Konoha.
Ninja Academy, training grounds.
"Next..."
"The comprehensive combat assessment!"
"It will be divided into two parts: ninja tool throwing and taijutsu combat."
As Mizuki's voice fell.
Several Chunin instructors beside him quickly activated the mechanisms.
Rows of wooden targets rose at the far end of the training grounds.
There were not only stationary targets, but also blind-spot targets that moved rapidly along rails.
On the elevated platform.
Chiba shifted into a more comfortable position.
He propped his cheek on one hand and watched the eager little brats below.
Over the past six years.
Konoha's fiscal revenue had increased by more than tenfold.
With money, the Academy's resources had naturally multiplied several times over as well.
What were these students eating now?
