Chapter 67 [I Will Never Lose to You]

The next day.

Konoha was another busy day.

The students of the Ninja School began to be divided into classes today and officially became Genin.

The current ninja training system is usually led by a Jonin or a Chunin to three Genin, and they take on tasks in the form of a class.

The quality of the leading Jonin usually represents the importance the village attaches to you.

The Ino-Shika-Chou class is led by the Sarutobi direct descendant, and the leader of the Hyuga family's eldest daughter is also Yuhi Kurenai, who was personally selected by the head of the Hyuga family.

As for Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, their leader is the former Anbu Jonin, Hatake Kakashi.

On the rooftop, the 7th team, who met for the first time, also introduced themselves for the first time.

On the tree trunk in the distance.

Two ninjas who looked like Anbu were observing the 7th team in the distance.

Yamato turned his head and looked at Rock beside him: "It seems that the top management has considered arranging you into the 7th team."

"Then it's great that they can change their minds." Rock gently put the cat-shaped mask he got on his face.

"After all, if I join Team 7, it would be a bit cruel for Naruto."

The so-called Jinchuriki Team in the original work, apart from the Jinchuriki, is two Sharingan that control the tailed beasts, and a child who has a good impression of the Jinchuriki.

Team 7 is completely built around Naruto.

If it is Rock, with Wood Release plus his relationship with Naruto, he can completely replace Sakura as a member of Team 7.

But... two Sharingan plus a Wood Release, this configuration is a bit malicious.

What's more, joining Team 7 may be a good thing for Sakura, an ordinary civilian ninja, but it may not be for Rock.

Because joining Team 7 means that in the eyes of the Konoha high-level officials, he is still a vassal of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and his position is a Wood Release ninja that exists to suppress the tailed beasts.

Now that Rock can be separated from Naruto, it shows that in the eyes of the high-level officials, his position has nothing to do with the Nine-Tails, but is an independent core to be cultivated as the next generation of the village.

He can suppress the tailed beasts, but he is not a thug with the Nine-Tails as the core.

Just like after the death of the Third Hokage, when Tsunade was in power, Kakashi's political status was also improved, from a thug to the acting Hokage of the village.

Yamato nodded, indicating his approval of Rock's words.

Naruto had no one behind him, so he could only let the top leaders arrange it.

And Rock... Yamato still doubts Rock's theory of the illegitimate son of the Hokage.

Because not long ago, the Senju clan also looked for him as a jonin, hoping that he could say a few words for Rock in the jonin council and fight for resources.

Yamato was a survivor of the Wood Release experiment, and he was also half a Senju clan member. In addition to his relationship with Rock, he would naturally help if he could.

With someone to help, Rock would certainly not encounter any troubles. After all, power brings fairness first, not privilege.

With the support of power, no one can treat him unfairly.

But Yamato thought of Rock's Wood Dragon Technique again...

But the most important thing is that Rock himself is competitive enough.

"Ahem, it's time for us to go." Yamato coughed twice and broke free from his thoughts.

"Our new team has just been established. Don't we need to grab bells or something?"

"..." Yamato was silent for a moment, then said: "Don't bother me anymore, just focus on the tasks later."

"Yesterday you told me that I only needed to consider the Chunin Exam, but today you're going to squeeze employees..."

"You said you wanted to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique." Yamato was also helpless: "To exchange for ninjutsu, you have to accumulate a certain number of tasks."

He had no choice, even the little sun Minato at the time, had accumulated a lot of tasks before he was qualified to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Rock has no task record yet, so he can't just ignore the rules blatantly.

"And the task is very simple, just secretly take care of the ninja disciples in this ninja class..."

"This is already a very easy task."

"The first thing we have to do is to get familiar with our protection targets." Yamato sorted out the tasks for Rock.

In fact, it was the three protagonist classes of this year.

They were basically Rock's classmates.

"No, they will pick up trash, I will watch them pick up trash in secret."

"No... Each class will carry out at least one C-level mission. There are four other Anbu who will carry out the mission at the same time. We will form a team of two to protect one of the classes."

Yamato continued: "I personally recommend Team 7. Senior Kakashi is a very reliable ninja. He is nicknamed Copy Ninja in the Ninja World and his strength ranks first among the leaders of these three classes."

"With him, there will be no accidents in the mission."

"Not to mention it's just an ordinary C-level mission."

Rock: "..."

This is not an accident!

"Forget it... I think it's better to change the target."

Yamato was a little confused. Is the title of Copy Ninja no longer useful?

"Let's go and see Yamanaka Ino's class." Rock chose a new target.

He was still very interested in the "Come and Welcome Thousand Hands Kill" of the Fire Temple.

And there are not many people who can do this trick. Yamanaka Ino's leader Asuma Sarutobi happened to be one of them.

He always felt that this move was somewhat similar to the style of "Kizaru in the Ninja World", which was Naruto's chakra fighting method in the later period, which materialized chakra into golden chakra fists to attack the opponent at super speed.

"The Ino-Shika-Chou class? That's fine." Yamato was a little disappointed. He wanted to show off his disciples in front of Kakashi, but it seemed that he could only wait until the Chunin Exam.

"Then let's go. The opponent should not have disbanded yet."

Rock stood up, and with a "bang", accompanied by smoke, he disappeared instantly.

...

On the rooftop in the distance.

After notifying that there would be another final test tomorrow, Kakashi disappeared.

After learning about it, Sasuke and Naruto also left the rooftop and began their final training.

Only Sakura looked curiously at the direction where Rock was just now.

Her Rock radar told her that Rock seemed to be there just now.

'Is it my illusion? '

Having not seen Rock for half a year, Sakura originally wanted to replenish Rock's energy.

As a result, Rock did not come to the class meeting today, which made Sakura a little frustrated. She was originally expecting that she could be assigned to the same class as Rock...

"But fortunately, he was not assigned to the same class as Ino." Sakura was somewhat relieved.

Yamanaka Ino——

The woman who was closest to Rock because the Yamanaka family adopted Rock!

The woman who said with a smug look on her face that Rock was her child husband!

The woman who took advantage of her family's wealth and power to treat Rock as a housekeeper and train him at will!

It's really enviable... disgusting!

This evil Yamanaka kid!

When Sakura thought of her beloved boy being brutally occupied by that woman using her power, she felt that even breathing was mixed with pain.

"I want to become stronger, stronger than the Yamanaka family!" She panted in pain, her fingers gently stroking her forehead protector.

This forehead protection was tied on her forehead by the boy himself when she was mocked for having a wide forehead when she was a child...

She can only pull the boy out of the quagmire of the Yamanaka family if she becomes strong enough.

"Our bond must not be tarnished by a fellow like you."
