Araki nodded, then looked in the direction of Karen Kaede-sensei. His eyes flashed with a sharp light like a hawk's as he quickly examined the features of Karen Kaede-sensei's face.
After being stared at with such an almost brazen gaze, Sarutobi Karen Kaede suddenly felt a little shy, and a bashful expression appeared on her face. However, she did not lower her head, after all, she could not cause any obstacles to Araki's graduation exam.
The next moment.
Araki clasped his hands together, forming a hand seal.
Bang!
It was accompanied by a loud bang.
Araki's figure changed completely, transforming from his original appearance into Sarutobi Karen Kaede's.
The two of them look like twins when placed together; it's almost impossible to recognize them. Especially the beauty mark at the corner of their eyes, which is a perfect finishing touch, making them almost identical.
"Perfect."
Ibuki-sensei couldn't help but nod. He thought Araki's Transformation Technique deserved a perfect score, and then looked towards Karen Kaede-sensei's direction.
I think it's a perfect score.
Sarutobi Karen Kaede was no less shocked than Ibuki-sensei, because when she looked at Araki, she felt as if she were looking in a mirror.
It's not just that they look alike; even the expression in their eyes is the same.
This is a different realm altogether.
They only need to be highly skilled in Transformation Technique to look alike.
However, achieving consistency in movements and expressions requires a very high level of acting skill.
This is why, even though it's the same Transformation Technique, some people can be easily identified as imposters, while others can be so convincing that they're indistinguishable from the real thing. Some extremely skilled ninjas can even make people mistake the real person for a fake.
The Transformation Technique only accounts for 30% of the weight.
Both of them agreed to give Araki one percent, and then Araki's Transformation Technique added thirty percent to it.
This means that as long as Araki scores more than 30 points in the two subsequent tests, he can successfully pass the Ninja Academy graduation exam and become a ninja.
"Next up is a type of elemental escape technique!"
Ibuki-sensei had no intention of wasting time; he immediately moved on to the second test, then fixed his eyes on Araki and asked, "Which ninjutsu will you choose to use?"
Sarutobi Karen Kaede also looked curiously in the direction of Araki, eager to know what kind of Ninjutsu Araki would use for the test.
Water Release Ninjutsu.
Araki was the first to reveal his elemental affinities, something he had tested before. Besides Wood Release, his forte was Water Release, so he had learned many Water Release Ninjutsu during his time at the Ninja Academy.
"Which one?" Ibuki-sensei pressed.
" Water Formation Wall," Araki replied calmly.
"Rank B Ninjutsu?!"
Both Ibuki-sensei and Karen Kaede-sensei were greatly shocked. Their eyes widened as they stared at each other, their astonishment evident in each other's eyes.
"That's right."
Araki nodded, because the space in the classroom was too cramped. If he were to use other Water Release Ninjutsu, he wouldn't be able to use them properly. In his mind, the best option to fully utilize Ninjutsu was still the Water Formation Wall.
Are you sure there's no problem?
Ibuki-sensei looked at Araki with concern and said, "Your Transformation Technique score is very high, so there's no need to take such a risk. Choosing a high-level Ninjutsu can indeed add points to this section, but it will also deduct points if you don't perform it well. I think you're more suited to choosing some safer Ninjutsu."
"I share that view too." Sarutobi Karen Kaede nodded in agreement.
"It's okay, I can do it."
Araki grinned slightly, looking incredibly sunny. The confident glint in his dark eyes seemed to possess a special magic, causing both teachers to stop trying to dissuade him.
"Let's begin then." Ibuki-sensei nodded silently. Now that she had made up her mind, she wouldn't dwell on it anymore.
Chapter 12 B-Rank Water Release Ninjutsu, Water Formation Wall! (Part 2)
Araki nodded after understanding what Ibuki-sensei meant, and without saying anything more, he immediately began to raise his hands to form Hand Seals.
After meticulously Hand Seals, a powerful Chakra erupted from his body and began to swirl around him.
" Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Araki's voice rang out clearly, instantly reaching the ears of the two teachers, and whirlpools of water immediately formed around him.
"This..."
Ibuki-sensei and Karen Kaede-sensei exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
Before this, they had tried to overestimate Araki as much as possible, but they found that they had still underestimated him. To be able to complete this level of Ninjutsu at such a young age was definitely not an easy thing.
