Despite the tense atmosphere, the graduation exams finally arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya, however, remained the same as always.

After all, Takuya Yagami never followed the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Uchiha Mikoto to go along with it too-this was making his head spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What were they thinking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do they realize what kind of dangers they'll face without a guiding sensei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand what you two are thinking, and I'll report this to Lord Hokage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I hope you both seriously consider this, and don't make the wrong decision because of some early romance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most students were forced to form their own squads out of necessity. But Takuya and Mikoto? They were volunteering for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really shocked the teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting aside everything else, he hurriedly sent them off and rushed to the Hokage's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think Lord Hokage will approve?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the ninja academy, Mikoto couldn't help but worry about the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, maybe he will, maybe he won't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But he'll definitely be surprised.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takuya couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of the Third Hokage's reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sensei, just leave things like this to Orochimaru and Tsunade. I'm used to being lazy, and I still need to gather material for my writing. I don't have time to mentor students.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new graduates had all finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya had rushed to the Hokage's office to complain. He didn't want to be a jonin sensei-it would seriously interfere with his research and writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya also felt that he wasn't cut out to be a teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsunade has already been assigned.

Were the graduation exams unsuccessful?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Hokage and head of the ninja academy, the Third Hokage paid close attention to the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>school's teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If any of these teachers had important matters, they didn't need to schedule an appointment;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they could come directly to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed just how much the Third Hokage valued the ninja academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Onoyama looked dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya watched curiously, thinking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this guy get bullied by his students?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Hokage, among the graduates this year, the top student, Takuya Yagami, and the second-place student, Uchiha Mikoto, have requested to form their own squad.

That name sounded familiar. Where had he heard it before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough! Cough! Cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like he was choking on something, the Third Hokage's wrinkled old face turned red as he slammed his desk and shouted, \"Ridiculous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top two students refusing the village's arrangement to form their own squad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this got out, it would be a laughingstock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was practically a slap in the face to him, Hiruzen Sarutobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can go for now.

The last thing he wanted was to\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>be involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll take Minato under my wing; he's a good kid. But when it comes to those connected to the Uchiha, old man, you better handle that yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Takuya Yagami-that name sounds really familiar.
