Chapter 193: Natsuki's New Students



After thinking for a moment, Natsuki went to Konoha Hospital.

He planned to ask Nonō for her opinion first.

Natsuki arrived at her office, but she was not there.

He was not in a hurry, so he sat down on the sofa and waited.

While waiting, he casually took out an arrow.

Natsuki held the arrow.

Pink chakra flowed into it, filling the arrow with a soft, dazzling aura.

This was the result of his work during this period.

It was a new ability from the Love-Love Fruit, called Slave Arrow.

Anyone hit by this arrow would be petrified.

Aside from this, there was also another new ability.

In One Piece, Hancock used a technique called Perfume Femur.

After kicking the target, the part she struck would turn to stone and shatter.

This ability was clearly not limited to the legs.

It could spread from the legs to the entire body, allowing all taijutsu attacks to carry the effect of petrification.

Because of that, Natsuki directly renamed it Petrification.

These two abilities were very useful to him.

They matched his archery and taijutsu extremely well.

To be honest, having these two abilities was already enough.

If he continued developing the fruit, he would probably have to refer to Hancock's Mero Mero Mellow and take the ninjutsu route.

But he definitely would not learn Mero Mero Mellow.

Because using Mero Mero Mellow required forming a heart with both hands and releasing a heart-shaped beam.

If Natsuki really did that, he would probably flee the shinobi world overnight.

In the end, the Love-Love Fruit was more suitable for female users.

Unfortunately, the Love-Love Fruit belonged to the category of special abilities, so there was no way to teach it to others.

At that moment, the sound of the door opening rang out.

Natsuki raised his head and saw Nonō.

He immediately smiled and waved to her.

Nonō closed the door and quickly walked forward.

"How are Shizune and Rin doing in the medical-nin training class?"

Natsuki asked.

"Their talent is indeed very high."

Nonō sat down beside him and said, "Although they have not graduated yet, they already have the level of chunin."

Natsuki was not surprised.

In the original story, Rin was twelve when she died.

At that time, she had already learned the Mystical Palm Technique.

Although she was only nine now, she had been learning medical ninjutsu ever since entering school. Having chunin-level ability was not unreasonable.

"Both of them applied to graduate this March."

Natsuki said, "Aside from them, Asuma and the others from the same class also applied."

"You came to me because you want me to become a team instructor?"

Nonō was very smart and immediately understood.

Natsuki nodded slightly, then asked, "Do you want to take one student or three?"

Nonō could not help falling into thought.

Under normal circumstances, a team instructor would have three students.

But with her current status, she did not need to follow the rules.

Just like Tsunade, who had only taken one student.

"I will take one student."

Nonō explained, "I have a lot of work right now, so I do not have time to take students out on missions."

She was not only the deputy director of Konoha Hospital, but also the director of Konoha Orphanage.

Aside from being very busy, she did not like fighting.

"Between Shizune and Rin, who do you choose?"

Natsuki could understand her thoughts, so he did not try to persuade her.

"Either is fine."

Nonō raised her head, looked at him, and said gently, "You choose for me."

"Shizune."

Natsuki answered.

Nonō could not help smiling and said, "Shizune is indeed more suitable. There is no need to separate Obito and Rin."

She also knew some of the rules behind team assignments.

For example, students with good relationships would be placed on the same team.

This way, they could integrate into the team faster.

At the same time, it could also deepen the bond between them.

Obito clung to Rin every day. If they were separated, Rin's team instructor would probably have a headache.

"I will put Shizune on my team."

Natsuki said, "That way, you only need to teach her medical ninjutsu."

Nonō had also experienced this kind of arrangement.

She had studied under Tsunade, but she had been on the same team as Natsuki and Nawaki.

The greatest benefit was that Tsunade had saved a lot of trouble.

Now that it was Shizune's turn, Nonō would not need to be so busy.

"Who will your other two students be?"

Nonō asked curiously, "Kakashi?"

Kakashi had always been learning from Natsuki, Nawaki, and Minato, so she naturally knew about it.

"I will not choose him."

Natsuki shook his head and said.

Kakashi's talent was indeed very high, and he was also suitable to become his student.

But it was unnecessary.

First, he was deeply connected to Obito.

Second, if Natsuki chose him, it would be difficult to arrange Obito and Rin's teammate. Whoever went would be in danger.

Keeping the original team's composition would be easier for Natsuki to handle instead.

"Then who will you choose?"

Nonō asked with some surprise.

"Guy and Kurenai."

Natsuki thought for a moment and said.

Guy could learn his taijutsu.

Kurenai could not only learn taijutsu, but also his genjutsu.

Together with Shizune, the team's composition would be extremely complete, with offense, control, and healing.

"I have heard Shizune and Rin mention them. They are both excellent in class."

Nonō nodded and said.

"When they take the graduation exam, come with me to the Ninja Academy."

Natsuki said, "I still need to inform Nawaki, Minato, and the others."

Nonō nodded.

After leaving Konoha Hospital, Natsuki thought for a moment and did not directly go to find Nawaki and Minato.

He returned to his office, then sent Anbu shinobi to notify them.

Before long, the two of them entered his office together.

