Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

At the end of March in Konoha Year 44, cherry blossoms fell again, and the Ninja Academy graduation season arrived as scheduled.

The news that someone from Class 2-A had graduated early spread early on, and that a genius had emerged again after Kakashi Hatake, which indirectly proved the village's prosperity.

Especially since the applicant came from a commoner ninja family, the publicity made even the boys preparing to enroll feel very excited.

Perhaps the children simply don't want to lose to their peers, but for many families, having talent means receiving support, which means that upward mobility is open to them.

The graduation exam was once again presided over by the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Might Guy was a little nervous about it and kept pacing back and forth at the gate.

Matt Kai understood his father's feelings, but in just two years, he had completely shed the title of "bottom of the class".

Even in theoretical knowledge, he consistently ranks in the top 10 of the class; Furukawa Osamu's error notebook method is very effective.

"Don't be nervous, Kai. Everyone recognizes your hard work. Now all that's left is the Transformation Technique and the Clone Technique."

"By the way, I'd like to tell you the results of your theory exam; you passed!"

Standing beside the Hokage, homeroom teacher Ryosuke Kimura wore a proud expression, while Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled gently, looked at the nervous boy, and encouraged him:

"Show me the results of your training. I've heard Ryosuke praise you more than once."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, Ryosuke-sensei!"

For this day, Might Guy specially changed into the brand-new green bodysuit his father had prepared for him, with bandages wrapped around his hands. After responding loudly, he immediately used ninjutsu.

As expected, after two years of continuous practice, Might Guy has completely mastered the low-level ninjutsu.

After successfully transforming into the homeroom teacher, Might Guy also perfectly executed the clone technique.

Regarding chakra control, Guy was well aware of the gap between himself and Osamu Furukawa and Kakashi. He didn't make any mistakes in the test and couldn't help but grin.

"very good!"

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

Hiruzen Sarutobi loudly praised him, and the four people beside him puffed out their chests upon seeing the Hokage's smile. Ryosuke Kimura immediately took out the prepared ninja headband and solemnly handed it to Might Guy.

"Kai, from today onwards, you are a ninja who can stand on your own."

"The arduous life of a genin is about to begin, so don't slack off, keep striving!"

"Also, the ninja registration form needs a new photo taken. Don't forget about that. Now go and share this good news with your father."

Might Guy, having received the ninja headband, bowed solemnly, then looked at the group before him and loudly pledged with high spirits:

"My youth will burn until the end of my life! I will definitely become an outstanding ninja in the future."

"..."

Just as Matt Kai and his father embraced passionately at the school gate, the two of them shedding tears of joy, Furukawa Osamu's unconventional exam was also drawing to a close.

In the training grounds behind the ninja academy, huge cracks appeared in the ground, and there were many scattered rocks and craters all around.

Wearing a green Konoha Jonin vest, Tsunade slowly stood up from the crater. Unsurprised by the disappearance of her shadow clone, she calmly continued:

Even in battles between Jonin, ninjutsu is often not the best choice.

"You should understand what I mean. The amount of chakra that can be extracted in one go is very limited, and most ninjas don't have much talent in this area."

"As you grow older, your chakra reserves will eventually surpass mine, combined with your unparalleled control..."

Tsunade, who was about to continue making empty promises, suddenly stopped talking. A shrill sound, like a thousand birds chirping, came to her ears, followed by a loud bang.

"boom!"

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

With a sudden increase in speed, he sprinted in a straight line. The electricity gathered in Furukawa Osamu's right hand roared wildly in the air, and the visible blue chakra made Tsunade show a look of surprise for the first time.

The snarling thrust arrived in the blink of an eye. Tsunade sidestepped, extended her right hand, and dodged the attack, simultaneously flicking her middle finger on Furukawa Osamu's forehead.

"Bang..."

Flying backward at an even faster speed, Furukawa Osamu landed on the grass in the woods, rolled twice, and lay sprawled on the ground, taking deep breaths.

"Is this what ninjutsu talent is?! I admit you're a genius in this area!"

"Not bad, Xiu. The nature and form transformation of lightning-style chakra is very well executed."

"Create a large amount of chakra to stimulate cells, complete one physical activation, and then squeeze the activated cells to produce an even larger amount of chakra."

With her arms crossed, Tsunade approached Furukawa Osamu and, recalling the questions she had answered in her daily life, deduced most of the principles behind this ninjutsu.

As she spoke, a hint of doubt crept in. In her mind, Furukawa Osamu's stamina should have been depleted. Thinking this, Tsunade immediately bent down and praised him, saying:

"I'm very satisfied! There's been further growth in just a few months."

"I take back some of my previous points. If your progress in medical ninjutsu satisfies me, I'll make some of my collection available, and I can even have Orochimaru mentor you on ninjutsu!"

The outrageous physique before him made Osamu Furukawa sigh helplessly, but thankfully he eventually agreed to let him continue studying ninjutsu.

In fact, he had taken a secret medicine before using Shadow Clone Jutsu. It took some time to fuse the clones according to the ratio, but the power of the ninjutsu did increase significantly.

"Is Tsunade-sensei trying to kill me? There's no need to go to such lengths to deal with a genin."

"That kind of power destroyed half of the training ground; it'll probably cause problems for the village!"

Furukawa Osamu, who had just sat up, gave a wry smile. He kicked the ground, and after experiencing it firsthand, he felt it was absurd.

Thinking back to the "Gundam" of the Uchiha Mai King in his memory, Furukawa Osamu became increasingly curious about chakra, and at the same time, he was fascinated by its extraordinary power.

"So verbose!"

"Congratulations on passing my test. You are now a fully-fledged genin."

Tsunade, pulling Furukawa Osamu up, bent down again and personally tied the ninja headband on his head. Then she took a step back, looked him over carefully, and deliberately teased him:

"No wonder Shizune said you're very popular at school!"

"..."

Reaching out to adjust his Konoha ninja headband, Furukawa Osamu saw Shizune running over and a happy smile appeared on his face. He could only imitate Guy and give her a thumbs up.

He's not Obito Uchiha; he only likes mature women.

"I'm leaving now. I should tell the old man that there are many outstanding students in this year's class, and he should be very happy."

"Remember not to use that technique carelessly. Even if you are a sensory ninja with good dynamic vision and reflexes, it is still very dangerous."

Tsunade turned with a smile and gave a word of advice, then pulled Shizune aside, her golden twin tails swaying back and forth as she continued to ponder and add:

"At this age, it's still important to build a solid foundation. I'll be entrusting you with some of the refining work. The herbs you cultivated last year were a great help."

"The instructor for the three-person class hasn't been decided yet; I'll discuss it with my husband."

"It still needs some practical experience. I almost forgot, what's the name of that technique? Do you need me to help you think of a good name?"

Seemingly very pleased with her disciple's talent, Tsunade was overjoyed. After stopping to ask questions, she looked at Furukawa Osamu with anticipation.

"Chidori!"

As Furukawa Osamu chuckled, he uttered the name of the lightning ninjutsu, his mind filled with images of himself in junior high school, imitating hand seals, and being chased and beaten by a bunch of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) students.

Surprisingly, it's a good name. As if recalling something, Tsunade laughed heartily and retorted:

"Surprisingly apt!"

"It seems your talent for naming is far superior to Jiraiya's disciples! Truly a genius I personally nurtured!"

"..."
