Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Leaf.

Ninja Academy, training ground.

"Next..."

"Comprehensive practical test!"

"It is divided into two parts: ninja tool throwing and taijutsu combat."

As Shui Mu finished speaking.

The Chunin instructors nearby quickly activated the mechanism.

At the end of the playground, rows of wooden targets were erected.

Not only are there fixed targets, but there are also blind spot targets that move rapidly on the sliding rails.

On the high platform.

Chiba shifted to a more comfortable sitting position.

He rested his chin on his hand, looking down at the eager little devils.

The past six years.

Konoha Village's fiscal revenue has increased more than tenfold.

With money, the school's resources naturally increased several times over.

What do these students eat now?

Highly nutritious meat specially supplied by the Akimichi clan, and medicinal cuisine prepared by the Nara clan.

In addition, Chiba offers its C-rank ninjutsu library free of charge.

These kids' physical abilities have long surpassed those of the original story.

Under such circumstances.

Chiba was also curious about how they would perform.

"First group, move forward!"

Shui Mu shouted loudly.

Ten students stood in a row behind the throwing line.

Whoosh whoosh!

Dark shadows danced across the sky.

The kunai and the shuriken drew intersecting trajectories in the air.

Grab it! Grab it! Grab it!

The wooden target was covered with ninja tools.

The results are in.

Most students hit the bullseye.

Even the moving targets, very few of them missed.

The parents watching from the sidelines nodded in approval.

"The future of Konoha is truly limitless."

Hiashi Hyuga stood at the very front of the crowd.

He watched the performance on the field and felt deeply moved.

In the past...

Those who can achieve such a high hit rate are basically core members of major families.

Even ordinary students can achieve this level now.

The Fifth Hokage's charisma was truly unmatched.

"Next up, Uchiha Sasuke!"

soon.

As Shuimu read out the name.

A burst of screams suddenly erupted outside the playground.

"Sasuke is so cool!"

"Go Sasuke!"

Yamanaka Ino shouted at the top of her lungs.

A group of young girls blushed with excitement.

Sasuke walked to the throwing line with one hand in his pocket and no expression on his face.

Fugaku Uchiha stood outside the arena.

He crossed his arms and looked serious.

But he couldn't help feeling nervous.

He was well aware of his son's abilities.

But he was afraid that Sasuke would make a mistake at the last minute, causing the Uchiha to be laughed at.

the other side.

Shui Mu swung his arm down.

The ten moving targets on the slide rail started instantly.

Sasuke moved too.

He extended both hands simultaneously, eight shuriken held between his fingers.

He suddenly exerted force on his wrist.

The eight shuriken transformed into eight streaks of black lightning.

call out!

The sound of something cutting through the air was sharp and piercing.

midair.

The shuriken in front were about to hit the obstacle.

But the shuriken behind them came from behind and took the lead.

Ding ding ding!

A crisp, metallic clang rang out.

Sparks flew.

The eight shuriken collided violently in mid-air.

A bizarre scene unfolded.

The shuriken changed their flight trajectories after the collision.

They traced incredible arcs in the air, perfectly circumventing all obstacles.

Seize! Seize! Seize!

Ten bullseyes.

Without exception, they all hit the bullseye.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Then.

A cheer erupted and soared into the sky.

"Did you see that!"

"That's the Uchiha's shuriken manipulation technique!"

"That's incredible!"

"This is simply not a level of performance a student could achieve!"

Even the Chunin teacher in charge of recording the scores was stunned.

He subconsciously swallowed.

"Perfect score!"

Fugaku Uchiha's chin tilted slightly upwards.

That's more like it.

The geniuses of my Uchiha clan should shine this brightly.

"cut."

"A show-off."

Naruto Uzumaki pursed his lips.

He is the son of the fourth generation and the adopted brother of the fifth generation.

Naruto can easily access the Uchiha Throwing Technique.

However, he simply couldn't learn such complicated operations and eventually had to give up.

"Next up, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto leaped and landed directly on the throwing line.

He didn't carry several ninja tools like Sasuke.

He simply pulled out a basic, standard-issue kunai from his ninja tool pouch.

"start!"

Shui Mu gave the order.

Naruto took a half step back with his right leg and suddenly twisted his waist.

All the muscles in my body tensed up instantly.

A terrifying force traveled from the soles of his feet to his waist and hips, and then suddenly burst forth along his arms.

boom!

The bluestone slab under Naruto's feet was cracked like a spider web.

Go!

He let out a loud shout and swung his right hand out violently.

The kunai didn't fly out in any fancy arc.

It is straight.

It's terrifyingly straightforward.

A deafening sonic boom echoed across the playground.

The kunai seemed to transform into a black cannonball.

boom!

The first moving target instantly exploded into a shower of sawdust.

But the kunai's speed did not decrease at all, and it pierced through the second wooden target again.

Next is the third page!

Fourth page!

The five wooden targets in a straight line were all shattered by this one blow.

At last.

The kunai struck the protective barrier at the edge of the playground, creating a violent blue ripple.

pat.

The deformed kunai fell to the ground.

The entire venue fell silent once again.

If Sasuke's throwing technique is considered the pinnacle of skill...

Naruto's throw was pure violence.

Shui Mu's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the pen again.

What did this kid eat to grow up like this?

This terrifying strength is simply outrageous.

On the high platform.

Chiba smiled.

The Naruto we know today is not the Naruto from the original manga.

Chiba will train Naruto.

Kakashi will also train Naruto.

Jiraiya would return to Konoha every year to teach Naruto a move or two.

the most important is.

Naruto reclaimed his parents' inheritance.

He never cheated for money, and his physical development was almost perfect.

Under such circumstances.

This brat's physical strength has long since reached a terrifying level.

"Teacher Shuimu."

"Did I pass the test?"

Naruto grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"It's...it's over."

Shuimu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

What else could he say?

We can't possibly fail Naruto for damaging public property.

The ninja tool throwing test ended quickly.

This is thanks to the involution system established by Chiba.

These genin trainees all achieved excellent results.

The playground was quickly cleaned up.

Shuimu walked to the front of the group, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.

"Listen carefully to the upcoming assessment!"

"Physical combat!"

"The rules are simple: all ninjutsu and genjutsu are prohibited."

"Your opponents are active-duty genin."

The voice just fell.

Fifty lower-ranking ninjas emerged from around the examination hall.

They lacked the gentleness of school teachers.

Instead, there was a faint, chilling atmosphere.

This immediately caused a commotion among the students.

Many people swallowed hard, their legs starting to feel weak.

"Quiet!"

"If you can hold out for five minutes, you'll pass."

"If you are knocked unconscious, knocked out of bounds, or voluntarily surrender, you are eliminated immediately!"

"First round, those whose names are called, come forward!"

Shuimu quickly read out fifty names.

The first group of students cautiously entered the designated area of ​​confrontation.

The opposing genin cracked his wrists, making a series of snapping sounds.

"start!"

boom!

The dull thuds of impact echoed across the playground in an instant.

None of the lower-ranking ninjas showed any mercy.

Because testing the students' physical skills was a C-level mission issued by Chiba.

They can earn 10 merit points if they complete the mission.

For all the genin, this is definitely a rare and desirable job.

not to mention.

Chiba is still sitting up there.

They all wanted to make a good impression on Chiba.
