Entrance Exam!

Chapter 6 [Entrance Exam!]

It didn't take long for Hyuga Bin to come to terms with it.

The reward for completing this option mission was merely Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms. With his status in the Hyuga Clan, he could officially begin practicing the clan's Eight Trigrams Palm at the age of five, so learning it himself was only a matter of time.

Besides, the outcome was good – he had defeated Kakashi! One had to realize that in the entire Ninja World, the number of people who could defeat the Sixth Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, in a one-on-one fight could be counted on one hand. Hatake Kakashi's titles of "Konoha Technician" and "Hatake the 50/50" were not undeserved. Many female ninjas from other villages couldn't withstand Hatake Kakashi's relentless assault. Hatake Kakashi was a man who could trade blows with Otsutsuki Kaguya, even managing to land a blow on her with Kamui Lightning Blade, making Otsutsuki Kaguya taste blood. If he thought about it like this, wouldn't that mean he could also trade blows with Otsutsuki Kaguya?

By the time he returned home, Hyuga Masato looked at Hyuga Bin, whose face was injured and clothes were dirty and disheveled, and asked with concern, "Little Bin, why are you injured? Did those Uchiha brats bother you again?" Regarding the previous incident where Hyuga Bin was ganged up on, Hyuga Masato had found the Uchiha Security Force and explained the situation. After investigating, the Uchiha Security Force directly informed the parents of the three Uchiha children. Consequently, these three Uchiha children were beaten. Although the Uchiha Clan was arrogant and overbearing, they were not unreasonable. If it were a one-on-one fight and the Uchiha defeated the Hyuga, they wouldn't apologize; instead, they would mock the other party, saying that if the younger one couldn't win, they should bring an older one to cause trouble. However, for bullying the weak, ganging up on someone with three against one, and then having one of them beaten and crying by the opponent, they needed to be severely disciplined. This was simply too embarrassing for the Uchiha Clan!

"No, Kakashi and I had a spar," Hyuga Bin shook his head.

"Kakashi? Is it White Fang Lord's son, Kakashi?" Hyuga Masato immediately thought of Hatake Sakumo, who was currently the most famous in Konoha and had the highest favorability rating with the Fourth Hokage.

"Mm," Hyuga Bin nodded.

"You lost?"

"I won."

"As expected of my son, now I have something to brag about." Hyuga Masato's initially nervous and expectant expression instantly relaxed. Hyuga Bin's victory over Hatake Kakashi was clearly something for him to be proud of. He was already thinking about how to tell his colleagues tomorrow that "My son has the potential of a Great Emperor."

Hyuga Bin: "..."

A year passed in the blink of an eye. Konoha Year 38, and it was once again time for the Ninja Academy's annual enrollment. Hyuga Bin, who had already been branded with the Caged Bird, was, without any surprise, registered by Hyuga Masato to participate in the Ninja Academy's entrance exam. As a "genius" who had defeated Uchiha Obito and beaten Hatake Kakashi, Hyuga Masato naturally wouldn't let Hyuga Bin stay home and waste a year just because he was under five years old.

On the day of the entrance exam, Hyuga Bin, unable to resist his father, arrived at the Ninja Academy with Hyuga Rei accompanying him to take the assessment. When Hyuga Bin arrived, there were already over a hundred children, five or six years old, queuing up, and more children were arriving continuously. When it was time for the assessment, Hyuga Bin followed the large group into the Ninja Academy. The Ninja Academy recruited children aged five or six every year. Passing the assessment meant enrollment and becoming a first-year student at the Ninja Academy. Children like Hyuga Bin and Hatake Kakashi, who were under five years old, could also participate if they were confident in the assessment. The assessment purely tested physical strength and endurance, requiring participants to run fifty laps around the track within two hours. Those who completed it would pass; otherwise, they would fail. For the vast majority of ninjas, physical strength was the most important. In a village, Jonin made up less than 10% of the total ninja population. In a village like Konohagakure, with over ten thousand registered ninjas, there were only a little over a thousand Jonin, less than four thousand Chunin, and the remaining nearly ten thousand ninjas were Genin. Battles between Chunin and Genin mostly relied on Taijutsu, and the primary requirement for Taijutsu was naturally physical strength.

As the Ninja Academy teacher finished explaining, Hyuga Bin, as expected, received an option mission from the system:

[Option A: Complete the assessment with the first-place score. Completion Reward: Shurikenjutsu (C-rank reward).]

[Option B: Give your all, regardless of the outcome. Completion Reward: Shadow Clone Jutsu (B-rank reward).]

[Option C: Go with the flow, as long as I can enroll. Completion Reward: Random Attribute Points +0.1.]

"Option A is quite good, just running first place gets rewarded with Shurikenjutsu..."

"Eh, Option B is even better. All I need to do is give my all, and the reward is Shadow Clone Jutsu, which is better than Shurikenjutsu."

"Then I'll choose C."

Hyuga Bin quickly made his choice and began to jog with the first batch of children.
