In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 5: End of Year Exam, The Strongest Brain

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March of the 55th year of Konoha.

Before I knew it, the first grade of study was coming to an end.

By April, the first grade was promoted to the second grade.

However, before the holiday arrives, the first graders will have to take a big exam.

It is also through this major exam that the most outstanding top student representing the entire grade will be selected.

3 month 18 day.

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Sheng woke up from his sleep and exercised in his yard.

After finishing morning training every day, Liu Sheng took a shower and started making breakfast.

After finishing breakfast and drinking a full glass of milk, Yagyu formed seals with his hands, created two shadow clones, and asked them to start working as usual.

And Yagyu's real body went to the Ninja School.

There will be a cultural exam during the day, and you only need to answer questions.

The important assessment is in the afternoon.

Although it is said to be important, in fact, it is just an additional survival exercise compared to the quiz.

It might be an exaggeration to describe it as a survival exercise; it's actually just a game of hide-and-seek.

The sixth grade graduation exam only tests one of the three body techniques.

First graders mainly focus on academic subjects. Children who are not from ninja families don’t even have a scroll for practicing the Three Body Technique.

The practical classes in the afternoon were either shuriken throwing or physical skills competitions, there was not even any kunai hand-to-hand combat.

These courses are designed to allow them to accumulate spiritual and physical energy and lay a solid foundation.

During this year, the only skill the school taught them was... invisibility.

Invisibility and teleportation seem very advanced, but they are actually more basic than the three body techniques.

In the original novel, when Naruto first appeared, he played tricks on the ninjas who were trying to capture him by using the Konoha Flickering Technique and Invisibility Technique.

The reason why these two techniques give people a sense of sophistication is that many people have played with them in various ways.

Yagyu felt that the survival exercise in the afternoon, if nothing unexpected happened, should be a test of their attainments in the art of invisibility.

"Hey...Yao Sheng, good morning!"

"Good morning, Yagyu-kun."

"Yagyu-kun, do you want to go play with us after the exam?"

"Yagyu, can you throw me a note during the exam? Please, if I fail, my mother will beat me to death!"

"..."

When he arrived at the classroom, many male and female classmates greeted Yagyu.

Yagyu also responded to them with a smile, sometimes even stopping to talk to them for a few words, full of patience.

Unlike the aloof Sasuke and Naruto who no one wants to play with, Yagyu sets his own character as central air conditioning and is very gentle no matter who he faces.

After all, only he knows how many talented people have come out of this classroom.

There are two saviors and Hokage, and the others are either the patriarchs of the ninja clan or the heads of a department in Konoha.

Who knows whether, in addition to these little cockroaches, little Karami, who has not been mentioned in other plots, will also become a powerful figure in the future?

So before the golden finger awakened, Yagyu took advantage of the fact that he was still a genius to leave a good impression on his classmates.

Even though he has now merged with Ashura's chakra and is undoubtedly the strongest in the class, Yagyu has not ruined his character.

One more friend means one less enemy. The main point is the human relationship!
After chatting with his classmates, Yagyu finally came to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, a small hand patted Liu Sheng's shoulder from behind.

Ino, who was sitting behind Yagyu, smiled and said, "Yagyu, do your best in the exams. You must win the title of top student."

"I'll try my best." Yagyu nodded with a smile.

"Yagyu, does your family have any bloodline limit, and you quietly awakened it?"

At this time, a voice sounded from beside Yagyu.

Nara Shikamaru, who was lying on the table with a pair of dead eyes like he hadn't woken up yet, said dimly, "Since you defeated Naruto a few months ago, you seem like a different person."

"You are so smart, why don't you try to guess?" Yagyu teased.

"what……"

Nara Shikamaru yawned, sat up straight, stretched and said, "Anyway, some changes must have happened to you."

Ino said unhappily, "Who doesn't have some secrets? Why are you so gossipy?"

"Yes, yes...I spoke too much."

Looking at Ino who raised her fist with an expression that said she would beat him up if he said any more words, Nara Shikamaru nodded helplessly.

But at the same time, his curiosity was still growing day by day.

If it was anyone else, Nara Shikamaru wouldn't bother to be curious.

Even though Naruto's identity was special, he didn't care too much.

The only exception is... Yagyu.

After a year of observation, Nara Shikamaru discovered that his deskmate Yagyu was like two different people in the first half of the year and the second half of the year.

In Nara Shikamaru's eyes, Yagyu in the first half of the year was too fake.

A smile that easily wins the favor of others is considered by Nara Shikamaru, who has the strongest brain and the most piercing eyes, as a natural acting skill.

This guy, Yagyu, is a precocious genius just like himself, but he is too goal-oriented.

So Nara Shikamaru actually didn't have much affection for Yagyu, his classmate who deliberately sat next to him.

But in the second half of the year, Nara Shikamaru's perception of Yagyu changed dramatically.

Because in the second half of the year, this guy Yagyu became real.

That purposeful smile, even if it was a flawless mask-like smile, could not hide the gloom between the brows, and all of it disappeared.

The young Nara Shikamaru couldn't understand why a person could change so much, so when he was chatting with his father, he asked his father for advice.

After getting several answers from his father, Nara Shikamaru realized that the change in Yagyu was that he had become more confident in his mentality.

And Yagyu's change began with his defeat of Naruto.

That's why Nara Shikamaru is so curious.

How can you become confident by defeating a guy who always ranks last in every quiz or even every random test?
There is no doubt that either some changes have occurred in Yagyu or he is hiding some secrets.

This change and secret is the key that makes him no longer full of purpose, no longer needing to act all the time to build good relationships with others, and his confidence can surpass everyone else.

Today's exam may reveal some clues.

Thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru suddenly became a little interested in this exam.

Yagyu didn't know what Nara Shikamaru was thinking.

If you knew, you would definitely sigh that he is worthy of being the future military strategist and the 'Eighth Hokage'.

He can see so much at the age of six or seven. He is not inferior to Uchiha Itachi who had the thinking of a Hokage at the age of seven.
