NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: ch7
When Jiraiya returned home, he looked at the document in his hand and felt dizzy.
A Nine Tails Jinchūriki, and two super geniuses of Konoha.
In case something goes wrong...
Ugh.
Sarutobi-sensei seems to be really trying to squeeze me dry.
His eyes flicked over the photos of the three of them.
This is the document provided by Anbu, which has detailed records of all their information from childhood to adulthood.
Each one is deeply rooted and highly talented.
The Nine Tails Jinchūriki certainly goes without saying.
This is the strategic weapon of every ninja village. Utilizing it well is a great power, but if it is not utilized well, it may turn into a huge disaster.
Therefore, this weapon must not be taken away by the enemy.
Originally, Jiraiya thought that Christina should be under house arrest and protected by Konoha. He didn't expect the Third Hokage to have such boldness this time. He did not hesitate to let Jinchūriki go to the battlefield to practice.
Eventually, he set his sights on a strange boy named Sam.
Anbu's evaluation of him is: he has no fighting spirit, is extremely laid-back, and has a sharp tongue. He only goes to and from the school and the orphanage every day. Except for the tasks assigned by the teacher, he will never practice even a second, and he goes home on time after school!
If it weren't for the sudden display of terrifying strength in this assessment, no one would have noticed him at all.
And he also likes to wear yellow sunglasses and a coat with the word "justice."
He was such an unremarkable, even a little annoying guy.
Unexpectedly, he won the first place in this assessment in a crushing manner. And he is also the number one hand-picked by the Third Hokage!
The Third Hokage also asked Jiraiya to pay attention to Sam's special physical skills. If he wants, he can include it in Konoha's scroll.
Jiraiya smelled something unusual from this information. How does a guy who seems to be mediocre in talent, doesn't work too hard, and has no sense of presence suddenly master such a powerful force?
Does this guy really have any unique talent in physical arts?
The next day, in the classroom of the ninja school, Sam's teacher, William Wood, had a serious face.
He is a very serious teacher. Was a Special Jōnin in his youth.
It's a pity that he was injured in a mission and lost an arm, so he retreated to the second line to cultivate talents for Konoha and shine in another place.
Because of this, he is very demanding on the students. He is also extremely serious.
Even at this moment of separation, there was no smile on his face.
There are also many students in the school complaining about William's strictness. But the more mature Sam knows that it is precisely because William understands the cruelty of the battlefield that he maintains such a strict style.
What he does is make the students remember the mistakes they made. The most mistakes you make now are just being reprimanded, but if you make mistakes on the battlefield, you may lose your life!
"From today onwards, you are all ninjas," William's voice was like a sharp blade.
He raised his head and put down the document in his hand.
"This is the class schedule, and there are your instructors listed on it. After the end, just contact their instructors according to the above method."
After explaining the matter clearly, William walked out of the classroom without looking back. Just before leaving, Sam's sleepy eyes seemed to see his mouth move a few times.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be: "Guys, don't die so easily."
Graduated students will be divided into groups of three. A Jōnin from Konoha will lead the team to carry out the mission, trying to ensure their safety during the rookie period.
Therefore, the leading teacher of the Genins can be said to directly determine their survival rate. Of course, teammates are also a very important factor.
As soon as William left, other students rushed to the podium to check their group status. Only Sam stayed where he was, yawning.
In fact, there are quite a lot of strong players among Sam's peers this year. The well-known previous generation Ino–Shika–Chō, including Choza Akimichi, Haichi Yamanaka, and Shikajiu Nara, are all Sam's classmates.
In addition, there are Hizashi Hyuga of the Hyuga clan, the younger brother of the future patriarch of Uchiha, Might Dai, and so on.
Unfortunately, their light at this time is firmly overshadowed by Sam.
Especially Might Dai, this guy has been stalking Sam since he showed off his terrifying physical skills yesterday.
"Student Sam, I wish I could be in a group with you; we can burn our youth together!" Might Dai was wearing a green bodysuit and said loudly beside Sam.
Sam put his face in one hand and said seriously, "I can teach you [Finger Pistol] if you shut up."
"Really, Mr. Sam!" Might wore a shocked expression.
Sam glanced at him and said helplessly, "Really."
"Thank you, Mr. Sam!"
