Genin Exam Ends

Sakura looked at Qingcheng, who was watching her, and her face lit up with joy again. She thought to herself, very excitedly:

"The Hokage has been looking at me the whole time, I'm so excited! He's so kind and gentle. My family can never repay the Hokage's kindness, how can I ever repay him? I heard the Hokage likes children, maybe I could have a child for Hokage someday..."

The Director Takemasa, holding up a sign, looked at the dazed Sakura and offered a reminder:

"Haruno Sakura's exam content includes Water Release Ninjutsu, Clone Technique, Transformation Jutsu, and Substitution Technique."

Upon hearing the exam content, Sakura immediately snapped out of her reverie, hummed in agreement, and cheered herself on. She quickly formed hand seals and shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

With a bang, a plume of white smoke rose from the ground, and a Shadow Clone of Sakura appeared out of thin air in the spot.

Seeing Sakura use another C-rank Water Release Ninjutsu, the Director Takemasa immediately said, "Haruno Sakura passed the exam."

Qingcheng watched as Sakura, her face beaming with smiles, slowly left the examination platform, thinking to himself:

"It seems like Sakura is starting to pay attention to her figure. Does she also want to grow and improve?"

Sighing, Qingcheng mentally complained, "But my system has disappeared, and I can't get any rewards, so I've just given up and am too lazy to move. I usually let Tsunade the misi. I've been training in Shikkotsu Forest all these years, and even the system has drifted away from me. Can you blame me for not working hard enough?"

When Qingcheng resurrected the entire Uchiha Clan, the system didn't even make a sound, so the conclusion is that things have likely drifted further apart.

There's another possibility: that its obsession has been eliminated, the entire Uchiha Clan has been resurrected, and the system, feeling it has no reason to exist, simply disappears.

Qingcheng didn't have any particular thoughts in mind, because at his current level, even if he continued to grind the system, he wouldn't get any decent rewards. Returning to the Shikkotsu Forest to continue cultivating and upgrade his Advanced Sage Body to a Supreme Sage Body was the most important thing.

Soon, the Director Takemasa read out Yamanaka Ino, then added, "Exam content: Water Release Ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Substitution Technique."

Ino immediately walked up to the examination platform, smiled slightly, and called out to the podium, "Greetings, teachers! Greetings, Fifth Hokage! The exam is about to begin!"

Immediately afterwards, Ino first used Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, followed by Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet. Both Ninjutsu were very powerful, earning her an excellent rating.

Ino's face lit up with a smile upon hearing that she had received an excellent grade. She started gesturing wildly and shouted directly at Qingcheng on the podium, "Thank you for your guidance, Master... Uh, sorry, Hokage- sama, I had a dream yesterday, and now I'm talking nonsense."

Principal Kankan and the other teachers were all taken aback upon hearing this, and they all exclaimed in surprise, "The Hokage has taken on a disciple? How come we didn't know?"

Seeing the embarrassed Ino, Qingcheng waved his hand, first signaling Ino to leave, then said with a smile:

"Ino, are you calling for Kakashi? I must say, you have great taste, and Kakashi is a very good teacher,"

Kakashi, hearing himself blamed again, looked completely bewildered, thinking to himself, "The Hokage really is something else; he took me in as a student, but he won't acknowledge it at all."

The news of Qingcheng taking on disciples was kept extremely secret; very few people in the entire Konoha knew about it. There were two reasons for this.

Firstly, disciples taken in during the Shinobi World are prone to rebellion, often killing their masters to prove their own righteousness. Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi both achieved this through their disciples.

Although Ino is very obedient, Qingcheng doesn't want his little disciple to become a Daoist, so he makes Ino call him Master. And this Master is particularly interesting; he must be respectful to his teacher and not have any rebellious tendencies.

The second reason is that if Qingcheng takes on a disciple, the other ninja clans will find out. The very next day, a whole bunch of people might come knocking with gifts, wanting to become their disciples—that would be absolutely explosive!

All of Qingcheng, thinking of their own family's interests, told Ino to keep it a secret for now, not to make a fuss about it outside, and not to spread it around.

This was just a minor incident; the Director Takemasa, holding the list, continued calling students out for the exam.

