Kurayoshi's hunch was accurate.

At the Ninja School, several teachers in charge of this grade assessment came to the Hokage's office to report their work after counting the students' grades.

The achievements of the new generation are related to the future of Konoha, so in addition to the Hokage, Sarutobi Hichi, the elders of the Elder Group are here.

In the past, the group will also come.

But he's dead and can't make it.

"The first place in this grade assessment is Kurayoshi, the second place is Sasuke Uchiha, and the third place is ......" Iruka finished reading the top ten students, closed the score sheet, and smiled, "Although the others are behind in the rankings, they are also doing well, just because the top ten are better." ”

"Hmmm! Thank you, Iruka. Ape Fei bowed his head slightly with his pipe, and his old face smiled and seemed to be much younger.

"Everywhere, it's the result of everyone's joint efforts." Iruka didn't dare to take credit alone, "Moreover, the students themselves worked hard. ”

Xiao Chun on the side said with a cane: "Anyway, this class of freshmen was brought out by you, so don't be modest." ”

"Yes."

"So, is there anything else you want to report?" Ape Fei asked.

"It's gone."

"Wait a minute."

Mizuki stepped forward from behind, and everyone shifted their eyes to him.

Ape Fei stared at him, took a silent puff of cigarette, and asked, "It's Mizuki, do you have anything else?" ”

"It's about Kurayoshi and Sasuke."

Well?

Hearing Mizuki's words, Ape Fei couldn't help but stare at Mizuki's gaze, and his expression became serious.

"What's wrong with the two of them?"

"Although they are still third-year students, whether it is Kurayoshi or Sasuke, they all have the strength of official ninjas, and they have also learned ninjutsu such as Hao Fireball and Shadow Clone, so there is no point in continuing to stay in school."

"Are both of them geniuses?" Menyan asked.

"That's right."

Mizuki glanced at Menyan, nodded, and then continued to look at Sarutobi, "Three generations of Hokage-sama, it will only be a waste of talent for them to continue to stay in school, I want to apply for them to graduate with the graduates of this class." ”

"Mizuki-sensei!"

Iruka looked at him in surprise and retorted, "Although they are all excellent, they are still too young, and it is too ...... to graduate now."

"There are also a lot of people who graduated earlier than them." Mizuki interrupted Iruka's words, and said righteously: "Iruka-sensei, I'm also a teacher, and I like those children as much as you do, but you know their strength very well, as far as Kurayoshi is concerned, I'm not necessarily an opponent as a shinobi, and you're hurting them by spoiling them like this." ”

"I ......"

Iruka opened her mouth, but couldn't refute it.

In this assessment, Kurayoshi and Sasuke showed strength for all to see, and if they talk nonsense, they will insult the IQ of other teachers.

"There were students who did graduate very early." Ape Fei took a deep breath of his cigarette, his cloudy eyes staring at the table, flashing a complicated gaze.

After a while, he slowly exhaled his cigarette, and his gaze returned to the depth of the past, "But times are different, and now students don't need to graduate so early." ”

"However, even if the current Konoha is not in urgent need of combat power, for the development of those two children, they should be allowed to graduate early!" Koharu suggested on the sidelines.

Ape Fei was silent.

Koharu and Mizuki were right.

Stay in school, the school can't teach them anything.

Let them graduate and follow the teacher to carry out the task, but they can accumulate experience and grow.

Although there are risks in the process, the ninja profession is always risky.

However, Ape Fei also has his own considerations.

The first is Kurayoshi.

Others don't know, but he understands very well.

Kurayoshi's potential is amazing, with a monster-level chakra and can learn a lot of ninjutsu.

Even if you don't have mission experience, you can still grow for a long time.

The reason why the ninja school only teaches the basics is because the students are young, and their knowledge and chakra amount are not enough to learn high-level techniques.

Although Kurayoshi's current strength is powerful, it is far from the point where he can't grow if he immerses himself in studying, and Sarufei naturally wants him to grow as much as possible and then accumulate experience.

Because, in this way, the risk can be minimized.

And Sasuke ......

Sarufei had already booked for him to be teammates with Naruto.

Because Naruto is a human pillar force, there is a possibility that the nine-tails will go berserk in the future ninja path.

If there is a teammate with the Sharingan, it may be able to restrain Naruto's rampage.

Moreover, he made Sasuke and Naruto teammates, which was also a gesture of kindness to the Uchiha.

Although the Uchiha coup was over, Itachi also used other gods to make Uchiha let go of his pride and prejudice, and the other party didn't ask for anything from it.

But there is such a thing as a coup d'état......

It's only been two or three years, and it can't be treated as if nothing happened.

Differences between the two sides remain.

Although both sides want to try to eliminate, it is not so easy.

Sarufei hopes to ease the atmosphere between Sasuke and Naruto by making Sasuke and Naruto teammates, and if they can't completely let go, they can plant the seeds of reconciliation and pin their hopes on the next generation.

Become teammates and experience life and death together.

They will form a deep friendship that will spread step by step, allowing the Uchiha to integrate into Konoha once and for all.

In fact, similar plans have been implemented since the second generation.

That's the Uchiha Mirror.

Sarufei also inherited the plan of the second generation, making Obito and Kakashi teammates.

It's a pity that both Kagami and Obito died prematurely, and the other Uchiha struggled to get along with other teammates.

Even Uchiha Itachi is too mature and avant-garde to be incompatible with others.

Originally, Ape Fei was about to lose faith in this kind of plan.

But Naruto's appearance gave him back his confidence.

Because, even the hatred and disgust of the people of the village could not shake his kindness, the feeling of longing for recognition and hoping to make friends with people......

No matter how difficult Sasuke is, he will definitely be able to get along with Naruto.

Kurayoshi is the big tree that Sarufei values and can support Konoha's future, and Sasuke is Sarutobi's hope for Konoha to achieve true unity.

He didn't allow accidents to happen to either of them.

But—

"It's better to ask the person concerned and their parents for their opinions!" Menyan proposed, "If we forcibly keep them in school, it won't be good to cause a misunderstanding. ”

Hearing this, a sense of powerlessness rose in Ape Fei's heart.

Although he is the Hokage, Konoha is not a dictatorship, and he must have a reason to do this kind of thing.

Otherwise, in the long run, the Hokage will also lose the trust of the people below.

“…… Okay, just state the stakes with the parties first, and let them make the decision! Ape Fei hesitated for a long time and had to make a decision.

After the decision was made, someone immediately approached Sasuke and Kurayoshi.

Sasuke was very excited when he heard this, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he couldn't help but look at his father and mother.

"You can graduate from school at the age of eight?"

Hearing the news, Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto slept for a while, and then smiled, "It's an honor to graduate so early, and it's worthy of my son." ”

On the other side, training ground No. 39.

After hearing the news, Kurayoshi casually plucked his ears, "What? Graduating early? Nonono, how can I be a ninja when I'm so weak, let me study in a ninja school for a few more years! ”
