For the next few days, Shinna Kushina excitedly ran to Watergate to show him the results of her training.
Her improvement also gave Minato a big fright.
Because in just three days, Shinna Kushina's number of Shadow Clones has reached 15!
15 Shadow Clones. When they appeared in front of Watergate, his expression froze.
Moreover, they were almost discovered by others …
After all, this is a secret between the two of them, and there are no less than 15 Shadow Clones hidden in the corners of the school.
Compared to Shinna Kushina, although Watergate's Chakra is quite a lot, he can only create 4 Shadow Clones at a time.
Any more than that and it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the main body.
But Shinna Kushina can create 15 Shadow Clones in one breath, and it seems like she has no pressure.
Seeing that she has found a suitable way to improve herself, Watergate was very happy, but he still paid more attention to the surroundings.
He found that except for the Anbu who protected Shinna Kushina before, there was no one else.
The mysterious people who had followed him that night never appeared again.
Every day after school, Watergate didn't slack off on his training. He found a suitable Ninjutsu from the Ninjutsu scroll given by Sandaime-sama and practiced it.
What surprised him was that most of the C-class ninjutsu on the scroll didn't have any difficulty in learning them.
Whether it was the hand seals or the method of using Chakra, it was as if they were imprinted in his mind. He only needed to review them a few times, and he could do it naturally.
And not only the Ninjutsu of wind, fire, and lightning, but also the Water and Earth Ninjutsu, Watergate seemed to be able to practice them easily.
He doesn't have the Earth and Water properties, but that only means that he can't use them easily.
With the amount of Chakra he has now, he doesn't need to master too many Ninjutsu.
As long as he chooses the most suitable ninjutsu for himself, he has to increase his strength as soon as possible.
He wanted to gain the approval of the Sandaime-sama and become Shinna Kushina's bodyguard. That way, she would have her freedom when she was with him!
For that smile, no matter what he had to pay, he would do it without hesitation.
...
Early in the morning, Watergate walked into the classroom. Usually at this time, there should be no one in the classroom.
Today, there was already a figure standing on the podium. It was their homeroom teacher, Cheng Tian Ben. However, his expression was slightly dignified, as if he had something on his mind.
"Teacher Cheng Tian, good morning!"
Watergate greeted the teacher as usual. After getting the latter's permission, he planned to return to his seat.
"Watergate, wait a minute." Cheng Tianben called out to him.
Watergate turned around and asked, "Mr. Cheng Tian, what's the matter?"
Cheng Tamoto nodded and said, "There is indeed something, but this matter is related to you students who are in the ninja school."
"Next, the village will hold a ninja trial, and the students of the entire school will participate." Cheng Tian Ben said.
"Ninja trial?"
Watergate had never heard of this term, and in the previous ninja school assessment, there was no such thing.
"Yes."
Cheng Tian Ben said, "You can hear from the name that it is a trial for the ninja ability assessment. Although you are not ninjas yet, you will become ninjas in the future, so it's understandable for you to be assessed, but this trial … there are more participants than just you." Cheng Tian Ben looked worried. This was the reason why he was worried.
"Who else?" Watergate heard this and his eyes sank.
"All genin who graduated less than a year ago …" Cheng Tian Ben said.
Minato's pupils couldn't help but shrink a little. The number of students in the Ninja School is not small, plus the genin who graduated less than a year after he entered the school, that is, the seniors who graduated shortly after he entered the school.
If it was just a trial, wouldn't it be a bit too big of a commotion?
What's more, this method is not fair at all …
How can most of the students in the ninja school be the opponents of those who have graduated and become genin?
At this time, Watergate remembered the conversation with Sandaime-sama a few days ago.
Could it be that the proof he was talking about is this ninja trial?
"I don't know what the village's higher-ups are thinking. They are simply messing around with the participants of the trial. It doesn't matter if the students of the ninja school lose, but the level gap is too big, plus the group of genin is immature, what if someone gets hurt?"
This was the first time that Watergate saw his sensei questioning the decision made by the village.
Because Cheng Tian Sensei's first consideration is his students.
"Can't you give up in advance in this form of trial?"
Watergate asked. In this kind of test where the strength of the two sides is extremely unbalanced, the weaker side is generally allowed to give up participation in advance.
"This time, the higher-ups specifically emphasized that even if you get hurt, it doesn't matter. No student is allowed to give up unless it is a last resort. If you give up easily, you are likely to be punished by the trial staff, which will affect whether you pass the graduation exam or not …"
The more Cheng Tian Sensei said, the more he couldn't understand, but he was just a Chunin, so he could only complain here.
This rule also made Watergate puzzled. Sandaime Naruto -sama shouldn't be the kind of person who would deliberately make things difficult for others.
Although there must be other higher-ups in the village involved in this, it is impossible to implement it without Sandaime's approval.
This is too abnormal …
However, he also believes that since the village's higher-ups and Sandaime have made such a decision, they must have their reasons.
The ninja school is the cradle to train the next generation for Wood Leaf. They will not do absurd things for no reason.
The sensei in front of him looked sad, and Watergate couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and said: "Sensei, thank you for your trouble."
When Cheng Tian Sensei heard this, he looked embarrassed and sighed: "I can only complain here, I can't help you with anything else."
Watergate shook his head and said: "No, it is because of the existence of a sensei like you that we will be more motivated to complete the trial better … Although the rules are a bit harsh, we will become ninjas sooner or later, and facing all this is just a matter of time."
How could Cheng Tian Sensei not understand this, ninjas have to obey the management of the ninja village, even if they are students, they can't have any doubts.
"What's more, being able to fight with the seniors who graduated before is also a way to promote our growth, and … we won't lose easily!"
Minato's eyes gradually lit up. Whether it is for the purpose of training himself or to gain the approval of Sandaime-sama, he must achieve good results in this trial by fire.
Absolutely!

Today, I discussed the plot with people for a long time and finally smoothed it out, but it is still a little slow to write, but I will update it today.
