I practice breathing in Konoha

Chapter 18
Sunshine shines into the room through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, making the room bright and warm. In the meeting room of the ninja school, a group of ninjas in charge of this exam put the task reports of the students on the special review table.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat at the main seat, the two elders Mitomon Yan and Zhuanju Koharu took the second place respectively, and the six selected special jounin also stood in the room. After waiting for everyone to submit the task report, the inspector The count is correct, and the report is placed at the desks of the three generations and the two elders for review.

"Third generations, this is the timetable for this actual combat exercise, as well as each teacher's detailed evaluation of each group's actions!" Iruka put a large stack of documents on his desk, and reported this time in Hokage's office The specifics of the exercise.

"Let's read it!" Sandai looked up at Iruka wearing a Hokage hat.

"Yes." Iruka nodded and replied, in order to prevent misreading, he stepped forward to pull out the report, and read it aloud to Sandai Hokage.

"There are a total of 9 groups in this exam."

"The first team is: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Yume, and Hinata Hinata. The time spent on the exercise: three minutes and three seconds."

"The second team is: Uchiha Sasuke, Namiki Youya, Uzumaki Naruto, the exercise time: three minutes and 40 seconds."

"The third team is: Takemoto Kaede, Mita Soto, and Haruno Sakura. The exercise time is four minutes and 15 seconds."

"The fourth team is: Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka. The time spent on the exercise: 40 minutes and [-] seconds."

"That's right." San Dai gently exhaled a puff of smoke and explained vaguely.

"The point is that child Kaede Takemoto. I have observed him for a long time."

"I'm not afraid of him running away after finishing his studies."

"The three are very good scout-type ninjas. Their personalities are not enough to be used as combat-type ninjas to perform tasks. However, forming a reconnaissance team of the three and cooperating with other teams may produce an effect of 1+1+1 greater than 3. , I propose to form groups of three into the Border Force."

"Santa's words will be designated as Anbu Operations Class."

"The first category is adopted abandoned babies and children of unknown origin. Muye Village will adopt them, and those with special qualifications will also enter the ninja school and various departments to study, but they will not be reused, only let them fight in the ninja The village field, to deal with some chores, advanced ninjutsu will not be open to them."

"As for the learning of medical ninjutsu and sealing ninjutsu, the necessary premise is that a lot of memory and practice are required."

At this time, Mitomonyan, who was on the sidelines, coughed slightly, and after making eye contact with Sarutobi Hiruzen, stated his suggestion in an old and unquestionable tone: "Due to the particularity of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, this The assigned department of the two children is the border defense force, and the scope of tasks is limited to the surroundings of Konoha Village. The elite Jōnin Hatake Kakashi led the team into the border defense force. Namikiyou can also see that he has a strong combat talent, It is tentatively scheduled to recruit talents for the Anbu Operations Division, and the above is my proposal."

"But Sasuke is still immersed in his own world. Although the situation has improved a lot, he still treats people coldly."

"Haruno Sakura, if she really has strong chakra control and theoretical talents as Iruka analyzed, and her childishness may be due to her age, she will be incorporated into the border defense force first, and the old man will set its development direction as the medical department. Dissent!!"

"The purpose of inviting everyone here this time is to allow everyone to go through a preliminary review of the selection of students, and when it comes to duels, focus on whether the students meet the selection criteria."

"And I asked him a lot of questions in class at school. His memory is really just like what Iruka said, like a photographic memory."

Iruka was slightly taken aback, determined in his heart that the first two of each graduation inquiry must be to enter the border guards and wait for assignment, but he still replied in a slow tone:
"Inuzuka Ya is a strong learner and is inseparable from the ninja dog Akamaru. He has an extremely keen sense of smell, but he has a very impulsive personality and needs to be improved."

Let’s talk, the third generation looked at Iruka, and after Iruka responded with a prepared look, he started the graduation inquiry of each class of students: “What’s the evaluation of Inuzuka Kiba, Yume Shino, and Hinata Hinata?”

"Takemoto Kaede, is a very obedient child. He and Haruno Sakura are competing for the first place in the class in every theory test. He is also willing to study ninjutsu, gymnastics, throwing and theory courses. Kung Fu, progressing rapidly, seems to have the ability of photographic memory, but also diligent in practice, the ability to learn and apply is extremely fast, and there is great room for improvement."

After a sigh, he walked to the locker aside, bent down to look for the shredded tobacco brought from home.

