Kakashi frowned slightly, and didn't think much about it, lately, his father seemed to be very tired, maybe he went to bed early.

With that in mind, he opened the door with the key and walked in.

It was pitch black in the middle of the room.

After turning the light on, Kakashi looked at the empty room and frowned slightly, not knowing why he always felt that something was wrong over there, and his heart was filled with unease.

"Daddy—"

Kakashi looked at the room where there was no sound at all and frowned, "Did you sleep?" ”

Thinking so, he thought about Shigeshuo's room and walked over, and then, slowly opened the door: "This is-"

Looking at the figure in front of him, Kakashi's eyes widened, and his legs fell to his knees: "Dad..."

In front of him, in the middle of the slightly darkened room, a man was hanging from a rope.

People are... His father, Shigesho Hagi.

On the side, where Kakashi didn't notice, there was a note with a few words written on it.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi"

Finished refining the chakra.

Long Aotian, who took a bath and was lying on the bed, was slightly stunned.

When you mention it, do you need to cultivate?

I seem to be very sharp with all the images... At this time, I am only in the sealing period, and it would be good to break the seal when I really need war. It's easy to do in a second.

But... Hawkers, the way everyone else is cultivating, even if you don't practice yourself, you don't have anything to do, and that's pretty fun.

Moreover, the body seems to be the most flexible for others.

For example, when the Ninja Lodge's other people's seal rate is still one second, two seconds.

It's easy for him to make three or four seals a second, and it's not a matter of five or six seals a second seriously.

It's not hard to fight with others.

In terms of cultivation, too, Chakra's improvement rate is the fastest, although I don't know if it's more or less than a ninja on the right track, but in short, compared to the first person in the class in front of him, Kakashi Hachiki is a lot more.

Wake up without any grievances.

After eating Ganzhi's breakfast, with a happy mood, he walked towards the black house with the boy who was constantly snorting with Kohei Chuangzhen.

Looking at the ninja in front of them, Long Aotian and Kohei Chuangzhen were slightly surprised.

"What? It's such a noisy appearance today. Long Aotian looked at the door of the house and said with a little doubt, there seem to be a lot of people at the door of the house today.

Kohei Sojin looked at it, ran forward and pulled a person over.

"Hey-Chuangzhen, what are you pulling me for!" Obito looked at Kohei Soma and said dissatisfiedly that he wanted to break away, but it was a pity that he was a member of the Uchiha clan, but his skill was counted down in the middle of the class, and he couldn't compare to Sokuma's strength at all.

"No, no, it's nothing, it's just that there are a lot of people at the door of the house, so I just ask you what happened here." Kohei Soma said with a smile.

Long Aotian also came over: "It looks like you came very early, you should know, right?" ”

"Cut, what else can there be, it's not Kakashi's guy yet, he applied to graduate from the Ninja Lodge, and the three generations also agreed, and it seems that the review is being held at this time, and these people are all coming to see the enthusiasm."

"Applying for graduation?" Long Aotian raised his eyebrows slightly: "So fast? ”

"Who knows what that guy is thinking, listening to those ninjas, it seems that applying for early graduation is much more difficult than graduating on the right track at the ninja house!"

"Do you know how to graduate early?" Kohei Chuangzhen hurriedly asked.

"What? Do you want to graduate early too? Uchiha Obito's eyes widened.

"No, I'm just a little curious."

"Okay, let's talk about it if you know."

"Yes, yes." Uchiha Obito sighed and said, "I heard that if you want to graduate, you need to go through three rounds of review. The first round, the written test, seems to be to answer various questions such as a few passwords. I heard that it's more difficult than the middle ninja exam. ”

"Is it a shinobi exam?" Kohei Soma nodded.

"That's right, and the score will be held immediately after the fight, and those who don't qualify for the back don't have to take the test."

"The second round seems to be a competition, but it is a little check in the middle of the mission process as a ninja. In the third round, it's war, and I've heard that you can confront each other for three minutes in the hands of active duty ninjas. ”

"Really... It sounds like a lot of work. Long Aotian nodded.

"That's right... Especially in the first two rounds..."The corners of Kohei Chuangzhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he abandoned the idea of graduating early, due to... Not to mention that the first grade hadn't talked about it at this time, and even if he did, he didn't expect to listen to it.

