Tsunade, the Supervising Jonin

This was only to be expected. Uchiha Ryo had come from Root. What was Root? Once you entered, you had no future and no past. Danzo had long since erased all of Uchiha Ryo's records.

The Uchiha Clan didn't even know a person named Uchiha Ryo existed. Or perhaps he had once existed, but according to the records, he was already "dead."

And so the matter was blown over, made into nothing more than a minor incident. However, Sarutobi Hiruzen still held the Uchiha Clan responsible for what had happened.

As for Danzo, he got off scot-free. Hyuga Shin didn't know about it, but even if he had, he wouldn't have been surprised.

The bromance between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō was a story that could go on for three days and three nights, so Sarutobi Hiruzen certainly wouldn't give Danzo any trouble.

After what happened last time, though, Danzo had also settled down and stopped bothering Hyuga Shin.

Hyuga Shin wasn't afraid of Danzo causing trouble anymore.

Things were different now. If Danzo dared come after him again, Hyuga Shin wouldn't mind taking down all of Root.

To put it without exaggeration, with his current strength, he could take on an entire village by himself without any problem. Even if Madara Uchiha showed up, Hyuga Shin would beat him to a pulp.

It wasn't that Hyuga Shin had gotten carried away. He was absurdly overconfident. Even if the Sage of Six Paths showed up, he'd dare to go toe-to-toe with him.

Well, that was all just hot air. But he could still take on Konoha by himself.

He had chakra on the level of a Tailed Beast and Taijutsu that could shatter a small mountain with one punch. Even Madara Uchiha as he was now couldn't claim he'd definitely win against him.

That was how much his strength had grown over the past few years. It was even more ridiculous than he'd imagined.

In terms of the quality and quantity of his chakra, only the Nine-Tails could surpass him among the Tailed Beasts. Even the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, couldn't match Hyuga Shin.

As for Taijutsu, Hyuga Shin was unquestionably the strongest in the Ninja World right now. He could already use all of the Tenseigan's abilities.

One thing worth mentioning was that Hyuga Shin's Tenseigan Chakra Mode wasn't green, but blue—the same color as ordinary chakra, only darker.

That was for the best. Hyuga Shin didn't want to be covered head to toe in an apologetic shade of green. Anyone who didn't know better might think he was glowing green.

Actually, Otsutsuki Toneri's Tenseigan Chakra Mode wasn't exactly green either. It was more of an indigo.

Once Hyuga Shin entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, he could briefly reach Six Paths Level. He was something like a pseudo-Six Paths Level fighter.

So at this point, Hyuga Shin wasn't afraid of anyone. Even if the old Sage of Six Paths appeared, Hyuga Shin wouldn't fear him.

Hyuga Shin's Dojutsu: Takamagahara could make him immune to all damage once activated. That was what gave him confidence.

Unlike Obito's Kamui, Takamagahara didn't let him slip into another dimension to evade attacks. It made him immune to all damage. Even if Kaguya Otsutsuki hit Hyuga Shin with an Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb, he'd be fine. That was how ridiculous it was.

With such an overpowered dojutsu, the cost was naturally just as steep. Even with Hyuga Shin's immense ocular power and chakra, he could only keep it active for ten minutes at most.

That was why Hyuga Shin had become so overconfident. He feared no one.

Actually, if he fought a Six Paths Level opponent, Hyuga Shin would still lose. His abilities were ridiculous, but his raw strength fell short. The only exception would be if he could unleash Ryujin Jakka.

Hyuga Shin had drawn four more times over the past few years. But perhaps he'd used up all his luck when he drew Ryujin Jakka, because aside from a Mangekyo Sharingan Evolution Serum, everything else had been junk.

Still, Hyuga Shin was quite satisfied. With this Mangekyo Sharingan Evolution Serum, Mikoto could awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

It cost 300,000 exchange points in the shop. If Hyuga Shin hadn't drawn it this time, it would've taken him another ten years or more to afford it.

And in a few days, he'd have another chance to draw. He wondered if he'd get anything good.

Hyuga Shin wasn't the only one whose strength had improved. Mikoto and Kushina had also become frighteningly strong.

Mikoto had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and reached Jonin level. Kushina was also a Jonin, and she was even a little stronger than Mikoto now.

The three of them were undoubtedly the strongest students in the Ninja World. They were already at elite Jonin, Kage Level strength, yet they were still killing time at the Ninja Academy.

Today was Hyuga Shin and the others' last day at school. Their graduation exam was today, and those who passed would become full-fledged ninja.

Those who failed would have to repeat the year at the Ninja Academy or choose another line of work instead of becoming ninja.

When Hyuga Shin, Mikoto, and Kushina arrived in the classroom together, Ueno Juri was already there waiting for them.

They nodded to their teacher, then returned to their seats.

Ueno Juri didn't say anything, and his expression was rather grim. The entire class fell silent.

Only after everyone in Class A, Year Five had arrived did Ueno Juri speak.

"We've spent five years together, and now it's time to say goodbye. You've always given me a headache, but now that you're leaving, I have to admit I'm feeling a little sad," Ueno Juri said, his eyes already turning red.

"Tch! You're already this old, and you're still going to cry? That's embarrassing," Nawaki said scornfully.

"What are you saying, you little brat, Nawaki? It's just because the wind was blowing too hard and got dust in my eyes. I can't wait for you little troublemakers to leave!" Ueno Juri snapped, embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Ueno-sensei. We'll come visit you," Minato Namikaze said with a warm, sunny smile.

This time, Ueno Juri fell silent, quieting the whole classroom. Minato Namikaze even wondered if he'd said something wrong.

"To tell you the truth, I really wish none of you would pass the exam," Ueno Juri said heavily.

Just a few days earlier, the Land of Fire had gone to war with the Land of Rain. The Land of Wind and the Land of Earth had joined in as well, and the two sides were using the Land of Rain as their battleground, beginning with small-scale probing attacks.

Graduating now wasn't a good thing for them. Some of them might die on the battlefield.

Although Ueno Juri had never been to war, he had seen Konoha's devastation after the First Shinobi World War.

He'd been only seven or eight years old then. He'd watched the ninja return in triumph to a Konoha filled with mourning, many of them missing limbs.

He didn't want his students to go through something like that.

"Sensei, I know you don't want us to leave, but you don't have to curse us by wishing we'd fail the exam," Nawaki said unhappily.

"Haha! I was wrong. Anyway, just do your best," Ueno Juri said, scratching his head.

Chapter 50: Tsunade, the Supervising Jonin

Graduation exams were stricter now than they had been at the start of the story. Students were tested not only on the Three Basic Techniques, but also on their combat ability and basic theory.

That was no problem for Class A. Not a single student was held back. They all passed and became full-fledged ninja.

Seeing this, Ueno Juri gave a bitter smile. He didn't know whether it was good fortune or a tragedy.

During peacetime, Ueno Juri would've been so happy he'd jump for joy. Now, all he wanted was for his students to survive in one piece.

Once the exam was over, all that remained was for them to be assigned a supervising Jonin. Ueno Juri had left after dividing them into teams, and the classroom was now a noisy mess.

"Shin, who do you think our teacher will be?" Kushina asked softly, leaning against Hyuga Shin's back.

"I can't see the future. How would I know?"

The three of them had been placed on the same team. He didn't know whether it had been deliberate or just luck.
