March 20, Konoha 61.

Peaceful days always pass very quickly, and everyone lives a happy and stable life on this peaceful day.

“…… What the hell are you doing......" Rain has been waiting for news of the God Destroyer, but since the destruction of the main base of the "Eye", he has lost the source of news about the God Destroyer, and the God Destroyer does not seem to have taken any action since the Sea Demon was killed. Xiaoxue has been developing her own tricks, and Xia Yun has not seen them since she parted the year before last.

"wuwuhengheng ......" Sakura Haruno hummed a song as she headed to school. Today I changed into a beautiful outfit and came to the graduation ceremony.

"Well......" When passing by the flower shop, he saw Yamanaka Ino in front of the shop.

"Huh?" Ino saw Sakura as well.

“…… It's really unfortunate to meet her here......" both of them thought in their hearts at the same time.

"Good morning, Sakura-chan. ”

"Good morning, Ino. The two greeted each other with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to graduate. Ino taunted Sakura.

"This has nothing to do with the past, from today onwards, I am a ninja on my own, and I will never lose to you again. "Sakura-chan.

"......" The two looked at each other unamicably for a few seconds.

"Humph!" and don't even look away.

For some reason, the two walked side by side.

"I must have arrived at school before you!" Ino ran as he walked.

"No, I'll get there before you!" Sakura immediately chased after her.

On the way to school, parents accompany their children to the graduation ceremony.

"Mom, I graduated today. "Kids.

"Well, Xiao Lin has grown up too. "Mother.

Of course, there are also some who are not accompanied by children, and those are children who have become ninjas. Ninja schools have been reformed so that they are no longer only open to children who want to become ninjas, but also ordinary children who want to learn knowledge. However, due to the small number of people who go to school, there is a class for each grade, so children who want to become ninjas and ordinary children are in the same class, and ninjutsu classes are held in the afternoon, so ordinary children don't have to go to class in the afternoon.

……

Rain had something to do with the three generations, so he accompanied Sasuke to the school.

"Today you graduated. "Rain.

"Hmm. "Sasuke wasn't very happy.

The graduation ceremony is the same, the principal speaks to the class, takes the graduation photo, and then the ordinary children can go home, and the rest stay in the classroom, waiting for the news of the grouping.

"Ale, why are you here?" Shikamaru, who had finished using the toilet, saw Naruto as he returned to his seat.

"Hey, I've been sitting here for a long time before you see me. Naruto said unpleasantly.

"It's going to be a briefing for our ninja graduates, so you might as well go back quickly. "Shikamaru.

"I said you, didn't you see me wearing this forehead guard?" Naruto pointed to the forehead guard on his head, and then said happily, "I'm also a ninja from today." Anyway, this thing works pretty well for me. ”

"Alas. Shikamaru sighed and returned to his seat.

"Knock knock......" The hallway turned to the sound of a quick run.

"Wow-" The classroom door opened.

"I'll go back to the classroom after going to the toilet before you do!" Sakura roared angrily.

"Nonsense, obviously I went back to the classroom after going to the toilet first!" Ino also roared angrily.

"Pilipili—" Lightning and sparks sparked between the two men who were at the doorway.

"......" classmates in the class.

“…… Who will persuade them......"

“…… Who would dare to go......"

……

"In the school building, you can't run too fast or make loud noises. ”

"Huh?" the two of them turned their heads at the same time, their faces immediately turned pale, and they immediately bowed, "Hokage-sama." ”

"If you don't know, go back to Year 1 and start all over again. Yu said expressionlessly.

"I'm so sorry!" the two said tremblingly.

"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, I'll teach them a good lesson. Iruka also came to the door of the classroom.

"It's a diploma. The rain put down the pocket in the water and left.

"Hokage-sama walks slowly. Iruka bowed again, then picked up the pocket containing her diploma.

"......" Sakura and Ino stood in place, waiting for a lecture.

"Alright, you two go back to your seats. Iruka said softly.

"Yes. The two returned to their seats.

Due to the rain just now, there was silence in the classroom.

