Chapter Summary: “Application for Early Graduation”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Sasuke tells Yashui that he will graduate from the Ninja Academy in one month and become a ninja. He calls Yashui his best friend, but this alarms Yashui because of Itachi’s teaching that Sasuke must kill his best friend to awaken greater power.
• Yashui realizes that Sasuke’s graduation marks the period shortly before the events of Naruto. He also learns that, unlike the original timeline, there is still a month before graduation rather than only a day.
• While practicing hand seals, Yashui suddenly discovers that he has become highly proficient. He concludes that activating his Sharingan allows him to absorb or access knowledge and skills, including ninjutsu methods, routes, and hand-seal techniques.
• Inspired by Sasuke and his desire to belong in this unfamiliar world, Yashui decides to attempt early graduation so he can join Naruto and the others.
• On his way home, Yashui sees Naruto cleaning the graffiti from the Hokage Rock, confirming that the story’s timeline is near the beginning of Naruto. He questions whether this world is an alternate version of the original because his existence and the altered graduation schedule do not match canon.
• At home, Yashui meets Asuma, who is visiting the Third Hokage and dealing with Konohamaru’s attempts to defeat him and become Hokage.
• Yashui formally asks the Third Hokage for permission to graduate early. The Hokage explains the academic, physical, and ninjutsu requirements, then agrees to let Asuma test Yashui the following day.
• Asuma is distressed because he had planned to spend his day off on a date with Kurenai, but the Hokage assigns him to evaluate Yashui instead.

Character Development

• Yashui: Becomes more confident and proactive. Rather than merely adapting to the world, he forms his own goal: graduating alongside Sasuke, Naruto, and the others. He also begins to understand the mysterious abilities of his Sharingan and recognizes that his personal desires differ from those of the body’s original owner.
• Sasuke: Displays affection and trust toward Yashui by calling him his best friend, while also showing his determination to prepare for the dangers of becoming a ninja. His remarks unintentionally evoke the threat of Itachi’s teachings.
• Third Hokage: Acts as Yashui’s guardian and evaluates his request seriously. He is supportive but insists that Yashui prove his readiness through a formal test.
• Asuma: Is introduced as the Hokage’s son and Yashui’s uncle. Though initially friendly, he becomes an unwilling examiner when his personal plans are interrupted.
• Konohamaru: Continues his familiar ambition to defeat the Hokage and become Hokage himself, and appears inspired—or challenged—by Yashui’s application.

Significant Themes

• Identity and belonging: Yashui’s wish to graduate early reflects his need to find a place in a world where he does not belong naturally.
• Changing fate and alternate timelines: Differences from the original story suggest that Yashui’s presence has altered events or that this is a parallel version of the Naruto world.
• Power and responsibility: Yashui’s Sharingan grants him sudden knowledge, but he must determine whether that power is enough to justify entering the dangerous life of a ninja.
• Friendship and danger: Sasuke’s declaration of friendship is both emotionally meaningful and threatening because of the influence of Itachi’s philosophy.
• Self-determination: Yashui begins acting on his own wishes rather than simply following the expectations of the original body or the established storyline.

Chapter Summary: “Worth a Try”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Third Hokage establishes that Yashui must pass a written test before graduating, but because Yashui seeks early graduation, he will also face a more demanding practical examination conducted by Asuma.
• The likely practical tests include all six basic ninja skills: taijutsu, shurikenjutsu, genjutsu dispelling, Transformation Technique, Substitution Technique, and Clone Technique.
• Yashui is already proficient in taijutsu, shurikenjutsu, and the Clone Technique. His Sharingan also gives him enough genjutsu resistance to pass that portion easily.
• His main difficulties are the Transformation and Substitution Techniques, which are simple to perform but normally require considerable practice to use effectively.
• Yashui realizes that activating the Sharingan can transfer unfamiliar knowledge and practical proficiency into his mind. He decides to experiment with this ability rather than risk failing the exam.
• In his darkened room, Yashui activates the Sharingan and quickly learns both techniques. He successfully transforms into the Third Hokage and uses the Substitution Technique to exchange places with a life-sized Enma doll.
• Confident that he can pass Asuma’s test, Yashui reflects on how easily he has gained power. He worries that depending too heavily on the Sharingan will make him lazy and resolves to rely on it less in the future.
• Meanwhile, Asuma and the Third Hokage discuss Yashui while walking together. The Third Hokage asks Asuma’s opinion of him, and Asuma reveals that he intends to make the examination particularly difficult.

Character Developments

• Yashui: Demonstrates intelligence, caution, and adaptability. He uses the Sharingan creatively to overcome his lack of training but also recognizes the danger of becoming dependent on shortcuts. His growing self-awareness leads him to resolve to work harder independently.
• Asuma: Appears relaxed and skeptical, but he is taking Yashui seriously. He intends to challenge him rigorously, partly because of concerns about Yashui’s growing closeness to another powerful Uchiha.
• The Third Hokage: Continues to monitor Yashui carefully. Although he recognizes Yashui and Konohamaru’s potential, he remains cautious about Yashui’s rapid advancement and the political implications of Uchiha relationships.
• Konohamaru: Does not appear directly, but the Third Hokage describes him and Yashui as unusually independent children who may one day help support Konoha.

Significant Themes

• Effort versus shortcuts: Yashui gains abilities instantly through the Sharingan but questions whether effortless progress will weaken his discipline.
• Power and responsibility: His abilities make advancement possible, but they also attract suspicion and require him to consider the consequences of his connections and actions.
• Practical mastery versus theoretical knowledge: The chapter emphasizes that knowing the hand seals for a technique is very different from applying it effectively in combat.
• Trust and political suspicion: Asuma’s concerns reflect Konoha’s lingering fear of the Uchiha clan and the potential danger of two powerful Uchiha becoming close allies.

Character Interactions

• Yashui and his own conscience: Yashui’s most important interaction is internal; after succeeding easily, he questions his growing reliance on the Sharingan.
• Asuma and the Third Hokage: Their casual conversation mixes familial familiarity with serious political concern. The Hokage trusts Yashui’s potential, while Asuma plans to test him harshly because of his connection to another Uchiha.
• Yashui and the Enma doll: Yashui uses the doll as a substitute target, proving that he can apply the technique in practice rather than merely understand it theoretically.

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• The Third Hokage and Asuma discuss Yashui’s adoption into the Sarutobi family. The Hokage insists that Yashui no longer needs to bear his former “sinful” surname, but Asuma suspects there may be a hidden reason behind the adoption.

• Zhi ambushes Yashui at the training ground, knocks off his sunglasses, and attempts to inspect his eyes. Yashui recognizes that the Anbu is vastly stronger than him and becomes paralyzed by the operative’s killing intent.
• Iruka intervenes, placing himself between Yashui and the Anbu. The Anbu pretends he was merely returning Yashui’s glasses, then leaves after Iruka orders him to disappear.
• Once the Anbu is gone, Iruka collapses from fear and exhaustion, revealing how overwhelming the encounter was even for him.

Character developments

• Yashui becomes more self-aware about his dependence on his special eyes. He decides that true strength requires training rather than simply relying on his abilities, but he is still far too weak to confront Danzo’s Anbu directly.
