Chapter 92: Becoming a GeninIt must be said that Neji was a very intelligent person; after leaving Naruto, he did not go directly to find Tsunade, but instead bought some fine wine and food.Although when Tsunade saw it, she said, "Are you trying to test a cadre with this?" her body was still very honest when faced with such temptation.She immediately asked Neji to have a drink with her and stated, "Don't misunderstand; I didn't agree to take you to learn Sage Jutsu because you brought these things. I simply appreciate your character and talent very much."Just like that, under Tsunade's introduction, Nejialso headed to Shikkotsu Forest to learn Sage Jutsu, although this time, Sage Katsuyu would not bring out the Immortal Pool for his training.How much he could achieve would depend on his own efforts, and for some reason, Tsunade did not take Robin and Shizune along.Just like that, Naruto's life became peaceful. Every day, apart from attending classes, he would train with his friends. Although it was a bit boring, he enjoyed it.Because of Yamato's help, the policies promoted by Kakuzu in Huayin Village attracted many people, and there was no shortage of Ninja among them.However, adhering to the principle of "better to have nothing than to have something inferior," every incoming Ninja had to be first screened by the Uchiha Clan, and only after passing were they allowed to join.The method of inspection was very simple: use the Sharingan to plunge them into an illusion to check their past. If they were wicked or villainous people, those with minor offenses would be detained first, waiting for Naruto to use Kotoamatsukami on them before restoring their freedom.For those with more serious crimes, they were secretly killed. Those wanted by the Land of Firewere sent directly to claim the bounty, while those from other Villages were taken by Kakuzu to be exchanged for money.In this way, Huayin Village actually completed several A-rank missions for the Land of Fire, but the Daimyo of the Land of Fire never agreed to their submitted application, stating that they would only agree after an S-rank mission was completed.Yamato felt unprecedented enthusiasm and respect in Huayin Village. Although he enjoyed this feeling, his body was unable to keep up.For such a long time, it could be said that Yamatohad been in a weakened state; there wasn't a single day when his Chakra was in an abundant state. When Naruto saw him for the second time, he was greatly startled.Yamato had lost two sizes; he looked like a drug addict and was completely unrecognizable. If Naruto hadn't been very familiar with his Chakra, he might not have been able to recognize him.Finally, Naruto showed some mercy. Because there were more people in the Village now and the initial construction was almost complete, he decided to let Yamato return to Konoha Village to rest for a period of time.Perhaps because of Naruto's appearance, the friends of his generation were all very strong. In the original timeline, they only graduated from the Ninja Academy around the age of twelve, but this time, when they were ten years old, the Konoha 12 all became Genin together.This was also thanks to the new rules Tsunadeformulated for the Ninja Academy. She abolished the rule imposed by the Third Hokage that required students to study in school for six years before they could apply for graduation, replacing it with the rule that as long as they felt their strength was sufficient, they could apply to graduate at any time and take the test to become a Genin.This naturally caused strong opposition from the four Konoha high-ranking officials. They stated that since it was now a time of peace, there was no need for children to be exposed to Ninja missions so early.After all, no matter what kind of mission it was, there was a possibility of danger, which would increase the mortality rate of the children. For the Village, this was definitely not a long-term plan.In fact, the four of them were right this time, but could a Ninja who hadn't seen blood still be called a Ninja? The helpers Naruto wanted were not flowers in a greenhouse; he wanted true powerhouses.Over these years, although Tsunade had secured her position as Hokage, she was still at a disadvantage when facing these four people. Generally, she would make appropriate concessions, but this time, she did not.In the end, her assertiveness and persistence worked. Seeing that Tsunade had no intention of backing down, the four of them felt they couldn't push her too hard, so they reluctantly agreed.Regarding Neji, who had been learning Sage Jutsu for several years, no one expected that his learning of Sage Jutsu in Shikkotsu Forest would go so smoothly.Without a "cheat code," he relied on his own efforts and actually step-by-step brought his Sage Jutsu to the verge of great accomplishment. In fact, this was easy to understand.First of all, Neji was originally a genius rarely seen in the Hyuga Clan for a hundred years; this could be seen from his self-taught Rotation. Moreover, Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Jutsu valued the practitioner's state of mind the most.Originally, Neji's inner demon was the Caged Birdseal branded on the foreheads of the branch family, but because of Naruto and Tsunade, this had been lifted. He and his father had also gained their freedom and started their new lives.Now, apart from wanting to constantly improve his strength, Neji had no other thoughts. Therefore, it was imaginable that he could successfully practice the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Jutsu.After becoming Genin, they had to be assigned to teams. Normally, it was a group of two boys and one girl, led by a Jonin as captain, to lead the three Genin to execute some missions.However, among this batch of graduates, there were two extra people, Robin and Tong Yu, which made the traditional team assignment a bit difficult to carry out.In the end, there was no other way. To make up the three people, Tsunade had no choice but to let the slightly overage Shizune enter the ranks of Geninand have Yamato, who was recuperating, serve as the captain of the new team.The team assignment situation also had some minor changes. Sakura could not join Team 7 as she had wished; Robin replaced her. Sakura formed a new team with Shizune and Tong Yu, and they were also the weakest among the five teams.Because Team 7 had both Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, it was recognized as the strongest. Among the other teams, only the Third Team led by Might Guy could slightly contend with them.The first day of meeting the captain was very calm. Because they were already very familiar with Kakashi, the three of them had nothing to look forward to. Kakashi was also becoming more and more like his superior, Tsunade, always liking to be late.However, the three of them were not in a hurry and just waited quietly in the classroom.
