On the night of the full moon, Konoha's team to eliminate the feudal leaders walked calmly into the inner city of the Fire Country's Daimyo Castle.
All the defense networks along the way were infiltrated by intelligence, and Shikaku used shadow binding techniques to easily deal with the guards at the edge of the city.
Those who were not in the intelligence could not escape the two pairs of white eyes and would be taken down in minutes.
As for the Guardian Ninja Organization...the two and a half pairs of Mangekyo can't cause any waves.
Konoha is now the undisputed number one ninja village, and the strong men who came tonight are all among the top.
There is no need to sneak in like Black Zetsu did with White Zetsu's minions. They can just walk in normally and pull out the Fire Country Daimyo.
The daimyo was trembling all over from the cold air.
Could it be that the private curse was stolen by the ninja? Or was the contact with the three countries of the East Ocean exposed?
The daimyo began to reflect on the mistakes he had made, but it was impossible for him to get to such a point of falling out.
So he suppressed his fear and began to use his political means.
"Hokage-sama, is there any misunderstanding?
I believe that I have always been supportive of Konoha's development, and the funding provided each year is sufficient, and the amount of funding is even increased every year.
Did any villain tell you anything to slander me? "
In fact, he was roaring madly in his heart, what a bunch of ungrateful bastards, the world has become different since that bastard Kakashi seized power by force.
Now he has even done something that offends the dignity of the daimyo. He has truly evil intentions.
If I can survive... I would rather let the other four nations join forces to destroy Konoha Village than repeat the same mistake.
But...squeak!
There was a sound like a balloon being popped.
Kakashi dropped the kunai in his hand, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"Okay, hurry up, we still have an hour to complete the planned process."
From then on, the fate of the Fire Nation was in Konoha's own hands.
Chapter 85 Graduation
Time is like running water.
In the blink of an eye, it is already the 63rd year of Konoha.
Konoha Village, the center of the ninja world, has not had any plot for a long time.
Whether it is the multiple launches of lunar exploration spacecraft or the birthplace of various trends, they are all shining on the whole world in the place where three wars were fought.
Naruto put on his clothes, put on his forehead protector and went to the Ninja School. Today was his graduation day.
Looking back on his career in the ninja school over the past few years, he has many feelings.
After the attack by Obito, the boy still likes to act weird, which may be genetic.
But I did put in a lot of hard work in studying and training.
At least the academic performance is at a passing level, which is already very impressive.
He greeted the villagers and helped a few old ladies cross the road. It is said that this is the standard behavior of a passionate young man.
Naruto attracted a lot of people's attention when he entered the classroom. After all, his identity as the Hokage's direct disciple was still very intimidating. Of course, his strength and appearance also had an impact.
Apart from his bad taste in clothes and appearance, Naruto is still quite capable. How could the child of Minato Namikaze and Kushina be ugly?
But the naivety in his eyes still reduces his handsomeness.
The first thing I saw when I entered the classroom was the cool Sasuke.
"Facial paralysis."
"Stupid fox."
When the two looked at each other, there was a flash of lightning and thunder in their eyes.
As both are disciples of the Hokage and in the same class, it is impossible to say that there is no comparison.
In terms of overall combat power in the early stages, Naruto is slightly better.
Without the Nine-Tailed Fox causing trouble, the Uzumaki clan's bloodline is synonymous with power.
At this stage, chakra is still king for ninjas. Abundant chakra can enhance physical skills and resistance to illusions.
The powerful vitality brings foul-level endurance and resistance to impact.
It would be very difficult for anyone to defeat Naruto, who has a little bit of brains, in actual combat. After all, Naruto's cheats in the early stage were bigger than Sasuke's.
This made some people feel anxious. At a time when the average strength of ninjas was generally rising, it was really embarrassing that their sons did not have outstanding performance.
So in the last year, with the help of Fugaku, Naruto opened the single-magatama Sharingan, and the process was nothing more than a few bloody scripts.
At that time, Itachi was in the Kingdom of Wind launching the final reckoning against the conservative nobles, so he failed to stop it.
And it was not easy for Shisui to interfere in other people's family affairs. Besides, the clan leader did a good job of keeping secrets.
So it is better to let this child get my help in advance.
Itachi could only sigh when he found out. He wanted to wait for his brother to graduate and then send him to the Rain Country for a smooth awakening.
The most suitable path is to temper your will and mentality in the ninja school.
After rushing back home, he learned from his worried old father that Sasuke seemed to be one of the few emotionally stable people in the Uchiha clan.
There are several scripts with cruel routines, and the whole family is in trouble before the protagonist opens the magatama in anger.
