"Yes, the assessment has started too. Let's take a look." Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment, then activated the crystal ball and projected its image onto the large screen.
This was an improved version of the Telescope Technique, allowing more people to watch the graduation assessment.
"Here are the records of the students you'll be teaching." Hiruzen Sarutobi handed out the students' records by name.
The graduation assessment was not over yet, but the more capable students had caught Hiruzen Sarutobi's attention long ago, and he had already assigned them.
Most of these students would be assigned to Special Jonin, Jonin, or even Elite Jonin.
Those with less talent, who might not pass, would be assigned only after the assessment. Their team leaders would probably not be particularly strong, either.
"Oh, there's still a file on the table. Who's it for? Why hasn't anyone collected it? Is that person not here yet?"
Once the ninja had collected their files, Mitokado Homura spotted one still on the table and asked without ceremony.
Seeing Homura make an issue of it, Hiruzen Sarutobi paused before answering. "That's Konan's file. It's for Uchiha Yin."
"Oh? Uchiha Yin still isn't here?" Utatane Koharu asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Hiruzen, I hate to say it, but even if Uchiha Yin is your student, he has far too little regard for time."
"Isn't punctuality vital for a ninja? Every second matters. He's late to a meeting this important. Shouldn't he be punished?" Homura continued.
"If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can punish him for you." Homura and Koharu spoke one after the other, without giving Hiruzen a chance to respond.
Hiruzen's brow furrowed, displeasure darkening his face. He was unhappy with how Koharu and Homura were behaving.
After all, Hiruzen was the Third Hokage. By
