Chapter 8 [Final Exam!]

"Hello everyone, I am Hyuga Bin. I am four and a half years old, my hobby is tasting delicious food, and my dream is to become an excellent ninja."

Hyuga Bin quickly went on stage, quickly finished his self-introduction, and quickly got off stage.

To avoid attracting attention, he didn't mention singing, dancing, rap, and basketball as hobbies.

Then, the mission reward was obtained.

[Option Mission Complete, Pupil Power +0.1.]

As for why he didn't choose options A and B, it was because those two options required him to actually say the words to redeem the reward.

The first option, to become the man of the Fifth Hokage, was obviously ambiguous.

And if it was as he understood it, Konoha would have two Fifth Hokages in the future, one being the big-breasted Tsunade, and the other being Shimura Danzo.

Even though Shimura Danzo had the word [Acting] before his name, it couldn't change the fact that he served as the Fifth Hokage for a period of time.

If the Fifth Hokage referred to by the system was Shimura Danzo, it was simply impossible for him.

If it was Tsunade, after considering it, it was also impossible.

Tsunade was more than 20 years older than him after all.

By the time he was 15 and could eat meat, Tsunade would be almost 40.

In the world of ninjas, women at thirty are like tigers, and at forty, they can suck the earth sitting down...

Although Tsunade possessed the Yin Seal, she could freely control her body's age.

As for the second option, becoming the strongest in the ninja world, the difficulty was even greater than becoming the Hokage's man, and he couldn't wait that many years.

Therefore, option C was the most stable, getting 0.1 attribute points for free.

Several months passed quietly.

Hyuga Bin's recent life has been very comfortable. He went to school every day, did multiple-choice questions, and then trained the Gentle Fist overtime at night, and the final exam arrived.

After the final exam, there would be a month-long holiday.

This final exam not only assessed the academic performance of the past six months but was also being watched by Konoha's higher-ups, and even the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, there were the second-generation official, Sarutobi Asuma, and the genius, Hatake Kakashi, in the class.

Due to time constraints, the final exam only had two items: ninja tool throwing and practical combat.

The practical combat was a match-up between students, with teachers referring to their usual grades, and the strength of the two opponents would not differ too much.

The ninja tool throwing assessment was in the morning, and the practical combat was scheduled for the afternoon.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

As the assessment began, the first-ranked Hatake Kakashi, true to his genius reputation, easily hit the bullseye of the target several meters away with six shuriken.

After throwing, Hatake Kakashi also cast a resentful glance at Hyuga Bin.

After half a year at the ninja academy, Hyuga Bin still hadn't accepted even one of his challenges.

At this moment, Hyuga Bin was chatting with Uchiha Obito and didn't see Hatake Kakashi's resentful gaze.

The assessment continued, and Sarutobi Asuma, the Hokage's son, also hit the bullseye with all six shuriken.

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's private tutoring, Sarutobi Asuma could match the genius Kakashi equally in basic subjects.

When it was Hyuga Bin's turn to compete, Hyuga Bin casually threw his shuriken.

A total of six shuriken, Hyuga Bin perfectly controlled 4 hits and 2 misses.

This was the level of most students in the class.

As for Uchiha Obito, because he often helped old ladies cross the road and was late, his shuriken hit rate was only 50%, making him the undisputed tail-ender of the class.

After the ninja tool throwing assessment in the morning, the afternoon brought the students' favorite practical combat assessment.

Practical combat was the most important assessment, as it was the only way to truly represent a person's actual strength.

In the ninja academy, only through practical combat could the teachers understand each student's strengths and weaknesses and provide targeted guidance.

As the practical combat assessment began in the afternoon, the students were very excited, and even the tail-ender Uchiha Obito was eager to have a great battle with Hatake Kakashi.

Only Hyuga Bin had no interest.

"First match, Uchiha Obito vs. Tobitake."

Teacher Ogawa, holding a roster, announced the participants for the first match.

It was Uchiha Obito, ranked third from the bottom in terms of usual performance, and Tobitake, ranked fourth from the bottom.

Five minutes later, a battle between two tail-enders ended. Uchiha Obito and Tobitake fought to a draw, with no winner decided.

"Second match, Hatake Kakashi vs. Sarutobi Asuma."

Unlike the first match, the second match was a battle between the first and second-ranked students in the class. Everyone except Hyuga Bin was watching.

In reality, as their teacher, Ogawa didn't want Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma to spar. This was because Hatake Kakashi's strength was already far greater than many genin, making Sarutobi Asuma no match for him.

However, compared to Sarutobi Asuma, who was second, the others were clearly even less of a match.

"Teacher Ogawa, I want to challenge Hyuga Bin today."

Hatake Kakashi proposed his idea to Ogawa, his gaze intently fixed on Hyuga Bin, who was cooling off in a corner.

He was waiting for Hyuga Bin to accept his challenge; he had looked forward to this day for a long time.

Ever since Hyuga Bin defeated him a year ago, every challenge he issued had been rejected by Hyuga Bin.

This time, for the final exam, he believed that no matter how reluctant Hyuga Bin was, he wouldn't refuse again.

As Hatake Kakashi finished speaking, everyone present, including Ogawa, was surprised.

They clearly didn't understand why Hatake Kakashi, the top-ranked student, would challenge Hyuga Bin, who was ranked in the middle.

Could it be because he couldn't stand Hyuga Bin's frequent "eye-rolling" and wanted to teach him a lesson?

Meanwhile, Hyuga Bin also received an option mission from the system because of Hatake Kakashi's words.

[Option A: Accept Hatake Kakashi's challenge. Reward: Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall (C-rank reward).]

[Option B: Say to Hatake Kakashi: "Maybe next time, maybe next time." Reward: Substitution Technique (D-rank reward).]

[Option C: Refuse Hatake Kakashi's challenge. Reward: Random Stat Point +0.1.]

Hyuga Bin immediately stood up and walked in front of Hatake Kakashi, responding in the most resolute tone:

"Kakashi, I refuse to accept your challenge!"

"..."
