After the Shinobi Trial, the Ninja School was still open as usual, they didn't give the children who fought for three days in the Forest of Death too much time to rest, but after all, they have the basic quality of a ninja, not to mention that the school's studies weren't that heavy.
Watergate didn't listen much to the theory class in the morning. In fact, most of the people in the Ninja School were guessing the qualified candidates for the Shinobi Trial, the village's higher-ups didn't announce it, so no one knew.
Watergate, Mikoto, and the others who were ordered to stay silent, this time even Shinna Kushina was surprisingly quiet.
Watergate was also thinking about many things about the Shinobi Trial, but this time even he couldn't sort everything out.
Not only the students didn't know, even the Chunin like Cheng Tianben didn't know anything.
"Watergate, come with me."
When Cheng Tianben finished this morning's class, he suddenly called Watergate.
"Oh." Watergate, who was thinking, heard Cheng Tianben and walked out of the classroom.
The two walked into the teacher's office, and the first thing that caught Watergate's eyes was a figure he recognized at a glance.
It was actually Uchiha Yan.
The latter was also looking at him at this time, and in his black pupils, there was a complex expression, there was anger, fighting intent, and other emotions.
They just fought yesterday, and Watergate also understood that with Uchiha Yan's pride, it's naturally impossible for him to be convinced by the outcome of a battle.
But Watergate wasn't on guard against Uchiha Yan, because the other figure in the room was the chief examiner of yesterday's Shinobi Trial, Sho Sho.
"It seems that both of you are in a good mental state."
Sho Sho laughed, then looked at Cheng Tian Ben and said, "Mr. Cheng Tian, I'll have to trouble you, but for confidentiality reasons, you can't stay here for now."
Hearing this, Cheng Tianben didn't say anything. He glanced at Watergate. Looking at the situation, among the qualified people in yesterday's Ninja Trial, there was probably a place for these two children.
After all, their excellence has exceeded the scope of ninja school students.
Of course, this was only his guess. Then, he left the office.
...
Hatake Sho Sho looked at the two people in front of him, while Watergate and Uchiha Yan were observing another woman leaning against the corner of the office. She crossed her arms and looked at them.
"In yesterday's ninja trial, both of you performed very well, which was recognized by all the village's higher-ups." Hatake Sho Sho tried to ease the atmosphere, but it didn't seem to work.
Watergate didn't care about it. Whether he passed the Ninja Trial or not wasn't his ultimate goal, he just wanted to get the approval of Sandaime.
Uchiha Yan was different. His pride as an Uchiha was shattered several times by the person in front of him.
Before, he never thought that anyone in the same batch could compete with him, but now, Watergate has gradually become the goal he is chasing.
"Sho Sho -sama, if you have something to say, just say it, I think with your identity, it's unlikely that you would come here just to announce the village's higher-ups' praise for us, right?"
Watergate's eyes were slightly dignified. He had a hunch that Sho Sho's appearance wasn't a good thing.
Uchiha Yan also turned his gaze away from Watergate and looked at Sho Sho.
"In fact, I came here this time to announce the order of Sandaime Naruto -sama."
Sho Sho's expression became solemn. Hearing this, Watergate and Uchiha Yan couldn't help but shrink their eyes.
"Sandaime Naruto -sama's order, I, Sho Sho, Watanabe Jun, Watergate Minato, and Uchiha Yan will form a Ninja Squad and go to Tang No Guk to kill Wood Leaf Kuriyama Shinzo!"
Sho Sho didn't say anything and directly announced the order of Sandaime. Hearing this, the pupils of both of them couldn't help but shrink.
In the corner, Watanabe Jun, with his hands on his chest, observed the expressions of Watergate and Uchiha Yan with great interest.
In fact, their reaction was within his expectations.
"This level of mission, and they want us two Ninja Academy students to participate?"
This time, Uchiha Yan recovered from his shock before Minato did, because he was an Uchiha and naturally knew more about the classification of the ninja missions than the latter who didn't know anything about it.
Although Watergate followed Jiraiya for a year, he didn't teach much about the knowledge that can only be used after becoming a Ninja.
Going to other countries, there is a ninja on the crusade list, the definition of the mission is at least A-level, even genin may not be qualified to participate, only Chunin and Jonin can perform this mission.
Not to mention the fact that he's a traitor ninja. To be able to betray the village and survive until now, his ability must not be small. The difficulty of this mission is definitely beyond A-class.
S-level mission!
"What, are you afraid?" Sho Sho smiled.
Hearing this, Uchiha Yan paused for a moment and replied, "It's not that I'm afraid, but it is extremely absurd to give such a mission to students like us, and I'm questioning the authenticity of this mission."
There is no doubt that Uchiha Yan is a real genius, regardless of the victory or defeat between him and Watergate, he already has all the basic qualities of a Ninja, so questioning the authenticity of the mission is reasonable.
After all, anyone who hears it will think it is too absurd.
Watanabe Jun looked at Uchiha Yan with a slight change in his eyes, as if he was praising him.
Sho Sho smiled, picked up a portfolio on the table behind him, and threw it to Uchiha Yan.
"I respect your right to question, everything you want to know is in this bag, but if you open it, it means that you have accepted the mission, and it will be impossible to give up."
The portfolio contains a lot of information about Kuriyama Shinzo and the Tang no Guk, it belongs to the village's super confidential documents, and without special circumstances, even a Jonin is not qualified to read it.
Sho Sho glanced at the two and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, think carefully before you make a decision, this mission is not a training like a ninja's trial … If you are not careful, you will lose your life."
His tone became serious, no matter what, the danger of this mission is too great, and it requires the two of them to really risk their lives.
At this time, Uchiha Yan's hand holding the portfolio was trembling slightly, after all, no matter how talented he is, he has never experienced life and death.
"I accept."
Just as Sho Sho was waiting for the two to answer, Watergate on the side said faintly, then took the portfolio from Uchiha Yan's hand, opened it directly, and flipped through it.
If it was someone else, they would definitely think that Watergate doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, and doesn't know the meaning of life and death, but Sho Sho and Watanabe Jun can see from his penetrating eyes that it is not that he doesn't know the meaning of life and death.
But … there is no fear at all.
