Three Geniuses on the Same Stage

Seeing Obito Uchiha's expression of refusing to yield even if beaten to death and absolutely not wanting the gift, Veigar shoved the item in his hand towards Obito Uchiha.

Just as Obito Uchiha subconsciously caught it, he heard Veigar's maliciously filled words: "Obito, this is the secret manual that allowed me to get full marks on the exam. Now I'm giving it to you."

"Don't let my good intentions go to waste. You must study it well."

Then Veigar turned to Rin Nohara and said, "Rin, if Obito still fails the exam, don't talk to him anymore."

After speaking, Veigar directly closed the door, leaving Obito Uchiha outside the door in a daze, and Rin Nohara with a smiling face.

Moreover, Rin Nohara delivered a critical hit to Obito Uchiha, who was on the verge of tears.

"Obito, Veigar's study notes are very detailed. You must study hard!"

After saying that, Rin Nohara turned and left with a sweet smile.

Originally, Obito Uchiha, the academically poor Dead Last, disliked reading. Veigar giving him his class notes was already a great harm to him.

Furthermore, Veigar brought up Rin Nohara, whom he cared about the most, which undoubtedly dealt Obito Uchiha real damage.

Finally, Rin Nohara's last sentence was a critical hit of real damage to Obito Uchiha, almost killing him.

Obito Uchiha, who came back to his senses, saw Rin Nohara's retreating back and immediately chased after her.

"Rin, wait for me."

Veigar, who felt Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara leave the house, revealed deep contemplation in his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed without anyone noticing.

Veigar had also made preparations for the graduation assessment early and arrived at the Ninja Academy ahead of time.

In a week's time, through unremitting effort, Veigar had finally completed the Body Strengthening Technique. With his Chakra quality being four times that of ordinary people, his taijutsu alone was enough to rival an ordinary Chunin.

However, to be absolutely sure, Veigar also brought his Ninja Sword. After practicing swordsmanship for so long, he was ready to showcase his skills today.

There was no other way, as Veigar did not know any Ninjutsu at the moment. Today, he could only use swordsmanship as his primary means of attack.

As the time for the graduation assessment drew closer, Veigar met Might Guy and the others who came to cheer him on.

As the time approached, the Third Hokage of the village, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was the first to appear on the training ground. Accompanying Hiruzen Sarutobi was another person, who was once a civilian genius in the Ninja Academy—Minato Namikaze.

At ten in the morning, Veigar's graduation assessment time arrived.

"Minato, go!"

Seeing that the time had come, Hiruzen Sarutobi said to Minato Namikaze behind him.

"Yes, Third Lord."

Minato Namikaze, after responding, instantly vanished from his original spot and appeared on the training stage.

"I am Minato Namikaze, the chief examiner for today's graduation assessment."

"Now, please have both parties enter the stage."

Vega Koshima, who was below the stage, had already recognized Minato Namikaze standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi. However, he hadn't expected that the chief examiner for today's graduation assessment would be him.

However, there was still something Vega Koshima hadn't expected. As he stepped onto the training stage, he was shocked to discover that his opponent today was—Kakashi Hatake.

The entire school's teachers and students watching from the sidelines, upon seeing the small figures of Vega Koshima and Kakashi Hatake on the stage, erupted in an instant uproar.

They also hadn't expected that Vega Koshima, who was participating in the early graduation exam today, would have such a renowned super genius of the village as his opponent—Kakashi Hatake.

It had to be said, Hiruzen Sarutobi really knew how to play.

He actually thought of using one genius to test another genius.

Although Vega Koshima wasn't a genius, standing on this stage today, how could he not be seen as a genius by others? Vega Koshima, with his civilian background, was practically a super genius.

If ninety-nine out of a hundred people said Vega Koshima wasn't a genius, then Vega Koshima might still be fake.

But when all one hundred people believed Vega Koshima was truly a genius, even if Vega Koshima wasn't a genius, he could only be a genius.

Even though Vega Koshima knew he was a fake genius, in the eyes of others, he was a genius.

When reason cannot be explained, and people's eyes are covered by facts, they are often blind.

Before the match even began, Vega Koshima said to Kakashi Hatake, "Long time no see, Kakashi."

"I didn't expect my opponent today would be you."

Kakashi Hatake responded coldly, "You are indeed different from others. My initial feeling was not wrong."

Kakashi Hatake's words were suggestive, and in his heart, he believed that what had attracted him to Vega Koshima back then was the talent hidden within Vega Koshima's body.

Then, Kakashi Hatake continued, "Come on, let me see how strong you are now?"

After speaking, Kakashi Hatake was already ready for battle, itching to fight.

Minato Namikaze, in the center of the training stage, after hearing the conversation between Vega Koshima and Kakashi Hatake, realized that the two already knew each other.

Had they even fought before?

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Minato Namikaze did not forget that his main task today was to preside over Vega Koshima's graduation assessment.

"Now, Vega Koshima's graduation assessment is about to begin. His opponent is Chunin Kakashi Hatake."

"The rules for today's assessment are that one party loses the ability to fight or surrenders, or when I deem one party is no longer able to fight."

"I will step in to end the match, and at the same time, it will signify the end of Vega Koshima's graduation assessment."

"Rule two, if Vega Koshima can last three minutes against Kakashi Hatake without being defeated, the battle will also be stopped, and the graduation assessment will also conclude."

"Do both parties have any objections?"

Minato Namikaze, after explaining the rules for today's graduation exam, asked Vega and Kakashi Hatake on the stage.

Vega and Kakashi Hatake both shook their heads, indicating they had no objections.

"Then, both parties, form the Opposing Seal."

After the two formed the Opposing Seal, the atmosphere on the training stage instantly became tense, and the battle was on the verge of erupting.

For Vega, his opponent in today's graduation assessment, Kakashi Hatake, was a suitable opponent to test his current strength.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze directly announced, "Begin."

The three figures on the training stage moved simultaneously. Minato Namikaze retreated, needing to leave the stage for Vega and Kakashi Hatake.

Vega and Kakashi Hatake, on the other hand, charged forward, aiming to—defeat the other.

The importance of this graduation assessment battle for Vega was self-evident; it was a battle that would determine if he could graduate smoothly, a battle he could not lose.
