When Lu Yu and the other three arrived at the classroom, many people were already there.

Looking around, the students' eyes were filled with excitement, as after the graduation exam, they would all be ninjas.

Even the lowest-ranked genin could accept missions and earn considerable rewards.

Moreover, after becoming a ninja, Konoha would provide certain benefits.

To put it mildly, no matter what, graduating was better than staying in the classroom listening to Iruka read ancient texts.

Lu Yu and the other three slumped listlessly on their desks, a look of reluctance on their faces.

The other students could understand their demeanor.

After all, these past few years at the Ninja Academy, they had barely seen these four ultimate powerhouses.

What was like hell for them, the Ninja Academy, was completely paradise for these ultimate powerhouses.

Hinata looked at Lu Yu lying beside her with no fighting spirit and took out a pack of milk from her drawer, handing it to him:

"Lu Yu-kun, cheer up."

Lu Yu took the milk with a sense of resignation and couldn't help but mutter:

"I really don't want to graduate. I just started enjoying the small boat..."

Hinata couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle at Lu Yu's appearance, shaking her head helplessly.

She had no idea what to do with this overly lazy guy.

Unlike Lu Yu, Naruto and Sasuke were both excited.

Although their strength had improved significantly under Lu Yu's special training, they still felt a lingering fear when they recalled the training they had undergone over the years.

Especially the 'Nine Deaths One Life' training that had just ended yesterday left a deep impression on them.

That was a real lake monster, with a gaping maw seven to eight meters wide, and it had almost eaten them several times.

At this moment, the two of them thought about going out on missions and no longer having to suffer Lu Yu's torment, and their mood was incredibly pleasant.

Naruto turned his head and said to Sasuke:

"Hey, Sasuke, even if we leave the boss, don't get lazy. Otherwise, the next time we meet, I'll beat you up."

"Tch, idiot."

"What did you say!"

Naruto, seeing Sasuke's disdainful gaze, jumped onto the table and glared fiercely at Sasuke.

One second later, a passing classmate accidentally pushed Naruto, and their first kiss was gone.

Many girls, who had finally seen the handsome Sasuke return to the classroom, were secretly admiring him. Seeing this scene, they felt their hearts break.

Wuwuwu, Sasuke is no longer pure...

Soon, the fan club led by Sakura beat Naruto until his face was bruised and swollen before they stopped.

Then, Iruka entered the classroom and, seeing the rarely all-present youngsters, happily announced—the graduation exam begins!

The exam content was simple: based on a draw, one of the basic Three Body Techniques would be assessed.

Soon, it was Lu Yu's turn to be assessed, and he drew the Clone Technique.

Lu Yu feigned difficulty in gathering chakra and finally produced a weak clone. He then collapsed on the ground, dizzy.

Lu Yu looked at Iruka seriously:

"Teacher, I'm sorry. I've wasted my precious study time over the years and can't even perform the most basic Clone Technique. I should go back and start over."

Iruka looked at Lu Yu's eloquent speech with a dark expression and said through gritted teeth:

"Nara Lu Yu, Clone Technique, full marks, next!"

Lu Yu never expected that Iruka, who had always been a teacher, would lie with his eyes open:

"No way, Teacher Iruka, you're openly faking it. This behavior is extremely despicable. I clearly..."

"If you don't leave now, I'll find Senior Yoshino. You know, you taught me the art of persuasion over the years."

"Cough, cough, alright, alright, honestly..."

Seeing Iruka say this, Lu Yu knew there was no hope of staying. He walked out with a look of disappointment and couldn't help but sigh:

"Alas, I'm graduating after all..."

Hearing this, Iruka's facial muscles twitched violently.

There were always oddballs every year, but this year was particularly so. Iruka never imagined that someone would not want to graduate...

Lu Yu held the forehead protector, truly reluctant to leave his lazy life.

Just then, Hinata, holding her ninja headband, rushed into Lu Yu's arms with a happy smile:

"Lu Yu-kun, I passed the exam!"

Lu Yu was slightly stunned by Hinata's action. He hadn't expected Hinata to be so bold as to throw herself into his arms in front of everyone.

However, seeing Hinata's happy expression, Lu Yu's mood improved significantly, and he couldn't help but pat her head.

"Congratulations on your graduation, Hinata."

Feeling the warmth of Lu Yu's palm, Hinata felt a wave of peace and happiness, miraculously not fainting. Neither of them spoke, savoring this rare, beautiful moment.

But soon, as others appeared, Hinata and Lu Yu separated.

Once Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Naruto, and Sasuke had all arrived, Lu Yu announced he was treating everyone to barbecue.

Then, the seven of them excitedly left the school for a small celebratory meal at the barbecue restaurant.

They had graduated. In their future lives as ninja, it would surely be difficult to gather everyone together.

That was precisely why the time they had now felt so precious...
