In the world of Naruto, the only one who can talk to the Third Hokage in this tone is Tsunade.

Tsunade lightly glanced at the photo on the early graduation application form on the Third Hokage's desk, her eyes instantly brightened, and she blurted out: "That's him! At this age, and with chakra still in his body, of course he is a student of the Ninja School, why didn't I think of it? If I had known he was in the Ninja School, I should have blocked the door directly."

The Third Hokage sighed and shook his head: "Tsunade, you're so old now, why are you still as carefree as you were when you were a child?" His words seemed full of blame, but in fact they revealed helplessness.

Tsunade didn't care and said firmly: "Old man, let me tell you something. I want to be the examiner for this kid's graduation test myself."

"Him? Yagyu Hōshō? How did you two know each other?" The Third Hokage frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Tsunade took a deep breath and told the whole story of yesterday. After listening, the Third Hokage nodded and said slowly: "No wonder Jiraiya came to ask me if I have any mission early in the morning. The farther away from Konoha Village, the better."

Tsunade snorted coldly: "This Jiraiya, when he comes back, I won't forgive him either." Her words were full of coldness.

The Third Hokage waved his hand and said, "Tsunade, I think you misunderstood what Dawn meant. He lost his parents when he was young and was adopted by the Suzuki family, a medical ninja. What he said didn't sound like a complaint, but rather that he felt helpless that medical ninjas couldn't study offensive ninjutsu because they had to focus on treating the wounded. And do you know how his father died?"

Tsunade's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? He was adopted by a medical ninja? Then he should know how to be grateful. How could he complain to a medical ninja!"

The Third Hokage sighed and said slowly: "I have already said that he was not complaining about the medical ninjas, but was helpless about the fact that the medical ninjas could not learn too many ninjutsu. His father was also a hero who died on the battlefield."

Tsunade immediately retorted: "Even if his father died on the battlefield, he couldn't say that about medical ninjas. There were so many ninjas who sacrificed their lives for Konoha on the battlefield, and none of their descendants dared to say that medical ninjas were bad."

The Third Hokage saw Tsunade was still struggling with the fact that Dawn was saying that medical ninjas were not good, and he was having a headache even though she was complaining, so he told Tsunade which mission Kyosuke Yagyu had sacrificed himself for.

After hearing this, Tsunade was silent for a long time, her eyes gradually turning red. She asked in a hoarse voice, "So, his father fought against the enemy ninjas with all his strength until he could no longer return in order to bring back the remains of the heroes who died in the war in Konoha intact... and among those remains, there were also Dan and Nawaki?"

The Third Hokage nodded, took a deep puff of cigarette, and exhaled slowly: "Yes, the Suzuki family adopted Dawn not only because he was pitiful, but more because his father's spirit deeply touched them."

Tsunade calmed down her inner emotions and said firmly: "Old man, since this kid wants to take the early graduation examination, let me be his examiner."

The Third Hokage frowned, "Nonsense! With your ability, if you serve as an examiner, what hope does this child have to graduate?"

Tsunade smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will restrain my strength and only use the level of Chunin. You don't think I will take revenge on my own, do you?"

The Third Hokage looked at Tsunade and nodded with certainty.

Tsunade explained, "Don't worry, old man. Before I knew everything, I just wanted to tease him. And that night, I felt the chakra in his body that was close to that of a Chunin. An eight-year-old child actually has such amazing potential. In this test, an ordinary Chunin teacher may not be able to test his true strength."

Under Tsunade's persistence, the Third Hokage had to agree to let her serve as the examiner for the Dawn's early graduation examination.

That afternoon

On the playground of Ninja Academy

Hōdō stood in the center. His classmates and Konoha's high-ranking officials were all present. Hōdō smiled at the Chunin teacher beside him and said humbly, "Please give me some guidance for today's test."

However, the Chunin teacher looked surprised and replied, "Um... I am not the examiner of your test today. I am just a spectator." He then quietly retreated into the crowd.

Poxiao looked around and saw that all the Chunin teachers of the Ninja School were standing in the crowd of onlookers, and no one left.

He couldn't help but feel a little doubtful: "Could it be that today I will be facing a jonin-level assessment teacher?"

At this moment, a figure appeared across from Dawn like lightning, and his voice was somewhat teasing: "Boy, don't look for me anymore. I am your examiner for early graduation today. Let's see how you can escape from my grasp this time."

Hearing the voice, Dawn looked up and saw a pair of long legs, a proud figure, golden hair, and above that, the familiar face of Princess Tsunade.

His heart tightened, and he quickly asked: "Can I...can I cancel the assessment now?"

Tsunade chuckled and said, "Of course you can, but avoiding a fight is a big taboo for a ninja. If you choose to give up, then you will never be a ninja again."

Poxiao showed hesitation, and hesitated: "But...if I don't give up, I'm afraid I..."

At this time, the Third Hokage on the stage coughed twice, interrupting Dawn's worries: "Dawn, you don't have to be too scared. Tsunade will test you with the strength of a Chunin. You only need to hold on for a quarter of an hour in her hands."

Hearing this, Poxiao's tension eased a little, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Tsunade challenged him, "Hey, hey, hey, kid, what's the meaning of that sigh? Do you believe that I can beat you up with my Chunin strength?"

Dawn quickly explained: "No, Lady Tsunade, I'm not sighing, I'm just breathing normally, inhale~ inhale~"

"Okay, both sides get ready, the battle will begin in three seconds!" As the Third Hokage gave the order, the Dawn test was about to begin.

Tsunade said to Dawn, "Kid, if you can defeat me within a quarter of an hour today, or let me use my strength beyond that of a Chunin, I will give you a reward, how about that?"

Poxiao knew clearly that Tsunade had a lot of good things, but she was afraid that if she agreed too quickly, she would anger Tsunade, so she said: "Um... Lady Tsunade, I will do my best."
