Blacksmith From Hokage

Chapter 66 Graduation Early?

Kuroyoshi’s hunch was accurate.

At the Ninja School, several teachers in charge of this grade assessment came to the Hokage office to report their work after counting the students’ scores.

The achievements of the new generation are related to Konoha’s future, so in addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen who is Hokage, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura of the elders are here.

In the past, Danzo will also come.

But he was dead and couldn’t come.

“The first place in this grade assessment is Kurayoshi, the second place is Uchiha Sasuke, the third place…” Iruka read the top ten students, closed the score sheet, and smiled: “Although the others are behind in the rankings, But it’s also performing well, just because the top ten perform better.”

“Hmm! Thank you for your hard work, Iruka.” Sarutobi nodded slightly with his pipe in his mouth, smiling on his old face, and seemed to be much younger.

“Everywhere, it’s the result of everyone working together.” Iruka didn’t dare to take credit alone. “Moreover, the students themselves worked very hard.”

Koharu on the side said with a cane, “Anyway, you brought this freshman out, so don’t be humble.”

“Yes.”

“So, is there anything else to report?” Sarutobi asked.

“Gone.”

“Wait a moment.”

Mizuki stood out from behind, and everyone turned their eyes to him.

Sarutobi stared at him, took a breath of cigarette silently, and asked, “It’s Mizuki, is there anything else for you?”

“It’s about Kurayoshi and Sasuke.”

Um?

Hearing what Mizuki said, Sarutobi couldn’t help but condensed his eyes when he saw Mizuki, and his expression became serious.

“What happened to the two of them?”

“Although they are still third graders, whether it is Kuroyoshi or Sasuke, they both have the strength of a formal ninja, and they have also learned ninjutsu such as Great Fireball and Shadow Clone. It is meaningless to continue to stay in school.”

“Are they both geniuses?” Homura asked.

“Yes.”

Mizuki glanced at Homura, nodded, and then continued to look at Sarutobi, “Third Hokage adults, they will only waste their talent if they continue to stay in school. I want to apply for them to graduate with this class of graduates.”

“Ms. Mizuki!”

Iruka looked at him in surprise, and then retorted: “Although they are all excellent, but they are still too young, it is too much to graduate now…”

“There are many people who graduated earlier than them.” Mizuki interrupted Iruka’s words, Yoshimasa said: “Iruka teacher, I am also a teacher. I like those children as much as you do, but you know their strengths too. As far as Cangji is concerned, my Chūnin is not necessarily an opponent. You are harming them by spoiling them like this.”

“I……”

Iruka opened her mouth, but couldn’t refute it.

In this assessment, the strength shown by Kuroyoshi and Sasuke is obvious to all. If you say nonsense, it is an insult to the IQ of other teachers.

“There were indeed students who graduated very early.” Sarutobi took a deep breath, staring at the desk with muddy eyes, gleaming complicated gazes.

For a while, he slowly spit out the cigarette, his eyes restored as deep as before, “But the times are different, now there is no need for students to graduate so early.”

“However, even if Konoha is not in urgent need of combat power, for the development of the two children, they should be allowed to graduate early!” Koharu suggested on the side.

Sarutobi was silent.

Both Koharu and Mizuki were right.

Continue to stay in school, the school can’t teach them.

Let them graduate and follow the lead teacher to perform tasks, but they can accumulate experience and grow.

Although there are risks in the process, there are risks in the ninja profession at any time.

However, Sarutobi also has his own considerations.

The first is Kuroyoshi.

Others don’t know it, but he understands it very well.

Kuroyoshi’s potential is amazing. He has a monster-level Chakra and can learn a lot of ninjutsu.

Even without mission experience, he can grow for a long time.

The reason why the ninja school only teaches the basics is because the students are young, and the knowledge and Chakra are not enough to learn high-level skills.

Although Kuroyoshi’s current strength is great, it is still far from the point where he can’t grow by burying his head in learning. Sarutobi naturally wants him to grow as much as possible before accumulating experience.

Because this can minimize the risk.

And Sasuke…

Sarutobi had already booked him and Naruto as teammates.

Because Naruto is Jinchūriki, Nine Tails may run wild on the road to the ninja.

If Sharingan’s teammates are there, it may be able to prevent Naruto from running away.

Moreover, he made Sasuke and Naruto teammates, which is also a kindness to Uchiha.

Although the Uchiha coup was over, Itachi also used Distinguished Heavenly Gods to let Uchiha let go of his arrogance and prejudice, and the other party did not ask for anything.

But this kind of coup…

It has only been two or three years, and it can’t be regarded as nothing happened.

The gap between the two sides still exists.

Although both sides tried to eliminate it, it was not so easy.

Sarutobi hopes that Sasuke and Naruto can become teammates to ease the atmosphere between the two sides. Even if they can’t completely let go, they can also plant the seeds of reconciliation and place their hopes on the next generation.

Become a teammate and experience life and death together.

They will forge a deep friendship, and this friendship will spread step by step, allowing Uchiha to fully integrate into Konoha.

In fact, similar plans have been implemented since Second Generation.

That is Uchiha Kagami.

Sarutobi also inherited the Second Generation plan, making Obito and Kakashi teammates.

It’s a pity that neither Kagami nor Obito died prematurely, and it was difficult for other Uchiha to have a good relationship with other teammates.

Even Uchiha Itachi, because of his own maturity and avant-garde thinking, is incompatible with other personalities.

Originally, Sarutobi almost lost confidence in this plan.

But the appearance of Naruto regained his confidence.

Because even the hatred and disgust of the villagers can’t shake his kindness, that desire to be recognized, hope to associate with others…

No matter how difficult it is for Sasuke to get along, he will definitely get along with Naruto.

Kurayoshi is the big tree that Sarutobi values ​​and can support Konoha’s future, and Sasuke is Sarutobi’s hope of realizing Konoha’s true unity.

Neither of them allowed accidents.

but–

“It’s better to ask about the opinions of the parties and their parents about this kind of thing!” Homura suggested: “If we force them to stay in school, it would be bad if we cause misunderstandings.”

Hearing this, Sarutobi felt a sense of powerlessness.

Although he is Hokage, Konoha is not a dictator, and he must have a reason for this kind of thing.

Otherwise, in the long run, Hokage will lose the trust of the people below.

“…Alright, let’s state the interests with the parties first, and let them make the decision!” Sarutobi hesitated for a long time, and had to make a decision.

After the decision was made, someone immediately found Sasuke and Kuroyoshi.

Sasuke was very excited when she heard it, but couldn’t make a decision for a while, so she couldn’t help looking at her father and mother.

“You can graduate from school at the age of eight?”

Hearing this news, Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto slept first, then smiled, “Graduating so early, this is an honor, worthy of being my son.”

On the other side, training ground No. 39.

After hearing the news, Kurayoshi casually took out his ears, “What? Graduating early? Nonono, how can I be a ninja when I am so weak? Let me study at the ninja school for a few more years!”
