"That's Naruto, right?"
Koharu saw a tall man walking into the classroom carrying a pink schoolbag. He couldn't help complaining: "What a bad taste. He is carrying a pink schoolbag. It doesn't match at all."
"Ahem..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was smoking his pipe, suddenly coughed violently when he heard Koharu's ruthless remarks. He said with an unnatural look on his face: "We don't need to pay attention to such small things."
"This child does not have the will of fire. Moreover, he often hides in corners and never communicates with others. I am afraid that he will do something extreme." Koharu changed the topic.
"He hasn't done anything extreme right now," said the old-eyed Homura.
"Humph, if you don't make it now, it won't be possible in the future." Danzo, with one hand and one eye bandaged, tapped the floor with the crutch in his hand and continued:
"Humph, I've said it a long time ago. If you give the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki to our roots, and we brainwash him from an early age, and put various electric spells and seals, he will definitely become an outstanding Jinchuuriki. Instead of looking like this with well-developed limbs and a simple mind."
"Furthermore, I also heard that Hiruzen, you actually gave him the land in the back mountain to do some farming. Hmph, if you don't learn well at a young age, it will be very bad when you grow up. Why don't you take advantage of him while he is still young and give him some breeding?"
Leave it to me to correct the mistake."
"That's enough, stop talking. If you hadn't revealed Naruto's Jinchuuriki's identity with unnecessary actions, he wouldn't have been treated coldly by the villagers," Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe and exhaled a long puff of white smoke, saying: "
Also, don't forget, he is Minato's child after all."
"As long as Naruto does not destroy the construction of the village or harm the villagers, even if he does not have the will of fire, I will let him live his life as an ordinary person."
"I owe this to Minato."
"Hmph, Hiruzen, you are always too soft-hearted. You will definitely regret it." Danzo Shimura snorted, feeling a little regretful. If it was me who cut off the post at that time, instead of Hiruzen, would the development of Konoha be different?
What's better?!
Regarding the dispute between the two of them, Koharu and Homura looked at each other and neither intervened.
Even though Hiruzen looks indecisive on the surface, he is actually more decisive than anyone else when it comes to things. For example, the next big thing is a clan, hehe.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
in the classroom,
Teacher Iruka and Teacher Mizuki walked into the classroom side by side and came to the podium.
Iruka was the first to speak: "Now, I believe all the students know that this assessment is very important. The third generation of adults also attaches great importance to it and is watching the outstanding performance of the students, so please try your best."
"Come on, students." Teacher Mizuki also encouraged everyone.
"Yes, Mr. Iruka, Mr. Mizuki." The students replied in unison.
Seeing the confident expressions on the faces of his classmates, Iruka was very satisfied, and then said: "Well, then, the students whose names I called will stand up for the assessment."
Iruka glanced at his friend Mizuki, who gestured with a smile to let him go.
"Nara Shikamaru."
Iruka named the first student to be tested.
Shikamaru, who looked lazy, stood up from his seat, walked to the open space in front of the podium, and bowed to Iruka and Mizuki.
"Let's start, Shikamaru, perform the Substitution Technique, the Clone Technique, and the Transformation Technique."
"Yes, teacher."
Shikamaru began to perform.
After finishing, Mr. Iruka nodded and did not comment. He only said "Come on, because the purpose of this assessment is that the Third Generation wants to pay attention to the future ninjas of Konoha."
Iruka called the names one by one.
When your name is called, leave your seat and do your best to show off what you usually learn.
"Sasuke Uchiha."
Uchiha's beautiful boy Sasuke walked out with a confident face.
"Sasuke, come on, you are the best." Sakura loudly became a cheerleader.
"Sasuke, come on, I'm optimistic about you." Ino was naturally unwilling to be outdone.
As soon as Sasuke appeared on the stage, the eyes of the four people observing in the Hokage Building finally showed a fluctuation. They all looked at Sasuke's performance seriously.
Sasuke's performance was naturally impeccable. After he performed perfectly, he returned to his seat.
Shimura Danzo's eyes were wandering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Uzumaki Naruto."
Iruka's voice broke the four people who were in a trance. The four people straightened their expressions and carefully observed Naruto's performance. However, Naruto's performance was completely unresponsive.
Substitution? No.
Transformation? No.
Clone technique? No way.
In fact, for half a year now, he has not even refined chakra.
"Hmph, look, I said it, this is a complete waste of the identity of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki." Danzo paused on the ground with his crutch again and said with a cold snort.
"Danzo, that's enough!" Hiruzen was furious.
"Hmph..." Danzo snorted coldly, turned around and left.
When he left, Koharu and Homura looked at each other. Today's observation was over here, so they said goodbye to Hiruzen and left the Hokage Building.
Hiruzen was left smoking his pipe alone, wondering what he was thinking.
After the assessment, the students left the classroom one after another. School ended early today, which was considered a benefit for the assessment.
Akimichi Choji was holding snacks in his hands and eating snacks while walking on the way home.
As he was walking, he suddenly bumped into an iron wall. When he looked up, he found that it was not an iron wall.
"It's Naruto!"
Akimichi Choji greeted vaguely while eating. He had no objection to Uzumaki Naruto.
"It's me, Choji, let's be friends." Naruto got straight to the point.
"Do you have anything to eat?" Akimichi Choji looked at Naruto and asked.
"Food? Of course." Naruto nodded.
Akimichi Choji looked happy and said: "Okay, if you give me food, then we will be good friends."
"That won't work, there's no process!" Naruto waved his hand directly, rejecting Akimichi Choji's proposal.
"What process?" Akimichi Choji's baby-fat face was full of doubts.
"That is, let's spar. If you lose, we will be friends." Naruto said excitedly.
"Spar? You can't beat me." Akimichi Choji shook his head like a rattle, thinking of Naruto's performance in the assessment. He didn't even refine chakra, how could he compete with him.
"Let's get started..."
Naruto shouted and immediately got into a stance.
"..." Akimichi Choji was a little too lazy to take action, but seeing Naruto's enthusiastic look, he had no choice but to compete with him.
"Bang bang bang..."
A moment later, Choji, with a bruised and swollen face, lay on the ground and said in confusion: "Actually, it's really not that troublesome. As long as you give me delicious food, we will be friends."