After thinking quietly for a while, Iruka's eyes lit up, as if he had found a way to describe it.

I saw Aoba Yamashiro coming out of the door, bowed slightly to Sandai and said, "Master Hokage, look for me!"

After a lot of questioning by the students, the third generation and the two elders behind them finally went through every student and made a distribution plan one by one.

The weeds are withered and yellow, and red or orange wild fruits hang on the branches.

"The third category is people like you. Both parents are in Konoha Village. They have clean backgrounds and have the highest loyalty to Konoha. The ninja school and ninjutsu are fully open, and the assessment of your Konoha Village will also be ignored. , you can cultivate them with confidence and boldness.”

"This Kaede Takemoto is the third type. His parents are all in Muye Village. According to the observation in the school, he is not the kind of heartless person. You can use it with confidence."

"If not, send it to the medical department. His chakra control ability is also very good."

After Iruka finished reading the names of the last couple and put the timetable back on the desk, the third generation had the time to put down the pipe in his hand and announced loudly in the room:

Takemoto Kaede didn't even look at it, his face was silent.

"Hinata Hyuga has a gentle personality and strong theoretical ability, but she is also a little cowardly."

The autumn wind is bleak, and the red leaves are falling.

"Yurome Shino has a strong learning ability. At a young age, she has already seen that calmness and stability are perfectly in line with the ninja regulations, and it is not appropriate to surprise and win."

The shuriken flew towards the red heart of the tree trunk, wrapped in a gust of wind, and disappeared again after a brief echo in the silent mountain forest.

After finishing the general summary, Iruka stood respectfully with his hands down, waiting for the results of the discussions between the three generations.

"I don't need to talk about the rest, in short, don't give up polishing him just because of Elder Xiaochun's evaluation of him."

Afterwards, the special jounin who attended this distribution will receive it again in the order of the Anbu, Administration, Medical, Education, Interrogation, and Konoha Police Departments.

"The learning conditions for the sealing technique are set to level B for him."

Before he finished speaking, Sandai interrupted him with a smile: "Qingye, your family is a villager in Muye Village, right?"

"I'm sure that his actual combat ability is not the strongest, but there is no doubt that his learning ability, digestion ability, and future potential are the strongest in this class."

"But Takemoto Kaede, you're too honest, eh."

Yamashiro Aoba, who didn't understand the meaning of the third Hokage, nodded lightly: "Yes, parents are ordinary villagers of Konoha, and they entered the school through the entrance examination."

Nodding slightly to the third generation, Yamashiro Qing was stunned, and then said coyly: "Do you want to protect this child and directly learn medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques?"

"There's nothing wrong with calling you here this time, it's just about recruiting Anbu."

After listening to the report, the three generations of Hokage closed their eyes and rested their minds, and managed the first speech according to the pre-trial practice, and decided on the whereabouts of the next three:

"Sorry Hokage-sama, this word is not very accurate, let me think about it."

"In terms of all aspects of Santian's battle, he is excellent in throwing and physical skills, and qualified in theory and ninjutsu. He mainly focuses on combat."

The third generation nodded slightly, as if issuing an order to chase away guests from the mountain city of Qingye: "Sorry, I made you run again."

"It's too old. Takemoto Kaede respects the rules very much, and he is not willing to break the rules to do things. This may be his shortcoming."

Bowing slightly to Sandai, Yamashiro Aoba slowly said to Sandai: "I understand, Hokage-sama."

Sitting at the side and turning to bed, Xiaochun said in a timely manner, "Since Takemoto Kaede seems to have the ability to never forget, it is tentatively determined to be recruited by the Anbu Sealing Class or the Medical Department. Now the Anbu training camp has been experienced for a period of time. Waiting for him to be promoted to Chunin Then, the leading ninja will issue a letter of recommendation."

Then he took another deep breath, and when he couldn't feel the refreshing feeling in his lungs, he glanced down, and the tobacco in the pipe had been burned out.

There was a knock on the door, "Come in." The third generation continued to process the documents without looking up.

"Now everyone, go forward and get the exercise records of the students you value in order."

"Youya Namiki, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Throwing are very strong. Except for a little lack of theory, the others have reached a qualified ninja level."

"In addition, his ancestors entered Konoha when Ninjutsu was founded, so the possibility of him being a spy from another village is extremely small. He is simply the best candidate to learn this kind of ninjutsu with a huge amount of knowledge."

Looking at the third generation sitting behind the desk, Yamashiro Aoba said with some doubts: "Are you going to transfer this child to the combat department?"

