Naruto: The Twin Kamui's First Draw

"Exactly. Come to think of it, Su Bai is the real genius here. Coming from a commoner background and achieving results like this—if he had the same resources as Wang Qiang, wouldn't his results be even better?"

Some students were envious, some were shocked, but most were simply jealous.

Standing with the examiners were the school's teachers and leaders. Old Ma, Wang Qiang's homeroom teacher, was grinning from ear to ear.

"Haha, with these results, Wang Qiang is firmly in third place for the whole school!"

"Indeed, I don't think any other student can surpass him. Congratulations, Old Ma, your year-end bonus is going to double this year." Wang Hai smiled faintly.

The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning Su Bai and Xia Xueqing, as they had already categorized those two students separately.

But there was no helping it; they had already won first place in the Yang City Campus Tournament. While other students were still fretting over basic ninjutsu, these two were already Genin with impressive combat power...

Just then, the loudspeaker on the playground crackled to life.

"Yang City No. 4 High School, Yang Liu, Chakra Level 6.2, Three Body Technique qualified!"

This result was announced over the school broadcast, and everyone's eyes turned in unison toward the Chakra Detector at the fourth testing site, where a solitary, proud student stood.

It was Yang Liu, the Ice Release ninja who had crossed paths with Su Bai once before.

"6.2? He was only at 4.5 during the last tournament." Su Bai also looked toward Yang Liu, who spotted him in the crowd and gave a calm nod.

As expected, my talent can't compare to these true geniuses. Su Bai nodded back, weighing things in his mind.

If he didn't have his system, he might not even be able to compare to an ordinary person, let alone a genius like Yang Liu.

Although the other party had plenty of cultivation resources, increasing one's Chakra Level by over a unit in just a week was still incredibly difficult.

"Su Bai, he's very strong," Xia Xueqing said.

Su Bai nodded, looked at her, and smiled. "Xueqing, what about you? How much have you improved these past few days?"

"Hehe, you'll see in a moment." Xia Xueqing didn't answer him directly, keeping him in suspense.

Just then, while the students were still reeling from Yang Liu's results, another broadcast rang out.

"Yangcheng No. 6 High School, Luqiu Man, Chakra Level 4.9, Three Body Technique qualified!"

Another one!

The ordinary students were stunned. In previous years, having even one such genius appear was a big deal, but this year, there were two?

However, before they could recover, two more genius students were announced one after another, both with Chakra Levels around five.

There were five schools testing at the Yangcheng No. 1 High School site this time. Every other school had produced geniuses worthy of a broadcast announcement, except for Yangcheng No. 1 High School.

Strangely, however, the teachers and students of Yangcheng No. 1 High School didn't look discouraged at all; instead, their eyes held a hint of anticipation.

"Xueqing, it's your turn." The examiner called Xia Xueqing's name. Under the gaze of the crowd, the girl stepped forward and grasped the sphere on the Chakra Detector.

"Finally, the main event!"

"Yeah, Xia Xueqing is the little princess of the Byakugan Clan. What could her Chakra Level possibly be?"

"It'll definitely be higher than Yang Liu's. Don't forget, Yang Liu lost to her at the campus tournament!"

"I don't think so. A ninja's strength isn't just about Chakra Level."

The students widened their eyes, waiting to see Xia Xueqing's results.

She put away her gentle smile, her brows furrowed slightly, and a powerful aura erupted from her body!

Beep, beep, beep!

The numbers on the Chakra Detector's screen began to jump wildly!

1.9... 2.6... 4.2... 6.8...

After about five seconds, the number settled steadily at 8.3. All the students' jaws dropped!

Afterward, Xia Xueqing stepped away from the machine and quickly formed hand seals.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just a few seconds, three white puffs of smoke appeared; she had performed the Three Body Technique with perfect proficiency.

The examiner was slightly dazed, but he quickly snapped back to reality, picked up the microphone, and shouted!

"Yangcheng No. 1 High School, Xia Xueqing, Chakra Level 8.3, Three Body Technique qualified!"

Silence.

The entire playground went quiet.

About ten seconds later, a wave of cheers erupted, all calling out Xia Xueqing's name!

"Damn, she really lives up to being from a bloodline clan. These results have completely rewritten the history of our Yang City college entrance exams!"

"What was the previous highest? 6.5? That was over a decade ago, right?"

"Yes, 6.5. I remember it very clearly!"

"I thought it would be great if Xia Xueqing could just beat Yang Liu by one unit of chakra, but I didn't expect her to beat him by nearly two!"

"Sigh, we really can't compare to geniuses. The gap is just too huge!"

Xia Xueqing listened to the cheers of her classmates without a hint of arrogance, walking back to Su Bai's side with a beaming smile and a playful glint in her eyes.

"How was it? Surprised?"

"Surprised, incredibly surprised!" Su Bai laughed as well; the more outstanding the girl was, the happier he felt.

"It's your turn now. Go on up; I'm looking forward to your results too." Xia Xueqing smoothed her hair, looking at him with a charming, expectant gaze.

Su Bai took a slight breath and stepped into the Chakra Detector.

Su Bai walked into the Chakra Detector, placed his hand directly onto the spherical Chakra Conductive Metal Device, and began channeling his chakra into it.

The testing method was simple; no one knew which genius in the Federation had invented it, but it worked by digitizing the chakra channeled through the metal device and displaying the data on a screen.

Nearby, Wang Hai, Niu Jun, and Chu Yuan were all watching Su Bai, paying even closer attention than they had with Xia Xueqing. After all, Su Bai was the true result of their educational efforts.

