Chapter 77: A War is Coming!!

Tsukimi got up and walked towards Akira and requested, while the two girls followed behind him.

"Teacher, we would like to apply for an early graduation."

Akira was a little shocked but he was not surprised. He knew how powerful they were, they had easily defeated a genin a year ago. There was not even a doubt about their physical abilities let alone their skills.

The kids got shocked as they started talking among each other.

"They are planning on graduating so early?

Aren't they full of themselves?"

"If it's them they can probably do it."

"Yeah I heard that Akihiko-kun defeated a genin easily."

Hearing these comments from the students, the people from the Uchiha clan were not happy.

Especially Ren Uchiha, he hated how he was defeated by Tsukimi and practiced way harder than before and even made plans to defeat him but now the boy was suddenly leaving and graduating before him.

He also wanted to graduate but he knew he was unable to do so because he was not fully prepared and even his jutsus hadn't reached the appropriate level for graduation.

"Sure, let me prepare the test for you and inform Hokage-sama about it."

After agreeing to his request Akira picked up the documents and walked out of the room.

Tsukimi and the girls returned to their seats and a group of kids approached them. They were Mikoto, Minato, Kushina and Hanami. Hanami kept a little distance from the group and hid behind them.

"Akihiko-kun, you are going to graduate?? You are amazing, Dattebane!" Kushina jumped at him and spoke in a cheery voice.

She had become friends with him in these years just like the other well that's what they seem to think.

Tsukimi on the other hand cannot just seemingly accept them as friends. He want to wait for them to grow up and when they face the real world their personality might change and he might come to hate them which was the reason that Tsukimi was thinking of seeing how they turn out to be.

But before Kushina could reach Tsukimi, a strong grip stopped her mid-air. Kushina turned and looked at the person who stopped her and saw a pair of cold blue eyes boring into her.

She gulped out of fear instinctively seeing those eyes.

"You shouldn't jump at people randomly Kushina-san." Matatabi's cold voice entered Kushina's ears and her face turned red realizing what she was going to do. being overly excited she was going to hug a boy who was already engaged.

The temperament of his fiancés' was well know in the class and this caused Tsukimi's fangirl to just look at him from distance.

Minato chuckled wryly seeing the weird atmosphere and interrupted.

"Well what Kushina said is true, it's not even three years since the classes started and you are already leaving."

He sighed realizing that they might not see each other for a long time.

"Me too, I want to spar against Haruki again." Mikoto also chimed in while glancing at the girl holding Kushina by her collar with a weird look.

"It will be sad when you- three are not here." Hanami added in a soft voice. She was a little shy person but not to the point she couldn't speak with others.

Tsukimi sighed seeing their reactions and spoke.

"You kids are acting like we won't be seeing each other again. You know genin missions are all in the Village itself. I don't have to leave or go to any other Village unless-."

He did not continue but they already understood what he was talking about. The situation in the world was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

Some tension seemed to be brewing in the area and the people with experience and power knew what was going to happen.

A war was coming!!

In general situations Genins were not given hard or life threatening missions but if the war arrives they have to follow the orders of the Hokage and leave the village to do the life threatening missions.

Well even if they had to join they would not be in danger but their enemies would be the one who would be in danger.

"Besides, I don't think it will be long before you all will be able to graduate too but I suggest getting as strong as you can before something happens."

He glanced at all of them and could basically guess their power levels.

Hearing his words Minato and the rest nodded in agreement. There was a glint of eagerness in their eyes. They all wanted to graduate from the academy and prove themselves as Ninjas.

Seeing their looks Tsukimi shook his head.

'Too much manipulation made the new generation so eager to become ninja without even realizing what they are in for.'

It was the consequences of the actions of the people who wanted to manipulate people that made little children want to jump on the battlefield. Half of them quit when they have to kill for the first time while some of them become the perfect soldiers the village needs.

Before they could continue their conversation, the door of the class opened up revealing three figures.
