In the 41st year of Konoha and the new year has slowly stepped into the middle of January, the hustle and bustle of Konoha has not been silent.

Just like wanting to continue the excitement of the festival that has just passed, the Konoha ninja is accustomed to but has a high interest in the middle ninja assessment will also start again.

For some ninjas who have become middle ninjas, achieving their goals does not mean that they will lose interest in the middle ninja assessment, but it is better to say that they are particularly concerned. And such a situation is even more obvious for those who have just become a middle ninja.

~~~~~~

Although it is not a comparison or competition, most people have subconsciously limited the conditions of [advantages and disadvantages].

To measure whether a ninja is a genius, the first and most intuitive view is whether he graduated early and at what age he became a shinobi.

In other words, most people assume that the difference between a mediocre person and a genius is time.

The same result is divided by the length of time.

Logically, this is a fair approach.

Therefore, it's not a winter night boasting, a guy like him, although he only graduated a year early, can really be said to be an ordinary genius.

Of course, an ordinary genius like him, there is no shortage of Konoha every year.

No one is looking for a particular person who is not in the crowd.

It's really impressive, and it's only one who can be called a genius [really] only like Kakashi Hachiki, a guy who graduated early before the age of six and became a shinobi, he must be a genius among geniuses.

In fact.

If that's all, Mitarai can also admit a little tsundere.

However, when this genius ninja, who had just celebrated his sixth birthday, suddenly decided to participate in the middle ninja assessment.

All Mitarai could feel was anger.

"So."

The mouth of the stuffy gourd was a little hoarse, which was also the first thing he said on a winter night after meeting today.

"A guy like him isn't a genius! He's just a bigoted, stupid little ghost! ”

"If he can also pass the Zhongnin assessment, there must be shady!"

Mitarai, who is mentally deranged, was finally ignored, and the speed of his speech was extremely fast, and he released the stuffiness in his chest very quickly.

"Really?"

"yes, there must have been a mistake there."

Because Hinata Yuki is not there, only he and Mitarai stay where they are, and in order to prevent him from talking to himself alone and attracting attention, Winter Night will force himself to talk to him, which turns out to be a wrong choice.

The winter night is not very interested, and it is obviously full of reluctant and casual words, but it is unilaterally advancing the topic through Mitarai.

"The three generations of adults would actually agree to such a little ghost to participate in the middle ninja assessment? There has never been such a precedent before. ”

"Didn't the other Konoha high-level officials raise objections?"

Mitarai's tangled point of view is indeed the most conspicuous age, indeed, in the history of Konoha, the ninjas who generally participated in the middle ninja assessment, they were at least ten years old.

"Maybe the third generation has some other considerations, after all, it's him."

"Other considerations, what kind of reason is this, just kidding."

Facing the winter night is obviously a perfunctory reason, but Mitarai shows excessive mood swings.

"Just because there's no precedent doesn't mean it's wrong."

"I think the three-generation approach is the right one."

The female voice who suddenly participated expressed her opinion firmly.

"Do you remember the conditions for participating in the Zhongnin assessment?"

"What do you want to say?"

Squinted at Mitarai, whose expression changed complicated, whether the other party's gloomy face was because he saw himself appearing, or because he understood the reality that was about to be refuted, and she obviously didn't think it was the former who was narcissistic.

"The first condition is that you have graduated from the ninja school, that is, you have become a ninja who has become a ninja."

"And the second condition, which is twenty D-class missions and one C-class mission."

One after another, the straight fingers approached Mitarai's eye sockets with a little toughness.

"As long as the two conditions are completed, anyone has the right to participate in the Zhongnin assessment."

"Anyone!"

The emphatic rhetoric and sharp gaze are more like trying to make him recognize reality.

"Anyone?"

"So, do you have to take even a six-year-old kid's joke seriously?"

"The three generations really can't tell the difference between jokes and reality."

Facing the approaching body, you can vaguely smell the fragrance in the air, and the most intuitive gaze is uncontrollably deflected.

"When trying to convince others."

"At least keep your eyes on each other."

Hinata Xue is used to looking into the other party's eyes when she speaks, and her approach is like carving a word into the depths of the other party's mind.

So in order to complete the process, the way she chose was:

"It's like this!"

The bold outstretched right hand captured the smooth chin so easily, and the upward index finger provoked the power of rotation.

"Are you kidding?"

"Do you still have such thoughts? You're an even more naïve guy than I thought! ”

The words were uttered with a sigh, but the smile on his face remained unchanged from beginning to end.

"So!"

"Is it jealousy?"

She asked, and the warm and moist white vapor spewed onto her face at close range, a slight itch, as long as the small but firm hand completely imprisoned the possibility of escaping.

"You don't like Kakashi Hachiki so much?"

"Hate him?"

Hinata didn't take the initiative to explain her brief question clearly, just put on an unfathomable smile, so she would make such a friendly supplement to help, leaving only the winter night where the sense of presence had been thin since just now.

"Why do you think that?"

He couldn't see the winter night, and in fact, he didn't need to look away, because the person he was asking about was the girl in front of him.

"Generally, there will be a special resistance to a person's situation, if it is not idle and boring, it is that there is some special emotion for the other party."

"So, why do you care so much about his participation in the Zhongnin assessment?"

Hinata gradually let go of the cast iron's fingers, and she didn't continue to feel the other party's desire to try to dodge.

"If the average person knew about such a thing, they might laugh at his stupidity, and then they would soon stop care."

"Generally speaking, I don't really care about it, or even pestering like you."

Perverse!

Those who are familiar with it will feel from Mitarai's body is a sense of abnormality.

"If it's according to normal thinking."

"He is only sent to death when he participates in the Zhongnin assessment, and the chance of passing is not great at all, but, just in case."

"One in 10,000 chance, if he passes, then he becomes a middle ninja at the age of six."

"When the time comes, you will be very unwilling and jealous, because it took you a longer time to become a middle ninja, so you think that you are not as good as him at the same age, and even, what is the situation between yourself who is older than him and him now?"

Hinata Yuki's words weren't as bright as the smile on her face.

"You know me well."

"So, I'm just jealous!"

He laughed the same, not fakely, but too real to be excessive.
