Konoha's physical training methods could also be called Konoha-Style Taijutsu.
Besides Taijutsu, there was also Konoha-Style Kenjutsu.
Following the illustrations in the scroll, Su Yu began training in Taijutsu.
The illustrations made him feel as if he were studying some kind of martial arts manual.
During class, he listened attentively.
After class, he quietly read.
At lunchtime, Su Yu would leave his seat and go practice Taijutsu.
This continued for several days, and his classmates didn't bother him much.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Yu's Taijutsu reached the beginner level. He no longer needed to follow the scroll's instructions; he had memorized every move in the style.
The Genin exam arrived as scheduled.
This time, they had to perform the Clone Technique.
His Three Body Technique was at the third rank, an advanced beginner level, just short of mastery. Naturally, he passed the Genin exam with ease.
By his own ranking system, ranks one through three were beginner, four through six were proficient, seven through nine were expert, and rank ten was perfection.
Iruka was very pleased with Su Yu's performance as he watched his clone.
"Congratulations, Su Yu. From now on, you're a Genin of Konoha."
"Thank you, Iruka-sensei." Su Yu bowed to Iruka and accepted his Genin Forehead Protector.
"Congratulations, Host! You have completed the advancement mission!"
"A new achievement list has been unlocked. Please check it yourself."
The system's notification sounded.
Su Yu left the exam room and headed out of the school, wearing his Genin Forehead Protector.
After the Genin exam, they were free to do as they pleased. They only had to return the next day for the graduation ceremony and team assignments.
He hurried all the way home.
After entering his bedroom,
Su Yu eagerly opened the achievement list on the virtual screen.
Ten achievements appeared at once.
1. Throw 1,000 times
2. Reach beginner level in the Shadow Possession Technique
3. Reach beginner level in Tree Climbing
4. Reach beginner level in Water Surface Walking
5. Reach beginner level in Taijutsu (completed)
6. Obtain ten Explosive Tags
7. Obtain three Kunai
8. Kill ten beasts
9. Defeat a Genin once
10. Complete all the achievements above
"The achievements have definitely gotten harder." Su Yu looked at the list of ten and wasn't too surprised.
The first ten achievements could be completed by an ordinary person with a little effort.
These ten really did require a Genin's skill to accomplish.
After checking the list, he took all the money his parents had left behind and headed to the ninja tool shop.
Genin were allowed to buy Explosive Tags and Kunai.
At one of Konoha's training grounds,
there were special targets for practicing throwing techniques.
Su Yu bought Kunai and Explosive Tags at the ninja tool shop, completing two achievements, then immediately went to the training ground to practice throwing.
He took turns throwing his three Kunai, barely stopping at all.
At first, he was clumsy, but gradually his throws drew closer to the bull's-eye.
It took about three hundred throws.
By the time he'd thrown five hundred times,
he could hit the bull's-eye.
By the time he'd thrown seven hundred times,
he was hitting seven out of ten.
By the time he'd thrown a thousand times,
he had thrown all three Kunai in succession, and every one struck the bull's-eye.
By then, the sun was setting.
Su Yu rolled his shoulders and felt a dull ache in his arms.
A smile appeared on his face.
After half a day of training, his throwing technique had reached at least the beginner level.
Su Yu headed to Ichiraku Ramen.
When he arrived at Ichiraku Ramen,
he spotted Naruto Uzumaki at a glance.
Naruto didn't have a Forehead Protector.
That proved he hadn't passed the Genin exam.
Su Yu silently took the seat beside Naruto.
Naruto looked up at him, his gaze lingering on Su Yu's Forehead Protector for several seconds.
"Boss, I'll have a bowl of chashu ramen," Su Yu said to Uncle Ichiraku.
"Sure, just a moment." Uncle Ichiraku smiled and started preparing it.
"Su Yu, could you... could you teach me how to pass the Genin exam?" Naruto asked.
"I can't teach you. Your situation is completely different from mine." Su Yu shook his head.
Naruto's eyes dimmed at those words.
Su Yu saw his expression but said nothing.
When the ramen was served,
Naruto left Ichiraku Ramen.
As Su Yu ate, the opening events of Naruto came to mind.
If he wasn't mistaken, Naruto was about to steal the Scroll of Sealing.
Should I go take a look? A thought crossed Su Yu's mind.
Then he dismissed the idea.
There was no way Naruto's success in stealing the Scroll of Sealing was just a coincidence. Perhaps the Third Hokage had arranged the whole thing.
What if an Anbu member was following Naruto?
If Su Yu followed him to sneak a look at the Scroll of Sealing, the Anbu would definitely drag him away.
"Wait, I don't think I need to worry..."
Su Yu was about to eat some more noodles when a sudden inspiration struck him, and he thought of another possibility.
With that, he stood up, paid, and left.
Uncle Ichiraku watched Su Yu leave. After a moment's hesitation, he seemed to understand.
"Looks like Naruto's made a friend."
Su Yu soon caught up with Naruto.
Naruto had snuck into the Hokage Office.
Before long,
he came out with the Scroll of Sealing.
Su Yu hurried after him.
They arrived in the forest, one following the other.
Naruto found a secluded spot and opened the Scroll of Sealing.
Seeing this, Su Yu appeared in front of him.
Naruto jumped in fright. When he saw it was Su Yu, he froze.
"Naruto, is that the Scroll of Sealing?" Su Yu asked, looking at the scroll in his hands.
"Th-this isn't..." Naruto's eyes darted away, and he couldn't bring himself to look at Su Yu.
The words "Scroll of Sealing" were clearly written on it.
"If you took the Scroll of Sealing, Lord Hokage must be worried. Let's return it together," Su Yu said.
"Su Yu, I can't return it. I want to pass the Genin exam, and there must be a way to do it in the Scroll of Sealing." Naruto hugged the scroll tightly.
"All right, then let me take a look too. Afterward, we can return it together," Su Yu said after a moment's thought.
"Thank you, Su Yu!" Naruto exclaimed happily and opened the Scroll of Sealing.
Su Yu went over to Naruto.
Naruto found the Multi Shadow Clone Technique and started training. He handed the Scroll of Sealing to Su Yu.
Su Yu began reading further.
The Eight Inner Gates and Impure World Reincarnation were both recorded in it.
Su Yu didn't look at them and continued flipping through the scroll.
When he reached the end, he finally found the ninjutsu he wanted most.
The Flying Thunder God Technique!
Su Yu quickly memorized how to train in the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Then he looked at Naruto.
Less than an hour had passed. Judging by the timing, the Third Hokage should be making his move soon.
If they stayed here, they would definitely trigger the plot.
Su Yu didn't want to fight Mizuki.
"Naruto, we should go," he said.
"Go? Where are you going?" a voice suddenly called out.