The principal has waited too long for this day; let this be his reward! Su Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and his chakra surged like a raging river, violent and swift, flooding into the Chakra Conductive Metal Device!

3.5... 5.6... 8.3... 9.1...

The numbers on the screen jumped frantically. The fact that it started with a 3 shocked the proctoring teacher immediately!

"Damn, it's still climbing!"

The proctor stared at the screen, his eyes wide! Finally, the three digits that he hadn't seen in over twenty years of his career stabilized!

9.56 Kilo!

The proctor was stunned, standing there in a daze for a long time.

"How much? Let me see!"

"Yeah, you're killing us with the suspense!"

"Move, let me through to take a look!"

The students behind could no longer wait; they abandoned their lines and surged forward.

When they saw the number on the screen clearly... they were just like the proctor, their mouths hanging open wide enough to fit a duck egg!

9.56 Kilo?

Su Bai's Chakra Level is 9.56 Kilo?

Is he still a student? Is he in the same class as us?

Su Bai stepped out of the machine, bypassed his stunned classmates, and arrived before the proctor.

"Teacher, may I begin the Three Body Technique?"

"Ah? Oh, oh, please, Student Su Bai!" The proctor's tone had changed unconsciously, and he hurriedly gestured for him to begin. Su Bai immediately started forming hand seals.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just five or six seconds—even faster than Xia Xueqing—Su Bai completed the Three Body Technique and stood there, silently waiting for the proctor to hand him his form.

The proctor took a deep breath, put on a serious expression, picked up the microphone nearby, and announced in a booming voice!

"Su Bai, Yangcheng No. 1 High School, Chakra Level 9.56 Kilo, Three Body Technique passed!"

The resounding voice echoed across the entire playground. Every student and teacher stopped what they were doing, turned their heads stiffly toward Exam Site No. 2, their eyes filled with disbelief!

Yang Liu clenched his fists, then relaxed them, his cold face replaced by a look of resignation.

Niu Jun's tiger-like eyes brightened, a glint of something appearing in them as he nodded repeatedly while watching Su Bai!

Wang Hai was already dumbfounded.

He knew Su Bai was outstanding, and he knew Su Bai was his proudest student, but he hadn't realized that Su Bai was many times more exceptional than he had imagined!

At this moment, his heart was filled with nothing but pure, unadulterated excitement.

When Xia Xueqing had broken the Yangcheng college entrance exam record earlier, he had been pleased, but not moved.

That was because he knew those were the results Xia Xueqing was destined to achieve, and they had nothing to do with Yangcheng No. 1 High School or himself!

But Su Bai...

"Heh, haha, well done, Su Bai!" Wang Hai laughed out loud, waving his arms vigorously, completely disregarding his status as a teacher!

Normally, the proctor only needed to announce the results once, but as if possessed, he added one more sentence on his own.

"Su Bai, the strongest student in Yangcheng's history. The official records of Yangcheng will preserve this result forever, forever!"

The proctor's flushed face was full of excitement, and his hands trembled slightly as he handed the form to Su Bai.

"Su Bai, keep working hard. I look forward to the near future when our Yangcheng can produce another Jonin-level powerhouse!"

"Thank you, Teacher. I will." Su Bai nodded earnestly and took the form.

"Principal, how about that? I told you my junior wouldn't let you down," Chu Yuan said with a laugh to Niu Jun.

"True, he is excellent. This old man has misjudged him," Niu Jun sighed. Like Wang Hai, he had underestimated Su Bai's potential.

He had never imagined that Su Bai could achieve a result for the school that had been beyond all expectations—shattering the entire college entrance examination record for Yangcheng No. 1 High School!

"I suspect that, from here on out, no one in all of Yangcheng will ever be able to break this record again."

"That is certain; at the very least, no one from our Yangcheng No. 1 High School will," Chu Yuan echoed, his gaze shifting toward Su Bai, who was standing beside Xia Xueqing.

"Principal, such a fine talent, I was thinking..."

"You want to take him to the Wasteland Zone, don't you?"

Niu Jun was a wily old fox, and since Chu Yuan was his former student, he knew exactly what the man was going to say the moment he saw the look on his face.

"Yes, that is exactly what I mean," Chu Yuan continued. "Jade must be carved to become a masterpiece; greenhouses only produce flowers. Since Su Bai possesses such talent, we cannot let it go to waste. Therefore, I have decided to take him to the Wasteland Zone early for some practical experience. It is vital for his future growth!"

"But have you considered the safety risks?" Niu Jun hesitated. "In the Wasteland Zone, even a seasoned Genin like you has to tread carefully. Su Bai... he is still just a student."

The Wasteland Zone had another name: the paradise of the Magic Beast.

It was crawling with Magic Beast, fraught with danger, and every year, countless ninja left their lives behind in the Wasteland Zone!

In the Wasteland Zone, a Genin was nothing more than cannon fodder, a Chunin could barely manage to hold their ground, and only a powerful Jonin could come and go as they pleased, as if they were merely watching fish or admiring flowers.

Niu Jun worried that Su Bai, a student with no combat experience, might meet with an accident; after all, this old principal valued his talent far too much!

Who would have thought that Chu Yuan would say just one sentence that made Niu Jun change his mind.

"Principal... you have grown old. The sharp edge you once possessed is no longer there," Chu Yuan said quietly.

Niu Jun was stunned, then burst into a long, hearty laugh before finally composing himself.

"You are right. So many years in the education system have dulled this old blade of mine. It is the era of you young people now."

"Go. You are right—greenhouses can only raise flowers, they cannot cultivate the strong!"

Chu Yuan smiled upon hearing this, the movement stretching the long scar on his neck, giving him a somewhat ferocious appearance!
