Chapter 142 Graduation Assessment
After putting on the mask, he seemed to feel bad and disappeared directly. He changed a spiral mask from somewhere and reappeared behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Seeing his actions, Umino Ikkaku remained silent. He naturally knew Sarutobi Shinnosuke.
He knew everyone in the Hokage-sama's family.
As a subordinate, it is reasonable for him to know how to lead the members of his family, right?
Umino Ikkaku thinks it makes sense.
As a subordinate, it is normal for him to care about the leader's family.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also noticed Sarutobi Shinnosuke's movements, but he did not stop him.
At this time, in the ninja school, Yuki Yuichi looked at the people taking the assessment in the ring, while Uchiha Obito and others were beside him and kept talking about things after graduation.
The assessment for early graduation is more difficult, but there is no pressure on them.
Uchiha Obito and Sarutobi Asuma were talking, Hatake Kakashi didn't speak next to them, just listened quietly, and Metkai looked at them with envy on his face.
Yuhi Kurenai approached Yuuki Yuichi and said, "Yuichi, I also want to graduate early."
Hearing this, Yuki Yu glanced at her, then solemnly shook his head and said: "No!"
"Uncle Zhenhong won't agree."
"And I don't agree with that either."
Hearing this, Yuhi Hong's little mouth pouted, with a look of discomfort on her face.
"Coco, I also want to protect Yuichi." Yuhi Hong murmured in a low voice. Hearing her words, Yuki Yuichi sighed. He really didn't want to graduate early.
Isn't it good to live peacefully in the ninja school?
If Uzumaki Kushina hadn't wanted to teach him the sealing technique, he wouldn't have considered such a thing.
Although he didn't know why he had to graduate early from studying the sealing technique, he still chose to believe in Uzumaki Kushina.
After all, there was no way she could harm an only child like herself.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others had already reached the entrance of the school and happened to encounter Namikaze Minato.
"Hokage-sama." Namikaze Minato smiled and greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen, then walked to Uzumaki Kushina and said, "Is it done?"
"Okay, it's done." Uzumaki Kushina smiled and spoke confidently.
It seemed that as long as she took action, there was nothing she couldn't do.
After hearing her words, Namikaze Minato also nodded.
Regarding Yuki Yuichi's early graduation, he and Uzumaki Kushina discussed it together.
Because the situation in the ninja world is not very good recently, Uzumaki Kushina is worried that Yuuki Yu may go directly to the battlefield as soon as she graduates.
So she discussed with Namikaze Minato to let him graduate early to give him some practical experience.
Otherwise, learning the sealing technique would not lead to early graduation.
You can study at school. Anyway, Yuki Yuichi skips class every morning. It's okay if he skips class in the afternoon as well.
Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato whispered, then frowned and said, "But is this really okay?"
"I can't get out of Konoha."
She said still a little worried.
As a Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, she could not leave the village, and she had even been restricted to move within certain limits for some time.
Although she had also gone on a mission, it was a long time ago.
Hearing her words, Namikaze Minato scratched his head, and then said: "Don't worry, it's okay."
His idea was to let Uzumaki Kushina take Yuki Yuichi with him when he was in the village to teach him the knowledge and study of sealing techniques, while he would take him on missions every now and then.
In this case, the two of them, Uzumaki Kushina and Yuuki Yuichi, would be completely safe.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was walking in front, looked at Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina who were muttering beside him, and he also had an idea in his mind.
Although he didn't know why Yuki Yuichi graduated early, it was probably because of Uzumaki Kushina's intention.
He originally planned to arrange for Namikaze Minato to become the leader of the Jonin in two years, but now it seems that he can achieve this goal first.
As for his previous promise to Uzumaki Kushina to let Yuki Yuichi work under her after graduation, there was no problem in his eyes.
Uzumaki Kushina can't leave the village now, so the two of them can serve as the leading jonin together.
Just now, including Yuuki Yuichi, aren't there three people graduating early?
Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha, Yuichi Yuuki.