What exactly happened?
When did Araki become so amazing?
A big question mark popped into the minds of both teachers.
However...
While the two were pondering, the swirling water around Araki showed no sign of stopping.
Some time passed.
Ibuki-sensei was the first to react.
"That's enough, Araki, that's enough."
After Ibuki-sensei finished speaking, Araki stopped performing Ninjutsu Ninjutsu, which he had been maintaining throughout.
That is precisely why.
This made Ibuki-sensei even more shocked.
" Karen Kaede-sensei, what score do you think we should give her?" Ibuki-sensei's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Sarutobi Karen Kaede beside her.
"One hundred points!" Sarutobi Karen Kaede said almost without hesitation.
"That's what I think too." Ibuki-sensei nodded.
"I think there's no suspense about this. To complete such Ninjutsu at such a young age is truly remarkable. Looking at the entire school, there are probably very few people who could do it." Sarutobi Karen Kaede said this, but in her heart, she had a different feeling. She vaguely felt that, apart from Minato Namikaze, there was no one else who could do it.
"Then let's give it a perfect score!"
Ibuki-sensei nodded immediately, and then wrote down a number in the hundreds on the second assessment item.
Since the second assessment item accounts for 40% of the total score, Araki's score for this sub-item is 40 points after passing this assessment.
However, this was not the final score, because Araki used a B-rank Ninjutsu, so an extra five was written at the end.
In other words, Araki not only achieved a perfect score in the second assessment but also exceeded the upper limit, scoring a total of forty-five points.
Araki's current total score is 75 points.
In other words...
Araki can graduate without any problem.
"Next, the third test..." Ibuki-sensei looked up at Araki, who didn't give a clear answer, so she continued, "The third test is a test of Chakra. Our test is to walk along the classroom wall to the top, and then walk back across another bridge, completing a full circle."
Ibuki-sensei felt that, given Araki's personality, if he was certain he had passed the graduation exam, he probably wouldn't bother with a third assessment.
but...
Araki did not make a clear statement.
This suggests that Araki might have had similar thoughts.
So he explained the content of the assessment.
"Good!"
After saying this, Araki nodded, then turned to the right and walked towards the classroom wall, while Chakra appeared on the soles of his feet.
Because Chakra acted like a magnet, firmly sticking his feet to the floor.
Of course, this requires a certain degree of Chakra control.
By concentrating his Chakra, he can adhere to the ground, and by contracting the Chakra, his feet can leave the ground.
This level of Chakra control might be difficult for students at other Ninja Academy, but it's no problem at all for Araki. From the Explosive Tag to the Medical Ninjutsu, his control over Chakra far surpasses that of his peers, and even surpasses that of many ninjas.
that's all.
Araki was under the watchful eyes of these people.
I walked step by step up the right wall of the classroom, then walked upside down across the roof, and then down the left wall of the classroom, returning to my seat.
The entire process was flawless, completely effortless and enjoyable, like walking on flat ground. The control over Chakra had reached a level of complete mastery.
"Call..."
Ibuki-sensei and Karen Kaede-sensei both let out a breath, staring blankly at Araki in front of them, their faces filled with utter shock.
"One hundred points!"
The two of them achieved this result with almost no hesitation.
Araki ultimately graduated from the Ninja Academy with a perfect score.
He also took a ninja Forehead Protector when he left.
After leaving the Ninja Academy, Araki did not go back to the classrooms, as the students there did not need someone who had finished their exams to disturb them. Instead, he went straight to Orochimaru's laboratory.
During this period of time.
He had been conducting research in Orochimaru's laboratory.
I have gained a very deep understanding of some of the most basic biochemical operations, and I am gradually feeling that I have mastered some peripheral knowledge.
Araki calls this peripheral knowledge because it hasn't touched the core yet, but people vaguely know some things, so they have a vague feeling about it.
" Araki-kun, you've arrived."
Orochimaru's hoarse voice rang out softly, clearly reaching Araki's ears.
" Orochimaru-sensei." Araki greeted him casually, not expecting the latter to be there at this moment.
"Congratulations on passing your graduation exam!" Orochimaru said with a smile.
"It's not that difficult." Araki shook his head.
