Class Assignment Seven

The death of Mizuki did not cause much of a stir. The only thing worth mentioning was that Mizuki's girlfriend also mysteriously disappeared after his death, and instead, the Anbu gained an extra small squad.

The culprit behind this incident, Uzumaki Naruto, was also spared from punishment under the "magnanimity" of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and successfully graduated from the Ninja Academy.

After the chaotic incident passed, Sasuke looked at the 1,000-point Universal Proficiency Crystal that had appeared in his Shenlian panel and smiled with satisfaction. As expected, Mizuki was truly a useful tool!

Since there was a three-day break after graduating from the Ninja Academy before the rookies were assigned to a jonin instructor, Sasuke used these three days to learn three types of ninjutsu.

On the first day, Sasuke learned his favorite, Impure World Reincarnation. After all, it was a great tool for tormenting people!

[Impure World Reincarnation: Forbidden Jutsu; 100/5000]

Impure World Reincarnation was not a particularly difficult ninjutsu; the difficulty lay in the materials required and whether one could perfectly control those summoned by the technique.

Therefore, after learning this jutsu, Sasuke did not rush to find someone to experiment on, as he did not need to use Impure World Reincarnation just yet.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Sasuke looked at the genjutsu that had been added directly to his Sharingan and felt a strange sensation.

[Bringer-of-Darkness Technique: S-rank; 1000/1000]

Although he did not know why this genjutsu appeared in the Sharingan panel, Sasuke immediately used his Universal Proficiency to max out the proficiency of this technique, leaving him with 44,200 points of Universal Proficiency remaining.

As for the Yin Seal, Sasuke had no intention of practicing it for the time being. After all, once one started practicing this jutsu, they had to multitask, and Sasuke was about to face the so-called Copy Ninja: Hatake Kakashi. Sasuke did not want to accidentally expose himself, so it was better to be cautious.

Carefully putting away the scroll for the Yin Seal to carry with him, Sasuke used Scorch Release to burn the scrolls for Impure World Reincarnation and the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, then began to stroll around the town.

He was about to join Team 7, and Sasuke wanted to take one last look at Konoha before it was destroyed, as he wouldn't be able to see this scene for much longer. That big snake must be getting restless by now!

While Sasuke was wandering around, everyone else was undergoing grueling training. After all, they had heard rumors that if the jonin instructor deemed them unqualified, they would be sent back.

This was common knowledge to almost everyone, except for Naruto, who had no idea what he was about to face. As for Sasuke, he didn't care at all; when he was in a good mood, he was Kakashi, and when he was in a bad mood, he was Kakadong.

Sasuke's current strength, while not enough to say he could defeat Kakashi, should be enough to go toe-to-toe with him! After all, that guy went toe-to-toe with everyone.

Three days passed in a flash. This morning, Sasuke arrived at the classroom at his usual time, only to find that, except for himself and Naruto, the classroom was already full of people, which left Sasuke somewhat stunned.

"You're actually late!" Shikamaru asked with a strange expression upon seeing Sasuke.

"It's not that I'm late, it's that you guys came too early!" Facing Shikamaru like this, Sasuke shook his head helplessly and sat in his seat.

"That's true, but it's understandable that everyone is a bit nervous after hearing about that terrifying elimination rate!"

Hearing Sasuke's words, Shikamaru was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sat down in his seat nonchalantly.

"I'm more curious about who I'll be grouped with; after all, that determines the success rate of our missions!"

Sitting in his seat, Sasuke looked at Sakura, who was sitting next to him looking nervous, and spoke with some depression. After all, his team was unlikely to change, meaning his companions would still be Sakura and Naruto, who couldn't even afford a bowl of ramen.

"Who would know something like that!" Hearing Sasuke's words, Shikamaru also looked helplessly at Choji and Ino beside him. After all, based on the coordination of the three families, there was a 90% chance his teammates would be these two.

The two of them knew exactly who their teammates would be; Sasuke knew because he was a transmigrator, and Shikamaru knew because of the "Ino-Shika-Cho" combination.

"Crap, I'm late again!"

Just as Shikamaru and Sasuke both lowered their heads in silence, Naruto ran into the classroom at full speed with a roar.

"Huh? Where's Iruka-sensei?"

Naruto, who had run into the classroom, looked at the empty podium and pouted helplessly. What was going on? He hadn't actually been late.

"The designated meeting time is 9 o'clock; it's only 8:30 now, you aren't late!" Seeing Naruto, whose intelligence was clearly lacking, Shikamaru kindly reminded him.

"I see!"

After receiving Shikamaru's explanation, Naruto nodded as if he understood, then sat silently in his seat.

"Do I really have to be teammates with Naruto?" Looking at the thick-headed Naruto, Sasuke muttered to himself in his heart. Then, Sasuke began to think slowly: once he left Konoha, he must not have any connection with this guy, otherwise, it would be a nightmare.

"OMG, I hope Itachi won't entrust Shisui's eyes to this person!" Recalling the plot from the original work, Sasuke prayed silently in his heart.

Time passed slowly while everyone was nervous. Soon, the designated meeting time arrived, and Iruka walked in with the class roster already planned by the Hokage.

"Now, we will begin team assignments. Remember your assigned team; your jonin instructor will come to lead you shortly!"

Looking at the solemn faces of the crowd, Iruka smiled helplessly. After all, this time of year was the happiest time for the instructors at the Ninja Academy, but also the saddest.

The happy part was, of course, that some of the students in the classes they taught had successfully become genin, while the sad part was that they had to comfort those who were eliminated by the jonin.

"XXXX, XXX, XXX, Team 1!"

"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Team 7!"

"As expected!" Hearing Iruka's announcement, Sasuke pouted awkwardly.

"Oh yeah!"

"Great!"

Upon receiving the team information, Naruto and Sakura were both quite excited. Naruto was excited because he could be in a group with Sakura, and Sakura was excited because she could be in a group with Sasuke.

"Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, Team 8!"

"Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Team 10!"

Quite disgusted with Narudo, destined for Team 7!
