Ninja Academy Life

"I'm Hyuga Sho."

Under everyone's watchful gazes, Hyuga Sho wore an Honest and Simple smile that looked utterly harmless.

The Hyuga Clan.

They generally produced handsome men and beautiful women.

That was the conclusion he had reached during the fourteen days he had spent observing this world.

Hyuga Sho understood this clearly.

In the eyes of outsiders,

as a Dead Last, he had nothing going for him except his looks.

After introducing himself,

Hyuga Sho drew the attention of nearly every girl in the classroom.

Quite a few girls whispered among themselves, praising Hyuga Sho's handsome appearance.

He believed that for a long time to come, discussions of Hyuga Sho's looks would become one of the girls' favorite gossip topics.

"My dream is to Protect the Main Family!"

Hyuga Sho clenched his fist and declared this in a firm, loyal tone.

Life at the Ninja Academy was rich and colorful.

Hyuga Sho was like a sponge, diligently absorbing everything this world had to offer.

There were cultural studies, Shuriken and Kunai Throwing classes, Taijutsu classes, and of course, the Ninjutsu classes Hyuga Sho had been eagerly anticipating.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

[Doka Degree: 8%]

It was the thirtieth day since Hyuga Sho had arrived in this world.

Their homeroom teacher, Funano Daihoku, finally began teaching the Three Body Techniques.

"After the previous Chakra extraction classes and Hand Seals lessons, I believe everyone has learned how to control it... Next, we'll begin learning the Three Body Techniques..."

The so-called Three Body Techniques

were fundamental skills every ninja had to master.

In this world, there was not only Taijutsu, but also a power known as Ninjutsu.

They were based on the consumption of Chakra.

Summoning streams of water from thin air, breathing fire, unleashing lightning...

By rank,

the Ninjutsu and Taijutsu in this world were divided into six levels: E, D, C, B, A, and S.

Special Kekkei Genkai, secret techniques, and the like had no rank.

For example, the Gentle Fist practiced by Hyuga Sho had no rank designation whatsoever.

"The Three Body Techniques consist of the Substitution Technique, Clone Technique, and Transformation Technique. They are E-Rank. Next, we'll start with the least difficult one: the Clone Technique."

The Clone Technique created an illusory, insubstantial clone that could confuse the enemy.

Having long since worn out his textbook from reading it so thoroughly, Hyuga Sho had gained a great deal of basic knowledge about this world.

The key he had been yearning for—to becoming a ninja and breaking through his Doka Degree—was finally here.

Funano Daihoku formed his Hand Seals slowly, deliberately allowing the students to see the process clearly.

As he completed the Hand Seals, a cloud of smoke rose...

Bang!!

An identical clone appeared beside Funano Daihoku.

"Whoa~~!"

The students cried out in amazement at the phenomenon.

Hyuga Sho, however, quickly observed the clone, comparing the differences between it and the Original Body.

The two Funano Daihokus looked exactly alike.

The only difference was that the "clone" had no "shadow."

"Byakugan!"

When Hyuga Sho activated his Byakugan and observed again,

the difference in Chakra between Funano Daihoku's Original Body and clone became vividly clear.

The clone's Chakra was extremely dim in color, while the Original Body's blazed like a torch.

"Alright, which student would like to give it a try?"

Funano Daihoku released the clone, which turned into White Smoke and vanished without a trace.

"I'll do it~!"

At that moment, Might Guy pushed his way out from the crowd.

Sweat covered Might Guy's forehead. He was clearly frightened, yet he eagerly raised his hand.

"Alright, Student Guy, come up and give it a try."

Funano Daihoku stepped aside while Might Guy took the podium.

"Clone Technique!!"

Might Guy formed Hand Seals with convincing flair.

Smoke rose...

Might Guy's shirt and pants fell to the side.

As for a clone... none appeared at all.

The students below the stage were stunned at first.

Then they burst into laughter.

Mocked by everyone, Might Guy picked up his clothes and walked down from the podium with a dejected expression.

"Hmph... Watch me."

Hatake Kakashi stood up, not even bothering to leave his spot.

"Clone Technique!"

A clone appeared.

Before the students could even exclaim in surprise,

Bang! Bang!... Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of more than twenty clones appeared one after another throughout the classroom.

Homeroom teacher Funano Daihoku froze on the spot.

The students were even more dumbfounded.

"Hmph..."

Hatake Kakashi cast a glance toward Hyuga Mami, his challenging gaze unmistakable.

"..."

Hyuga Mami rose and formed Hand Seals.

Only one clone appeared.

Seeing this, Kakashi was about to laugh when his expression abruptly changed.

"Damn it... It's actually... actually the B-Rank Shadow Clone Technique..."

Cold sweat poured down Kakashi's forehead as he resentfully sat back down.

The Shadow Clone Technique was a technique invented by Konoha's Second Hokage.

It was B-Rank in difficulty and belonged to the level of Jonin Ninjutsu.

When Kakashi tried to challenge Hyuga Mami with an E-Rank technique, she responded with a B-Rank one.

Who was stronger and who was weaker was no longer difficult to determine.

Hyuga Mami released her Shadow Clone.

She looked back out the window, her gaze distant and ethereal.

As though she did not care in the slightest about the farce unfolding in the classroom...

Of course,

this difference in strength was not something Children could yet judge.

They only saw Hyuga Mami create one clone.

They did not understand that Hyuga Mami's strength had already reached an entirely different dimension.

Only Kakashi, Hyuga Sho, and homeroom teacher Funano Daihoku understood what was really going on.

"B-Rank..."

Hyuga Sho furrowed his brows.

No matter what world it was, there were always creatures known as "geniuses."

They started higher and possessed greater talent.

"But I'll definitely work harder than them."

Hyuga Sho knew his own strength well.

That was... unmatched focus, and a machine-like style of pushing effort to its absolute limit.

"Clone Technique!"

After class, Hyuga Sho, like the other students, devoted himself to practicing the Clone Technique.

The classroom was filled with the continuous sounds of bangs.

From the middle of the previous class until now, Hyuga Sho had practiced for twenty minutes.

After creating dozens of clones in succession, Hyuga Sho let out a long breath and sat back down to rest.

[Doka Degree: 8.2%]

It increased by 0.2% all at once.

Seeing his Doka Degree return to its rapid growth, Hyuga Sho felt immensely gratified.

As expected... the bottleneck was here. After learning the Clone Technique, one of the Three Body Techniques, the Doka Degree has loosened again...

This development made Hyuga Sho look forward even more to the Transformation Technique and Substitution Technique that followed the Clone Technique.

Hyuga Sho had a feeling.

After the Doka Degree reached 10%, perhaps something would happen.
