The Training Class assessment, to put it plainly, was about demonstrating your learning achievements at the Ninja Academy as much as possible.
Even just throwing a shuriken accurately could count as passing.
To be safe, Uchiha Yu didn't attempt the Body Replacement Technique or Clone Jutsu, which he hadn't mastered very well.
He was going for something big.
His initial hand sign startled Chunin Izumo Kamizuki, who flashed over and interrupted him.
Because neither of the Three Body Techniques starts with the Snake or Ram hand signs.
Combined with the Uchiha surname, it could only be that one jutsu...
"The jutsu you're about to use, it couldn't be?"
"Yes."
Seeing Uchiha Yu nod, Izumo Kamizuki's pupils visibly constricted slightly!
He had taught many students.
While talent like Uchiha Yu wasn't unheard of, it was definitely extremely rare!
The Great Fireball Technique?
Learning a C-rank Ninjutsu before graduating...
Izumo Kamizuki hesitated for a moment, then raised his sign.
"Uchiha Yu, passed!"
"Wha- what?"
"Teacher! Why!"
"Yeah! He didn't do anything, why did he pass?"
The group of students was collectively dumbfounded!
Why was this happening?
Izumo Kamizuki usually didn't talk much. He frowned slightly, "I said he passed, so he passed."
From the crowd, a voice came, "He's from a big clan, not someone we can compare to."
The voice was extremely grating. Uchiha Yu instantly met the person's gaze.
Renji Yazaki.
A child from a civilian family.
He enrolled in the same year as Uchiha Yu and sat in the rows ahead and behind him.
The main reason for their friction was that Uchiha Yu sat to the left of the girl Renji Yazaki had a crush on, so he was constantly sour, like an overturned vinegar bottle.
If he had said this normally, Uchiha Yu would have endured it.
But he couldn't endure this insult today.
"Teacher, I'll still use that jutsu."
Seeing the students saying all sorts of things, Izumo Kamizuki nodded helplessly.
"Wait a moment..."
Saying that, he began forming hand signs!
"Water Release: Starch Syrup Capture Field!"
A sticky liquid was sprayed from Izumo Kamizuki's mouth onto the ground, quickly forming a large puddle!
The students didn't understand why the teacher was doing this.
They only heard Izumo Kamizuki shout, "Use your jutsu on the water!"
"Understood!"
Uchiha Yu stood before the puddle, his Chakra surging within him.
He took a deep breath, his hands rapidly forming hand signs, his movements fluid and precise.
His hands blurred through the air, the speed of his hand signs so fast that the students present couldn't keep up.
Snake! Ram! Monkey! Boar! Horse! Tiger!
Each sign formed was accompanied by the flow of Chakra within him.
Finally, he clasped his hands together, his Chakra concentrated in his throat. His mouth slightly parted, and a stream of scorching Chakra fluid surged from deep within his throat, gradually condensing into a fireball!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Uchiha Yu roared, pushing the fireball forward.
The fireball sliced through the air, leaving a bright trail of flame as it shot towards the puddle.
The fireball struck the water's surface, creating a deafening explosion. Flames splattered everywhere, and the water in the puddle instantly evaporated, forming a massive cloud of steam!
The heat from the flames sent a wave of heat washing over the surrounding students. They instinctively took a few steps back to avoid being burned by the flames!
The entire scene was shocking. Including Renji Yazaki, all the students stared at Uchiha Yu, dumbfounded!
What the hell is this?!
We're still on the Three Body Technique!
You're directly using a C-rank Ninjutsu, the Great Fireball?
Are we even in the same class?!
Who would have thought?
This usually low-key Uchiha Yu could actually perform such a powerful Ninjutsu!
"Ahhhh! Uchiha Yu's Great Fireball Technique is amazing!" a girl exclaimed in admiration.
"He's too incredible!" another girl said excitedly.
"How did I not notice this guy was so handsome before?" yet another girl chimed in.
"Then let's work hard too! Let's try to get into the same class as him!"
The female students who had just been fawning over Ryo Koizumi instantly became fans of Uchiha Yu.
Ryo Koizumi could only sigh, This is what a world where the strong are respected is like.
Masahachi Arai stood to the side, his face filled with disbelief.
He hadn't expected that Uchiha Yu, whom he had always thought was as ordinary as himself, possessed such astonishing strength.
Renji Yazaki's face turned pale, his earlier ridicule now seemed so laughable.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Izumo Kamizuki looked at Uchiha Yu, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this child was not only the pride of the Uchiha Clan, but also the future hope of Konoha Village.
"Uchiha Yu, your performance was outstanding," Izumo Kamizuki's voice held a trace of excitement, "Your Great Fireball Technique far surpasses your peers. You pass!"
Uchiha Yu bowed slightly in thanks.
Under the god-like gazes of his classmates, Uchiha Yu walked to the passed area.
Meanwhile, a bandaged student from the Basic Class on the sidelines muttered with a hint of envy and anger:
"Why is it that even though we both have Kekkei Genkai, my Byakugan doesn't have this effect?"
Sensing a particularly focused gaze, Uchiha Yu turned his head.
"Hmm?"
This appearance was too easy to recognize.
Even though the guy opposite him hadn't grown tall yet, those eyes with only the white parts visible proved who this kid was.
Neji Hyuga.
The genius of the Hyuga Clan.
At the same time, Pirate World Fang Yu's voice came from Uchiha Yu's mind:
"Is there any way to get the Hyuga Family's Taijutsu from him?"
Uchiha Yu replied helplessly, "Even if you get it, you might not understand how to learn it. Neji can use it because he's a genius. Even Lady Hinata only figured out the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms by the end of the series, and she used it on White Zetsu. Do you understand what I mean?"
Pirate World Fang Yu clicked his tongue, "That's too bad. I was thinking you could trade the Great Fireball for his Taijutsu!"
"But... asking him to exchange Taijutsu privately should work! If I fight him with my eyes activated, it should be an even match. I'll go ask..."
Amidst the gossiping whispers of his classmates, Uchiha Yu, who had already passed the test, headed straight for Neji Hyuga.
Neji's brows furrowed. He hadn't expected his self-imposed rival to come towards him...
He didn't just sit there and wait. He crossed his arms over his chest, ready with the starting stance of the Hyuga Family's Gentle Fist...
"Hello, I'm Uchiha Yu. I saw your eyes..."
"What do you want to do!?" Neji was highly vigilant.
"I want to spar Taijutsu with you. Let's find some time."
Neji had the arrogance of a genius and didn't take the word "spar" seriously.
He simply thought that the Uchiha, who was one year older than him, was provoking him.
"Hmph, Uchiha! In front of these eyes of mine, that technique you just used wasn't that strong!"
"Don't worry, when we spar, I won't use the Great Fireball Technique. We'll just exchange Taijutsu."
Iruka suddenly appeared from somewhere. He made an 'X' gesture at Uchiha Yu, "Please return to your class."
"Alright." Uchiha Yu nodded calmly, then glanced at Neji, who was about to become his practical experience bag, "I'll come find you."
Black lines appeared on Iruka's forehead, "Let's go, Neji, we're not paying attention to him."
