JST Chapter 5: The Final Exam Unfolds
🕑 Added 2024-08-07 14:14:11 +0000 UTC"This guy..." Shisui looked at Might Guy's departing back and narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction. "What does he mean? Working together and becoming excellent ninjas? Is he making fun of you, brother, for not graduating yet?"
Kazuki smiled slightly, tapped Shisui on the forehead, and seeing his younger brother in pain, said slowly: "Don't be so sensitive, Might Guy is just worried about me."
"After all, I am indeed an Uchiha who can't graduate at the age of eleven, but I am not a genius like you, Shisui."
In this era where the cloud of war has yet to dissipate, the ninja school's graduation system is extremely flexible.
As long as the confidence and ability meet the standards, anyone can apply for early graduation.
So far, the youngest graduation age is maintained by Kakashi. He entered the school at the age of five, graduated at the age of six, and became a Chunin at the age of seven.
Hatake Kakashi is now a well-deserved star in Konoha, a celebrity.
"Don't joke, brother..." Shisui shook his head, somewhat embarrassed. "Compared to you, what kind of genius am I?"
"As long as you stop hiding your strength, it is not impossible to be promoted to a jonin..."
Kazuki laughed and didn't respond.
Although he was ready to show his strength, he had no intention of being promoted to a jonin, and he didn't even want to graduate...
Today, Kazuki was planning to take the opportunity of the exam to bind Uchiha Obito and Might Guy.
Until those two precious leeks graduate, Kazuki will remain at the academy to extract as much value as possible…
While talking, Kazuki and Shisui arrived at the academy, then went to the large training ground.
Kazuki looked around and gave a slight smile. “Looks like luck is on my side…”
He didn't know why Kakashi was among the group of examiners, reading a book without paying attention to his surroundings.
"Hey! Arrogant Kakashi, have you seen me? Stop acting cool back there!"
Just as Kazuki had spotted Kakashi, Uchiha Obito suddenly jumped up and shouted, attracting the attention of everyone in the place. He pointed at Kakashi and exclaimed: "Today I'm going to prove to you, Kakashi, that I'm the real genius!"
"How boring..." Kakashi just glanced at Obito before turning his attention back to the book in his hands.
Kazuki watched this scene and nodded slightly. As he had imagined, Kakashi wasn't really interested in Obito at the moment.
A genius with his eyes up high wouldn't be influenced by a hot-blooded idiot in less than a year, even if he was lonely.
"Will the confused young genius wait until Hatake Sakumo dies before he will actively seek companions in loneliness..." Kazuki seemed to have found the point of origin of the bond between Kakashi and Obito.
"Obito, don't bother Kakashi... It seems he will be our final examiner..." Nohara Rin, with a somewhat awkward expression, took Obito and pushed him aside, saying in a low voice.
"Kakashi, my destined opponent!" After Obito, Might Guy made a brilliant appearance, shouting to Kakashi with a higher voice and more exaggerated posture: "I will apply for graduation this year, Kakashi, let's fight it out!"
Kakashi raised his head again, squinted his eyes, looked at Might Guy's muscles that had begun to take shape, and nodded gently.
"Hey, hey! Kakashi, why do you just nod at this taijutsu monster? What does that mean?!" Seeing this, Obito shouted again.
Nohara Rin stood behind Obito with a helpless look on her face and sighed.
For a moment, the scene became chaotic, and the sound of discussion was endless.
"Hey, that's Hatake Kakashi, right? Why is he here..."
"I don't know, but he's wearing examiner's clothes, could it be that he's back to be a teacher?"
Seeing the commotion, Asuma, who was standing next to Kurenai, first sighed and then commented with disdain and a somewhat cynical attitude:
"Kakashi's return must be deliberately arranged by the old man. He just wants his current achievements to inspire others. It's really a boring and superficial trick..."
After saying that, Asuma also glanced at Kurenai with a subtle look, wanting to hear his sweetheart's reaction to his sharp comments.
Such mature and sharp words will surely make Kurenai look at him with new eyes, right?
Asuma maintained a serious expression and adopted a pose of false profundity.
But unlike what he thought, Kurenai looked at Asuma with bright eyes and surprise. "So, it was organized by the Third Hokage? As expected of the Hokage, he suddenly made the scene so lively..."
