Chapter 305: The Supervising Jonin's Skills Aren't That Great…
A family's dinner time.
Sasuke Uchiha, having taken a beating today, was clearly a bit listless. "Brother, I'm graduating tomorrow…"
"Ah? I saw your name on the list this morning…"
Itachi Uchiha raised his finger and tapped his little brother on the forehead. "I've discussed it with the Third Hokage. Your supervising Jonin will be Kakashi-senpai. You must respect your supervising teacher!"
Fugaku Uchiha pondered for a moment, then squeezed his palm. "Our clan also has many Jonin. There's no need for Kakashi Hatake to teach Sasuke, is there?"
"Sasuke has other teammates in his class!"
Itachi Uchiha shook his head at his father. They couldn't just consider Sasuke's feelings. And compared to the ninjas of their clan, Kakashi was more suitable for the position of a supervising Jonin.
"Tch, Naruto will definitely be on it!"
Sasuke watched as his older brother picked up a piece of pork rib and extended it towards Kitahara's small bowl. With a quick movement, he snatched it away, made a face at the irritable crow, and then continued, "The other one won't be Karin, will it?"
"Uh… Karin, she…"
Itachi's expression was slightly awkward. "…has other arrangements."
How could he say this without hurting his little brother's tender heart?
After all, Karin's performance was extremely outstanding. She had been directly assigned to the Medical Corps as Tsunade's assistant. Neither Tsunade nor Itachi, nor even Karin herself, wanted to spend too much time in the transitional genin stage.
Sasuke looked at his brother's troubled expression and was actually pleasantly surprised. "Could it be she can't graduate?! I knew that woman broke too many rules!"
"…"
Itachi glanced cryptically at his little brother. He paid close attention to Sasuke's studies, and it just so happened that Sasuke's homeroom teacher, Iruka, was a former subordinate of his, so Itachi knew quite a lot…
Mikoto Uchiha, however, had no such reservations. She squinted her eyes and smiled. "Karin? She's a really nice little girl! I ran into Lady Tsunade and the others a few days ago. That little girl is going to enter the Medical Corps right after graduation!"
"That little girl named Karin?" Fugaku Uchiha frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I've seen a report. Someone recommended to me that they wanted to specially recruit a person from this batch of graduating genin. The name seems to be Karin."
"But unfortunately, Karin has already been reserved by Lady Tsunade. They don't have the guts to snatch someone from under her! As expected of the little girl who defeated Sasuke, she is indeed very outstanding!"
The world went dark before Sasuke's eyes. He shrank back and stammered, "Wh-what… what does that mean?"
"What are you afraid of!"
Fugaku used his chopsticks to tap his rice bowl and said in a deep voice, "That little girl Karin will soon be granted the rank of Chunin or even Special Jonin by the Hokage. Sasuke, you have to work twice as hard so you don't lose my face!"
"Uh…"
Itachi quickly pressed down on his father's chopsticks and said softly, "Sasuke is already outstanding enough. Just like Izumi, his overall grades in the Ninja Academy have been ranked first for six years! Karin just has some specialties…"
Generally, a ninja promoted to Chunin by the Hokage did not have the same prestige as someone who had distinguished themselves in the Chunin Exams. Karin was clearly an exception…
Because Tsunade was getting more and more tired of the tedious official duties, she wanted to cultivate a successor who was capable of replacing her. So she would do her utmost to have Karin promoted to Jonin in the shortest possible time.
With Karin's medical ninjutsu, she would quickly be promoted by the Medical Corps. After becoming a Chunin, she would leave the Medical Corps to do a few missions, and with Tsunade's support, it would be enough to be promoted to Special Jonin.
With such a fast promotion speed, who knows, by the time Sasuke participated in the Chunin Exams, Karin might be his proctor…
The next day. Ninja Academy.
"Team 10: Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka…"
Asuma Sarutobi walked up with a smile on his face. "I am your supervising Jonin, Asuma Sarutobi. Come with me!"
Naruto let out a bored yawn. "Hah! Shikamaru's team's supervising teacher is really something. He looks so old!"
"Oh?"
Sasuke's eyelid twitched. He looked at Asuma with some confusion. "That's the Third Hokage's son. I heard he volunteered to be my brother's supervising Jonin back then, but was beaten half to death by that shark-faced guy from the Hidden Mist Village…"
He had heard quite a few interesting stories!
Naruto couldn't help but say, "Huh? He doesn't sound very strong! Who's that shark-faced guy!"
"Kisame Hoshigaki, a man from the Hidden Mist. He comes to Konoha for a stroll whenever he's free. He even visited my brother not long ago. He always has that squinty-eyed smile of a villain who has hit it big…"
The little brat thought for a moment and continued, "That guy's attitude towards Kitahara is always very strange. A coward!"
"So Shikamaru's supervising Jonin's strength is, like…"
As the two little ones talked, their gazes met and simultaneously landed on Asuma Sarutobi's bearded face.
The meaning was self-evident.
And especially rude.
"…"
What kind of look is that!
A vein throbbed on Asuma's forehead. He forced himself to hold back his anger. He had to maintain his image in front of his cute subordinates!
That Kisame was hailed as the Tailed Beast Without a Tail, and was also known as the Mizukage in the Mist, secretly controlling the entire Land of Water!
He was young and ignorant back then; wasn't it normal for him to lose!
Asuma swore that he would definitely train his disciples well and have them give those two brats, who looked like they were asking for a beating, a good thrashing!
Soon, only Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha were left in the classroom. As for the red-haired Karin, she hadn't even shown up at the academy today. She was probably already in the office of the Head of the Medical Department…
That woman, she even has special privileges!
"So nervous, so nervous, so nervous…" Sakura looked at the figure sitting upright in front and said in a low voice, "It seems I'm going to be in the same class as Sasuke-kun!"
Naruto fidgeted with his legs. "Hey… did you get any news? Who on earth will be our supervising Jonin! It won't be Big Brother Itachi, will it?"
"What nonsense are you thinking!"
Sasuke shot him a glare and shook his head. "My brother is in the Hokage's Tower every day lately. He's probably about to become the Fifth. How could he have time to be our supervising Jonin!"
"Then who is it!"
Naruto tapped his fingers. "Let me think, I don't know many Jonin… It won't be Kakashi, will it?"
"You guessed it!"
A masked person suddenly appeared in front of Naruto. Kakashi Hatake was hanging upside down from the rafters, and he said with a smile, "Naruto, long time no see…"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Kakashi, don't just suddenly appear and scare people!" Naruto was so flustered he almost fell to the ground. After calming down, he continued, "Why were you assigned to be our supervising Jonin? You seem like a lot of trouble!"
"Do you think it's that easy to become my subordinate?"
Kakashi's eyes turned serious. The killing intent of an ANBU Captain of many years erupted from him, scaring the three little ones present into not daring to move. Only then did he continue, "I will set up a small test. Only if you pass can you graduate…"
"If you can't pass and can't graduate…"
Kakashi pointed a finger at each of them, his finger landing on Sasuke. "I won't be responsible for a student's domestic affairs, you know!"
Sasuke Uchiha: "…"
