Chapter 8 Entrance Examination

On the day of the entrance examination, the weather was sunny.

Groups of children gathered at the ninja school. A small number of them were parents of candidates, and most of them were villagers who came to watch the fun.

In Konoha Village, where entertainment activities are scarce, entrance exams, graduation exams, and chunin exams are rare events that can attract the whole village to watch.

The parents of the candidates gathered together to watch the examination process. A small number of the parents were ninjas wearing forehead protectors, and the rest were civilians.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the lively stands smoking silently. He liked this kind of scene and looked around with a smile.

After the death of the second generation, Hiruzen Sarutobi officially took over the power of Hokage, and at the same time was under pressure from the war and the ninja family.

At that time, the second-generation Hokage was seriously injured due to the rebellious attack on Kumogakure, and the second-generation Raikage died in the battle at that time. Kumogakure, who was full of muscles, gritted his teeth and continued the war.

The Sandaime who had just succeeded to the throne was unable to fully mobilize the power of Konoha and had to adopt some radical strategies. He graduated a large number of civilian ninjas early and put them on the battlefield to win the war at the cost of their lives, forcing Kumogakure to surrender.

Victory brought the Sandaime enough prestige, but seriously damaged his power base.

Half of the Konoha ninjas who survived the war were Ninja ninjas. Not only that, three-quarters of the Chuunin and 90% of the Jounin were Ninja ninjas.

With such a large numerical advantage, especially the absolute advantage of senior ninjas, the ninjas naturally gained power and overshadowed the Hokage.

After all, Naruto is the Hokage, and he has righteousness when fighting for power. Hiruzen Sarutobi adopted a strategy of dividing the Ninja clan. The Ninja clan headed by Ino Shiga Die soon joined the Sandaime's camp and became his core force.

In addition to gaining support from some ninja clans, the Sandaime Hokage also expanded the authority and number of ANBU, absorbed elite chunin from the ninja clan, and won supporters by transforming the thoughts of ANBU ninjas.

This policy effectively expanded the Hokage's power, but it also gave the ninjas the opportunity to infiltrate the Anbu.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen authorized Shimura Danzo to establish the "Anbu Training Institute", the Roots, to absorb orphans and ninja orphans to train ninjas to ensure that at least some of the ANBU were not infiltrated.

The two led the Anbu and the Roots to work closely together under the leadership of the two. They used various methods openly and secretly without scruples to win over the young ninjas, drive the opposing ninjas from important positions, and finally regain the power. .

Of course, both the Anbu and the Roots grew rapidly during this process. The problem was that the Roots, led by the gloomy Danzo, acted increasingly darker.

…

After Sarutobi Hiruzen gained the power, he naturally showed off his abilities.

"I recommend doubling the number of students admitted to this year's ninja school."

Sarutobi Hiruzen clasped the ashes of his cigarette and whispered.

"Agree."×4

Mito Kadeni, Koharu Koharu, Shimura Danzo, and Akimichi Kaifeng all agreed in unison.

Seventy percent of the ninjas in the school stands are ninjas from the ninja clan, but there is not such a large proportion of candidates from family backgrounds, and each ninja clan will not take out all their children.

The Ninja clan sends out the best and the most mediocre disciples. The outstanding disciples strive for honors, while the mediocre disciples find their own way out.

Even the most mediocre ninja children have received basic ninjutsu education. Their foundation is far better than that of ordinary people. Their test scores are all in the upper reaches and they will definitely pass the exam.

Doubling the number of new students at this time meant that all the new students were children of civilians, and in a few years all genin would be civilian ninjas.

"Oh? How interesting." Orochimaru suddenly said, "We have been discovered."

"It should be a child of the Aburame family. He has keen perception and the gift of perception?"

"Maybe not." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, looking like an interesting insect.

Today's Aburame Tetsumaru is very eye-catching, with a jelly-like slime stuck to his head.

Soft, elastic, candy-colored, translucent, and with big watery eyes, slime perfectly interprets what cuteness is, and the slime's mount becomes the focus of the audience.

Aburame Tetsumaru was concentrating on exploring the ninjas in charge of security around the examination room, completely ignoring the awkward atmosphere.

He found the lurking ninjas around the examination room one by one, and then distinguished their strength, including genin, chunin, and suspected jounin.

Aburame Tetsumaru's perception ability was discovered in these two days. The chakra circulation is very stable. By observing the chakra of the chakra through insight, signs of chakra interference can be observed.