It's much easier to graduate relatively or on the right track.,I heard that when the time comes, it's just a random review of one or two ninjutsu.,It's all in the middle of the three-body technique.。

Compatible with open-book exams.

It's about to review the mastery of the sword and kunai in the hand.,In short, it's easy.。

"Ah, especially the first two rounds." Uchiha Obito most cautiously agreed with Kohei Soma's statement, ignoring the fact that he might be able to hold out in the hands of the middle ninja for a few seconds.

"It's like you're going to make it through the third round." Long Aotian said disdainfully.

"When—of course! If it were time for war, I would have turned on the Sharingan, well, that's right! That's it.,When the time comes, no matter what the middle ninja is, it's not an opponent.,Hahaha! ”

"Huh."

"Hey—isn't it?"

"Really?"

Just as Obito was about to say something, there was a commotion in the distance.

A few people approached and got a sense of what was going on.

That's... Kakashi Hachiki has undergone an early graduation audit!

......

The three generations of Hokage looked at this second round of review in front of him, and Kakashi took a deep puff of his cigarette, and then spit it out heavily, his face becoming more and more bitter, and then sighed slightly.

"Sure enough... Is that so? ”

Just a few days ago, the famous Konoha White Fang Banner Mu Shigeshuo died... Commit suicide.

Kakashi immediately applied for early graduation after planning Shigeshuo's funeral.

Of course, the third generation didn't want Kakashi to graduate at this time, and deliberately increased the difficulty of the audit. The first round of password review was raised from the lower ninja level to the middle ninja level. In the third round of the competition, from five minutes of confrontation in the hands of the lower ninja, it caused three minutes of middle ninja.

Outcome... Kakashi went through the first round of audits smoothly.

With a full score of 100 points, he can have eight most, crossing the passing line.

And the third round... Nakashino was taken by Kakashi... Victorious.

At a young age, he defeated a kind of forbearance.

And then the second round...

One of the questions in the review was "When a companion is in danger, choose to carry out the mission or choose to rescue the companion." ”

Kakashita... It is written above that you abandon your companions and continue to achieve the task.

No way.

Even he, as Hokage, couldn't stop Kakashi's early graduation, even if he knew that it didn't do Kakashi any good, it would only make him sink deeper and deeper.

But... Konoha White Fang, who chose his companion, died. And if he didn't let Kakashi, who had written the opposite mystery, not graduate, he wouldn't be able to tell everyone.

And I won't use the first and third rounds to talk about things, because of Kakashi's experience, and even over-experienced this review.

"Let's put Kakashi in the Watergate first... Hopefully, Watergate can transform him. ”

His trust in the wave of wind and water gate or short and long often, coupled with the affinity of water gate... This is already the most suitable candidate in his heart.

......

"Yo-Kakashi, that's sharp, you. I didn't expect to go through the graduation audit at this time. But- don't underestimate me, it won't be long before I graduate early, huh! Uchiha Obito looked at Kakashi who came out and ran over and said.

Kaka didn't say anything, just watched him and Long Aotian and Kohei Chuangzhen who were on the side turn around and left, and didn't say anything.

"Hey—Kakashi!"

Obito looked at Kakashi's back dissatisfied: "This guy, what are you dragging!" Damn it, is it that great to go through the audit? ”

Kakashi still didn't say anything.

A man returned to his empty home.

"No... Companions. "If you continue to stay in the ninja hut at this time, the atmosphere... Is it really time for me to abandon my companions? I don't know... So simply, when the engagement is not deep, let these go.

None of that matters anymore.

Companions too, so is skill.

His original dream was to become a ninja who surpassed his father and become a hero of Konoha, but at this time...

He didn't know anything.

I don't know what I need to do in the future.

But, one thing is for sure... There is no one around me in the coming day, and it is a road that is destined to be lonely.

......

Time passed slowly.

The days of enduring the hut are undoubtedly easy and easy.

Day by day is the study in the ninja house.,Although there is a lot of course content.,But,Because of the ease of the ninja house audit.,Most of the protégés didn't listen to it thoroughly.。

I just chose the part where I compared the porridge.

For example, you can see exactly how you become stronger in ninjutsu.

Long Aotian chose this aspect as well, related to those rigid knowledge, or all kinds of ninjutsu doubling the fun.

