Time passes in a step-by-step practice.

In the blink of an eye, Naruto and Sasuke came to graduate!

However, for the two of them, it was just a matter of going through the process.

Naruto wears black slacks, a white shirt, and a black jacket with a gentle smile on his face.

Zuo Suke, who was walking side by side, was wearing a slim coat with a family emblem, and his expressionless face was full of coldness.

Some uncles and grandmothers who wanted to talk to Naruto were respectful of him, but this did not affect the amazing and friendly gazes of everyone on the road.

Naruto smiled politely at the glances of the people around him, but Sasuke didn't pay much attention.

"Naruto, why do you have to use the ontology to take the exam?" Zuosuke grimaced and asked, "You should be able to pass the exam with just a clone, right?"

"Don't tell me you still want to play childish games with those imps."

Naruto's Wind Escape Chakra Nature Change has reached its peak.

The two of them were surrounded by air currents, isolating sounds, but they were not afraid of passers-by hearing them.

And Zuo Zhu is now not far from completely mastering the immortal mode of Miaomu Mountain.

In addition to this, he also learned a lot from Kakashi about the change in the nature of the Raid Chakra.

For the past two years, both Naruto and Sasuke have been taught by Jiraiya, and from time to time Kakashira will be used as a free laborer.

Despite this, Jiraiya is still about to be squeezed dry by these two little monsters.

In order to prevent himself from losing his dignity as a teacher in the end, Jiraiya has recently begun to tell the two of them about his experience in the ninja world.

In Zuosuke's opinion, the entire Konoha Village is Naruto, a monster who is stronger than himself, and he is no longer the little ghost who only hugged Onisan's thighs and coquettish.

There's no need to waste time on a small shinobi exam.

For them, the only benefit of graduation is that they can leave the village.

But Naruto smiled noncommittally when he heard this.

"Zuosuke, you have recently become impetuous again, which will affect the cultivation of the immortal mode, this is not your temperament."

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Zuosuke exhaled deeply, and looked at the boy beside him with complicated eyes: "You already know your background, so why...... Never tell anyone else?"

Neither before nor after the Sarutobi revealed Narutobi's life, he didn't mention it.

Sasuke still remembers the day he first saw Naruto.

He was holding the man's hand at the time, and at a glance he saw Naruto in the crowd.

Obviously it was in a bustling neighborhood, but the little ghost hung his head, as if he was cut off from the whole world.

The smell of loneliness can be smelled even through the crowd.

If Naruto proves to everyone that his father is the fourth Hokage and that he is the son of a hero, that situation of being excluded will definitely change, right?

"If you have to give a reason......

Naruto's smile widened for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If no one has the will to know the truth, even if the truth is sown on the streets, it won't sprout."

Zuosuke's breathing stagnated slightly, and his expression became more and more complicated: "So you have been holding it in your heart...... Didn't even tell me about it?"

"It's rude to reveal your scars to others without permission."

Naruto glanced at him with a smirk, then turned his head before his face flushed, "Forcing others to know stories they don't need to know will only add to the confusion."

"Sharing your misfortunes will only make people think that you are showing off how much your baggage weighs."

As he spoke, Naruto propped his hands behind his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above him, "Maybe it can win a little sympathy, but it will definitely make people feel unpleasant."

"Proper expression of sorrow, proper expression of joy, proper acceptance of others, proper acceptance of parting, once said to me."

Zuo Zhu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Who?"

"Hmm." Naruto touched his chin and groaned for a moment, revealing a smile, "Half-brother, half-brother?"

………………

"Brother Ma."

Little Naruto sat at his desk, suddenly looked up at the man in front of him, and asked hesitantly, "If there is a child who is always alone and no one plays with him, is it because he is very bad and strange?"

"Of course not." The man put down the book in his hand and smiled slightly, "Naruto, you have to know that not being chosen by others is not a wrong or bad thing."

"People are all different, they have all kinds of complex desires, and they are not chosen because their desires cannot be fulfilled in you."

"Oh~"

Little Naruto nodded his head as if he didn't understand, and continued to ask with some confusion and uneasiness, "It's like I like the third generation of grandfather, because he is very kind and the only person who is willing to help me except for you."

"However, I want him to like me all the time, and I am afraid that one day he will hate me like everyone else, and if he is hated by those good people, isn't it my reason?"