With a little thought, you can identify the information about the interference source. By combining the frequency, intensity, amplitude, and angle of the interference, you can know a lot of information about the interference source.

Finally, it was confirmed by the slime on Aburame Tetsumaru's head that the big watery eyes have infrared vision and dynamic vision, as well as telescope functions.

After sensing the source of chakra and roughly locating it, and directly observing it through the Aburame's secret technique to link the slime's vision, the target can be easily locked.

Slime was discovered by Tetsumaru Aburame in the forest of the Aburame family.

The Aburame family has been playing with bugs for hundreds of years, and they have collected countless bugs. They have collected countless types of bugs from all over the world, and finally released them in the forest.

All kinds of bugs are restrained by Aburame's secret technique, and they are crowded in a forest area of ​​less than five square kilometers. The competition for survival is extremely cruel, and the bugs that can survive until Aburame Tetsumaru comes to collect them all have unique skills.

In the eyes of Aburame Tetsumaru, it is a super treasure house. Surprising bugs can be found casually. There may be a way to change your destiny hidden in this group of bugs.

When the slime was discovered, it was only about the size of a grain of rice. It was a soft amoeba that looked more like a mutation of a slug.

Because it happened to be at night when it was discovered, it was fortunately confirmed that the bug had both dynamic vision and night vision capabilities. Aburame Tetsumaru was very excited at the time.

What is the limit of the strongest blood successor in Konoha Village? Of course it is the Byakugan and Sharingan.

Aburame Tetsumaru will definitely not be able to awaken the red and white eyes, but she can make her own eyes.

After cultivation, the amoeba becomes larger, its eyes are rounder, its vision is significantly enhanced, and it can adjust focus through deformation.

In view of its image becoming more and more like some kind of cute monster, Aburame Tetsumaru named the amoeba Slime.

Using slime as a starting point, Aburame Tetsumaru formulated the Eye of Truth plan, copying a certain wizard's mask upgrade plan.

The True Eye will combine telescope, perspective, dynamic vision, chakra vision, infrared vision, ultraviolet vision, low-light vision, illusion attack, illusion defense and other functions.

The final version of the Real Eye function will combine electromagnetic force, gravity, particles, vibration, soul and other extraordinary vision.

Now the slime on Aburame Tetsumaru's head has successfully increased the dynamic vision of the single Magatama Sharingan on the basis of night vision, magnification, and distance vision. The only thing left to reach the first stage of the Eye of Reality project is the Byakugan's clairvoyance ability.

Aburame Tetsumaru lowered the observation frequency of his insight in order to sense farther away, and found several powerful ninjas watching the excitement on distant roofs and treetops, and then discovered the powerful chakra coming from the direction of Hokage Rock.

The eight strands of chakra are superimposed on each other, as intense as the sun.

Aburame Tetsumaru was a little confused. This was a powerful ninja he had never seen before, and it was obviously beyond the standards he expected for a jounin.

Unable to restrain his curiosity, he ordered the slime to activate his telescope ability, twist his body to squeeze his big eyes into an olive shape, and then he could clearly see the source of chakra.

The eight people were divided into three rows, headed by the Sandaime Hokage. The Hokage's hat and feathers were very distinctive.

The three people in the third row are the three disciples of the Hokage. The characteristics of pornography, gambling and drug addiction are very familiar in my memory. They are easy to recognize.

Among the four people in the second row, three of them should be Hokage assistants. Their appearance is quite different from the old and haggard appearance in their memory.

Damn it, Danzo is actually a middle-aged handsome guy.

The old lady who went to bed was actually pretty good-looking, but she had a mean look on her face.

In the next few years, the appearance of these two people will decline greatly. The butcher's knife of time will be very cruel to them.

The middle-aged man who wears glasses probably has Mito Menitis, which is nothing special.

There is another person I have seen for the first time, but his round body shape is so iconic. He belongs to the Akimichi family, so it must be Akimichi Takafeng.

Aburame Tetsumaru quietly compared the amount of chakra between himself and these eight people, and was horrified to find that his chakra was equivalent to one-tenth of the third generation.

Aburame Tetsumaru knew that his chakra was growing rapidly, and he even worried about it and researched hidden methods. However, he really didn't know how much chakra he had. He just blindly guessed that it was equal to the Senju clan? Or the Whirlpool Clan?

