Chapter 8: An outstanding woman must have sufficient backup options

As the words fell, a cold-faced boy quickly stepped forward, standing in front of the throwing line. After receiving a signal from Teacher Aita, he consecutively threw ten shurikens, all hitting the bullseye.

Next, Takeuchi Ayumi!

How could you, Uchiha Obito, bring about your own destruction! Asuma's face flushed red as he lunged at Obito, and the two began to grapple with each other. He had shouted in front of all the teachers, students, and parents at the school that he wanted to marry a man, becoming the laughingstock of the entire village during their leisure time. Even now, his father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, still looked at him with disdain; the Hokage could not afford to lose face like this

At the negotiation table, the delegation from the Land of Fire achieved victory after victory, securing countless reparations and territories, while the Sand Village was compelled to sign a series of unequal treaties with Konoha. Just as the higher-ups in Konoha were rejoicing over this great victory, a shocking piece of news arrived that stunned the entire village.

Kai, watching from the side, was filled with excitement and let out a roar, charging into the battle circle as well

This is the small circle of Duke at the Ninja School, consisting of the boastful idiot Obito, the inexplicably fiery Guy, and Asuma, who became well-known among the entire faculty and student body during the opening ceremony. The reason for being grouped with these three clowns is purely for the sake of peace, as once the three of them gather, they will unleash their secret technique—Clearing Aura, causing the other students in the class to keep their distance.

In order to save his comrades, Hatake Sakumo of Konoha abandoned the mission intelligence that was already in his grasp, resulting in immeasurable losses for Konoha, which was still at the negotiation table. The higher-ups were furious; nearly seven years of war had consumed immense resources and claimed countless ninja lives, yet due to Sakumo's compassion, everything was ruined in an instant. For a time, the entire Konoha condemned him, forgetting his countless sacrifices of shedding blood and risking his life, disregarding his glory. He became a sinner in the eyes of Konoha, despised by all. The once-hero was denounced as a worthless individual who did not adhere to the ninja code. Unable to endure the torment, Hatake Sakumo chose to take his own life, leaving behind his five-year-old son—Hatake Kakashi.

In conclusion, this great war did not have a true winner; it was caused by the imbalanced economic development among nations. The result of the war, however, is that the strong nations have become stronger, while the weak nations have become weaker, and the root causes of the war remain unresolved. Once the nations have recuperated, an even more devastating war is bound to erupt, and it will not be too far off.

Indeed, there is a significant difference! During the drill, you were thoroughly taught a lesson!" Sarutobi Asuma scoffed, daring to act tough in front of me, just wait until I slap your face.

Next, Asuma Sarutobi!

The monkey steals the peach, Asma indeed has deeply inherited the true essence of the physical techniques of the Uchiha clan. Obito's technique, the Sage's Guidance, is quite impressive! Oh, but Guy's 'Severing the Lineage' technique is even more remarkable; he truly is a master of physical arts! Duke did not stop the three exuberant huskies, but instead began to instruct the three, while subtly fanning the flames. The surrounding classmates looked on from a distance, their faces filled with disdain, which was precisely the effect Duke wanted. After all, his face is too expressive; without this, he would hardly be able to avoid the harassment from the girls.

This generation of the Ninja School has produced many talents. In addition to the already graduated Konoha Jonin Kakashi Hatake, future members of the Twelve Guardian Ninja such as Asuma Sarutobi, the genjutsu expert Kurenai Yuhi, the super taijutsu master Might Guy, and the BOSS Obito Uchiha, there is also Ibiki Morino, the head of the Konoha Anbu Torture Department. The not-yet-scarred young boy is usually not very talkative, but he is quite polite, showing no signs of developing sadistic tendencies. By the way, there is another graduate worth mentioning, the future disciple, assistant, secretary, and life aide of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, Shizune Katō. Her uncle is the elite Jonin Kato, who is not an eagle, has clumsy fingers, and is a handsome, strong, and charming winner in life. Unfortunately, he raised a flag before the war, but his fate was not strong enough, and he ended up dying.

Upon hearing this news, Duke sighed repeatedly, fearing that the higher-ups in Konoha did not anticipate that their oppression would lead to White Fang's suicide! It is a pity for Kakashi, who bears too much, as it will be detrimental to his future growth

As for the Land of Fire, the Hidden Leaf Village returned triumphantly, having defeated the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind, securing a substantial amount of reparations and territory, and even managing to carve out a share at the negotiation table with the Land of Earth. While this may seem favorable, the reality is quite the opposite. Firstly, the Hidden Leaf lost Tsunade Senju, a powerful new Sannin with exceptional medical ninjutsu, who, due to the deaths of her brother and boyfriend, developed a phobia of blood. It is unlikely that she will continue her ninja career. Furthermore, driven by her resentment towards the higher-ups, she resolutely left the village, causing the medical system of the Hidden Leaf, which had just begun to show promise, to collapse. The Senju clan also bid farewell to the stage of history, while the ambitious Uchiha clan became the largest clan in the Hidden Leaf. The strength displayed by the Hidden Leaf also left other ninja villages restless, viewing it as a formidable enemy, thus laying the groundwork for the siege that would occur in the Third Great Ninja War.

The assessment will now begin. I will call out names in order, one by one. The first is Senna Ibiki!

"Hmm, not bad!" Teacher Xiang Tian nodded in satisfaction and said: "Sen Nai Yi Bi Xi, hit 10 targets, accuracy 100%, time taken 3 seconds, assessment result is excellent, rated B+.

