Invert negative attributes from Naruto

As expected, Watanabe's craftsmanship did not disappoint Jiraiya and the others, and the three of them had a hearty meal at Watanabe's house.

"It's a pity that we are not adults yet, otherwise we would be more happy if we had some wine." Jiraiya smacked his lips and sighed.

Watanabe was surprised when he heard this, and felt that he had unexpectedly followed the rules.

"You can drink if you want, no one cares about us anyway." He and Jiraiya were both orphans, free and unrestrained.

Jiraiya shook his head vigorously and said seriously: "No, underage drinking will affect the development of the lower body... Well, Watanabe, you are an exception, you are already fully developed."

Watanabe was speechless: "..."

"Once I graduate today, it will no longer be possible to attend classes in the same classroom every day as before. From now on, we will see each other less often." Jiraiya confided in his heart and began to say some emotional words.

"Don't look at me, Jiraiya, laughing and joking every day. In fact, the only people who can truly be considered friends are Orochimaru, Beruhu, and Watanabe. If Tsunade doesn't hit me, you can barely be considered one."

Beilihu and Orochimaru were deeply touched. Jiraiya regarded them as friends, so why didn't they?

After all, there is a status gap between them and the children of the ninja family in the class, and they can't really talk to each other. They can feel it themselves.

"If you encounter any trouble in the future, please let me know and I will try my best to help you." Beiliuhu was silent for a moment and then suddenly said.

Orochimaru nodded.

Jiraiya laughed loudly and slapped Beiru on the shoulder: "Aren't you taking advantage by saying this? Watanabe and Orochimaru, one graduated first and the other ranked second, their future prospects will definitely be better than the two of us."

When his little thought was exposed, Beiliuhu suddenly turned red and hesitated: "I, I didn't mean that!"

Orochimaru's expression gradually became weird.

Watanabe burst into laughter, feeling that the three people at the same table each had their own cuteness.

The graduation exam of the Ninja School is like the imperial examination in ancient China. After graduation, you will first work at the grassroots level to hone your skills for a few years, and then work steadily and gradually to get promoted. The ultimate goal is to join the core management of Konoha. This is also the only opportunity for civilians to jump to the dragon gate.

The better the graduation results, the better the resources, benefits and promotion speed will be after graduation. As Jiraiya said, with the results of Watanabe and Orochimaru, their future prospects are indeed very good.

…

The four of them chatted until late at night before parting ways, making an appointment to have dinner at Watanabe's house next time.

Before falling asleep, Watanabe felt very strange. He didn't expect that he could become friends with Jiraiya, Beiru, and Orochimaru in the last few days of graduation. He finally didn't have no relatives in Konoha except Tsunade.

The next morning, Watanabe was woken up by the alarm clock on time.

The graduation exam was over, and the Ninja School only reported at noon. With nothing to do, Watanabe lay on the bed and practiced ninjutsu.

At around eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door outside, and Watanabe Ma slipped out of bed.

"Mito-senpai, why are you here?"

Looking at the familiar girl in white robe outside the door, Watanabe was surprised.

"Is it convenient for me to come in and sit down?" Mito asked politely.

"Of course it's convenient, please come in."

Watanabe acted as if he were facing his mother-in-law, fearing that the reception would not be adequate, so he ran to the kitchen to boil water for tea.

Mito looked around calmly and saw that the house was neat and tidy, with no trace of sloppiness or mess. His good impression of Watanabe became even more positive.

He is a careful boy.

"Mito-senpai, have a cup of tea."

Soon, Watanabe brought the prepared tea to Mito.

Mito smiled lightly and said: "Don't be so formal, just treat me as your ordinary elder."

Watanabe took it for granted: "Mito-senpai is an elder in my eyes."

Mito was slightly startled, feeling that there was something strange about Watanabe's words. Was he already determined to be with Tsunade?

After taking a few sips of tea, Mito directly stated his intention: "I'm looking for you this time because I want to tell you something. Hiruzen has decided on the candidate to be his disciple."

"Among those candidates, you are not included."

Watanabe raised his eyebrows, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Can I ask who he accepted?" Watanabe's smile was bitter.

Mito didn't hide anything: "Orochimaru, Jiraiya."

"It's the two of them..."

Watanabe was not surprised at this moment. Even he who was ranked first could not be selected. It was not surprising that Hiruzen accepted a Jiraiya who was in the middle or upper grades as his disciple.

"Do you know why Hiruzen didn't consider you?" Mito asked him.

Watanabe nodded: "I can probably guess a little bit."

Mito was a little surprised. She thought Watanabe would ask questions, but she didn't expect him to be able to answer.

"Tell me about it."

"The third generation should want to check and balance Tsunade, try to prevent her from being too outstanding, and also support several candidates who can compete with Tsunade as the fourth Hokage."

Mito was silent after hearing this, and the air around her became solemn as she remained silent.

Watanabe didn't care anymore. It was Mito who asked him to express his opinion anyway, so he just had to speak frankly and boldly.

"Why do you think Hiruzen has such thoughts?" Mito asked.

Watanabe: "Because apart from that, I really can't think of any reason why the Third Generation wouldn't accept me. In terms of strength and qualifications, I'm stronger than Orochimaru and Jiraiya."

Mito retorted: "But have you ever thought about it, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are both civilians. If Hiruzen wants to support Tsunade as a competitor, he should accept Hyuga Rei or other ninja children."

Watanabe shook his head: "The children of the Ninja clan will have the thoughts of their family's senior leaders and will not completely obey the wishes of the third generation. Of course, the third generation wants to listen to his disciples."

Mito was silent again. After a long time, he took a deep breath and sighed: "I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to think of this step."

After these few conversations, Mito refreshed his understanding of Watanabe. Not only was this child outstanding in strength, he was also extremely intelligent and precocious, and his perspective on problems was even more thorough than that of most adults.

"Mito-senpai thinks so too?" Watanabe asked tentatively.

"Um."

Mito did not shy away and admitted it.

"I watched Hiruzen grow up. When Tobirama accepted him as his disciple, he was about the same age as you are now."

"The contribution Hiruzen has made to Konoha cannot even be compared to mine. I must admit that he is a very competent Hokage, even more competent than Hashirama and Tobirama. But no one is perfect, and he also has shortcomings."

"His shortcoming is his greed for power. He has been in the position of Hokage for more than ten years, longer than Hashirama and Tobirama combined. In recent years, many outstanding talents have appeared in Konoha, but they have been suppressed by Hiruzen in secret.

He still has no intention of abdicating his position and making way for someone more worthy."

Mito did not treat Watanabe as an outsider and told him about the unknown dark side of Konoha's top management. This was also the main purpose of her coming to see Watanabe today.

Watanabe listened very carefully, knowing that Mito could say these words to him, and he already recognized him as his grandson-in-law.