"When Kakashi-kun wasn't present before, it seemed like everyone was unmotivated..."
Asuma was momentarily stunned, he looked away involuntarily and frowned in displeasure.
And this scene did not go unnoticed by Kazuki, who, with a smile, said to the white-haired Hokage inside him: "What do you think, Tobirama? This is the ninja school you founded, here are the futures of Konoha."
"You see? This is the Third Hokage's son, he really is a rebellious young man..."
"Don't call me Tobirama, kid, I'm older than your great-grandfather!" Senju Tobirama rejected Kazuki's familiarity with discontent, but the curious expression on his face was still very honest.
He looked at the scene of the Ninja School greedily.
As Second Hokage and the first headmaster of the ninja school, Tobirama had a special affection for the children of Konoha.
Looking at the energetic students of the Ninja School, Tobirama's gaze turned soft and he thought: 'It seems that Monkey and Danzo have done a good job...'
'The children are generally happy and relaxed. They respect Monkey from the bottom of their hearts. The people are very united. It seems that even if the little monster Uchiha Kazuki appears, the Uchiha clan cannot take over Konoha!'
Kazuki smiled and watched the changes in Tobirama's expression.
The current Konoha, before Hatake Sakumo was persecuted, Orochimaru had not yet rebelled, and Uchiha Madara had not yet attacked Obito, was indeed like an unbreakable iron plate.
But although Konoha seems to be strong, internal strife in the future is already doomed to happen.
Orochimaru is likely in cahoots with Danzo, which has attracted the attention of the Third Hokage.
Hatake Sakumo's prestige has caused substantial damage to the legacy of the Hokage line's master-apprentice system, causing Konoha's high-level officials to become wary.
Perhaps at this moment, Uchiha Madara was also observing the scene through White Zetsu, fixing his attention on Obito.
The wheels of fate had already begun to turn, only the sound signaling the impending collapse had not yet been heard.
"Quiet, noisy boys, I hope your performance later will be as eye-catching as your voice!!" Umino Ikkaku clapped his hands loudly, signaling the students to be quiet.
"I declare that the final exams for this semester will officially begin from now!"
"The first subject is a practical confrontation! This time, we will adopt a lottery system. Starting from the first student drawn, the competition will be held in the form of a ring match. If you can win three games in a row, you will be awarded full marks!"
Ikkaku paused, coughed lightly in a mysterious tone, and said in a deep voice: "In addition, students who get full marks can also apply for a practical graduation assessment on the spot to the examiner Hatake Chunin sent by the Third Hokage."
"If the performance is good, Chunin Hatake will submit a report to the Third Hokage, and then you will have the chance to receive his attention!"
As soon as Ikkaku finished speaking, the entire ninja school turned into a boiling ocean and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. Many students looked at Kakashi with fighting spirit.
Kazuki's face did not change, but the corners of his mouth could not help twitching.
This is really too much like a meeting between a star player and his fans, and those who perform well can have a one-on-one duel...
It has also been upgraded. If you perform well in the one-on-one duel, you can try out for the Konoha team and get the attention of Hiruzen manager.
"Well, tell me, are you ready?" Ikkaku shouted loudly, holding the lottery box with both hands, and his eyes slowly swept over every ninja school student present.
"Ready!" The unanimous response echoed through the place.
But no one noticed that, the moment Ikkaku's gaze briefly met Kazuki's, Kazuki's two-tomoe Sharingan behind his contact lenses gently rotated...
The contact lenses Kazuki wore were not a simple item purchased at the market. They were actually a special technique that he himself had developed thanks to Tobirama's talent in ninjutsu.
Even a sensor-type shinobi, as long as he is not too close to Kazuki, will find it difficult to detect the anomaly immediately.
But there is always someone who is special.
At this moment, Tobirama inside Kazuki narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: “At the very least, it must be a two-tomoe Sharingan, an ingenious genjutsu technique, and a formidable ability to modify ninjutsu…”
"What a troublesome kid."
Meanwhile, Ikkaku looked away from Kazuki, before looking around the boiling training ground again with a normal expression and smiled in satisfaction. "Then, the exciting lottery session begins."
