Early Graduation, Third chain!
Time flies.
A year has passed since the enrolment.
With Hao's amazing performance in Ninja School, inadvertently, the name of Asakura Hao has spread with Shisui, genius of the Uchiha clan, in the village.
Now almost everyone in the village knows them, and compares them with Konoha's current first prodigy, Hatake Kakashi!
..
In Konoha's Hokage office.
Sitting there are the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, and two other high-level councillors Homura and Koharu.
"Application for early graduation..."
The two applications are placed in front of the Third Hokage, which attracted the attention of the four top members of Konoha.
With a pipe in his mouth, he exhaled thick smoke, the old face of the Third Hokage frowned deeply.
"Isn't it too early?" "They have only been in school for one year!"
It's now year 45 of Konoha, the Third Ninja War has become more and more deadlocked.
The war with the Sand ninja is still continuing. And at this time, Iwa in the Kingdom of Earth, suddenly raided Konoba through Kusagakure. Now Konoha has to face great pressure from both battlefields at the same time!
The continuous news from the front line immersed the whole Hokage office in a solemn atmosphere.
"I've never seen such a student..."
"All his ninjutsu, physical arts and theory are perfect scores."
Hearing the doubts of the Third Hokage in front of him, Shinku Yuhi in the Hokage's office stepped forward and knelt down on one knee. "All other aspects are also excellent, and it makes no sense to let him continue to stay in Ninja School.."
"So Hokage-sama, I suggest that Asakura Hao, should graduate early."
Seeing Shinku saying this, another Chuunin in the office also quickly stepped forward.
"Similarly, Hokage-Sama!"
"I also suggest Uchiha Shisui to apply for early graduation!"
It is the ninja instructor of Class 2 of Ninja School and the head teacher of Uchiha Shisui.
"Asakura Hao and Uchiha Shisui..."
Looking at Shinku Yuhi and another Chuunin in front of him, exhaling white smoke, The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, muttered these two names that have been widely discussed in the village recently.
" Both children applied for early graduation, but they are only in the first grade, right?"
Although he was surprised by the qualifications of the two boys, there was still a trace of concern on the face of the Third Hokage.
At the same time, he turned his eyes to the other three councillors around him to hear their opinion.
"The first grade, right..."
"But isn't that good? Besides, there are precedents, aren't there?"
At this time, a deep low voice sounded in the office, and Shimura Danzo, who was sitting next to the Hokage , opened his mouth.
"These two kids... should be rare geniuses for Konoha, right?"
"It's also for their own good, to graduate early..."
Shimura Danzo's left eye outside the white bandage, hid a trace of imperceptible greed and wild hope.
Since the establishment of the underground organization 'root' independent of Konoha, Danzo's desire for talents has become stronger and stronger.
For example, a few years ago, Kakashi, a talented ninja who graduated from ninja school at the age of five, was one of his long-coveted goals.
"Well..."
"Danzo's words are reasonable."
Although he usually has a different opinion from Danzo's, the Third Hokage rarely agreed with him for once.
There was a trace of nostalgia on the face of the Third Hokage, "I didn't expect that in just one year, those two boys applied for graduation.. truly amazing talent...
Asakura Hao, Uchiha Shisui, the amazing talent of two boys can't help but remind him of his beloved disciple ,Orochimaru.
No, even Orochimaru... didn't reach this level at their age...
"Such talent should be honed in advance."
The Third Hokage put down his pipe and signed his name on the application form.
"However, for the sake of their safety..."
"If they want to graduate early, they must be tested.."
Seeing that the Third Hokage beside him agreed to the application of the two for early graduation, Danzo's left eye flashed with gloom that no one could see.
If I'm not mistaken...
He should be the child adopted by that woman, right?
Asakura Hao...
...
Three days later.
The news that Uchiha's genius Shisui and Asakura Hao applied for early graduation caused a sensation in ninja school, and even many people were talking about it in the whole Konoha village.
"Have you heard of it? The genius of the Uchiha clan applied for early graduation!"
In a tavern, a Chuunin chatted with his companions.
"I've heard this a long time ago! However, in addition to Uchiha Shisui, another kid the same age as Shisui, also applied for early graduation.
Seeing the other Chuunins disapproval, he said, "Although Hokage-sama has approved , it's not so easy for those two kids to graduate smoothly."
"I heard that in addition to the normal graduation assessment content..."
"THAT TWO LITTLE KIDS HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST THREE GENIN ALONE BEFORE THEY CAN SUCCESSFULLY GRADUATE!"
"Three Genin!? Isn't that too unfair!?" Hearing this, the Chuunin's face was surprised "Generally, to graduate from Ninja School.., don't they just need to reach the level of Genin?"
"This is the news I heard when I was patrolling the Hokage office building..."
"After all, it's wartime now. If you don't want those two kids to die on the battlefield, they will definitely be more demanding on them."
"But Hokage-sama means not to defeat three Genin, as long as you survive in their hands, you pass."
"So that's how it is... It seems that Hokage-sama has taken great lengths for those children."

The back mountains of Konoha
Just as people were discussing that matter..
Hao is still alone here, practicing like crazy each and every day.
"Finally.."
Hao was drenched in sweat, and panting hard, but his face showed a smile of anticipation.
He concentrated his mental power to the mark on his hand.
