In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

"Today is the last exam of the semester—the practical assessment!"

The exams at the Ninja Academy are divided into two subjects: humanities and ninjutsu, with ninjutsu being the most important.

So today, in addition to Sugiyama Tomoji, the homeroom teacher of Class A, there is also Yamashita Masahiro, the homeroom teacher of Class B, and several medical ninjas, who are working together to hold this practical assessment.

To speed up the assessment process, Sugiyama Tomoji and Yamashita Masahiro arranged the matches from worst to best, so that they could be spread out over several matches and completed at once. The final genius would need to be closely monitored.

"Team A's Obito Uchiha versus Team B's Might Guy! Both of you, please step forward and form the opposing hand seals!"

Sugiyama Tomoji stood between the two and made the announcement.

"Haha, let's see how I defeat you!" Obito said smugly, seeing that his opponent was a student who had only entered the school after taking a make-up exam.

Matt Kai didn't speak; his mind was racing: "How many sets of push-ups should I do after the exam today? How many kilometers should I run?"

Only after Sugiyama Satoshi's voice rang out did the two form hand seals.

As soon as the match started, Obito began forming Fire Release hand seals: "Watch this!"

"Leaf Whirlwind!" Might Guy shouted before Obito could finish his hand seals.

With a sweeping flying kick, Obito was sent flying with a thud.

The students in Class A, still waiting with anticipation: "..."

"The match is over, Class B Might Guy wins." Sugiyama Tomoji was speechless; he really didn't expect Obito to use a ninjutsu he hadn't mastered yet during the exam.

......

Seeing that the number of participants had been reduced to almost nothing, Sugiyama Tomoji looked at the list of available spots in his hand and shouted:

"Class A's Kakashi Hatake versus Class A's Lin Fan! Please step forward and form the opposing hand seals."

Kakashi and Lin Fan arrived at the arena.

"It's finally our turn." Kakashi seemed to have known all along that his opponent was Lin Fan, and he looked at Lin Fan intently: "This time, I will defeat you."

"Hmm, you can try." Lin Fan figured it out; Kakashi was probably holding a grudge because he had scared him with Uchiha Madara and Orochimaru.

The two formed a seal of opposition.

Sugiyama Tomoji left the venue.

The two people in the open space exchanged glances for a moment.

Kakashi was the first to set off.

"Body Flicker Technique!" Kakashi accelerated his body, his figure rapidly circling around Lin Fan.

Those inside the venue were shocked by what they saw.

Because being able to smoothly use a regular Body Flicker Technique requires at least the skill of a Chunin.

Kakashi did it before he even graduated!

"Clone Technique - Evolution +3": "Your clone efficiency is doubled, and your clones can be so realistic that they are indistinguishable from real ones. You can use your clones to create illusions of physical presence."

"Clone Technique!" Lin Fan completed the hand seals, and from his location, one clone after another appeared in the arena.

"Clones?" Kakashi saw more than a dozen clones run out and swung his short sword at the nearest clone.

stab-

Bang!

The clones dissipated.

"Wait, is this a shadow clone?" Kakashi was somewhat surprised when he felt the touch, and the next second he turned around and saw two Lin Fans running over.

A fist struck Kakashi's face, which Kakashi blocked with his sword. Then, Lin Fan kicked Kakashi in the stomach, forcing Kakashi to raise his knee to block.

boom!boom!

Kakashi was kicked several meters away.

"So strong." After regaining his footing, Kakashi gasped and carefully examined the dozen or so Lin Fans around him: "This shouldn't be the Shadow Clone Technique."

Kakashi clearly saw that Lin Fan only formed one hand seal: "That should be a forbidden technique, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

The people around gasped in amazement.

The two Chunin instructors were already terrified.

No, they didn't even teach him how to create shadow clones. Where did Lin Fan learn the technique of creating multiple shadow clones?

Hiruzen Sarutobi, in the Hokage's office, spat out a mouthful of water.

Then one of them, Lin Fan, stepped forward.

"wrong."

"This is just a clone technique."

"Impossible! I felt physical attacks from both of them!"

At this moment, Kakashi believed that Lin Fan was just playing him.

"It doesn't matter. Even if you master the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it's useless against my Hatake swordsmanship!"

We will win!

The figure carrying a ninja sword charged forward again. A Lin Fan was holding a kunai, but the kunai and the ninja sword did not collide. The ninja sword passed right through this "Lin Fan".

