At this time
In Hokage's office.
A group of Jōnin are gathered here, watching the classroom through the crystal ball.
"Is this brat the chief student of this year?"
Kakashi glanced at Ryosuke in the crystal ball with one eye.
He vaguely remembered meeting this little kid in the Ichiraku ramen restaurant more than two years ago.
"Does Lord Hokage have any special plans for Ryosuke?"
On the side, Kurenai asked curiously.
In the past two years, Ryosuke also often visited Kurenai's house as a guest, and occasionally even slept there.
Therefore, the relationship between the two is like that of siblings.
It is normal for Kurenai to care about the arrangement of Ryosuke.
"I have other arrangements, and you will know when the time comes."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, and even played tricks.
"Okay, the class placement is over now, it's time for you to meet these future students."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved them off and let them go.
"It's really troublesome, I'll take a step first."
Asuma muttered something, then turned and walked away.
But other people were not as casual as Asuma, and they dared not directly complain about troubles in front of the Hokage.
But Asuma is the son of Third Hokage. It is reasonable for people to be rude to their father.
But they are just subordinates.
Of course they cannot be so casual.
In the classroom
After Iruka announced the results of class placement, everyone was asked to wait in the classroom for their respective leader Jōnin to come and lead them.
"Ryosuke, let's go to see Lord Hokage with me." Iruka said to Ryosuke.
"Okay, Iruka-sensei."
Ryosuke nodded, and he appeased the emotions of Ino and Hinata around him, and then left the classroom with Iruka.
"I wonder what Lord Hokage will do with Ryosuke?"
Hinata watched Ryosuke disappear from sight, and said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Ryosuke is so strong. Lord Hokage must have taken this into consideration before making special arrangements for Ryosuke, and after meeting the leader Jōnin later, we'll find out."
Ino at the side patted Hinata at this time, and comforted her.
But in fact, she also had some worries and reluctance in her heart. She just didn't show it.
The other side
After Ryosuke followed Iruka all the way out of the ninja school, he went straight to the Hokage building in the center of the village.
On the road, Ryosuke was also thinking about how Third Hokage would arrange himself?
Since he was called over on purpose, there is a high probability that there is a special arrangement.
It will not be like a normal Genin team, which is directly arranged a leader Jōnin, and then three Genin are taken to perform some simple tasks, so as to adapt to the ninja life.
"Although I am the chief student of this year, the talent I have shown is not exaggerated, and it cannot be compared with the talents of Kakashi and Itachi at all."
"So the possibility that Third Hokage intends to take me as an apprentice is basically zero."
"Since it's not about recruiting me as an apprentice, then either he plans to arrange a special team for me, or he plans to recruit me and let me join Anbu."
Ryosuke actually already knew it in his heart.
There was nothing more than these two possibilities.
The former is more likely, after all, to join the Anbu, you have to be a Chūnin at least, right?
"For the special team, it may be the team of Genin who graduated in the past few years, or simply get me a one-man team, and then arrange a trustworthy Jōnin to lead."
The reason for doing so is nothing more than one point.
It's just that he fell in love with the talent of Ryosuke and planned to take him for his own use.
But because the talent shown by Ryosuke is not worthy of Sarutobi Hiruzen's large investment, so the most he will do is to arrange someone on his own to subtly brainwash Ryosuke.
Maybe even give him a little favor or something.
Like a ninjutsu scroll.
Or draw a pie.
Anyway, the benefits are definitely limited.
"You're planning to use the will of fire to brainwash me?"
"That's not interesting."
Ryosuke sneered inwardly.
After thinking about it, if Sarutobi Hiruzen really arranges things this way, he will just let a Shadow Clone deal with it at that time.
And he will just keep training.
Exactly, Ryosuke still feels that his body is still almost meaningless.
He tried it before, and ordinary kunai and shurikens could no longer pierce his skin.
But this is only under normal strength.
If Ryosuke attacks himself with the power of a Jōnin, it can still cause some small skin injuries.
Although that wound healed in the blink of an eye with his recovery ability, Ryosuke was still not satisfied.
Such a physique can't withstand those powerful ninjutsu attacks at all.
There is still a long way to go before he can reach his goal, to resist the attack of a Kage-level powerhouse without injury.
Although Ryosuke does not have to pursue this level of physique, people always have to set a goal for themselves.
It's like Naruto's goal is to become Hokage.
Sasuke's goal is to kill Itachi to avenge the innocent souls of the Uchiha clan.
Ryosuke's goal at this stage is to train a physique that can resist the attacks of Kage-level powerhouses without getting hurt.
What he is talking about is purely physique.
Not under the blessing of Chakra or something.
It's just purely physique/physical defense.
To do this, even for Ryosuke, it is very difficult.
Randomly guessing along the way, the two soon arrived at the Hokage building.
"When you see Lord Hokage later, remember to be polite."
Iruka turned around and warned.
"Don't worry Iruka-sensei, I'm not Naruto." Ryosuke said with a laugh.
"Right." Iruka nodded.
If it was Naruto, he would really have to worry about it.
After all, as far as Naruto's personality is concerned, even if it has changed in the past two years, it is still difficult to change his bluffing and careless character.
