Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 49 Test

Nowadays, the graduation exams for ninja academies are divided into three categories: written exams, ninjutsu exams, and practical combat exams.

The written test, needless to say, covered basic ninja knowledge, such as hand gestures, code words, ninja tips, and tactical formations. It also included some historical and cultural knowledge, as well as physics and mathematics, although the scores for this section were not high.

Led by Teacher Aoyama, we entered the building specifically prepared for the ninja graduation exams. We found the teacher in charge of the tests and received a number plate.

"Go upstairs to your classroom and seat according to the number indicated on your sign, and get ready for the written test!"

The teacher in charge of distributing the exam number plates gave Toshiro a wooden number plate that was six or seven centimeters wide and fifteen centimeters long. He glanced at him expressionlessly and then ignored him.

However, it was Mr. Aoyama, the teacher who brought him, who looked at his student about to enter the examination room. He couldn't help but say, "Good luck, Toshiro! Your teacher and classmates all believe in you! You can succeed!"

"Thank you, Professor Aoyama! No problem!"

As she spoke, she gave him an OK sign.

[I've never seen Aoyama-sensei pay this much attention to him before. It's really unexpected that he'd pull something like this right before graduation...]

While thinking about these things, some things remained unresolved. As he walked towards the stairs at the corner, he glanced down at the number plate in his hand.

"This is……"

Just a glance at Toshiro made him slightly stunned. The number plate had two rows of numbers, the top row saying 201 and the bottom row saying 12. It should be room 201, seat number 12 on the second floor. But what a load of rubbish…

With just a glance, Toshiro noticed the trickery. The wooden number plate had been decorated with a simple illusion.

This illusion is quite simple.

It's so simple it can't even be called an illusion; it only serves to confuse the user. Even students from the ninja academy could discover its secrets with a little careful observation.

This was also one of the test questions prepared for them by the Ninja Academy. If they could fall for such a simple illusion technique, then becoming a ninja would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.

[I never expected the ninja academy graduation exam to give me such a surprise!]

[It's somewhat similar to the Chunin Exams in the original story!]

Upon going upstairs, I found classroom 201 directly to my left, and several other classrooms such as 202 and 203 to my right. Classroom 201 was already quite full, and a few people were arguing about their seats.

Looks like these idiots are all going to be eliminated. They didn't even notice such an obvious loophole as duplicate seat numbers. Their intelligence is seriously questionable!

Ignoring room 201 directly to the left of the stairs, I turned right and entered room 202 on the right. Pushing open the door and entering the classroom, I found that quite a few people were already there, roughly 40 people.

I found my seat, number 21, and discovered a sheet of white paper and a pencil already placed on the desk. These were pre-prepared exam supplies.

The left side of his seat was against the wall, and to his right sat a little white-haired boy wearing a mask; he looked somewhat familiar.

"Yo! Kakashi, long time no see! I didn't expect to run into you in the exam hall!"

"..."

Hearing someone call his name, Kakashi Hatake turned around indifferently, without saying a word, and gave Toshiro a faint glance with his dead fish eyes.

That counts as having given prior notice.

He vaguely remembered the person next to him. They must have bumped into each other a few times on the street, but so what? Just a familiar stranger…

Is this the kind of expression this guy is making right now?

[It must be the impact of Sakumo Hatake's affair on him. It's more serious than I imagined!]

She wasn't angry at Kakashi's cold expression; after all, he was a pitiful person. He lost his parents at a young age.

He started his ninja career at the age of five or six. He finally found a good friend, but his friend died in the end to save him.

Then he killed with his own hands the comrade he had promised to protect for life. Even his teacher, known as the Yellow Flash and the fastest ninja in the world, died on the night of the Nine-Tails.

It can be said that he experienced all the death, killing, pain and tears that a ninja goes through during his childhood.

He didn't have to wait long, only about ten minutes. A group of five people walked into the classroom. Four of them sat in the four corners, each holding a clipboard, looking like proctors.

"Alright, now I'll go over the exam rules. Anyone caught cheating will be immediately disqualified!"

"Now we'll start distributing the exam papers. Please pass them to each other."

The remaining teacher didn't waste any time. After briefly explaining the exam rules, he distributed the test papers.

[What a simple and brutal exam rule: cheating results in immediate disqualification. Hmm! Is having students pass exam papers to each other an opportunity to cheat?]

Looking at the students in the classroom, some were trying to appear calm, some had worried expressions, and others had nonchalant faces. Toshiro couldn't help but think.

[Being a ninja really is a profession that produces a lot of academically challenged students!]

Looking at the large blank spaces on the exam paper in his hand, Toshiro sighed. It seemed there were quite a few things to be tested.

After scanning both sides of the test paper and getting a general idea of ​​the questions, Toshiro picked up his pencil and began to solve the problems.

How to calculate the flight trajectory of a shuriken, given a certain momentum and angle, without considering wind speed?

Please list the parts of the human body that are fatal.

Please indicate the temperature of the following flames of different colors.

Looking at the different questions on the exam paper, Toshiro felt a sense of returning to his high school days in his previous life, frantically writing in the exam hall.

Think back to those dark and hopeless days. Even though we live in different worlds and through different lifetimes, he can still deeply understand that torment.

In less than 30 minutes, he had filled in all the blank spaces on both sides of the exam paper. After checking his name and answers one last time, Toshiro got up and handed in his paper early.

At this point, the exam was only halfway through. Very few candidates had completed even half the questions. His ability to finish the exam in such a short time attracted considerable attention.

Some students only filled in a few strokes on their exam papers, and they looked at him with gritted teeth.

Ignoring the stares of the underachievers, he was surprised to find that less than a minute after he left the classroom, another student had finished the exam just like him, handed in their paper early, and left the classroom.

The one who came out was none other than Kakashi Hatake, who was not even six years old and had participated in the ninja exam.
