The Genin Exam Is Underway

Three days later.

Ninja Academy.

A temporary platform was erected on the playground, with a row of chairs placed in the center, which were prepared for the Third Hokage and the heads of the various ninja clans.

The playground was surrounded by students, all standing on tiptoe to peer into the center of the field, their chatter filling the air.

"I heard someone's getting promoted to Genin today?"

Who is it?

"Those three were Hokage-sama."

"You've only been learning for a month, right? You can Genin just one month?"

"You must be kidding me----"

Obito stood in the crowd, arms crossed. "What's so great about that? I can Genin someday too."

Lin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you can do it too in the future."

"Lin, don't disbelieve me. When I get serious, even I'm afraid of myself."

"Yes, you're the best."

Obito blushed slightly and fell silent.

Kai stood to the side, his eyes burning with passion. "Youth, this is youth! My rivals have already come this far, I can't fall behind!"

Not far from them were ordinary spectators, mostly villagers who had come to join the fun, carrying their grocery baskets.

Miya wore that kimono that she had ironed several times today, and her hair was also styled in an updo.

Do you think Shin-chan will be nervous?

"Him?" Hiroshi thought for a moment. "I don't think he would."

"That's true." Miya sighed. "We're the ones who's nervous."

A woman wearing a dress with Gunbai logo overheard Miya and Hiroshi's conversation, turned around, and smiled slightly.

"Are you here to observe the ceremony too?"

Miya nodded. "My son has an exam today."

"I am Uchiha Toru's mother. He is also taking the exam today." The woman bowed slightly.

Miya and Hiroshi quickly returned the greeting.

Toru's Mother said softly, "Xiao Che has always been a diligent child. Knowing he had an exam today, he practiced until very late last night."

"Last night?" Miya thought carefully for a moment, "Shin-chan seemed no different than usual."

Hiroshi coughed lightly beside him. "He's probably just relaxing."

When the Third Hokage stood up, the entire hall fell silent.

"Today is the Ninja Academy's Genin Promotion Ceremony," the Third Hokage said softly. "Three children have completed in a few months what others take several years to learn."

A murmur rippled across the playground.

"All three are geniuses," the Third Hokage continued. "Today, they will demonstrate their skills here and, through the test, officially become Konoha's Genin."

He sat down, Yuhi Shinku nodded.

Yuhi Shinku walked to the center of the playground and stood in front of the three children.

"Kakashi Hatake, Uchiha Toru, Shin Nohara."

When the three names were read out, the students on the playground started whispering among themselves.

The first-years were excited, while the older students frowned. They hadn't even qualified Genin yet, and now three first-years were about to be promoted to Genin?

"The assessment consists of two parts: a demonstration of the Three Body Techniques, and a demonstration of basic Ninjutsu."

Yuhi Shinku looked at the three children. "Let's begin."

The first item is the Transformation Technique.

Yuhi Shinku stood beside the high platform, holding a name card. "Kakashi Hatake."

Kakashi walked out and stood in the middle of the playground, his hands Hand Seals.

With a "bang," the smoke dissipated, and Kakashi transformed into Yuhi Shinku.

A round of applause erupted from the audience.

"Pass."

"Uchiha Toru."

Uchiha Toru stepped out, Hand Seals, and transformed into the form of Yuhi Shinku.

The ninja clan leaders in the audience whispered among themselves, and some nodded in agreement.

"Pass."

"Shin Nohara."

Shin-chan walked out, stood in the middle of the playground, and Hand Seals with his hands.

"Bang."

The smoke cleared, and the stands fell silent for a second.

Then Miya blushed.

Shin-chan transformed into a Pretty Big Sister in a bikini, with a hot figure, and even blew a kiss to the audience.

Hiroshi's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

Miya quickly covered Hiroshi's eyes, her own face turning red to the roots of her ears.

The Third Hokage almost dropped his pipe.

A huge "cross" appeared on Yuhi Shinku's forehead.

"Shin Nohara." Yuhi Shinku's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"Exist!"

What have you transformed into?

"Pretty Big Sister!"

Someone in the audience couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The expressions of the ninja clan leaders were priceless; they wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to. The Hyuga clan leader picked up his teacup, took a sip, and covered half his face.

The Third Hokage coughed and said, "Let him pass. He has a very good grasp of the essence of the Transformation Technique."

Yuhi Shinku took a deep breath. "Passed, quickly change back."

With a "bang," Shin-chan transformed back into himself and ran back to the group with a grin.

The subsequent tests on the Clone Technique and Substitution Technique went smoothly.

The demonstration of the Three Bodies Technique has ended; we will now move on to the second part.

Demonstration of basic Ninjutsu.

Yuhi Shinku glanced at the list and asked, "Kakashi Hatake, what Ninjutsu are you going to demonstrate?"

Kakashi walked out and stood in the center of the playground.

"Earth Release: Earth Wave Technique."

There was a moment of silence in the audience.

Yuhi Shinku paused, then looked up at him. "This Ninjutsu requires a lot of Chakra."

"I know," Kakashi's voice came from behind his mask, calmly.

Yuhi Shinku glanced at him for two seconds, put down her pen, and stepped aside.

Kakashi quickly Hand Seals, finally placing his hands on the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Wave Technique."

The ground shook.

The soil in the center of the playground surged like waves, advancing from Kakashi's feet and continuing for ten meters before stopping.

The audience remained silent for a while.

The Third Hokage sat in the center, offering no comment, only nodding slightly.

"Passed." Yuhi Shinku wrote a line on the list, then looked up. "Next, Uchiha Toru."

Uchiha Toru walked out, stood in the center of the playground, and took a deep breath.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

A huge ball of flame spewed from his mouth, rapidly expanding in the air and blasting forward with a scorching shockwave.

Someone in the audience gasped in surprise.

Yuhi Shinku stood to the side, the hem of her clothes billowing in the heat.

Toru's Mother sat in the audience, her hands clasped in front of her chest, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Passed." Yuhi Shinku added a few more strokes to the list. "Next, Shin Nohara."

All eyes turned to Shin-chan.

Shin-chan stood there, his brows furrowed, as if he were pondering a difficult problem.

"Shin Nohara," Yuhi Shinku called again.

Shin-chan looked up. "Here."

What Ninjutsu are you going to demonstrate?

Shin-chan opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He lowered his head and began to think again.

Someone in the audience muttered quietly, "Could it be that he doesn't know anything?"

"No way? Didn't he already pass the previous ones?"

"The Three Body Technique is different from true Ninjutsu."
