Chapter 32: Graduation
February of Konoha 36.
The war between Konoha and Sand Hide lasted for two years and did not end.
As more and more ninjas were mobilized on both sides, medicines and supplies were transported to the front line in large quantities, showing that the war has not stopped at all.
The students who did not choose to skip a grade in the same class as Shiraishi are already in the sixth grade.
In March, there will be a school graduation exam, and students who pass the assessment will leave the ninja school and become the official shinobi in the Konoha organization.
However, according to Shiraishi's prediction, the so-called graduation assessment is actually just a formality.
The teachers at the school must have the detailed information of the students in their hands, which students can graduate and which students need to repeat the grade, in fact, it has already been arranged.
After all, at this time, the front line is tight, and more new forces are needed to go to the front line to support, such as the new generation of medical ninjas like Shiraishi, who need to accumulate experience on the battlefield in order to better play a role in the medical field in the future.
So at this time, Shiraishi only needs to go to school in the morning, go to the hospital for an internship in the afternoon, and come back in the evening to do research.
Graduation will come, you can't be impatient, you don't need to wait for anything, everything will come naturally.
Nearly a month passed without a sound, and it was the morning of graduation.
The weather was bright, the crisp chirping of birds echoed in the somewhat empty courtyard, and the maids were quietly holding cleaning tools, and they were busy early in the morning.
is completely different from a certain soft rice kid who has been eating and drinking for nothing here for several years and has nothing to do, these maids are still very competent.
Since today is the graduation exam, in order to keep the students in good condition, there is no need to go to school too early today, just arrive at the examination room before 9 o'clock.
Shiraishi slept until seven o'clock in the morning and woke up, feeling that from today onwards, life would not be too peaceful.
In the past few days, Shiraishi has been interrupting research, and the large equipment in the laboratory has been transferred by the ninja cats summoned by the glass, and hidden in a very safe and secret place, Shiraishi only carries a scroll to record the research results, of course, these things are the most reassuring to put on himself.
Soon, after having breakfast with Ruri, we set off for school.
Sit in the designated exam room, the rest of the students are partly nervous, partly relaxed, and for most people, the final exam is not a particularly difficult test.
The examiner in the examination room where Shiraishi is is the head teacher Shiraishi and the head teacher of their class, Fujimura Taiga, unknowingly the school's six-year study career has passed, Shiraishi looked at Mr. Fujimura Taiga, who is still single, and can't help but sigh.
"The content of the graduation exam is the three-body technique, as long as two of them meet the standards. Without further ado, let's follow the seats one by one. β
With that, Fujimura walked into the vacant classroom next to the exam room.
Along with Fujimura Taiga, there are also two middle ninja examiners.
According to the order of the seats, the person whose name is called has to go to the next classroom alone to take the three-body jutsu test, which is also the three basic ninjutsu that the ninja school has been exposed to for six years.
Theoretically, there is no one who cannot pass such a simple exam.
In the quiet atmosphere, it was Shiraishi's turn.
There is nothing difficult about the three-body technique, and besides, only two ninjutsu in the three-body technique need to meet the standard to successfully obtain the Konoha forehead protector.
Shiraishi stood still in the center of the examination room, his hands began to seal, and he concentrated his consciousness to perform the three-body technique.
"Congratulations, Chiba-san, you're qualified."
After watching the three-body technique performed by Shiraishi, they all reached above the standard, which did not surprise Fujimura Taiga.
Shiraishi is one of the few students in his class who has a very solid foundation, and as long as he follows the usual rhythm, the graduation exam is just a passing formality.
"Thank you, Mr. Fujimura."
Shiraishi bowed slightly in thanks.
Successfully getting Konoha forehead guard from Fujimura Taiga, this moment also means that Shiraishi is already a qualified Konoha ninja.
In the minds of others, it must be like this.
The graduation exams ended in such a prosaic atmosphere.
There is nothing to do for the rest of the day, just wait for tomorrow morning's assignment.
"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's leader, who is the teacher? I heard that there are only excellent students.,After graduation, the assigned team leader will be a shinobi.,Like me.,Join the team.,The lead teacher may be a special ninja.γ β
On the way back, Shiraishi began to guess who his lead teacher would be tomorrow.
"You're in a group with me."
Ruri suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
Shiraishi looked at Ruri with some dumbfounded.
