Hinata: I'm in charge of Konoha.

Under the cover of night, the pure gold lightsaber pierced through the universe, standing like a pillar supporting the heavens.

The red-haired man stared into thought as he looked at the photograph his subordinate had taken in time.

"Hinata?"

He spoke softly, which caused the blue-haired, aloof woman with paper flowers in her hair to turn her head slightly and look at him.

"It was the hand that Madara Uchiha fought."

The woman's voice was cold, and her words revealed a hint of apprehension.

"Um."

The red-haired man named Nagato nodded, a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

He said he'd be right back.

"Should we...?"

The woman continued speaking, holding a recently issued wanted poster from Konoha.

"No need, we just need to find out who this Hinata is."

Nagato shook his head.

It is currently known that the so-called Uchiha Madara fought against the ridiculously powerful Hyuga and survived a battle of that magnitude.

Regardless of whether Madara Uchiha ultimately wins or loses, his strength is certainly not to be underestimated.

Whether he possesses such power or not is no longer important.

If he's willing to travel the ninja world under the name Uchiha Madara, then let's just say he is Uchiha Madara.

Nagato understood this very well.

The name Madara Uchiha is unimportant; strength is the only measure of worth.

"In that case, I'll arrange for someone to meet him."

Konan nodded in agreement, clearly acknowledging Nagato's decision.

If Obito Uchiha knew what these two were thinking, he probably wouldn't know whether to be relieved or angry.

The explanation he and Black Zetsu had discussed for so long was completely rendered useless because of the battle with Otsutsuki Konosuke.

"No need, I'm here."

As soon as Nagato and Konan finished speaking, the steel gate was slowly pushed open.

A man dressed in black, wearing a mask, and with cascading black hair appeared before the two.

"Madara, I didn't expect you to survive against that level of power."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha was not angry; instead, a mocking smile appeared on his lips beneath his mask.

He believed that Nagato had received the arrest warrant issued for him by Konoha.

The fact that Nagato still calls him "Madara" at this moment means that Nagato has not questioned his identity.

Or rather, he has already earned Nagato's approval through his strength.

This was a feeling that Obito Uchiha had never experienced before.

Since his debut, Obito Uchiha has never received any recognition of his strength from anyone.

He has always roamed the ninja world as Madara Uchiha, using Kamui's unpredictable methods to intimidate people.

He cooperated with Nagato, subdued Kisame, and coerced Itachi Uchiha.

They succeeded solely because of the combined power of Madara Uchiha's identity and the intimidating presence of Kamui.

Nagato's current attitude clearly ignores Madara Uchiha's identity and acknowledges Obito Uchiha's strength.

Only at this moment did Obito Uchiha realize something.

Only by having a strong enough fist can you truly make others take you seriously.

Having enough power, let alone Madara Uchiha.

So what if he claims to be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths?

At that moment, a thought arose in Obito Uchiha's mind.

power.

He needs greater power.

If you have enough power, what's wrong with taking off your mask and showing your true face?

He said that the moon is in the sky during the day, and under such absolute power, no one dared to refute him.

"That level of power?"

"Is it very strong?"

In response to Nagato's words, a slightly hoarse voice came from beneath the mask.

Nagato stared at the other person.

For some reason, he felt that the guy in front of him seemed to have changed...

Konoha

Ninja Academy

Iruka stared speechlessly at the Hyuga young lady in front of him, who had just skipped class yesterday.

"Hinata, you mean you want to apply for graduation?"

Iruka tried to confirm what Hinata had just said.

"Yes, that's right!"

Hinata nodded emphatically.

That damned Hinata! If he won't let me skip class, then I'll just graduate right away!

"Hmm, then I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them, Hinata, I can help you graduate. Of course, whether you can pass depends on Hinata herself."

Iruka carefully considered his words before speaking.

"Bring it on!"

Hinata responded without hesitation.

How difficult could the exam at a mere ninja academy be?

Iruka picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote on the notebook, then handed it to Hinata, saying:

"If I can make it, I'll apply for it for you."

Hinata confidently took the notebook, her face full of disdain.

Given a parabola C: y^2 = 4x with focus F, a line l passing through point P(2, 0) intersects the parabola at points A and B.

(1) If the slope of line l is 1, find the length of chord AB;

(2) Let lines AF and BF intersect the parabola at another point M and N respectively. Prove that line MN always passes through a fixed point.

Question (1): Combine the equations of the straight line and the parabola, and use the chord length formula.

Question (2): Set point parameters (e.g., A(y_1^2/4, y_1)) to represent the line AF, find the intersection point M, then find the equation of MN through symmetry or Vieta's formulas, and finally explore the fixed point.

? ? ? ? ? ?

What is this thing?

Is this what ninja academies teach?

I only took ten days off and then missed a few days of class!

Are you guys really learning this much beyond the standard?!

"This is a question about parabolas, since throwing shuriken and kunai requires calculation."

Iruka kindly explained to Hinata.

Who in their right mind would throw away a shuriken and then think about something like this?!

Aren't they all just throwing things based on gut feeling?

Naruto, and Obito Uchiha, you two.

I misunderstood you.

It's no wonder you're at the bottom of the class.

Is this something a ninja should learn?!

"How is it? Can you do it?"

Iruka looked at Hinata with a gentle expression.

"Won't."

Hinata spoke with dead fish eyes.

"Should I ask any other questions?"

Iruka kindly offered his help.

"No need, thank you."

graduate?

Graduation my ass!

I'd rather stay at the ninja academy for the rest of my life and wait to be expelled!

Seeing Hinata leave looking so dejected, Iruka stroked his chin.

Besides this method, another approach is to directly choose live-fire exercises.

After all, this is a time of peace. If ninjas are sent out on missions at a very young age, the mortality rate would be too high, which is absolutely unacceptable.

However, if you are truly talented, you can apply for a practical training session. If the examiner deems you qualified, you can actually pass directly.

That's how Kakashi Hatake passed it back then.

However, Hinata is only six years old, and it is a time of peace, so this kind of graduation assessment is absolutely not allowed.

Even though Hinata is a genius in practical combat.

This is a rule that was established during the Second Hokage's time.

No matter how talented or outstanding someone is, in peacetime, they can forget about graduating from the ninja academy before the age of ten.
