Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Just as Aoba was worrying about how to continue developing in a low-key manner after Kakashi graduated early, Kakashi came knocking on his door again. However, this time he didn't follow him but instead waited for Aoba on his way.

"Feed".

Kakashi Hatake stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a lamppost.

He's clearly a little kid, but he acts like a little adult, and it doesn't feel out of place at all. It's unbelievable.

"What is it now?"

Aoba spat out the toothpick in his mouth. "Hey Kakashi, don't you ever go home for meals? You're at the age where you're growing, and you won't grow tall if you don't eat on time."

"I want to fight you and see your true strength!"

If there's one person in the Ninja Academy that Kakashi finds most unfathomable, it's undoubtedly Yamashiro Aoba.

Especially after being easily controlled by illusion magic last time, he became even more certain that Aoba possessed considerable strength.

He felt he hadn't learned much more at the Ninja Academy. If there was anything he regretted, it was that he hadn't had a serious fight with Aoba.

"Hey, that's so rude!"

Seeing Kakashi so arrogantly challenge her to a fight, Kurenai couldn't stand it anymore.

She recently beat up a few boys in her class, which made her a little overconfident. She even seemed ready to rush over and teach Kakashi a lesson.

Aoba quickly stopped this little brat; Kakashi didn't know anything about showing mercy.

He then glanced at Kakashi, noticing his ninja tool bag and the short sword slung across his back; he seemed quite well-prepared.

Aoba scratched his head helplessly; it seemed there was no way things would turn out well today.

If he refuses the match, Kakashi will most likely force him to fight.

With a quick thought, Aoba's lips curled into a playful smile: "If you want to fight, fine, but I have a condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"Let's talk about it after you get your headband." Aoba pointed to his smooth forehead. "Right now you're still a ninja academy student, and so am I. When two students fight, it's a brawl. But when you're a ninja, it'll be a friendly spar."

"this one?"

"That's it."

Aoba's smile faded, and he said solemnly, "Come find me again after you pass the graduation exam and get your ninja headband. At that time, I will definitely do my best to help you."

Kakashi frowned slightly, completely baffled by the logic, but judging from Aoba's expression, he didn't seem to be just going through the motions.

A moment later, he snorted coldly: "It'll only be a few days. I hope you won't be making excuses then."

After saying that, he gave Qingye a deep look, then turned and disappeared into the shadows at the alley entrance.

Why wait until he passes his graduation exam?

Kurenai kicked away the pebbles at her feet, turned her head to look at Aoba curiously, and said, "It might be hard to say about others, but for Kakashi... the graduation exam shouldn't be difficult for him, it'll only take a few days, so what's the difference?"

"The difference is huge."

Aoba tapped her red forehead. "I can't just accept his challenge. I tricked him with an illusion before, and he's holding his breath now, wanting to get revenge before graduation. Since I can't avoid it, I can't let my opponent have his way. I'll move the time to after the assessment."

Even if the assessment is very simple for him, it will still take up some of his energy, and his performance will definitely not be as good as it is now. This is also a tactic.

"The First Country".

Hong's eyes widened. "Aoba is the best!"

……

As it turns out, geniuses are called geniuses precisely because they never disappoint and never keep people waiting too long.

Just two days later, an explosive piece of news came from the Ninja Academy.

Kakashi Hatake, at the age of five, passed the Ninja Academy's graduation exam with top marks, breaking Konoha's historical record and becoming the village's youngest genin.

For a time, the entire ninja academy was discussing this name.

Discussions about Kakashi could be heard in the hallways, classrooms, and even the restrooms.

"Did you hear? Kakashi really graduated!"

"Five years old? Isn't five years old just when you've started school?"

"No, he entered the Ninja Academy at the age of four with the highest score."

"That's amazing!"

"Tch, what's so great about that? It's just that he has a good dad..."

There were some sour remarks, but more comments were filled with shock and envy.

After school, a group of people surrounded Kakashi at the school gate to congratulate him on receiving his headband.

Obito stood on the outskirts of the crowd, watching Nohara Rin looking at Kakashi with adoration, and he was practically green with envy.

"Congratulations, Kakashi."

Aoba also stepped forward to offer his congratulations, his complex emotions hidden behind his black sunglasses.

Hong seemed to sense something and gave Aoba a strange look.

Kakashi pointed to the brand-new Konoha headband on his forehead.

"Do you remember our promise?"

"Of course, come with me, I know a quiet place."

The Forest of Death.

This area used to be a dense thicket, but because that guy, Kota Akimichi, practiced his Multiply Technique here, he practically "plowed" the area flat, leaving the ground a mess with crisscrossing furrows.

Kakashi scanned his surroundings, his gaze lingering for a moment on the broken tree trunks.

"Someone is practicing special physical skills here," he remarked casually.

I guess so.

Aoba didn't explain much.

The two stood in the center of the open space, ten meters apart.

A gentle breeze blew by, stirring up a few withered yellow leaves.

Aoba took a coin out of his pocket.

"The coin lands, the competition begins."

"it is good."

Kakashi nodded.

Qingye flicked her thumb lightly.

Ding--

The silvery-white coin tumbled in the air, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, tracing a graceful parabola.

Neither of them looked at the coin; their eyes remained fixed on each other.

pat.

The moment the coin hit the ground, the two of them moved simultaneously!

Aoba formed a hand seal with one hand, and chakra surged like a tide.

[Illusion Magic: Golden Binding]

However, Kakashi's body only paused for a barely perceptible moment before he quickly resumed his movements.

"As expected, the same trick won't work twice against a genius."

This is why Aoba doesn't like to make a move; if he's already played all his cards, what's the point of fighting?

A slight thought flickered in Qingye's mind, and a faint blue light flashed in her eyes behind her sunglasses.

[Dynamic capture enabled... trajectory prediction...]

The next second, Kakashi's figure was already close, and a sharp whip kick came flying towards Aoba.

So fast!

Aoba raised his arm to block.

boom!

A dull thud sounded, and Aoba felt a slight numbness in her arm.

Wow, this kid's explosive power has gotten even stronger!

A pure physical combat exchange, fists clashing and kicks whistling as the two entangled in a fierce fight.

boom! boom! boom!

A dull thud was heard, and the two men each took a step back.

"Such impressive physical skills!"

"This guy never even used his full strength during the Ninja Academy?"

Both of them were reassessing each other's strength.

Although Aoba had an advantage in height and strength, and also had the chip to help predict movements, Kakashi's taijutsu was exceptionally agile, with combat intuition beyond that of ordinary people. He was able to avoid vital points in time every time and quickly counterattack, and surprisingly, he did not fall behind in close combat.

Aoba was also amazed. Is this the true value of a genius?
