In the office, Shiraishi got the student exam transcript of this year's graduation exam submitted by the ninja school.

Underneath the transcript is a stack of documents detailing each student's profile.

At the top of the report card, Shiraishi saw the name of his son Aya in the first column of the first row.

After the unanimous approval of the examiners, the lottery that beats several examiners will result in an S grade.

The graduation exam results of the Oni no Kuni Ninja School are divided into five grades: S, A, B, C, and D.

Grade D is a failure and you need to return to school to repeat it.

Grade C is moderate, with the lowest graduation standard.

B is an upper-middle class student, and belongs to the relatively good students.

A grades are the so-called top students, and the average number of students who get A evaluations is only two or three per year.

Most of the rest of the students can only get a B or C evaluation.

As for the S grade, it is the best evaluation that surpasses the A grade.

There is not necessarily a single student who receives such an evaluation in a few years.

Every time a student receives an S evaluation, it is a key training goal of the military.

Shiraishi was not surprised at all that his son Aya's outstanding performance in this graduation exam and his evaluation of S.

On top of that, Cai is only twelve years old this year.

If this is the kind of performance after three years, it may only be rated A, not S.

Performance evaluation is considered from a comprehensive level, and age is also an important part of it.

Maintaining this advantage over peers, becoming a middle ninja after a year, and three years later, passing the upper ninja assessment must not be a difficult task.

Shiraishi knows that when Aya was very young, he often received elite tutoring from Ayane, and Ruri occasionally intervened to cultivate Aya's combat ability.

In addition to the lack of real experience in life and death, all aspects of the lottery are no longer shortcomings.

Whether it's ninjutsu or physical arts, or ninja operation, Cai can master it as you like.

Although he is his youngest son, he is far superior to his eldest son Asuka in terms of ninja talent.

Then, Shiraishi began to sweep downward, and after a dozen names, he saw the name of the bird.

The final evaluation of the assessment is B.

The upper middle grade is excellent, and it does not reach the excellent rank of A.

Shiraishi was not too surprised by Asuka's achievement.

If the time for research is squeezed out and all is focused on cultivation, it will not be difficult for Asuka to achieve an evaluation of A.

Compared with the two of Yiji and Cai, it is indeed much inferior.

It's just that Asuka can still get a B evaluation on the basis of maintaining his research work, and Shiraishi is somewhat relieved.

This time, I was able to get a B evaluation in the graduation exam of the ninja school, which proves that Asuka is not perfunctory in his cultivation, but is training himself very seriously.

At first, he thought that Asuka was evaluated by C, but it was not unacceptable, after all, Asuka was not a pure ninja, and research was his job. Now he has become a shinobi, and it's only because he has just reached the age of graduation. The same is true for the Nakashinobi exam that will be taken later.

As for the future ninja assessment, Shiraishi didn't want to control anything, and let Asuka make his own decisions.

However, in terms of the current situation, the middle ninja exam in a few months is the first problem that Asuka students will face.

Soon, Shiraishi pulled out a piece of paper from the student's profile file, and there was a photo in the upper right corner of a girl with long red hair.

Whirlpool incense.

A member of the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Demons.

He has excellent chakra control and is good at sealing, as well as both perception and healing.

He is the same age as Cai, twelve years old.

In this graduation test, he received the same B rating as Asuka.

However, I think that the other party is only twelve years old now, and he belongs to the 'special student' who graduated early. The evaluation can't be compared with the lottery, but at this age, the other party's performance is already quite good.

It is also the third person in Shiraishi's team that wants to be stuffed into Asuka and Sai.

Although it is better to choose from the students who evaluate A, considering the balance of strength of the rest of the team, Uzumaki Xiang, who is good at logistics assistance, can effectively make up for the shortcomings of the perception and medical field of the team where Asuka and Aya are located, and is undoubtedly the best candidate for the third person on the team.

Next, Shiraishi carefully observed the information of the other students and nodded slightly.

Overall, the quality of this year's graduates has risen slightly compared to the previous year.

Although the increase is very weak, as long as this upward trend is maintained, it is the best news for the country of ghosts.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Shiraishi put down the documents in his hand, looked at the location of the door panel and said, "Come in." ”

As the words fell, a middle-aged man of about forty years old walked in from outside.

He wears a ninja forehead guard engraved with the mark of an aster flower on his forehead, and on his black ninja suit, he is embroidered with the logo of a family fan that is unique to the Uchiha clan.

There is no doubt that this middle-aged man is from the Uchiha clan.

When he walked in, his steps were steady, his eyes sparkling, and his momentum was extraordinary.

Uchiha Yan is the name of this middle-aged Uchiha ninja.

