Guardians of Tirisfal of Konoha

Chapter 25 Unexpected teammates

A specially vacated classroom serves as a waiting room where graduates gather.

There are four such classrooms. This is the waiting room numbered A, and there are about fifty people waiting here.

Jonin teachers will come in order to take away the students in groups of three, and take the test to become Genin alone.

If they pass, they can truly become official ninjas.

And if you don't pass, you can only go back to the ninja school.

In theory, they have another chance to test, but this is the first period of war preparations in more than a decade.

Now if they fail the Ninja test, they can only participate in actual combat exercises with their juniors, and only after passing the screening of 200 people can they become Ninja.

At that time, although they are also Genin, they will lose the precious opportunity of guidance from the Jōnin teacher and go directly to the battlefield.

After all, the number of ninjas is limited, and it is impossible to have enough time to train students in wartime as in peacetime.

According to the previous pass rate, about 70% of the students will successfully pass the test and become Genin.

Although the pass rate is not low, it is by no means an easy pass for dawdling students.

Of course...it's not as low as 1/3 that some jounin said.

The students were discussing nervously, guessing who their Jonin teacher was, whether they could pass, who they were with, etc., when the door opened.

There was a silence in the classroom, and then the students breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, I thought Jonin-sensei was here, but it's not."

"Ha, is this kid the last one to arrive? Fortunately, he came earlier than the teacher."

"Huh? I have impressions of this year's graduating class, but I haven't seen him, and is he too young, ten years old?"

"Oh? I seem to have seen it at school... It should be a junior in a lower grade, and it's not just a grade lower."

The students saw Wu who pushed the door and walked in, and started buzzing.

"Did he go to the wrong door? The lower grades should go to the assembly hall."

"Ha! Wu! Come here!"

The students were wondering, when they heard a happy voice calling out to the little boy who came in:

"My sister really didn't lie to me, you really came!"

Naoshu stood up and waved to Wu, Wu grinned, and had to lower his head and walk to the side of Naoshu.

"Mistake... I chatted with Ding Zuo and the others for too long, and everyone is here. I didn't want to attract attention."

Satoru muttered in a low voice, which was heard by Sheng Shu, who laughed:

"Haha, Wu, you are thinking wrong, you are so much younger than us, you will be very conspicuous whenever you come!"

"As I said, you are a true genius, and your brilliance will not be buried!"

Naoki became excited, this is his younger brother, sister Tsunade had already told him the decision of Konoha's senior management yesterday:

"The talent discovery mechanism in our village will not ignore you!"

"..."

Enlightenment looked at Shengshu with a speechless face, wishing to complain about his sister's meddling immediately:

"Hey, senior, stop hating me, don't you see the strange eyes of the seniors around you!?"

Sheng Shu was taken aback for a moment, then quietly turned around and looked around...

"Well, they don't seem to believe me."

"It's strange if you believe it!"

Wu huddled in his seat, trying to keep a low profile, and even took out the special magic weapon for the rope tree:

"Senior... I learned how to become a turtle!"

"..."

Rope tree silently covered his mouth.

"Click!"

The door of the classroom opened again, and a black, straight... young man in a Jonin combat vest walked in.

One of the three proud disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Three Hokages, Orochimaru known as a genius.

This is not as simple as being called a genius when he was a teenager. Da Shemaru was called a genius among the elites of Jonin, which shows how important the word "genius" is to him.

"Wow! It's Oshemaru-sama!"

Some students were pleasantly surprised, whispering:

"Master Orochimaru actually brought up disciples this year, who will be lucky enough to be selected!"

Here, Orochimaru glanced at the anxious students, showing a meaningful smile.

"Student Nasuki and Mitomon Satoru, these two come out, follow me."

"..."

All the students in the classroom fell silent.

What's the situation, two people?

Naoki and the others knew more or less, but Mitomon Satoru...

Nasoki and Satoru looked at each other, stood up and walked towards Orochimaru at the door.

"Why just the two of us? Shouldn't there be three of us?"

"I don't know... When I got the news yesterday, the third person has not been confirmed yet, so is it still not confirmed?"

The students silently watched Wu, who was much younger than them, walk towards the door with Naoki, and they had a full understanding of what Naoki called "genius" just now.

If what Nakoki said doesn’t count, does Oshemaru-sama’s say count?

At the door, Orochimaru was looking at the excited Nawaki and the weird-looking Satoru with great interest.

Nakoki has known Orochimaru for a long time. After all, Tsunade and Orochimaru both studied under the Third Hokage.

And Wu Mo...

I have admired this name for a long time.

This is the first time he really saw Orochimaru.

"Well... I believe you have something to ask... But don't worry, I will take you to meet another classmate."

Orochimaru hooked the corners of his mouth, narrowed his pupils slightly, turned around and walked outside the school:

"Come with me."

Satoru and Nakoki looked at each other again, and followed silently—they were both very interested in the classmate Orochimaru was talking about.

Orochimaru took Satoru and Nakoki to an open space, where a child was already waiting.

"It's a girl?"

Satoru raised his eyebrows, attracted by her clothes.

There is a mark of a round fan on it.

"Uchiha..."

"Let me introduce, this is Uchiha Mikoto, this year's sixth grade, which is the student of next year's graduating class."

"Mikoto's parents are just ordinary Uchiha people, not ninjas...but Mikoto's ninja talent is surprisingly good."

Orochimaru introduced the girl who turned and looked over to Nawaki and Satoru, and he said with admiration:

"She doesn't get the full support of the Uchiha clan, but this talent should not be buried, she will be an excellent ninja."

Uchiha Mikoto saw Orochimaru bringing the two boys over, a blush rose on her face.

"Teacher Orochimaru, and two classmates, hello..."

"..."

Goto and Nawaki looked at each other.

This... is Uchiha?

The arrogant and domineering Uchiha clansman in the legend, who almost lost his popularity in the village?

It seems that staying away from the Uchiha clan is not without benefits.

"Mikoto, this is Nakoki, a student of last month's graduating class, and this is Mito Mon Satoru who is two grades below you... But don't underestimate him just because he is young."

Orochimaru introduces Goto and Nawaki to Mikoto.

Although he knew that Orochimaru was still a good young man at this time, Wu still felt that this kind of Orochimaru was really hard to get used to.

I'm still more familiar with Uncle Snake, who has a long neck and a wobbly tongue, playing cosplay, dressing up and parasitic beasts all day long.

"Uh... Mikoto-senpai, I'm Wu, please give me your advice."

"I am Shengshu, please give me more advice!"