"This is impossible!" Kakashi's eyes widened as he passed through Lin Fan's body, and the next second another Lin Fan rushed over, grabbing a kunai... This one is real!

Kakashi landed with lightning speed, turned and handed the short sword to his left hand. He swung the sword with his left hand and dodged the kunai attack by sidestepping: "I won... What?!!"

At this moment, Kakashi attacked Lin Fan twice in a row, but both attacks failed.

It was as if Lin Fan here was all an illusion.

"Impossible, impossible!" Kakashi couldn't believe it, and then the new Lin Fan appeared behind Kakashi.

"Nothing is impossible!" Lin Fan grabbed Kakashi's clothes, tugged at them, and then swung out a palm strike.

boom--

Kakashi staggered and flew away.

After rolling for a while, before Kakashi could turn around, he fully raised his head.

A kunai flew by, grazing his face and leaving a long gash on the lawn.

"It's over." Lin Fan stood in front of Kakashi, holding a kunai in his hand.

Lin Fan pointed the kunai at Kakashi's head, and his voice was indeed coming from right in front of him.

Kakashi didn't believe it, so he reached out and tried to grab Lin Fan in front of him.

"It's fake... why is it still fake...?"

In Kakashi's mind, the Shadow Clone Technique is just an afterimage, and it makes no sound.

But a voice came from 'Lin Fan' in front of them.

Then a snap rang in Kakashi's ear.

Lin Fan slapped him.

"How about it? Do you still think I'm a clone?" 'Lin Fan' looked down at Kakashi, who had turned his head to the side.

Kakashi understood.

"—Illusion."

No wonder, no wonder he couldn't attack these clones, but when these clones attacked him, he could clearly feel the force.

Now, when a slap lands on his face, he feels no pain at all. Even turning his head and hearing the slap sound are just his imagination!

He, Kakashi, lost.

......

All of them disappeared, leaving Lin Fan standing in the same spot where he had just thrown out the kunai.

"Is this your improved clone technique? Illusionary clone?" Kakashi got up from the ground. He acknowledged Lin Fan. Whether it was the perfect simulation of the transformation technique or the talent in improving this clone technique, he couldn't compare to Lin Fan at all.

"What illusionary clone? This is the clone technique."

"You're lying!"

How could a clone technique possibly create the illusion of an attack on the brain?

"Hmph! I won't lose to you! I won't graduate until I defeat you!"

Kakashi walked away arrogantly, and Lin Fan's lips twitched.

Who cares if you graduate or not? Anyway, he'll graduate after learning the Three Bodies Technique and go learn something new.

......

After everyone finished the exam, Lin Fan went back to the classroom to get his score report.

[Liberal Arts: 687 points (out of 700)]

[Ninja Course: S (S is the highest score, D is a passing grade)]

[Rank: 1]

"Brother Lin Fan, you were so cool in today's practical exam. By the way, what score did you get?" After praising Lin Fan a few times, Yuhi Kurenai wanted to sneak a peek at his report card.

It was just a report card. Lin Fan casually handed it to Kurenai Yuhi: "See? I told you the exams were easy."

Kurenai took it and looked at it with a smile.

Then, her smile froze.

My hands were trembling as I held the report card.

"687 points! S-rank in Ninja Studies! First in the entire grade?!"

Kurenai Yuhi's voice was loud in the classroom.

Mitarashi Anko was dumbfounded. She got up, looked at Lin Fan's test paper, and then looked at her own.

[Liberal Arts: 478 points (out of 700)]

[Ninja Course: A (S is full marks, D is passing)]

[Rank: 16]

This is unfair!!

"No way, this can't be! What rank did you get, you idiot Kakashi?" Obito blushed and ran to Kakashi's seat, looking at his own 60th place ranking, which meant he had fallen out of Class A.

Kakashi was looking down dejectedly. "Take it, and don't bother me."

Obito quickly took the report card and checked it.

[Liberal Arts: 598 points (out of 700)]

[Ninja Course: S (S is the highest score, D is a passing grade)]

[Rank: 2]

"Kakashi, you actually dropped to second place!" Obito was both happy and sad.

I'm happy that Kakashi's ranking has dropped.

The sad thing is that Kakashi's ranking dropped, and he and Obito couldn't beat Lin Fan, who was ranked first.