Because of this, I even stayed in Konoha Hospital for a few days, which was very depressing.
What makes Fugaku sad is that among the Uchiha people, those who are emotionally stable are all signs of poor qualifications.
"Teacher Noah said that Sasuke is a gifted child."
"Father, please stop interfering in his life."
Itachi told Fugaku about this matter very seriously, saying that the traditional Uchiha path was not suitable for Sasuke.
Finally Fugaku compromised. After all, Lord Noah said that he had talent, so maybe his way of education was wrong.
Although Itachi's training plan was disrupted, Sasuke's strength also made a qualitative leap.
In the early stage, the only ones who could fight against Uzumaki were bloodlines of the same level, and the actual combat results finally reached the point where both sides won and lost.
Although his performance is still far behind that of Shisui and Itachi back then.
However, the Uchiha clan still hyped up their genius character and planned to solidify their title as the best in the ninja school.
When the Yin attribute chakra reaches the critical point, the Sharingan will awaken. Although it will make the emotions become somewhat unbalanced, the ability bonus is not fake.
It makes sense that those members of the Uchiha clan who opened their eyes during the ninja school were all geniuses.
The hype was forced to stop within a few days.
Despite this, Sasuke still didn't get first place in the overall exam. He was pinned to the ground by a pink-haired nerd in the cultural subjects.
Even the contemptuous look from that top student after every exam made Erzhuzi feel... powerless.
As expected, my destined opponent is a fool like Naruto.
At this point, Sasuke single-handedly ended the Uchiha clan's successive geniuses.
Now every time Naruto and Sasuke meet, it's like a clash of the titans, and this time will be no exception.
But before any argument could take place, Umino Iruka walked in.
There was no need to say anything. Everyone dispersed and returned to their seats to listen attentively.
This Dean of Studies is not a punching bag. He can beat anyone he wants in the ninja school.
The gorgeous water dragon washed almost every student.
"That's a very good spirit. First of all, congratulations to everyone. Class A has passed the written exam."
"Even though someone just stepped on the line."
Naruto lowered his head and said that he was able to pass the exam because his mother had paid for extra lessons in recent years.
He really seemed to be cursed with theoretical knowledge.
"As for the Ninjutsu and Taijutsu exams, the results were also very good, and many people received the favor of the instructors in advance."
At this time, the Ninja School would no longer use the Three Body Techniques for assessments, but all graduating students would pass this basic Ninjutsu.
Water treading and tree climbing are also advanced courses for students in school, as well as the control of scientific ninja tools and various vehicles.
The new generation in the peaceful era is accepting the changes of the times, and their future will definitely not be as simple as completing tasks.
After several class divisions and mergers, those who make it to Class A before graduation are the best of the new generation.
Especially this group of talents has exploded, and they are the most outstanding generation after Kakashi became the Fifth Hokage.
Except for not being as good as the few cheaters at the front, they were the elite among the elites in the past few years.
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes met again. Naruto lost that exam because of the Sharingan.
"Although I think you are still a group of children, your performance has made you an excellent candidate for ninja."
"Congratulations everyone, you... have graduated."
Iruka still felt a little uncomfortable when he announced the graduation of his students again.
It feels like my little one is about to spread his wings and fly high.
Being a ninja is not that easy.
Oh!!! Graduation!!!
The students cheered, celebrating that their boring student life was finally over and they could go out into the world and experience real ninja life.
Finally, they don't have to listen to the director's nagging every day. They are going to charge towards the position of the Sixth Hokage.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment and I'll tell you about the next arrangements."
"Okay, be quiet."
"Naruto, sit down."
"Ya, don't dance with the dog..."
"Quiet……"
"Water Style! Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!"
Iruka couldn't bear it anymore and suppressed these brats again.
Chapter 86 The Clouds of War
"The students whose names I read out next will form teams of three.
According to the village rules, we will work in teams under the guidance of our instructors to accept tasks. "
……
"Team 7, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke... Haruno Sakura."
Sakura Haruno was added to this group by Iruka against all odds.
Countless people who wanted to use the back door to insert juniors into this group were kicked out by the dean of studies.
The friendship between the three-person team is indeed worthy of the madness of the general ninja clan, but Director Iruka is not a pushover.
A special bond has been established between Naruto and Sasuke, and the third person has to act as a lubricant.
Not only that, it would be best if you can also provide leadership.
As a top student among ordinary people, Haruno Sakura is one of the few classmates who is respected in the eyes of the two young masters.
As for qualifications, they are not that important to Iruka. As long as he trains this girl seriously, her strength will not be too bad.
I was always a laggard in the past, but after being tempered by the will of fire, I have grown to where I am today.
