Assessment

The day of the assessment finally arrived; it was a crisp and breezy day.

Hyuga Kamizuki climbed off his tatami mat early to begin the morning routine he performed every single day: morning exercises, changing clothes, washing up, eating breakfast, and heading out.

Since the school had scheduled the assessment for a weekend, there wouldn't be many people around campus today.

Upon arriving at the school, Kamizuki realized, damn it, he had come way too early.

With nothing to do, he wasn't actually worried about the assessment, as it was, after all, just a test to become a genin.

The assessment prepared for Kamizuki today consisted of four subjects: ninja theory, proficiency with ninja tools, the ability to perform various basic hand seals, and the flexible application of the Three Body Technique.

In truth, the difficulty had been slightly increased because Kamizuki was graduating early.

A standard graduation exam only required proficiency in the Three Body Technique; there was no need for those little brats who weren't even genin yet to reach a level of "flexible application."

However, even with the school intentionally raising the bar, it wasn't much of a challenge for the current Kamizuki. As long as he performed normally, there would be no issues at all.

The morning was dedicated to the theory exam. Since there was a vast amount of theoretical material, the entire morning was spent testing it.

Kamizuki possessed a photographic memory, so he felt no pressure regarding textbook knowledge. However, he didn't want to display such shocking talent that it would draw unwanted attention to himself, so he deliberately made a few mistakes on insignificant questions during the exam.

After the theory exam concluded, Kamizuki returned home, had lunch, rested for a bit, and then headed back to school.

At two o'clock sharp, inside the No. 3 Training Ground—the largest at the Konoha Ninja School—Kamizuki's practical ninjutsu exam officially began.

To Kamizuki's surprise, the teacher proctoring his practical exam turned out to be an old acquaintance. (Though, of course, this was only his own assumption.)

The teacher proctoring his practical exam was none other than Umino Iruka.

When Iruka saw Kamizuki, he gave a slight nod, and Kamizuki returned the gesture in kind. That was the extent of their greeting.

After the greeting, Iruka didn't waste any time and signaled for Kamizuki to begin the exam.

Over the course of the afternoon, Kamizuki finally finished the remaining three subjects of the assessment.

The exam went very smoothly. Kamizuki's performance left Iruka dumbfounded. He recalled his own time as a student at the ninja school, where he had basically been a dead last, and now, comparing himself to this monster...

Damn it! It was truly too terrifying. QAQ The sour, bitter feeling in Iruka's heart had reached the heavens. It was simply the difference between a human and a dog; there was no comparison!

After the assessment, Iruka told him to come to the school on Monday to find his homeroom teacher, where he would learn the results and the subsequent arrangements.

Walking home alone, Kamizuki reflected on the day's assessment process. He felt he had done quite well.

He would pass the assessment without appearing too abnormal; it was safe to say his performance was just "excellent."

As soon as he returned home, his sister, Hinata, ran up to him, pulling at him and asking all sorts of questions—how did the test go? Were the questions hard? Things like that.

Looking at his cute sister, Kamizuki felt his heart warm, knowing that every single question was filled with genuine concern.

The next day, Kamizuki arrived at the school and went to Sugita Tsubaki's office.

At that moment, Sugita Tsubaki was at her desk, flipping through a stack of documents.

Sugita Tsubaki was still wearing that alluring office lady outfit. Kamizuki remembered that ever since he started school, she had never worn anything else during class hours.

Kamizuki walked slowly toward her desk, but after only a few steps, his gaze was drawn to a pair of long legs.

They were encased in black, transparent, over-the-knee stockings. They were slender where they should be slender and had curves where they should have curves; in short, they were perfectly proportioned.

As he walked toward the desk, Kamizuki calculated internally that if he could play with those legs, he could play with them for many years.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

Seeing this little brat, not even six years old yet, staring straight at her long legs with those little eyes, Sugita Tsubaki couldn't help but curse inwardly: You little pervert! How old are you? You haven't even grown your hair out yet, and you're already trying to take advantage of me.

However, she wore a mischievous smirk on her face. After coughing twice, she said, "You little... pervert—" She almost blurted out the name she had for him in her heart, but fortunately, she stopped in time.

After a slight pause, she continued, "Little brat, have you seen enough?"

When Kamizuki heard her ask that, his little face turned as red as a tomato, rivaling Hinata's.

He answered nervously, "I... I... I've seen enough."

Watching Kamizuki's nervous, shy appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

The two remained silent for a moment in a very awkward atmosphere.

Only then did Sugita Tsubaki retract her mischievous expression, replacing it with a serious and professional face. She picked up the document she had been holding and began to read it to Kamizuki.

Uh! Those documents were too formal and bureaucratic, a bit hard for a modern person to understand, so I'll just summarize the general meaning here.

That was the author's internal monologue.

The gist of the document was:

Student Hyuga Kamizuki, during his time at the Konoha Ninja School, achieved outstanding academic results and excelled in all ninja skills. On this day, in this month, of this year, following a school assessment, the student has achieved excellent results. In the name of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hyuga Kamizuki is hereby approved to become a genin of Konoha. That is all!

That was the general content of the document. After reading it, Sugita Tsubaki spoke to Kamizuki.

So I wasted my afternoon, typing for the whole afternoon, only to delete it and rewrite it! Wuwuwuwu...

Alright! Finally finished writing this chapter. I hope everyone likes it. I haven't eaten yet! So hungry, going to eat!
