The Fourth Hokage Is a Down-to-Earth Person

On his way to the Ninja Academy, Makoto Ito happily imagined himself with Hinata on his left and Ino on his right…

He would get rid of his dead last title and become the top student in his class!

But once he arrived at school, Makoto Ito realized he had been overthinking things.

There was indeed a test today, that much was true!

However, it was completely different from the ninja combat he had imagined. Instead, he was immediately confronted with a huge stack of papers, all kinds of them, which was absolutely absurd!

Makoto Ito dumbfoundedly accepted the test papers, only to find that he couldn't understand anything at all!

It was like looking at a blank book!

"I'm really losing it! What the hell is all this?"

After all, in his previous life, he had been tested almost to the point of spitting blood! He never expected that even after transmigrating to the Naruto World, he'd still have to take tests!

Especially him, a ninja! What is a ninja? Isn't a ninja someone who finds ways to eliminate enemies? Why do they need to take academic exams?

Which genius came up with this test?

Uchiha Izuna: Holy crap! Do ninjas nowadays have to study academic subjects too? Is this a ninja academy or what?

Madara Uchiha: Hahaha, this is hilarious, Tobirama! Is this the ninja academy you founded? You even have to take written exams! Is this where Konoha trains ninjas?

Tobirama Senju: Madara Uchiha, shut your mouth! What do you know?! Of course, a ninja academy has to teach a lot of knowledge! All aspects must be comprehensively cultivated! That's what makes an excellent ninja!

Madara Uchiha: Yes, yes, yes, those "excellent ninjas" you speak of are ones I can easily crush with barely any effort!

Makoto Ito looked at the test papers on his desk, feeling a headache coming on. After all, his previous self was a true dead last, and he himself knew absolutely nothing about the Naruto World.

He had arrived feeling great, even fantasizing about becoming the top student, but he was immediately hit with a harsh reality. If he messed up this time, he'd be competing with Naruto Uzumaki for last place again!

The first question on the test paper read:

How is Chakra formed within a ninja's body?

At this moment, the big shots in the group chat also saw this question…

Tobirama Senju: How did a question like this even appear on the test? Even a three-year-old child would know this, right? Isn't this just common knowledge?

Madara Uchiha: You're killing me! Tobirama! Is this what you mean by training comprehensive ninjas? Even an idiot would know how to answer this question!

Makoto Ito: So, Madara, do you know?

Madara Uchiha: What a joke, of course I know!

Tobirama Senju: Hahahahahahaha… Aren't you admitting you're an idiot then? After all, you just said that even an idiot would know this question!

Madara Uchiha: ????? Then I don't know!

Tobirama Senju: Hahahahaha! A question that even an idiot knows, and yet you don't! Doesn't that make you worse than an idiot?

Madara Uchiha: Arghhh!!!! Tobirama Senju! Shut up!!! You think you're so smart, don't you?!

Although Tobirama was verbally sparring with Madara Uchiha at this moment, he was still very confused internally!

After all, such test questions were indeed too simple! When he founded the Ninja Academy back then, such questions would never have appeared on a test for this grade level! How did it come to this after so many years? Had the Ninja Academy started teaching simpler things?

Makoto Ito looked at the first question and realized he actually knew the answer!

So, he confidently wrote: Chakra is formed by the combination of physical energy and spiritual energy!

Next was the second question:

When a ninja runs out of Chakra, how long does it take for their Chakra to fully recover without using soldier pills?

Makoto Ito was dumbfounded by this question!

I really don't know this one! Who knows how long it takes to recover to full capacity? What's the point of a question like this anyway?

Makoto Ito: Big shots! Does anyone know how to answer this question?

Madara Uchiha: Isn't this simple? Half an hour is enough!

Hizashi Hyuga: Holy crap!

Minato Namikaze: Holy crap! As expected of a big shot, amazing, amazing! Can you really recover fully in half an hour?

Hashirama Senju: ????? Is it half an hour? But I only need ten minutes!

Hizashi Hyuga: Oh my god!

Minato Namikaze: As expected of a big shot, I can't compare, can't compare!!!

Makoto Ito carefully thought about what Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju said. Half an hour and ten minutes? Why did it feel so wrong?

After all, when he watched the anime in his previous life, some people seemed to need a long time to recover after running out of Chakra. Were these two really that abnormal?

Madara Uchiha: It's always been fast, I've always taken half an hour!

Hashirama Senju: Yeah, I've always taken ten minutes!

Madara Uchiha: Shut up, Hashirama! You play with wood style, how can you be like us?

Makoto Ito only realized after hearing Madara Uchiha's words why Hizashi Hyuga and Minato Namikaze had called these two "big shots" earlier!

Could those two really be considered normal people? He almost fell into their trap!

[Makoto Ito: Madara! You don't seem like a normal ninja either, do you? That half an hour of yours must be your own recovery speed, right?]

[Madara Uchiha: That's right, it is my own recovery speed! How would I know anyone else's?]

[Makoto Ito: Then can you just stop talking, please? You two are both more abnormal than the last, how can you be anything like normal ninjas?]

[Minato Namikaze: Exactly! The recovery speed of these two powerhouses is just terrifying! The correct answer to this question should be at least eight hours!]

[Makoto Ito: It has to be you, Fourth Hokage! You're the honest one!]

[Madara Uchiha: Clearly, there's a problem with how this question is phrased! Isn't it just asking about recovery speed? My recovery speed is half an hour, so what?]

[Makoto Ito: You're amazing! I have nothing left to say!]

Makoto Ito had a massive headache at that moment. After all, it was a full test paper, and he was only on the second question, yet he was already in a complete mess. What kind of monstrous questions would come next?

Thankfully, there was still the honest Fourth Hokage in the group! Otherwise, if everyone were like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, he'd probably go insane!

After all, neither of them was a proper ninja, so their answers to the questions probably wouldn't be very proper either!

The Fourth Hokage was truly a down-to-earth person
