Chapter 38

However, a Nara!

Thinking of this clan, he couldn't help but frown.

Because of the Uchiha Yoshio incident, he felt that Nara Shikaku was suspicious.

Now, during the squad assignments, he ran into another Nara.

Was this really a coincidence?

Or was it intentional?

What exactly did the Nara clan want?

His brain worked at high speed, but limited by a lack of intelligence, he couldn't figure anything out for the time being.

Secondly, Ishikawa Itsuki.

This guy was just a civilian ninja; there was nothing else to say about him.

According to Uchiha Jin's understanding, this guy only knew the basic Three Body Jutsu and had practiced a little bit of taijutsu.

Of course, he couldn't possibly know the Eight Inner Gates or anything similar, and he had no specialized taijutsu heritage.

To put it bluntly, it was all self-taught.

Just bigger muscles and more fights under his belt.

Other than that, nothing!

On the contrary, this guy had a bad temper; relying on being ranked third in the class, he looked down on everyone else.

"These teammates are going to be difficult!"

"A Nara whose background I don't know, plus a civilian ninja with nothing but muscles in his head."

"But, forget it."

"I'll take it one step at a time."

"If you really don't know what's good for you, then I'll just have to force you to 'sacrifice' yourselves."

About half an hour later.

After Sarutobi Daio finished reading the list, he left the classroom directly without any nonsense.

Shortly after, nine Chunin arrived and called out teams one through nine.

Clearly.

From the tenth squad onwards, they were true cannon fodder.

They had no team leader, no guidance; they had to rely on the basic Three Body Jutsu and hold kunai to risk their lives on the battlefield.

If they were lucky enough to survive, they might be able to trade their merits for some common ninjutsu in the village.

If they were unlucky, they would just be a name on the memorial stone.

As for the first nine squads, although they were assigned Chunin leaders, in reality, it was just for comfort.

There was no difference between a Chunin and a Genin.

A so-called Chunin during wartime is just a Genin who has survived one war.

Perhaps the guidance they were assigned probably knew less ninjutsu than an ordinary clan descendant.

The facts were indeed so.

In a small forest.

After their three-man Chunin guide brought them here, he turned around and spoke calmly.

"My name is Kudo Shin; besides the Three Body Jutsu, I know one C-rank ninjutsu, Earth Style: Earth Wall!"

"In the squad, I am mainly responsible for defense."

"It's your turn."

Following his words, Uchiha Jin's eyes lit up.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.

This Chunin before him actually knew an Earth Style jutsu.

Don't underestimate this one ninjutsu; this is the difference between a cannon fodder ninja and an ordinary ninja.

Judging by his surname, the other party was just an ordinary ninja.

But having the qualifications to obtain ninjutsu, and a C-rank one at that, proved that the other party had not only survived a war but had also made significant contributions.

Otherwise, the village would never have bestowed such a C-rank ninjutsu!

You must know that in small ninja villages, a ninja possessing a C-rank ninjutsu is already qualified to be a mid-level leader.

Possessing a B-rank ninjutsu makes one a core leader.

Don't look at the original Naruto story where B-rank ninjutsu are as common as dirt, A-rank ninjutsu are very average, and only S-rank forbidden jutsus are decent; it seems like you have to possess a Mangekyou, Sage Body, or Rinnegan to be considered an expert, and true powerhouses must be like Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara.

That is just nonsense!

Looking at the ninja world today, Shisui with his three-tomoe Sharingan has already earned the reputation of "Body Flicker Shisui."

Relying solely on one A-rank Lightning Style—Chidori, Hatake Kakashi became an elite Jonin.

Even Nohara Rin and the un-corrupted Uchiha Obito are currently elite Chunin of Konoha.

Are they very strong?

Nohara Rin only knows the Three Body Jutsu and a little basic medical ninjutsu.

And Uchiha Obito?

A guy considered a disgrace to the Uchiha clan, his Sharingan hasn't even opened a single tomoe, he uses the Three Body Jutsu clumsily, and he knows one or two family Fire Style ninjutsu.

But, then what?

Even so, he still got into Class A, is considered one of Konoha's most elite, and is now a student of Namikaze Minato.

And this is still the strongest village in the ninja world, Konoha!

What about other major ninja villages?

What about small ninja villages?

That goes without saying.

This is enough to show that Kudo Shin before them is indeed qualified to be proud.

"My name is Ishikawa Itsuki, I know the Three Body Jutsu and taijutsu." Ishikawa Itsuki said proudly: "I am in the top three of the class, considered the most excellent ninja."

"I believe that as long as I am given time, I will become the strongest ninja."

"I hope to be the leader of our squad!"

He looked arrogant.

As a civilian, he didn't understand this world at all.

Especially since he was in the top three of the class, he had an indescribable arrogance.

But he didn't know that his so-called top three.

Were things that clan ninjas didn't even bother to compete for; after all, it was just Class B, the cannon fodder class, not like Class A where geniuses gathered. What was the point of competing for these top spots?

Even if he got this ranking, he would be laughed at when he returned to his clan.

Otherwise, he would be in the top three?

Uchiha Jin felt disdain in his heart, but still spoke with a smile.

"My name is Uchiha Jin; besides the Three Body Jutsu, I also know a little family Fire Style."

"As for being the leader, I have no objections."

Nara Kazama yawned.

Seeing that everyone had spoken, he also spoke casually.

"My name is Nara Kazama; I know the Three Body Jutsu and a little family ninjutsu."

"As for being the leader, I have no objections either."

After hearing the three introductions, Kudo Shin was truly a little shocked.

He really didn't expect that there would be two clan ninjas in his squad.

He wasn't Ishikawa Itsuki; having truly stepped out of the school gates, he now understood the specific gap between clan ninjas and civilian ninjas.

However.

Hearing that both of them had no interest in being the leader, he was only slightly stunned before he couldn't be bothered to care about this matter anymore.

On the contrary, he looked at Ishikawa Itsuki with disdain.

So arrogant and conceited, and a civilian ninja to boot; these are the types who die the fastest on the battlefield.
