Graduation Arrives! [Part-32]

'No, if I-

We, want to live in peace in this world, even for a little while then Naruto and Sasuke need to grow up and learn to 'guide' this world. And besides I need more experience and strength without wasting my time on stuff that other people can take care of for me.

When Isshiki or Jigen, in 'Boruto', attack they'll probably come after the tailed beasts or people who are strong. And... There are many unknown variables right now.'

Veronica's face showed a bit disdain when she said the last part of her sentence. She heard Matatabi 'tch' and knew that she was quite annoyed with this situation.

[If you had finished 'Boruto' then we would know a lot more than now and perhaps, wouldn't have been left in the dark like this about your matters.]-Matatabi

Veronica sighed at that and thought of she herself was quite disappointed in herself for dying so early.

'I regret that every day, don't remind me of my failures.'

A mushroom grew on top Veronica's head as she sulked and Shikamaru looked quite disturbed, concerned and annoyed for his friend. He didn't know why but noticed how sometimes she would randomly have a switch of emotions.

'Everyone's weird around here.'

He shrugged it off with this thought and went back to lazing around.

[Focus on class.]-Tobirama

'Yes~'

Turning her head upwards, she looked around at all the students. For a moment, one could slightly see how Veronica was judging every single one of them. Their characters, their personality, their families and even people they had only met once, all of their information had been memorized by both of the people inside Veronica's head.

Veronica herself had managed to memorize a lot of their basic information.

"Alright class, I'll now announce your Genin teams!"-Iruka

'It's the moment of truth guys.'

[The moment of what-] -Matatabi

'Shush.'

Veronica looked a bit excited while thinking about who she would be teamed up with.

"Team 3, Veronica, Ohta and Tanaka. Your sensei will be meeting you at the Hokage monument. Both of your teammates are from another class so you will meet them outside. Due to some circumstances, you all will need to head out now."-Iruka

Iruka had looked quite surprised when he had called out Veronica's team which she didn't fail to catch.

[Ohta and Tanaka?]-Matatabi

[If I remember correctly, one of them is an Aburame and the other is a normal civilian.]-Tobirama

'Yes, if it weren't for the fact that they had been hiding their skills all throughout the academy, I wouldn't have even bothered with them. I have a feeling that something we didn't expect is going to happen.'

Matatabi let out a scoff in disbelief at what Veronica said.

[Something YOU didn't expect? That would be shocking considering how many theories you came up with on your way to school today.]-Matatabi

'Yeah yeah.

Tobirama-san, I'll be using the ghost jutsu again so you can find out who's on who's team for me.'

[Hn.]-Tobirama

Stepping out, she gave everyone a wave and a smile before closing the door. She froze a bit before returning back to normal.

'Change of plans, we're going to head to the bathroom to do this.'

Tobirama frowned a bit at that. He did not like the idea of being in the women bathroom just when he could finally step into the 'real world'.

[Why?]-Matatabi

'Some people are watching us.'

[I can't sense anyone.]-Matatabi

'No, as in someone is watching us from... like a camera.'

[Instinct?]-Tobirama

'Yes. And I know you all don't trust mine that much, yet, but it's better to be safe than sorry.'

[It might be Hiruzen. From your memories, we can see Hiruzen looking at Naruto and the others along with others from that peeping ball of his.]-Matatabi

'Yea, but we don't exactly know that.'

[Are you suggesting-] -Matatabi

'I'm not suggesting anything.'

Veronica quickly put down what Matatabi was going to say. She knew that thinking more about this wouldn't be beneficial to either of them so it was better to take some action.

Veronica did the hand signs for the ghost jutsu and pushed some chakra in her eyes. She saw Tobirama take form into some sort of a translucent version of himself, from when he was still alive.

He left after sparing her a glance and Veronica understood why the man was known to be a sadist.

'I'm glad he doesn't have a body right now...'

[Me too...]-Matatabi

Veronica headed out after washing her hands so as to not have people think that she was disgusting.

It was a peaceful journey if you ignore the fact that she was being watched by an old man and probably some other elder people who were known to have been leading the village.

Heading off to the meeting spot, she got a good look at her two teammates. Ohta Aburame and Tanaka.

'These two... We'll have to be careful around them. They're sharp.'

It was an instant observation. She didn't even need to get to know them.

'I guess it's a good thing they look down on me so much that they don't even bother to conceal the fact that they're judging me right off the bat.'

Her small smile didn't leave her face as she continued to openly judge them as well. They were a team of quite thick skinned people.

[Makes sense that they look down on you though. They were still quite reputable among the teachers, even though they never tried for tests, while you had always kept your intelligence hidden away. Even from your friends.] -Matatabi

Veronica agreed with Matatabi's reason and knew that they both had the same thought in their heads.

'Mhm. Which brings us to the important question. Why were they not a part of the rookie 9? Even if their last teammate was a dumb one, they should be able to pass on their own. It's clearly not a butterfly effect since I haven't done anything which could even involve these two until now.'

[It may be that this team isn't normal?]-Matatabi

'Isn't normal? It's quite possible.'

[Let's just observe them more for now.]-Matatabi
