Now that Kushina and Mikoto have learned tree climbing, don't you think it's embarrassing if you haven't?"
Uchiha In glanced at Tsunade, stepped onto the tree trunk, and walked steadily onto a branch.
"In, you deliberately fell just now, didn't you? How insidious! Master Tsunade, I almost fell for it just now."
Chapter 70: Four Years
"In, today is the graduation exam. Are you ready?"
"Of course, I'm ready. But for this kind of graduation exam, we don't really need to prepare much, we'll pass easily."
Uchiha In and Kushina walked leisurely on the path to the Ninja Academy.
Today was their last day as Ninja Academy students. As long as they completed today's simple graduation exam, tomorrow, they would become glorious Genin.
Yes, two Genin with strength no less than that of a Jonin.
Four years passed in a flash. It had been four years since the System upgrade.
Four years, uneventful, just like that.
Kushina had grown from a cute and delicious loli (young girl) into a beautiful and charming loli (young woman).
Her vermilion hair reached her waist, and a hairpin adorned the left side of her bun.
Her delicate small face still carried a hint of baby fat, giving her a youthful appearance.
Her chest had begun to develop, subtly rising, already taking shape, likely a B cup.
Don't ask how Uchiha In knew; in four years, Uchiha In hadn't wasted his time. There was no part of Kushina's body that Uchiha In didn't know.
Similarly, Uchiha In had grown from a young child into an outstanding young man.
The person was exceptionally handsome, with a face whose features were distinct and chiseled like a sculpture, exceptionally beautiful.
His outward appearance seemed unrestrained, but the subtle glint in his eyes made people dare not underestimate him.
He had a head of thick, black hair, and beneath a pair of sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender peach blossom eyes, full of passion, making one easily fall into them.
His high nose and lips of moderate thickness now held a dazzling smile.
What Uchiha In himself was most satisfied with was that his height had finally reached 1.65 meters, taller than Tsunade.
Before, his height was shorter than Tsunade's, and he was always suppressed by Tsunade, which was truly unpleasant.
However, Tsunade was currently on a mission with Uchiha Mikoto, and they hadn't met for a long time.
After suffering heavy losses in the First Ninja World War, the Five Great Nations signed a truce treaty, ushering in a temporary peace.
However, about 20 years after the war, the economic disparity between nations widened. Citing the need to increase fairness, militant factions in various countries rose, advocating for the expansion of territory through force.
The Second Ninja World War had already begun, just like in the original story, with the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind invading the Land of Rain.
The number of Ninja missions suddenly increased significantly, and Tsunade and Mikoto had also taken on many missions over the past four years.
Their most recent mission had kept Tsunade and Mikoto away for half a year, and they were expected to return soon.
And today was the Ninja Academy's graduation exam.
During wartime, the shortage of Ninja combat power became increasingly severe, and the content of the graduation exam also became simpler. One only needed to master the Three Body Technique to successfully graduate.
Most Genin would become cannon fodder in the war, except for a small number of outstanding Genin who would be carefully cultivated in Konoha.
Of course, there were also some Genin who managed to survive the war and then greatly increase their strength.
The Three Body Technique was a piece of cake for Uchiha In and Kushina, so there was no tension on their faces; instead, they were very relaxed and at ease.
"Next examinee, Uchiha In. Exam content, Three Body Technique."
Uchiha In walked to the examiner, quickly forming hand seals. This speed even surprised the examiner.
So fast. This speed is faster than mine, isn't it? The examiners were a group of Chunin, and seeing Uchiha In complete the hand seals in less than a second, they showed ashamed expressions.
Bang~
At Uchiha In's original position, ten Clones appeared. Then, the ten Clones transformed into ten different-looking examiners.
Finally, the examiners that Uchiha In had transformed into all disappeared, turning into a wooden stake, while Uchiha In himself walked out from behind the examiner.
Uchiha In's final move sent a chill down the spines of all the examiners present.
Because when Uchiha In used the Substitution Technique, they didn't even notice him forming the hand seals. They only realized Uchiha In was behind them when he emerged.
How terrifying was Uchiha In's Substitution Technique!
If Uchiha In were their enemy, they would probably have been directly killed by Uchiha In just now.
Although Uchiha In didn't care much about the Clone Technique and Transformation Technique, he placed great importance on the Substitution Technique. After all, it was a Ninjutsu that could save his life. Currently, Uchiha In could almost use the Substitution Technique within 0.1 seconds, with a substitution range of up to 200 meters. It could be said that he had pushed this basic Ninjutsu to its limit.
As expected of Tsunade's Disciple, he is truly amazing.
The news of Tsunade taking Uchiha In, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uchiha Mikoto as her Disciples had spread throughout Konoha long ago and was no longer big news.
Although there were some negative voices at first, they had all quieted down now.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to announce the results?" Uchiha In frowned.
Graduation exams were usually graded and announced on the spot.
Had something gone wrong?
"Oh, oh, oh, I'll announce the results right away."
The Chunin who was announcing the results coughed twice.
"Uchiha In, Clone Technique: full marks; Transformation Technique: full marks; Substitution Technique: full marks. Congratulations on becoming a Genin."
Thinking of Uchiha In's miraculous Substitution Technique, the Chunin grading the exam wrote a few words next to Substitution Technique: "Miraculous Substitution Technique, hand seals imperceptible, extremely far substitution range."
After receiving his Ninja forehead protector, Uchiha In walked out the door.
"In, why are you so slow? Today, to celebrate our successful graduation, I'm going to cook myself."
Kushina ran over and threw herself into Uchiha In's arms, her jade-like arms wrapping around In's neck.
"Alright, alright, let's go home." Uchiha In caught Kushina, pinched Kushina's delicate nose, and said.