"Natsuki."

When Nawaki saw him, he impatiently asked, "Is something big happening?"

This was the first time Natsuki had asked him and Minato to come to his office.

Minato did not ask, but he was also very curious.

"It can be considered a big matter."

Natsuki smiled and said, "I want you to become team instructors."

"Team instructors?"

Nawaki froze for a moment, then asked excitedly, "Which students are graduating?"

He had wanted to become a team instructor for a long time, and now his wish had finally come true.

Minato immediately thought of Kakashi.

He wondered who his teacher would be.

But with how outstanding Kakashi was, Natsuki would probably choose him.

"There are quite a lot of graduating students."

Natsuki handed him a scroll and said, "See for yourself."

Nawaki immediately opened the scroll and began reading.

Seeing this, Minato also leaned over.

"No wonder you want us to become team instructors. So Kakashi's class is graduating."

Nawaki still remembered that when Kakashi and the others had enrolled, Natsuki had praised them.

"I plan to take Guy, Kurenai, and Shizune as my students."

Natsuki nodded and said directly.

"You are not choosing Kakashi?"

Minato showed a surprised expression.

"I am rather familiar with Guy's father."

Natsuki casually made up a reason and said, "Besides, Kakashi has a good relationship with Obito and Rin. It would not be good to split them up."

"I see."

Minato did not doubt him.

Because the first time Might Duy became famous in Konoha was during the Chunin Exams.

And the reason he had been able to take part in the Chunin Exams was Natsuki's recommendation.

Natsuki could be considered someone who had discovered Duy's talent.

"In that case, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin will be on one team? Who will be their team instructor?"

Minato asked again.

"Do you want to be their team instructor?"

Natsuki asked in return.

"Me?"

Minato had not expected this, but he quickly nodded and said, "I have no objections."

Just Kakashi alone was already enough to satisfy him.

"What about me?"

Seeing that they had already assigned six students, Nawaki quickly asked.

"You can choose from the remaining students."

Natsuki pointed at the scroll and said.

"Asuma and Ibiki are not bad."

Nawaki looked at the list on the scroll, scratched his head, and said, "But the third student is hard to choose."

There was no need to say much about Asuma Sarutobi.

Although his talent could not compare to Kakashi and the others, his future achievement was still that of a jonin.

To be fair, anyone who could become a jonin could already be called a rare genius.

Most importantly, his surname was Sarutobi.

He was destined to become a shinobi of the Hokage faction.

Otherwise, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely be dissatisfied.

He had retired normally and still held great influence in the village.

In addition, he was also Orochimaru's teacher, so they had to give him some face.

Ibiki Morino was a Tokubetsu Jonin in the original story.

But he was the head of the Torture and Interrogation Force and was especially skilled in interrogation and intelligence work.

He was qualified to become Nawaki's student.

The remaining students were relatively ordinary.

Tonbo Tobitake was only a chunin in the original story.

Mizuki was also a chunin, but he was even worse than Tonbo.

Because his character was not good.

Not only had he caused the deaths of his teammates, but he had also tricked Naruto into stealing the Scroll of Seals.

"What kind of student do you want?"

After thinking for a moment, Natsuki asked.

Nawaki's third student was indeed difficult to choose.

Because he was Orochimaru's student.

His own students should at least become Tokubetsu Jonin in the future.

Otherwise, it would somewhat embarrass the Hokage faction.

As his teammate, Natsuki naturally had to help him.

"It would be best if it were a medical-nin."

Nawaki paused, then said, "If not a medical-nin, then at least a genius."

Among the students graduating this time, the six students chosen by Natsuki and Minato had the best results.

After them were Asuma and Ibiki.

Natsuki nodded slightly.

He suddenly thought of Yamato.

Unfortunately, because of his butterfly effect, Yamato no longer existed.

If he were here, he would be very suitable to become Nawaki's student.

After all, he had Wood Release.

"Can we choose from students who have not graduated yet?"

Minato suddenly thought of something and asked.

"That is a good method."

Natsuki raised an eyebrow and said.

Geniuses always received preferential treatment.

Just like Kakashi, who had graduated not long after entering school.

If there were geniuses among the students who had not yet graduated, they could be allowed to graduate early.

That student definitely would not miss the opportunity to become Nawaki's student either.

Nawaki was the student of the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru.

The student's family would probably force them to become Nawaki's student.

"Wait here. I will send someone to the Ninja Academy to get the student lists for the other years."

Natsuki stood up, walked to the door, and called an Anbu shinobi, ordering him to go to the Ninja Academy.

"I hope there is a genius like Kakashi!"

Nawaki clasped his hands together and said.

"A genius like Kakashi is something one can only encounter by chance."

Minato smiled and said, "A genius slightly inferior to him would already be very good."

"Do not worry. There will be one."

Although Natsuki did not know which geniuses had yet to graduate, there were still quite a few talented people during this period.

In the original story, the named characters were mainly concentrated in Kakashi's generation and Naruto's generation.

Before long, the Anbu shinobi knocked on the door and walked in.

Natsuki accepted the list.

He swept his gaze over it and immediately saw two familiar names.

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu.

