Making a Point of Discussing It Was a Bit Like Fanning the Flames

Early morning.

Naruto, still half-asleep, got up and washed his face and got dressed as usual.

After getting ready, I went out of the house and looked up at the sky.

"The sun is rising so slowly today," Naruto said, yawning.

"Naruto!" A voice called out from afar.

Naruto turned his head and saw Choji and the others walking slowly towards him.

Naruto quickly Teuchi and greeted them, "Shikamaru, Hinata, Choji, Ino, Sasuke, hello!"

Shikamaru, yawning as he strolled over, said, "Good morning, Naruto. You don't need to call everyone by name."

"Haha, it's such a happy thing to be able to call you by your names so early in the morning!"

Naruto disagreed with Shikamaru's words and spoke directly.

"Good morning, Naruto-kun," Hinata greeted from the side.

"Dead Last, why are you so energetic today?" Sasuke asked Naruto curiously.

"Huh? Arrogant Sasuke, stop arguing first thing in the morning, okay?"

Naruto pouted; he didn't want his good mood ruined.

"No, Naruto, Sasuke means that today seems to be the final exams," Ino, standing next to Sasuke, said, shaking her finger.

"A... a test?!" Naruto was stunned at first, then shouted in disbelief.

"I knew it..." Sasuke looked speechless.

On this special day, he was surprised to see Naruto still so energetic.

That's because he definitely forgot he had an exam today, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a good mood right now.

"Naruto-kun, it's okay. I heard the theory test this time will be easier."

Hinata nearby, offered some words of comfort to Naruto.

"Really?" Naruto had been looking dejected, immediately asked with his eyes lighting up upon hearing this.

"Yes, that's what Hagoromo- sensei said," Hinata nodded.

Ga--

Naruto had just been all smiles, froze, only one thought echoing in his mind.

That's what Teacher Hagoromo said.

Ino, rubbing her forehead, comforted Hinata was bewildered by Naruto's expression:

"Hinata, Hagoromo- sensei's simplicity always aims for the highest level of difficulty."

"Let's go, or we'll be late." Shikamaru called to the others as they followed.

--

As the class monitor of the teacher training class, Hagoromo will not be proctoring the final theoretical exam.

He was sitting in his office at the moment, with Iruka beside him, who was writing and drawing on documents.

"Hagoromo, should we go check on the various classrooms later?"

After a while, Iruka put down the documents and asked Hagoromo.

"Yes, that's fine." Hagoromo nodded, after all, it was indeed necessary to go and inspect the area.

"Iruka, are you thinking of taking over the position of class monitor for the teachers' class next year?"

Yu Yi got up to pour Hagoromo a cup of tea, walked to the desk, handed it to Iruka, and asked as she did so.

"Huh?!"

Iruka, whose expression had been calm, stared at Hagoromo in disbelief.

"Don't joke around. My skills are just so-so, and I only just became the vice class monitor."

Iruka waved his hand as he spoke.

"The position of class monitor in a teachers' training program is not something that can be filled solely based on merit."

Hagoromo responded nonchalantly.

"Besides, I heard the classes you teach all do well academically, so you should consider it."

It wasn't that Hagoromo didn't want to continue in this position, but rather that he was genuinely busy lately.

Not to mention the daily training, there were also the Jonin exams after the final exams, one after another.

I expect to be even busier when the next school year starts.

"I don't think I'm qualified," Iruka said, shaking his head in refusal.

"Think it over carefully. There's still plenty of time. I don't think I'll have much free time next year."

Hagoromo didn't try to persuade him further, after all, Iruka needed to think this through first.

"Hmm? Are you really going to be promoted to Jonin?"

Upon hearing what Hagoromo said, Iruka asked with a curious expression.

"Yes, but how did you know?" Hagoromo nodded calmly as she asked.

"Well, a lot of teachers have been discussing this lately."

Iruka scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, since he'd only heard about it from someone behind his back.

"Everyone's saying you might be promoted to Jonin, but because you've been so busy, they haven't been able to contact you much."

"I see." Hagoromo replied to Iruka thoughtfully.

It seems someone deliberately stirred up this up.

After all, there are some ninjas from small families in the Ninja Academy, so it's not surprising that Hagoromo would be known.

However, deliberately discussing it would be a bit like stirring up trouble.

"Let's go on a patrol together. Think carefully about what I said."

Hagoromo stood up and beckoned Iruka to come along.

"Okay." Iruka nodded and followed Hagoromo's footsteps.

--

Along the way, every teacher who saw Hagoromo and greeted her.

Hagoromo and greeted everyone with a big smile.

"Hagoromo, it seems your class is in first place again this time."

Iruka looked out the window at Naruto's class, comparing it to the other classes.

At least in Hagoromo's class, very few people would scratch their heads and hesitate to start writing.

"It's good if they get good results. After all, if these kids can learn effectively, then we're taking responsibility for them."

Hagoromo remained calm, after all, there were no rewards for the final exams last semester.

Therefore, he didn't care much about this type of exam.

"Well said."

Iruka nodded in agreement, and just as he was about to look away, he saw a dark figure.

When did our school get cats?

Hearing this, Hagoromo was taken aback, then turned her head to look.

Just as Sansan's plump body slipped away, Hagoromo Yi narrowed her eyes.

What's that fat cat doing at school at this hour?

Sansan, with a sausage in his mouth, looked panicked. He shouldn't have gone this way.

I was planning to visit Naruto's class, but I ended up running into Hagoromo instead.

I only ate some sausages, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Thinking this, the Cat San San quickly fled the scene.

Just as Hagoromo and Iruka were about to return to their office after inspecting the classroom, a teacher with an anxious expression walked quickly towards them.

"Hagoromo's Team, there's a thief at school! We just discovered a large batch of sausage ingredients are missing while we were preparing."

Hearing this, Hagoromo was taken aback, then thought of the chubby figure from just now.

This guy...

Today is the final exam day, so Hagoromo is planning to have a meal with all the students and teachers after the exams.

The ingredients were prepared with the help of the Akimichi Clan.

So, just how sensitive is this cat's nose?

Hagoromo waved his hand and said to the teacher who had reported to him, "Don't look for it yet. Go to the Akimichi Clan and talk to their patriarch."

"Just have them send over another batch; I'll pay for it all at once."
