In the 44th year of Konoha, the shadow of war still looms over the ninja world.
Mitsuki, who is already 11 years old this year, can graduate from the Ninja School as long as he can successfully pass the graduation examination today.
As for not passing the graduation exam, that is naturally impossible. Although Konoha's front line is not under pressure now, the more cannon fodder the better. Even if you are ranked last in the exam, you can still graduate.
At this time, Mitsuki and Rin were on their way to school.
"Alas~"
"Mitsuki, what's wrong with you? You've been sighing since this morning. Were you too tired yesterday?" Rin looked at Mitsuki worriedly, but said something that could be misunderstood.
The reason why Rin said this is because Mitsuki knew that today was the graduation examination, and the graduation examination during wartime naturally cannot escape the word actual combat.
So after school yesterday, Mitsuki helped Rin with some intensive tutoring.
"Alas, it has nothing to do with Rin, but it suddenly occurred to me that I am already 11 years old, and I am not invincible in the ninja world yet. It's really embarrassing."
"?"
This is a lie.
The reason why this man was sighing was because he used his six eyes to secretly look at the group list of the new batch of students in the Ninja School yesterday, and he was not assigned to the same group as Rin.
Kakashi and Obito are still in the same group with Rin. By the way, since Hatake Sakumo did not commit suicide, Kakashi naturally did not apply for early graduation.
Originally, Mitsuki thought that since Kakashi hadn't graduated early, maybe he and Rin could be assigned to the same team, but it turned out that he was overthinking it.
"Good morning."
"Good morning."
After saying hello to their classmates, Mitsuki and Rin returned to their seats.
At this time, Obito came up stealthily, "Mitsuki, did you hear that? That."
What this and that? Mitsuki was speechless. Who could have guessed this?
"Idiot Obito, even if that person really comes to be the instructor Jōnin, he won't choose you." Kakashi walked over with a pair of dead fish eyes and took over the conversation.
After listening to Kakashi's words, Mitsuki understood that he was probably referring to the fact that Namikaze Minato would also come to teach the students this time.
Obito spoke so mysteriously that he really didn't guess that he was referring to this matter. Kakashi had to be the one who understood this idiot.
It seems that the Third Hokage has begun to favor Namikaze Minato. Logically, a highly mobile and high-level combat force like Minato should not be wasting time taking care of children.
I guess it's the same old Konoha trick again, to cultivate bonds or something.
"Everyone, gather at the seventh training ground."
Mr. Morino walked into the class and called everyone to the seventh training ground.
"So why don't we gather at the seventh training ground at the beginning!" Obito shouted.
You really can't say Obito is stupid this time.
...
...
"The first group, Sarutobi Asuma versus Shimizu Mitsuki." Teacher Morino shouted from the side holding the group table.
"Ah, I hit Mitsuki, is that true?" Asuma was originally grinning beside Hong, but when he heard that, his eyes widened and he pointed at himself.
It is normal for this situation to occur, because Mitsuki has no intention of hiding his strength and pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
Under the premise of hiding a little trump card, Mitsuki still won the first place in all practical courses from the time of admission to the present graduation.
By the way, Asuma's practical class scores were never even in the top three.
In short, Asuma is very melancholy now, because he spent the whole night thinking about how to show his handsomeness in front of Hong tomorrow. Now it seems that he is not handsome at all and will make a fool of himself first.
Mitsuki and Asuma stood on both sides of the training ground following the instructions of another referee, Mr. Kato Iki.
"Hey, Mitsuki, I've been practicing very hard recently, so don't underestimate me." As the saying goes, it's better to lose the game than the battle, Asuma took the lead in talking trash before the game.
"Okay, okay." Mitsuki said casually.
It's not that Mitsuki underestimated his enemy, it's just that a battle of this level was too easy for him. Mitsuki's current panel was considered to be the best among the best in the Genin exam.
"The two sides form a seal of opposition." Teacher Kato raised the flag.
"Konoha's 31st Graduates, Team 1, Sarutobi Asuma vs. Shimizu Mitsuki, begins!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Asuma instantly flew towards Mitsuki. He knew that Mitsuki's ninjutsu ability was very strong. If he didn't close the distance, he would have no chance of winning.
Mitsuki looked at Asuma rushing towards him, wanting to close the distance to compete in physical skills? Mitsuki's physical skills were not bad, and he had no pressure at all to fight with Asuma.
But he had a better idea. Mitsuki formed a Shin Seal with one hand.
A sound like the cry of a thousand thunderbirds rang out, and Mitsuki's right hand emitted a dazzling lightning.
"This is?"
Teacher Kato stared at Mitsuki on the field with his eyes wide open. No, he was staring at Mitsuki's right hand which was flashing with irregular arcs of electricity.
It was also the first time for the classmates around him to see Mitsuki use such gorgeous ninjutsu with special effects. Previously, Mitsuki basically used simple Earth Style ninjutsu in competitions.
In fact, Mitsuki uses Earth Style Ninjutsu simply because Earth Style is easy to use. For him, it doesn't matter which ninjutsu he uses in a Genin game, except that Earth Style Ninjutsu consumes less energy and is less likely to cause accidental injuries.
Mitsuki's own Chakra is fire, wind, and thunder.
Soil and water were developed by him later.
Not to mention how the classmates around him felt when they saw such a gorgeous ninjutsu, Asuma on the field felt like every cell in his body was flashing red lights when facing Mitsuki's Chidori.
"I'm going to die." This was the only thought in his mind at the moment.
Asuma forcibly stopped his forward movement.
Mitsuki didn't have the habit of waiting for his opponent, so he used the acceleration brought by Chidori to rush towards Asuma at high speed.
At the same time, he threw out a shuriken with his left hand and formed a seal with one hand.
「Shadow Clone Technique」
This technique is the ninjutsu that Mitsuki uses most often. He has simplified all the seals to three seals: Zi - Hai - Yin.
The shuriken instantly transformed into dozens of pieces and flew towards Asuma at high speed.
「Wind Style•Great Breakthrough」
Asuma quickly formed seals with his hands, his chest puffed up, and then he blew out a powerful wind pressure from his mouth, blowing away all of Mitsuki's shurikens.
"Try this move, it's the result of my recent hard work!" Asuma knew that he would probably be killed instantly in close combat, so he directly mobilized most of his Chakra.
「Wind Style•Great Breakthrough,Fire Style•」
Composite Ninjutsu!
The wind helps the fire, and the power and range of the C-level ninjutsu fire bomb directly increase to a higher level after passing through the wind area created by Wind Style Great Breakthrough.
Mitsuki was not panicked at all, and even had the leisure to complain that he would not have experimented with Chidori earlier. It turned out that he was more suitable to be a turret output.
But it didn't stop Mitsuki from winning the game.
「Earth Style•Earth Shore Return」
A huge rock rose up like a natural moat to block the fire bomb.
Asuma wanted to do something, but he heard a bird singing. He turned around instantly, but could only see Mitsuki stabbing him with a dazzling lightning.
