Chapter 52 Graduation Classification
Hearing this, Haneda smiled, put his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, and said:
"How could that be? Maybe we can still fight side by side like we did five years ago."
After saying that, he extended his right fist, and a smile appeared on Kakashi's face.
The moment the two fists touched, each of them understood each other's intentions - a friend in need is a friend indeed.
"We'll talk later, Kakashi."
Haneda waved his hand, walked past Kakashi, and came in front of the Sandaime.
"You have a good relationship with your classmates, Haneda."
The Sandaime selectively ignored Haneda's "lateness" and smiled.
"It's okay. I have a good relationship with my classmates." Haneda responded politely.
Hearing this, the Sandaime smiled.
He remembered that his rebellious son had mentioned Haneda many times.
At this moment, the smile on his face became much more sincere.
"Congratulations on your graduation, Haneda."
The Sandaime said, handing the diploma to Haneda.
He looked into Haneda's eyes and asked with a smile:
"As the best bud of the new era of Konoha, what do you plan to do after graduation?"
Hearing this, the smile on Haneda's face immediately disappeared.
He pondered for a moment, organized his words, and then said:
"Probably to become a good ninja."
"Just like Uncle Sakumo, who has the sharpest knife but treats his companions tenderly."
"Sakumo?" The Sandaime nodded secretly.
Judging from Haneda's performance over the years and his understanding of the Uchiha, the Sandaime has no doubts about it.
He patted Haneda's shoulder and said with a smile:
"Yes, in the ninja world, people who don't follow the rules are called trash, but people who don't cherish their companions are even worse than trash."
"This is what you said back then. I hope you can always remember it."
After five years, Haneda's eyes flashed with embarrassment when he heard Obito's classic words again.
He said this back then purely to win Kakashi's favor.
However, when I think back on it now, I find it both funny and amazing.
All I can say is that fate is wonderful beyond words.
"I will, Hokage-sama." Haneda raised his head and smiled.
After Haneda left, the Sandaime called upon all the students one by one.
Until the moment the Sandaime called out Obito's name, the conference room fell silent and there was no response for a long time.
"Uchiha Obito? Isn't he here?" the Sandaime asked again.
At this time, two people stood up at the same time.
It's Haneda and Lin.
Haneda glanced at Lin who stood up and sat down silently.
Let's leave Obito's marriage to him and not get involved.
"Hokage, can I lead on behalf of Obito?" Lin clenched her palms tightly and mustered up her courage.
If no one helps Obito collect his graduation certificate, his graduation will be delayed.
Even if it meant embarrassing herself in front of everyone in her grade, Rin was still willing to stand up and help Obito.
"Yes, Obito's learning achievements are enough for graduation, so don't worry."
"I remember your name is Lin, right? A very courageous girl."
Lin said "hmm" and quickly ran to the podium to help Obito collect his graduation certificate.
"Thank you." Lin lowered her head and bowed repeatedly, looking very embarrassed.
"It's nothing. Obito is also an excellent child. I often hear others mention his helpful character."
"He probably had an emergency, so he couldn't come."
The Sandaime said softly.
Lin blushed slightly and trotted away holding her diploma.
After the remaining dozen students came on stage, the ceremony of distributing graduation certificates came to an end.
The Sandaime spoke to all the students again, his voice no longer excited but rather sounded somewhat heavy.
"From the moment your graduation certificates are issued, and the moment you put on the forehead guard that represents the Konoha ninja, you are no longer students of the Ninja Academy, but real ninjas."
"You will form teams of three and carry out missions for the village under the leadership of your instructor."
"From this moment on, you will all contribute your share to yourself, your family, and our village."
"This means that from this day on, you will take on the responsibilities of an adult."
The Sandaime paused for a few seconds when he said this.
When the students' enthusiasm for graduation turned to thinking about the future, he finally spoke:
"Next, I will announce the rosters of each team."
"First class..."
"Class 3, Might Guy, Anko Mitarashi, Genma Shiranui, and instructor Orochimaru."
……
"Team 7, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, and instructor Namikaze Minato."
……
"Team Nine, Uchiha Haneda, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, and instructor Hatake Sakumo."
……
Haneda was shocked as groups of teams passed by his ears.
Although he understood why the Sandaime gave Kai to Orochimaru, the difference in personality between these two people was too big, wasn't it? ! !
It was really hard for him to imagine how Orochimaru and Might Guy would get along.
Faced with a boy full of youthful enthusiasm, would the aloof Orochimaru be annoyed enough to use him as an experiment? !
Emmm...
Orochimaru's current nickname is "Leng Jun", which means he is very cold and aloof.
Instead, he was assigned to Uncle Sakumo, and his teammates were the second-generation Kage Asuma and his lover Yuhi Kurenai, both of which seemed unremarkable.
Generally speaking, the personnel arrangements of Haneda's three teams are full of political factors.
The Sandaime gave Kaisai to Orochimaru in order to bind Dai to the Hokage's faction.
Asuma was assigned to Uncle Sakumo, and he was his teammate again.
It is clearly shown here that the Sandaime is trying to bring Sakumo and himself together, and see if Asuma can form a bond with him.
Although Kakashi and the others are the same as in the original story, it also shows the Sandaime's intention to win over Sakumo.
When Kakashi and Asuma are added together, one can see how determined the Sandaime is to win over Sakumo.
While Haneda was thinking, Kakashi said in a low voice:
"It looks like Haneda, we really will be separated for a while."
"But we're still friends."
Haneda smiled, thinking of Obito, and said to Kakashi,
"And your teammates are all good."
"Obito is a very interesting guy. Although he is a bit noisy, it is really fun to be with him."
"Lin is the same. She is very gentle, caring and brave."
"Bless you, Kakashi, you've made new friends."
Hearing Haneda's blessing, Kakashi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and smiled:
"Maybe. In fact, my father also suggested that I make more friends."
After saying that, Kakashi glanced at the crowd.
After the Sandaime finished reading the list and announced that the students could leave, they left one after another.
"Where are we going next?" Kakashi asked habitually.
"Let's keep a poor fellow company. Come on, Kakashi!"
Just as Haneda was pulling Kakashi out, Gai came and started their daily duel.
"Let's have a showdown of youth, Kakashi!" Kai said excitedly, clenching his fists.
Kakashi's face immediately fell when he heard the familiar voice.
He glanced at Haneda, who had his hands in his pockets and turned away, and his face suddenly turned black.
