Chapter 72 Haruno Sakura

Aoba had a feeling that Naruto's ability to use multiple shadow clones without limit was probably due to Ashura.

Just like how Sasuke was able to successfully devour Orochimaru in the plot, these two children of destiny were protected by the Six Paths Sage at the spiritual and soul levels.

This also made Aoba always feel a little conflicted when interacting with Sasuke and Naruto. He always felt that the old man, the Six Paths Sage, was watching him in secret.

He had more contact with Sasuke because he knew that the Six Paths Sage was obviously biased towards Asura. Sasuke, this Indra, was a bit like a tool.

After graduation, these graduates of the Ninja School will face the task of being divided into teams.

To be honest, in Aoba's opinion, these are clearly just a bunch of brats. But in Konoha, or any other ninja village, they are already regular ninjas.

Ninjas have missions to accomplish. From the most basic tasks like clearing the river, to finding cats and dogs, to escorting caravans, to clearing out bandits, to facing stray ninjas, or even ninjas from enemy countries.

Death and killing will become a constant in their lives.

In the classroom, graduating students are waiting for their team teacher to come and pick them up.

Soon, Hong, Asuma, and their subordinates left.

Finally, there were only four people left in the classroom: Karin who graduated early, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura.

The four of them looked at each other in bewilderment, because according to the rules, they were supposed to be in groups of three. What did it mean that there were only four of them left? Could it be that someone was going to be eliminated?

It was close to noon when Qingye slowly appeared. There was no special reason, he just woke up a little late in the morning.

Karin already knew that her leader teacher was Aoba, and Uchiha Sasuke was considered half of Aoba's disciple. Both of them were very familiar with Aoba.

Naruto also knew Aoba, but because of Konoha's ban, Aoba had not had much contact with him before.

Before, he was not allowed to contact her, but now she has become Naruto's team leader. Aoba sighed again, it is useful to have someone above you. Kakashi and Shikaku are one in the light and one in the dark.

Some simple proposals were passed without leaving any trace. Konoha F3 didn't even feel anything was wrong.

"What? It's you, Brother Aoba. I said you were too perfunctory. You were late for more than two hours." A group of little brats accused him together. Aoba was upset. Especially since Karin was still making trouble.

Qingye wanted to say, "I was late because of your mother." But thinking that the people in front of him were all minors, it was not a good idea to say such a thing, so he finally held back.

"...You guys follow me."

According to tradition, the leading jonin should give his three new subordinates a test mission.

It was like Kakashi's bell grabbing, which could test the subordinates' combat effectiveness, intelligence gathering ability, and the bond between them at the same time.

But Qingye didn't have time to play this kind of game with them. He directly assigned Sasuke and the others the task of cleaning the river one by one and sent the children away.

At this time, the only two people left at the scene were Haruno Sakura and Aoba.

Haruno Sakura now knew that she was the one who was eliminated. But it seemed that she was not completely eliminated.

She knew Aoba, or it could be said that few civilian ninjas in Konoha did not know Aoba. He was born in a poor family, but he relied on his swordsmanship. He fought against the Raikage twice without losing, and he has become an idol-level figure among the civilian ninjas in Konoha.

It’s just that Qingye is usually low-key, and there are not many people who are really friends with him.

But Haruno Sakura couldn't understand what the other party meant by leaving her alone.

"Haruno Sakura, right? According to the information I have here, when you were in the Ninja School, you got full marks in most of the theoretical tests?"

"Yes." Theory classes were originally Haruno Sakura's pride. But after more contact with Sasuke and Naruto, she realized very early on the huge gap in combat power between her and Naruto.

Haruno Sakura once had a dream, to become a ninja as powerful as Tsunade. But in reality, the gap between Sasuke and Naruto made her feel unattainable.

My theoretical achievements are not worth mentioning in actual practice.

"Have you practiced climbing trees and treading water?"

"I've practiced."

Sasuke and Naruto had taught her these skills. She had practiced well, but was limited by her chakra and physical weakness. She was far behind those two perverts in terms of combat power.

Qingye stretched out his right hand, and a ball of chakra gathered in his hand. As he controlled it, the ball of chakra slowly transformed into the shape of a bird.

This move looks powerful, but it is actually just a fancy trick. It is completely different from the Rasengan.

Rasengan also condenses chakra in the hands. However, the Rasengan can cause huge damage because the chakra in the hands is highly compressed and rotated.

Qingye's was just the most basic condensation, without the process of rotation and compression, so it had no lethality. All it needed was precise control.

"Try and see if you can do it?"

"This..." Haruno Sakura roughly understood what the legendary jonin wanted to do. She immediately focused and tried to complete the operation.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to complete the final step of allowing the bird to spread its wings.

After a while, the little girl was exhausted and out of breath.

"That's enough, you're already pretty good."

In fact, according to Aoba's requirements, as long as the chakra ball can be simply transformed, it will be considered qualified. However, Haruno Sakura's control is better than expected. She can actually complete the complex transformation process of the bird.

As for the last step of making the bird move, it is a real advanced operation, which is completely different from the simple transformation mentioned above.

"Haruno Sakura, I'm asking you now, are you willing to be my disciple?"

"Ah... But. Lord Aoba, can I know why it was me? I am not outstanding. Whether it is Sasuke, Naruto, or even Karin who graduated early, they are much better than me. They..."

"They are different, at least not like us."

"We?" Haruno Sakura didn't understand why a big shot like Aoba would treat them as the same kind of people.

"Haha, didn't you notice? Those three people are all special. Sasuke is a descendant of the Uchiha clan, the former most powerful family in Konoha. He was born with the blood limit of the Sharingan. He has great blessings in illusion and dynamic vision.

Uzumaki Naruto and Uzumaki Karin are both from the Uzumaki clan. This clan is born with a huge amount of chakra that ordinary people cannot match. Their vitality and physical strength are far beyond that of ordinary people. Do you understand what I mean?"

"My Lord, do you mean that we are all civilian ninjas?"

"That's right, we are both civilian ninjas without bloodline or bloodline limit. Of course, we have another more important similarity.

You know, when I was in school, I also got full marks in theory classes."