The other party was one of the Uchiha clansmen who followed Ruri in the early days and left Konoha together.

used to serve in the Konoha garrison.,At that time,,It's already a close subordinate of Liuli.。

After following to the country of ghosts, he also made great efforts for the construction of the military.

He is currently serving as the captain of the patrol force on the border of the Oni Country, and he is also one of the few elite ninjas in the Uchiha clan of the Oni Country who has opened the Three Hook Jade Writing Wheel Eyes. can write the wheel eye with three hooks, simulating the primary stage of Susa Nenghu, and the strength can be described as quite good.

"Lord Shiraishi, are there any new arrangements for calling me over?"

Uchiha Yan stood up and asked.

Shiraishi didn't respond immediately, and pulled out the information files of Asuka, Aya and Uzumaki Kari, and handed them to Uchiha Yan.

Uchiha Yan took it, and when he saw that this was the information of a ninja school graduate, and one of them was the son of their patriarch, he probably knew what was going on.

Let him serve as the mentor of these three people.

Although the military of the country of ghosts is different from the ninja village organization, many of the ninja village systems are still continued in the military.

For example, the rating of lower ninja, middle ninja, and upper ninja.

Newly graduated students need to be led by high-level ninjas, accumulate mission experience, and broaden their future career path in the military.

"Patience, these three people are entrusted to you to be in charge, there should be no problem, right?"

"No problem, no problem, but I thought it would be the patriarch who personally served as the guide of the young master Asuka, but I didn't expect this kind of task to fall on my head."

The Uchiha smiled and said what he thought was the guess.

"Because I am so familiar, I don't know how to teach. Moreover, what these three lack is not the ability to be a ninja, but the experience of being a real ninja. It's something they can't be taught in school, they can only learn through real battles. If there is nothing wrong, then this matter is left to you, and let them get used to the life of a ninja as soon as possible. I think you've heard a little about this year's Shinobi exam, and it's going to change. ”

No matter how the ninja changes, the essential thing will not change much.

From this point of view, the teaching model of the traditional Five Great Ninja Villages is not completely without merit.

What the Ghost Country needs to do is to make certain improvements based on the traditional teaching model, so as to better fit the military system of the Ghost Country.

"Yes, don't worry about it."

Uchiha Yan felt the weight of this task and nodded very seriously.

Konoha.

In the early morning in the woods, the grass is covered with dewdrops, and the spring sun shines through the cracks in the leaves.

Standing in a deserted clearing, silence enveloped it.

After taking a breath of fresh forest air, Sasuke felt the chakra in his body quickly condense towards his palm.

He sank his heart slightly, there was no seal, he was already quite handy with the application of the thunder attribute chakra, and he had completed the cultivation of the basic stage, relying only on the remaining instinctive consciousness in his body, Sasuke saw that his palm was slowly gathering a dazzling electric current, spreading in his palm.

This electric current appeared in the palm of his hand, and Sasuke began to diverge his consciousness, converging and condensing the current, so that the current was concentrated and compressed in the palm of his hand.

However, when he tried to do so, the electricity gathered in his palm suddenly shook restlessly, and the electric light dispersed, melted into the air, and disappeared without a trace.

The moment the electricity dissipated, Sasuke felt a tingling sensation in his palm, as if he had been stabbed by some kind of thorn, and his brow furrowed in pain.

Seeing this, Sasuke shook his stinging palm and exhaled softly.

"Sure enough...... Still doesn't work? ”

Needless to say, his attempt was still a failure.

Although Kakashi showed him the correct steps, the A-level ninjutsu of Thunder Escape Chidori was extremely demanding in terms of the requirements for the change in the nature of the thunder attribute chakra.

It's unbelievable that Kakashi created such a high-level ninjutsu on his own at a younger age than him.

Just learning and mastering this kind of thunder ninjutsu is no longer an ordinary difficulty.

Develop and create by yourself, and the difficulty will rise a few levels.

The more he came into contact with Kakashi, the more Sasuke understood his own weakness and the strength and unfathomability of Uchiha Itachi.

Kakashi has stated more than once that Itachi is a powerful ninja who is not inferior to him at all.

When Itachi was ten years old, without any teammates, he passed the middle ninja exam alone, joined the dark department in the same year, and at the age of twelve, he was already a captain of the dark part and became a legend of the dark part of Konoha .

The captain of the dark part, Sasuke knows very well what the status of a ninja at the level of the captain of the sub-division is equivalent to in the dark department.

Before Kakashi became the head of the Dark Department, he was also one of the four detachment leaders of the Dark Department, the same level as Itachi.

can only be used as the absolute elite of the ninja to describe the ninja of this level.

Not to mention, the other party also opened the kaleidoscope writing wheel.

