having fun.
But, if it is other civilians, it is really possible to be beaten back and forced to repeat the school.
And some simply give up being ninjas.
So, Ryosuke is not exactly scaring them, this is indeed true.
"Oh almighty, Sage of Six Paths! Please be sure to arrange a good-tempered leader Jōnin for me!"
As soon as Ryosuke finished speaking, Kiba was already muttering.
Shino, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes under the sunglasses when he heard it.
Sage of Six Paths will not be so bored as to bless you with such a boring thing, right?
...
The next day, the prospective Genins who passed the graduation exam yesterday all came to the ninja school and were ready to be divided into classes.
Ryosuke also came to the classroom early, sat and waited for the class division to start.
He was also very curious, which class would he be assigned to?
Originally, the teams seemed to have been specially arranged.
If there are no accidents, there is a high probability that he will not be able to get in.
In this case, he can only be assigned to the same team as some other characters, and there is a high probability that they will not arrange any real famous Jōnin to lead the team.
If that's the case, Ryosuke plans to directly assign a Shadow Clone at that time, and let the Shadow Clone follow the team to perform those D-rank tasks.
And he will continue to train.
He waited in the classroom for a few minutes.
Everyone was discussing noisily who they would be in the same group with later.
At this time, Iruka also walked in with a roster.
"Okay, everyone be quiet!"
Iruka shouted loudly.
"First of all, congratulations on graduating successfully. Next, I will announce the class division. There will be three students in each class. We will start from the first class."
Iruka picked up the roster and read along, "First Class, Sato Ichiro, Coriander Kunai, Kazama Kusadako."
The three people whose names were called also looked at each other and smirked at each other.
"Second Class..."
"The third class..."
Iruka kept saying the names one by one.
But there was no mention of Ryosuke.
"Seventh Class, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke."
"Yeah! I'm in the same class as Sakura."
Naruto jumped up happily when he heard that he would be in the same class as Sakura.
"Great, I'm in the same class as Sasuke."
And Sakura looked at the cool Sasuke over there with heartache.
She completely ignored Naruto who was trying to get her attention.
Iruka calmed Naruto down with a smile, and then continued to read the following names.
"Class Eight, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Hyūga Hinata."
"Class Nine..."
"Class Ten, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chōji."
"Okay, this is the division of everyone, do you remember who your teammates are?"
After reading, Iruka put down the roster in his hand, looked at the faces in the classroom and said with a smile.
At this time, Ino suddenly raised his hand and asked, "Teacher Iruka, why didn't you say Ryosuke's name just now?"
The others also looked at Iruka suspiciously.
Ryosuke is the chief student of their Class A, so it is impossible for him to be unable to graduate, right?
"Ryosuke has a special arrangement, and he will go to see Hokage-sama with me later." Iruka explained.
"Oh my god! He's going to see Lord Hokage."
"Amazing! As expected of the chief student."
"So, is Ryosuke going to work with Hokage-sama in the future?"
"It's hard to say, maybe there is another team arrangement."
In the classroom, after hearing Iruka's explanation, everyone started discussing. Some people looked at Ryosuke with envy.
On the contrary, Ryosuke himself frowned.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is going to arrange him personally?
Ryosuke always felt that this old monkey wasn't up to any good.
