Naruto: Son of the Earthshaker

The ninja schools of this period are different from those in the later works.

In the original anime, grades are generally divided according to age.

But during this period, the system was not yet perfect and even if it was it wouldn't matter.

There was no such thing as grades in ninja schools, so things like Kakashi Hatake graduated at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six didn't matter right now.

In practical ranking assessments like this, as long as you could be used you were practically thrown in the battlefield.

However, the children who have just joined the Ninja School for less than a year have basically given up participating in this practical ranking assessment.

After all, geniuses like Hatake Kakashi are a minority, and most people still have to study and practice step by step for several years.

But even so, the total number of participants in the actual combat ranking assessment is very large.

In the later period of the Fourth Ninja World War, the total number of participating United Ninja Forces reached 80,000. If there were not enough students in the Ninja School, where would such a large number come from? [T/L: Was it that much? Can someone confirm]

Due to the large number of participants.

Therefore, the actual ranking assessment uses five venues at the same time.

First, all students draw lots and fold them. After the battle, the winners and losers will be determined. Then the winners will fight against the winners, and the losers will fight against the losers.

By continuously folding the lots and drawing them in this way, an overall ranking can be determined in the end.

At the beginning, four sub-venues will be used. After several cycles, the best among them can enter the fifth main venue for the next competition.

And in the main venue, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen will even be in charge personally!

It can be seen how much importance Sarutobi Hiruzen attached to the training of ninjas during this period.

The opening ceremony of the actual combat ranking assessment was naturally hosted and unveiled by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.

Under the respectful gaze of a group of ninjas, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing the Hokage's divine robe, walked onto the stage leisurely.

The moment they saw Sarutobi Hiruzen come on stage, all the students cheered.

The atmosphere was extremely warm for a while.

In Konoha, the Hokage is undoubtedly the highest-ranking and most respected person.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was not tall, not a single look of contempt appeared in all the glances towards him; almost all of them were full of respect!

Just because he is the Third Hokage and the strongest ninja in Konoha!

Looking at the children in the ninja school in front of him, with their expressions of admiration, awe and excitement, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had a warm smile on his face.

He waved his hand and the whole place fell silent instantly.

"What Konoha inherited is the will of fire."

"The future of the village is in your hands!"

"The will of fire will be inherited by you, the new green leaves, so children, work hard! For the prosperity of the village, for the inheritance of the will of fire!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's few simple words raised the atmosphere of the entire venue to a new climax.

In the crowd, almost all the students, including Minato Namikaze, were excited.

Ishigami also stood in the crowd, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a little emotion as he spoke so generously.

Naruto!

The children in this world, including Minato Namikaze, are all targeting Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If Ishigami was not a time traveler who was familiar with the plot, perhaps he would simply be inspired by Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and aim to become Hokage.

But in Ishigami's heart, although the Hokage is far away, there is an even more distant existence above him.

Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Madara... Kaguya Ohtoiri!

Those are the deepest hidden goals in Ishigami's heart.

Of course, that's too far away.

Ishigami clenched his fists, with a hint of firmness and determination in his eyes.

No matter how far or difficult it is, he will never give up.

If you want to seize your dreams, you need to firmly grasp the present!

…

After the impassioned speech of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen,

The actual combat ranking assessment begins now.

The students were taken to four separate venues.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and others went to the home court early, waiting for the winner of the sub-field.

The battle in separate arenas was certainly not worthy of Sarutobi Hiruzen's personal attention.

Only the winners who can reach the home court are the elites valued by Sarutobi Hiruzen and the pillars of the new generation of Konoha.

Ishigami was assigned to the third sub-venue.

Kushina and Ishigami happened to be in the same venue, but she didn't care about her own assessment. She only cared about whether Ishigami could get good results.

She was much more nervous than Ishigami.

Looking at Ishigami silently, she was cheering for him in her heart.

"We must win."

…

The third sub-field.

It was called a division field, but it was actually just a relatively open playground with two examiners and four Anbu controlling the situation.

The first opponent assigned to Ishigami was a student in the same class.

When that person saw that the person drawn by lot was Ishigami, he immediately looked sad.

If you were to ask who are the opponents you least want to meet, there is no doubt that one is Minato Namikaze and the other is Chihan.

It's despairing that Minato Namikaze ranks number one time and time again.

And Ishigami showed his terrifying strength in the battle with Uchiha Izumi, which made countless students afraid of him.

"I…I give up!!"

The student who was fighting against Ishigami originally wanted to try to fight, but when he saw Ishigami clenched his fists and revealed a slightly dim but terrifying white light, he shrank his neck and surrendered directly.

It's chilling to think of Uchiha Izumi being beaten all over by Ishigami's punch.

The examiner was also slightly surprised, then shook his head helplessly and announced that Ishigami won the first game.

Ishigami himself did not expect that his opponent would surrender without even fighting, but it was normal to think about it. After all, this was a ninja school and the people here were just children.

There are very few people like him and Minato Namikaze who have the mind of an adult.

In the first few battles, the opponents almost always surrendered directly, or Ishigami resolved the battle with one move.

There is no need to unleash too much power, it is almost like a sweeping crush.

This also caused a burst of surprise.

"Too strong."

"Yes, after awakening his bloodline limit, Ishigami's strength has completely reversed."

Many students who once looked down on Ishigami now had expressions of great envy.

They also hope to awaken a bloodline limit and have the strength like Ishigami.

But it is not so easy to obtain bloodline limit.

They could only watch helplessly.

Even the examiners and several Anbu here showed surprise at the power displayed by Ishigami, with a hint of praise.

Kushina's beautiful eyes were twinkling as she watched this scene with great excitement and happiness.

Either the opponent surrenders or he is killed instantly, and soon Ishigami is entering the fourth game.

Still no surprises.

Although the opponent in the fourth match was slightly stronger, he was still inferior to Uchiha Izumi and was no match for Ishigami at all.

A moment later, the examiner's voice of praise spread throughout the audience.

" Ishigami wins the fourth game!"

The moment this word spread.

The whole audience was silent.

Then, the entire third field erupted in an earth-shaking uproar.

"Very good!"

Kushina couldn't help but jump up and cheer with joy on her face.

Because, if you win four games in a row, you will be the winner!

You've also gained the qualification to enter the home court!

Ishigami won it easily.

All the children in the third division looked at Ishigami in the field with expressions of great envy.
