The Kingdom of Rain is just one of the countries built by humans.

Beyond that, the country has no more meaning in such chaotic times.

◎

Early April.

A new round of graduates emerge from the ninja school and become a true genin, who will build their own passionate ninja life.

In Konoha Ichiraku Ramen Shop, Sakumo's team celebrates here.

"Too slow. Today is an important day."

The black-haired girl in front of the ramen shop is slim and has a cold voice.

The upper body is wearing a dark strapless tights, and the hands are wearing black gloves that go above the elbows. The gloves on the back of the hands are equipped with extremely hard iron pieces, which are special protective gear that can be used to resist kunai and ninja swords.

The lower body is wearing a short skirt and black knee-high socks that can show off the shape of the legs. The ninja bag is tied to the thigh with a belt. The overall look is just right.

On the back of her black tights, the Uchiha fan logo is embroidered.

This girl is none other than Liuli.

Compared with three years ago, she has grown a lot. Now she is the stable second-in-command of Sakumo's team and a talented ninja who is widely known among Konoha.

She was holding her hands on her chest, with a cold face, as if she was dissatisfied with Shiraishi's late arrival at this time.

"What does it matter? Isn't the time just right?"

Another girl with black hair smiled and helped Shiraishi to rescue him.

This girl is Ayane.

Compared to Liuli, after three years, she has actually changed more.

For example, body shape.

For example, breasts.

Wearing a light white custom-made kimono with a hem that does not reach the knees ensures the flexibility of the legs.

On her legs, she wore white knee-high socks similar to those of Ruri. She didn't carry a ninja bag on her thighs. If she didn't wear a forehead protector on her forehead, she didn't look like a ninja at all.

But her weapon might be strapped somewhere else.

"Has Sakumo-sensei arrived yet?"

Shiraishi didn't pay attention to Ruri's dissatisfied attitude and asked about Sakumo.

He was holding a gift bag with several gift boxes in his hand.

Because today is a special day.

"I've been here for a long time. I'm waiting for you."

"Really? There's nothing we can do about it. I have some things to deal with before. It'll be nice if I can catch up. Anyway, I didn't forget to bring the gift."

With that said, Shiraishi picked up the gift bag in his hand and said with a smile.

Liuli's face looked better now.

The three of them entered the Ichiraku Ramen shop. Sakumo was sitting there. To his right, there was also a boy with the same white hair, about five or six years old, wearing a mask on his face and a ninja forehead protector on his forehead.

It proves that this boy, who is only five or six years old, has officially graduated from the ninja school and is a qualified Konoha ninja.

"Long time no see, Kakashi."

"Long time no see, Senior Shiraishi."

This boy is Sakumo's son, Hatake Kakashi.

After Shiraishi took the initiative to greet him, he responded immediately.

"Here, Kakashi, this is a gift to congratulate you on becoming a genin."

Shiraishi put a gift box in Kakashi's hand.

Kakashi took it solemnly and thanked Shiraishi.

After Shiraishi sat down, he said with great emotion: "Speaking of which, this is really amazing. Although you are only five years old, Kakashi, you have graduated from the ninja school and become an official genin. This is a breakthrough since the establishment of our Konoha Ninja School.

, the fastest record to become a genin."

Kakashi responded calmly: "Actually, it's okay. The main reason is that the graduation exam is not difficult at all."

This is his natural attitude. The difficulty of the graduation exam is nothing to him.

Although many people say that he is a genius and think that it is normal for him to have such achievements, they will always ignore his genius and the hard work and sweat he puts in behind him every day.

Those people will only evaluate others based on their own shallow concepts, and what they think is correct. They cannot see the efforts and sweat of others, so they can use the word "genius" to get rid of things.

Shiraishi knew that Kakashi was not being modest, but just stating his personal opinions.

That's right, I entered the ninja school at the age of four, and now I graduated from the ninja school at the age of five... I got first place in both theory and practical classes, so there is no possibility of fraud.

It is said that when Kakashi applied for graduation, even the Third Hokage was alarmed.

Konoha has another talented ninja.

The cradle of genius.

Many ninja villages call Konoha this way.

Shiraishi thinks there is nothing wrong with such a title.

"What about our gifts? Today's party is also prepared for Liuli and I to become Jonin."

"I know, I've already prepared it."

That's right, this gathering was not only to celebrate Kakashi's graduation from the ninja school and officially became a genin, but it was also specially prepared to celebrate Ruri and Ayane becoming jounin.

Shiraishi gave the gift box to Liuli and Ayane.

Only then did Liuli and Ayane become satisfied.

"Ruri and Ayane have both become jounin. It seems that our team is not far away from separating."

Sakumo sighed softly at this time, with a rather regretful tone.

He really wanted to maintain the original lineup of Sakumo's team, but Ruri and Ayane's identities were too special.

And the reason why the two of them joined his team was because of Uchiha and Hinata's intention. It was an experience.

Having become jounin, their training career in Sakumo's team will naturally come to an end.

With the current strength of the two of them, Sakumo no longer has the ability to guide them. Facing these two at the same time, he might also be defeated.

However, seeing the addition of two powerful new troops to the village, Sakumo's depression was swept away.

Be happy for the prosperity of Konoha.

Therefore, for Sakumo, this party is also an extremely important farewell ceremony.

Over there, Kakashi also handed over the gifts prepared by himself and Sakumo to Ruri and Ayane.

At this moment, Shiraishi took out the last gift box from the gift bag, put it in front of Sakumo and said with a smile: "So I prepared four gifts. Accept it, Mr. Sakumo."

Sakumo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and accepted the gift.

"Stay as careful as before. You will become a good man in the future. Then I will accept it without any hesitation."

Before Shiraishi spoke, Ayane smiled and said: "Of course, I am the most authoritative in this regard."

Liuli had a cold face and a terrifying murderous look in her eyes.

Ayane sat there gracefully and unconcerned, not affected by Liuli's murderous aura at all.

"It seems that you have forgotten who is on top."

"If you are often angry, your skin will age easily."

Anger instantly arose between the two.

Kakashi looked at the two murderous women and patted Shiraishi on the shoulder like a brat.

"The world of our seniors is really rich and colorful."

"Don't speak like an adult."

Shiraishi gave him a helpless look.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's still not cute at all. If this continues, I will lose popularity."

Kakashi has no opinion on this, his popularity is indeed average.

Apart from being familiar with the members of Sakumo's team, he didn't have many people with whom he could communicate.

Even in the ninja school, there are only a few people.

Most people stayed away from his 'genius'.

"Those things are not needed. My goal is to surpass my father."
