[Konoha Village]
[Ninja School]
After the elite class was opened, the number of people gradually increased.
Based on what it originally had, it added Ino–Shika–Cho, Kiba, Shino, Ajisai, Tenten, Shion,
More than two years went by, and the elite class had also reached the time to graduate.
In Rengoku's plan, the time in the ninja school could be fully compressed into 2–3 years.
If someone still couldn't graduate after such a long time, it could only be said that this person didn't have the talent to become a ninja.
And today was the time for this group of children to be divided into squads.
The prerequisite for the squad division was no longer the Three Basic Jutsu, but to show the ninjutsu one could use.
"Multi Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto crossed his hands, bang! bang! bang! bang!
Following four sounds of smoke, four shadow clones appeared on the training ground.
'Wow…'
The students below all let out cries of amazement.
Rengoku never hid things while teaching, and even high-level ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique had been taught.
But unsurprisingly, except for Naruto and Karin, no one else could learn it.
Or rather, in terms of chakra, they simply couldn't support the consumption of the Shadow Clone Technique.
As for the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, only Naruto could bear it.
Naruto demonstrated the Multi Shadow Clone Technique.
Sasuke nearby quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Style, Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
He puffed up his chest and fired off a series of fireballs.
Very quickly, all seven targets opposite him were ignited.
Hotaru formed a seal with her hands.
"Water Style, Wild Water Wave!"
A large amount of water was sprayed from her mouth, immediately putting out all the flames on the targets.
Haku formed a one-hand seal.
"Thousand Killing Water Spears!"
With a wave of his hand, ice needles instantly formed nearby and flew toward Hinata opposite him.
Hinata activated Byakugan, twisted her hand with a shake, countless fist shadows punching out, knocking all the ice needles away.
Tenten, moving while she went, summoned a considerable number of ninja tools from her scroll and threw them towards Neji.
Neji activated Byakugan, continuously weaving through the ninja tools, or knocking them away.
But as the number of tools Tenten threw gradually increased, Neji took a step forward and spread out both hands.
All of the chakra points inside his body released a great amount of chakra, his body spinning.
Rotation!
Immediately, the chakra formed a shield, covering Neji, bouncing all the ninja tools away.
The other elite class members also one after another showcased their own ninjutsu.
Only Yakumo, Shion, Karin, and Gaara were standing outside and did not move.
There was some envy in Yakumo's eyes, but her emotions were still rather stable.
Because her Soul Nurturing had ended and she had successfully hatched Ido.
This Ido was not the same as the Ido hatched by the mentally twisted version of her in the original timeline.
During Yakumo's Soul Nurturing stage, she had always maintained physical and mental health.
The Ido hatched now was a phantom spirit, without any form.
The newly hatched Ido already had the ability to instantly kill ordinary people, and even to affect the five senses of a ninja, and could also help Yakumo increase the power when she cast genjutsu.
This was undoubtedly a great thing for Yakumo.
With Orochimaru's intervention, although her body still wasn't that strong, it was much better than in the original timeline where she would faint as soon as she got agitated.
Shion and Karin were in the same situation; they were both good at sealing jutsu and formations, not suitable for demonstrations.
The two of them watched their classmates demonstrating all kinds of ninjutsu, clapping and cheering at the side.
Karin's personality liked lively things, and Shion likewise had become cheerful thanks to Karin.
Anyway, with her mother right by her side, for Shion it was only a change of living environment.
Besides, Konoha, such a lively place, was much better than the Land of Demons.
Not only was there more good food and more fun things, the most important was that there were many friends.
Gaara was not someone from Konoha. Ultimately, he was just a captive.
Rengoku's excuse outwardly was that it was easier to monitor a jinchuriki nearby.
It was impossible for him to graduate, and also impossible to be assigned into any squad to do missions with others.
Gaara looked a little gloomy. Having been here for more than two years, from worry and rejection to acceptance and liking this place.
Here he felt cared for, felt loved. But he still didn't belong here.
Rengoku stood in a corner at this time, watching the growth of these little brats in the field, nodding in satisfaction.
These were all successors of the major clans, completely different from ordinary civilian cannon fodder.
The time in the ninja school could be cut in half directly.
Facts proved that Rengoku had brought it forward by more than two years, and this group still graduated just the same.
And their graduation results were of the kind that could be shown proudly.
For civilian children, it would indeed be quite difficult to reach this level.
"All right, everyone present is qualified. From today on, you are all genin," Rengoku clapped his hands and announced the graduation of this elite class.
"Oh!"
"That's great!"
"Awesome!"
Although their strength was not bad, their self-awareness was still not very clear.
Hearing that they could graduate in advance, each of them was all smiles.
"Return to the classroom, we'll begin squad division in a moment and assign you your team leader," At Rengoku's instruction, everyone one after another headed toward the classroom.
Gaara hesitated a little under his feet.
Naruto shouted beside him, "Gaara, hurry up, what are you waiting for."
Gaara suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, nodded and followed Naruto.
Rengoku saw Gaara's internal hesitation and smiled slightly.
———
In the class, most people were curious who would become their teammate and who would become their instructor.
Naruto had grown a little taller and his body had shot up a bit.
With Kushina's companionship, Naruto's childhood gradually became complete.
Although Kushina had not yet revealed any news about Minato, Naruto wisely didn't ask.
He already guessed that his father must have died.
But having a mother in his life already made Naruto very satisfied.
Because of the Hyuga clan's indulgence, nobody knew that in Naruto's house there was still a Kushina.
Kushina was no longer always sticking to Naruto.
Sometimes she used the Transformation Technique to go buy groceries or to discuss sealing jutsu with Miroku.
Naruto was physically and mentally healthy now, and his overall spirit was extremely good.
He sat in his seat and curiously asked, "Sasuke, do you think we'll be assigned into the same squad?"
Sasuke crossed his arms on the table, "It doesn't matter who's in my squad. I only care who will be my team leader."
It was very normal for Sasuke to think about this question. His teacher was the Uchiha clan leader, the strongest Uchiha in the ninja world, Rengoku.
Whoever became his team leader, there would be a sense of disparity for Sasuke.
Karin unwrapped a candy and stuffed a piece of crispy candy into her mouth, and said unclearly, "Sasuke, don't worry, you'll definitely be very satisfied."
Hearing Karin's words, Sasuke looked at her curiously.
Karin took the candy out of her mouth and looked at Sasuke with shining eyes.
Even Naruto beside her could understand the expression on her face.
'Come beg me. If you beg me I'll tell you.'
