Chapter 5: End of year exam, the strongest brain

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is March of Konoha's 55th year.

Before I know it, the first grade of study is coming to an end.

In April, the first grade will be promoted to the second grade.

But before the holidays come, the first graders have to take a big test.

It is also this big exam that will select the best student who will represent the entire grade.

March 18th.

At six o'clock in the morning, Yagyu had woken up from his sleep and was exercising in his yard.

After the daily morning training, Yagyu took a shower and started making breakfast.

After finishing breakfast and drinking a full glass of milk, Yagyu formed a seal with his hands, separated two shadow clones, and asked them to start working as usual.

As for Yagyu's true body, he is heading to the ninja school.

During the day, there is a cultural test, and you only need to answer the questions.

The important assessment is in the afternoon.

Although it is said to be important, it is actually just one more survival exercise than the quiz.

To describe it as a survival exercise is a bit exaggerated. It was actually a hide-and-seek game.

The sixth grade graduation exam only selects one of the three body arts for assessment.

In the first grade, there are mainly cultural classes. Children who are not from a ninja family don't even have a training scroll for the Three Body Technique.

The practical lessons in the afternoon were either shuriken throwing or taijutsu competitions, not even hand-to-hand combat with kunai.

These courses allow them to accumulate mental and physical energy and lay a solid foundation.

During this year, the school only taught them one technique, and that was... the technique of invisibility.

Invisibility and instantaneous body techniques may seem very advanced, but they are actually more basic than the Three Body Technique.

When Naruto first appeared on the scene, he used Konoha's teleportation and invisibility techniques to trick the ninjas who captured him.

The reason why these two techniques give people a high-level feeling is because there are many guys using them in various ways.

Yagyu felt that the afternoon survival drill, if nothing else, would test their invisibility skills.

"Hey... Yagyu, good morning!"

"Good morning, Yagyu-kun."

"Yagyu-kun, do you want to play with us after the exam?"

"Yagyu, can you throw me a note when you take the exam? Please, if I fail, my mother will beat me to death!"

"..."

Arriving at the classroom, many male and female classmates greeted Yagyu.

Yagyu responded to them with a smile, and sometimes even stopped to exchange a few words with them, full of patience.

Unlike the aloof Sasuke and Naruto, who has no one to play with, Yagyu has given himself a central air conditioner, and is very gentle no matter who he faces.

After all, only he knows how many talents are produced in this classroom.

There were two of them, the savior and the Hokage, and the others were either the heads of the ninja clan or the leaders of a certain department in Konoha.

Who knows that in addition to these little heroes, the little Karami who has not been mentioned in other plots will also become a real figure in the future?

So before Goldfinger awakened, Yagyu took advantage of the fact that he was still a genius to leave a good impression on his classmates.

Even though he is now fused with Asura's chakra and his strength is unquestionable No. 1 in the class, Yagyu has not ruined this character.

One more friend means one less enemy.

The main thing is human connection!

After chatting with his classmates, Yagyu finally came to his seat.

Just as he sat down, a small hand patted Yagyu's shoulder from behind.

I saw Ino sitting behind Yagyu, smiling and saying: "Yagyu, you have to work hard for the next exam. You must win the title of chief student."

"I'll try my best." Liu Sheng nodded with a smile.

"Yagyu, is there any blood inheritance limit in your family, and then you quietly awakened?"

At this time, a voice sounded from beside Yagyu.

I saw Nara Shikamaru lying on the table with a pair of dead fish eyes as if he had not yet woken up. He said quietly: "Since you defeated Naruto a few months ago, you seem to have changed."

"You are so smart, you might as well guess." Yagyu teased.

"ha……"

Nara Shikamaru yawned, sat up straight, stretched and said, "Anyway, there must be some change in your body."

Ino said angrily: "Who doesn't have any secrets in their body? Why are you gossiping like this?"

"Yes...I'm talking too much."

Nara Shikamaru nodded helplessly as he looked at Ino who raised his pink fist and looked like he would beat you if you talk too much.

But at the same time, the curiosity in his heart was still growing day by day.

If it were anyone else, Nara Shikamaru wouldn't be bothered to wonder.

Even though Naruto had a special status, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The only exception is... Yagyu.

After a year of observation, Nara Shikamaru discovered that Yagyu, his deskmate, was completely different in the first half of the year and the second half of the year.

Yagyu in the first half of the year was too fake in the eyes of Nara Shikamaru.

Nara Shikamaru, who has the strongest brain and dazzling eyes, thinks that the smile that easily wins the favor of others is a natural talent for acting.

This guy Yagyu is a precocious genius like himself, but he is too purposeful.

So Nara Shikamaru actually didn't have much favorable impression of Yagyu, the deskmate who deliberately sat next to him.

But in the second half of the year, Nara Shikamaru's perception of Yagyu changed dramatically.

Because in the past half year, this guy Yagyu has become real.

That purposeful smile, even if the mask-like smile was flawless, could not hide the gloom between the eyebrows, all disappeared.

Nara Shikamaru, who was still young, could not understand why a person changed so much, so when chatting with his father, he asked his father for advice.

After getting several answers from his father, Nara Shikamaru realized that Yagyu's change was that his mentality became more confident.

And Yagyu's change started from defeating Naruto.

That's why Nara Shikamaru was so curious.

How could he become confident after defeating a guy who was always the last in every small test, even every random test?

There is no doubt that Yagyu either had some changes or was hiding some secrets.

This change and secret is the key to making him no longer full of purpose, no longer needing to act and build good relationships with others, and confident that he can surpass everyone.

Today's big test may show some clues.

Thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru suddenly became a little interested in this big test.

Yagyu didn't know what Nara Shikamaru was thinking.

If you knew, you would definitely sigh, he is worthy of being the future military strategist and the 'eighth Hokage'.

He can see so much at the age of six or seven, which is not inferior to Uchiha Itachi who had the thinking of Hokage at the age of seven.
