Chapter 5 Early Graduation News

Three days after visiting Hatake Sakumo, it was time for the Ninja School to start.

Speaking of which, Uchiha Toba, as a former classmate of Hatake Kakashi, was actually in the same class as Uchiha Obito, Nohara Rin, Asuma and others. However, the only three people who were in the same class with him were Obito, Rin, and Kai.

It's just that this guy is five or six years older than his classmates and doesn't want to be a ninja. He is totally out of place in the entire class and doesn't have many real friends.

When he arrived at the gate of the Ninja School today, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Fei Yu, you're here? By the way, have you heard the news?"

Uchiha Obito came over mysteriously and spoke to Uchiha Feiyu.

They are both Uchiha and both are outliers among the Uchiha. This makes the relationship between Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Toba much better than that of other classmates. They are also rare acquaintances of Uchiha Toba.

Uchiha Feiyu showed a bit of doubt on his face. Being an outlier did not come without a price. At least for the various rumors circulating in the class, Uchiha Feiyu was often the last to know.

Look, even the foolish Obito seems to have heard some inside information, and only Uchiha Toba knows nothing.

"what news?"

Uchiha Feiyu asked as he was thinking. Obito quickly came over and said:
"We are about to graduate early! It is said that this year's fourth, fifth, and sixth grade ninjas can graduate directly!"

"Graduate early!?"

“Has the situation come to this point now?”

Uchiha Feiyu said in surprise and frowned.

Of course, he was not worried about graduation. What really made Uchiha Feiyu think was the problems behind graduating early.

Generally speaking, unless they are geniuses who want to make a splash and get more resources and attention, ordinary students in ninja schools will study for six years before graduating.

After all, the profession of ninja is always accompanied by various dangers. If you develop for a longer period of time in school, you will naturally have more chances of saving your life when performing tasks.

The talents of Konoha's 12 young warriors are no less than those of Kakashi and his generation, but none of them graduated early, which is very telling.

And once a large number of people graduate early, there is only one possibility: the Ninja World War is about to begin!

Of course, even if they graduate early, it is impossible to send the newly graduated students directly to the battlefield. To put it bluntly, even if they are trained to be cannon fodder, they still have to pay attention to cost-effectiveness. They can't be trained in the ninja school for several years only to waste a few kunai on the enemy on the battlefield!

But by graduating early, these students can have a longer period of internship, so that if the situation on the front line becomes tense in the future, they can bring in a group of fresh troops to go directly into the battlefield.

"Uh, what has the situation come to this? Feiyu, what did you say? Why don't I understand?"

Uchiha Obito blinked. Although he received the gossip earlier than Feiyu, it was obviously a little difficult to expect Kenji to be able to see the problems behind early graduation.

However, the ninjas in the Naruto world have always been precocious, and with the experience passed on by ninjas like their parents, other young ninjas basically know the current situation well. This is also the reason why Uchiha Feiyu felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

"You are really a bit slow... Have you ever thought about why we have to graduate early? The last wave of ninjas who graduated early was just before World War II!"

"Ah!? Then... why do we have to graduate early this time too?" Obito looked so stunned that Feiyu couldn't help but hold his forehead. This guy can become the big boss of the ninja world in the future, which really makes people worry about the intelligence of the ninjas in the Naruto world.

"What Feiyu meant was that there is a high possibility that a large-scale war will break out again in the ninja world!"

A gentle-looking little girl with oil paint on her face came over and interrupted their conversation.

"So that's how it is! Lin, you're so smart!"

The one who spoke was Nohara Rin, the white moonlight in Uchiha Obito's heart and also the source of his evil transformation.

Of course, Obito and Rin are only about eight years old now. Although ninjas are precocious, they are not to this extent. However, because of her gentle temperament and her equal concern for everyone, Obito, who doesn't have many friends in his class now, also regards Rin as very important.

To some extent, the reason why Obito likes Rin is that other girls would simply ignore him, but Rin, with her gentle personality, is kind to everyone.

Obito said something to Nohara Rin with a silly smile, and suddenly seemed to come back to his senses and shouted loudly:
"What? A large-scale war breaks out!"

"What's wrong? Are you scared, two of the Uchiha's laggards?"

A triumphant voice sounded in his ears, Uchiha Feiyu looked up and saw that the person who spoke was Sarutobi Asuma from the next class.

"Asuma, you have nothing better to do than to come here and get a fight? It's fine that Obito is the last one in the group, but why did you take me with you too!"

"Yes, it's okay to say that Obito is the last one... What do you mean it's okay that I am the last one?"

Obito nodded, and suddenly realized something was wrong. He turned his head and looked at Feiyu in surprise, only to see Feiyu's disgusted expression.

Asuma, a strong contender for the top student position in this class, is also known as a genius in the current ninja school.

Of course, the so-called genius is actually of low quality. Among the peers of the first and second classes of the school, the ones who achieved the highest achievements in the future were actually Kakashi, Obito and Might Guy.

Kakashi graduated a long time ago, Obito and Might Guy are still at the bottom of the list, and the only ones who can become jonin in the future and have good talents are only Kurenai and Asuma.

Hong's strength is lacking to begin with. Illusion-type ninjas are those who develop their strength in the late stage, and his personality does not like to be in the limelight. Therefore, Asuma now feels a bit like a monkey king in the absence of a tiger in the mountain.

They say they are the chiefs and geniuses, but every year there are several geniuses in the ninja school, and they start competing fiercely since childhood to fight for the position of the chief. But where do these geniuses, these chiefs, go after graduation?
Some of them went to the cemetery, and many more just became part of the crowd.

In Uchiha Feiyu's eyes, Asuma's future achievements, although not mediocre, are definitely not outstanding. He is almost the most elite among the Jonin, but there is still a huge gap between him and the Kage.

"Damn it, if you weren't five years older than me, how could you possibly beat me?!"

After hearing what Uchiha Feiyu said, Asuma's defense broke down on the spot, because he had actually been beaten by Uchiha Feiyu.

Uchiha Feiyu was only bad in his attitude, but he was very serious in his training and never slacked off.

Even though he didn't have any great inheritance, relying on the improvements in physical fitness and chakra brought by the spirit-controlling technique, he was able to beat up all the young kids in the fighting class except Kakashi.
