Naruto: The Defense-Breaking System – Putting Some Pressure on the Shinobi World

After school, Yamano wrote a report about Ebisu's situation and handed it to Group Leader Eyo.

"Team leader, Ebisu has grown rapidly in the Catfish Project. I think this is a good teaching model with a certain degree of innovation."

Huidai looked at the scroll and was very satisfied. She said, "You did a good job, Yamano."

That evening, Eyo arrived at the Sarutobi clan's territory with the Catfish Project report scroll.

He really wanted to talk to the higher-ups of the Sarutobi clan that the bet between Asuma and Uchiha Ryo wasn't a bad thing, and that by making good use of Uchiha Ryo, Asuma could also benefit from the Catfish Plan.

Unfortunately, he didn't see any of the Sarutobi clan's higher-ups all night; they were busy instructing Asuma on his training.

Young Master Asma is diligent; he trains every night until his shirt is soaked with sweat.

As he was about to leave, he saw the young master, Black Gorilla, appear in an instant.

"Young Master, I hope you will take a look at this 'Catfish Project' scroll. If all goes well, Asuma's progress will be tremendous. Uchiha Ryo is like the catfish in the class, keeping everyone on edge and making them more active."

"Oh? Let me see."

After watching it, the chimpanzee said, "Not bad, very good. I'm going to see my father and talk to him about Asma's training plan."

Eyo was overjoyed; he had once again come into the Hokage's sights.

"I will persuade my father to watch Asuma and Uchiha Ryo's final battle. My father should also pay attention to Asuma."

"Speaking of which, was Uchiha Ryo previously so quiet, overshadowed by Hatake Kakashi's brilliance? Why has his strength suddenly improved so much?"

Hui Dai replied, "After all, they are from the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Rin's parents were both Jonin, so their genes are quite good."

The black gorilla nodded. Giving the Uchiha clan a chance would allow them to activate their three-tomoe powers under intense emotional stimulation. No wonder Danzo, Yan, and others were wary of the Uchiha clan.

He left his clan's territory and headed to the Hokage Building.

It's midnight now, and my father must still be working in the Hokage Building.

Entering the Hokage's office, one is greeted by a thick cloud of smoke. The bag of tobacco the Third Hokage took away that morning certainly wasn't enough. One wonders how many times his assistant went to fetch more tobacco today.

The mother said she would try to control the father's smoking, but with the new Ninja World War underway, it was impossible to control him.

To the left of the desk was a pyramid-shaped stack of scrolls, a meter high, and to the right were five thick stacks of documents.

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned amidst the piles of documents, smoking as he stared thoughtfully at a scroll.

During work hours, referring to one's position, the black gorilla said, "Lord Hokage, I have something to report to you."

"explain."

"Five days later is the final exam of the Ninja Academy. Asuma lost to his classmate Uchiha Ryo, and he has a final bet with Uchiha Ryo."

Hokage, why don't you go to the Ninja Academy tomorrow to observe the final sparring exams?

I think Asmata…

"Black Gorilla." Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted the black gorilla, saying:

"Iwagakure and Kirigakure have declared war on Konoha, and Kumogakure is hesitating whether to attack Iwagakure first or our Konoha first."

At a time like this, am I supposed to go to the ninja academy to watch two kids fight?

I remember you said last time that Uchiha Rin was an orphan. What can I do if Asuma loses? Am I supposed to put pressure on an orphan as Hokage?

The gorilla quickly said, "Of course not to go to the ninja academy in Asuma's name."

I mean, with the start of the Ninja World War, the Ninja Academy submitted a list of students who were graduating early from their senior years.

Instead, we should observe the strength of those genin who graduated early.

By the way, if possible, let's also check out Asma's hard work this semester.

Hiruzen Sarutobi relaxed a bit. The black gorilla's reminder was correct; a group of students would graduate early after this semester.

This matter is of great importance; I almost forgot about it.

He took the scroll handed to him by the chimpanzee and saw that it contained a summary of classroom management experience written by a teacher, with the theme of using the catfish effect to improve the average ability of students in the class.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched with great interest; this was indeed a good method.

"Alright, I'll go check on the Ninja Academy's final exams in five days, especially focusing on the performance of the students who are graduating early. The assessment for early graduation should be even more rigorous; we can't let those kids suffer."

The original intention of Konoha was to prevent children from going to war, but unfortunately, the pressure from enemy villages was too great, forcing them to force their children to grow up too fast.

After closing the scroll, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and said:

"Sakumo Hatake committed suicide on the eve of the Fourth Shinobi World War, which resulted in Konoha losing a battlefield commander and a Kage-level ninja. The impact was enormous."

Mitokado Homura even suggested sending the Uchiha clan to the battlefield...

The mention of Konoha's White Fang also evoked a sense of melancholy in Black Gorilla.

How could anyone be so stubborn?

Too fragile.

Konoha's White Fang possesses Kage-level strength, yet his mentality is so pathetic.

When the chimpanzee returned to his territory, he saw Asma still training, doing handstand push-ups and strengthening his arm muscles.

Within the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Ryo did not let his guard down.

After undergoing an excessive recovery, his strength increased significantly.

This kind of improvement is sudden, a sudden increase in strength, and I'm still not used to it. Sometimes I'm prone to making rash decisions.

Before the final exams, you must get used to the new energy as soon as possible.

For several days in a row, no one challenged Uchiha Rin during sparring sessions, which greatly diminished the enthusiasm of the others for sparring.

Teacher Yamano did not force the students to practice freely, allowing them to prepare for their final practice exams.

Many people surrounded Sarutobi Asuma.

Obito Uchiha couldn't hide his excitement: "Asuma, your special training was very effective, wasn't it? Last time you sparred with Guy, Guy struggled so much."

This time, we must severely suppress Uchiha Ryo's arrogance; I hate his face so much!

Ebisu hesitated, not daring to say anything more.

Nara Saku breathed a sigh of relief. Uchiha Rin had been behaving himself these past few days, so he didn't need to actively try to attract Uchiha Rin's attention this semester.

Kurenai Yuhi also stared at Ryo Uchiha, thinking to herself that if she had more chakra, she could learn genjutsu from her father. Her taijutsu was too weak, and she was not qualified to spar with Ryo Uchiha.

Sarutobi Asuma was full of confidence. He had experienced the supercompensation that Eriyo-sensei had mentioned about breaking through the plateau, and he was no longer the same person he used to be.

A few days passed quickly.

On the day of the final exam, the students first saw the Third Hokage enter the school with the Anbu, and then go up to the fourth-floor rooftop accompanied by the principal.

The playground was divided into individual examination rooms, and all the students could see the Third Hokage's straw hat and divine robe when they looked up.

The Third Hokage actually came to observe this semester's final sparring session in person!

Not to mention the students, even the teachers were so nervous they couldn't speak.

Shan Ye frowned as he stood there: "Stand in two or three rows!"

"Teacher, two rows or three rows?"

"yes!"

Sarutobi Asuma looked at his father on the rooftop and his older brother, who was wearing a chimpanzee mask, beside his father, and felt extremely excited.

Uchiha Ryo! My father is here, I'm going to make you pay!