In three years, in addition to the kunai and shuriken, the three-body technique has also been mastered.

Others, although he didn't learn any powerful ninjutsu, his own physical skills had no opponents in the middle of the same grade, and even Akai, who had the strongest physical skills, was better than him in this regard. (Not counting the Eight Gates Dunjia, the protagonist won't, and Akai won't use it in the middle of an ordinary competition even if he expects it at this time).

And then - everybody graduated.

The last one is a certain mass-produced genius Uchiha family member who came out of Obito... That guy's expression is not the best one after another.

"But, it's finally over." Long Aotian let out a long sigh.

Three years...

It was his only three years.

Three years ago, those sealed images don't belong to him...

He hadn't broken the seal for a long time, and he hadn't done it for more than two years, so he even thought that it would be good to keep the seals like this... But, he could feel it, it wouldn't.

The seal is being lightened little by little at a weak rate.

Even if he doesn't untie it, it will gradually decrease, and one day in the next day, it will be when the seal will disappear completely.

When the time comes, the images of his past few years will merge into the huge images of the body and disappear.

"Long Aotian, are you up?" The voice of Joichiro Kohei came from the room.

"Ah, get up!"

"Hurry up, then." Joichiro's voice said, "Today is your graduation day, right?" There should be something very important to reveal, hurry up and have breakfast, don't be late. ”

"I know, here it is."

Long Aotian said that he had changed his clothes, picked up the kunai on the side, thought about it, scratched it the back of his hand, noticed a faint white mark, and did not feel a clear feeling of sadness.

His skin... I don't know when it first seems to have become more and more ... Well, it's getting more and more grounded.

He put the kunai away and rubbed the back of his hand, so that he could not see the mark on it.

"It's slow enough." Xingping Chuangzhen looked at Long Aotian and said dissatisfied.

"If you don't want to wait for yourself to go first, who made you wait?"

"Tsk, sure enough, you guy is so annoying at all times."

"Okay, okay, don't scold, today is an important day, right? Remember to come back early in the evening, so we can celebrate. ”

"Celebrate... Why don't you have a competition at night? Kohei Soma looked at his father and said, "Stop the game!" ”

"Okay, then, the referee's words will be up to Long Aotian."

"Yes." Long Aotian nodded: "Then, I'll reveal it at this time, Xingping Chuangzhen's six hundred and thirty-first consecutive defeats." ”

"No, no, no, I'm going to win this time! The next record will be 630 consecutive defeats, followed by one victory! That's right! Chuangzhen slapped the table and shouted dissatisfiedly.

......

"Okay, so let's talk about your assignment at this point." The teacher of the ninja black house looked at Long Aotian and the others in front of him and said.

"First shift..."

In groups of three, the team of one class was quickly divided.

"Class seven, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin."

"Class 8..."

"Wait! There are only two people in our class? Obito asked in surprise.

"Ah, this, there is one person under the leading teacher of your class, so if you add the two of you, it will be three."

"There's one?"

Obito pouted, what does this mean?

"Okay, then continue, Class 8, Xingping Chuangzhen, Xingping Long Aotian."

"Class Nine..."

"We're two people here." Kohei Soma looked at the teacher in the class and sighed.

"Then, that means that just like Lin and them, there is also a person from the original team leader..."

The teacher, who was about to continue the division in the future, was stunned for a moment, glanced out the window and said, "Okay, the eighth class, your leading teacher is inside." ”

"It's so fast..."Long Aotian said with a slight surprise.

......

"Are you-Kakashi!?" Obito looked at the person in front of him with wide eyes and pointed at him and said, "Didn't you graduate a long time ago?" How is it here!? ”

"This sentence is what I want to say, it's already this time, why do I have to team up with you!" Kaka said dissatisfiedly,... That's all good, but why do you have to team up with these guys?

In this case, when the time comes...

"Okay, okay, don't say that." Bo Fengshuimen, the leader of the three of them, looked at the three of them and showed a gentle smile and said, "For a long time after that, my friends were all companions. Although, it looks like my friends all know each other, but maybe make a self-recommendation, right? What do you think? ”

......

"Then, I'm your arranger." The man who gave people the most gloomy feeling looked at the three people in front of him and showed a cold smile and said, "My name is Orochimaru, so the three of you can recommend yourself." ”

"My name is Gohwasaki Red Bean, something of porridge..."