Looking at the victorious nations again, the Kingdom of Thunder mobilized its troops to invade the Kingdom of Earth, ready to engage in a grand battle. However, the Kingdom of Earth decided to withdraw. They indeed won the war, but the front lines were overwhelmed with too many supplies, all of which cost money, and now it has all gone to waste. Whether the Kingdom of Earth can be made to pay the bill will depend on the skill at the negotiation table

Victorious nations of the Second Shinobi World War: Land of Fire, Land of Lightning; Defeated nations: Land of Wind, Land of Earth, Land of Rain

As for the BOSS, Duke did not wish to engage with him, but this fellow was simply too familiar, like a piece of chewing gum, once stuck, it could not be easily removed. Over time, Duke also became accustomed to his presence

Ueshima Hekiryu hit 6 targets, achieving a hit rate of 60%, with a time of 3 seconds, resulting in an assessment score of average, rated as C level

The ninja school operates on a six-year system during peacetime, while during wartime, it follows a three-year system. Although the war in Konoha ended in the 38th year, the higher-ups in Konoha have still decided to implement the wartime three-year system to compensate for the severe shortage of personnel caused by the war. This means that the youngest students in this cohort, at the age of 7, will have to face the genin assessment.

In addition to these elites, there are also a few actors who had minor roles in the original work, such as Feizhu Qingting and Shuimu. These individuals generally had average academic performance, with their maximum potential being that of elite Chunin. Here, it is worth mentioning Shuimu, as Duke's 'self-indulgence' made the initially handsome young boy quite popular, garnering a lot of hatred for Duke.

In the 38th year of Konoha, the Second Shinobi World War was drawing to a close, and the tense situation at the borders was gradually easing. In fact, large-scale hostilities had already ceased in the 37th year of Konoha, with only occasional minor skirmishes continuing. The outcome of the war had long been clear, and the defeated had no possibility of a comeback. The reason for the delay until now was merely that each faction was vying for an advantageous position at the negotiation table to secure more leverage. War is a means, not an end; it is an extension of politics, and politics has always been about compromise.

The Wind Country, having been defeated by the Rain Country on the battlefield, subsequently faced an invasion by the Leaf Village, resulting in significant losses and ultimately leading to their surrender, which can be described as a case of losing more than they gained. The Earth Country fared better, as the defeat of the Wind Country altered the course of the war, preventing them from profiting from the conflict, thus they surrendered rather straightforwardly. In fact, their losses were not substantial, and their potential for warfare remained strong.

At the ninja school training ground, a large group of students stood in a line in front of the wooden stumps. After Teacher Aida reiterated the prohibitions, he began to take attendance

Be quiet, class is about to begin.

Duke, did you know? Kakashi actually passed the Chunin exam, I didn't expect that guy to be so impressive... Uchiha Obito came over, unwilling to concede, and said: "Clearly inferior to me by so much, yet he dares to graduate before me."

"As expected of Kakashi, my youth is ablaze!" A certain watermelon rind has arrived uninvited

The Land of Rain was defeated by the Land of Fire, the Land of Earth was defeated by the Land of Lightning, and as for the Land of Rain, it was purely a calamity from the heavens. This unfortunate child was chosen by several great nations to become a battlefield. Despite its efforts to resist, the disparity in strength was too great, and the entire nation was reduced to scorched earth by the three great nations. The leader of the Rain Ninja Village, known as the demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, after defeating Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya, conferred upon the three the title of 'Legendary Three Ninjas,' making them famous in the ninja world. From the perspective of a ninja, Hanzo is undoubtedly a top-tier powerhouse, but from the perspective of a nation, he is merely a tragic failure. Hanzo defeated Orochimaru and the others but did not dare to kill them, even bestowing upon them the honorable title of 'Three Ninjas,' all in the hope of preserving the Rain Ninja Village. He is a competent leader; he demonstrates his strength and chooses to compromise at the right moments. Because of him, the Rain Ninja Village was able to survive

The four students were engaged in a playful scuffle until the end of the break. The middle-aged teacher, Aida, with a common face, first glared fiercely at the four problematic students, then waved his hand and announced that there would be a practical assessment today, with the project being the throwing of shurikens

In his childhood, Kakashi witnessed his father's death filled with resentment, which led him to become cold and unfeeling. He firmly believed that as a ninja, one should not be bound by emotions, and that sometimes, the sacrifice of comrades is unavoidable in order to complete a mission. To prove himself and to wash away the humiliation associated with his father, Kakashi applied to graduate early at the age of five, becoming a genin and heading to the battlefield

Next, Neishanhe 2

Takeda Ayumi hit 7 targets, achieving a hit rate of 70%, with a time of 4 seconds, resulting in a performance rating of satisfactory, classified as C+.

This story tells us that women should have several backup options

... ...

"Asma, what nonsense are you talking about? Which of your eyes saw me being taught a lesson by Kakashi!" Obito, feeling humiliated, became furious and, with a sly grin, said: "Could it be that you made a mistake? After all, you can't even tell the difference between men and women!"

Konoha, having already lost Tsunade Senju, has once again lost a shadow-level powerhouse, and this time it is the even more formidable Konoha White Fang. His death has caused all ninjas to sigh in lamentation, prompting many to question whether, when faced with a mission, a ninja should abandon emotions and adhere to the rules, or choose their comrades instead

On the first day of class, the teacher asked the students to introduce themselves. When Duke announced his gender, there was a hush in the classroom, and even the supervising teacher was taken aback, her mouth agape. From that moment on, Duke realized that to get through these three years quietly, being low-key alone was not enough. Thus, the four-person group known as "Three Plus One" was formed.
