007 Ninja Academy Graduation 

When Jiraiya returned home, he looked at the document in his hand and felt dizzy.

A Nine-Tails Jinchūriki and two super geniuses from the ninja academy

In case something goes wrong...

Ugh.

Sarutobi-sensei seems to be really trying to squeeze him dry.

His eyes scanned the photos of the three students.

This document, provided by Anbu, contained detailed records of their lives from childhood to adulthood. 

Each one was a promising talent.

Nine Tails Jinchūriki certainly goes without saying.

This is the strategic weapon of every ninja village.

Using it wisely can be a great strength, but if mismanaged, it could lead to disaster. 

Therefore, this weapon must not fall into enemy hands. 

Jiraiya originally believed that Kushina should be kept under house arrest and protected by Konoha. 

He didn't expect the Third Hokage to be so bold this time, allowing the Jinchūriki to go to the battlefield for training.

Eventually, he focused on a boy named Simu. 

Anbu's evaluation described him as having no fighting spirit, being extremely lazy, and having a bad mouth. 

He only went between school and the orphanage each day, rarely practicing unless assigned a task by his teacher, and always left school right on time.

If it weren't for the sudden display of terrifying strength in this assessment, no one would have noticed him at all.

And also like to wear yellow sunglasses, and wearing a coat with the word "justice".

He was such an unremarkable, even a little annoying guy.

Unexpectedly, he won first place in this assessment in a crushing manner.

And was even chosen as the top student by the Third Hokage!

The Third Hokage also asked Jiraiya to pay attention to Simu's unique physical skills. 

If he wished, Jiraiya could include them in Konoha's scrolls. 

Jiraiya sensed something unusual about this information. How could someone who seemed mediocre, hardly worked hard, and lacked presence suddenly have such strong power? 

Did Simu really have a unique talent for physical arts?

 …

The next day, in the ninja school classroom, Simu's teacher, Samada Moku, wore a serious expression. 

He was known for his strict demeanor and was a Special Jōnin in his youth. 

Unfortunately, he had been injured on a mission and lost an arm, making him to step back and focus on training the next generation of ninjas for Konoha.

Because of this, he had high expectations for his students and was extremely serious. 

Even during this moment of parting, there was no smile on his face. 

Many students at the school complained about Samada Moku's strictness, but Simu, being more mature, understood the importance of his approach.

It is precisely because Samada Moku knows the cruelty of the battlefield that he maintains such a strict style.

What it does is make the students remember the mistakes they made.

He wants his students to learn from their mistakes now, while the consequences are just reprimands, but if his students make mistakes on the battlefield, they may lose their life!

"From today on, you are all ninjas," Samada Moku said firmly, his voice sharp and commanding. 

He raised his head and set the document down. 

"Here is the class schedule, which includes the names of your instructors. After class, contact them as instructed." 

With that, Samada Moku walked out of the classroom without looking back.

Just before leaving, Simu's sleepy eyes thought he saw Samada Moku's lips move a few times. If he wasn't mistaken, he caught the words: 

"Guys, don't die so easily." 

The graduating students would be divided into groups of three.

A Jōnin from Konoha will lead each team on their missions to ensure the rookies' safety during this early stage. 

The leading teacher plays a crucial role in determining their survival rate. 

Of course, having good teammates is also very important.

As soon as Samada Moku left, the other students hurried to the podium to check their group assignments. 

Simu, however, stayed in his seat and yawned. 

This year, there were quite a few strong students in his class.

Simu's classmates include the famous Ino–Shika–Chō trio: Akamichi Choza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Nara Shikaku. 

He also shares his class with Hyuga Hizashi of the Hyuga clan, Might Dai, and Uchiha Fugaku the future patriarch of the Uchiha clan. 

Unfortunately, their talents are overshadowed by Simu's brilliance at this time.

Especially Might Dai,

This guy has been stalking Simu since he showed off his terrifying physical skills yesterday.

"Simu, I hope we can be in a group together! We can really ignite our youth!" 

Might Dai exclaimed enthusiastically, wearing his signature green tights.

Simu rested his face in one hand and replied seriously:

"I can teach you [Finger Pistol] if you promise to be quiet." 

"Really, Mr. Simu?" Might exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock. 

Simu glanced at him and said with a hint of exasperation, "Yes, really." 

"Thank you, Mr. Simu!"
