CHAPTER XXII

According to the rules, Sakura also needed to fight a waste wood shinobi and then defeat him, so that she could pass the graduation assessment and become a shinobi.

However, because Sakura's situation is more special, this process is exempted, and Sakura directly passes the assessment.

The reason for this is because Sakura is already ranked first in the whole grade, and it would be too if she didn't even qualify for the first place.

What's more, Sakura's actual combat also has a record, she beat Sasuke many times, which is obvious to everyone, even the genius Uchiha Sasuke can't beat Sakura, so how can Sakura not be able to beat a mediocre shinobi? No one will believe it, even if they say it.

So for this reason, Sakura's graduation assessment was exempted from the process and passed directly, and Sakura only had to come over and fill out the information form.

And when Xiao Li was in that session, Xiao Li hadn't learned the Eight Gates Dunjia at that time, and there was no one to guide him to cultivate, and Xiao Li still turned to practice the body art halfway, and he had been practicing the three-body technique hard before, wasting a period of time, so although he practiced very hard, and his strength was also very good among the students, it was obviously impossible to beat the genius Hinata Ningci of the Hyuga clan who had practiced soft boxing since he was a child.

After all, although Hinata Ningji is only a separate family in the Hyuga family, the Hyuga family is a separate family except for the patriarch and the patriarch's heir, so there is no situation to suppress the disciples of the family, and although Hinata Ningji is a separate family, his father is the younger brother of the patriarch of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Hinata, and he sacrificed for the Hyuga family, so Hinata Hinata has always been full of guilt for Hinata, plus Hinata Ningji is still a super genius, Hinata Hinata's brain will be pumped before he is left alone, Therefore, Hinata Ningji has always been taught by the masters of the Hyuga clan since he was a child, and his strength is naturally much stronger than Xiao Li, so Xiao Li can only be relegated to second place.

And Kai was much stronger than Xiao Li at that time, with his father Maite Dai, the founder of the Eight Gate Dunjia, personally taught, coupled with Kai's outstanding talent in physical arts, coupled with his own crazy cultivation, he was able to catch up with the super genius Kakashi from the penultimate in the class (only stronger than Obito) in just a few years, of course, this is also related to Kakashi's long-term decadence and long-term drag by the writing wheel.

It's not uncommon for something like this to happen in Konoha and the later Naruto wasn't promoted to Hokage directly from the lower shinobi?

The Konoha Elders also didn't waste time following the usual process to promote Naruto step by step to the middle ninja, then to the upper ninja, and finally to the Hokage, which was also too troublesome.

However, although Sakura passed the assessment directly, Sakura's order in the order of the assessment was lower after all, so when Sakura passed, there were not many students left in the class, and Naruto and Sasuke had also completed the assessment, Sasuke naturally passed without a doubt, and his doppelganger technique was released perfectly, and he was praised by the assessment teacher Iruka.

And Naruto naturally lived up to expectations...... failed, although his daily cultivation was much more than the original Naruto, but because of the influence of the Nine-Tails Chakra, it was still the same as before, only one doppelganger was separated, and he was lying on the ground without any image, looking very weak.

As before, despite Mizuki's good words, Naruto failed the exam in the end because Iruka was the main examiner, and if nothing else, he had to go back to the ninja school to repeat it. (There's a bug here, Mizuki says that Naruto has failed twice, which means that Naruto has reread twice, so he should be two years older than the younger one in the same period, but in fact Naruto is a few months younger than Sasuke.) )

So after Sakura walked out of the classroom, she saw the gate of the ninja school, and basically the parents of all the students who graduated this year came, and they passed the graduation assessment with their respective children, and became an official shinobi.

And at this time, Sakura also saw that on the swing next to a big tree not far from the door, Naruto was sitting upright on the swing, holding the rope of the swing tightly with both hands, looking at the scene at the door in a daze.

At this moment, from the crowd at the door, a few whispers came.

"I heard that he was the only one who failed."

"Uh...... That kid ......"

"Humph! You deserve ......"

"If he becomes a ninja, it will be bad!"

"Who made him ......"

"Forget it...... Don't say it, in case he hears it......"

Several women were looking at Naruto while discussing with each other, and the gaze that looked at Naruto was full of disgust.

And they didn't realize that these words had already been heard by Naruto.

Naruto lowered his head in frustration, his face gloomy, and shielded his eyes with goggles.

And Sakura watched all this from behind, and there was also a feeling of congestion, although she had always known that Naruto was miserable, and she had seen this picture in her previous life, but that kind of static picture was obviously not as good as the feeling of being presented in front of her.

Sakura now only thinks that Naruto is really an adult who doesn't remember villains, and the villagers of Konoha treat him like this, they can repay their grievances with virtue, not to mention anything else, if Sakura suffers this kind of treatment, let alone save Konoha when Payne invades, and it would be merciful not to destroy it with Payne.

Sakura slowly walked over to Naruto's side and stood quietly.

Naruto heard footsteps and looked up to see that it was Sakura standing beside him.

Naruto first showed a little happy expression, but then, as if realizing something, his smile retracted and turned into a look of loss.

"Sakura-chan ......"

Naruto spoke softly, but stopped talking after calling Sakura's name, just looking at Sakura.

Sakura's eyes showed a hint of sympathy, but then she retracted, and she put her hand on Naruto's head, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Okay, Naruto, don't be discouraged, it doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam, there is a saying that failure is the mother of success, and I have always believed that you will definitely become a good ninja."

Naruto looked at Sakura in a daze, his cheeks twitching slightly, and a mist in his eyes.

Sakura chuckled and took a handkerchief out of her pocket and handed it to Naruto.

"Alright, Naruto, didn't you always say that you wanted to be the strongest Hokage surpass the other Hokage? It's humiliating to cry in front of girls. ”

Naruto didn't take the handkerchief, but directly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and then said loudly: "I, I didn't cry, I was just blinded by the sand just now."

Then after calming down for a few seconds, he slowly spoke, "Sakura-chan, thank you."

Sakura smiled, put her hand on Naruto's head and rubbed it.

"No thanks, I've always considered you a good friend."

Naruto looked at Sakura, opened his mouth slightly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a voice came from next to him.

"Naruto, come here, I have something to tell you."

Naruto turned around and found that it was Mizuki-sensei who was calling him, and he still had a good impression of the person who had said good things for him, so he gave up what he was going to say for the time being, and after talking to Sakura, he ran over to find Mizuki.

And Sakura watched Naruto run over and go with Mizuki, and didn't stop it, this matter was a very important metamorphosis for Naruto, and there was no danger, so Sakura didn't plan to make any changes.
