Chapter 66 [Graduation From Ninja School]

The moon that sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki continued to rise and fall.

Time also passed quietly.

Until the ninja's graduation exam.

"Eh? Did even Naruto learn the clone technique?" Inuzuka Kiba was a little surprised. He remembered that Naruto was least good at the clone technique in the past.

Unexpectedly, the progress has been rapid in the past six months.

"No, that's the art of multiple shadow clones." Nara Shikamaru added.

He could probably guess that the village began to train Naruto in the past six months.

Nara Shikamaru had seen Naruto and Sasuke practicing together with Ebisu before.

It was probably through Ebisu that Ninjutsu was taught to Naruto.

'A simple seal that requires a lot of chakra is really suitable for Naruto. ’ Nara Shikamaru thought in his mind.

But then he realized that even Naruto, who secretly made up lessons, had made such great progress, so what was the level of Rock, who had gone to follow ANBU's guidance before?

Unfortunately, Nara Shikamaru looked around and did not see Rock.

Because Rock had already graduated under the rule of law half a year ago, so if you want to see him, you probably have to wait until you are divided into classes.

…

Hokage's office.

The people surrounding the desk were the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the other three advisors, Shimura Danzo, Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu.

"Hiruzen, it's time to separate classes! You can't delay it any longer!"

"Few ordinary ninjas can keep up with Rock. We cannot delay other Konoha children." Danzo said.

Danzo took out Sai's information: "But I happen to have two good seedlings here, and they can team up with Rock."

"I can also recruit an outstanding ninja from the roots to be their guiding jounin."

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen put the pipe into his mouth, and along with the smoke, he gradually spit out two words: "No!"

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! You don't want Rock to join the ninja class, and you want him to take the chunin exam alone? There is very little precedent for this in Konoha!"

Danzo's face was gloomy: "The laws of our ancestors are immutable. Do you want to go against the teacher's will of fire?"

Hiruzen looked at Danzo angrily. The other party first proposed placing people in the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki's class today.

After being rejected, he proposed to assign Rock to the root class.

It's a good idea, but having to make a plate of nine-turn large intestine would be disgusting to me, right?

At this point, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to use a trick. He placed the Rock Growth Report that Yamato handed him yesterday on the table for the reference of these Hokage advisors.

Mito Kaden was the first to open the information, and the first thing that caught his eye was——

"Wood Dragon Technique? This child has actually mastered the Wood Dragon Technique?" He shouted immediately.

What?

Danzo was shocked after hearing this!

Having met the First Hokage, he certainly knew what the Wood Dragon Technique was. Even Yamato, who was valued by him, failed to successfully perform the Wood Dragon Technique.

did not expect……

He hurriedly took the information into his hands and looked at it carefully!

hateful! The acquisition of root information is still too slow! Danzo thought through gritted teeth.

But then his eyes lit up again, and he said to everyone: "Hiruzhan, it would be too wasteful for this child to be placed in the ordinary class. Why not hand him over to..."

"It's better to hand him over to the ANBU!! It's perfect for Sarutobi to guide him!" Mito Kadoyan suddenly interrupted Danzo's words.

no? What's the matter with you?

You fucking Sarutobi dog!

Danzo's fist hardened.

Mito Kadoyan looked up at the sky, his eyes full of emotion, and continued: "I have seen this child, he is a ninja with an indestructible will of fire!"

"I see the shadow of the first Hokage in him. Maybe he has the potential to become the next generation of Hokage."

Danzo's eyes suddenly widened.

Why do you feel like you understand Roark better than me?

"No! Danzo is right!" Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, and he sighed: "I promised Rock to train him to participate in the Chunin Exam six months ago, but now I can't give him the training. He found the right teammates."

What are you pretending to be?

Looking for my roots?

Didn’t I just recommend two root experts?

Danzo carried Risasai's information.

"But letting him take the Chunin Exam alone would really go against the traditions of Konoha. I really don't want to do that..."

"Hiruzhan! Have you forgotten the oath you made to protect Konoha?"

At this time, Koharu suddenly stood up and said, "You have to take care of the overall situation of Konoha! It has only been more than ten years since the end of the Third World War. Have you forgotten the political threat that Kumogakure Village posed to us?"

Sarutobi's expression suddenly changed and he said hurriedly: "Of course I haven't forgotten."

After turning to bed, Koharu nodded: "That time we sacrificed the brother of the Hyuga clan leader! Why? Isn't it because he, Kumo Hidden, relied on his own strength to bully me, the strongest in Konoha!"

"Now we have Wood Release! And the Chuunin Exam is a good opportunity to show our strength to outsiders! It's time to use Wood Release to remind them who created the Ninja Village system!"

Danzo: "..."

"But - alas!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "It seems that for the sake of the overall situation of Konoha, I have to go against Konoha's tradition this time!"

"From today on, Rock will become the first Anbu trainee."

"Rock's first Anbu mission is to demonstrate the strength of the Wood Release in this Chunin exam! And be promoted to Chunin."

"I will appoint him as a formal Anbu later."

The three of them agreed to define the matter.

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office was hot and everyone was full of fighting spirit.

Only Danzo felt chilled.

He finally realized that these three people were in the same group!

They are playing me!

"Danzo, what do you think of this proposal?" Sarutobi suddenly turned to look at Danzo.

"Haha, you are right!" Danzo gritted his teeth: "After all, everything is for Konoha."

That's right!

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two burst into laughter.

...

Root base.

Danzo returned to the base and looked at his subordinates calmly: "Have you checked it out?"

"It's clear." The root member bowed and replied: "Many people in the Senju clan are optimistic about Rock and have helped Rock find many senior ninjas. Even the Hokage advisor Utane Koharu went to the Senju clan a few days ago."

Although the Senju clan gave up their surname, they are still there.

Not only Rock, if it was Tsunade, she would probably be helped by them as well.

Danzo nodded and continued to ask: "What else?"

"The Ino-Shika-Chou, represented by the Yamanaka clan, also expressed their optimism about Rock's potential. Elder Mitomon En also visited the Yamanaka clan a few days ago."

Not surprising.

Danzo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the same as he thought.

As long as this group of old people are not determined to stand on Sarutobi's side and deliberately go against me, it's fine.

"Sarutobi, you are right! Everything is for Konoha!" Danzo slowly closed his eyes in the shadows.

"And you... are no longer suitable to be the helmsman of this ship!"