The three of them trained together and now they have graduated early together, so it makes sense for them to be assigned to the same team.
As for Sarutobi Asuma, he didn't take it to heart.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke will handle it himself, there is no need for him to say anything.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression, but it could be seen from his clenched hands that he was not in a very good mood.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen thought, if Sarutobi Asma wanted to graduate, he would not be able to pass the hurdle.
As for Umino Kazuo, he followed at the back, occasionally looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and occasionally looking at Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, feeling filled with emotion.
The five people in the group each had their own ideas, but their ideas merged together.
By the time they entered the school, the final assessment here was almost over.
On the stage is the last student.
As for Yuki Yuichi, he simply admitted defeat when it was his turn.
They had decided to graduate early, but he had no idea of going to school.
Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito also followed suit and immediately admitted defeat.
"Hmph!" Sarutobi Asuma snorted, "I am the one who wants to graduate early!"
"I don't want to play house with them here!"
He said, crossing his arms, acting like God is the boss and I am the second child.
Uchiha Obito scratched his head beside him, "Isn't it bad for us to do this?"
"What's wrong?" Sarutobi Asuma said, pointing to the students who were overjoyed because they admitted defeat.
"It's a good thing for them that we admit defeat."
"That's true, but I still feel a little bad." Uchiha Obito still scratched his head.
When Yuki Yu heard what the two of them said, he glanced at them. Uchiha Obito was really a carefree and passionate idiot before he turned black.
And he's the kind of hot-blooded idiot who knows what's wrong.
While they were talking, Sarutobi Hiruzen led the four of them, Uzumaki Kushina, onto the high platform.
Looking at the students who were still taking assessments, they stood quietly on the high platform.
The students below saw him with keen eyes and frantically gestured to the people around him.
Soon, the news that Lord Hokage came to see their assessment spread throughout the school.
"It's so energetic." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the students below and couldn't help but sigh.
"They're just a bunch of brats." Uzumaki Kushina curled her lips noncommittally.
When he was a child in a ninja school, a group of people teased her about her red hair and was bullied. Although she later beat them back and beat them every time they met, she didn't have a good impression of the students of the ninja school.
When the final exam was over, Umino Ikkaku shouted directly to the students below: "Yuichi Yuuki, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake and Asuma Sarutobi!"
"You four come on stage! Hokage-sama has approved your application for early graduation."
As his words fell, the students below were dumbfounded.
Graduating early?
Someone actually graduated early? !
You must know that some people can't even pass the normal graduation examination, let alone the extremely difficult examination to graduate early!
Everyone knows the requirements for early graduation, but they don’t dare to try.
After hearing Umino Ikkaku's words, Yuki Yuichi and the four of them looked at each other, and then jumped directly to the stage.
Seeing the four of them coming out, Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed lightly, looked at Sarutobi Asuma calmly, and then said: "You are all geniuses, and geniuses do not need to grow up like other people."
"Following the normal training process will be a drag on you."
"So there is an early graduation assessment,"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said, glanced at them, and then continued: "You are geniuses recognized by me!"
"So, I decided to give you four the most difficult test!"
As he spoke, he gestured to Sarutobi Shinnosuke beside him.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't hesitate at all and jumped directly from the high platform to the ring.
Yuki Yuichi and the others looked at the ANBU wearing a spiral mask in front of them, and they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
When Sarutobi Asuma had a sudden thought in his mind, he felt that the ANBU opposite him was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember exactly how familiar it was.
So he attributed it to the ANBU he had seen before.
There was no doubt that this was his biological brother.
He still doesn't know what his brother is doing. He only knows that he goes out early and comes back late every day, so naturally he has no thoughts about ANBU.
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came again.
"Your graduation assessment is very simple."
"If a single person persists for ten minutes under the attack of this Anbu, he will only be able to use various Chunin methods."
"You can also choose to work in pairs, but you have to endure his attack for half an hour."
"During the battle, if you lose the ability to move, it will be regarded as a failure in the assessment."
