The second day.
The entire Wood Leaf village was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.
The news of the outbreak of the Second Shinobi World War had already spread throughout Konoha at the dawn of the day.
In the village, from time to time, there were different numbers of ninjas rushing to the battlefield.
Outside the Ninja School.
The originally leisurely holiday was forced to stop because of the war, and hundreds of students of different grades were gathered here.
A Konoha Ninja wearing a combat uniform looked at the children in front of him with a dignified expression and said in a deep voice, "From now on, all of you have become real ninjas, and you will be sent to participate in the Second Shinobi World War at any time!"
He didn't say much, just waved his hand, and the staff around him walked to the team and handed the Wood Leaf headband that represented the identity of a ninja to everyone.
Most of these children had a look of resistance.
In the past, many of them wanted to become a ninja, but this sudden war, although their wish was realized in advance, it also gave them a great panic.
Although ninjas are born to fight, the enemies they have to face this time are not ordinary Samurai bandits, but the ninjas of the major ninja villages.
This year's freshmen have been in school for less than ten months, but even so, they have to bear the responsibility of war.
This is the time of war, whether it is a well-trained ninja or a naive ninja school freshman, they have to bear their responsibilities.
Although the difficulty and risk of the latter is far less than the former, and they basically won't be close to the battlefield.
But the situation of war is changing rapidly, if a battle is lost, and the village is short of manpower, it is not impossible for them to be sent to the battlefield.
Even if they know that they are going to die, it is worth it to delay the time.
And they are the cannon fodder in the war …
The Wood Leaf headband seemed to have a heavy weight in everyone's hands at this time.
The atmosphere was oppressive, and the air seemed to be solidified.
In this kind of situation where everyone's heavy breathing could be clearly heard, a yellow-haired boy who just took the forehead protector from the Chunin smiled and said, "Thank you!"
The boy's indifference also surprised the Chunin who gave him the headband. He looked at Watergate in front of him with a slightly stunned expression.
Since he heard the news of the Second Shinobi World War, no one around him smiled.
The boy in front of him really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?
Watergate's action also attracted the attention of many students around him, including his classmates Takeno Nei and Chi Ban Yu.
Although they know that Watergate is much stronger than them, at this time, he can still maintain his usual calmness.
Watergate seems to be the same age as them, is he really just a kid?
Feeling the gazes around him, Watergate didn't feel embarrassed, instead, he returned a gentle smile to the crowd again.
This caused them to be a little stunned. At the same time, they pondered in their hearts.
Why can he still smile?
"Humph!"
Among them was Uchiha Yan, even he has a fear of war in his heart. Although he tried not to show it, for a child less than ten years old, he still can't smile at this moment like Watergate.
It's just that Watergate has experienced two Shinobi World Wars, even if he is asked to fight on the battlefield now, he won't feel any discomfort, not to mention now it's just a graduation ceremony.
However, in his heart, he is still competing with Watergate, he doesn't want to lose to him in anything.
"Continue to distribute the headband." The Chunin who was in charge of the graduation ceremony raised his eyebrows, looked at Watergate, and then said.
Then, several Chunin continued to distribute the headband, and finally, it was distributed to every ninja.
"Put on your headband, now I will assign you a task." The Chunin glanced at everyone.
"Wait."
Just when everyone was about to put on Wood Leaf's headband with different emotions and expressions, a hurried voice broke the atmosphere again.
Watergate was startled, and then suddenly turned around.
Shinna Kushina quickly rushed over, and then came in front of the Wood Leaf Chunin, spread out her palm, and said, "Give me my headband."
This sudden turn of events caused everyone to be stunned. Even Shui Men was a little surprised.
After all, when the Shinobi World War breaks out, the Jinchuriki of all countries will be tightly protected, and they have extraordinary strategic significance.
So, he wasn't surprised that Shinna Kushina didn't come to the graduation ceremony today.
But she suddenly came again, and around her, the dozen or so Dark Squad members were still following her.
This also shows that this is the decision made by Sandaime Naruto.
"All the headbands have been distributed, and you don't have one."
The Chunin said, he just came to perform the task issued by Naruto, and he naturally didn't know Shinna Kushina.
Shinna Kushina looked angry, and then pointed to the short students in the front row and said, "Why can even the freshmen graduate, but I can't, my peers are standing there."
Even if she didn't look, she was very keen to catch Watergate and the others' Chakra, and pointed to the place where everyone was standing.
"But the headband is …" The Chunin was also helpless.
At this time, Watergate rushed out of the crowd, and then handed the Wood Leaf headband that had just been issued to him to Shinna Kushina.
"Happy graduation." Watergate smiled.
"Well, thank you." Shinna Kushina nodded, but she raised her eyes and looked at Watergate, and asked, "What about you?"
"Kid, do you think headbands can be given to people casually?" The Chunin said loudly.
"It's not like that, but I already have one." Watergate smiled, and then took out a Wood Leaf headband from his pocket.
This is naturally the one given to him by Sandaime Naruto more than half a year ago.
"This …" The Chunin was stunned, and then beside the three of them, a figure with a short sword on his back flashed.
It's Sho Sho.
He pulled the Chunin aside and whispered a few words in his ear.
"You two, go back to the team."
After that, the Chunin said, Shinna Kushina and Watergate nodded, and then went back.
Then he looked at the crowd, his eyes sank, and said in a serious voice, "This is your graduation ceremony, there is no assessment, no flowers, and no encouragement, because what you will face next is the war of the entire ninja world!"
Hundreds of students subconsciously choked, and Shinna Kushina couldn't help but frown.
But at this time, Watergate, who was next to her, reached out and grabbed her hand, and said, "Don't worry, we will win this war, and all of us will survive!"
Shinna Kushina looked at Watergate's eyes, and an incomparable feeling of relief spread in her chest, soothing all her uneasiness.
"Absolutely!" Shinna Kushina's eyes rippled, and said firmly.
