Chapter 51 Graduation Ceremony
Two Kun years later, the time came to the 47th year of Konoha.
The leaves of the new generation have shed their immaturity and it is time for them to graduate.
Inside the Konoha Ninja Academy, there is a conference room that can accommodate hundreds of people.
A slightly calm voice echoed in the room.
"Where the leaves dance, the fire lives on. The flames will continue to illuminate the village, allowing new leaves to sprout..."
The Sandaime stood on the podium, preaching the Will of Fire.
The students in the audience watched eagerly, their eyes full of longing for the future.
Time seemed to go back to the entrance ceremony five years ago.
But this time they are no longer students of the Ninja Academy, but real ninjas.
Haneda listened quietly, seemingly seriously, but actually he was thinking about his future plans.
His original plan was to join the Konoha Police Force upon graduation.
This way, he avoided the early and middle stages of the Third World War, and by the time Konoha had to send Uchiha to participate in the war in the later stages, he had already had a certain ability to protect himself.
But now, plans can no longer keep up with changes.
Judging from the methods often used by the Sandaime, in order to win over himself, he would definitely not allow himself to have too close a relationship with the Uchiha.
The Sandaime will definitely arrange a teacher, and this teacher is likely to be from the Hokage faction.
Thinking of this, Haneda looked at Lin calmly.
As Jiraiya's disciple, Minato is naturally a die-hard Hokage, so...
There is a high possibility that Obito and Rin will be replaced by himself.
Haneda shook his head secretly and threw away his thoughts.
Now is not the time to worry about this. What really matters is to survive the Third World War.
The most important prerequisite for survival is strength, which is different from the background that Haneda relied on before.
The enemy will not care whose son or disciple you are.
The enemy is the enemy, and even Senju Rope Tree is no exception.
Thinking of this, Haneda silently unfolded the system, and a light blue light curtain appeared in front of him.
【Uchiha Haneda】
[Strength: Jonin (53/100)]
[Chakra: 11.3 cards, attributes water, earth, wind, fire, thunder, yin, yang]
[Bloodline Limit: Three Magatama Sharingan (Mangekyo 67%), Primary Sage Body (Intermediate Sage Body 17%), Wood Release]
[Special Abilities: Eight Gates of Dunjia (73/100), Mastery of Hatake Swordsmanship (71/100)]
(Note 1: Wood Release is a gift from the Sage Body, as are the water and earth chakra attributes)
(Note 2: The data is good, but the strength is poor, that is due to lack of combat experience, here specifically refers to life-and-death struggles)
"With jonin strength, if you keep a low profile and have a good teacher, it should be enough to save your life."
Haneda thought secretly, at this time the Sandaime finished his speech and began to award graduation certificates.
"Obito hasn't arrived yet. Looks like we'll be late again."
Lin's voice came from the front. Haneda looked around silently and did not see Obito.
He knew without even thinking that Obito was ambushed and held back by the old lady again.
"Hey~ Oh, Bitto, this idiot, I reminded him many times last night."
Haneda rubbed his temple helplessly, thinking that he should have brought him with him this morning.
Not long after, the Sandaime took the list and started calling the roll.
"Sarutobi Asuma."
Hearing the old man pointing at him, Asma walked to the side of the podium reluctantly, hanging by a straw.
The Sandaime looked at his rebellious son and smiled helplessly.
He won’t respond no matter how you beat him, and he won’t listen no matter how you talk to him. What else can you do to him?
But the Sandaime is still Asuma's father, and he has the responsibility to educate his son.
"Asuma, congratulations. From today on, you are a true ninja..."
Before the Sandaime could finish his words, he was interrupted by Asuma:
"Don't say anything sentimental, old man."
"You are still the same as when you were a kid, hehe..."
The Sandaime smiled and didn't take Asuma's words seriously.
He still said seriously:
"Asuma, remember, once you become a ninja you are no longer a child."
"No matter what you were like before, from today on you must strictly discipline yourself as a ninja."
Perhaps because of the Sandaime's seriousness, Asuma did not show any rebelliousness this time.
He nodded seriously and said, "I understand. I will hold myself to the standards of a ninja."
Seeing this, the Sandaime smiled with relief.
He handed the diploma to Asma and whispered something in his ear.
Asuma's expression suddenly became extremely excited, and even the grass in his mouth fell down unconsciously.
The second one is Might Guy.
When the Sandaime called out his name, Kai quickly ran to the podium.
"Hokage-sama!" Kai said excitedly.
"It's very youthful, Kai, just like your father, very passionate." The Sandaime said with a smile.
He stuffed the diploma into Kai's hand and said:
"Congratulations on graduating, Kai."
"I hope your youth will be like your father's, forever lasting for the sake of the village and your companions."
Hearing this, Kai replied excitedly:
"Hokage-sama, for the sake of what is most important to you, youth will never end!"
Looking at Kai's passionate look, the smile on the Sandaime's face grew even wider.
The new leaves were so full of vitality that he felt that all his years of construction for the village were not in vain.
The Sandaime glanced down at the graduation list and read out another name.
"Hatake Kakashi."
Hearing their names, Kakashi and Haneda looked at each other and walked in front of the Sandaime.
"Hokage-sama." Kakashi bowed slightly and stood aside waiting for the Sandaime to hand out the graduation certificates.
"It's Kakashi. I didn't expect to think of you so early."
The Sandaime had a gentle smile on his face, and his whole body seemed as warm as a spring breeze.
"I've heard so many great things about you over the past five years."
"After hard and diligent training, you have grown from a child to a true ninja."
"Congratulations on your graduation, Kakashi."
The Sandaime handed Kakashi his diploma and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you, Hokage." Kakashi silently took the diploma and put it away.
He had heard his father talk many times about his experiences as a ninja, and the heaviness of this diploma.
Take his father for example. After becoming a ninja, he had to carry out a mission every once in a while. The missions might be difficult or difficult, but they were all dangerous.
Moreover, during the war, his father had to rush to the front line for the sake of the village, and sometimes he had to take on the task of command, so it was difficult for him to find time to accompany him...
And this is just the tip of the ninja iceberg.
Watching Kakashi leave, the Sandaime read out Haneda's name:
"Next, Uchiha Haneda."
Hearing the fourth Sandaime call out to him, Haneda walked quickly down the aisle.
When passing by Kakashi, he asked with a smile:
"How does it feel to be a ninja for a day?"
"Yeah, it's fine... I just don't know if I can still train with you in the future."
Kakashi said with a slightly heavy tone.
From the day you become a ninja, there are many things you can no longer decide for yourself.
They will go to various parts of the world due to their respective missions, and will also leave at different times when carrying out their missions.
The two will not meet as often as before.
