I Envy Your Luck

"Yes!"

The graduates fell silent, nodding repeatedly.

"Don't worry, as long as you follow your Guiding Jonin and train diligently, you won't embarrass yourselves. But if anyone isn't serious, then things might change! Alright, that's all I have to say! Get ready for your graduation exams!"

After saying that, the man left, while all the graduates looked serious.

There are things that people don't say, but they know them anyway.

If he loses face, he'll definitely get what's coming to him if he asks.

Although the educational environment in Kirigakure is no longer as cruel and bloody as it used to be, it is still strict.

If you do something wrong, you will be punished accordingly.

Losing face for the ninja village carries particularly severe punishment. It could very well affect one's own future, so naturally no one dares to gamble with their prospects.

Graduation assessment is coming soon.

Compared to five years ago, graduation assessments have changed significantly.

Five years ago, it was a life-or-death battle, requiring competition to select the qualified participants.

Now, it's just a simple test of Genin. As long as you pass the test, you can graduate successfully.

Of course, unlike the simple tests in Konoha, such as using the Clone Technique and throwing Kunai, the tests in Kirigakure are slightly more difficult.

In addition to these, swordsmanship, Ninjutsu, and actual combat ability will also be assessed.

Each section is worth 10 points, and only those who achieve a passing score in the final total score can graduate successfully.

Naturally, the chosen individuals would be stronger than those from Konoha. However, their future development depends on their individual opportunities.

School merely provides a starting point, laying a solid foundation for them. How high they can go in the future depends on their personal opportunities, hard work, interpersonal relationships, and the correctness of the path they choose.

The leaders of Kirigakure firmly believe that in the future, there will always be a few people who will be able to defy fate and achieve remarkable success.

Ultimately, twenty-seven people qualified, and they were divided into nine teams of three, referred to as Class One to Class Nine.

Of these nine teams, the nine best students formed three Special Class. The remaining eighteen students were evenly distributed among those with excellent, good, and average grades.

Promote excellence through superior education, and use the superior education to guide general education, so as to distribute educational resources as evenly as possible.

After being divided into teams, they were immediately notified to gather in the candidate room in the afternoon to await the arrival of their respective Guiding Jonin.

Those who failed were sent back to school to study again and try to graduate successfully next time.

"I wonder who our Jonin will be! I'm so excited, I can't sit still at all!" Everyone in the nine teams thought the same thing.

Soon, the candidate room welcomed its Guiding Jonin.

"Team 9, come with me! I'm your Guiding Jonin, Makoto Kimura!"

This was a man with a huge scar on his right eye and a fierce face, which made the people of Team 9 feel uneasy.

This Guiding Jonin doesn't seem very easy to get along with!

"Team 8, come with me!"

"Team 7, follow me!"

"Team 6..."

"..."

The Guiding Jonin arrived one by one, and those present noticed a pattern: the lower the rank of the squad, the earlier they were called away. And the later the Guiding Jonin arrived, the greater their strength and reputation.

"Click!"

Just then, the door to the candidate room opened again, and a female ninja walked in.

When they saw this female ninja, everyone was taken aback!

"Lord Yugito, it's you!!"

The group of ninja graduates present couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as the aloof and mature female ninja entered, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"What, you're surprised that I became Guiding Jonin? You're not welcoming me?"

Seeing everyone's surprise at her arrival, Yugito couldn't help but joke, and immediately the cold indifference she had shown when she entered the door disappeared.

"No, no, how could that be! We're just surprised that someone of your status would be serving as Guiding Jonin!"

One of the ninjas sitting in the Team 4 stood up and said quite respectfully.

"Hmph, you've got some nerve, kid. Good for you. From now on, if anyone bothers you, I'll protect you! Come with me, Team 4!"

With Yugito waved to Team 4 and was taken away amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I need to let you know in advance, so you can be mentally prepared!"

Yugito approached the door, he suddenly seemed to remember something, glanced at the three members of Team 2 with amusement, and said, "You guys are very lucky. Your Guiding Jonin, is an exceptionally talented individual. I think the entire Shinobi World would envy your luck!"

After saying that, she left with Team 4. But her words caused a huge uproar among the remaining three classes.

"The entire Shinobi World will be envious? Doesn't that mean..."

The nine people exchanged glances and suddenly had a very bold guess: Could it be that their guess was really correct, Ye Liangnai really became Guiding Jonin?

"Gurgle!"

Thinking about this, all nine of them couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are just too lucky! You actually got to receive personal guidance from that person! Ahhh, I'm so envious of you guys! Can we switch classes?"

A girl from Team 3 said excitedly to three people from Team 2.

Of course, the Team 2 declined. Suppressing their excitement, they humbly said, "No, what if we're just imagining things? How could that lord possibly descend in person! You must be overthinking it!"

That's what they said, but you could tell how excited they were just by looking at their wide smiles that almost reached their ears.

"Still saying no? How could it not be! Only that sir could receive such praise, making the entire Shinobi World envious!"

Someone from Team 1 ruthlessly exposed Team 2's modesty, and looked on with a envious expression, as if they desperately wanted to swallow Team 2's luck whole.

Yes, if I could get guidance from Ye Liangnai, my life would be worth it!

If word gets out that they are Ye Liangnai's disciples, how prestigious that will be!

"Creak!"

Just then, the sound of the door opening came again. Everyone looked over and saw a handsome young man with long hair, wearing a sky-blue shirt with his chest exposed, walk in.

"Utakata!"

Upon seeing the young man, the nine people quickly greeted him. This young man was none other than Utakata, the Six-Tails Jinchuriki Utakata.

"Team 3, come with me!"

Utakata glanced at the people in Team 3, remaining silent and sparing with his words.

"Is Utakata person in Team 3 this year? He really seems to have a connection with Team 3!"

Seeing that Utakata had taken Team 3 away, the remaining six thought to themselves.
