"Aida Maki, Akasaka Rei, Akino, you are Squad 1!"
"Yay!" The three children cheered and gathered together, seemingly very good friends.
.....
The list was read out one by one, and finally it was Kaoru's turn.
"Finally, Hazuki Hina, Shin, and Uchiha Kaoru! You are Squad 8!"
Among the students, the red-haired little girl and a silver-haired boy looked at Kaoru together.
Kaoru felt their gaze and nodded to them.
"Okay, the squad grouping ends here, now you can disband. At two o'clock this afternoon, you will gather at the designated place for your respective squads, waiting for your teachers to come!"
Mizuki said, putting away the list. He and the other teachers all breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, another group of graduates was sent off, although they didn't know how many of them would successfully pass.
And after the teachers left, the students gathered together in groups of three according to their squad assignments and began to discuss the next plan.
The two children named Shin and Hina also came to Kaoru.
After introducing each other, Shin took the lead and said: "Who do you think our mentor will be?"
"I don't know." Hina shook her head, her face full of worry, I hope it's not too strict....
By the way, should we hold a welcome ceremony for him when the teacher comes, and give him some good feelings first, so that he might not make things too difficult for us in the future.
Kaoru smiled. Little girls had many thoughts, but he didn't have time to prepare any welcome ceremony.
"It's not necessary. Although the Chunin exam is not too strict, it won't be that easy. A welcome ceremony can't change anything." Kaoru said.
"But....." Hina pouted, "Maybe it will be useful?"
"Then you prepare, I won't participate." Kaoru shook his head and said.
"See you this afternoon!" He added, and then left the training ground leisurely.
"What, he's clearly younger than us, but he's acting like an adult!" Hina stomped her feet and complained dissatisfiedly.
Time flew by, and it was afternoon. It was summer, and the entire Konoha Village was scorched by the scorching sun.
A small forest on the west side of Konoha Village was a good place to hide from the shade, and under a shade of trees, two children were waiting here boredly.
This place was the gathering place for Squad 8. The two children were Hina and Shin, and Hina had been constantly looking at her watch from just now until now.
"It's almost 2 o'clock now, and that lower grade kid hasn't come yet. If our mentor arrives first in a while, and finds that our squad members are not all here, it will definitely leave a bad impression on him." Hina muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Don't worry, I believe he will come." Shin comforted aside. He had a weed in his mouth, a scroll on his back, and his eyes were wandering aimlessly.
"He's here!" Shin looked ahead and said with a smile.
Sure enough, a figure appeared in the forest again. He was wearing a black suit, his black hair fell to his eyebrows, and a smile was on his handsome face, it was Kaoru.
Hina looked at him walking out of the forest, and her eyes were slightly lost.
"You came quite early!" Kaoru said.
Hina shook her head lightly, throwing away the thought just now, and then shouted to Kaoru: It's clearly you who are too late.
There are still five minutes until two o'clock. It's a good thing the teacher didn't arrive early, otherwise if she found out you were late, you would definitely be eliminated directly!
"I'm not late." Kaoru shrugged, "Didn't you just say that there are still five minutes?"
"You!!" Hina's heart suddenly became dissatisfied, and just as she was about to retort, she heard a voice coming from the forest again.
"Kids, what are you arguing about?"
This crisp and pleasant voice immediately attracted the attention of Kaoru and the three, and they all looked towards the sound, and a graceful figure appeared in front of them.
Smooth hair like a waterfall was casually draped over her shoulders, fiery red pupils, a sexy and hot figure, exuding infinite charm between her frowns and smiles.
It was Kurenai Yuhi!
Beautiful women, everyone likes them, and children are no exception. Hina and Shin were stunned by the appearance of Kurenai, and Kaoru couldn't help but sigh.
Kurenai should be just in her early twenties now, but she already had the charm of a mature woman, which was very lethal to men.
"I'm asking you, what are you arguing about?" Kurenai asked again when she saw that the three of them were not speaking.
"N-nothing?" Hina said with a red face, and then trotted to Kurenai: "You are our teacher, right? This flower is for you, teacher, representing the heart of our Squad 8."
With that said, Hina sent a white flower to Kurenai.
"Thank you, little sister!" Kurenai smiled and took the white flower.
"However, even if I accept the flowers, I will strictly assess you, be prepared." She continued.
"Oh.... I know." Hina was a little frustrated. It seemed that what Kaoru said was true, and showing goodwill to the teacher couldn't change anything.
"Good!" Kurenai nodded, "First of all, let's have a self-introduction, little sister, you start first."
Seeing that Kurenai first pointed to her, Hina immediately said loudly: "My name is Hazuki Hina, I am 12 years old this year, and my dream is to become a powerful ninja."
"Very good, your dream will definitely come true." Kurenai nodded and then looked at Shin with an inquiring look.
Seeing this, Shin immediately said: "My name is Shin, I was originally a war orphan from his village, and later I was taken in by an adult in the village before I came here to study."
After he said these words, his face was very calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.
"Taken in by an adult?" Kaoru muttered in his heart.
Looking at Shin's appearance, it seemed that there was something unspeakable, and he was unwilling to reveal the identity of this adult.
Was the adult in his mouth the Third Hokage or someone else.....
"I'm sorry for what happened to you in the past..." Kurenai said in a low voice, "But since you have already come to the big family of Konoha, forget the past, you will definitely be happy in the future."
Shin nodded and did not speak.
"Then you are Iruka's genius student, Uchiha Kaoru, right?" Kurenai turned her gaze and looked at Kaoru with a smile.
She had already heard from Iruka about the Uchiha genius who had just attended school for less than half a month and graduated directly.
"I can't bear the name of genius, I'm just diligent enough."
Kaoru replied with a smile. He said this sincerely.
In order to escape from the extermination, he had put in more effort than ordinary people.
