Starting with the troublemakers of Konoha, the pressure extends throughout the entire ninja world.

After I cried during the morning theory class, the atmosphere in the entire classroom changed.

It became extremely depressing and oppressive.

A group of six-year-old kids were all staring intently at the blackboard.

Everyone's eyes burned with the fighting spirit of "I also want to be praised by the Hokage."

Even Yuta Akiyama straightened his back.

Although the direction of his gaze seemed to be the back of Minato Namikaze's head.

Junji Ito on the podium was much more normal.

He had a faint scent of class about him.

It's that feeling of "after crying it out, I still have to go to work, live my life, and eat my salary."

After all, he was once a cog in the machine of Konoha.

They were well aware of the situation in Konoha.

What's the use of crying? If I don't work, no one will support me.

"The Three Bodies Technique." He tapped the blackboard.

"The focus of the Ninja Academy is to ensure the basic means of protecting oneself in battle."

Substitution Technique, Rank E: Releases white smoke to quickly replace a wooden stake for cover.

Clone Technique, Rank E, creates intangible afterimages to confuse enemies.

Transformation Technique, Rank E, alters one's own appearance and the appearance of objects.

"If you master these three skills, graduation won't be far away."

As the most basic ninjutsu, the Three Body Technique is something everyone must master.

A genius or a mediocre talent, a commoner from the ninja clan—if they can't even withstand these three moves...

Then you can't even wear a genin's vest.

Qingyu sat in the back row, her expression unchanged.

He had already obtained the Three Bodies Technique scroll.

E-rank ninjutsu, three scrolls.

D-rank Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Technique, C-rank Earth Release: Earth Dive, Two-part Scroll.

Five scroll-shaped ninjutsu with a gold content no less than that of brass.

But he never mastered it.

It's not that I'm hiding my abilities; it's that I genuinely haven't learned it yet.

Having transmigrated here, he had a certain understanding of his own talents.

It's not that it stands out from the crowd.

At the very least, they are hated by gods and demons.

It took a month to refine chakra and more than half a year to practice the Three Bodies Technique, but he still couldn't even produce a clone afterimage.

It's the type that you'd rather waste resources just to get to the root of the problem.

So he rolled up the reel and waited patiently for the system to run.

The money has now been credited to the system.

Junji Ito slows down his movements to demonstrate the hand seals for the clone technique: "Sheep—Snake—Tiger".

With a loud bang, both teachers spoke at the same time: "Did you see that clearly?"

"Look carefully!"

Practice on your own.

The classroom was filled with thumping sounds.

Most students' attempts to create clones are either crooked or semi-transparent.

Either there's only a puff of white smoke.

Yuta Akiyama's clone resembles a watercolor painting that has been rained on.

But when he looked around and found that most people couldn't even make out their outlines, his mouth stretched almost to his ears.

Minato Namikaze raised his hand: "Teacher, I want to try."

He stood up and formed a mudra with his hands.

The movements were not fast, but clean and efficient.

[Wei-Si-Yin]

"Clone Technique".

boom.

A man with clear features and a well-defined outline appeared beside him.

The classroom fell silent for a second.

"As expected of Minato!"

"Watergate succeeded? Really?!"

"In the end, he's just an orphan. Can talent change the reality of being a single-parent family?"

I don't know who said the last sentence.

But this is Konoha, and that's how troublemakers talk.

On the one hand, acknowledge your strength, on the other hand, find angles to belittle you; you have to do both, and do both well.

Junji Ito nodded: "Not bad."

Minato Namikaze's talent is indeed top-notch.

And unlike some troublemakers, he doesn't say aggressive things all the time.

Ito is already considering whether to adjust Minato's schedule separately.

Geniuses have privileges.

"Are you already smug about releasing a ninjutsu like that?"

The sound drifted leisurely from the back row.

Minato's smile faltered for a moment.

Qingyu leaned back in his chair, his expression sincere: "It's just a clone technique, an E-rank ninjutsu, the most basic of the basics."

"Minato-kun, you don't think this is enough, do you? You're going to become Hokage, the standards should be higher."

[Detection of mental stress exerted on Minato Namikaze by the host]

[Pressure value +15]

[Received: Clone Technique Proficiency Fragment x2]

Minato paused for a second, then smiled: "You're right."

Minato then withdrew his clone and resumed his practice.

Qingyu withdrew her gaze.

