Chapter 15 Early Graduation
In a fully enclosed meeting room in the Konoha Hokage Building.
Early in the morning, Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned Uchiha Itachi, and also called in Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu, the two Hokage Advisors.
Of course, he also sent someone to notify Danzo.
However, he had not appeared yet.
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought Danzo was busy transplanting Shisui's eyes, so he decided not to wait, planning to ask him for the full story later.
As for the content of this discussion, it was naturally the death of Uchiha Shisui.
"Regarding Shisui's matter, I am very sorry. It was I who put too much pressure on that child, which caused him to choose the path of suicide for the Village and to prevent an internal war in Konoha."
First, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Uchiha Shisui a high compliment, appearing deeply distressed.
This deeply moved Uchiha Itachi. He knelt on one knee on the ground and bowed his head, saying, "Hokage-sama, you are too kind."
"Shisui was a core figure among the young people of the Uchiha Clan. His suicide led to a sudden sharp decrease in the Uchiha Clan's combat power and morale. This was Shisui's own choice."
"From the result, it curbed the budding rebellion." Utatane Koharu narrowed her eyes, then changed the subject abruptly, saying, "However, Danzo sent a message saying that someone in the Uchiha Clan now suspects you killed Shisui and took his eyes."
"Danzo..." Uchiha Itachi clenched his five fingers, suppressing the anger in his heart, and explained, "Both Shisui and I were thinking for the benefit and future of the Uchiha Clan. That is just some ill-intentioned people making groundless accusations."
At this point, Uchiha Itachi's voice became heavier, "Shisui didn't even appear at the agreed location..."
Seeing anger welling up in Uchiha Itachi's heart, the situation was likely to spiral out of control.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was well aware of Shisui's death, quickly changed the subject: "Regarding this point, I have no doubt. Itachi, like Shisui, is an inheritor of the fire will.
As Itachi said, that is just some ill-intentioned people making groundless accusations.
Itachi, you may leave first.
The Village will not forget everything Shisui did.
Now that Shisui is gone, we still need you to look after the Uchiha side."
"Thank you very much." Uchiha Itachi respectfully responded and got up to leave.
Watching Uchiha Itachi's departing figure, Utatane Koharu said with some dissatisfaction, "Hiruzen, why are you speaking up for Uchiha Itachi? He is highly suspected in Shisui's death."
Homura Mitokado interjected, "Koharu is right. Uchiha Itachi is no longer trustworthy."
"Now that the Village has finally stabilized, the Uchiha Clan still needs Itachi's care. It's not suitable to provoke conflict." Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitched. He couldn't possibly tell them that Shisui's matter was his design, carried out by Danzo, could he?
"But we can't let Uchiha Itachi act alone." Utatane Koharu retorted.
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment and said, "I know. Regarding the Uchiha Clan, I will send others to monitor them."
"Do you already have a candidate?" Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu both looked surprised at the words.
"Yes, it's Fujiwara's child, Fujiwara Chiye. Because he saved Uchiha Izumi, who was the same age as him, during the Nine-Tailed Fox Incident, their relationship grew closer. Therefore, he has been able to frequently enter and exit the Uchiha Clan over the past six years. If he takes over Shisui's work to monitor the Uchiha Clan's situation, it won't arouse any suspicion."
Hiruzen Sarutobi clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought Fujiwara Chiye's information.
The two Hokage Advisors looked at it, and Utatane Koharu suddenly realized, "This child has a clean background, and his ideological awareness is also good. He's a good choice, but he hasn't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, has he?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "You can rest assured about that. This child has a very good foundation, and his strength has already reached the graduation level. He has never stopped training for a moment. He's just relatively low-key. With a little cultivation, his future is promising."
Hearing this, Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu exchanged glances, noncommittal, "Then let him graduate early. Anyway, there's no point in keeping him in the Ninja Academy for the next year. But who do you plan to make his squad leader?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said, "Let Yuhi go. Yuhi doesn't have any missions recently. Then, from the two Genin who failed last year's Chunin Exams, select two to form a squad with Yuhi and Qianye."
"Let them test Qianye's specific strength, and then train for a period of time. As long as he reaches the minimum standard for Anbu, he will be recruited into Anbu to serve as an undercover agent monitoring the Uchiha."
"Graduation?" Qianye looked at the Chunin teacher with some surprise.
The Chunin teacher smiled, "Yes, Qianye, you have now mastered the Clone Jutsu, and you are excellent in all other aspects. I am proud of you. Congratulations on your graduation."
"Graduation is fine. But didn't this school year just begin?" Qianye's eyes showed suspicion, and he said lazily.
The Chunin teacher gave a wry smile, "Nothing can be hidden from you. Actually, this was ordered personally by Hokage-sama."
"Hokage-sama?" Qianye, hearing this, immediately became full of motivation, as if possessed by an actor.
Seeing this, the Chunin teacher's smile grew wider. He patted Qianye on the shoulder, "Yes, it's Hokage-sama. He has always been secretly watching your growth."
"Really?" Qianye said in an extremely exaggerated tone.
"Of course it's true, how could it be false? This is your forehead protector, and also your Ninja tool pouch and kunai pouch. Hokage-sama has high expectations for you. The latter two are gifts from him," he said, handing over a Ninja forehead protector, a Ninja tool pouch, and a kunai pouch.
"I will definitely not fail Hokage-sama's trust. I will dedicate my own strength to Konoha." Qianye deliberately showed an extremely worshipful expression.
The Chunin teacher smiled, "Good luck."
Next, the Chunin teacher announced Qianye's early graduation in front of the whole class.
To this, everyone had no objections. Excluding the abnormal Uchiha Itachi from his first year, Qianye was considered the most outstanding student of this class.
And today would be Qianye's last day of school.
That evening, Uchiha Izumi celebrated Qianye's promotion to Genin.
The next morning, he equipped himself with the Ninja tool pouch and kunai pouch, took out Mirror Flower Water Moon, and wore it at his waist.
Following the teacher's guidance, he arrived at an empty classroom in the Ninja School to meet his teammates and squad leader.
When Qianye arrived at the classroom, both of his teammates had already arrived.
One of the teammates was a blonde girl with twin pigtails named Akizuki Airi. She had a loli face, was extremely fair and delicate, and possessed a voluptuous figure that was disproportionate to her age.
She was a true child-faced bombshell.
