Upon hearing that Namikaze Minato was going to announce the test results.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Xianglin also immediately became nervous.
Especially Naruto, when he heard this sentence, he subconsciously looked at Sasuke.
There was not only a hint of worry in his eyes.
Obviously he didn't want Sasuke to be eliminated here, and he didn't want him to be sent back to the ninja school by Namikaze Minato.
But soon, he looked away from Sasuke and looked at Namikaze Minato.
However, although this action is very fast, it is very short.
But he still didn't escape Namikaze Minato's observation.
In his opinion, Naruto's behavior undoubtedly regarded Sasuke as his companion.
Sasuke, on the other hand, didn't care about not grabbing the bell.
Instead, he was resentful that his attack failed to cause him harm.
Because he originally wanted to prove his strength by defeating Namikaze Minato, so as to get the opportunity to enter the Anbu.
But in several battles with Namikaze Minato, he never gained any advantage.
"Since it's going to be announced, let's hurry up."
Seeing that Minato Namikaze remained silent again, Sasuke couldn't help but urge him.
It is not difficult to see that he is almost the most nervous one.
He neither got the bell nor proved his strength.
It gradually made him feel uneasy.
"Don't worry Sasuke."
Namikaze Minato smiled and explained: "Before announcing the results, I think it is necessary to let you know the true meaning of this test."
"That's..."
"Test whether you have a sense of teamwork."
As soon as Namikaze Minato finished speaking, Naruto and Sasuke were both stunned.
Because they had always felt that this test might have been specially arranged by Zefeng.
No one else is treated like this.
I want to see if they have the qualifications to directly become jounin or join ANBU.
After all, Konoha jounin and ANBU have always had no age limit.
For example, Kakashi became a Jonin at the age of eleven.
When Itachi was eleven years old, he joined ANBU.
And they are now older than Kakashi and Itachi at that time.
But who knew, the other party said that this test was to see if they had team awareness?
"Wait a moment."
Sasuke retorted without thinking, "Aren't there only two bells?"
"If it's to test team awareness, doesn't that mean one person will definitely be eliminated?"
"Not bad." Namikaze Minato did not deny, but nodded directly.
"That's the trap in this test."
"If there are three bells, then everyone will choose to cooperate to increase the chance of successfully grabbing the bell."
"but……"
"If there were only two bells instead of three."
"It will make people subconsciously regard the people around them as competitors instead of companions."
"So this test is to see how you will choose when facing this kind of pressure."
"The world of ninja has always been cruel."
"Almost everyone has some experience of loss."
"For example, when a companion is injured and the mission has to continue, whether to continue completing the mission or to save the life of the companion."
"Everyone needs to make a choice." Namikaze Minato said extremely seriously.
He has experienced too many similar things.
Moreover, in order to complete the tasks assigned to him by the Hokage, he missed several opportunities to save his subordinates.
Obito is.
So does Lin.
"And some ninjas often choose to abandon their companions in order to complete their missions."
"It even happens from time to time that you personally take the lives of your companions on the battlefield."
As he spoke, Namikaze Minato threw out a kunai cleanly.
It stabbed directly into the grass in front of Naruto.
"Naruto, if I tell you now, as long as you kill Sasuke, you and Kaoru can be promoted to genin of Konoha."
"what will you do?"
"Complete the mission, or give up?"
"I..." Naruto froze on the spot. He looked at the kunai on the ground and then at Sasuke next to him.
Of course, he knew very well that Namikaze Minato would not really let him kill Sasuke.
but……
His words were also a reminder to himself.
Just choose to become a ninja.
As long as you carry out the mission as a ninja.
Sooner or later, you will encounter such a dilemma.
Is it to complete the mission or to save the lives of companions?
"In the world of ninjas, there is only one rule, and that is mission first."
"No matter what happens, you can't give up the mission."
"And once anyone breaks this rule, this iron law, he will be regarded as a waste."
"Wait, wait a minute..." Sasuke frowned slightly.
"If according to what you said, since completing the task is the first criterion, then wouldn't it be acceptable to abandon your companions and snatch the bell alone?"
"No."
Sasuke shook his head, feeling that this was not accurate.
Because the first rule Minato Namikaze said is mission first.
But the bell test focuses on teamwork.
To some extent, these two things are completely opposite.
"Listen to me first, Sasuke."
Namikaze Minato didn't expect Sasuke to interrupt him suddenly. He waved his hand to ask Sasuke not to interrupt.
"Those who break the rules are indeed trash, but..."
"Those who don't know how to cherish their companions are worse than trash."
As soon as these words came out, Sasuke and Naruto immediately felt like they were given a slap in the face.
Especially Naruto.
Although he succeeded in getting the bell, he took advantage of the opportunity created by Xianglin.
He did not regard Xianglin as his companion.
He even regarded Sasuke as his rival at one point.
According to Namikaze Minato, he... is not a qualified ninja.
Because he understood that Sasuke was his first friend and his companion who had been with him day and night for six years.
But just now, I had forgotten all of this.
Own……
He could obviously persuade Sasuke to calm down and convince him to cooperate with him.
yes.
If he and Sasuke join forces.
No.
It should be the three of them working together.
"Rather than being persistent in completing the mission without sacrificing your companions, I hope you can understand the importance of your companions."
Namikaze Minato noticed the changes in the three people's expressions and understood that his words had touched their souls.
And this is the result he wants.
Especially after losing Obito, Lin, and other companions.
Especially after experiencing life and death.
He identified more and more with Kakashi's father.
but……
"So, my assessment of you is, you are unqualified."
After Namikaze Minato explained everything, he gave the answer without thinking.
The three of them are not qualified to become genin.
In an instant, Naruto was like a deflated rubber ball, slumped to the ground, his eyes widened even bigger than a cow's eyes.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"But, I am willing to give you another chance."