In the original story, both of them were Tokubetsu Jonin.

Genma had also served as one of the guards of the Fourth Hokage, Minato.

He was qualified to become Nawaki's student.

But as Natsuki continued looking down, he saw another familiar name.

Anko Mitarashi.

Anko was Orochimaru's student in the original story.

She was a Tokubetsu Jonin and had also been marked with the Cursed Seal of Heaven.

"Anko Mitarashi."

Natsuki handed the list to Nawaki and said, "Although she is young, she ranks first in her year. Her talent is not bad."

"Then I do not need to look anymore. A student you choose definitely will not have any problems."

Nawaki waved his hand and said.

Natsuki chuckled and asked, "Do either of you have any other thoughts?"

"No."

Minato and Nawaki said at the same time.

"When the graduation exam arrives, I will notify you."

Natsuki nodded and said, "Go handle your own matters. I still need to continue assigning the teams."

"You are assigning the teams?"

Minato could not help freezing.

"Sensei asked me to do it."

Natsuki answered.

Minato hesitated to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.

Team assignments had always been the Hokage's job.

Orochimaru asking Natsuki to assign the teams was practically saying that the next Hokage would be Natsuki.

But it was also normal.

Although Minato wanted to become Hokage, he knew very well that he could not compare to Natsuki.

Because of that, he accepted it sincerely.

Time arrived at the next day.

Natsuki gave the team assignment list to Orochimaru.

It was worth mentioning that team assignments did not only include the distribution of graduating students, but also the assignment of team instructors.

"Anko Mitarashi."

Orochimaru asked with some surprise, "Is she a graduating student this year?"

"No."

Natsuki explained, "But the other graduating students are not suitable to become Nawaki's students."

"No wonder."

Orochimaru nodded, then said, "Her parents were once my subordinates, but they have already died in battle."

Natsuki paused slightly and understood.

In his previous life, he had never understood why Anko Mitarashi had become Orochimaru's student.

After all, Orochimaru had already fallen into darkness at that time.

But clearly, he had treated Anko very well and had regarded her as a true student, almost the same way he treated Nawaki.

If her parents had been Orochimaru's subordinates and had already died in battle, then it indeed made sense.

"Then let it be like this."

Orochimaru returned the list to Natsuki and said, "Go notify them."

"Yes, Sensei."

Natsuki turned and left.

After returning to his office, he had the Anbu shinobi send the notifications.

Time arrived in March.

The Ninja Academy once again welcomed graduation season.

At nine in the morning, the classroom used for the graduation exam was already filled with students.

Aside from the sixth-year students graduating normally, there were also students who had applied to graduate early.

Asuma Sarutobi, Kurenai Yūhi, Obito Uchiha, Might Guy, Shizune, and the others were among them.

"I will definitely be on the same team as Rin!"

Obito said with a confident expression.

"Rin and I are both medical-nin, so it will be hard for us to be assigned to the same team again."

Shizune said with some regret.

She and Rin had always attended the medical-nin training class together, so they had already become good friends.

"It is fine."

Rin said gently, "Whether we are teammates or not will not affect our friendship."

"Exactly!"

Might Guy immediately gave a thumbs-up and said, "Youth is everywhere!"

At that moment, the entire classroom fell silent.

Kakashi walked in.

He had entered the academy at five and graduated at five, so he was extremely famous in the Ninja Academy.

Because of that, when the students in the classroom saw him, all of them revealed expressions of disbelief.

"Wha... Kakashi?"

Obito's confused expression immediately turned into shock.

"Kakashi, over here!"

Might Guy greeted him with a face full of surprise.

"What is going on?"

Shizune asked in astonishment.

"Kakashi, are you here to watch my graduation exam?"

After Kakashi came closer, Might Guy said excitedly, "Do not worry. My youth will not disappoint you!"

"No."

Kakashi said calmly, "Like you, I am here to participate in the graduation assignment."

"Did you not graduate a long time ago?"

Obito subconsciously asked, "What about your teammates?"

"Although I graduated, I have never had teammates."

Kakashi explained.

"This is a good thing!"

Might Guy said happily, "Maybe we will become teammates! Just thinking about it makes my youth burn!"

The corner of Kakashi's mouth twitched.

He silently thought that he absolutely hoped not.

"How could this happen?"

An ominous feeling immediately rose in Obito's heart.

What if Kakashi and Rin became teammates?

No.

Such a thing could not happen.

"Kakashi, do you know anything about the team assignments?"

Asuma patted his shoulder and asked.

He knew Kakashi had always been learning under Natsuki, Nawaki, and the others.

Natsuki and Nawaki were also Orochimaru's students.

In theory, Kakashi might know the team assignments in advance.

"I do not know."

Kakashi shook his head and said, "Natsuki-senpai and the others did not tell me."

"I see."

Asuma did not ask further.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded again.

Everyone subconsciously looked over and saw a proud-looking little girl walk in.

She was Anko Mitarashi.

One month ago, she had received the notification.

When she learned that it was the Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, who had arranged for her to graduate early, she immediately agreed and became very pleased with herself.

Her personality was actually somewhat similar to Nawaki's, cheerful and carefree.
