“Oh, and Konan's Graduation Exam is today. Remember to pick her up afterward. We're going to rest for a while,” Kushina said with a huff.
Under Uchiha Yin's guidance, Konan was probably already stronger than most people, perhaps even as strong as a Jonin. But to help her settle into Konoha faster and make more friends, they had still enrolled her in the Ninja Academy.
At the Ninja Academy, Konan was even stronger than the teacher of her class.
But she had not applied to graduate early. She had stayed on at the Ninja Academy.
It was not to improve her strength, but to give her a fuller life.
Konan had become a recognized prodigy at the Ninja Academy.
Today was the day she graduated, which meant she would be assigned a Team Leader.
As Konan's master, Uchiha Yin would naturally be that Team Leader.
So attending the meeting where Team Leaders were assigned was just a formality for him. There was nothing he needed to worry about.
As for Konan's teammates? Just as Orochimaru had led Anko alone in the original story, and Tsunade had led Shizune alone, Uchiha Yin would probably lead only Konan this time.

All that talk in the original story about making each team roughly equal in ability had clearly been meant for the Ninja Academy students'
