Five months later.
Naruto and Shizuka got up early because today is the day of the graduation exam of the Ninja School.
"Let's go."
After breakfast, the siblings packed up their luggage and told their parents that they were going to be heading to the airport.
"Come on!"
Shinna Kushina smiled and held her right arm in front of her with her left hand, full of energy.
"Un."
The two nodded heavily. Watergate stood up and said, "Just do as you normally do."
He knows the level of Naruto and his sister, the graduation exam is not difficult for them.
It's nothing more than a matter of ranking. Shizuka's results are needless to say, and Naruto's only uncertainty is his theoretical knowledge.
Although Watergate often tutors him, it has little effect.
After the brother and sister left home, Watergate also put on his Haori and said to Shinna Kushina, "It's time, I should go."
"After these two children graduate, how are you going to divide them?"
Shinna Kushina tidied up Watergate's clothes and raised her eyes and asked.
"The most basic thing is, of course, according to the results."
Watergate said. The division of the graduates of the Ninja School is based on the basic principle of balance.
However, among Naruto's graduates, there are children from Wood Leaf's major families.
In order to better train these children, the principle of division and the candidate for the role of Jonin are quite important.
"Oh."
Shinna Kushina responded, showing some worry between her eyebrows.
Because the two children are going to become ninjas, and even in peacetime, ninja is a dangerous profession.
"Don't worry. Although I can't use special effects on them just because they are my children, Naruto and Sanya inherited our bloodline after all. You have to have confidence in them."
Seeing through Shinna Kushina's mind, Watergate smiled and patted her shoulder.
"Un."
Shinna Kushina nodded, and Watergate suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes.
...
Naruto's office.
"Hehe, you've done a good job this time, Guy."
After reading the task scroll in his hand, Watergate raised his eyes and chuckled.
"The progress of the three children is quite remarkable."
"This is far from enough. Their youth has only just begun."
Guy gave Watergate a thumbs up, showing his almost white teeth, and his eyes were full of energy.
"Oh …"
Seeing this, Watergate's mouth slightly twitched.
"Naruto -sama, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave," Guy suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Watergate raised his eyebrows.
Guy nodded and said, "I've already made an appointment with Li. I'll accompany him to cultivate today."
"Uh …"
Watergate's eyes trembled, and Guy left Naruto's office quickly.
He could even hear the sound of the latter rushing like lightning after he left.
...
The graduation exam of the Ninja School was completed by noon. After the exam, the students dispersed and went home.
After the results of the exam were tabulated, they were not immediately announced, but sent to Naruto's office.
Because Naruto wants to divide the class according to the results.
...
Watergate took the results from Cheng Tamoto's hand, and the first name that caught his eye was not unexpected.
[Uchiha Sasuke]
[Minato Shane]
Both Sasuke and Shane got full marks and tied for first place.
This was the same as Watergate's understanding of their results, and there was nothing to be surprised about.
His eyes continued to sweep down.
[Yamanaka Ino]
[Aburame Shino]
[Hyuga Hinata]
...
[Akimichi Chouji]
The next names were the children from the major ninja families of Wood Leaf. They began to receive systematic ninja training from an early age. Compared with them, ordinary students will inevitably fall behind.
[Haruno Sakura]
After these names, the first one was the girl who was very talented in controlling Chakra.
Her results were very good, full marks in theory, and Taijutsu and Shuriken were also above average.
[Minato Naruto]
Naruto's name was below Haruno Sakura. Watergate glanced at his results, full marks in Taijutsu and Shuriken, and close to full marks in the Ninjutsu exam, but his theoretical score was just enough to pass.
"Have you tried your best?"
Naruto's theoretical score could pass, which was quite surprising.
He smiled, then continued to look at the results of other students, and finally began to divide the class.
Unknowingly, the sky outside had turned completely dark.
"Is there still one person missing?"
In front of the desk, Watergate frowned slightly. Ninja teams were almost always in groups of three, but the number of graduates in Naruto's class was not just right.
"If that's the case, we can put the siblings together."
Watergate smiled. Haruno's results were excellent, and Naruto's results were also excellent. If only one of them could be divided into a two-person team, they would be perfect together.
"Knock Knock!"
Just as Minato was making the final team allocation decision, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Watergate said and looked up.
When the door was opened, Watergate's brows slightly frowned when he saw the people who came in.
"It's already so late. What's the matter with the three elders coming together?"
In front of him was Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Shimura Danzo.
Danzo walked directly in front of Watergate, and the latter stood up from his seat out of respect.
Although Watergate hated Danzo, he was still the advisor of Senpai and Wood Leaf.
"Yondaime-sama, have you finished the assignment for this year's graduates?" Danzo asked.
Watergate frowned slightly and replied, "I just finished."
In the past, the three advisors didn't ask about this kind of thing at all, but this year was different.
Not only because there were many future successors of Wood Leaf's major families among the graduates, but the real purpose of their visit was … Naruto.
After all, Naruto was the Jinchuriki of Nine Tails, and it was of great importance.
"We came here just to confirm whether you have thought about who will be the instructor of Nine Tails' Jinchuriki?" Danzo said bluntly, just as Watergate expected.
At this time, Koharu and Mitokado's eyes also looked at him.
Of course, they didn't think about who will be the instructor for Naruto's growth, but after all, Naruto's identity is special, and an ordinary Jonin can't bear the responsibility.
Watergate also knew this, so he had already decided on a candidate.
He looked at the three advisors in front of him and didn't intend to hide it.
"I intend to let Uchiha Waterstop serve as Naruto's instructor."
