"Alright! Haruto, go in! Your father is waiting for you outside!"
Soon, Haruto and others arrived at a training ground in the school. Looking at the test site in front of them, Shinji gently pushed Haruto's back and encouraged him with a smile.
"Well! I'm leaving first!"
Haruto nodded and walked in immediately.
The assessment process is actually very simple. The first step is a physical fitness assessment, which is running.
The requirements are not high; 5 kilometers within the limited time is enough.
Then there is the optional talent assessment.
There are ninja tool throwing, chakra refining, and even ninjutsu.
Show it if you have it; you can get extra points.
There is no need to avoid these.
Haruto naturally passed these assessments easily and received full marks.
He also demonstrated ninja tool throwing and Chakra, and even the Three Body Technique and Great Fireball Technique.
Of course, its power was restrained.
After all, he was going to become Tsunade's apprentice.
He estimated that the Third Hokage must also be paying attention to the assessment here. Especially since he has recently become known as a genius, he must be the focus of the Third Hokage.
Naturally, he would not miss this good opportunity to show himself in front of the Third Hokage.
His guess was correct.
At this time, the Third Hokage in the Hokage's office was watching the entire process of Haruto's assessment through the Telescope Technique.
"This amount of chakra is already at the level of an ordinary Chūnin, right?"
"According to the intelligence I received, he definitely took no more than two months to extract Chakra;"
"To have such a large amount of chakra, it seems that his physical vitality is definitely not low, far exceeding that of other Uchiha!"
"No wonder he is so talented in medical ninjutsu. He was able to master Healing Jutsu in just one day!"
This is proof that Yang Release's talent is strong enough!
"Also, his mastery of both throwing techniques and ninjutsu is very strong, surpassing many Genin!"
"It seems that this little guy has a strong understanding!"
"This kind of genius must be used by me and controlled by me. Otherwise, I would rather destroy it than leave it to Uchiha!"
The Third Hokage said with appreciation and serious thought on his face.
...
Haruto quickly completed the assessment, said goodbye to Mikoto, then followed his father out of school and went home.
Apparently, today was not his school day yet, so he had to come over in the afternoon to get the test results.
Then, tomorrow he would go to school to attend formal classes based on the assessment results.
"How did you feel about the test?"
On the way back, Uchiha Shinji asked with a smile.
"What do you think?"
Haruto was speechless after hearing this and replied, "This kind of basic test is extremely simple. It would be strange if you didn't do well on it, right?"
"Haha! That's right! My son is a genius!"
"But don't be proud!"
Uchiha Shinji also laughed out loud after hearing this and reached out to ruffle Haruto's hair, messing up his hairstyle.
Haruto could only push his hand away speechlessly and straighten his hair.
"Hahaha!"
Uchiha Shinji looked even happier.
In the afternoon, Haruto came on time to receive the test transcript.
As expected, he was assigned to Class A, Grade 1.
"Huh? You're in Class A too? Looks like we'll be classmates from now on!"
"Hello! Let me introduce myself formally. My name is Namikaze Minato!"
"Thank you in the morning!"
At this time, the little yellow-haired boy next to him seemed to have caught a glimpse of the class division on Haruto's assessment form. He immediately smiled and greeted Haruto, and extended his hand.
He remembered the boy, who had given him a friendly smile during the running test in the morning and reminded him to pay attention to adjusting his breathing rhythm.
Minato naturally always remembered it.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been so rash as to take the initiative to greet the Uchiha people.
It's not that he is hostile to Uchiha; it's just that Uchiha has a bad reputation in the village and is known for being arrogant.
He often hears complaints from his neighbors.
"It's you!"
Haruto saw Minato come to say hello, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his hand, then replied: "My name is Uchiha Haruto, please take care of me in the future!"
This is Namikaze Minato! One of the main targets he needs to win over or even subdue in order to build the Uchiha interest alliance in the future.
No one really thought that he just casually reminded Minato during the running assessment, right?
Although this was the case given the circumstances at the time, it was obviously something Haruto did deliberately.
However, he also had to complain that from Minato's performance in the morning, Minato was indeed from an ordinary civilian background.
He doesn't even know the basic body-building methods or tips on adjusting his breathing while running.
This also gave Haruto the opportunity to contact and befriend Minato without deliberately trying.
"No, no! I should be the one saying this!"
Minato listened and replied with an embarrassed warm smile: "Compared to you, I'm still far behind!"
"Don't underestimate yourself!"
Haruto listened, smiled, and shook his head and said: "You just haven't been exposed to the knowledge and skills of cultivation before;"
"But you should have good talent, otherwise, during the running test in the morning;"
"I'm just giving you a little reminder. You won't be able to understand and adjust so easily!"
"It's even more impossible to get into Class A!"
"You know, this is the key class of our year!"
Class A in each grade is a key class.
"Yeah?"
Minato was slightly startled after hearing this, as if he was encouraged by Haruto's words, and said happily: "Then I'll borrow your good words!"
"Where!"
Haruto shook his head and invited, "Want to celebrate together? I'll treat you to a meal!"
"Will it be bad?"
Minato listened and hesitated slightly.
He wanted to say that he would treat them.
But he doesn't have the capital.
As an ordinary civilian whose parents had both passed away, it was already difficult for him to support himself with the small pension given by the village every month, and he did not have much spare money at all.
"What's wrong with that? We're friends, right?"
"You know, as the young master of the Uchiha family, I don't lack money at all, so don't be polite to me. Or, don't you want to?"
Haruto noticed Minato's embarrassment and immediately waved his hand casually.
"Okay! I'll let you spend the money then! I'll treat you back later!"
Seeing Haruto's frank and inaction attitude, Minato couldn't refuse anymore and agreed immediately.
"Haha! That's right! Let's go!"
Haruto saw it. Then he smiled and patted Minato's shoulder, took him to the commercial street for a walk, bought a lot of snacks, and ate along the way.
It was almost dusk when Haruto finally stuffed the remaining snacks into Minato's arms despite Minato's constant refusal, and waved goodbye to Minato.
"Minato! Take care! See you tomorrow!"
"Yeah! See you tomorrow!"
Seeing Haruto waving goodbye, Minato quickly waved back.
Then, Minato looked at Haruto's receding figure, then looked down at the several large bags of snacks in his arms, revealing a helpless and moved expression.
He thought to himself, "They say Uchiha is arrogant, looks down on others, and has a difficult personality;"
"Now it seems that this is not the case!"
"At least, Haruto-kun is not such a person!"
As a lower-class commoner whose parents died early, Minato, who is used to the fickleness of human nature, can roughly tell whether someone is sincere or not.
Therefore, Haruto's behavior moved him even more!
He didn't see any contempt or discrimination on Haruto's part..
