"Huh? Face towel ...... Oh no, it's Brother Jian Meicheng, why don't you speak? Were you shocked by Uncle Ben's high fighting spirit? ”

"Huh? Be...... Yes......"

"Hahaha....... Is that really the case? Uncle Ben's personality charm is still as great as ever! ”

After a few heartless laughs, Naruto jumped off the swing with vigor.

His gaze once again locked on the Konoha forehead guard on Qimu Shuohui's head, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Anyway, I'm still very happy to meet you today!" Brother Jian Meicheng! Because not only did you let me touch your Konoha forehead protector, but you ...... And you're the only one other than Iruka-sensei who thinks I'll graduate from the ninja school......."

Naruto casually glanced at the celebratory crowd on the other side, and suddenly there was a hint of loss in his eyes.

"Except for Iruka-sensei, everyone around me thinks I'm a hopeless 'crane tail' and can't be a ninja at all......."

"Don't bother with other people's opinions, Naruto!"

"Huh? Brother Jian Meicheng? ”

Hearing this, Naruto suddenly raised his head and met the trusting gaze of Hachiki Shuohui.

"As long as you believe in yourself, it doesn't matter if the whole world gives up on you, because your heart is strong enough to support you to become the person you want to be!"

"Strong enough to sustain me as the person I want to be......? Although I don't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, I can hear that Brother Jian Meicheng is encouraging me! Hey....... I want to be a ninja right now! I also believe that I can do it myself! Thank you, Brother Jian Meicheng! ”

Naruto rubbed his nose stupidly, and was about to say something more, when suddenly, a cold voice came from behind the two of them.

"Naruto, who is this ......?"

"Mizuki-sensei?"

Seeing the white-haired man in the middle ninja vest walking towards him, Naruto waved his hand excitedly and said proudly, "Mizuki-sensei, this is the eldest brother I just met, his name is Jian Misumi, and he is already a shinobi!" ”

"Jian Micheng?"

Curiously looking at Sakuki Hagi, who was standing next to Naruto, Mizuki held the turban on his head with his hand, and said lukewarmly to him, "Hello, I'm Naruto's teacher, Shinobu Mizuki!" Although you are a friend of Naruto, according to the rules of the ninja school, except for the parents of the graduates, you can't enter the ninja school today, so ...... Thank you for your understanding! ”

"Uh...... Is that so? It's me who was abrupt, sorry! ”

Hachiki Sakuki pretended to touch the back of his head innocently and said with a smile: "I also just passed by and saw Naruto alone at the swing, so come in and take a look, since it violates the rules of the ninja school...... I won't embarrass you either! I'm leaving! ”

"Huh? Brother Jian Meicheng, are you leaving? I'd like to invite you to Ichiraku ramen! ”

"Another day, Naruto! I'll come to you another day! Anyway, you haven't graduated yet! You'll always be in the ninja school, so it's easy for me to find you! ”

"Okay......"

Naruto sat down on the swing with a sad face, then suddenly stood up again and asked at the back of Kiki Shuohui, "Brother Ken Misumi!" So where should I go if I want to find you? I don't know where you live! ”

"Next time! Next time I come to the ninja school to find you, please come to my house as a guest! It just so happens that I still have a mission, so I have to leave first! Sorry Naruto! ”

"Does Brother Jian Meicheng still have a task....... Sure enough, people who become ninjas are different! It's a busy day, so fulfilling......"

It wasn't until Sakuki Hachiki's back completely disappeared from view that Naruto reluctantly withdrew his gaze and sat back on the swing with a dejected expression.

He scratched his head, and at the corner of his eye, he found that Mizuki, the teacher who was not close to him on weekdays, was still standing beside him and had not left.

"Huh? Mizuki-sensei, why do you keep standing in front of me stupidly? Is there something wrong with you? ”

"Silly...... Silly standing in front of you? ”

Mizuki was about to speak, but was choked by Naruto's sudden words.

He smiled awkwardly, but an imperceptible hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Naruto, I saw that you were in a bad mood and wanted to come over to comfort and comfort you!"

"Is that so...... Thank you Mizuki-sensei! But....... I don't need comfort, I'll be fine with myself in a while! ”

"How's that going to work? I'm your teacher! How can I rest assured that you are so depressed now! ”

Mizuki pretended to be affectionate and sat down next to Naruto and put his hand on his shoulder, "Naruto, can you tell me why you are so lost?" ”

"Mizuki-sensei, can't you see this?"

As he spoke, Naruto kept his hands on his cheeks and his eyes fixed on the cheering crowd not far away.

"My classmates have all passed the graduation test, and now they have all obtained the Konoha forehead guard and become a real ninja, and I am the only one...... I haven't ....... this 'crane tail' yet I used to brag in front of them every day that I wanted to be a great ninja......."

"It turned out to be because of this....... I'm sorry Naruto! As teachers, we can only be strict with you about the test, so ......"

"Don't apologize to me, Mizuki-sensei! Not being able to pass the graduation test is my own problem...... It's because I'm so useless, I haven't even mastered the most basic 'three-body technique'......."

"Hey! Don't say that, Naruto! It's true that you haven't graduated now, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to graduate in the future! I....... Oh yes! Naruto, I'll ask you something quietly! ”

"What's the matter? Mizuki-sensei? ”

Seeing that Naruto was aroused by himself, Mizuki quietly approached Naruto, put his head to his ear and said, "Naruto, do you want to graduate this time?" ”

"Huh? Mizuki-sensei, is there any way you can let me graduate this time? Are you telling the truth? ”

"Don't shout! Naruto! Be quiet! ”

Pressing down Naruto, who was suddenly excited, Mizuki then whispered in his ear, "Next, I can tell you a big secret, it is about whether you can graduate or not, do you want to hear it?" ”

"Yes!"

"Good! But you have to promise me that you will keep it a secret, or you will not be able to finish your business! ”

"Mizuki-sensei, don't worry! I'm sure it's a secret! ”

Seeing Naruto patting his chest and agreeing happily, Mizuki immediately turned his head and looked around.

After making sure that there was no eavesdropping around, he put his arm around Naruto's shoulder and whispered, "At Hokage-sama, there is a scroll that records many powerful ninjutsu, called 'Book of Seals', as long as you take that scroll out of Hokage-sama, and then practice one of the above ninjutsu casually, you will graduate!" ”

"Is it okay to practice one of the ninjutsu casually? It's that simple? ”

"Simple? Naruto, what are you thinking! The ninjutsu on the 'Book of Seals' is extremely profound! If you really cultivate one of them, Hokage-sama will definitely recognize you and allow you to graduate from the ninja school! ”

"Are you true? Mizuki-sensei? ”

"Then can I still lie to you? I'm your teacher! ”

"Hmm...... That's right, Mizuki-sensei, you don't have to lie to me, so ......."

Naruto touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly nodded his head firmly a few times, "Then I definitely can't let go of this opportunity to graduate!" I'm going to be the Hokage! How can you repeat a grade in a ninja school! ”