"Just say the name, next." Orochimaru interrupted Azuki Dou's words.

"My name is Kohei Ryuotten. Just call me Long Aotian. "I looked at the red bean dragon Aotian who was on the side and said, this is called red bean, it should be the person who was with this called Orochimaru before.

"My name is Kohei Soma, and the porridge thing is..."

"I said it, I don't need to say that much."

"The porridge thing is a block.,The nasty thing is about a loss.,Please advise.。 Kohei Soma smiled and said.

"Hehe..."Orochimaru smiled coldly: "Self-righteous little ghost, it's really annoying." ”

"So, doesn't Orochimaru recommend himself?" Kohei Soma looked at Orochimaru and said.

"No, forget it, that's it. Let's hold an audit. ”

"Audit? What? Long Aotian said with a little doubt.

"Those who graduate from the Ninja House,Arrange for the ninja to hold an audit.,Those who have experienced the audit will officially become ninjas.,Those who fail to audit... Let's go back to the Ninja House! ”

"Isn't it?" The royal hand washing red bean was stunned for a moment.

"Hey, didn't you come here with this Orochimaru? You don't know? Long Aotian frowned.

"I know, what's the audit, hurry up."

Orochimaru scoffed and looked at Kohei Soma, this guy... It gives people the impression that they are overbearing. But... People who use their arms like this as a car, maybe...

"Well, it's easy to review." Orochimaru took two steps back, about five or six meters away from the three of them, and then casually drew a line in front of him: "Come over, you will pass." ”

"Huh? What? Is it that easy? "Kohei Soma just wanted to move forward and realize that he couldn't move clearly...

No, it's not just that the movement is unclear, there is a sense of unknown that fills his whole body, and that is—horror.

The huge killing intent overwhelmed him, let alone walking to the side of the Great Snake Pill, he couldn't even move it!

"Is that okay?"

Orochimaru looked at the woman in front of him who completely ignored his killing intent, and it was like she didn't feel his killing intent at all, and narrowed her snake-like eyes slightly: "So the meaning..."

"Huh? What? ”

Long Aotian looked at Orochimaru, a little puzzled, and then looked back at it again, Kohei Chuangzhen still had a smile on his face, but it was a stiff smile, staying in place, his face was sweaty, as if he had just been washed.

A small pile of water was formed on the ground.

On the other side... Ah, passed out.

That's right, the man called the Royal Hand Red Bean has passed out.

"Don't you feel it?"

Orochimaru returned most of the killing intent on Kohei Chuangzhen, and then almost focused all of his killing intent on Long Aotian.

"Huh? What do you feel? ”

Looking at Long Aotian, who didn't care at all, as if he really didn't feel anything at all, Orochimaru smiled... It seems that the short and long often smiled happily.

"So the meaning..."

What is he laughing at?

Long Aotian couldn't understand what the situation was at this time.

By the way, how did the one called the red bean pass out? Or did you fall asleep? Too sleepy?

What are you really doing...

Motionless, there were so many night sweats on his body.

Although he felt as if there was a different smell around him, it was as if he knew it best, and he said...

It's too weak.

He had this sentence in his heart.

But he didn't say it, he knew that it should have been a feeling before, and then, his body subconsciously made such a check...

"It seems that you can't feel my killing intent..."

Orochimaru looked at Long Aotian and said, he didn't notice that he was paying attention to it, and Kohei Chuangzhen's footsteps on the side moved. The horror in his eyes faded away—and in its place—the burning flames!

In fact, the three generations of Hokage, who were watching this scene not far away, smiled slightly, he really hoped that Kohei Sokuma would appear like this.

Since ninja is a high-risk profession, he may die at some point, and he doesn't expect Kohei Sokuma to do the same, if he can, he will be like Kohei Joichiro. That willingly blocked, all Konoha, no, the whole world is only the two of them will do. It would be a pity if something happened.

So, he chose to let Orochimaru be their arranging teacher, and since he didn't expect him to arrange anything in the first place, he just retreated and returned.

But—

It looks different at this time.

Both of the Kohei family have shown their own extraordinary qualities.

One, as if ignoring Orochimaru's killing intent, seems to be not terrifying.

The other, although he was overwhelmed by horror for the time being, quickly regrouped his arrogance, and he could see the invisible flames burning on his body here.