"So start making your choices."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped talking after he finished speaking.
Umino Ikkaku stood not far from him. When he heard this rule, he took a breath and said involuntarily: "Hokage-sama, does this rule hit them too hard?"
"They are still children." Umino Ikkaku said. He was a chuunin, so he naturally knew that it would take less than ten minutes for a chuunin to fight against a ninja student or even a genin.
The Kage is the leading force in the village, the Jonin is the backbone of the village, and the Chuunin is the backbone.
Genin and ninja students are the basis.
It would be easy for a chuunin to kill a genin, or even a genin team.
Hearing his words, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, "You have to have some confidence in your students."
"Have faith in them."
He also knew that this assessment rule was a bit excessive, but this was Yuichi Yuki and Kakashi Hatake.
Not counting the two of them, there were also Uchiha Obito and Sarutobi Asuma.
Uchiha Obito is an Uchiha ninja who possesses two Magatama Sharingan and has mastered the use of Fire Release Ninjutsu and Sharingan.
His strength is already that of a chuunin.
As long as you can keep up with actual combat, it will be easy to pass this test.
Even if he has no actual combat experience, as long as he can dodge and delay, it will not be difficult to pass the test.
As for Sarutobi Asuma, although he is the Hokage and does not have a good relationship with his father and son, he still pays close attention to him.
Sarutobi Asuma, who has mastered the fire escape and high flame techniques, and the wind escape chakra mode, also has strength far beyond that of the genin.
These are still the two weakest among the four of them.
If it were Yuki Yuichi and Hatake Kakashi, he could only say that even jonins would die if they were not careful.
The huge pothole on the outskirts of Konoha was still there.
Whether it's the ninjutsu called Super Whirlpool Rasengan or the ninjutsu called Kirin, they are both forbidden techniques.
Not to mention a Jonin, even a Kage-level expert would die if he was accidentally attacked by a sneak attack.
On the stage, Yuichi Yuki and Kakashi Hatake looked at each other, and then said, "Obito and I are a couple, and you and Asuma?"
"Or we can go one-on-one with the four of us."
As he spoke, he looked at Uchiha Obito and Sarutobi Asuma.
Hearing his words, Uchiha Obito looked at the ANBU wearing the spiral mask and couldn't help but swallowed, "Let Yuichi and I have a duel."
"Asuma, how are you and this guy Kakashi?"
Hatake Kakashi glanced at him, and finally turned his attention to Sarutobi Asuma.
Feeling the gazes of the three people, Sarutobi Asuma was silent for a moment, then clasped his hands and said, "I'll be alone!"
"I want to prove to that old guy that I, Asuma, can pass the test even if I rely on myself!"
He naturally understood that Yuuki Yuichi's proposal was to take care of him and Uchiha Obito, but he chose not to want this help.
Under the watchful eye of the old guy at home, he wanted to pass the test alone to prove that Asuma Sarutobi could pass the test in advance and become a genin even if he didn't rely on the Hokage or his family!
Hearing his words, Kakashi Hatake nodded, "You and I will play one-on-one, and Obito and Yuichi will form a team."
Uchiha Obito looked at Sarutobi Asuma, he wanted to speak but stopped talking, he stopped talking again, but in the end he didn't speak.
Although he had no brains, he also knew about the conflicts between Sarutobi Asuma and his family.
This is his belief and cannot be dissuaded.
He was also moved by Sarutobi Asuma's words, and he also wanted to try his own strength.
However, he gave up the idea when he saw the spiral-masked ANBU calmly watching the four of them across from him.
Under Yuuki Yuichi's subtle influence, although he is still careless, he has learned to play it safe.
Moreover, the double assessment can also prove his strength, so there is no rush.
Seeing that they seemed to have reached an agreement, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took a step forward, lowered his voice to avoid being recognized by his rebellious brother, and said, "Which one of you will come first?"
"I'll go first!" Sarutobi Asuma took a step forward, "I choose to fight alone!"
