"The graduation examination is about to begin. Graduates please prepare in advance. The topic of this graduation examination is the art of clones."
In the examination room, the ninja teacher in charge of the examination announced the topic of this year's graduation examination.
"Damn it! Why isn't it my best transformation technique?"
"It's over. The clone technique is what I'm worst at."
As soon as the examiner finished his announcement, there was a wailing from the audience.
Although all three ninjutsu must be practiced together, they are three ninjutsu after all, and there will always be some that you are not good at and some that you are good at. Of course, everyone hopes to pass the basic ninjutsu that they are best at.
"Quiet! It's your fault for not practicing well. Those whose names are called in five minutes will go to the next classroom." The assessing teacher saw that many students began to complain and shouted at them.
Kabuto, who was sitting at the bottom, was quite calm. As a basic ninjutsu, he was already very familiar with the Three Body Technique. He could even skillfully use the Shadow Clone, which was more advanced than the Transformation Technique.
In fact, he was quite confused. Although the teachers in the ninja school were not as good as Nagase, it was not possible that he could not fully master the three basic ninjutsu in six years.
Logically speaking, if you are given a method to practice, you should be able to achieve success by practicing on your own in six years.
Dou did not look down on those candidates. He felt that he was just an ordinary person like them, nothing special about him, so he was really confused.
Time passed little by little, and soon the examiner called out Dou's name.
"Yakushi Kabuto."
Kabuto quickly stood up and headed towards another classroom dedicated to assessments.
After opening the door of the classroom, Dou bowed to the two teachers in charge of grading who were sitting there. The teachers nodded, and the assessment officially began.
"Clone Technique!"
Dou looked directly at the two examiners calmly, quickly formed seals with his hands, and completed the clone technique in an instant.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Eight puffs of smoke flashed by, and in an instant eight more pockets appeared in the room, making the empty classroom look a little more lively.
The two teachers observed for a while, then clapped their hands and praised: "As expected of a genius who can always maintain the first place, whether it is the speed of forming seals or the number and quality of clones, they are all excellent."
Of course, you don't pass the graduation exam just by using the technique of clone-art.
Instead, it should be considered from many aspects, mainly three points. One is the speed of sealing. If the seal is too slow, what use will it be in actual combat? The opponent will rush up before you finish sealing.
The second is the number of clones. What’s the use of one clone? There must be at least three or more to confuse the enemy.
The third is the quality of the clones. If they are all ugly and can't even stand up, then even if you have ten of them it would still be a low score because your clones are completely meaningless.
"Full marks!" The two examiners looked at each other and said together.
One of the examiners picked up the forehead protector on the table, stood up, handed it to Kabuto and said, "Congratulations, you are now an official Genin."
"Thank you, teacher." Dou took the forehead protector, thanked the examiner, and walked out of the room.
In the corridor, Kabuto picked up the forehead protector and looked at it, his mind a little dazed. He had become a ninja, the ninja he had always wanted to be.
He still remembered the oath he had made in his heart that he must become a ninja, go on missions, work hard to make money, and let the dean not be sad alone in the dark.
But now, he has indeed become a ninja, but the dean no longer has to be sad alone in the dark.
Although Dou is still young, he is not ignorant. Nagase and the dean are his closest people.
Yongze is together with the dean. Yongze is not short of money, so the dean is not short of money either.
"Forget it. There's no harm in making more money anyway. Let's set a small goal and make one million taels." Dou thought about it and felt that the dean's wealth would not prevent him from making more.
When Dou thought about it this way, he felt comfortable.
Not long after Dou walked out of the teaching building, he spotted a familiar figure. Hua Yang was holding an exquisite gift box and looking around, as if looking for someone.
Huayang was wearing a white coat today that was as pure as her eyes. Through the top that was not pulled up, one could see the black shirt underneath.
Huayang held the gift box in both hands and looked around but couldn't see Dou. She felt a little annoyed. Was she too late
Because other grades' classrooms were needed for today's graduate assessment, all grades were simply given a day off. Huayang had just come out from making dumplings at home.
It wasn't that she didn't want to come early, but she simply didn't have the time. Since her mother had never made dumplings, she could only go to the bookstore to buy a book and learn from it.
I stayed up all night last night figuring out how to make delicious dumplings.
Fortunately, the soft boxing that she practiced day and night took effect. I don’t know how it tasted, but her face looked very good, very round and white.
Just as Hanayo was considering whether or not to use her Byakugan, she heard Kabuto's voice.
"Hanayo, this way." Kabuto waved to Hanayo.
Hanayo looked towards the source of the sound and immediately saw the familiar figure of Kabuto.
Hua Yang held the gift box and trotted to the side of Dou. Seeing the forehead protector in Dou's hand, Hua Yang smiled and handed the gift box to Dou and said:
"Dou, congratulations on passing the graduation assessment."
Kabuto took the gift box in one hand and said to Hanayo, "Hanayo, thank you for the gift."
"Why don't you wear a forehead protector? Don't you want to try what it feels like to wear a ninja forehead protector?" Huayang said.
Dou thought about it, looked at the gift box in his left hand and the forehead protector in his right hand, and showed a helpless expression.
I could have worn it, but I had just received a gift from someone, so I couldn’t just put it on the ground.
Kabuto began to think about a question, can ninjutsu be sealed with one hand? If he can seal with one hand, then he can use the shadow clone to help him wear it.
Dou thought about it and found that this was feasible. The essence of seals was to concentrate the mind and guide the chakra. Theoretically, as long as you were good enough, let alone seals with one hand, reducing the number of seals, or even not forming any seals would be no problem.
"Dou, what are you thinking about? Why are you suddenly in a daze? Let me help you put it on." Huayang saw that Dou suddenly became silent and dazed, so she waved her hand in front of Dou's eyes.
"Yeah." Dou nodded and handed the forehead protector to Hanayo.
Huayang took the forehead protector, observed it carefully for a while, and tied it on Dou's head.
"Well, with the ninja forehead protector, Kabuto looks like an adult." Hanayo said with a smile.
"Well, Hanayo, you will soon be able to become a ninja too," Kabuto nodded and replied.
His mind was no longer here, he planned to go back and find Itachi to discuss with him the possibility of forming hand seals with one hand.
