Guiding Jonin

Strictly speaking, class assignment is simply informing graduates of a pre-determined fact; the teacher is merely a mouthpiece.

"Class assignment list... Wow! Lord Hokage, that was a brilliant move!"

Sitting in his office, Katsuki held a photocopy of the class assignment list. He quickly found a familiar name on it and smiled.

Team 7: Uzumaki Shuyuan, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha.

Team 8: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Hinata Hyuga.

Team 10: Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka.

"Has the composition of Team 7 changed? That's interesting!"

"And they even Jonin instructors... Tsk tsk! How audacious!"

The class assignment process is finally coming to an end.

"... That concludes the class assignments." Iruka closed the roster, his facial muscles twitching, as if he, a man of great emotion, was about to say a few words.

But before he could open his mouth, he was ruthlessly interrupted.

"Iruka-sensei, you still haven't said which class Suzuran has been assigned to?"

Ino suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Shuyuan, who had already sat up, sat back down. All she needed to do was have someone speak up; now it was up to the teacher to say what to say.

Iruka looked troubled. He sighed and said, "I'm not entirely sure about the arrangements for Suzuran either. I asked the head of student affairs, and he said someone will handle it, without going through the school's procedures..."

"How exactly should we do it? Should someone be in charge? Should Suzuran go find someone herself?" Shuyuan cut to the chase, skipping the useless pleasantries.

"No need, no need. They said to just stay in the classroom. The person in charge will be here soon." Iruka waved his hand.

Seeing Ino, Ino reluctantly suppressed her opinion and sat back down, Shuyuan also shut her mouth.

However, their antics completely ruined the atmosphere, and Iruka gave a wry smile.

Classes with many geniuses definitely have more problems. Hopefully, the next class he teaches will be more average, even if it means less prize money...

"Iruka-sensei, can we kick Sasuke out of our class and let Suzuran join Team 7 instead?"

Naruto suddenly stood up and put forward a bold idea.

"Huh?"

Iruka scratched his head.

"Bang!"

Sasuke on the table and stood up, coldly saying, "Teacher, I think Naruto's academic level is completely inadequate. It would be better if he stayed in school for another year."

"Ah?"

Watching the two locked in a fierce battle, Iruka was utterly bewildered. What on earth was going on? What were they even thinking?

They've only just been assigned to classes, and there's already infighting. What will happen when they're on missions later?

"Ugh!!"

Shuyuan clutched her head with both hands and let out a painful groan.

Please accept my condolences.

Sitting behind her, Shikamaru looked at Shuyuan with immense sympathy. Caught between Sasuke and Naruto, he could already foresee how difficult the days ahead would be for her.

"Knock knock knock!!!"

The eraser nearly cracked the table, and the loud noise attracted the attention of the two arguing individuals.

Iruka glared at the two men with a fierce expression. "Naruto, Sasuke, both of you sit down! Your Jonin instructors are arriving Jonin. If you have any complaints, Jonin to them. Keep them to yourselves now, understand?"

Seeing Iruka's angry, lion-like expression, Naruto hesitated for a moment, but still followed his instincts and sat down with a pout.

"Sasuke!?"

Iruka turned his gaze to the window.

"Snort!"

The arrogant young man sat down and turned to look at the white clouds drifting across the sky outside the window.

After suppressing the two troublemakers, Iruka sighed wearily, "Stay in the classroom, your instructors will be here soon."

Dragging his weary body, he left the classroom, leaving the students staring at each other with wide eyes and anxious anticipation for what their future Jonin instructor Jonin be like.

"Who will be the instructor Jonin?"

Naruto stared intently at the classroom door, but after three minutes, he lost interest and slumped onto the desk, lost in thought.

"Splash--"

The classroom door opened, and a middle-aged man with a stubble beard walked in.

"Fourth class, the following three people, come with me."

The three students whose names were called left the classroom, half nervous and half excited.

Next, Jonin came in one after another, Jonin names, and led those who were called away.

The classroom gradually emptied out.

"So slow, why aren't we there yet?"

Naruto kept complaining. He was an impatient person to begin with, and seeing others leave one after another, he was already quite patient.

"Splash--"

The classroom door was opened again.

The person who came in was a very young man, who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, not much older than Naruto.

However, the newcomer was wearing a dark green vest, which indicated that he was Jonin.

"So handsome!"

Sakura and the other girls screamed softly, staring adoringly at the young Jonin.

His long white hair fell over his shoulders, and several small braids were tied with red ribbons. His eyes were as green as jade, and his features were handsome, with two bright red dots on his eyebrows.

He's really handsome!

"Rindou Uzumaki, Miki Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, the three of you from Team 5, come with me."

The handsome young Jonin finished speaking coldly, then turned and left decisively, with Rindou, Miki, and Sakura hurriedly chasing after him.

Sakura Jonin a little disappointed that she couldn't show off her handsome coaching Jonin, but there would always be another chance.

"No way? Such a young guy is already Jonin?" Naruto exclaimed in disbelief.

Shuyuan frowned. He Jonin the departing young Jonin; he felt like he'd seen him somewhere before.

"Shikamaru..."

Turning around, she instinctively wanted to ask Shikamaru, but there was only an empty seat.

Then it dawned on him that Shikamaru's Team 10 had been taken away by a man with a thick beard and a smoker. There were still thirteen people in the classroom. Suzuran had moved to the first row and was sitting with Shuyuan and Naruto, Sasuke remained firmly in his seat.

"Sorry, sorry, I chatted with an acquaintance on the way, that's why I'm late."

The person who pushed open the door was a young Jonin, who was certainly not as green as the previous one, and he wasn't Jonin uniform.

He wore a dark-colored turtleneck short-sleeved shirt and triangular leather protective gear on his upper body, and trousers of the same color on his lower body. There was a fire Gunbai emblem on the collar. Unlike the previous one, he had a masculine handsomeness and a rather rare round nose.

"Brother Shisui?"

Sasuke suddenly stood up, looking at the newcomer in surprise.

"Hey, Sasuke, long time no see! You've become a ninja now!"

Uchiha Shisui's smile was bright and cheerful, his clean and refreshing demeanor instantly lightening one's mood.

"Let's talk later, we have important business to attend to now... Let me see." Shisui pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. "Uzumaki Shuyuan, Sasuke Uchiha Naruto Uzumaki, and Uchiha Sasuke, the three from Team 7... and so on, plus the unofficial member, Suzuran, making a total of four. Come with me." (To be continued)