"What's that look on your face? Do you have any grievances about being in the group with me? β
"Ah, that's, no, I haven't heard you about it."
"Because I don't think I need to ask for your opinion, and your opinion is not worth referring to. Now that you've brought it up, let's talk a little bit about it. β
Liuli told the truth.
Honestly, it's a bit of a blow to say that.
But Shiraishi isn't one who cares about such trivial things.
"In that case, the teacher who leads the team is likely to be very strong and forbearant."
For the strength of the glass, Baishi has a very intuitive cognition.
She is almost twelve years old, and her strength is no longer inferior to that of ordinary Shangnin.
Coupled with her strong personality, if she is an ordinary leader of the team, there is a high probability that she will not be able to control the glass, resulting in serious cracks in the team.
If he and Ruri belong to a small team, then the leading teacher will definitely not be an ordinary ninja.
"The clan only told me that it was a very powerful Shangnin, but who it was didn't reveal."
"I don't even know if it's misfortune or luck."
A good leader can improve the efficiency of a team's mission, and the survival rate will also be greatly improved.
But on the other hand, the stronger the leader of the team, the more likely his true strength is to be detected.
Good and bad are always relative.
"When the time comes, you just need to use your medical ninjutsu expertise."
"That's right, after all, arranging a medical ninja in the squad is the most reasonable lineup for the village right now. The first to enjoy the benefits of medical ninjas is, of course, the upper ninja squad, which is more efficient in performing tasks. β
Thinking about it this way, it seems reasonable that he was arranged to be in a group with Liuli.
Due to the scarcity of medical ninjas, although the village has formulated a perfect formation to arrange medical ninjas in the squad, the supply of medical ninjas exceeds the supply, resulting in only a very small number of elite squads that are eligible to be equipped with medical ninjas.
The strength he showed was remarkable, but as a medical ninja, his importance was no worse than that of an ordinary middle ninja, and it was not strange to be placed in the elite group.
β
The next morning.
The students who successfully graduated yesterday and received forehead protection will gather in their respective classes for the last placement meeting.
Standing in front of the podium, Taiga Fujimura spoke in a voice that could be heard by the entire classroom.
"First of all, congratulations to you, from the moment you got your forehead guard, you were a ninja on your own. Since there is a war going on out there right now, don't think that being a ninja is something to be happy about. Because you're all a now. Remember, don't take the game's mindset to the battlefield, that's deadly! β
Unlike the usual homeroom teacher Fujimura Taiga, today's face is very serious, and his eyes are full of patience and worry.
was stunned by his words, even though the usually lively and active students wanted to tell some jokes to cheer up the atmosphere, but when they saw Fujimura Taiga's serious and cold expression, they swallowed their saliva in fear and sat honestly in their seats.
Fujimura realizes that his words may be a little heavy, but he would rather say that the path of the ninjas is bloody and cruel than that they are sent to death with naΓ―ve thoughts.
Fujimura Taiga began a roll call in groups of three.
Soon, Shiraishi heard his group.
"Fifth class, Ruri Uchiha, Ayane Hinata, Shiraishi Chiba. You work in groups of three. β
Over there, Fujimura Taiga was still naming names, but the three of them looked at each other, as if they wanted to reconfirm their teammates in the future.
"It's good luck. So, please advise me in the future, Shiraishi-kun, Ruri. β
Ayane was dressed in a white ninja suit, her long straight black hair was softly draped over her shoulders, and her white pupils had a distant, polite smile.
"As long as you don't come and hold me back."
For the group with Ayane, Ruri did not express dissatisfaction.
It's the perfect match.
Usually she also pays attention to Ayane, after all, like her, she has a bloodstain inheritance, and the white eyes are more functional than the writing wheel eyes in many cases.
"By the way, this guy is very weak, and he has no achievements except for medical ninjutsu, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Ruri unceremoniously belittles Shiraishi's combat ability.
"Well, I see, after all, most medical ninjas are weak and have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Leave the battle to me and you. β
Ayane's meaning is clear, Shiraishi is in charge of medical work, and the battle is handled by the two of them.
It sounds reasonable, but Shiraishi always feels that there is a very vague comparison in Ayane's tone.
Delusion?
Putting this aside, there is another thing that also makes Shiraishi faintly feel too wonderful.
White Eyes, Writing Wheel Eyes, Medical Ninjas, and a strong upper ninja form a squad...... This squad doesn't look like it's doing ordinary missions.
