Graduation Exam: New Recognition

The next day.

Uchiha Tunan, who had stayed up until late the previous night, woke up early.

After a simple wash and changing into a brand-new shirt, he put on his ninja tool pouch and headed to the Ninja Academy.

Today was the final exam and also graduation day.

A large crowd of parents had gathered outside the Ninja Academy.

When Uchiha Tunan arrived at the school gate, these parents began to whisper and discuss amongst themselves.

"That's the genius of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Tunan. My child said he and another genius, Kakashi, both applied for early graduation."

"This little guy looks like he's only in his second year."

"You clearly don't pay much attention to your child. This Uchiha Tunan and Kakashi are both first-year students."

"How are other people's kids so amazing?"

"I heard that Uchiha Tunan awakened his Sharingan out of grief when his parents died. Thinking about my child, I wish I could jump into a river with his mother so he'd awaken one too."

"Well, actually, a family living a simple, happy life is quite good."

"This little guy looks so gentle and refined, not like someone very powerful."

"The one who was wandering around with a little girl's corpse a while back seemed to be him."

"So it was him. I heard that little girl was his girlfriend."

"Kids these days, dating so early. No way, I need to teach my child a good lesson. At least wait until third grade to date."

"What's there to manage? Your child is a girl, right?"

Just then, Uchiha Tunan arrived behind the two parents who were discussing and politely said:

"Excuse me, could you please let me pass?"

"Little guy, hurry inside."

"Good luck!"

"Thank you, uncles."

After Uchiha Tunan entered the school, one of the parents looked at his retreating figure and stroked his chin, saying:

"Actually, if my child could date this little guy, it wouldn't be so bad to think about."

Uchiha Tunan made his way to the graduation exam hall.

Pushing open the exam hall door, he saw about fifty to sixty graduates seated inside.

It was still early, so most people clearly hadn't arrived yet.

Even Kakashi, who was always early, hadn't shown up.

Uchiha Tunan, with a gentle smile, nodded to the graduates in the classroom.

Then, under the arrangement of the proctor, he took his seat.

A full half-hour passed before the remaining graduates gradually arrived.

"Are those the white-haired kid and the kid with glasses the first-year students who applied for early graduation this year?"

"Yeah, don't underestimate them. I often sit by the window and watch the practical training drills of other grades. Those two kids are ridiculously strong."

"Silence."

The proctor said sternly:

"We will now begin distributing the test papers. No talking. If anyone is caught cheating, their score will be zero."

Soon, the test papers were distributed to everyone.

Uchiha Tunan glanced at them. The content on the papers was very simple. It was so simple that even Naruto could pass, and they were all multiple-choice questions.

It seemed the theoretical knowledge learned in the academy only became useful during the Chunin Exams.

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and quickly filled in the answers with his pen.

Question: How is Chakra produced?

a. It is produced out of thin air.

b. It is produced by digesting food.

It is produced by the combination of physical and mental energy.

Three options, whether you choose C because you don't know or choose the longest one, will be correct.

Q: What can a clone created by the Clone Technique do?

a. Help with homework. b. Scratch an itch for yourself. c. Walk.

A total of twenty foolish multiple-choice questions. Twelve of them were answered with C.

This means that even if you don't know anything, you can still pass by choosing C for all the questions.

At this point, most people had already finished their exams and were sitting obediently in their seats.

After about half an hour, the proctor began collecting the papers one by one.

At this time, Mizuki Uno seemed to have finished proctoring the first-year final exams and came to the graduation exam hall to help.

As soon as he entered, he gave Kakashi and Uchiha Tunan an encouraging look.

Uchiha Tunan nodded with a smile.

The proctor put away the exam papers, then stood up and announced, "Next is the ninjutsu test. This year's ninjutsu question is the Substitution Technique."

As soon as he spoke, the entire classroom erupted in complaints and noise.

"Nani!"

"Why is it the Substitution Technique, which requires the most hand seals and is the hardest?"

"I can't even remember all the hand seals for the Substitution Technique."

"I know the hand seals, but I fail nine out of ten times."

"Last year's graduates only had to perform the simplest Transformation Technique."

"Damn it, Teacher Yanosuke swore yesterday that the graduation prediction for this year was the Clone Technique."

Faced with this scene, the proctor's veins bulged on his forehead. He slammed his hand heavily on the desk and shouted:

"Shut up, or get out!"

Instantly, the exam hall fell silent.

Seeing that no one was speaking anymore, the proctor continued:

"Also, two people have applied for early graduation this year.

Because the exam content is different from everyone else's, they will take the test first."

He then nodded to Mizuki Uno beside him.

Mizuki Uno understood and said loudly:

"Kakashi."

Everyone's gaze shifted to Kakashi.

Kakashi, looking listless, lazily walked to the front of the podium.

