Night Yu couldn’t find any clues, and he began to question his own identity.
He thought he had transmigrated into the body of an ordinary, weak ninja, but this ninja seemed to have an extraordinary bloodline!?
The classmates were discussing excitedly,
When Iruka-sensei walked in with a stack of test papers, he called out: "Alright, class, stop chatting. We’re having a quiz today."
"Another quiz?"
The students immediately deflated like punctured balloons.
Ignoring their complaints, Iruka-sensei said: "You're about to take the final exam for the Ninja Academy. I hope you all pass. This quiz is necessary for practice!"
The test was a done deal. Naruto walked up to Night Yu.
In the past, although Night Yu's ninjutsu skills were poor, his academic performance was top-notch. He had helped Naruto cheat through many tests in the past.
"Night Yu, I need your help again."
Naruto pleaded.
"No, you do it yourself. I can help you now, but what will you do during the final exam?"
Night Yu firmly refused.
The original Night Yu had helped Naruto before,
but the current Night Yu couldn't do that.
As a ninja, he must master ninjutsu knowledge. Even if he could cheat through the exam, what would he do when he went to the battlefield?
Night Yu didn't want Naruto to die on the battlefield because of his poor foundation in Ninja Academy knowledge.
"Night Yu, my best buddy, only you can help me now."
Naruto pleaded.
Making him study was harder than making him train in ninjutsu!
"Just this once. After today, I promise to study hard."
Naruto began to pester him.
But Night Yu remained like a rock, refusing to budge.
Finally, even Iruka-sensei couldn't stand it anymore, and he reprimanded: "Naruto, why do you keep pestering Night Yu? Are you trying to cheat?"
Naruto straightened his back in fright, putting on an air of righteousness.
"No… no, why would I cheat!"
Night Yu covered his face with his hand, unable to watch.
The exam took place as scheduled.
The students sat at makeshift desks made of large tree trunks, heads buried in their papers.
Less than twenty minutes after the test papers were handed out, Night Yu stood up and turned in his paper.
"Finished?"
Iruka-sensei asked in surprise.
In the past, Night Yu had always been good at academics and often finished his exams early.
But this was the first time he had turned in his paper within half an hour of the exam starting!
"Yes, teacher. Please check it."
Night Yu said, his voice unusually confident.
Iruka-sensei looked up and glanced at Night Yu’s paper.
The more he looked, the more surprised he became!
Night Yu’s answers to the basic ninjutsu knowledge questions were all correct, and his answer to the final free-response question was simply brilliant!
Not only was it well-organized and concise,
but it also presented his unique insights and perspectives!
He even quoted relevant texts and used witty turns of phrase in his elaborate argument, displaying a level of literary talent far exceeding that of ordinary students!
Iruka-sensei had taught many students in his time.
But Night Yu was the first student to answer a test question so perfectly in such a short amount of time!
An absolute perfect score!
Night Yu noticed the look of delight on Iruka-sensei’s face and felt a surge of pride.
As a product of Earth's test-driven education, Night Yu had his own methods for dealing with exams.
Furthermore, the original Night Yu had a good foundation. It was not difficult for him to finish the test with high marks in a short period of time.
"Good job, Night Yu."
Iruka-sensei praised him.
After saying that, he remembered the Third Hokage’s warning to not let Night Yu get too proud, so he quickly added:
"But there’s someone in the next class who turned in his paper in less than a quarter hour, and he got everything right…”
"Don’t get complacent, Night Yu. You need to keep working hard."
"Don’t worry, Iruka-sensei. Although I've been focusing on training my ninjutsu, I haven’t neglected my academics."
Night Yu assured him with confidence.
He actually finished the test in ten minutes and just delayed turning it in to avoid attracting attention.
Iruka-sensei’s eyes were filled with satisfaction.
This young man was handsome, talented, and hardworking!
He had been noticed by the Third Hokage at such a young age!
He had a bright future ahead of him!
"Alright, you’re free this afternoon. Since you’re done, go home."
Iruka-sensei waved his hand.
Night Yu thanked him and skipped out of the classroom.
Naruto, who was still taking the exam, was in trouble.
Without his academic genius neighbor, those questions seemed like mountains to him.
Iruka-sensei couldn’t help but criticize: "Naruto, I really want to give you zero points!"
Naruto shrank his neck in fear, but he still couldn't do the questions. He could only fidget in his seat, looking around anxiously.
Meanwhile, Night Yu didn't rush home. The cleanup work for the Tree Boundary Birth was still ongoing.
To ease his anxiety, he split his consciousness and continued to dedicate himself to disaster relief...
He kept his main body at home to continue training in ninjutsu.
As dusk approached, Naruto pushed the door open, his face dark.
"Night Yu, Iruka-sensei gave me zero points because I turned in a blank paper."
Naruto finished speaking, but he didn't hear Night Yu's reply.
He curiously walked into the courtyard, only to find Night Yu sitting cross-legged, practicing a strange ninjutsu…
"What are you doing?"
Naruto asked in confusion.
Night Yu snapped out of his contemplation at the sound of Naruto's voice.
He handed Naruto a kunai and explained: "When I was helping the village with the reconstruction, I was thinking about whether there was a ninjutsu that could allow for rapid movement, so I could quickly transport all this scrap wood outside the village..."
"So, what did you come up with?"
Naruto took the kunai from Night Yu and noticed a tree-shaped mark on it.
He was about to ask what the mark did when Night Yu spoke.
"While thinking about it, I came up with a ninjutsu. As long as I leave my chakra mark somewhere, I can teleport there at any time."
"The kunai in your hand, I just marked it with chakra."
Naruto gulped when he heard this.
Although he was confused, it sounded incredibly powerful!
Night Yu said excitedly:
"This ninjutsu is brand new, so I haven't tested it yet. You hold the kunai, and I'll see if I can teleport to you..."
Naruto nodded excitedly.
According to Night Yu, if this ninjutsu worked.
They could instantly teleport to school, eliminating the problem of being late!
After Naruto nodded, Night Yu made a hand seal.
Then!
"Whoosh!"
Night Yu disappeared from his spot!
As Naruto stared in amazement,
He found that the kunai in his hand suddenly felt heavier!
He turned his head and saw that Night Yu had teleported to his wrist!
Then, with a "bang", Night Yu fell to the ground.
It must have hurt!
But Night Yu looked excited.
"It’s mostly successful. But I need to practice the exact location of the teleportation, otherwise, something like this might happen again."
"So, we’ll never have to rush to school again?!"
Naruto asked excitedly.
Sleeping in was his dream!
Now that Night Yu's ninjutsu experiment had been successful, it would finally be possible!
