****************

Konoha year 60, Autumn.

At the ninja academy, Iruka walked into the classroom with a look of anger, followed by a dejected Naruto.

"You go to the back and stand for me there for a day!"

Looking at the disobedient Naruto, Iruka got angry again.

Because of Naruto, he has been approached by the Third Hokage to talk to him for six years.

After every naughty act, he was responsible for cleaning up the mess.

The same was true today, as Naruto slipped out of the academy if he didn't pay attention.

With a paint bucket, he had made a mess for the Hokage.

Iruka just bowed and apologized to those Anbu and guard ninjas who took care of the aftermath.

He was now finished with Naruto and ready to start today's lesson.

Glancing at the rest of the class unconsciously, Iruka's blood pressure went up.

"Where are Kiba and the others?"

In the huge classroom, several empty seats were particularly obvious.

Except for one that belonged to Naruto, the others Iruka also remembered clearly.

Kiba, Shikamaru, Colt, and Chōji.

These four guys, including Naruto, were literally the five biggest troublemakers in the class.

Sleeping in class, distracted, handing in blank papers, teasing pets, all the things that students can't do, these people did all of them.

Hinata and Ino noticed the anger of Iruka.

They looked at each other, full of helplessness.

Ino stood up, "Teacher, Kiba, and the others are going to practice ninjutsu. After all, the graduation exam is coming soon, so it's understandable."

She reluctantly found a reason for the unreliable students.

Whether Iruka believed it or not, she tried her best.

"Damn, Kiba didn't call me! He was just afraid that I would surpass him when I became stronger!"

Naruto, who was standing at the back, was unhappy and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Idiot!"

Sasuke snorted disdainfully, and Haruno Sakura in the back row was fascinated with him as usual.

"Damn Sasuke, you're one to talk!"

"Shut up Naruto!" A tic tac toe appeared on Iruka's forehead, and he was about to be defeated by these students of his.

Which of these guys who skipped class was not beyond the existence of ordinary students? Do you still need to practice the three-body technique?

This was to fool him as a fool!

'Forget it, it's just a few days anyway.'

Iruka took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Next week, as long as next week's graduation assessment was finished, he will be free, and he will no longer have to face these troublesome children.

...

In a corner of the academy, the group of four who skipped class at this time were lazing on their sun loungers leisurely.

"Colt, you are indeed a genius. You actually thought of using a scroll to seal a chair."

Shikamaru raised his head and faced the Lazy Bum Colt, who was covered by some leaves, with a contented expression on his face.

Why hadn't he thought of this trick before?

Go back to his dad to ask for a few scrolls, and then put all these things in.

Chōji nodded frantically, agreeing with Shikamaru.

'It's so comfortable to lie on a chair and eat potato chips.'

If he could seal the potato chips into the scroll, he wouldn't have to worry about not having anything to eat even if he left the village to do a mission.

"Colt, here, eat some potato chips."

Colt was a little flattered that Chōji would give up the food in his hand to him which was not something he would usually do.

'I think only Shikamaru and Naruto succeeded in this, and now… Me.'

Colt took a few.

Kiba was speechless, "Aren't you guys afraid that Teacher Iruka will be angry when he finds out? He will definitely be very angry!"

"Don't worry." Shikamaru waved his hand, "We are about to graduate soon, and there is nothing to talk about in the classroom now, at most the content of the exam."

"Iruka-sensei also needs to tutor the idiots of the class, he has no time to think about us."

The corners of Colt's mouth twitched, Shikamaru's words were sharp, but they were cruel to those said idiots, which included one very know person, Naruto.

After hearing what Shikamaru said, Kiba was relieved and sighed.

"In the blink of an eye, we'll be graduating soon."

As soon as these words came out, the four were silent, and even Chōji stopped eating his potato chips.

After next week they will be real ninjas.

They didn't know if there were still such easy days left to enjoy for them.

Shikamaru was dazed, his biggest ideal was to marry a beautiful wife, and after a peaceful life, die in the arms of the other party.

But since he was born in the ninja clan and was the son of the patriarch, there were some things he had to do.

"It's really troublesome."

Life was not easy, Shikamaru sighed.

Colt knew that after they graduated, the entire ninja world would be completely turbulent.

Three years later, more battles with enemies will be undergone.

The current Colt was still unable to achieve the level of high-speed flying and immortals fighting in the later stage.

Damn Sasuke, he has been beaten by him at least a hundred times in the past few years, and he has contributed a lot of attributes to Colt.

But why hasn't [Indra's Chakra] been revealed yet?

Was this Indra (Sasuke) reincarnation a fake?

Thinking about the extermination of the Uchiha, Colt doubted whether Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra.

After all, every generation of Indra was an unapparelled genius.

Seeing that his own words had messed up the atmosphere, Kiba felt a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, how do you think the teams will be divided?"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes, "In my case, Chōji and Ino are definitely together with me."

"As for you, it is very likely that Sasuke and Hinata will form a team with you."

Shikamaru was well aware that dragons do not dwell with snakes.

It was impossible for the children of these big clans to team up with those civilians.

As for the teams, a girl would usually join two teammates as a member.

His dad's team was even worse, the Ino–Shika–Chō trio were all male.

The only thing that bothered him was Colt.

Although Colt's strength was unclear to him.

But Sasuke had challenged him countless times over the years, all of which have ended in failure.

The title of first in actual combat has always been firmly controlled by Colt.

This was enough to prove his power.

"Shikamaru is right."

"Kiba, Shikamaru, Ino and Hinata, look out after these two for me."

Colt didn't care much about their team's assignment, but more about the arrangement of his two little girlfriends.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect Hinata." Kiba patted his chest and assured, and Akamaru above his head also barked.

Shikamaru also responded.

Although his tone was lazy, Colt believed that he would definitely be able to do it.

It's a man's promise to a friend.
