Konoha's West Gate Official

On the barren ground, corpses fell one after another, and bright red blood spread all over the ground. Blood beads slid down from the sharp blade, making the edge look even colder.

Ximen sheathed the knife, exhaled a long breath, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his face looked slightly pale.

This was his first time to kill someone, and he killed more than a dozen people at once. Although he felt a little uncomfortable and nauseated when the blood splashed onto his face, he quickly recovered and no accident occurred.

Namikaze Minato on the side also nodded when he saw this, the other party's performance was better than he expected.

He has met many people and behaves very well on weekdays. But after actually going to the battlefield, seeing the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, he was frightened and couldn't even use 50% of his strength.

Every year, many young ninjas lose their lives because they cannot quickly adapt to bloody fighting.

These bandits are very weak, not even comparable to genin, so it is not difficult to defeat them. So he set up such a test just to make Ximen see blood. After all, ninjas often exist to kill people.

At present, it seems that Ximen's psychological quality is still very good.

Then he saw him walking forward and said, "Very well done. You have also completed the third level of assessment."

Ximen's expression changed and he asked: "What about early graduation..."

Minato smiled, took out a letter and handed it to the other party, saying, "It's been done a long time ago. This is your notice of early graduation. Keep it."

Ximen's eyes lit up, and after taking a look, he put it in his arms.

Minato patted him on the shoulder and said, "The war is not far away. You have to take a good rest these days to recuperate your energy. I will apply to be the team leader after that, so that I can take care of you more easily when I get to the battlefield."

Ximen nodded when he heard this. With the protection of such a shadow-level powerhouse, he would naturally not refuse...

At the same time, smoke filled the Konoha Building and the Hokage's office.

One man was wearing a white robe and a red hat with the word "fire" printed on his head. He had a pipe in his mouth and stared at the crystal ball on the desk with a serious face.

What is reflected in the sphere is the scene of Ximen killing the bandits just now.

He was seen smacking his cigarette holder, and then took off the hat on his head, revealing his thin figure and slightly older face.

This person is the third generation Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is known as one of the three strongest men!

Today, he looks like he is only in his early fifties. Both his physical condition and chakra level are still at their peak. It is difficult to find an opponent in the entire ninja world.

"I learned to fly Thunder God in half a month. Is this really possible..."

He thought secretly in his heart, and it is still hard to believe it even now. He thought that he had also coveted this space-time ninjutsu back then, and spent several years studying it painstakingly.

But in the end, he couldn't even get started, and Ximen, a ten-year-old child, mastered it in just half a month. This was too shocking.

And this just proves that the other party is an extremely outstanding genius, even better than Minato. He must have such a talent in his hands.

However, judging from the news coming out of the school, the other party's character seems to be a bit bad...

Well, we must not leave such a child who is not mature enough in thinking, but must educate him well so that he can feel the greatness of the Will of Fire...

"Old man!"

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about this, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.

Immediately afterwards, a young man with green hair hurried in. It was his youngest son, Sarutobi Asuma.

Looking at the other person's hair color, which was like a green turtle, I couldn't help but feel bad. The previous bet between Asma and Simon seemed to him to be just a fight between children.

Unexpectedly, this brat was so stubborn that he actually dyed his hair green. The green color was so ugly that if you didn't look carefully, you would have thought he was wearing a weird hat...

"How many times have I told you not to yell!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded him a little tiredly, and then asked: "What's the matter with running here in such a hurry?"

Asma replied: "Is there going to be a war? I also want to apply for graduation!"

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately shouted: "Just stay well, are you going to die on the battlefield with your little ability!"

Asuma replied: "Namikaze Simon has already approved the application to graduate early, why can't I!"

He clearly remembered the surprise and admiration on his red face after hearing the news that Ximen had graduated. He had already lost once, and this time he could not fall behind.

"What kind of strength is Simon Namikaze that you can compare with others?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded in anger.

Hearing this, Asma's emotions were instantly ignited, and she shouted loudly: "I must go, even if you don't approve graduation, I will go!"

After saying that, he ran out without looking back.

"Hey!"

Seeing how incompetent this child was, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed. They are all about the same age, why is there such a big gap?

However, he also knows the other party's temperament, and he will not waver easily when he makes up his mind. This is as stubborn as himself.

In this case, it is better to go with the flow than to block it, or make arrangements in advance yourself. What kind of surprise happened when facing this son...

After a while, a knock on the door came: "Hokage-sama."

Looking up, he saw Namikaze Minato walking in. Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and chuckled, "It's Minato, what's the matter?"

Namikaze Minato stepped forward, handed over several forms in his hand, and said: "There are a group of children in the school who have completed the assessment and graduated early. This is the list of their mentoring jounin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took it and looked at it, and then his eyes stopped on the last piece of information.

"Leading the Jonin: Namikaze Minato

Students: Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, Simon Namikaze. "

Looking at the list, Sarutobi's expression changed slightly, and then he said, "This kid Ximen is very talented. I think we should focus on cultivating him."

Hearing such praise, Namikaze Minato did not show joy, but said seriously: "Thank you Hokage-sama for the compliment. Ximen is still young, so it would be better for him to stay with me and take care of him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment, then continued: "The young eagle must fly alone to grow up. I know that you have a deep brotherhood, but more training will be more beneficial to his future growth.
