Chapter 20 Graduation Ceremony
"Sister Tsunade, please keep the matter of my learning of senjutsu a secret for me."
Kakashi, who returned to the dean's office, closed the door and asked seriously.
"Oh? You brat, are you still planning to hide your strength?" Tsunade, who sat back on the office chair, glanced at him in surprise, "You don't want to attract too much attention from the senior management."
"Hehe," Kakashi scratched his head after being exposed by Tsunade, "Tsunade-sister understands me."
"Huh, brat, you still want to hide your thoughts from me? Don't worry, I will help you keep it a secret. It is indeed not a good thing if some high-level officials pay attention to it."
Tsunade seemed to remember something, and there was a trace of disgust on her face.
"But Kakashi, you have to understand that although Senjutsu has many benefits, the source of its power is the combination of natural energy with human body and spiritual power. If you want to be truly powerful, you still need to improve your own foundation. Otherwise, even if you master the Sage Mode, the power you can use will still be limited."
"Don't worry, Sister Tsunade, I know."
"My own foundation is the cornerstone of everything. Without the foundation, all powerful ninjutsu, senjutsu, and taijutsu are just castles in the air. So I will not relax my practice just because of a temporary increase in strength." Kakashi replied seriously .
"Well, it's good if you have such awareness."
Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, the notice from the school asked you and Lin to go there tomorrow. Although your graduation exam has been specially exempted, you still have to attend the graduation ceremony. .”
After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that Kakashi could leave.
"Yes, Sister Tsunade!"
Kakashi exited the office and quietly closed the door.
Tsunade watched her disciple leave. She was very satisfied with his performance today.
Maybe one day he can reach the level of his grandfather.
After walking out of Konoha Hospital, Kakashi looked up and saw a blue sky with a few white clouds. The warm sunshine fell on his body, giving him a faint warmth.
Kakashi's eyes couldn't help but turn into crescent moons. He was in a good mood and strolled on the street, enjoying the lively scene.
As for the laboratory, he plans to use the shadow clone to do it in the future.
Anyway, shadow clones can transfer memories and experiences, and research does not require a lot of chakra, and shadow clones can last for a long time.
As for whether the secret will be exposed, let alone the shadow clones in this world, even Kaguya Otsutsuki cannot see through it.
Even if he was accidentally discovered by Orochimaru, he wouldn't care about it based on his tolerant attitude towards him.
However, he didn't dare mess around in the medical course. He couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Sister Tsunade's anger.
......
The next day, on the playground of the Ninja School, the wind blew gently and cherry blossoms were flying all over the sky. The graduation ceremony was over. Only a boy and a girl were left walking on the playground in the empty campus.
"I heard...it's 5cm/s."
The girl seemed to suddenly remember something and suddenly said this to the boy.
"Ok?"
"The speed at which cherry blossom petals fall is 5cm/s."
"Well...Lin knows a lot about this."
The boy was a little confused.
The two continued to walk silently, as if the conversation just now had never happened.
Lin was particularly interested today. She suddenly turned around, caught a petite heart-shaped cherry blossom petal with her tender palms, and then smiled sweetly at the boy: "Kakashi, don't you think... this looks like a snowflake? "
Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "It's true."
The aura that spread freely around him reminded Kakashi of the scene of drinking rice wine from a bowl in winter. The same warm feeling, but not so simple.
"Oops, oops, oops!"
At this moment, Kakashi and Lin saw a panting Obito sprinting towards the school gate outside the playground fence.
Lin and Kakashi looked at each other, a little helpless, and walked side by side towards the school gate.
"Here, Obito!" Lin waved her hand vigorously.
Seeing Lin, Obito quickened his pace and accidentally tripped in front of Lin.
"It's unbelievable. Both the entrance and graduation ceremonies are late. The graduation ceremony has ended long ago!"
Lin crossed her arms and scolded angrily.
"But it was because I met an old lady..."
Obito got up, lowered his head and explained a little aggrievedly.
"Obito, the probability of you encountering the old lady is a bit high."
Lin put her hands on her hips and softened her tone.
"Yeah, I don't know what's going on, but I keep getting ambushed recently."
Obito turned his head sideways, his tone somewhat helpless.
"That's right, isn't this just knowingly committing a crime! You..."
Lin sighed and said to Obito: "Follow me."
Kakashi on the side put his hands in his pockets and followed helplessly.
In the auditorium, Lin and Obito stood face to face on the podium.
Lin took out a graduation certificate and said to Obito: "Graduation certificate, Uchiha Obito, this is to prove that the student graduated from the Konoha Ninja Village Ninja School. Also, no matter it rains or winds, you are outstanding." You persisted in training, congratulations on your graduation!"
"Lin..."
Seeing Lin's angelic smile, Obito's eyes were sore and his voice was choked.
He wiped his tears and solemnly took the diploma: "Thank you, Lin. Although no one else was present to witness it, I am still happier like this than receiving the certificate from Grandpa Hokage!"
"So, have you forgotten that there is someone waiting for you next to you?"
Kakashi suddenly put his head in front of Obito and spoke in a bad tone.
"Ah this..."
Obito was speechless for a moment.
"Pfft~" Lin couldn't help laughing when she saw this scene, "Okay, from now on we are all genin, you have to cheer up!"
"Oh yes, becoming a genin requires a team of three to complete tasks, right? Has the group list been announced? Lin and I..."
"us......"
Lin suddenly lowered her head in disappointment.
"Could it be that we weren't grouped together..."
"I'm sorry, we are assigned to the same class."
Lin raised her head suddenly and replied with a bright smile.
"No!"
Obito's voice was full of surprise.
"Really, I have to continue to take care of you."
Lin put her hands on her hips, expressing her helplessness.
"That's great, that's great!" Obito turned around, flexed his arms and clenched his fists, and shouted excitedly. Then, as if he thought of something, he turned back, "Oh, who is the remaining person?"
"you guess."
Kakashi on the side interrupted abruptly.
"Tch, it turns out it's you~"
Obito pouted, originally thinking that after being divided into classes, he could spend more time with Rin than Kakashi, although he also wanted to be with Kakashi.
"Oh? Are you dissatisfied with teaming up with me?"
Kakashi raised his eyebrows and asked in a bad tone.
"Why, can't it?"
Obito was not to be outdone.
"It seems like we haven't played against each other for a while, so you're a little drifting~"
Kakashi began to gear up.
"Oh, I am different now than before, bastard Kakashi!"
"Okay, okay," Lin suddenly held their hands and ran briskly outside the house, "Today is a day worth celebrating. Let's go have barbecue. I'll treat you!"
