NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 29: 28
In the mansion of the Hyuga family.
After taking the exam, Hinata returned home with a tired face.
Seeing his daughter come back, Hiashi Hyuga, who was practicing jujitsu in his yard, just glanced indifferently and asked neither warmly nor coldly:
"Hinata, how was today's exam?"
In Hiashi Hyuga's view, no matter how bad his daughter is, she will definitely be able to enter the ninja academy.
Asking her is just a formality.
He doesn't want other servants to feel that this patriarch is too indifferent.
However, after hearing her father's question, Hinata's face was full of urgency, her expression was flustered, her whole face was extremely pale, and even a thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.
"Father..."
"I..."
Hiashi Hyuga frowned and said with some dissatisfaction:
"What is it? You're not going to tell me that you haven't even passed the entrance exam?"
Hinata nodded a little ashamedly.
"Yes... yes, Father... I'm really sorry!"
"??????"
What!?
Hiashi Hyuga was stunned on the spot as if hit by a bolt from the blue!
He was just joking casually, but he didn't expect it to be true!?
His own daughter, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, failed the ninja academy exam!?
What's the situation!?
...
At the same time.
Outside Konoha Village, in the mansion of the Uchiha family.
"Fugaku, if you bring so many people to the village today, will it cause dissatisfaction from the Third Hokage?"
Mikoto Uchiha stared at Fugaku Uchiha with a worried face.
Right now, the conflict between the Uchiha family and the village has become increasingly uncontrollable.
It seems like it's time to hit the trigger!
Fugaku Uchiha is so high-profile today, I'm afraid that it will arouse the Third Hokage's displeasure!
If he holds grudges in his heart and finds a way to frame their Uchiha family, it will not be worth the candle.
"Hmph, the benevolence of a woman!"
Fugaku Uchiha hummed and cursed.
"That old guy from the Third Hokage is a bullying master. It is because we have been swallowing our pride and giving in to them before that the family situation is getting worse day by day!"
"Today I did it on purpose for him to see!"
"I want to let the Third Hokage know that rabbits will bite when they are cornered!"
"There are so many young talents in Uchiha, as long as we have the heart, it will be easy to flatten Konoha!"
Fugaku Uchiha is emotional.
After all, he has been holding back this feeling for many years, and he doesn't want to hold it in anymore!
Now my eldest son has grown up, talented and intelligent, with strength close to Kage-level.
He will be the next to lead Uchiha!
The youngest son is about to enter the ninja academy and grow into a real ninja!
Not to mention there are so many kids of the same age!
When this power grows, their Uchiha clan will grow stronger!
By that time...
I don't know who will give whom the face!
Just when Fugaku Uchiha was full of hopeful imaginations about the future.
With a squeak, the door opened.
Sasuke walked in with a tired face.
"Sasuke, you're back..."
As soon as he wanted to greet him, Mikoto Uchiha immediately noticed that there was something wrong with Sasuke's face.
He looked sad and tired.
It was as if he had been severely scolded by someone!
"Sasuke, you, what's wrong with you?"
"Why do you look so haggard!?"
"Could it be... something went wrong with the entrance exam?"
Hearing Mikoto's words, Fugaku Uchiha's expression became tense, and he immediately went up to ask.
"What happened, Sasuke?"
"Did you not pass the exam?"
Sasuke slowly raised his head, with a dazed look on his face.
"I, I passed the exam..."
"Yes, but the others..."
"What happened to the others!?"
"They, they all failed!"
...
Hokage Building.
Third Hokage's Office.
While puffing on his old pipe, the Third Hokage flipped through the list of people who will take the entrance exam this time.
Looking at those very familiar surnames, his brows relaxed, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hyuga family, Uchiha family, Akimichi family, Nara family, Yamanaka family...
These families are the backbone of Konoha!
Their children will definitely become an important pillar of Konoha in the future!
Plus there's the addition of Nine Tails' Jinchūriki, Uchiha's kid...
The lineup can be said to be the strongest batch ever!
The Third Hokage is beyond expectation.
If these children can grow up smoothly, they can successfully accept the brainwashing of his Will of Fire.
Then Konoha will surely become a prosperous star and once again lead the Land of Fire to the top of the Five Great Nations!
Thinking here.
The Third Hokage stood up satisfied.
He leaned against the window, looking at the beautiful village, feeling very happy.
"Knock knock!"
A hasty knock on the door instantly pulled the Third Hokage back from his fantasy thoughts.
"Come in."
The Third Hokage said lightly.
An Anbu member wearing a mask cautiously opened the door and walked in.
"Lord Hokage."
Glancing at this person, the Third Hokage said with a smile.
"Are you here to report on the entrance exam?"
The visitor cupped his hands, looked up, and after hesitating for two seconds, replied: "Yes, yes..."
The Third Hokage nodded, walked slowly to the seat, and sat down.
"Well, did you pass the exam this time?"
From the Third Hokage's point of view, those children qualifying is a no-brainer.
After all, they are all children of elite families.
However, after hearing the Third Hokage's words, the Anbu member didn't respond immediately.
If someone took off his mask at this time, they would find this Anbu's facial expression quite embarrassed.
After a while, the Anbu member said slowly.
"Ahem, Lord Third Hokage, this, this exam, only... only three people have passed."
Hearing this.
The Third Hokage, who was still smiling, jumped up from the seat with a "crack"!
"You, what are you talking about!?"
"Only three qualified?"
"Are you kidding me!?"
The Third Hokage only felt that Anbu was fooling him.
In this entrance exam, we gathered the children from the strongest families in the whole village!
Even if some civilians are eliminated, it is impossible for only three children to pass the test, right?
The Anbu staff was frightened by the momentum of the Third Hokage and took several steps back, finally stabilizing their figure, and replied awkwardly.
"Lord Hokage, because of Naruto, only Neji Hyuga, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki are qualified for this round."
"The others were dismissed because they were not strong enough..."
Immediately afterwards, Anbu told all the details of the entrance exam.
After learning the truth.
The whole Third Hokage was dumbfounded.
He stared at his subordinates intently, unable to say a word!
What the hell!
Why is it Naruto again!
I finally sent you to the Ninja Academy, but you actually found trouble for me again!
Isn't it just an entrance exam? You push too hard!
Let you finish the roll like this, there will be no one in Konoha Village at all!
The Third Hokage sat slumped on the chair as if his body had been hollowed out, his eyes glazed over.
Really, he couldn't figure it out.
How could Naruto be so driven!
The most important thing is, you can do it yourself, why are you forcing others to do it too!
Don't forcefully raise the standards for others!
"Lord Hokage, now, what should we do now?"
Anbu was also a little apprehensive.
His daughter is also in the exam queue today!
She had already passed, but who knows, in the end, because Naruto forcibly changed the rules, she was banned abruptly!
It's outrageous!
Holding his forehead, the Third Hokage felt his head swell up.
Slowly sitting in his seat, after thinking for three full minutes, the Third Hokage responded with difficulty: "What else can I do? We can only notify each family and let them attend classes frequently!"
"Otherwise, our Konoha Village will be deserted!"
