Ring, ring, ring…
Izayoi and Hinata had just been biting each other's ears for a while when the school bell rang.
The whole classroom was silent in an instant.
Under normal circumstances, this is a very rare scene.
"The topic of the graduation examination is Clone Technique. The examination room is at the end of the corridor on the right. Wait for the teacher to call out your name and let you come out."
Not long after the bell rang, Umino Iruka appeared at the door of the classroom.
He did not go up to the podium, but left after giving some instructions at the door.
Soon, a Chūnin wearing a green vest appeared at the door, holding a list, and began to call out names: "Minako..."
One name after another came out of Teacher Chūnin's mouth every one or two minutes.
The students whose names were called either looked nervous or stood up confidently, walked out of the classroom, and never came back.
Hinata is one of them.
"...Izayoi."
Hinata had only been gone for a few minutes when Izayoi heard her name.
Izayoi stood up and walked out of the classroom, and came to the examination room at the end of the corridor.
Pushing the door open, the figures of Umino Iruka and Class 2 homeroom teacher Mizuki immediately caught Izayoi's eye.
They sat at a long table.
Seeing Izayoi coming in, Umino Iruka immediately showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "Izayoi, let's start."
"yes."
Izayoi nodded, quickly formed seals with his hands, and shouted, "Clone Technique!"
Bang——
Two sounds, like the sound of a balloon being pricked, overlapped and sounded.
Two balls of white smoke appeared out of nowhere on the left and right sides of Izayoi.
When the white smoke dissipated, two phantom Shadow Clones that looked exactly like Izayoi, including their appearance, height, clothing, and some small details, appeared next to Izayoi.
Looking up and down at the two phantom Shadow Clones, Umino Iruka and Mizuki looked at each other, then took out a Genin forehead protector, stood up and said with a smile: "Your clones are perfect, congratulations on passing the graduation assessment, from now on, you are a Genin."
"Thank you Iruka-sensei, and Mizuki-sensei."
Izayoi walked over, took the Genin forehead protector handed to him by Umino Iruka with both hands, and bowed slightly to the two of them.
Umino Iruka instructed, "You don't need to go back to the classroom next, and don't leave the school yet. Go to our class playground and wait for others to complete the graduation assessment. After that, I will take you to take the file photos."
"yes."
Izayoi nodded, then turned and left the examination room.
As soon as he walked out of the teaching building, Izayoi saw Hinata waiting for him outside.
The two smiled at each other and walked towards the playground.
There were already a dozen classmates waiting for them on the playground.
"Yo...Izayoi, Hinata, you guys are here too!"
"The graduation examination really is not difficult for you."
"After we take the archival photos, shall we celebrate?"
"Eh - forget it, I want to celebrate with my family, they are waiting for me outside now."
"That's true. Let's get together again when we have time."
"How many people in our class can pass the graduation assessment?"
"There should be at least twenty of us. After all, we are a class."
"Anyway, Naruto is definitely doomed."
"..."
As soon as Izayoi and Hinata came over, many classmates gathered around and started chatting with Izayoi.
Izayoi also joined in with a smile.
Just then, a figure walked over.
"Izayoi, let's have a fight later?"
The one who challenged me to a fight right away was Uchiha Sasuke.
Seeing that the third in grade, Uchiha Sasuke, would occasionally snatch the second in grade away, the other students all walked away tactfully.
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke who was full of fighting spirit, Izayoi smiled and shook his head and said, "We won't fight for now. According to the information I have collected, the Genin will form a team of three and then follow their respective Jōnin to train together."
"Now you and I both know each other's strength. No matter how many times we fight, the result will be the same. Why don't we train with the instructor Jōnin for a while, and then we can watch each other grow."
Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke recalled the scene of himself being beaten up repeatedly.
Uchiha Sasuke's fighting spirit instantly died, and he nodded and said, "Okay, let's fight again later."
"no problem."
Izayoi agreed with a smile.
In the past few years, the reason why Izayoi still has more than 10,000 points left after upgrading Chakra control is all thanks to Uchiha Sasuke.
In the past two years, Izayoi played against Uchiha Sasuke almost every week, sometimes twice a week.
Aside from the Sage's Eyes (red) which only dropped once, Izayoi has dropped Kage-level aptitude (purple), Uchiha bloodline (purple), and Ōtsutsuki bloodline (blue) several times.
Izayoi broke down all of these talent items into points.
More than 10,000 points, all provided by Uchiha Sasuke.
The remaining points were provided by Hinata and other students.
Among them, Hinata occupies the majority.
Because in the whole class, Izayoi is the strongest, Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata are in the first tier, the ninja clan members are in the second tier, and the others are in the third tier.
Starting from the third grade, except for Uchiha Sasuke and Hinata, it was difficult for the ninja children like Yamanaka Ino and other classmates to explode entries.
Even if an entry pops up occasionally, they are mostly low-level entries.
Fortunately, strength is not measured by the amount of Chakra, otherwise, in the whole class or even the whole school, the only one who could burst out with advanced entries would be Uzumaki Naruto.
Over the years, Izayoi has completely fleeced Uchiha Sasuke.
Whether it was the attributes on him or the ninjutsu scrolls at home, Izayoi had searched them more than once.
And during these years, Izayoi also became friends with Uchiha Sasuke.
It became their agreement to have a fight every once in a while.
Having fought Izayoi for so many years, Uchiha Sasuke's strength is naturally far beyond that of the original.
Among the bubbles floating around him, one of them had already changed.
That is the Uchiha bloodline (purple), which has become - Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (purple).
That is to say, Uchiha Sasuke has awakened the Sharingan.
To be more precise, Sharingan can be opened freely.
The time when he truly awakened the Sharingan was during the night of the genocide.
Awakening Sharingan Uchiha Sasuke, very expansive.
Aside from Izayoi, the only one that Uchiha Sasuke could take seriously was the one who could snatch his second place, and even he was no match for Hinata in a taijutsu duel.
If it was a no-rules duel, Uchiha Sasuke, who had already awakened the Sharingan, had a surge in Chakra, and had learned more ninjutsu through Izayoi, would not take Hinata seriously.
Two boys and one girl, if Izayoi, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hinata were assigned to the same class, they would definitely be the strongest team in Genin.
Neither the new generation Ino–Shika–Chō nor the three Gaara siblings from Sunagakure were their match.
But obviously, this is impossible.
Regardless of the fate and karma of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, or their identities, they are destined to be assigned to the same team.
There was no one in all of Konoha more suited to be their Jōnin mentor than Hatake Kakashi.
