Naruto remembered the graduation training course they had held back in Konoha. Iwagakure might be short on Jonin now, but they could start training the kids early, letting students take on simple missions before they even graduated.

The Tsuchikage froze briefly, then seemed to realize something. He nodded, wrote an invitation letter, and handed it to Naruto. Naruto took it, smiled, and