Rao is Sasuke's undiscouraged heart, and there is also a little unwillingness and loss in his heart.

Compared to Kakashi and Itachi of the same age, his current achievements are not worth mentioning.

Even the Uchiha clan's proud Sharingan, he still has no signs of awakening.

Could it be that as a ninja of the Uchiha clan, he doesn't have the talent to open the Sharingan?

Sasuke suppressed the irritability and depression in his heart as much as possible.

In the past few years, he has followed Kakashi to practice, and what he has gained the most is not to see all kinds of powerful ninjutsu, but to exercise his state of mind, and to achieve the realm of 'unity with nature and man'.

Although he didn't fully meet the requirements of Kakashi's 'unity of heaven and man', at least when his mind was chaotic, he didn't lose control of his emotions.

Sasuke can still do this.

The alarm clock placed under the tree suddenly 'ticked' and Sasuke turned his head to see that the hour hand had dropped to eight o'clock.

"Is it already this time? Forget it, that's all for the morning's cultivation, let's go to today's graduation briefing first. ”

Three full days have passed since the end of the graduation exam, and today is the day of the graduation briefing.

At the graduation briefing, the students will be divided into groups and assigned a mentor ninja to lead the novice shinobi on tasks and gain experience.

For the graduation briefing that will be held around nine o'clock, Sasuke has a lot of expectations in his heart.

Unknown teammates, unknown mentors, no matter which one they are, will affect his evaluation during the lower ninja.

However, Sasuke is not worried about the school side at all, and will arrange him with very poor teammates.

Based on the results he showed in school, the school should match him with excellent teammates, and the assigned mentor ninja will definitely be the elite of the ninja in the village. Sasuke is very sure of this.

The better his teammates are, the stronger the strength of the mentoring upper ninja, which means that he can improve his strength as soon as possible, get out of the lower ninja class as quickly as possible, and take a stride towards the middle ninja class.

After becoming a middle ninja, it is also a good choice to enter the dark side training. Sasuke began to think about his future path to promotion.

The dark part is the institution that hone ninjas the most, and every ninja who joins it is an elite.

Kakashi is affiliated with this organization, and before Itachi defected, he was also a member of the Dark Division, which shows how tight and powerful this department is.

However, if you want to enter the dark department, it is estimated that Kakashi's arrangement will be indispensable at that time.

The other party is the head of the dark department, so there should be some way for him to enter the dark department.

After that, you can ask how to enter the shadows.

In a hurry, Sasuke completely planned his promotion path within Konoha for the next two or three years.

Next, it's up to you to see who your teammates and mentors are in the same group as you.

Let's hope you don't let yourself down.

◎

After entering the class, Sasuke came to his place and sat down, ignoring the still nymphomaniac gaze of the girls in the class, holding his chin with his hands crossed, maintaining a contemplative posture, ignoring the gaze of the girls.

The indifferent temperament makes the degree of of the girls more and more obvious.

They didn't have any immunity to Sasuke's cold stance at all.

The boys were jealous and unwilling, but thinking of the gap between themselves and Sasuke, they had to snort coldly, not daring to go over and anger Sasuke.

Although they are all students who have passed the graduation exam and have officially become shinobi, it does not mean that there is no gap between them.

In the practice class, Sasuke defeated his opponents with a crisp and clean posture every time, proving his strong strength as the chief student.

Whether it's unhappy or maliciously finding fault, it can't shake Sasuke's throne as the number one in the school.

This is the surplus of genius.

In short, Sasuke is an absolute unprovoked object for them.

It's boring. The performance of the girls and boys is fully visible from the corner of his eyes, and Sasuke makes such an evaluation in his heart.

Whether it's the girls' behavior towards his nymphomaniacs, or the obvious jealousy of the boys, it's a very obvious thing.

There was no other thought than boredom him.

I wish these guys could stop.

Suddenly, I saw an unexpected back at the door of the class.

- Naruto Uzumaki.

And he was the exact opposite of the first crane tail of the grade.

What's going on, isn't this crane tail a failed exam? Why did you come here wearing a forehead guard? Sasuke couldn't help frowning when he saw Naruto with an excited smile on his face, wearing a Konoha ninja forehead guard on his forehead, and wondered in his heart.

It stands to reason that the other party is a failed product in the exam, and it is impossible to come to this graduation information meeting, but should consider repeating the grade.

However, the other party not only came, but also wore an official Konoha ninja forehead guard, which was somewhat surprising.

Could it be that the forehead guard was stolen?

Just as Sasuke was puzzled, someone had already passed by Naruto's side and expressed surprise at his arrival:

"Huh? Naruto, why are you here, only graduates are qualified to come here? ”

"It's Shikamaru, of course I'm here because I graduated, didn't you see something on my forehead?"