This is because he has no control sample. All he can observe is his father and mother. The strongest father is just a chuunin and has long been surpassed.

With Aburame Tetsumaru's current status, it is not difficult to find a jounin in Konoha Village, but which jounin would fully refine chakra in front of a child and let him observe it carefully?

It wasn't until I accidentally saw the Sandaime Hokage today, and the Hokage was performing some unknown ninjutsu, that I had the opportunity to carefully observe the chakra of one of the "strongest" ninjas.

Naruto is theoretically the strongest ninja in Konoha Village. The Sandaime Hokage is famous for his large-scale combination of ninjutsu, and his chakra volume far exceeds that of a Jonin.

Aburame Tetsumaru's chakra amount is equivalent to 10% of his, which means that the amount of chakra in a single round has reached the lower limit of a jounin.

A layer of white hairy sweat instantly appeared on his back. Fortunately, the chakra circulation reduced his dissipated chakra fluctuations to one-fortieth, otherwise he would definitely be exposed after starting the exam today.

During the exam, it was discovered that his chakra was even more exaggerated than that of Senju and Uzumaki. Who knew what kind of trouble would be laid? A certain pot shadow would definitely be tempted to take action.

The most deceiving thing is that the Aburame family may not refuse the recruitment of the roots, because the family has dozens of ninjas serving in the roots, and it is the tradition of the Aburame family to join the roots.

When Aburame Tetsumaru was thinking wildly, the slime suddenly issued a gaze-locked alarm, and the warning was superimposed eight times in an instant.

Slime's warning method is to emit bioelectricity, stimulating Tiewan's auditory nerve to emit auditory hallucinations. The way to increase the number of times is to double the voltage, but Tiewan has never tried the effect of eight times the intensity of the voltage.

If the voltage was too strong, it would turn from auditory hallucinations to electric shocks. Tetsumaru's hair stood on edge and his head was buzzing. He quickly picked the slime off his head.

After removing the slime's vision, Aburame Tetsumaru intuitively felt the oppressive gaze.

Isn't that right? You can't even look at it?

See if it really works. Ninjas are a very sensitive fighting profession. Staring is a dangerous provocation and very impolite. It is normal for conflicts to break out, and it is not uncommon for people to kill because of this.

The Hokage, the Sannin, and the four senior officials came to stare at him, in order to teach this ignorant boy a lesson, so that he would not be beaten to death for snooping around in the future.

It wasn't until Aburame Tetsumaru was about to take the exam that the staring eyes finally disappeared. He quickly adjusted his mentality and promised Elder Shiki that he would be admitted to Class A and that he would make a splash today.

Soothe the slime, let it stick to the head again, and use a secret technique to connect the chakra link.

It must be updated as soon as possible. The warning method must be changed to frequency conversion. Increasing the voltage is really painful. Aburame Tetsumaru is mentally calculating how to adjust the new slime production sequence.

The entrance exam for the Ninja School is simple: long-distance running, culture, and optional combat as bonus points.

Aburame Tetsumaru's physical fitness was far superior to that of her peers. During the ten-lap, five-kilometer long-distance race, she lapped the second place by two full laps.

The cultural exam in the afternoon is simpler. After all, it is used to screen out civilian geniuses. It cannot be set too difficult. If civilian children who lack educational resources can get certain results in the exam, they are definitely talented.

After handing in the paper in advance, he sat under the shade of the school playground and waited for the final fighting test. Aburame Tetsumaru took down the slime, checked its status, and fed it.

As a newly cultivated ninja insect, slime must be carried around during the fifteen-day development period after hatching, and secret techniques must be continuously applied. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that slime will fail to develop and cannot sense the secret of Aburame Tetsumaru. technique.

In order not to waste the 90,000 taels of training costs, Aburame Tetsumaru could only take the slime to take the exam.

Not all candidates are required to take the next fighting exam, but those who do not perform well will not be able to enter Class A, and their future prospects will be limited.

The fighting exam is a platform for ninja clans to compete. Excellent disciples represent a strong future. Families with poor performance will be considered to be on the decline, which is very shameful and may cause huge losses.

When the time was almost up, Aburame Tetsumaru began to warm up, adjusted her physical condition to the best, arrived at the examination room with confidence, and inspected the surrounding candidates.

Not many students took part in the fighting exam, and soon it was Aburame Tetsumaru's turn.

