Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

“That’s right, you just happen to not know how, otherwise you wouldn’t be thinking about these things. Many techniques are only devised when facing difficulties.”

The Third Hokage chuckled a few times, then narrowed his eyes. "Guy isn't good at ninjutsu. You must have some kind of request for him to demonstrate the Rasengan in front of you, right?"

"I can't learn much more at the Ninja Academy. I want to graduate early and then go to the medical department to learn medical knowledge."

Chiba said earnestly.

"You want to learn medical ninjutsu?"

"No, I just want to understand the human body better. The medical department and hospitals are the best places to go. Of course, if possible, I would also like to learn about chakra scalpels."

Chiba made no attempt to conceal his intentions.

There's no need. As a student of the Konoha Ninja Academy, he can just bring it up directly. Hiding it will only make him seem suspicious.

“Early graduation has been abolished for many years. You don’t need to graduate early if you are just going to study in the medical department. You only need to apply for special study.”

The Third Hokage pondered for a moment, then said, "Here's what we'll do: issue a formal comprehensive assessment for genin, excluding ninjutsu. If you pass, I'll agree."

"Thank you very much!"

Chiba stood up and bowed.

Although he needs to take an exam, he is confident in his abilities, but he is afraid that school teachers will be too rigid and not give him any opportunities.

Chapter 3: Taking the Exam Early – I Want to Study Medicine!

The Genin Exams test more than just the Three Body Techniques and cultural knowledge; they also assess one's ability to interpret and make judgments regarding responsibilities and situations during missions.

The cultural knowledge tested was also more in-depth.

In addition to taijutsu and combat, there is also physical skills and actual combat, which is somewhat special. Chiba thought that the Third Hokage would probably find a Chunin teacher to test him, but in reality he created a shadow clone.

"I will assess your strength. As long as you can force me to use abilities other than physical skills, I will consider you a success."

The third-generation protagonist took out a pipe, but remembering that this was a school, he didn't light it. Instead, he gently tapped the table with his hand.

"Don't we need to go outside?"

"It's fine, we can do it here."

The three generations smiled slightly.

Chiba bowed slightly to indicate that he understood, and then he and the third generation clone simultaneously formed a opposing hand seal.

Then, in an instant—

The third generation was slightly surprised.

The third-generation clone immediately noticed—

Bang!

His chakra condensed in his fist, and then he punched it. The Third Hokage's clone did not use ninjutsu, but blocked it with his bare hands, aided by the chakra.

After several exchanges, relying solely on physical skills, the clone couldn't be defeated in a short time.

dong dong!

His eyes lit up, and he drew his kunai with both hands, slashing at the threads. He severed three of them, while the rest were controlled by Chiba to avoid them, approaching the Third Hokage's clone in a chaotic yet orderly manner.

The third generation was secretly shocked.

This kid has amazing control. He can not only precisely control chakra explosions without harming himself, but he can also quickly condense a Rasengan with one hand.

These kunai are bound with countless tiny threads of chakra!

In the instant he blocked, the chakra exploded towards his location.

The third generation's clone turned into a piece of wood, with two kunai sticking out of it.

He used a substitution technique.

but.

The next moment, Chiba lunged forward and launched another attack, but at the same time, he secretly prepared a Rasengan with his right hand. In the instant his left hand attacked, he reversed his hand and used the Rasengan to strike the Third Hokage.

Although he is old, which has caused his speed, strength and physical fitness to decline a lot compared to his peak, in terms of taijutsu alone, he still has the strength of an elite chunin.

Might Guy was absolutely right to say that this kid's physical skills were on par with his.

What an amazing talent!

Since it's a shadow clone anyway, there's no need to worry about it.

Such control ability is something that even many Jonin do not possess.

The clones deflected the attacks from both sides, then instantly appeared behind Chiba and delivered a horizontal kick to his lower body. However, Chiba also swiftly dodged the attack, his speed nearly matching that of the Third Generation clones.

The moment the clone retreated, Chiba threw out four or five kunai.

"You actually mastered chakra threads and can even use them in actual combat. Not bad, quite good."

The third generation has bright eyes.

As a ninjutsu expert, he knew that Chiba had done in-depth research on chakra threads. His threads were finer and stronger, making them difficult for ordinary ninjas to detect immediately.

Secondly, manipulating the silk threads to dodge attacks is also very clever.

Right now, it's just a kunai.

What if you attach an explosive tag to the kunai?

Based solely on Chiba's demonstrated mastery of a few techniques and taijutsu, he already recognized Chiba's abilities—he possessed the strength of a genin, and even surpassed it by a large margin.

genius!

Although we cannot learn the property change, as Chiba said, there is still a lot of room for exploration in the form change.

"Third Generation Lord, what about me?"

"You've succeeded. From now on, you only need to write a learning report every week and submit it to the medical class and the ninja academy. You won't need to come to the ninja academy for classes anymore."

The three generations smiled slightly.

He doesn't plan to allow early graduation, but he would allow some loopholes to be exploited.

"Thank you so much."

Chiba breathed a sigh of relief.

Entering a medical training program was crucial for him.

One is that health training requires knowledge of medicine, and the other is that creating many ninjutsu techniques requires a sufficient understanding of body structure and muscles.

For example, if you don't understand superhuman strength, you shouldn't rush to replicate or try it...

That's not development, that's suicide!

"You earned my recognition through your own abilities, so there's no need to thank me. You should thank yourself."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, a smile on his face. "How did you come up with the idea of ​​cultivating chakra threads?"

"I didn't initially intend to train in chakra threads."

Chiba explained his thoughts.

How to condense chakra to the point where it can shatter objects, and then incorporate it into taijutsu for combat?

No wonder this kid wants to learn chakra scalpel.

The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.

The Third Generation understood Chiba's plan—

He wanted to learn from similar techniques to make up for the shortcomings of his own.

The idea is very clear.

His feelings became somewhat complicated.

In Chiba, the Third Hokage vaguely saw the student he was once so proud of, but now that guy had become a rogue ninja of Konoha.

He remained silent for a long while, then waved his hand listlessly, signaling Chiba to leave.

Chiba was unaware of the Third Generation's thoughts.

So he simply bowed slightly and left the classroom.

Once outside the classroom, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing the Third Hokage's clone, it would be a lie to say he felt no pressure. In the battle just now, he could have met the Third Hokage's requirements much more easily.

For example, launching a faster Rasengan.

He had already completed most of this optimization yesterday, and with his chakra control, he could release the Rasengan within two breaths.

But if that's all there is to it, it would be a huge waste of the opportunity that we've worked so hard to create.

Chiba needs to showcase himself more comprehensively to attract the attention of the Third Hokage and increase his chances of obtaining the Third Hokage's books later, rather than simply displaying his abilities.

Even in the Naruto world, for ordinary people, the value of books and scrolls still far exceeds that of money.

He returned to the classroom as if nothing had happened, and continued to listen attentively to the lesson. The teacher seemed unaware of the specifics and did not announce anything to the class.

After school, he would run around the village as usual.

After a while.

"The Hokage went to your school?"

"Yes, he found me and allowed me to study in the medical department."

Chiba didn't hide anything and said earnestly, "Teacher Kai, thank you so much. I will never forget your kindness!"

"Hahaha, no need for thanks, you're capable on your own."

Kai laughed, then realized something was wrong. "Wait, what are you going to the medical class for? To learn medical ninjutsu?"

"I can't even master normal nature transformations, so I don't think I can learn medical ninjutsu. I'm just trying to learn more and more comprehensive knowledge."

"what???"

Kai was dumbfounded.
