CH 127

After talking with Shisui about the double agent that day, the two stopped talking about such serious topics whenever they met.

The following days were also very uneventful. Although Shisui ‘accidentally’ met Danzō several times, he stopped mentioning it to Kanpū so as not to worry him.

In a blink of an eye, the Academy’s winter vacation is here!

On the last day at the end of February, at 3:30 in the afternoon, the sixth-year students rushed out of the teaching building while barking like wild dogs. The training ground was full of loud noises.

But as the time passed, the huge Academy gradually fell silent.

In the empty classroom of Class 8 of the second year, only Yu, Kanpū and Yui are left.

“Follow me.” Yu turned around and walked out of the classroom, and then said, “For the next exam, you must do your best!”

“Yes!”

Kanpū responded, and Yui was still so cool that she didn’t speak.

Following Yu to the training ground center, Kanpū saw that other students who had applied for early graduation also gathered under the leadership of their respective teachers.

He saw Shisui, Ueki, and several senior students. When they gathered, Kanpū counted, and saw that including him and Yui, there are ten people!

It seems that at the last period of time, a few more students applied for early graduation.

When Kanpū observes the others, others are naturally also observing him.

When a few seniors saw Kanpū and Yui, these little-known kids, they smiled contemptuously, and their confidence almost leaked out of their body.

“It seems that everyone is here.”

The vice-principal of the Academy, Kodaira Katsura looked around according to the photo on the form in his hand. After confirming that everyone is here, he solemnly said, “Then, I will announce the specific content of this graduation exam first!”

The first test is to use the three basic techniques!

The second test is Ninja Tools’ throwing!

The third test is actual combat!

And those who are in charge of supervising are all the teachers present and Katsura.

“Then I announce that the first test of the graduation exam, the three basic techniques’ assessment officially starts!” Katsura said solemnly, “The senior students will come first!”

A fifth-year student immediately strode out.

“I’ll come first!”

After saying that, this student formed hand seals with both hands, “Henge no Jutsu!” (Transformation Technique)

“Bunshin no Jutsu!” (Clone Technique)

“Kawarimi no Jutsu!” (Body Replacement Technique)

In less than ten seconds, this fifth-year student used the three basic techniques.

“Pass! Next!” Katsura said while recording his grades on the form.

While the assessment was carried out here, on the roof of the teaching building of the Academy’s teaching building, Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura are watching silently.

“Hiruzen, are you sure you want Uchiha Shisui and Gekkō Kanpū to graduate?”

Homura pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked softly.

Hiruzen said without looking back: “Why not?”

“Aren’t they important suspects in the extermination of the village?”

As one of the advisors, Homura naturally knew about this.

Hiruzen said in a low voice: “After Anbu thoroughly investigated the village, they did only find the traces of Shisui and Kanpū activities as Shinobi at the scene…”

“Since that is the case, you shouldn’t let them graduate now.” Homura said.

“If the two of them are really that dangerous, shouldn’t they leave the Academy more?”

A light flashed in Hiruzen’s eyes, “Besides, I suspect that someone secretly erased the clues and disrupted the Anbu’s investigation!”

“The only ones who can do this step except the Anbu is…”

Homura frowned and said, “Hiruzen, are you suspecting Danzō?”

“Hehehe, Homura, you are thinking too much, how could I doubt Danzō.”

Hiruzen’s eyes flashed brightly.

“Haah.”

Homura sighed and changed the subject, “Then, how do you plan to arrange Uchiha Shisui and Gekkō Kanpū?”

Hiruzen chuckled and said, “I plan to put them in the same team.”

“What?”

Homura looked at Hiruzen’s back in disbelief, “Why would you…”

“Don’t you all suspect that they did the extermination incident?” Hiruzen interrupted Homura with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile, “Then, by arranging them in the same team, it would make it easier to monitor both them, right?”

Homura pondered for a while and said: “Then their Jōnin Instructor is very important. Who do you arrange to be their Jōnin Instructor?”

Hiruzen’s eyes slowly fell on the small tree that was gradually glowing with green leaves at the entrance of the Academy, and said: “Aburame Shikuro!”