Mizuki Uno gave the proctor beside him an awkward smile, then cleared his throat and said, "Kakashi, be serious. Perform all three Body Techniques."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi extended his hands. His hands seemed to disappear, making it impossible to see the trajectory of the hand seals.

Without even a puff of white smoke, another Kakashi appeared beside him.

The next moment, the Kakashi standing in place all turned into Uchiha Tunan's appearance.

And that clone began to walk towards the classroom door.

"And the Substitution Technique..." Mizuki Uno prompted.

As soon as he finished speaking, a "poof" sound was heard.

The Kakashi standing in place instantly turned into a substitution log.

"Can I go now?"

Everyone saw that the Kakashi they thought was a clone was standing at the door, his hand already on the doorknob.

The proctor said with admiration:

"Not bad. Not only are the Three Body Techniques proficient, but you can also combine them.

Come back to this classroom in three days to collect your ninja headband and meet your team leader."

After speaking, he recorded Kakashi's exam results in his notebook.

Kakashi shrugged, pushed the door open, and walked out.

"So amazing."

"Is this a first-year student? You're telling me he's a first-year?"

"Kakashi is already so strong, so is that other Uchiha prodigy even stronger?"

"I heard he awakened the Sharingan."

"Are they even letting us live anymore?"

Mizuki Uno looked at Uchiha Tunan, who was sitting at his seat, and said loudly:

"Next up, Uchiha Tunan."

Uchiha Tunan walked to the front, bowed to the two teachers, and then formed the "Un" hand seal.

A puff of white smoke rose, and Uchiha Tunan transformed into Mizuki Uno's appearance.

After dispelling the Transformation Technique, Uchiha Tunan began to use the Clone Technique.

"Un-Si-Yin"

Two identical Uchiha Tunans appeared before everyone.

"Compared to that white-haired guy earlier, he doesn't seem as good."

"Yeah, I thought he'd be more impressive."

"Looking at him now, he's not all that, though he's a little better than me."

"Un-Hai-Chou-Xu-Yin," Uchiha Tunan slowly and rhythmically completed the hand seals.

His body turned into a cloud of white smoke, a substitution log fell to the ground, and his actual body appeared to the side.

"Teacher, am I done?"

Uchiha Tunan looked at the proctoring teacher with a humble expression.

With Kakashi's exceptional performance as a benchmark, Uchiha Tunan's display seemed rather ordinary.

The proctoring teacher simply nodded faintly and casually gave him a "Good" score on his paper, saying:

"Not bad, you're just not very proficient yet. You'll need to practice more in the future. You passed, come back in three days."

Uchiha Tunan paid no mind to the proctoring teacher's differential treatment, placed his hands on his knees, and bowed:

"Thank you, Proctor. Thank you, Teacher Uno."

Mizuki Uno naturally knew that Uchiha Tunan's understanding of the Three Body Technique was no less than Kakashi's.

He actually developed a better impression of Uchiha Tunan because of his unassuming performance.

Looking at the polite Uchiha Tunan, Mizuki Uno smiled knowingly:

"This is the result of your own hard work. Go back and get some good rest."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and turned to walk out of the examination hall.

While tidying up his materials, the proctoring teacher quietly said to Mizuki Uno:

"You've taught two excellent students. Graduating after only a year in the academy, it's truly enviable."

A sense of joy rose in Mizuki Uno's heart, and he scratched his head happily, saying, "Not really, not really."

"Ding, Mizuki Uno's approval gained."

Uchiha Tunan happened to be at the entrance of the examination hall when he heard the system notification. His steps paused.

His eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth curved up, and he turned back to look at Mizuki Uno.

Mizuki Uno, who was scratching his head, suddenly frowned, feeling a chill run up his spine.

What's going on?

Mizuki Uno subconsciously looked up and scanned the students in the examination hall.

Finally, his gaze landed on Uchiha Tunan at the doorway, who was looking back with a smile.

For some reason, Mizuki Uno felt that Uchiha Tunan's smile was unnervingly creepy.

He swallowed nervously and asked, "Tunan, is there something else?"

Uchiha Tunan's smile widened a bit more, slightly dispelling the chill Mizuki Uno felt.

"Teacher Uno, I'll be a genin soon. You should work hard too, don't let me catch up."

Uchiha Tunan said in a teasing tone, then turned and left.

Mizuki Uno laughed heartily, instantly forgetting the strange feeling he had just experienced.

"This kid, encouraging his teacher now."

The proctoring teacher pondered for a moment and said leisurely:

"I think he's telling the truth. With his talent, he'll probably be a Chunin like you in a few years."

"Next, Akimichi Enka."

Mizuki Uno was taken aback for a moment, but after thinking it over, he agreed with the proctor's statement.

To be surpassed by his own student? He actually found the thought rather pleasant.

However, if he were surpassed too quickly, his students might look down on him.

Just you wait. Before you and Kakashi become Chunin, I'll definitely be promoted to Jonin.

It seems Tunan already took out a Chunin last time
