Chapter 68 When the Elders Lecture You, Just Say Yes.
"...You don't want to graduate early, do you?"
Hinata seemed a little silent all the way home.
Ryosuke could see what she was thinking at a glance.
"I... Hey."
Hinata looked up and was about to hide something, but faced with Ryosuke's eyes, she smiled awkwardly.
"Don't think about it, it's impossible."
She was about to scold her harshly, but under this smile, Ryosuke changed his words to "The graduation assessment that you applied for on your own initiative is different from the group assessment arranged by the school. Besides, your father won't agree to it. Give up."
"Oh..."
Hinata puffed up her face and muttered, feeling a little unwilling.
But soon, she regained her good mood and jumped up.
It was just a momentary impulse. She knew that she was still a long way from Sasuke and Naruto.
Ryosuke shook his head helplessly, but after her reminder, he seemed to understand why Naruto in the original book failed to graduate twice.
There are two ways to graduate from the Ninja School. One is that the school teacher confirms that most of the students of the same level have the ability to graduate, and then starts the group assessment.
This assessment does not distinguish between elite classes and ordinary classes, so it usually takes a long time. Generally, the group graduation assessment is held between the ages of ten and twelve.
The content of the assessment is just some very basic theoretical knowledge, or the three-body technique.
But as the first village to propose ninja education, Konoha certainly cannot have only the time-consuming way of outputting talents such as group graduation. This is only for ordinary ninjas.
The other is the graduation assessment of self-application, which is for geniuses with ninja talent, so this kind of difficulty will be greater.
In general, this kind of difficult self-application for graduation will let the village's Genin act as test questions and fight with the applicants.
Regardless of whether they are defeated or not, the examiners will score according to the actual performance in the battle, and those who pass the score will graduate successfully.
Therefore, the ninjas who can successfully complete graduation through the second path are all extremely talented ninjas without exception.
Like Hatake Kakashi, who entered school at the age of five, graduated in the same year, and became a Chunin at the age of six, and Uchiha Itachi, who entered school at the age of six and graduated at the age of seven, each of them is a gifted child with all kinds of talents.
In the original work, Naruto was very likely to apply for early graduation in order to gain attention, but failed twice, which led to him graduating in the same class and year with Uchiha Sasuke and others after failing to graduate twice.
However... Naruto in this timeline is very strong, and he should be able to become a Genin smoothly tomorrow, as long as the Third Hokage does not embarrass him and secretly arranges an opponent with the strength of a Jonin but wearing a Genin forehead protector for him.
Click.
Hinata suddenly stopped and pulled Ryosuke out of his thoughts.
He turned his head in confusion and looked at the girl beside him who was restraining her smile and pretending to be cool.
"Master Ryosuke, Miss Hinata."
At this time, a voice sounded in the distance.
Turning his gaze towards the direction of the Hyuga clan, Ryosuke discovered that there was a figure standing at the entrance of the clan, waiting for them.
"Promotion successful?"
Approaching this person, looking at her forehead protector and ninja protective gear that were different from before, Ryosuke chuckled and said, "Congratulations."
In front of him was Hyuga Xingcai, who had accepted the task of the Jonin assessment some time ago and ventured out of the village.
Whether it was Xingcai or Souji, they themselves had strength and character that were not inferior to Jonin. They had been on the battlefield and stayed at the level of Chunin for a long time, so it was natural for them to pass this assessment.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master Ryosuke."
Hinata Hoshicai said politely, and handed over another list, "This is what you asked me to do before. I recorded it in this scroll while I was on the mission."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ryosuke took the scroll silently, but did not start to check it immediately, "What are your plans for the near future? Do you want to continue to be the bodyguard for Hinata and me?"
He looked at Hinata Hoshicai and asked.
"Of course!"
Hinata Hoshicai nodded happily.
Ryosuke chuckled at her, "That's it, I may occasionally give you something troublesome to do."
"Just tell me."
Hinata Xingcai replied without hesitation, "But... what about that boy Souji? He won't... fail, right?"
"He has completed his mission some time ago and returned, but now he has left Konoha and gone to Kyoto to take up the post of guardian ninja." Ryosuke explained, "Let's go back first."
"Yes."
"Father, I need you to help me find a few people."
After dinner, Ryosuke hesitated and came to the study.
Sitting at the desk, under the dim light, Hinata Hiashi raised his head, waiting for his next words in confusion.
"These are the people I circled on this list." Ryosuke handed over a scroll with both hands, "These clansmen are all proficient in medical ninjutsu, and they don't have much ill will towards our clan."
"Medical ninja... Is there something wrong with your body? Is it because of the Byakugan?"
When it comes to medical treatment, Hyuga Hiashi frowned, revealing a lot of worry in his expression.
"No, it's not my body, it's actually like this..."
Unable to bear this kind of warm family affection, Ryosuke smiled awkwardly and talked about what happened on the way back from Kyoto with some entanglement.
To be honest, in addition to being afraid of being confined, part of the reason for hiding this matter from Hyuga Hiashi was that he was a little unwilling to face Hyuga Hiashi after hearing about this matter.
Bang!
As expected, after listening to him talk about the matter of killing Uchiha with a gloomy face, Hyuga Hiashi directly slapped the desk in half.
The scrolls, pens, and papers on the desk were scattered all over the floor.
The desk lamp fell directly to the ground, losing its already weak light.
The unlit study suddenly lost all light.
However, even in the dark, Ryosuke and the others could clearly see each other with their Byakugan.
"Nonsense!"
Hinata Hiashi gritted his teeth and said, "I asked you to go out for training to see the world, not to arrange some tests for yourself and put yourself in trouble!"
"I was wondering why there was such a long gap between the time you left Kyoto City and the time you returned to the village. Well, it turns out that you are making fun of yourself? Or are you kidding yourself with your life!"
"...But I have arranged everything." Ryosuke replied weakly.
"Just you? Can you guarantee that you have made every possible effort? What if the attackers were not one jonin and two chuunins, but three jonin!"
"Then...then we retreated while we were observing on the cliff. I will not fight a battle without any chance of winning."
"What if they found out before you did? You won't even have a chance to resist!"
"...We have Byakugan and we guessed in advance that the other party might attack us, so we slowed down all the way and took turns to use Byakugan to observe the surrounding situation, just to be able to see their traces in advance."
"You...you!"
Hinata Hiashi was so angry that his fists were shaking. "Do you know the danger of doing this!"
"...I have already estimated the possible dangers and ways to deal with them, and I have planned the evacuation route. If we really can't win, we are sure to leave."
Boom!
There was another roar, and every word was rejected by Ryosuke. Hinata Hiashi was so angry that he kicked the lamp.
The lamp, which had already lost its light, was directly kicked to pieces by this kick.