Iruka walked to the podium and put the bag on the podium: "From today on, everyone is a ninja, and from now on, everything you do is related to yourself, and I don't want everyone here to lose their ninja status for various reasons." ”

Then he said with a smile: "Then now the graduation certificate will be issued first, and then the explanation of the group." If you read your name, please come to the podium to pick it up. ”

"The first one, Student A. ”

"Teacher, I have a name. "Student A.

“……”

"The last one, Naruto Uzumaki. ”

"Yes. Naruto happily ran up to the podium.

“…… Naruto-kun has also graduated......" Hinata said in her heart, who was sitting in the back.

"From today onwards, everyone is a ninja on their own, but you are all novice shinobi, the real test is still to come, you will be in groups of three, under the guidance of a shinobi teacher. "Iruka.

"Iruka-sensei, there are 31 of us. "Student A.

"If you work in a group of three, one person will be left alone. "Student B.

"Don't worry, the school has its own arrangements" Iruka.

"Oh, if you're in a group of three, I wonder who will be in a group with Sasuke?" Ino said to Sakura in the front row.

"Who knows...... Sakura said to herself, "Of course it's me." ”

"So, in the first group, students A, B, and C. "Iruka.

"Teacher, we have names. Students A, B, and C protested.

“……”

"Next, it's the seventh group, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno ......"

"Great, with Sakura. Naruto was very excited.

"...... with Naruto" Sakura looked pained.

"I didn't expect you to be really lucky. Ino sarcastically mocked Sakura.

“…… And, Sasuke Uchiha. ”

"Hooray!" Sakura shouted from hell to heaven in an instant, raising her arms.

"Alas......" This time it was Naruto's turn to turn white.

"......" Ino looked like he couldn't remember, "Why is this ......happening?"

"Naruto is from another group......" Hinata.

“……”

"The student who didn't come wants to become a medical ninja, so he went to the hospital to study, so the grouping is complete, and your instructor will come to pick you up later. ”

1 hour passed......

2 hours passed......

3 hours passed......

4 hours passed......

A lifetime has passed......

"Goo~~~" came from the stomach.

"Ah~ I'm so hungry......" Sakura and Naruto lay on the table.

"Why is it that only the teacher of our seventh group hasn't arrived yet~ The other groups follow the teacher, and they don't know where to go~" Naruto said weakly.

"Who knows~" Sakura-chan.

Naruto immediately got up, picked up the blackboard, and stood on the chair, clinging to the door frame above, clamping it with the door.

"Hey, Naruto, what are you doing?" Sakura-chan.

"Who made him late!" Naruto laughed.

"Really, I don't care if something happens. Sakura said to herself, "Actually, I like this kind of thing." ”

"How could Shangnin fall into such a boring trap. Sasuke scoffed.

"That's it, Naruto is really stupid......" Sakura didn't finish speaking, and Kakashi arrived.

As soon as Kakashi opened the door, "Boom. The blackboard hit the head, hit the bull's-eye, and then fell to the ground, "Boom." ”

"Aha...... Fooled, fooled...... Aha......" Naruto laughed.

"I'm sorry, Sensei, I've stopped it, but Naruto doesn't listen to me......" Sakura said inwardly, "OK." ”

"......" At this moment, Sasuke's heart was broken.

Kakashi picked up the blackboard and said thoughtfully, "What should I say? My first impression of you is quite annoying. ”

（！————）

In the evening, Rain, Snow, and Sasuke eat together.

"Yes, your mentor is Kakashi's brother. "Light snow.

"Well, he's 4 hours late. Sasuke complained.

"That's normal, he'll be late a lot in the future. Rain said.

"But why don't you let my cousin teach me, but let me learn from someone else?" Sasuke asked.

"Working in groups of three is to exercise your sense of teamwork and teamwork ability, after all, the power of one person is limited. "Rain.

"But if you're as strong as your cousin, don't you need to cooperate?" Sasuke.

"No, I also need everyone's help when facing the God Slayer, teamwork is not only in combat, but also in many aspects such as assistance, intelligence, healing, etc. "Rain.

"And the three weaker people can defeat the stronger ones by cooperating with each other. "Light snow.

"If it weren't for Xiaoxue and Xia Yun, I wouldn't have been able to kill the sea devils. "Rain.

"That's right......" Sasuke.

"In a team, you will see your strengths and weaknesses more clearly, which will help you grow, and you can use it as a test to become stronger. "Rain.