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but be stunned, staring at the blue eyes full of ignorance.

After a moment, he laughed, reached out and rubbed Naruto's hair fiercely, and said in a gentle tone, "Little ghost, why do you think so?"

"Even if you are hated, it's because you didn't do what others expected you to, or you didn't live the way they wanted it to, not because of your own mistakes."

Naruto's golden hair was rubbed, and he pursed his lips and said, "But I'm still afraid of being hated, especially you and the third generation of grandfather, I like you very much."

"Really?" Looking at the dejected little Naruto, the man's hand movement paused, and he sighed slightly, "In order for other people to like themselves, even if they don't be themselves, is it okay to lose themselves?"

"What about ......," Naruto asked, after a moment's hesitation, cautiously, "What about the person who chooses to be himself?"

"It's going to be fun."

The man smiled and continued, "I'll never be kidnapped by anything

To live only what you want, to love those who deserve to love and truly love you, and even loneliness will become happy."

"It's a gift from fate to someone who is true to themselves and to others."

"Really?"

"Of course." The man nodded firmly, looking down at the blue eyes, "There will definitely be fewer and fewer true friends."

"Don't care about what you lose, what you really should care about is who is left around you, properly express sadness, properly express joy, properly accept others, properly accept parting."

………………

"Naruto?"

"Huh?" Naruto came back to his senses and looked at Sasuke beside him, "What's wrong?"

"You didn't listen to me!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Naruto's apology was insincere.

Zuosuke glared at him and repeated angrily, "I said, who do you think was the last member of our team?"

Don't even think about it, the two of them will definitely be assigned to the same team, and the leader of the team is probably either Kakashi Hachiki or Jiraiya.

But Zuo Zhu can't think of anyone else who deserves to be on their team?

"The last man?" Naruto didn't answer, but instead smiled with interest and asked, "Who do you think it will be?"

"I don't think they deserve it." Zuosuke sneered and said, "If I had to choose one, I would probably choose the eldest sister of the Hyuga clan...... Oh, Miss."

Although Hinata Hinata gave him a very strange feeling, the opponent's actual combat level was definitely not weaker than his own.

- The premise is that he does not use the immortal mode, but only relies on physical strength and physical skills.

If you want to talk about the only drawback of that big lady......

Sasuke touched his cheek, feeling a dull pain.

In last week's actual combat class, he fought against Hinata.

I wanted to try the "naked choke" that Naruto taught him.

As a result, just as she was about to get close, Hinata was like a different person.

A large sinus fanned straight over.

Then he fanned his shadow clone.

"I don't think it's going to be Hinata."

Naruto stretched out his index finger and shook it, causing Sasuke to be stunned for a moment.

And who else is there?

Naruto admired Sasuke's bewildered expression for a moment before he spoke, "The last member should be Sakura Haruno."

"Sakura Haruno? That nymphomaniac? She's a good match?" Zuosuke's brows furrowed fiercely, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

"Don't talk about people like that." Naruto spread his hands and said casually, "Sakura Haruno has some advantages, right?"

Zuosuke subconsciously asked, "What is the advantage?"

"Huh?" Naruto couldn't help but be stunned, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, "Hmm...... Not...... Hiss ......"

「……」

Naruto and Sasuke stared wide-eyed, and even Naruto was silent for a while.

Like, it's really useless.

Sakura Haruno has a good grasp of theoretical knowledge, but she can't even rank in the top three in their class.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata, the three of them have long occupied the top three positions in the same period.

Moreover, Haruno Sakura's actual combat level is even more crotch-pulling, and it barely reaches the level of lower forbearance that masters the three-body technique.

In addition, on weekdays, Sakura Haruno often watches Zuosuke's shadow clone become a nymphomaniac, which causes Zuosuke's senses to be very average for her.

To put it mildly, it is a vase of mediocre talent and qualifications.

To put it mildly, it is a waste full of reproductive instincts and does not seek progress.

"I kind of get it, she'...... Maybe it can be used as a disposable?"

Zuosuke raised his eyebrows and said, "Although that is not very normal, he still has some talent, if he is taught by Jiraiya or Kakashi, he may not be able to become an ordinary shinobi, anyway, it is not a loss for the village."

"Besides, you're a pillar force alone, and I'm an Uchiha, let's

Both are flammable and explosive."