The next students were Shikamaru Nara and Akimichi Choji. Both of them demonstrated their clan's Ninjutsu and received a passing grade.

Next, it was Karin Uzumaki's turn to take the exam. Karin slowly walked to the platform and used the Uzumaki Clan's Kekkei Genkai Ninjutsu, "Chakra Chains, Adamantine Chains,"

On the examination platform, the Chakra chains flying everywhere amazed a group of elementary school students taking the exam, who were all whispering among themselves.

"Karin Uzumaki's Ninjutsu is absolutely amazing! How did she do it? Carrying such a huge bundle of iron chains, doesn't her back ache?"

A chubby boy with a shrewd expression looked at Karin's Chakra chains with envy. "Wow, these huge iron chains are amazing! If I acknowledge her as my boss, can I have half of them?"

Then, Director Takemasa also gave Karin an excellent score.

As Karin stepped off the stage, she blew Sasuke a kiss and said with great enthusiasm, "Hurry up and accept my confession!"

Sasuke, still locked in a staring contest with Naruto, was stunned by the sudden kiss; his Kakuzu twitched.

Naruto, seeing Sasuke's resentful expression, burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. He then blurted out, "Hahaha!"

"Sasuke, your art style is inferior to mine. I am the number one genius of Konoha."

Sasuke snorted coldly, completely ignoring Naruto. He crossed his arms, turned his head to the side, and said with a haughty expression:

"You born stupid, Big Idiot Naruto, your art style is nowhere near as good as a single hair on my head,"

The Director Takemasa then read out the names of several more students: Sai and his brother, Sashin. Sai then used Ink Release: Super Beast Imitation Drawing.

Sashin used Wind Release Ninjutsu, and both of them received an excellent score.

The final candidate, Senju Nawaki, performed a Water Release: Water Pillar Jutsu on the examination platform, earning a passing grade and successfully becoming a Genin.

Naruto looked at Nawaki, his heart filled with joy, and he shouted happily, "Uncle, you've become Genin too! I'm so touched! We can chase each other now!"

Nawaki, a Genin of fossil-like quality, was so ashamed by Naruto's shout that he wanted to disappear. He covered his face with one hand and said with great resentment, "You Big Idiot Naruto, what are you doing? Don't shout like that. Are you trying to kill your uncle?"

Sasuke saw Nawaki and his face was full of disdain. He said with great disgust, "You should be the Big Idiot Nawa, and you still have the nerve to look down on the Second Idiot Naruto."

Naruto yelled at Sasuke, "Uchiha Sasuke, what do you mean? This is my cousin! You can insult me, but you can't insult my cousin!"

A group of elementary school students were discussing who this Senju Nawaki was, and the whole exam hall became chaotic.

The Director Takemasa, known as "Childhood Sweetheart," roared, "Silence! This is an examination hall!"

Immediately after the shout, the entire examination hall fell silent again.

Principal Kankan, seeing the silence, said seriously, "Director Mayumi, distribute Konoha Forehead Protector to these students who passed the exam."

Immediately afterward, Principal Kankan clapped his hands and said respectfully, "Hokage- sama, please tell these children about the Will of Fire. Every word you say is a precious treasure for these children."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng slowly stood up, gave everyone a thumbs-up, and acknowledged the Fifth Hokage's approval.

Qingcheng clapped lightly, a smile on his face, and said:

"Dear teachers and students taking the exams, thank you for your hard work. In this season of harvest, I, the Hokage, wish you soaring success. Remember my words: Where leaves dance, flames burn eternally, burning away enemies and illuminating the village."

All the elementary school students looked excited upon hearing the Hokage's words, and they shouted in unison, "Where the leaves dance, the flames burn eternally, burning the enemy and illuminating the village! Long live Konoha!"

Kakashi looked at the children whose art style had suddenly changed, and was slightly taken aback. Then he began to clap his hands, thinking to himself:

"At this rate, will these kids grow up to be war Mad Demon? Maybe the Hokage will really go to the moon, and then I'll really become the super invincible Cosmic War God. Grand General King. Is that an appropriate title?"