"This type of people has the worst loyalty, most of them will defect and defect to the enemy, but if they have children, everything will change, and Muye Village will also improve their treatment."

The third generation was silent for a long time, but still expressed their current thoughts:
"His thinking is very different from other children. He was born in good living conditions, but he chose the path of being a ninja. I really don't understand what he is thinking."

After hearing the hidden meaning of the last sentence, Yamashiro Aoba bowed slightly in a calm and unhurried manner, then turned and opened the door to leave Sandai's office.

Taking down the pipe, shaking his head, the third generation slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to the mountain city Aoba:
"If a ninja has never been on the battlefield, how can he find ninjutsu suitable for changes in the battlefield."

Looking at the action report of the actual combat exercise in his hand, the third generation glanced at the six selectors standing in the room. Seeing that no one raised any objections, the other hand held a pipe and smoked silently. After a while, he continued to ask: "Takemoto Kaede, Mita Soto, and Haruno Sakura, what do you think of these three students?"

"What about Uzumaki Naruto!" Iruka touched his head, and said with some distress: "His physical skills and throwing can be regarded as upper-middle level and he can graduate, but ninjutsu and theory are completely messed up. If he meets the standard in the last year You can graduate."

"Haruno Sakura is an excellent student, her learning ability is not inferior to Takemoto Kaede's, and her chakra control ability is also very strong."

After the third generation breathed out a puff of smoke, he glanced around the group of ninjas, and said in a stern but calm tone: "This preliminary preliminary review is over here, I hope you will do your best in your posts, these ninjas Students are the future, I hope everyone can take good care of the next generation, so that the big tree of Konoha can grow stronger."

Sandai put down the red pen in his hand, sat up slightly, picked up the pipe beside him, and looked at the mountain city Aoba.

"There are three principles for employing people in Muye Village. The most important thing is loyalty!!!"

In the office of the Hokage Building, Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat in front of the office and processed a mountain of issued orders. From time to time, he took a red pen to correct something on the report, and sometimes he took the Hokage seal to stamp it down.

"Whoosh!" A figure quickly flashed across the forest, and in the gap between the branches, several shurikens came out of their hands.

"If you can't make it through, do some proper training in the Anbu training department."

"So, what you have to do is to observe how his body and ninjutsu are during sparring."

"If you have the talent for sealing techniques and are promoted to Chunin, send him to the leader of the sealing class, Masaki Tateishi."

A group of ninjas stood up, bowed down respectfully to Sandai and his advisory group to pay respect, and then many ninjas slowly dispersed after Sandai left.

Aoba Yamashiro looked up and stared at Sandai in surprise: "Master Sandai, Konoha Village has a strict hierarchy, and a student who has not yet graduated is a B-level."

"Next, I will ask Mr. Iruka's trainees personally, so don't be distracted."

"But Takemoto Kaede also has shortcomings. First of all, he doesn't seem to have the vitality of a child, although this is not a big problem."

"The second category is the war orphans of Konoha ninjas who lost their parents. There will be a certain monthly pension in the village, and the treatment is much better than the first category. But before we get married and have children, we won't have too many The resources are skewed, and at most it can only be given to the position of Jonin, and Ninjutsu must be exchanged for credit."

"However, some of them like to dress up, and they have the mind of a little girl at this age. Generally speaking, they are also very good students, but they still need to study and adapt to the ninja life for a period of time."

After hearing no clear objection on the scene, the third generation nodded slightly to Iruka, motioning him to analyze the next group of members:
"Sasuke's ninjutsu application has reached the graduation standard, his throwing skills are impeccable, his physical skills are also very strong, and his theory class is also among the best."

First, Morikawa Yuya of the border guards was particularly ninja. After hesitating for a long time in front of the table, he took away the exercise records of the three groups that Hokage had booked before, and silently retreated after making eye contact with Tsuneyuki Sanshiro.

At this time, the third generation looked at the file report of Kaede Takemoto in his hand, as well as the detailed evaluation written by Iruka, and silently stuffed it into a secret interlayer of the desk.

With a kick back, he flew towards the next place.

Dodging around among the trees a few times, and after wiping out all the shurikens in the leg pockets, he jumped off the tree in a jerk.

He pinched his waist and breathed slightly unsteadily. Although the few movements just now were simple, they also consumed a lot of energy.

Although there is the help of the secret medicine, it is still not a small burden for the body that has not grown up.
