The exams were in full swing below. In the furthest shadows of the audience seating in the exam hall, two Anbu silently watched the students below.
Their primary duty was to maintain order, and their secondary task was to investigate the information of all the students. In other words, if any outstanding students emerged, they would immediately come to the attention of Konoha's high-ranking officials.
The two Anbu stood in separate corners. One of them was Hatake Kakashi, an Anbu directly under the Hokage.
And Kakashi, the guy known for his fifty-fifty performance, was currently observing the girl extracting chakra in the arena.
"So this is Uchiha Naraka? She actually has such a large amount of chakra, but she's not good at theory or shurikenjutsu? No wonder the Hokage is so interested in her. Truly terrifying talent."
This was the first time he had paid attention to this girl, but he didn't know that she would become… well, spoilers are shameful.
Under their observation, the Chunin teacher finally announced that Naraka had passed the test.
"Wow, looking at it like this, Uchiha Naraka is super cute!"
A lot of the boys were giving Naraka strange looks, as if they were plotting how to "accidentally" run into her.
"Naraka, I didn't realize your chakra reserves were so impressive."
Uchiha Itachi looked at Naraka with surprise.
"We all have our strengths, don't we? Your shurikenjutsu is something I can't compete with, Itachi."
Naraka brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her casual smile breathtaking.
[Congratulations, Host, your favorability with Uchiha Itachi has increased, gaining 20 currency points.]
Uchiha Itachi was momentarily stunned, staring at Naraka. He knew she was beautiful, but he was still often stunned by her casual movements and smiles.
"Y-yes."
Uchiha Itachi turned his head, trying to avoid Naraka seeing his embarrassment.
The exam on chakra extraction quickly concluded.
Besides Uchiha Naraka and Uchiha Itachi, perhaps only the students from the ninja clans were a bit stronger than the other civilian students.
There were even quite a few children who couldn't extract chakra at all.
It's worth mentioning that Uchiha Izumi's chakra levels were also close to the Chunin level. Although she couldn't compare to the other two, she was still quite impressive.
Naraka thought for a moment, this girl awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of 13, so this level was normal.
If she didn't die during the Uchiha massacre, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to become an elite Jonin later on.
"Alright, it seems like everyone has rested enough. Now we'll begin the final part of the exam—the Taijutsu test."
The middle-aged Chunin teacher crossed his arms and said sternly,
"The test method is also very simple. You will each take the test one by one. Just use your full strength to attack me. Let me be clear, I won't pass you if you don't come at me with the determination to kill me."
Hearing the teacher's words, almost all the students became nervous. They didn't expect the exam to be so strict.
Soon, the first student stepped forward to take the test. At first, he was quite orderly, making noises and swinging his small arms and legs.
Unfortunately, it was useless. Later, the child was probably anxious and started throwing wild punches.
In the end, he was easily blocked by the Chunin teacher's head.
And then… he was eliminated.
"Next, Uchiha Naraka."
It's my turn again? Alright, time to get a perfect score.
Naraka quickly approached the middle-aged teacher.
The middle-aged teacher looked at Naraka's delicate face, and thought to himself.
Uchiha Naraka, huh?
I'll show you that talent alone isn't enough. Only constant effort will allow you to survive in the ninja world.
Remember this, Naraka, this is the first lesson your uncle will teach you.
The Chunin teacher was brimming with conviction at that moment, feeling like he was saving a genius on the verge of falling. Who else could do something so meaningful?
Imagining a grown-up Naraka, elegant and graceful, clinging to his arm and calling him "Teacher" years from now, he said in a low voice,
"Naraka, you can start now. Remember, you won't pass unless you come at me with the determination to kill me. Come on."
The Chunin teacher continued to cross his arms, looking down on Naraka with a cool air.
And our classmate, Naraka, stared at the burly middle-aged teacher, lost in thought for a moment.
Are the exams at the Ninja Academy really this strict?
Well, so be it. Time to fight then, as long as I don't actually kill him.
And so, the straightforward Naraka charged towards the Chunin teacher.
The Chunin teacher was startled by Naraka's speed. He quickly got into a defensive stance, and in that instant, Naraka's left fist had already come at him.
The Chunin teacher swiftly parried, but Naraka's fist landed squarely on his arm.
Such strength.
As the middle-aged teacher was still reeling from the impact, Naraka's Battlefield Ardor activated. Her delicate right fist shot out toward the teacher's face with lightning speed.
"Nani?!"
Naraka's punch was simply too fast. The teacher couldn't react in time and was knocked back a few steps.
His face immediately began to swell from the blow.
All the students watching below gaped in astonishment.
"The teacher got hit! This Uchiha Naraka is so strong!"
Hatake Kakashi, observing the scene from the shadows, raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"This Uchiha Naraka's Taijutsu is something else. Her fundamentals are rock solid, and her punches are incredibly fast. Is she really just a six-year-old girl?"
If those on the sidelines were this surprised, imagine how the teacher, the one in the thick of it, felt.
His head was buzzing from Naraka's attacks; he was completely dazed.
This highlighted the difference between a school teacher and someone who had constantly fought on the battlefield. The Cloud Village Chunin had been beaten far worse, yet he had remained remarkably calm.
He had even been thinking of forming hand seals to counterattack.
But this teacher's performance was far less impressive.
Skull Cracker
Naraka still remembered what the middle-aged teacher had just said: to attack him with the intent to kill!
So, she couldn't hold back!
The middle-aged teacher was instantly grabbed by Naraka, his body losing balance in a flash, and then he was taken down with a beautiful back throw.
Thus, Battlefield Ardor was triggered again. With Naraka unleashing a flurry of attacks, the middle-aged teacher was screaming in pain.
"Alright! Alright, you've passed, you've passed!"
The Chunin teacher beside them saw his colleague being utterly dominated. He was worried the girl might actually kill her own colleague.
He quickly ran over to stop her, signaling that Naraka had passed the exam.
Naraka, being sensible, stopped immediately.
And then, she kindly prepared to help the middle-aged teacher up.
However, although the middle-aged teacher's face was bruised and swollen, he still stubbornly waved his hand, and shakily got up from the ground himself.
Damn, I let my guard down, my face is completely numb.
I bet it's already swollen…
This little girl is really from the Uchiha clan? Damn it, why doesn't she know the things she should, but knows everything she shouldn't?
Never mind, a person can be beaten, but they can't lose face, otherwise how will I teach in the future?
He lightly brushed the dust off his body, continued to fold his arms, and said coldly with a swollen face:
"Your Taijutsu is very good. I was careless just now, you've passed. Go back."
He looked so nonchalant, quite the picture of cool.
Of course, he'd be even cooler if Naraka hadn't smacked him around.
"Teacher Inoue? Are you alright? Should I take over the exam?"
A Chunin teacher beside him asked with concern.
"I'm perfectly fine, Nakamura, don't worry."
"Alright then, next up, Uchiha Itachi!"
Uchiha Itachi was the second to step forward, feeling a little sorry for Teacher Inoue, who had just been beaten up by Naraka.
"Itachi, you may begin. Remember, I won't let you pass unless you come at me with the resolve to kill me."
Teacher Inoue still stood with his arms crossed, looking dashing.
But he looked at Uchiha Itachi opposite him, thought for a moment, and then continued, "You understand what I mean, right?"
"I understand, Teacher. I will do my best."
Itachi looked at Teacher Inoue, whose face was already red and swollen, and was filled with respect. What a great spirit of dedication.
Hearing Itachi's words, Teacher Inoue's eyebrows jumped, and he couldn't help but take a step back. Don't joke around.
"No, no, no, I don't think you understand. Listen to me."
