At the Hokage's office, Hiruzen and other members of the Konoha Council saw reports from the academy.
This is a meeting held annually, to capture potential Anbu candidates from the academy.
Only high-achieving children had the chance to be scouted while still in the academy!
Most of Hokage's responsibility was to select candidates, but Homura and Koharu were present, to ensure that they could give their opinions to help Hiruzen with his duties.
Danzo is here for an unclear reason.
After all, they were looking at the report from the freshman class this year.
There are many children with ordinary grades.
So that's why when Sasuke's report came up, it caught everyone's attention.
Homura: "So this is Uchiha boy? He definitely didn't disappoint, even if Itachi was better..."
Koharu: "You shouldn't compare someone to Itachi, as he graduated the academy after only four months and joined Anbu when he was only eleven...he is an irregularity even in Konoha's long history. In any case, I think Sasuke certainly has potential, but I think we should observe him more before deciding, given the history of the Uchiha."
Danzo had a dark expression and said nothing.
Hiruzen thought of the promise he had given Itachi, to protect Sasuke no matter what, and made his decision.
"I wouldn't choose Sasuke Uchiha to join Anbu for now."
No one objected to the decision.
Next, they looked at Naruto's report.
He has by far the worst score.
"..."
"HAHAHA"
Everyone thought that it was best to keep their own opinions, only Hiruzen laughed out loud as he read about all the mischief Naruto had done in the academy.
Then came Eiji.
Its value is everywhere: Attitude class F, genjutsu C, taijutsu B, ninjutsu A, teamwork B, positivity F.
There are also those who note that, due to his injured hand, he is one of the rare cases of using a signature with just one hand.
Another thing was noted, how he was trained by Hayate Gekko before enrolling and his involvement with a delinquent.
"That's a pretty wild and chaotic profile." - Koharu
Homura: "Precording that his combat ability is quite high, but it seems like his personality is troublesome.if he grows up and matures, maybe he will become a candidate..."
Danzo remained silent and thought: 'This kid is too eccentric to be of no use to me.'
Hiruzen did not laugh at the reports of Eiji's bad behavior, instead, he seriously pondered.
"A. I won't choose him as a potential Anbu candidate."
In the end, he decided not to.
The meeting concluded with no one chosen to join Anbu right after graduation and to observe Sasuke so that he could join in the future.
Unfortunately, Konoha does not have a beach, so in the summer when the temperature is highest, people will go to the pool.
Although there are some crazy people, who will visit hot springs even in this heat.
To thank Eiji for saving her, Hatsumi invites her to the pool.
Because it was Sunday and too hot for any training, he did nothing and finally agreed.
Somehow Tenten hears her and demands to go with them; he states the reason, that he does not trust Hatsumi.
So now Eiji is in the pool with his cousin and Tenten.
"Hey Eiji, how's my rendition?"
"Hihihi, such a glue eater would care about such things..."
He regretted accepting.
'Today will be tiring. and the heat that burns my brain does not make it any better.wait somehow I sound like Shikamaru...'
Eiji did not want to dive straight into the pond, but unfortunately, the pond was quite full.
There were also many small children there, and Eiji hated small children (although he was also a child).
He left his sword at home, but now he wished he had brought it, so he could scare all the children.
The three decided to eat something first so that there would probably be fewer people in the pool later.
"Because I invited you to thank me, of course, I prepared something for you, here it is ..."
Hatsumi gives Eiji bento.
When he opened it, it was filled with glue.
"..."
He kicked Hatsumi directly in the pool.
Tenten saw what was on the bento and jumped up with an angry face as well.
He then started pouring water on Hatsumi's face.
Hatsumi retaliates and a water battle begins between the two.
'I wish I had a cold beer now ...'
Of course, Eiji was too young to buy beer, so he instead sat on the pool chair.
He began to think, how his first year in the academy was about to end.
'Time must have passed...I really should enjoy the rest of the time in the academy.Since after that the days of peace will end and great things will happen in this world where I can die at any time...'
