**Chapter 76: I Also Want To Be Low-Key, But My Strength Doesn't Allow It!**

Sasuke stood in the corner, not even moving a muscle, just quietly watching Ebisu make his choice. Never would he have thought...

Standing in the corner, points fall from the sky! The jumping numbers before his eyes were completely beyond Sasuke's expectations.

*Must get Ebisu!* Sasuke's gaze towards Ebisu had subtly changed. This person, seen as snobbish in the eyes of others, was his lucky charm! This feeling was especially comfortable! Sasuke had a very strong feeling that as long as he secured this Ebisu, he wouldn't have to show off himself in the future, Ebisu could handle it for him!

...

After Ebisu said the last sentence, the Third Hokage's eyes widened, filled with incomprehension and disbelief.

*Why?* A huge question mark hung in the Third Hokage's mind! He knew Ebisu's personality very well, and he couldn't think of anyone who could make Ebisu more obsessed than Konohamaru!

"Ebisu, I didn't understand what you meant. Are you giving up the opportunity to teach Konohamaru?" The Third Hokage's voice carried a hint of sternness.

"No, no!" Ebisu immediately shook his head.

"Hmm?" The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes slightly, his mood easing a bit. It seemed that things still had a turn.

"Lord Third Hokage, I don't want to give up the opportunity to teach Konohamaru. Can I take a month off and teach Konohamaru after a month?" Ebisu grinned. He didn't want to miss either of these opportunities.

"Impossible!" The Third Hokage shook his head and said coldly, "If you go to teach Uchiha Sasuke, then another Jonin teacher will take over Konohamaru's studies!"

"That's really a pity!" Ebisu sighed helplessly.

"So, what is your final choice?" The Third Hokage frowned, he was confused by Ebisu.

"I choose Uchiha Sasuke!" Ebisu said very firmly.

+15

The numbers in front of Sasuke jumped again.

Once again, he achieved passive showing off.

Did nothing.

Just showed off.

He didn't even know how to describe this feeling!

The Third Hokage trembled slightly and couldn't help but take a step back, his whole being greatly shocked.

*Ungrateful!* *This unappreciative white-eyed wolf!*

*Our Sarutobi clan treats you like this, and you actually betray me at this time!*

*I trusted you so much and summoned you directly!* Waves of anger surged in the Third Hokage's heart, but his facial expression was restrained and didn't change much. He was like a volcano about to erupt, revealing a suppressed tranquility.

"Ebisu, give me a reason."

The Third Hokage's voice became extraordinarily deep. From the moment Ebisu said Sasuke's name, this person became a teacher on his blacklist.

He would never let Ebisu teach any child in Konoha again.

This month would be the end of Ebisu's teaching career!

This was not aimed at Sasuke.

It was the price Ebisu had to pay for giving up Konohamaru and not giving him face!

"Lord Third Hokage, as a teacher, if there is a chance to teach Uchiha's genius, who would give up this opportunity?"

Ebisu's expression was very serious. He was not a fool, but a smart person, very good at judging the situation. If it were anyone else, he would not give up Konohamaru.

But.

This was Uchiha Sasuke!

Ebisu was a believer in bloodline theory. He firmly believed that a ninja's achievements were directly related to their bloodline. In his mind, the top-ranked clan in terms of bloodline was the Uchiha clan!

Although the Sarutobi clan was powerful, the Third Hokage was already the limit of the Sarutobi bloodline. Even if Konohamaru could become Hokage in the future, he would only be a Hokage.

This wasn't Ebisu getting arrogant.

Being able to teach a Hokage was also very impressive!

Counting the Hokage mentors he knew, each one was extremely famous, and he also fantasized about being able to stand side by side with them one day.

But.

Yes, but again! Everything is relative!

Perhaps other clans couldn't even produce a Hokage, but for the Uchiha clan, the title of Hokage was no longer a limitation.

Ebisu had already begun to imagine, if in the future Uchiha Sasuke could be like Uchiha Madara in the past, almost invincible and dominating the ninja world, then what would it matter if he wasn't a Hokage mentor!

*I'll bet on it!*

Ebisu decided to make this big gamble, placing all his hopes on this Uchiha genius. He chose to believe that Sasuke's future would far surpass Konohamaru's!

Either nothing at all, or everything!

"I understand."

The Third Hokage took a deep breath, his gaze passing over Ebisu and landing on Sasuke in the corner. He said in a deep voice, "Sasuke, according to our agreement, I approve your application for early graduation. However, you still have to pass the graduation exam!"

"No problem." Sasuke nodded.

"The written test for early graduation needs to be completed within a specific time, and you must be fully assessed on all three basic jutsu. If you fail any one of them, you will not pass the exam!" The Third Hokage raised three fingers and said sternly, "The early graduation exam is three times more difficult than the normal graduation exam. Have you thought it through?"

"I have. I can take the exam now." Sasuke nodded again.

"Good, good, good." The Third Hokage said three "goods" in a row, then said to Ebisu in front of him, "Ebisu, go and get the three sets of written test papers for this year's graduation exam now. I want to personally invigilate Sasuke's graduation exam!"

"Yes!"

Ebisu clasped his hands together and disappeared in an instant. His heart was still filled with joy. Compared to the joy of being able to teach Sasuke, the regret of losing Konohamaru seemed insignificant.

After Ebisu left.

Only the Third Hokage and Sasuke were left in the office.

"Sasuke, I'm curious, you don't have much interaction with Ebisu, why are you so sure that he will choose to teach you?" The Third Hokage asked curiously. He had already gotten the answer of choosing Sasuke from Ebisu, but he still didn't know the reason why Sasuke chose Ebisu.

"Very simple, it's all personal charm." Sasuke said lightly.

+5

"You and Ebisu haven't even met a few times, and you believe in your personal charm so much?" The corner of the Third Hokage's mouth twitched. He felt that Sasuke was just perfunctory.

"No way!" Sasuke shook his head helplessly, a distressed expression on his face, and said in a very annoying way, "I also want to be low-key, but my strength doesn't allow it!"

+6

The numbers in front of Sasuke jumped again, continuing to show an increasing trend, which made him very satisfied.

Every time he showed off in front of the Third Hokage, it was very enjoyable!

"Lord Third Hokage, don't think too much about Ebisu. In the future, he will be grateful for the choice he made today!"

Sasuke didn't wait for the Third Hokage to speak
again, and took the lead in showing off. He wanted to continue this increasing momentum of showing off before the test papers arrived.
