Konoha's logic genius

Konoha 60 years.

All fresh graduates from the ninja school have graduated, but they still need to complete a special 'task' before they can become official genin.

In the office of the Hokage building, in addition to the Hokage and the Hokage's assistant, there are three elite jounin staying here, waiting for arrangements.

Among the ninja students who graduate in each class, there must be some outstanding graduates who need some special care.

Class treatment is a phenomenon that exists everywhere. It is an 'invisible' rule that cannot be circumvented in every village.

The three jounin left to the end are here to guide the next outstanding graduates.

Kakashi Hatake, the second-generation White Fang of Konoha, is proficient in swordsmanship, taijutsu and lightning escape. After retiring from the ANBU captain, he was assigned to be the instructor of this term.

Then there was Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing there calmly while smoking a cigarette. The son of the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, one of the strongest jounin in Konoha, the Sarutobi clan had high hopes for him.

The third place is Uzumaki Kushina. As the wife of Hokage, Uzumaki Kushina began to be more leisurely and elegant after having more free time. This time, she was in charge of her daughter-in-law. .

"Asuma, don't smoke here." Nara Shikaku scolded him, which gave him a headache.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Mr. Shikaku, Hokage-sama, I almost forgot that smoking is prohibited here." Asuma smiled awkwardly, took the cigarette out of his mouth and put it out.

"It's okay, just be more careful next time." Namikaze Minato smiled gently, not paying attention to this little thing.

By the way, did you tell Asuma the same thing a few times before?

Speaking of which, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is also a heavy smoker. Is this the so-called 'son inherits his father's legacy'?

"I think you already know the reason why I asked you to come here. This is the class that the three of you will lead. If nothing else happens, they will be your students in the next few years."

Namikaze Minato divided the nine photos into three groups and placed them in front of the corresponding ones of Kakashi, Asuma and Uzumaki Kushina.

"Are these the nine best newcomers of this class?" Asuma subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette, but when he saw Nara Shikaku's stern eyes, he smiled and scratched his head.

"I don't know if they are excellent or not, but they all have some special abilities. And their identities..." Kakashi squinted, picked up the photos of the three people assigned to his subordinates, and sighed softly.

This pink-haired girl is a little better, marked with less obvious potentials such as excellent chakra control.

But the guy in the next two photos...this is really tricky.

No, this shouldn't be a long-term super S-level mission, right?

Kakashi thought helplessly.

It's rare for him to retire from ANBU, so why can't he have a good rest? He hasn't finished enjoying Jiraiya-sama and September-sensei's novels yet.

"Kakashi, thank you for your hard work. Let's go to the barbecue restaurant on Center Street to celebrate tonight. Congratulations on winning the grand prize."

"forgive me."

"That's it, Hokage-sama, let's go down first."

"Well, go ahead, please."

Under Minato's watch, the three of them exited the office and walked towards the outside of the Hokage Building.

The sun shone in through the window from outside, and the slightly dazzling light shone on the faces of the people in the room. Naruto lazily sat up from the bed, opened his eyes in a daze for the first time, and looked at the bright weather outside the window. I struggled to get out of bed and put on formal clothes.

Then he walked to the wall calendar in the room and saw that the date was March 3rd. He muttered and patted his head: "So today is the graduation orientation. No wonder I can't cheer up."

The most hateful thing is that today is obviously Sunday, a rare holiday, but it was canceled because of the graduation orientation. This is simply demoralizing.

"Naruto, are you up? Come down to eat."

Downstairs, the cry of mother Kushina was heard.

"Yes, yes, get up, come down soon."

The time displayed on the wall clock was [-]:[-] in the morning, which was still an hour and a half away from the graduation orientation meeting at [-]:[-].

Because it is a graduation orientation, there is no need to arrive at school before eight o'clock as usual.Normally, I should get up at six-thirty.

"I can't get excited..."

After going downstairs to the bathroom and washing up, Minato was still at home at this time of the day for a rare occasion, and did not go to the Hokage Building to work in a hurry after having breakfast.

He probably also wanted to cheer Naruto up today.

A family of three sat at the dining table and ate breakfast quietly. Minato was the first to break the silence at the dining table and smiled at Naruto: "How about it, are there no problems today?"

"Is there no problem? Dad, are you confused in your sleep? Haven't you already passed the graduation exam? The next step is just to divide the classes, what else..."

At this point, Naruto stopped his chopsticks and stopped talking.

"what happened?"

"There shouldn't be any subsequent testing, right?"

Naruto's eyes flashed with sharp colors and he looked at Minato with a searching look in his eyes.

"Haha..." Minato laughed dryly, his eyes drifting away without revealing a word.

There really is.Naruto felt reassured, and his relaxed mood suddenly turned to unpleasant.

Really, can’t it be tested clean in one go?Unexpectedly, after the graduation exam, there will be another stage of tests. The ninja exam is really cumbersome.

If it is only at the same level as the graduation exam, then you can pass it easily.

Such low-level ninjutsu as the application of the Three Body Technique, he had already mastered it when he was five or six years old.

However, if there is indeed a follow-up test, it is unlikely to be as simple as the graduation exam, allowing people to pass it easily.

"Naruto, don't feel complacent just because of your current achievements. This is a taboo for ninjas. The graduation exams in today's era cannot be compared with the graduation exams in the war era. Minato, you are the same. I think the graduation exams are The difficulty should be raised one or two levels. Today's ninjas are too pampered and will suffer a big loss on the battlefield."

Kushina said this and accused Minato.

The graduation exam in the war era is not an idiotic test that only tests the three body skills, but a real actual combat.

Even so, the sacrifice rate of newcomers on the battlefield remains high.

In Kushina's eyes, the graduation exam is getting easier year by year. Whether it should be said that it has improved or regressed, this cannot be said clearly.

At least, ninjas who came through the war years would not be so pampered.

That's why she asked Naruto to do some hard training when he was a child, so as not to suffer disadvantages in battles in the future.

The path of a ninja cannot be smooth sailing. When performing tasks, you must always be prepared to make sacrifices.

"You also said that this is not the same era as before. You can appropriately reduce some of the burden. Moreover, the training of ninjas requires self-awareness. For ninjas who do not have this idea, no matter how hard they are pushed, it will be useless."

Although the difficulty of the graduation exam has been reduced, it does not mean that the tests in subsequent stages will also be reduced.

The graduation exam is optional, but the instructor's test is the real key. Failure to pass means failure, and most of those who fail will be deleted.

"Well, I can't tell you."

Breakfast time passed quickly in soothing exchanges, and it was now eight o'clock in the morning.

Naruto walked out of the house, carrying Konoha ninja's exclusive forehead protector in his pocket, and walked towards the ninja school in a leisurely pace.
