Naruto Uzumaki patted his freshly filled stomach and lay contentedly on the rooftop of the ninja school's teaching building.

This is a rare place for him to be quiet, and after leaving here, he will smile and strive to be recognized.

And here he can be low, he can be disappointed, he can be depressed, and he can even shed a few tears.

This afternoon is another three-body test by Teacher Iruka, and I don't know if I can pass it this time.

Naruto Uzumaki pulled down the goggles he used to cover his eyes when he was most upset, and no matter what the outcome of the afternoon was, he had to face it in a full state.

Let's get some sleep first.

"Hey! You haven't practiced at the end of the crane, and you're the only one who can't pass the exam in the afternoon. ”

Naruto Uzumaki, who was originally a little immersed in gray tones, instantly rose into the air and shouted loudly pointing at the rooftop.

"Stupid, Sasuke!

This is Uncle Ben's territory, who approved you to come up!

Still... Still...... Become what I am. ”

I saw another Naruto Uzumaki walk out from the rooftop, his hands in his pockets, his head slightly raised, and his eyes full of disdain.

"You're right, this is indeed Naruto Uzumaki's territory.

But isn't Naruto Uzumaki standing on this rooftop now? ”

The newcomer put his hands in his pockets and glanced sideways at Naruto Uzumaki, who was wearing goggles.

"If you're not convinced, change me?"

Nara Shikamaru, who was constantly clicking around the exit of the hallway, heard Naruto Uzumaki's shout from the rooftop.

He remembered in his mind that it was the 34th time that Sasuke had walked up to the rooftop to find Naruto.

He remembered that Sasuke, who had just entered the school, sometimes chose to return to the family at noon, and after that incident, he silently found a window corner to spend the whole noon alone.

And in the past six months, something has changed, I don't know why, although the relationship in the class is still bad, he always feels that these two people are getting closer and closer.

Nara Shikamaru thought of some rumors about the male ninjas in the village who were not close to women, and shook his spirit, could it be that the two of them ......

"Wangwang"

"Dead dog, stop me!"

Akamaru jumped up and snatched the snack from Dingji's hand.

The entire hallway echoed with the shouts of a man and a dog chasing.

Shikamaru leaned against the railing behind him and muttered inwardly,

A bunch of stupid people, annoyed to death.

"Ning Ci, which of these students do you think will be the representative next year?"

In the teacher's office, Iruka who was watching the playground was busy with the afternoon test asked.

Hinata Ningji, looking up at the golden autumn sky,

This is really a difficult question to answer.

"Next year, when they graduate, will mention spring, right? Teacher. ”

Umino Zang nodded, "Next year, there will be an all-alliance middle ninja exam together, and they will indeed graduate early to take over the low-level tasks left over from the exam." ”

"Teacher, who do you think will be the representative of them to pass on their experience to the next class?"

Hinata Ningji thought about it and came to recruit rebels.

"Uchiha Sasuke, his ability is comprehensive and outstanding, and I am most optimistic about him this time.

If nothing else, he should be the first in their group of students. ”

It's good that Umino doesn't mention it, but when he mentions Hinata Ningji, he wants to laugh a little.

From next year, when you meet Konoha's upper ninja, you can open five or five;

Seeing Konoha's middle ninja, you can abuse it casually;

But when you meet Konoha's shinobi, how fast you run, don't try to have a fight.

"What do you think?" Umino didn't want to let go of his protégé.

"Nara Shikamaru, smart people will always go more smoothly."

Umino Zang didn't refute either, "How are you going to prepare for the afternoon?" ”

"Accompany them in physical sparring or be a target who can fight back?"

"Target? The return of your Hyuga clan? ”

"Hmm."

Hinata Ninji suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Umino, can you ask a more sensitive question..."

"You say."

"When I was a student, I didn't think much of it.

Now that he has become a lower ninja, after performing some tasks, he found that the level of the middle ninja is high and low.

The taller ones are indeed stronger than those of us who are shinobi.

However, there are some shinobi like Iruka-sensei......

I've heard that the elimination rate of the middle ninja exam is not very high?

Why is there such a mixed situation? ”

Umino replied, "It's very simple, because a shinobi like Iruka didn't pass the shinobi exam. ”

Hinata Ningji frowned, "Are there any other ways to promote Zhongnin?" ”

"Yes,

When a person reaches a certain age in service, he can choose to be promoted to a middle ninja without taking an exam, which is generally nine years.

For the general lower ninja, the triennial middle ninja exam can generally be taken three times.

(I found out that it is once every three years, and if the frequency is short, I personally feel that the task of the big ninja village cannot be completed, and the small ninja village cannot afford to lose.) In the comics, there are only 150 people in one exam, which

It takes 2 months to do everything, and these ninjas don't do tasks during this time.

It's hard to do it twice a year)

Those who can't pass the test 3 times can of course choose to continue the test.

But it's impossible to become a leader in the middle of the team, and even if you pass the exam in the future, you can only become an ordinary middle ninja.

So these people are ninjas who have no talent, and from the village's point of view, they don't deserve to be invested too many resources.

Some people choose to come to the ninja school to teach.

Some people still want to fight, but they will choose to join the shadows, trying to find an upward direction through brutal fighting.

However, most people will leave scarred like me, accepting that they can't become a shinobi.

Only a very few people can find their way from suffering to forbearance, as Morino Biki did. ”

The master and apprentice were relatively silent in front of the window, and each seemed to remember some unpleasant experience.

"Start in the afternoon, it's all children."

"Got it."