"Even if the two of us get out of control and run away, that will die if he dies, and it doesn't matter to the village."

"......" Naruto's eyes twitched, "Is it so ruthless?"

Zuosuke shrugged his shoulders and said unconcernedly, "Otherwise? You can't expect her to catch up with us, can you?"

Civilian ninjas want to catch up with the two of them?

The two couldn't help but glance at each other and smiled in unison.

What kind of illusion does this have to be to dare to have such a dream?

"But I'm going to correct you, the shinobi who led the team shouldn't be Jiraiya-sensei or Kakashi-sensei."

Speaking of this, Naruto paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Kakashi-sensei had an accident while on a mission, and he is still in a coma at Konoha Hospital, and I only visited him yesterday."

「…… Kakashi is unconscious again?" Zuosuke's eyes widened again, "Who else would it be, we can't find an ordinary shinobi to lead our team, right?"

"Well, I'll know when I'm in class."

"Tsk, halfway through talking, I won't have a wife in the future."

「…… It's useless to learn less."

"You care about me!"

"I heard that you recently met a little brother surnamed Ape Fei?"

「…… What little brother, that's a piece of kraft candy, oh no, it's three, I have a headache just thinking about it!"

Under the reflection of the sun, the two blending shadows gradually drifted apart, stretching longer and longer on the ground.

………………

"Jingle bells!

」

The two of them almost stepped on the bell to get to the class.

At the same time, everyone's eyes in the classroom were attracted, and their eyes lit up when they saw Naruto and Sasuke.

Although the two of them were still months away from turning thirteen, as long as they stood there, their unusual temperament was undoubtedly revealed.

In the library that Miami Ma prepared for Naruto, there was a book called "One Hundred and Eight Fashionable Outfits".

And Sasuke gets along with Naruto day and night, and his aesthetic level has also been improved.

And because of the usual "eating" practice, Naruto and Sasuke are not low in height.

is close to 1.7 meters tall, and already has a bit of the demeanor of a mature teenager, which makes the little faces of those girls who are in the spring heart budding period blush slightly.

"Naruto!"

"Zuo Suke-kun!"

As soon as the two sat down, Ino and Sakura came over, not forgetting to glare at the little behind them.

"Good morning, Ino, Sakura."

Naruto greeted the two with a gentle smile, while Sasuke sat down without saying a word with a cold face.

But this cold ass obviously didn't stop Sakura's hot face from rubbing against it.

In the end, it was Naruto who slapped Sasuke's waist with his elbow while chatting with Ino, which made him angry and say a few words to Sakura.

"It would be great if I could team up with the two of you Naruto." Ino said with a big grin, a smile on his face.

Sakura on the side rolled her eyes and leaned closer to her ear to lower her voice: "Ino boar, go with Naruto, don't go with me and go left!"

Seeing that the two were going toe-to-toe there, Zuosuke looked indifferent, and Naruto smiled mildly and said, "It's naturally good to be assigned to a team, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it, and the relationship between us won't change because of these."

Hearing Naruto say this, the smile on Ino's face was even worse, and his heart was much more steady.

It was certainly a good thing to be able to be placed in a class with Naruto.

If not, it doesn't matter.

After getting along all these years, the bond between them has been very deep, and there is no longer a need for the ninja team to continue to maintain each other's bonds.

The students in the classroom were also a little noisy, as if they were taking this opportunity to vent something.

But when Yin Luka and Mizuki came in with Konoha forehead guards, everyone's discussion gradually stopped.

Instead, then

It's a tense atmosphere.

"Kids, be quiet." Mizuki first glanced at Naruto Sasuke, who was sitting together, before looking at everyone with a gentle smile.

His gaze swept over each of his classmates, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and nervousness.

Not surprisingly, the content of the assessment has not changed much, and it is still the three-body technique that has been mastered long ago.

Under the organization of Yin Luka and Mizuki, all students are assessed in order.

Waiting in the hallway with the other students, Naruto was calm inside.

The difficulty of the lower forbearance assessment is far less than the homework left to him by the upper hemp.

The scope of learning is extremely broad.

From history and humanities, to mathematics, to philosophy, social system, economics and finance, ninjutsu illusion principles......

If you stack up the books he has read, they are taller than the nine lamas who are getting thicker and thicker,

Lower forbearance, middle forbearance, upper forbearance, and even "shadow" have never been his destination.