“Achoo~”

On the training grounds, Kanpū had just finished throwing ten consecutive shots of the Ninja Tools when he couldn’t help but sneezed out.

‘Who is talking behind my back?’

Kanpū wiped his nose and glanced at the target ten meters away. Fortunately, this sneeze did not affect his performance.

“Gekkō Kanpū, pass!” Katsura wrote down the results and said, “Then next is the last assessment, actual combat!”

Because of the content of the exam is simple, and there are only ten exam candidates, so in less than ten minutes, they have entered the third test, which is the last assessment!

“Sensei!”

Kanpū hurriedly raised his hand and asked, “In actual combat, can we freely choose our opponent?”

He has been thinking about Ueki for so many days now, ‘As long as he is suppressed so that he cannot graduate, then…’

‘Wait!’

Kanpū suddenly felt a chill in his heart, ‘Now that Shisui seems to be targeted by that old thief Danzō, isn’t it a little risky to be on the same team as him?’

‘Why don’t I let Ueki go?’

“In actual combat, you can freely choose your opponent!” Katsura did not know what Kanpū was thinking, and replied, “The lower year can challenge the upper year, and the upper year can also choose the lower year as their opponent!”

Since it is a graduation exam, it is natural to treat any candidate fairly and impartially, regardless of whether they are in the first year or sixth year.

“I choose him!”

As soon as Katsura’s voice fell, the fifth-year student who was the first to complete the three basic techniques assessment jumped out again, pointing his finger at… Kanpū.

Kanpū didn’t know whether to cry or laugh when he saw this, ‘Well, it seems I don’t need to worry about it anymore.’

Katsura waved his hand to signal everyone to back away a little, and said: “Then, the actual combat assessment, start now!”

As soon as the words fell, the fifth-year student took out a handful a kunai and rushed towards Kanpū directly.

Kanpū has dynamic vision in his eyes, so he immediately captured his movement trajectory. He also took out the kunai with his backhand, directly slashed it horizontally, and hits the front.

Ding ding!

In the crisp sound of metal collision, Kanpū and the fifth-year student have already fought back and forth twice.

“To be able to have such strength in the second year, I admit your strength. Tell me your name!” The fifth-year senior’s tone is full of pride, and his kunai points directly at Kanpū, and his aura is very fierce.

“Gekkō Kanpū.”

Kanpū replied, and then formed a hand seal with his hands: Shunshin no Jutsu. (Body Flicker Technique)

Whoosh!

In an instant, Kanpū turned into a gust of wind and disappeared, rushing to the fifth-year student at a teleport-like speed.

The fifth-year student’s expression changed greatly, and without even thinking about it, he formed hand seals directly with hands: Body Replacement Technique!

Boom!

Kanpū’s kunai slid across the opponent’s arm, but along with a puff of smoke, the fifth-year student had turned into a stone and fell feebly from the air.

And the fifth-year student had already appeared five meters away with a look of horror on his face: “That’s…how is it possible?! You are obviously only in the second year!!”

Kanpū that has turned into a gust of wind doesn’t care about what he said. He once again used Body Flicker Technique to rush to the fifth-year student five meters away.

“I admit defeat!”

The fifth-year student shouted.

Although he used Body Replacement Technique to dodge it just now, Body Replacement Technique needs him to prepare the props in advance, and the fifth-year student has only prepared a stone!!

Although he was unwilling, facing Kanpū who had already mastered Body Flicker Technique, the fifth-year student had no choice but to grit his teeth and admit defeat.

At the same time, the students and teachers watching the battle, including Yu, and Taichi, all looked at Kanpū in disbelief.

‘In the second year, he has mastered Body Flicker Technique, is this Gekkō Kanpū also a genius?’

Yu was especially even more surprised. As Kanpū’s head teacher, Yu has basically given up on Kanpū since the first year, but in second year, Kanpū’s talent and strength have grown wildly, which is simply incomprehensible!

Unfortunately, Kanpū will graduate after today, and even if he wants to get to the bottom of it, he can’t do it.

Katsura suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said solemnly: “Gekkō Kanpū, actual combat… excellent!”
