Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

A practical exam?

Upon hearing Kazama Shinya's words, all the students erupted in excitement and immediately began chattering amongst themselves.

In the past, whether it was throwing shuriken or practicing physical skills, they would practice on targets, at most on moving targets.

Now, it's finally time for real-world application!

Indeed, none of these students were afraid; instead, they were filled with excitement.

They came to the Ninja Academy specifically for this!

"I'm so excited~ Shun, do you think I can win?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked very excited, shaking Shun Akihi's hand repeatedly.

"Although I don't know who your enemy is, I believe in you. With your hard work in training, you will definitely win!"

Autumn Shun gently stroked the head of Sunset Red, comforting her.

Then, Akira Shun realized someone was watching him and turned around.

Sure enough, it was those two again.

Kakashi and Might Guy.

At this moment, both of them looked at Akihi Shun with intense fighting spirit in their eyes!

When Qiu Rishun looked over, Might Guy was still staring intently at him.

However, Kakashi seemed to recall what happened that morning, and quickly and awkwardly looked away, gazing up at the sky as if nothing had just occurred.

"Alright! Everyone, come here and draw lots. Those who draw number 1 will be in a group and will compete against each other, and so on!"

"If any student wants to use ninja tools but doesn't have any with them, they can use the ninja tools on the ninja tool shelf."

After Kazama Shinya finished speaking, he stepped aside to let the students draw lots.

After the draw, the students' expressions varied, some were happy and some were sad.

If you draw someone who is obviously weaker than you, you'll be happier. If you draw someone stronger, you'll worry about your score and might even get a beating.

"Instantly, I drew number 5!"

"Number 5? Hmm, that's it, Ebisu."

As Akira Shun spoke, he deliberately pointed it out to Kurenai Yuhi.

Following Akira Shun's finger, Kurenai Yuhi saw a young man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses.

Kurenai remembered the other person; her grades were also good, but definitely not as good as hers.

"Don't worry, you can definitely beat him! I believe in you!"

"Um!"

Kurenai nodded happily, then asked, "Shun, what number did you draw?"

"Number 11".

After Akira finished saying his number, several classmates who had been eavesdropping immediately glanced at their own numbers.

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not the 11th!

Very good!

No need to fight Akihi Shun!

After Akira finished speaking, the news that he had drawn number 1 spread rapidly.

Many people glanced at their numbers with bated breath, but once they were sure the enemy wasn't there, they all smiled.

Matt Kai glanced at his number.

Number 8 is a chubby little boy!

"Damn it!"

He really wants to fight Akiga Shun!

Kakashi glanced at his number as well: number 10.

Number 10 is...

Kakashi looked at Genma Shiranui, and Genma looked back at Kakashi. After exchanging glances, they nodded politely and then simultaneously looked away.

Although Genma Shiranui is a formidable opponent, he is not strong enough!

Autumn moment! ! !

"Lin, check your number! Mine's number 6. Let's hope we don't run into each other!"

After identifying his opponent, Obito immediately went to Rin's side to show his concern.

"Oh well."

Lin opened the note; the number on it was...

11.

"What! Rin, how come you're number 11! Akira Shun is number 11 too!"

"Why?"

Rin Nohara was stunned for a moment after hearing Obito's exclamation.

"Am I going to fight Akihi Shun? Really?"

After hearing Obito's exclamation, several classmates around him looked at Nohara Rin with pity.

One was a top student with a significant gap in rankings, and the other was an ordinary girl; the outcome was predictable.

They couldn't believe how quickly the battle would end!

"Lin, how about we switch spots? I'll help you play against Akihi Shun!"

After a brief moment of thought, Obito gritted his teeth and handed the number in his hand to Rin Nohara.

"Huh? Is changing the ticket really okay? And Obito, you'll get hurt, won't you?"

Seeing Obito's resolute gaze, Rin Nohara did not exchange numbers with him, but instead showed concern.

"Nohara Rin, shall we change?"

At that moment, Kakashi approached Rin Nohara and handed her the number he had given him.

"Kakashi! What are you doing here! Damn it! I'll protect Rin!"

Obito's commotion didn't bother Kakashi; he simply watched Nohara Rin quietly.

"Well... okay then."

Rin Nohara hesitated for a moment before exchanging numbers with Kakashi.

"Rin! Why did you switch with him instead of me?! I can beat Akihi Shun too! Kakashi has always been outmatched by Akihi Shun, he definitely can't win!"

Obito was incredibly jealous when he saw Kakashi.

"No, it's not that I doubt you can beat Akihi Shun, it's just that I'm afraid you'll get hurt protecting me. Kakashi is different, he just wants to fight Akihi Shun, and I want to fulfill his wish."

Obito, who was initially jealous, immediately changed his expression after hearing Rin Nohara's words of comfort. His face turned bright red, and he scratched his head shyly.

"Oh... okay..."

So you were worried about me...

Kakashi, after receiving his lot, stood to the side with his eyes closed, preparing for his upcoming battle with Akihito Shun.

"Damn it! Kakashi! How could you use this method?!"

Might Guy watched Kakashi's entire performance and looked enviously at the number in Kakashi's hand.

"It's just that you didn't think of this method."

Because the two often spied on Akihi Shun together, their relationship has improved a lot recently.

While not quite as close as the later Konoha Twins, they were still considered ordinary friends.

Akira Shun was unaware of those events.

He simply closed his eyes to rest, quietly waiting for Kazama Shinya to call his number.

Soon, the first match began.

They were just two ordinary classmates, and Akira Shun lost interest after just one glance.

It wasn't until the fifth match, when Kurenai Yuhi was fighting Ebisu, that Shun Akihi opened his eyes.

Just as he had expected, Ebisu was not very strong to begin with.

Furthermore, because of him, Kurenai trained even harder, making her fight against Ebisu a piece of cake.

The battle was over in just one minute.

The victor was naturally Kurenai Yuhi, who didn't even sustain a scratch; Ebisu didn't even touch Kurenai Yuhi.

It was all just a joke!

"Yes! I won!"

After winning, Kurenai jumped up and down with joy.

Autumn Shun also gave Sunset Red a thumbs up.

After Kurenai Yuhi finishes, it's the 6th...

As the numbers were called up one by one for the battle, it was soon time for Akihi Shun's number to be called up.

"Next!"

"Number 11!"