According to the knowledge that Brother Mian Ma gave him, he already had a deep understanding of the world.

Naruto saw a new world and longed for it.

In order to rebuild that world, he needs more power.

- Destruction will bring new life.

"Naruto Uzumaki." At this moment, Yinruka's voice interrupted Naruto's thoughts.

Ino walked out of the classroom, poked his head out and waved his arm at Naruto, "Daddy!"

Naruto smiled back and immediately stepped into the classroom.

In the classroom, a row of Konoha forehead guards were neatly arranged on the tables, and the examiners were Yin Ruka and Mizuki.

"Let's get started." Yin Luka bowed slightly.

Naruto's smile remained unchanged, and his hands quickly sealed.

Wei, Ji, Yin.

"Clone."

Peng!

As the white smoke exploded and dissipated, an identical clone appeared at Naruto's side.

"Perfect!"

Yin Ruka nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the forehead guard and handed it to Naruto, a relieved smile on his face, "Congratulations on becoming a ninja, Naruto."

"Thank you, Mr. Yinluka."

Looking at that sincere face, Naruto also smiled and thanked him.

Then take the forehead guard and tie it around your arm.

Finally, he nodded slightly to Mizuki behind Yin Luka and left the classroom.

Watching Naruto leave, the corners of Yin Ruka's mouth couldn't help but hook.

But he didn't see the gloom that flashed in Mizuki's eyes behind him.

When the assessment of all students is over, it also means that they have officially become shinobi.

All the passing students were excitedly talking in the classroom.

For these children, it is one step closer to their dreams.

But they don't know that this also means that they are about to step into a more cruel world.

Yin Luka's gaze swept over every immature face, as if he wanted to remember everyone's appearance, and he was proud and reluctant in his heart.

"Congratulations to everyone, you successfully passed the exam, now you are all Konoha shinobi, next I will announce the team list, and your team leader will take you away."

The students below immediately talked about it.

"Huh? Did you just announce it after the exam?"

"It's finally time to be grouped, I want to be on a team with Zuo Zhujun!"

"Naruto should be on the same team as Sasuke, I don't know who the last person will be." Ino and Sakura discussed expectantly.

But soon a basin of cold water was poured on it.

"Get some sleep, you have everything in your dreams."

Shikamaru lazily lay on the table and said weakly, "The pigs, deer butterflies will definitely be divided into a group."

"Pig Deer Butterfly", Konoha's ace combination.

In battle, the Nara clan, who have a shadow mimicry and have a high IQ, are generally responsible for tactical development and core control, and the Yamanaka clan, who are good at perception and mind control, are responsible for perceiving targets

and the minds that connect the three of them, and finally the Akido clan with powerful destructive power finally attacks.

The three of Ino have grown up together since childhood, and the tacit understanding is excellent, so they will be 100% divided together.

"Damn! I forgot about it!" Ino suddenly turned gray and white.

Shikamaru opened the dead fish and complained, "Troublesome woman."

"Kacha Kacha." Ding Ji stuffed the potato chips into his mouth, took out another potato chip, and reluctantly handed it to Ino, "Ino, I invite you to eat potato chips."

Sure enough, Yin Luka on the podium quickly read the names of the three people.

"Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Akido Choji."

「…… Alas." Ino hung his head and sighed.

"Hinata Hinata, Shino the Oil Girl, Inuzuka Ya."

With the report of the list, some people are happy and some are worried.

Sakura nervously clutched her sleeves, looking forward to her grouping.

The next moment, Yin Ruka's voice made Sakura fall into shock.

"Sakura Haruno, Sakura Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki."

Sakura froze in place, and it took a long time for Sakura to stand up and cheer.

"Ahhh

With a cheering face, she rushed over and hugged Zuo Suke's arm, shouting, "Zuo Zhujun, we will be teammates from now on, please give me a lot of advice."

Suddenly, it triggered the expressions of envy, jealousy and hatred on the faces of the other girls around them.

Zuosuke held his forehead with a little headache, and he could already imagine the days ahead.

Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, it is still a little difficult to accept at this moment.

Thinking of this, Sasuke looked at Naruto, looking for some recognition, only to find that the latter was smiling at Sakura Haruno.

"Welcome, Sakura-chan, Sasuke is looking forward to having you with us."

Zuosuke's face suddenly turned blue.
