Naruto Talent System - Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Small Circle
Although the assessment this time was conducted together with the age assessment and the graduation assessment, the difficulty did not seem to increase, but was unexpectedly relaxed.
Because the students who took the stage after Uchiha Zeno, including Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune, all got the forehead protector, which also means that they all passed the graduation examination.
For such a situation, Uchiha Zeno is actually not surprised.
It is an abnormal thing to carry out early graduation assessment on a large scale.
Just like his answer to Shizune back then, the assessment this time might be very simple.
The reason he would answer this way is because he knows that the third Ninja World War will break out soon.
Only under the pressure of the war, the village will let the students in the ninja school graduate in large numbers in order to expand its military strength.
“Hopefully it doesn’t explode too early…” Uchiha Zeno thought silently.
War is definitely a meat grinder. Even after a year of development, he still has little confidence in surviving the war.
With his current talent, his strength can be said to be improving every day. The later the war broke out, the better it would be for him.
At the end of the announcement of the results, everyone in the class, including Uchiha Obito, who is usually called the tail of the crane, all graduated successfully and obtained the Forehead Protector.
After distributing the forehead protector, Mr. Ninja also left after explaining something.
“It’s finally over, I’m a Genin from now on!”
“The team will be assigned in three days. These three days are rare holidays. I must have a good time.”
“Zeno, it’s still early. I know there’s a new snack bar that’s very good. Let’s go and try it.”
“Alright, just a little hungry.”
“Snack, add me!”
After school, most of the students in the classroom left happily in twos and threes.
But when Shizune smiled and invited Uchiha Zeno to the snack bar, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, and they immediately came over.
Even within the same class, there are various small circles.
The people who come here now are basically people who are familiar with Uchiha Zeno and Shizune, such as Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, Asuma, Rin Nohara, and Uchiha Obito.
Not to mention Shizune, she has always been very popular in the class, and basically gets along well with everyone, even Kurenai Yuhi, when Uchiha Zeno is not involved, the relationship between the two girls is very harmonious.
As for Uchiha Zeno, he also gets along well with other people for the purpose of weaving contacts, especially the plot characters like Might Guy, who will get in touch more.
Although Uchiha Zeno pays attention to practice, he is not so extreme that he becomes a practice machine, and he doesn’t mind proper relaxation.
So the end result is that a group of people went to the snack bar that Shizune said.
This snack bar is located on a street in the golden area of Konoha. Because it just opened, there are discounts to attract business, so the business is very hot.
Because it was too crowded, when Uchiha Zeno and others came, they chose to use finger-guessing to decide which people to line up to buy.
“Ah, why did I produce scissors!” This is Obito’s mournful cry.
“Youth is about queuing, I’m going!” This is the passionate shout from Might Guy.
“Why am I so unlucky, I have already lost the chance to be alone with Zeno, and now I have to wait in line!” Shizune looked like a defeated dog, with a dejected expression on his face.
It was the above three who lost the boxing game. After taking the money given by others and the list of snacks to buy, they entered the overcrowded snack bar.
As for Uchiha Zeno and others, they naturally waited comfortably outside the snack bar, and even the little girls Kurenai Yuhi and Nohara Rin went to a nearby store to buy drinks.
“Asuma, how do you see that you are not in a good mood, did something happen to you?”
While waiting, Uchiha Zeno looked at the silent Sarutobi Asuma, and said to him with a smile.
Sarutobi Asuma looked at Uchiha Zeno, because Uchiha Zeno created a good character this year, so he just hesitated for a moment, and then expressed his depression.
“Zeno, are you saying that my hard work is worthless? No matter how hard I try, people always think that I am Hokage’s son, and the results of my hard work are taken for granted.”
Hearing this, Uchiha Zeno seemed to be pondering, and then said slowly after a while: “You are too sensitive, or you don’t need to care about these at all, just like me, no, many people think that I am from the Uchiha clan. It’s normal to perform well.
But only I know that the reason why I have the current strength is entirely due to my own strict cultivation.
People live for themselves, not for others. It is a good thing to want to be recognized by others, but you cannot deny yourself in order to obtain recognition.”
“I can’t deny myself…” Sarutobi Asuma froze, whispering Uchiha Zeno’s last words.
The depression in his heart seemed to be wiped away, and gradually became clear again.
With a bright light in his eyes, Asuma soon showed a smile on his face, and said a little excitedly: “Yes, Zeno, you are right, I really shouldn’t deny myself in order to gain other people’s approval, no matter what others think, I I just need to live myself well, thank you, if it weren’t for you, I still can’t figure this out.”
Uchiha Zeno said with a smile: “It’s good if you can figure it out, but it’s too polite to say thank you to me. You should know that we are not only classmates, but also good friends. Friends should help each other.”
“No, we should be good brothers!”
After the stagnation was resolved, Sarutobi Asuma became more cheerful than before. He stepped forward and put his arms around Uchiha Zeno’s shoulders, saying happily.
“That’s right, we are good brothers!”
Uchiha Zeno didn’t resist either, and even hugged the opponent with his backhand, smiling heartily like a brother and sister.
