Ninja Academy.
Playground.
The teachers of the Ninja Academy were standing in formation, directing the students participating in the graduation exam to line up in order.
The Third Hokage and a group of elite Jōnin were standing on a platform not far away.
In front of these important figures, there could be no slightest mistake.
"Heh, heh, the little ones this year are full of vitality."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe, and the wrinkles on his face gathered.
"Hmph! A ninja is a tool, what kind of behavior is this, so cheerful and carefree?" Danzo Shimura growled beside him, frowning.
"Danzo, you're too strict."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Danzo Shimura a disapproving look. "Among this year's candidates, there are several very promising young people I hold in high regard."
"Oh?" Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Orochimaru, with his pale face beside him, showed a trace of curiosity in his serpent-like pupils. "Master, who do you favor most?"
"Mirai Uchiha."
"I've heard that boy has already awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, he's trained for some time with Fugaku, and he understands the Will of Fire very well. He has no flaws, no matter how you look at it," said Hiruzen Sarutobi indifferently.
"Tsk~"
Danzo Shimura curled his lips in disdain.
A Uchiha brat, what could he know about the Will of Fire?
On the other hand, Orochimaru, gazing at the playground, licked his lips with his tongue.
Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai are, in fact, inherently stronger than ordinary ninjas.
His own power had already reached a limit, and he had been unable to advance for a long time.
If he too could possess a powerful Kekkei Genkai, would everything change?
"Kakashi, if there are no surprises, Mirai Uchiha will be your opponent today, so don't let your guard down," Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled at Kakashi Hatake, who was standing at one end with his face covered by a mask.
Kakashi had graduated many years before, but he hadn't found suitable teammates and had become increasingly gloomy.
Therefore... by suggestion of Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi had decided to have Kakashi participate in this graduation exam as well.
"I won't fail," Kakashi Hatake's voice carried a hint of coldness.
With the title of "Konoha's Number One Genius," he was confident he wouldn't lose to anyone his age.
"Hahahaha... I hope we have an exciting duel," said Hiruzen Sarutobi with a wide smile.
Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his gaze toward a slightly younger Minato Namikaze behind him.
"Minato, this is the first time you're acting as a Jōnin instructor. Have you already chosen your disciples?"
"Lord Hokage, I've reviewed their files and already have a preliminary selection in mind."
Minato Namikaze scratched his head and smiled, radiating a warm and bright aura.
"That's good."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction.
As the few spoke, the graduation exam officially began.
...
"Those I call, step up. This battle will decide your future, you must give it your all and can't afford to be careless."
Oiwa Kimiyama's deep voice resonated, and the atmosphere in the place began to grow tense.
"First group: Might Guy vs. Obito Uchiha!"
No sooner had he finished speaking, a young man with a bowl-cut hairstyle and a tight green suit excitedly ran to the center of the field.
"I didn't expect to be the first, looks like I'll have to put on a good show."
"This is youth!"
Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, showing his characteristic teeth, full of energy.
Obito Uchiha, on the other hand, muttered angrily, "Seriously? My opponent is a failure?"
"I thought I'd teach that guy a lesson, Mirai Uchiha."
He reached Might Guy and, under everyone's watchful eyes, Oiwa Kimiyama raised his arm. "This time there's no need for the Confrontation Seal or the Reconciliation Seal. This is a real ninja battle, be careful not to die!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone's faces showed a mixture of excitement, agitation, and nervousness.
The atmosphere had completely ignited.
"Hey, bowl-cut boy, I advise you to surrender, or else I'll show mercy," Obito Uchiha arrogantly said to Might Guy.
If there was anyone at the Ninja Academy with worse grades than him, it was Might Guy.
Therefore, Obito Uchiha had great confidence in the upcoming battle.
"Youth doesn't allow retreat," Might Guy clenched his fists. "I'll fight with all my strength too!"
Seeing that both were ready, Oiwa Kimiyama lowered his arm firmly. "The battle begins!"
"Go, Obito!"
Rin Nohara's support cry was heard, and Obito Uchiha immediately turned to smile at her confidently. "Don't worry, Rin."
"I promise that..."
"Leaf Whirlpool of Konoha!"
Obito Uchiha hadn't finished speaking when he received a brutal kick from Might Guy in the face.
Thud!
With a dull sound, Obito Uchiha flew and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Winner, Might Guy!"
Seeing this dramatic scene, Rin Nohara covered her forehead with her hand, resigned.
That Obito, what the hell was he doing?!
"Hahahaha... I'm dying of laughter, and with this level, he wanted to challenge you, Mirai. I don't know where he gets all his confidence from."
Kurenai Yūhi was also laughing hard at Obito Uchiha's performance.
Getting knocked out by a kick just as it started, it was simply too ridiculous.
Oiwa Kimiyama sighed helplessly.
He had purposely paired Obito Uchiha with Might Guy, who had similar grades, but didn't expect him to be defeated instantly without even making a move.
What a headache.
But despite the headache, the exam had to continue.
Oiwa Kimiyama had no choice but to move on to the next battle.
"Next group: Kurenai Yūhi vs. Ebisu!"
"Go for it."
Mirai Uchiha cheered for Kurenai Yūhi, who nodded firmly and quickly walked to the center of the field.
Ebisu, on the other hand, lowered his head, blushing, too shy to look at Kurenai Yūhi.
"He's as repressed as in the original story," Mirai thought.
Seeing Ebisu's attitude, Mirai Uchiha already knew the result of this match.
Ebisu was going to lose, for sure.
Just as Mirai Uchiha had expected, Kurenai Yūhi easily defeated Ebisu.
This elite ninja, who was instantly defeated by Naruto Uzumaki's "Sexy Jutsu" in the original story, lasted less than ten minutes against Kurenai Yūhi before falling.
"Mirai, I won!"
Kurenai Yūhi happily ran to Mirai Uchiha.
She didn't expect the battle to be so easy.
"You, who always took me as your rival, have long left most of them behind," said Mirai Uchiha indifferently.
"Mirai..."
"Hmm?"
"You're really good at playing mysterious."
Kurenai Yūhi looked at Mirai Uchiha, blushing with eyes full of admiration.
Ignoring the disdainful looks of those around him, Mirai Uchiha patted Kurenai Yūhi's head. "What nonsense you're saying, I'm not playing mysterious, I love telling the truth."
The battles continued.
Overall, they were all quite predictable.
Just when Mirai Uchiha was starting to get bored, he heard his name.
"Next group: Mirai Uchiha vs. Asuma Sarutobi!"