There is no doubt that it is the inheritance of the Will of Fire.

"At this time, I can only say sorry." Miyome sighed and said, Konoha will have one less best chef in the future, but there will be one more strong ninja.

......

"Killing intent? Ah, are you talking about this thing that I feel at this point? ”

Long Aotian looked at Orochimaru and said.

"That's right."

"Ahh How do you say it..."Long Aotian thought for a while and said, "It's too weak, I don't feel anything." ”

Boom ———

Orochimaru's pupils were wide open, and his eyes widened as if he were staring at a snake staring at its prey. And at that moment—a voice came from beside him—"I did it!" ”

Turning around, Orochimaru saw Kohei Soma, whose clothes were wet with sweat and seemed to have just been fished out of the water.

"These two imps."

Orochimaru looked at the two people in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up a smile, and the arc became bigger and bigger: "Yes, two little ghosts, you passed." ”

Orochimaru, he can be said to be one of the most famous ninjas in Konoha.

But...

It's just that he's famous, and if you want to talk about his prestige in Konoha, it can be said to be a match.

There's no way, the cold smell around him, although it looks good, but it always gives people a scary feeling, there are scary ninjutsu, just on the face, no one will porridge him.

There are many people who respect him, but many more who fear him.

If the other consistent-level ninjas had hundreds or thousands of supporters among Konoha people, Orochimaru would have a few at most, dozens of people.

However, the supporters of others, as soon as something goes wrong with the people they support, they may immediately change the object of support, and there are very few people who can help at this time, but the supporters of Orochimaru... Most of them will come forward during the link and sacrifice their lives for Orochimaru. That's probably how it feels.

As a result, although Orochimaru's fame among Konoha is very high, his reputation is very low.

"As a result, the most unbearable thing is this little ghost..."

Orochimaru looked at the red bean that fell to the ground and said with a little dissatisfaction.

Although, the request given to him by the third generation is to try to let Kohei Sokuma stop and stay in the ninja house for another two years... Well, the meaning is to retreat and return, and when Orochimaru graduates in the coming year, he will come again, and then give him a retreat and return...

After a few back and forth... That's it.

But, I didn't expect him to have such perseverance, so forget it. Maybe it's going to be funny after that.

And the royal hand washing red beans... At this time, it's actually a first-year student.,It's about the first year to graduate.,Ninja Ryori is the second year when the school starts again.。

But...

Orochimaru felt it on his body... There is no possibility of winning the experiment one after another, and the original plan was to bring him over when he officially graduated, but he also had to bring someone to fish him over in advance.

"Alright, little ghosts," Orochimaru said in his hoarse voice, "I have a lot of business, so you can return first today, and the next day I will take you to meet the Hokage and officially receive the mission." ”

"Yes, Orochimaru-sensei." Kohei Sojin smiled and said, although his body was covered in sweat and he looked like he was close to prostration, he was still the most happy.

Orochimaru smiled, slowly stood up, walked to Long Aotian's side, and said in a cold tone like a snake, "I'm sorry for you... It's a lot of fun. ”

The cold smell and then Long Aotian shivered slightly, and when he was back, the Great Snake Pill had already disappeared.

"Strange guy."

Long Aotian muttered slightly, Fang just gave him the feeling of being targeted by a snake, but... There is no sense of fear.

Because, it's not the prey that is caught by the snake, but... A monster lurking in the depths of this prey.

Bang –

At this moment, Kohei Soma, who was on the side, fell to the ground, his skull and the earth seamlessly, and he felt a little pain when he saw it.

“... You okay? Red Bean squatted down and looked at Kohei Chuangzhen, who was panting, and asked.

"Ah, it's okay... Best... It's a good match! ”

This kid is broken...

Long Aotian looked at Xingping Chuangzhen and said secretly.

......

Pulling weeds, catching cats, buying things, scrapping away....

A whole bunch of D-class missions came crashing into the face.

Only on the first day, Orochimaru himself came once and took them to meet the Hokage, and after that... I don't know what I'm doing, so at most I'll send a shadow clone. Say two words, and then the "bang-" sound disappears.

Say okay and have fun with them?

It's all coaxing!

"Okay, then today's task is to help March take care of the children for a day, I have something to do. I'll see you later. ”