"Aburame Tetsumaru enters."

"Enter Inuzuka Takeshi."

As the two children came on the stage, the cheers outside the stadium began to get louder.

"Come on Tiewan, you are the best!"

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, you are the strongest!"

“@#￥%\u0026!!”

My father, who usually tried to act calm, cheered himself up so loudly that his voice broke.

Aburame Tetsumaru was not moved at all, she was very embarrassed.

According to the rules of the entrance exam, manipulative ninja beasts, ninja bugs, psychic beasts, including parasitic bugs, are not allowed, and Inuzuka Takeshi did not bring a dog to the appearance.

This is because these creatures are independent, especially the psychic beasts, which may have jounin-level combat power. There is no point in testing if these creatures are allowed to compete.

When it comes to the ninja school graduation exam, ninja beasts related to secret arts are allowed to play, and psychic beasts don't matter.

Aburame doesn't need to send bugs to fight against Inuzuka, and doesn't need to bear dogs to fight against weak chickens.

Inuzuka Takeshi: Great, it’s the bastard Tetsumaru. He can’t use despicable methods here. I want to take revenge severely.

Aburame Tetsumaru: This unlucky guy must think that I will win if I can’t use the props.

"Both sides, form a seal of opposition."

"start!"

Inuzuka Takeshi ran quickly on his hands and feet, running diagonally in an arc, trying to get around from the left.

Aburame Tetsumaru raised his hands to his chest, covering his face, and moved his feet to keep facing him head-on.

After turning half a circle, Inuzuka Takeshi suddenly accelerated, faster than Aburame Tetsumaru's turning speed, quickly ran to the blind spot of vision, and immediately turned around and sprinted.

The proud Inuzuka Takeshi didn't notice that although Aburame Tetsumaru didn't keep up with him as he circled back, the slime on his head was staring closely at him.

When Inuzuka Takeshi sprinted to only two arms' distance, Aburame Tetsumaru suddenly turned around, took an unexpected step forward, and broke through Inuzuka Takeshi's safety circle. At the same time, his hands were already raised to shoulder height.

Inuzuka Takeshi was invaded by the iron pill into the dangerous inner circle. Without the appropriate attack distance, he subconsciously stopped, leaned back and distanced his upper body, and at the same time subconsciously launched a counterattack with his right hand.

Aburame Tetsumaru guessed correctly. He easily caught Inuzuka's counterattacking right wrist with his raised hands. He turned to the left with the help of his opponent's strength, straightened his hands, and aimed his right shoulder at Inuzuka Takeshi's chest. , forcing him to protect himself with his left hand.

Aburame Tetsumaru felt that Inuzuka Takeshi had lost his center of gravity after blocking with his left hand. He adjusted his footing, then threw his hands downward, clamped Inuzuka Takeshi's right arm under his armpit, then used his waist to rotate to the left, and at the same time, his right leg Bend your knees and jump up with your left leg on the ground.

With a bang, Aburame Tetsumaru threw Inuzuka Takeshi to the ground.

With the help of a hand lock, Aburame Tetsumaru put all his weight on Inuzuka Takeshi, doubling the damage and knocking him unconscious.

"Aburame Tetsumaru wins."

The referee calmly announced the end, and then called the medical ninja to take Inuzuka Takeshi down.

Aburame Tetsumaru's parents were cheering loudly, but the other onlookers couldn't get up because there was no exciting confrontation, so very few of them clapped.

Inuzuka Takeshi's skills are quite good, and his tactics are also very particular, but Aburame Tetsumaru is too strong, and he knocked down Takeshi Inuzuka in a single encounter, leaving no chance for others to perform, and it is not known whether he can still enter Class A.

However, the ninja world generally recognizes that luck is a part of strength. In the last war, many jounin were obviously very strong, but died when they encountered stronger enemies. Some even died from being hit by stray arrows inexplicably. Luck is very important.

Aburame Tetsumaru kept her hand. When Inuzuka Takeshi's right wrist was caught, whether he turned to the left to connect with an elbow or knee, or turned to the right to connect with a reverse joint technique, it would cause serious fractures.

Even in the final fall, if Tetsumaru Aburame hadn't deliberately flattened Inuzuka Takeshi's back during the final fall, several ribs would have been broken.

They then played two more games, and after easily winning, they faced the most important opponent, Hyuga Tokuma of the wealthy Hyuga family.
