There is a vast lawn outside the Konoha Village.

Under the dim sunset, the sound of the waterfall is very noisy.

But compared to the sound of the rushing water, the huge collision sound from time to time nearby is more eye-catching.

On the vast lawn, two black shadows chased each other and crossed each other.

"Fire escape, flame bomb!"

With the flow of seals and chakra in the body, three hot fireballs were spit out from Uchiha Sasuke's mouth one after another, shooting towards Naruto.

The roar of the fireballs sounded like a cannonball, clearly in this peaceful environment.

And Naruto dodged these fireballs without panic, and then in the gap of dodging, he also made a seal, "Wind escape, wind cutting technique!"

The nearly invisible wind escape technique turned the hurricane into a sharp blade that could harvest lives, flew out from the gap between several fireballs, and slashed towards Uchiha Sasuke.

But there was no accident, Naruto's ninjutsu was also easily dodged by Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke now no longer has the arrogance and contempt he had when he first accepted the challenge.

At the beginning of the battle, when he saw Naruto's speed and ninjutsu, he had already put those emotions behind him and took the battle seriously.

"Wind escape, big breakthrough!"

A strong hurricane rose from around Naruto and swept towards Uchiha Sasuke.

And this momentum directly brought up a lot of weeds that were not rooted in the soil.

Those weeds also had a slight lethality under this hurricane.

Without hesitation, Uchiha Sasuke retreated nimbly and withdrew from the range affected by the ninjutsu. While he was running and dodging Naruto's pursuit, he was thinking about how to fight back.

Naruto's chakra was stronger than he thought.

A little further away, Ryosuke and Hinata stood quietly on a giant tree, opened their Byakugan and looked down at the battle.

"Wow... so amazing, with this level of ninjutsu, Uchiha Sasuke was able to react and retreat in the first time." Hinata widened her eyes and watched the battle.

From time to time, she also praised out loud, her tone full of envy.

Under Ryosuke's guidance, she knew very well what her shortcomings were.

In the battle, she always lacked the corresponding reaction power, and she always had no way to exert her own strength.

But in this battle, she felt that both of them had extremely extraordinary fighting talents. They were like natural ninjas, with extremely sharp fighting intuition and nerve reaction speed.

"You can do it in the future, as long as you work hard." Ryosuke said with a chuckle, and just wanted to reach out and touch Hinata's hair to comfort her.

But the perception brought by the white eyes has stopped him.

"Little Hinata wants to target them two, it's not easy to catch up with them."

A hoarse but kind voice sounded beside the two.

I don't know when, an old man in a white robe and a hat has come to their side and stood on the giant tree with them.

"Third... Third-generation grandfather."

Ryosuke first pretended to be surprised and took a step back, and then asked politely: "Why are you here?"

And Hinata next to him also called out obediently.

"Good boy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded, his face full of age spots wrinkled into a ball, "Naruto's application for graduation assessment has been passed. I went to his house but didn't find anyone. I heard the noise and came to see, only to find that they were fighting privately here."

"Naruto just wants to get the first place in the grade before graduation, not by taking shortcuts. Don't blame him." Ryosuke explained.

He didn't have the smiling face he always had, nor did he have the expressionless face when he was relaxed, and he didn't pretend to be nervous for Naruto.

His performance was very ordinary, as if he just mentioned it casually.

He didn't believe a word of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

You know, since they met Uchiha Sasuke, the surrounding peeping has never stopped.

Rather than saying that Sarutobi Hiruzen came to inform Naruto, it would be better to say that he came to monitor the battle to avoid accidents.

"I won't blame him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied with Ryosuke's casual attitude. "I often heard Naruto talk about you. He said you are his only friends in school."

"After all, we are deskmates. Besides... I know his situation. My father has mentioned it to Hinata and me." Ryosuke turned his attention to the battle below. "He shouldn't be in that situation. He is the son of a hero."

"Naruto, it's pitiful."

Hinata also briefly expressed her opinion, "But he works hard and is very strong."

"Yeah..."

When mentioning this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen's original smile was restrained. He sighed helplessly, but did not explain much.

He also turned around and looked at the figure fighting hard below, his eyes were very complicated.

The battle below was still going on, and the atmosphere on the giant tree was a little quiet.

Ryosuke did not take the initiative to talk to Hinata, and Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak.

As time passed, the battle situation below began to change from being evenly matched.

Uchiha Sasuke's physical strength began to decline, and the amount of chakra was even insufficient.

He is still able to keep fighting now, relying entirely on what he has learned and his talent.

If it were an ordinary ninja, perhaps he would have lost the battle by now because of the changes in the battle situation.

But because of his inner pride, he always insisted on not admitting defeat.

"It looks like it's over."

But persistence is just persistence after all. As bystanders, the three of them knew that the outcome of the battle was already decided.

And it was at this time that Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again, "Naruto's strength is under my guidance. I am still very confident about his graduation assessment, but..."

"I am more hesitant about what kind of companions should be assigned to him after he officially becomes a ninja. I don't know what kind of companions can accept him."

"Little Ryosuke, have you considered applying for graduation early?"

Like an old man who was worried about whether his grandson would be bullied on the first day of kindergarten, he wanted to find a suitable teammate for Naruto.

But his words made Ryosuke alert.

"I need to accompany Hinata. She is the future head of the family. Protecting her growth is very important to our family. This is also what my father meant." He chuckled and replied. He had expected that Sarutobi Hiruzen would notice that his strength had been concealed.

Even without the insight and perspective of the Byakugan, a person's strength can still be judged based on other aspects.

But it is more difficult to detect the specific level.

So Ryosuke is not worried that Sarutobi Hiruzen will be more suspicious of them, the Hyuga, because of his talent.

Because at this time, Hinata's identity and the rules of the Hyuga will become his umbrella of protection.

"Really... That's a pity."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little disappointed. He took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Ryosuke, "After they finish fighting, give this scroll to Naruto and tell him to take the graduation test tomorrow."