After the empty talk, it's time to get serious.

[Stress points consumed: 35]

[Exchange: Three Bodies Technique Fragment x35]

【Three Bodies Technique (Rank E) Synthesis Progress: 60/60. Can be synthesized】

"synthesis."

A warm current flowed in.

The hand seal sequence for the Substitution Jutsu, the chakra allocation for the Clone Jutsu, and the form maintenance for the Transformation Jutsu.

Every detail is as natural as breathing.

[The Three-Body Technique has been successfully synthesized. Proficiency Level: Beginner (0/90)]

Qingyu closed her eyes and sensed the messages from the system.

Anger surged within me immediately!

Is this system made with a Rubik's Cube?!

Why do I need to synthesize again to increase proficiency after synthesizing?

Unfortunately, the protest was ineffective.

Aoba opened her eyes and stood up: "Teacher Ito, I want to try."

The whole class turned to look at them.

Minato stopped practicing, and Shikaku looked up from under his arms.

Yuta Akiyama's eyes seemed to say, "I'd like to see what kind of work you can pull off."

Qingyu formed a hand seal.

[Wei-Si-Yin]

"Clone Technique!"

boom.

An identical Qingyu appeared beside him.

Before the classroom could react, the second round of hand seals had already begun.

Substitute technique.

White smoke exploded, and Qingyu instantly transformed into a wooden stake, reappearing on the other side of the classroom.

Transformation technique.

A second Junji Ito appeared on the stage, with the same hairstyle, the same clothes, and the same class atmosphere.

The classroom was silent for three seconds, then it exploded.

"All three spells have been unleashed!"

"His substitution technique allows him to switch bodies even faster than Minato's!"

Junji Ito's expression finally changed.

It wasn't satisfaction, it was surprise.

The substitution technique allows for a significantly faster replacement speed than that of a beginner.

The transformation technique's form stability is more solid than Minato's demonstration just now.

"Very good. You have mastered all three body techniques and your proficiency has exceeded the beginner level. Keep it up."

Qingyu walked back to her seat expressionlessly.

He stopped a step as he passed by the water gate.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any pressure?"

[Detection of mental stress exerted on Minato Namikaze by the host]

[Pressure value +25]

[Obtained: Fragment of the Instantaneous Movement Technique x3]

[Body Instantaneous Movement Technique (Rank D) Progress: 6/180]

Minato didn't answer, but just stared at Aoba's back, his eyes burning with the excitement of "finally found a worthy opponent."

He then lowered his head and secretly doubled the amount of practice he was doing.

Nara Shikaku lay on the table, his brows slightly furrowed.

Before Qingyu released the clone technique, there was an extremely slight acceleration in the hand seals.

It was as if, suddenly, the hand that was releasing the ninjutsu became steady.

Moreover, the change didn't seem like the result of practice.

It seems there's one more person in trouble.

He buried his face in his arms.

Yuta Akiyama's expression went through the entire process of shock, confusion, resentment, and forcing himself to pull himself together.

Qingyu knows the Three Bodies Technique, but he doesn't.

But he hit the target eight times, while Qingyu hit it ten times.

wrong.

Aoba is first, Minato is second, and he is thirteenth.

His expression fell again.

[Detected that the host is causing (indirect) mental stress to "Yuta Akiyama"]

[Pressure value +8]

[Obtained: Chakra Fragment x1]

Qingyu glanced at the system notification and silently gave it a thumbs up.

Akiyama's individual output is not high, but his frequent emotional fluctuations cannot be stopped.

It can be described as a perpetual motion machine fuel that provides a steady, continuous flow.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The classroom erupted in chaos.

"Qingyu, when did you start practicing?"

"Who's stronger, you or Minato?"

"You two are both geniuses from humble backgrounds!"

Qingyu was surrounded in the middle, maintaining a refined and amiable smile on his face.

Minato turned around from the front row, and the two looked at each other for a second.

Minato laughed first: "I won't lose in the next monthly exam."

Qingyu smiled too: "Bring tape, I'll wait for you."

That evening, the news spread throughout Konoha Village.

Two commoner orphans mastered the complete Three Bodies Technique on the same day.

The twin stars of the Ninja Academy, commoner geniuses, inheritors of the Will of Fire.

The Third Hokage's office. Hiruzen Sarutobi's pipe curled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Qingyu..." he repeated the name, exhaling a puff of smoke.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him.