Naruto ostentatiously held the ninja forehead guard on his forehead, and it was shiny and dazzling, as if he was afraid that people would not see this bright forehead guard.

Since Mizuki's defection was only known to a small number of upper and middle ninjas, it had not yet spread widely in the village, so the news that Naruto passed the graduation exam in the form of a 'make-up exam' did not spread.

"Really?"

As one of Naruto's bad friends, Shikamaru naturally hoped that Naruto would pass his graduation exams successfully. Although I don't know how Naruto used to get this forehead guard, I think it was with the permission of the Hokage.

Naruto doesn't make up lies about this kind of thing.

"Sakura-chan, do you see it, I've become a ninja too!"

Naruto walked past Shikamaru and came to a girl with long cherry blossom hair and said happily.

"What does it have to do with me that you became a ninja? Don't bother me. ”

Sakura rolled her eyes at Naruto, and from time to time her eyes glanced at Sasuke who was not far away.

Damn, that guy! Naruto noticed Sakura's unusual movements, and immediately swept his gaze towards Sasuke with a vicious gaze, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn Sasuke throughout.

What's so good about this little white face?

No matter how you look at it, he's a little more handsome.

He even defeated the middle ninja.

This kind of guy, if you use the technique to defeat Mizuki, you can solve it in three or two clicks.

Why should the girl you like look at this kind of man differently?

While Naruto was jealous of Sasuke, he couldn't help but become depressed.

"Hey, Naruto, don't go over and provoke Sasuke, you're no match for him."

Shikamaru walked over and said helplessly.

"What, even Shikamaru said that."

"I'm just telling the truth, you don't like to listen to me, I can't help it."

"I know, let him go today, and let him look good in the future."

Naruto was indignant.

Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't let this stupid fool come.

"Really, I didn't expect anyone to like even your wide forehead. But speaking of which, you two are a good match. Sakura-chan, why don't you accept Naruto's confession. ”

Ino, who was sitting in the back row, grinned.

"Well boar, your mouth is still as open as ever."

Although it is a happy thing to be liked, because she is affirmed, but when she thinks that the person who likes her is Naruto, Sakura's heart becomes unwavering.

No way, in her eyes, Naruto has always been a problem student with a lack of roots in his head.

Not only does she always make trouble in class and disturb her study, but she also performs some obscene ninjutsu that can't be seen directly with her eyes in the transformation course, causing many girls to have a bad impression of Naruto. Sakura is also one of them.

"I mean really, Sasuke wouldn't like someone like you anyway."

Ino grinned.

"Hmph, who knows until the end."

Sakura was also apprehensive.

Whether he can be assigned to the same team as Sasuke depends on this time.

Ino snorted too.

I also have the same apprehension as Sakura.

"Well, Sakura-chan, can I sit next to you?"

Naruto asked expectantly.

"It's your freedom to sit where you want, just don't bother me."

Sakura said helplessly.

Naruto immediately sat down next to Sakura.

About ten minutes passed like this, and finally it was nine o'clock, and the graduation information session officially began.

Iruka, as the head teacher, also arrived on time.

Due to the injuries left by the battle with Mizuki, he has been lying in the hospital for a day and has recovered.

"First of all, congratulations, from today onwards, you are ninjas in your own right, and you are no longer students of the ninja school."

The excitement and anticipation of the students were all seen by Iruka, and their hearts were filled with emotion.

In the past, like the students here, he had boundless enthusiasm and expectations for the future.

Therefore, he as a teacher can fully understand the excitement of the students.

"Without further ado, I'm sure you've all heard a little bit about the grouping you're going to do today. I'm going to start assigning the members of each group so you know who your future teammates are. ”

As he spoke, Iruka coughed, took out a form, and began to read the name according to it.

"First shift, ...... Inoue"

Iruka began to read the form.

The students who were called were disappointed, happy, and had different expressions.

Soon, Iruka glanced at Naruto's location and said, "Class Seven, Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha, you guys are in groups of three." ”

Iruka is very satisfied with this arrangement.

Sakura is a medical ninja and Sasuke is the head of the grade, so under the influence of such an environment, Naruto must have grown greatly.

"Cut, you want to team up with this nasty guy"

Being in the same group as Sakura was a dream thing, but being in the same group as Sasuke made Naruto feel uncomfortable, and he glared at Sasuke angrily.

Naruto was unhappy, and Sasuke wasn't much better.

A nymphomaniac, a crane tail, this kind of team...... It's a combination that Sasuke couldn't have imagined before.

However, in this case, Sasuke can only hope that the next guidance to Shangnin can bring him a little bit of a turnaround.
