Genin Ninjutsu Exam

As soon as Qingcheng, Kakashi, and the others entered the large examination hall...

A cheer erupted in the examination hall. Principal Kankan, along with a group of the Ninja Academy teachers, stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Long live the Hokage! Long live Konoha!"

Seeing the enthusiastic crowd, Qingcheng waved his hand, laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and said with great appreciation:

"Principal Kankan, Director Takemasa, Director Mayumi, and Iruka-sensei, all of you teachers have worked hard. The Konoha High Command has seen this year's graduates, and they are all significantly stronger than in previous years."

Kakashi, standing behind Qingcheng, began clapping his hands. Looking at the students taking the exam, he smiled slightly and said with obvious approval:

"Hokage, you are absolutely right. The students graduating this year are indeed exceptionally talented."

After saying that, Kakashi glanced at Qingcheng again and nodded slightly, indicating his approval.

Principal Kankan and the other teachers were delighted to hear the Hokage's praise. Smiling broadly, they all said, "Thank you for the praise, Hokage- sama. It's our duty; educating these students is the responsibility of our Ninja Academy."

Qingcheng looked at the students below the podium; there were probably over eight hundred of them. Among them were Naruto Uzumaki Uchiha Sasuke Ino Sakura, Choji, Choji, Shikamaru, Uchiha Harumi, and others... The total number was roughly eight hundred.

All the students looked excited at Qingcheng's arrival. Everyone was ready to perform well, get excellent grades, and leave a good impression on the Hokage.

Even troublemakers like Naruto and Sasuke looked completely obedient, internally encouraging themselves to get good grades this time.

Most of the students looked at the Fifth Hokage with respect, secretly thinking, "I must work hard and strive to become Elite Jonin of Konoha."

Principal Kankan looked at Qingcheng, who was smiling, hummed in agreement, cleared his throat, and then scanned all the students below the stage before shouting with a serious expression:

"Hokage himself is here to observe, everyone must give their all and complete this year's graduation exam."

The students preparing for the Ninjutsu exam were all eager to try, standing to one side of their seats, waiting for the upcoming Genin Exam.

Seeing that all the students were ready, Qingcheng was secretly pleased and thought to himself, "These Konoha students are already eager to become Genin and contribute their labor to Konoha, haha."

Clap clap clap, Qingcheng began clapping, smiling as he shouted, "This Hokage congratulates you all! May your path as ninjas be smooth sailing, may the second year bring good fortune, and may the third... the Genin Exam begin immediately!"

Qingcheng momentarily forgot about idioms containing the number three, so he simply shouted, "The exam begins!"

The Principal Kankan and all the teachers started clapping, clap clap clap, clap clap clap.

Principal Kankan: "Thank you for your speech, Hokage -sama Genin Exam will begin immediately."

Director Takemasa took out a list and, calling out the names on it, began calling out students to start the exam.

"First one, Kiba Inuzuka, exam subjects: Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Substitution Technique. Exam begins."

Kiba Inuzuka, accompanied by a small white dog, walked directly to the center of the podium, looking eager and ready to pounce, and shouted:

"Dear teachers, Principal Kankan Tamaki, and esteemed Hokage, I shall begin the exam. This is my partner, Akamaru."

The little white dog next to Kiba Inuzuka barked, then barked a few more times at the principal on the podium, indicating that it was ready too.

Qingcheng watched Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru howling there, and thought to himself:

"What techniques did the First Hokage learn? Three Fang Over Fang Over Fang, the power of which is roughly equivalent to a flying kick from a young Naruto. Therefore, Ninjutsu with fangs usually isn't very powerful, and the damage is quite pitiful."

Kiba Inuzuka shouted to Akamaru, "Let's go!" and then began forming hand Hand Seals, chanting, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

With a bang, Akamaru instantly transformed into Kiba Inuzuka. Two Kiba Inuzuka on the exam platform—this was hardly a human pyramid!

Then the two of them joined forces and unleashed a powerful attack, "Fang Over Fang," which spun in the air like cutting through bricks.

Director Takemasa immediately began grading, then held up a sign and shouted with a serious expression, "Exam over! Kiba Inuzuka has passed. Next candidate, please sit down and prepare."

Kiba Inuzuka's face lit up with excitement upon hearing that he had passed, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, teachers!"

"Hahaha, "Kiba Inuzuka laughed again at his Akamaru, his face beaming with excitement, "Akamaru, we did it! We did it!"

Akamaru: "Woof woof, woof woof,"

Qingcheng looked at the second student, a fair-skinned child wearing a hat, with a shy expression. He began by saying, "Hokage- sama, hello teachers, my name is Oumaru, and I'm about to begin the exam."

Qingcheng had already made his judgment about this child: he was just a minor cannon fodder character, better left in Konoha as a pawn to be exploited! Otherwise, he'd become one of that one percent chance.

Why did Qingcheng say that? It's because this child is too bad. He can't even use a Shadow Clone Jutsu, and his demonstration of Water Release Ninjutsu was utterly terrible.

Oumaru didn't disappoint. After spitting out a small jet of water, he ran out of Chakra. Then he grunted, pretended to form hand Hand Seals, and shouted, "Water Release: Big Spit Jutsu!"

With a "plop" sound, he increased the volume of water using saliva and phlegm.

Director Takemasa immediately pulled out a yellow card, held it high above his head, and said with a look of disgust, "Throw him out. He failed the test. Get someone to clean up. The test will start again later."

Principal Kankan blushed, glanced at Qingcheng, and said with a look of shame:

"I'm sorry, Hokage, but this child's aptitude is too poor. This year is the best year yet. If he fails this exam, he'll be sent home and have to buy char siu rice there."

Qingcheng nodded, his face darkening. He was also astonished by that Big Spit Jutsu, and in his mind he was still frantically complaining:

"This Ninjutsu doesn't do much damage, but it's extremely humiliating. How did he manage to fill his mouth with saliva and spit it seven or eight meters away? That's even more ridiculous than Super Big Ball Rasenshuriken!"

Qingcheng, hearing Principal Kankan's explanation, nodded and said with a smile, "No need for further words, let's continue the exam. I still want to see the biodiversity."

Principal Kankan exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Hokage, this..."
