The morning breeze is blowing and the sun is shining brightly.

Today is the annual grade competition of Konoha Ninja School, and the school also takes a day off because of this special day.

The grade competition of the village ninja school is naturally not as grand as the Chunin Exam jointly held by multiple villages, but at this time, the high platform of the entire school playground is already full of spectators.

Among the audience were ninja school students who were ready to cheer for their friends, as well as parents of the contestants.

But the real heavyweight guests are the four old men sitting side by side on the podium.

In the center is Konoha Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, with Root leader Danzo on the left, and Strategic Planning Minister Elder Mitokado En on the right. And Utane Koharu, who is sitting to Mitokado En's right, holding a teacup and pretending to be elegant.

These four people hold the power of life and death over everything in Konoha and are truly the people at the top of power.

The visit of such a person to the Ninja School is naturally to demonstrate the Konoha high-level officials' attention to the training and cultivation of the new generation of ninjas.

Naruto was also sitting in the audience, next to Shikamaru with his pineapple hair tied up. Blonde-haired Ino and pink-haired Sakura were on their left, with a seat between them.

"Please invite the contestants from Class 1, Grade 1, to enter first!"

With the announcement of the host referee, the grade competition officially began.

Even if the first-year students were selected as contestants, they were just two little kids.

They had only been in the ninja school for less than half a year, and their fighting style was clearly too immature.

Not to mention the almost impossible to use ninjutsu, even the physical skills duel is laughable.

Little pink fists fighting, pinching necks, stepping on toes...

Seeing this, Danzo frowned and his face began to twitch as he said, "Hiruzen, is this the result of your meticulous improvement of the Ninja School?"

"I think education should be gradual." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care, but watched with great interest. "Let the students get familiar with the theory first, and then slowly practice being a ninja."

"If such a waste goes to the battlefield, he won't be able to even withstand a kunai!" Danzo said coldly.

"They are still students, Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and said lightly: "You are too impatient."

"The situation in the ninja world is ever-changing. Who knows what will happen in the next second?" Danzo retorted, and said in a low voice: "Instead of sending them to the battlefield to die in vain, it is better to use my training method!"

"I really shouldn't have asked you here." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

"Hmph, you are really getting weaker and weaker." Danzo snorted coldly, lowered his eyelids and stopped talking.

But the fire in his heart that wanted to overthrow everything became stronger and stronger. In his opinion, Sarutobi Hiruzen was no longer worthy of the position of Hokage. If Konoha was handed over to him to manage, even if he was just a ninja school student, he would be able to take charge!

"Danzo, your thinking shouldn't be so radical in peacetime." Mitomon Yan, who was wearing glasses, suddenly interrupted and sighed, "High-pressure management will only backfire."

"Yes, Danzo." Utane Koharu put the teacup in her hand aside and said lightly: "It doesn't matter what you do in the roots, but under the sun is not a place for you to interfere."

Okay, okay, you are on the same side now, right?

Danzo narrowed his eyes and stared at his three friends. The atmosphere became a little solemn at this moment.

"The next contestant to take the stage is from Class 4 of Grade 3!"

The referee's voice sounded, and Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed and said, "It's the turn of the kid that Danzo and I are optimistic about."

Danzo, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En all turned their eyes to the field, and a young man in a white robe and black-framed glasses came into their sight.

"Oh, I can tell from his appearance that this kid has a lot of temperament." Utane Koharu smiled and praised, "I'm looking forward to his performance."

"Humph, it's more than just temperament." Danzo lowered his eyelids and said indifferently: "This child is born to be a ninja, not some waste who plays house games."

In Danzo's opinion, his new subordinate was perfect in every aspect except for his mental condition.

"Oh? Even you give such a high evaluation?" Mitomon Yan pushed his glasses on his face and laughed softly: "It seems that this kid is really outstanding. Who is his opponent?"

"Uchiha Sasuke." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

After the words fell, the atmosphere between the few people became silent again.

The extermination of the Uchiha clan is closely related to these people present, and it can even be said that they were the ones who caused it. Now seeing the orphans of the Uchiha family, it is inevitable that I feel a little complicated.

"Come on, Yifeng!" Naruto shouted at the top of his lungs not far away, breaking the silence between Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others. "Show that sissy some of your strength, you can do it!"

"Shut up, what are you yelling about?" Even though there was a seat between them, Haruno Sakura couldn't stand the little yellow-haired boy's yelling. With a grin, she said angrily, "There are so many people here, please pay attention to the impact! Also, Sasuke-kun is not a sissy!"

Being yelled at by the girl he liked, Naruto immediately wilted. He sat back in his seat and muttered, "He will be beaten by Yifeng anyway..."

"Impossible, Sasuke-kun is the strongest." Haruno Sakura responded sharply, snorting coldly: "Even if Yi Feng really uses that disgusting attack, he can't hurt him!"

"Yifeng told me that he learned a new trick!" Naruto lowered his head and didn't dare to look into his eyes, but still said firmly: "I believe in him, he will definitely win! Right, Shikamaru?"

As he spoke, he looked at his friend beside him with hope.

"Well, who knows?" Shikamaru didn't intend to get involved in their argument, it was too childish.

"Come to think of it, Yifeng actually brought a sword today." Ino stared at the long sword hanging on Yifeng's waist, blinked and said, "So he has learned swordsmanship?"

"Hey, it's true!" Naruto exclaimed again, his eyes wide open, "Could his new special move be swordsmanship, like the samurai in the comics?"

"How can a samurai be a match for a ninja? They have all been eliminated." Haruno Sakura rolled her eyes and whispered, "Why hasn't Sasuke-kun come on stage yet? I'm looking forward to what he'll wear for this occasion."

Just as she finished her words, a young man wearing a blue cat suit walked in from the other end of the playground.

Stunned!

Seeing the blue-cat boy walk briskly to the center of the field and stand still, Haruno Sakura was completely stunned. "That, that's Sasuke-kun?"

"That should be it?" Ino also stared with a stunned expression and responded.

"Cat, kitty?!"

Naruto gasped. He didn't know what to say for a moment because of his enemy's outfit. He actually dressed so uniquely for such an occasion. What on earth was he trying to do?

Is he planning to use this attire to distract Yi Feng and thus achieve victory?

Naruto gritted his teeth and looked angry when he thought of this. Damn, this bastard is so cunning!

at this time.

The Konoha F4 sitting on the dais looked at each other in bewilderment at Sasuke's slightly funny outfit.

"Huruzen, is this the new trend among young people?" Mito Kado En pushed up his glasses, looking confused.

"Even if it's a trend, it shouldn't be used in this kind of situation, right?" Utane Koharu frowned and speculated, "Is it possible that this is the tactic of that Uchiha kid?"

"I think this is some kind of protective measure." Danzo held his chin with one hand, looked at his friend beside him and said: "Hiruzen, what do you think he is defending against?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also confused at first, until he suddenly remembered a ridiculous thing that Iruka had reported to him. He was stunned for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched as he said, "Defense Starry Sky?"
