Konoha, July 1st, sunny.
On the day of Chunin Exams, at the door of the Ninja Academy.
At this time, people were crowding around the gate of the campus. They were all genin from all over the country who had come to take the Chunin Exam. Some were waiting for their teammates, while some had already walked out of the school without saying a word.
People who walked out were either holding their Forehead Protector and looking unhappy, or they were lost, or they were mumbling to themselves.
But no matter what it is, it seems that they have given up before Exam even started entering school.
"It seems there is some mystery?"
Sasuke, who took this scene in his eyes and was waiting for his teammates to arrive, was a little concerned.
The rule of Exam is that once you step into the Ninja Academy, you can't leave unless you give up. But it's not time for Exam to start yet. Why do these people seem to have been eliminated?
However, most of the people who were looking at leaving were dejected, and most of the people who could put on such expressions were not very good. After observing them for a while, Sasuke didn't take them too seriously.
Looking at the long-lost building in front of him, Sasuke was a little lost.
One year after graduation, looking at the familiar Ninja Academy in front of me, it feels like a world away.
After all, too many things happened in this year.
Because of the relationship between Naruto and other classmates at school, it can be said that Sasuke had a fairly happy life as a student, and he also received enthusiastic care from his classmates.
In his memory, his student days were still very good--
Although most of the time in the later period, he just used Shadow Clone to go to school.
It's just that no one in the entire school can see through Shadow Clone.
"Sorry! Sasuke-kun, we're late!"
After a while, Karin's apologetic shout sounded, and Hinata brought her to join Sasuke.
"... It's okay, I just arrived not long ago."
Sasuke looked at Karin's panting look and the 'apology' written all over his face, and shook his head.
"Sorry Sasuke-kun, I should have noticed earlier and helped Karin prepare Ninja Tools."
Hinata also explained that it was mainly due to the sudden return of Sasuke yesterday, and also the temporary stay of the Hyuga Clan for convenience, which caused Karin, who lived under the same roof, to be so excited that he stayed up all night.
In the morning, Hinata went over to wake her up... but for this reason, he didn't take any action, so Hinata helped her explain it in a smooth direction.
"Well, let's go into school."
"School... Well, it turns out Konoha, did Ninja study in school?"
Hearing this title, Karin raised his head and looked at the Konoha Ninja Academy, sighing.
At this time, she was no longer dressed as a villager, and had her red hair slightly trimmed. She wore Konoha Forehead Protector on her forehead and put on a standard mesh female Ninja dress, which made the girl who was about twelve years old even more youthful and energetic.
"Well, this time Exam is located in the Ninja Academy we studied before. When we were young, everyone in Konoha came here to learn basic knowledge and Ninjutsu together, and then they graduated and became Genin."
Hinata nodded. During this period of time, she and Karin got along very happily. She also heard about her life experience from Karin. She was very moved by her, and the two became good friends.
She knew that Karin's question was not pretentious, but that in her knowledge, the existence of the Ninja Academy was magical in itself.
And in Shinobi World, even in Five Great Nations, the knowledge about Ninja is mostly consumables.
For example, Genin is just a rookie cannon fodder in the eyes of many people.
Even many clients who come to entrust tasks will have a more or less contemptuous attitude when they learn that the Ninja serving them is just Genin.
Not to mention a student who is not even Genin.
In the Kusagakure that Karin has experienced, most of the Ninjas are still working alongside the famous Ninja as apprentices. Only those who perform well enough will be trained by the superiors by cultivating their own private soldiers, thereby improving.
Just like the original Karin, because of his special constitution, a so-called Genin quota was allocated.
But in fact, not only did no one teach her the basics of ninjutsu, Ninjutsu, etc., no one even took her seriously, they just used her as a drug to carry with them.
In addition to them, many new faces came one after another at the school gate.
They are all Genin from other countries who came to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams, and many of them are discussing the Ninja Academy system.
"The Ninja Academy system originated from us, Konoha, and was founded by Lord Second Hokage..."
As Hyuga Clan, Young Lady, Hinata's historical knowledge is quite passable.
"Hey, that's it!"
The more I get to know Konoha, Karin, the more I understand how unfair it was for my country to suffer.
Once there is an opportunity to take advantage of one's weakness, even one as strong as Konoha cannot protect itself. The world of Ninja is so cruel.
Even Ninja Academy itself is an organization founded by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju to avoid talent shortages and to stably ensure that Konoha can cultivate enough outstanding Ninja in each generation.
In essence, Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's mind and political ability are beyond those of most of Shinobi World's forces.
Under the leadership of his excellent power planning and advanced understanding of the future, Konoha has continued to thrive even after losing God of Shinobi Hashirama Senju.
Back then, every time Second Hokage Tobirama Senju of Konoha made some moves, other forces would rush to imitate them. Unlike the legendary "God of Shinobi" First Hokage, many of Second Hokage's arrangements and plans were operations that could see the future layout and develop a strong village.
And the students Second Hokage himself trained were the students of Third Hokage, who were also capable people and were the core backbone of Konoha -
But now it has been almost taken care of by Third Hokage.
In essence, the current Third is also imitating his teacher and entrusting everything Konoha to the next generation as much as possible.
Konoha's ability to maintain its reputation as the strongest Shinobi Village is also related to the series of measures established by Second Hokage.
Sasuke looked back at Hinata and Karin, and in front of them, he casually took out his Chunin Ninja Exams recommendation letter, which was given to him by Hinata.
[Sasuke Uchiha recommends him to participate in Chunin Exams in the name of Kakashi Hatake]
[As a result, Kakashi guy still didn't come back?]
Sasuke is a little confused. Logically speaking, this Chunin Exams is the most important thing for the village in the near future. Why did he leave the village during this period and fail to come back?
Looking at Sasuke confirming the admission certificate, Karin seemed to remember something and quickly took out his admission ticket and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I didn't forget to bring it."
Hinata also took out his admission ticket.
"Well, let's go in. Our examination room is on the third floor."
Sasuke nodded and led the team towards the school.
[Sasuke-kun, he did it on purpose, he also specifically reminded me to check if there was anything missing... so gentle, considerate, and I like it!]
Karin, who had been observing Sasuke, of course noticed the other party's intentions and clenched his fists excitedly.
[Okay, I will never drag Sasuke-kun and Hinata down when the time comes. Well, come on, me!]
But as soon as I walked into the school classroom Corridor, I heard an extremely noisy shout.
