9 Team Guy

" Don't worry everyone, just do your best, you all have studied hard these years, graduation should be easy for everyone, let's start. "

The class teacher gave his morale booster speech and started with the test.

" Taku. "

The one named Taku gulped, he looked at Shin as if trying to find support.

" Go for it! "

He looked at me!

He talked to me!

He wished me!

I am invincible!

With his chest puffed out from pure confidence, Taku went inside the graduation room.

He couldn't possibly fail if Shin thinks he will pass!

The fan group seemed to agree with that as well, as they started murmuring how Taku was cheating in his exams.

A good luck from Shin? That was a sure fire way to pass!

Tenten looked at Shin with a smile

" Shin kun, do you think Taku will pass? "

Shinnosuke didn't tell her he doesn't even know the dude, he simply had an image to maintain.

He simply smiled and nodded, when in doubt, just smile and wave- nod.

" Haah you are so nice Shin.. Everyone will be full of confidence because of you.. it's sad that guy Rock lee dropped out.. He could have passed if you wished him luck Shin. "

Neji grunted as he replied instead of Shin.

" Give up, that's fate - "

Getting a smile from Shin, Neji trembled as he remembered Shin's reaction to the word fate, he changed his words instantly.

" I mean that's his choice. Yes his choice. He simply couldn't do any ninjutsu, I have seen inside of him on one occasion, he cannot physically mould chakra. "

Seeing Tenten raise her eyebrows, Neji clarified.

" He was around when I had activated my byakugan once, that's how I know. "

Shin and Tenten both nodded, but Shin knew if history didn't change, might guy should be the one to recommend Rock lee for graduation.

Rock lee had impressed might guy with his dedication, might guy had decided to help him pass.

It was that simple.

" I think rock lee can become a Ninja, Neji, we of all people shouldn't look down on Taijutsu, he might not be able to do anything more, but under right circumstances, that is enough. "

Neji didn't scoff at that, Shinnosuke was named the Taijutsu genius, if he thought someone like Lee can achieve great things, there was substance to it.

So he simply nodded lightly.

Tenten too nodded, but she thought he was only being nice.

As they were talking in a low voice, the class teacher finally called one of them.

" Shinnosuke Uchiha! "

* Yaaaa *

* Shin sama! *

Amongst the cheers of his fanbase, Shinnosuke got up to give his graduation exam.

" A clone Jutsu. "

He had an urge to laugh, currently an exam for him would be something of the calibre of going against a S class Ninja.

But clone justu it is.

" Clone Justu! "

* Puff *

Giving Shinnosuke a smile, the teacher graded

" Masterfully done, no difference from the actual entity, lifelike in visuals, good job. Here's your headband, Mr genius. "

Giving the teacher a polite smile, Shin left, as the next student was being called.

" Wow you passed congratulations! "

Tenten hugged Shin tightly, as Shin lightly patted the over excited girl's back.

Neji also gave a nod, as if giving his wishes.

" Now get ready you two, don't mess this up. I want to form a team with you both. "

Tenten was over cloud nine and Neji smiled faintly.

Shinnosuke wasn't the only one wanting them to be together, they too hoped for the same.

Shinnosuke let them be as he already knew what would happen

' When I was given the title Taijutsu genius, I was switched to this class in particular, it wasn't hard to understand where I will be placed, especially now that rock lee was not coming to the academy anymore. '

Shinnosuke was being planned to be part of Guy's team from the get go, he had understood that long ago.

That was one of the reasons he had made good bonds with Neji and Tenten.

' I knew one would be kicked out, I was betting on it being Tenten, but it was rock lee instead. '

Shinnosuke shook his head as he thought

' No that is the best course of action, Neji is a Hyuga, Tenten is filthy rich, those weapons don't pay of themselves, her father owns majority of Konoha's weapon market, and I am the Uchiha future clan leader. '

Only rock lee had nothing, he wasn't even fit to be a Ninja conventionally, the only reason he was given a chance was due to guy pleading.

' Unless something happened, he would still be given a chance, but he shouldn't be the members of Guys team anymore.. A lone Genin like Might Duy maybe? '

Shinnosuke let this thought go, anyway, he cannot do anything, this was all the upper level's decision making.

He will just have to wait for them to announce his team for full proof confirmation.
