Chapter 11 Graduation (page 12)

Konoha 19 years.

It’s the graduation season again.

The war was raging and the front line was tight. The school relaxed the graduation time. If you wanted to, you could stay in the ninja school for one year before you graduated, and then there would be a special jounin to guide you.

Some impatient students have applied to graduate.

Located in the central area of ​​Konoha.

Hokage's office building, indoor.

A man with white hair and a solemn expression sat on the desk. He was Tobirama, the second-generation Hokage who dominated Konoha.

"Monkey, I will now relieve you of your current position."

The one called Monkey was a jounin of medium height and a bit dull appearance. His real name was Hiruzen Sarutobi. Because Yuan Fei had the metaphor of a monkey, he was affectionately called monkey by the second generation.

Hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that he had not done well enough, and said in a sincere tone: "Teacher, is it that I did not do well in that area?"

"No, it's just that now I have a more important task for you." The unsmiling Tobirama squeezed out a rare smile: "Go and become an instructor jounin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little puzzled.

Instructing Jonin is different from ordinary Jonin. The main job is to cultivate the young shoots of Konoha and become independent ninjas.

Although it was a very important job, at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that the job at hand was more important. But since it was the teacher's order, he didn't ask too many questions. The teacher must have his own considerations.

Holding down the doubts in his heart, he respectfully took the disciple's intelligence information handed to him and suddenly became enlightened.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the three pieces of disciple information in his hand and was lost in thought.

Orochimaru, the chief of this term, is outstanding in all aspects. At only six years old, he already possesses strength that is no less than that of a genin.

Jiraiya has obvious advantages and disadvantages. Ako is not very smart, but he has unparalleled physical ability and a huge amount of chakra.

Tsunade is a genius whose grades in school are second only to Orochimaru.

Being able to be specially told by Tobirama is a sign of outstanding ninja talent, but what really surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen was the identity of one of them.

Tsunade, whose full name is Senju Tsunade, is the granddaughter of the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, and Hashirama is the brother of the current Hokage Tobirama. He arranged for such a person with a special status to enter the team he leads. What was the meaning behind it? Sarutobi Hiruzen became excited when he thought about it, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

He is twenty-four years old this year and is no longer the reckless young man he used to be. He has become more mature and considerate as he grows older.

Tobirama-sensei plans to train himself as a successor.

"Inheritance of the Fire Flame, I will leave the seeds of Konoha to you."

In a few years, Tobirama will be 50 years old. Although he is still in his prime, he knows that this situation will not last long. He was born in the Warring States Period and fought all the way. The long years of fighting have already left a lot of disease in his body. , as he continues to grow older, these hidden dangers may break out at any time, and he will go to see his dead elder brother.

Tobirama has been very meticulous in doing things since he was a child. In order to deal with emergencies, it is natural to take precautions.

It just so happened that this graduating class was special. In addition to Tsunade's status, it was also because the qualifications of these three people were so excellent that it would be difficult for someone to surpass these three people at the same time in the next few years. That's why he decided to take over as Hokage. Their identities as humans allowed these three people to worship the monkey as their master at the same time, establishing a master-disciple relationship.

As long as they are properly trained, these three people will become the monkey's most effective assistants.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said excitedly: "Teacher Tobirama, I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"Do it well."

Tobirama stood up and patted Sarutobi Hiruzen on the shoulder with great responsibility.

At this moment, there was a banging sound outside the door, and someone knocked on the door.

"Come in."

After hearing the reply, the person who knocked on the door pushed open the door and a handsome black-haired man came in.

Uchiha Mirror.

Like Sarutobi Hiruzen, he was his favorite disciple.

"Teacher Tobirama, this is the information you requested to sort out last time."

Jing put the information on the table, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Tobirama nodded, acknowledging his work.

Looking at Jing's leaving figure, he sighed inwardly.

He comes from a famous family, has outstanding talents, is handsome in appearance, gentle and elegant, and what is even more rare is that he has a vision beyond the family and loves the village more than his family.

It would be difficult to find a better man than him in this village. If it weren't for Uchiha's surname and his eyes, to be honest, Kagami would be the most suitable successor to Hokage in Tobirama's mind.

In the past, when the eldest brother was still talking, Tobirama might really consider Uchiha Kagami as the successor to Hokage.

But with the death of his eldest brother, there is no absolute power to suppress Uchiha, and Uchiha Setsuna took the lead in stirring up trouble some time ago, almost causing turmoil. Tobirama will never be able to include Uchiha as the successor to Hokage.

In the classroom, Aokiji expressed his sincere blessings to the three classmates who graduated at the age of six: "Congratulations. At such a young age, you can contribute to the construction of Konoha before going online. I really envy you."

Why did these words sound so harsh? Tsunade frowned and said: "With your strength, you can actually graduate early."

Am I stupid, rushing to reincarnate?

The steady Qingzhi shook his head: "You know me, I don't aspire to be a ninja. If I stay in school for a few more years, I will do some business to support myself."

"Humph."

Tsunade was angry that she didn't fight, and left angrily. Although she had such a good talent, she was so lazy all day long.

Watching her leave, Qingzhi sighed helplessly.

In the eyes of outsiders, because he had not exercised much for a long time, his shuriken skills had begun to decline. His grades were worse than those at the beginning of school. It was no wonder that Tsunade, as a friend, would be disappointed with him.

Not long after Tsunade left, Jiraiya and Orochimaru left one after another and went to another classroom to wait for their mentoring Jonin.

Seeing his friends leaving one by one, Aokiji no longer had any reason to stay here. As a student, he had to work hard to go to school.

There were relatively few classes today. After school was over early, Aokiji did not go home directly, but wandered around with a certain purpose. Finally, he was lucky enough to meet an adult training three children at a training ground.

These three children are Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

Among them, Jiraiya was repaired particularly badly, and everyone was tied directly to the pillar.

Tsunade held the bell, shook it, and scolded: "Hehe, Jiraiya, if you want to beat me, you are a hundred years too early. Sure enough, you are still in last place."

Jiraiya couldn't bear the ridicule and broke his guard: "It's so noisy, you airport, washboard."

Tsunade became angry when she heard this. Now she was no longer the girl who didn't know anything about "breasts" and mistakenly regarded fighting as a treasure: "You deserve a beating, right?"

Seeing the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen, a teacher, shook his head helplessly: "Are these two people the same as before?"
