Chapter 5 End-of-year exam, the strongest brain
Time flies, and it is March of the 55th year of Konoha in the blink of an eye.
Unconsciously, the first-year studies are about to end.
In April, the first-year students will be promoted to the second-year students.
However, before the holiday, the first-year students will have to take a big exam.
It is also this big exam that will select the best and the top student representing the whole grade.
March 18.
At six o’clock in the morning, Liu Sheng woke up from his sleep and then exercised in his yard.
After the morning training every day, Liu Sheng took a bath and started to make breakfast.
After breakfast and drinking a full glass of milk, Liu Sheng made seals with his hands and separated two shadow clones, letting them start working as usual.
And Liu Sheng’s real body went to the Ninja School.
During the day, there are cultural exams, and you just need to answer questions.
The afternoon is the important assessment.
It is said to be important, but in fact, it is just a survival exercise compared to the small test.
It is a bit exaggerated to describe it as a survival exercise, in fact, it is just a game of hide-and-seek.
The graduation exam for the sixth grade only takes one of the three body techniques for assessment.
First graders mainly focus on cultural courses. Children who are not from ninja families do not even have the practice scrolls of the three body techniques.
The practical classes in the afternoon are either shuriken throwing or physical skills competitions, and there is no kunai hand-to-hand combat yet.
These courses are all for them to accumulate spiritual and physical energy and lay a good foundation.
In this year, the school only taught them one technique, that is… invisibility.
Invisibility and instant body techniques seem very advanced, but in fact, they are more basic than the three body techniques.
In the original novel, when Naruto first appeared, he used the Konoha Instant Body Technique and Invisibility Technique to play tricks on the ninjas who were trying to capture him.
The reason why these two techniques give people a sense of sophistication is that many guys have used them in various ways.
Yagyu felt that the survival exercise in the afternoon, if nothing unexpected happened, should be a test of their attainments in the Invisibility Technique.

”Yo…Yagyu, good morning!”
”Yagyu-kun, good morning.”
”Yagyu-kun, do you want to play with us after the exam?”
”Yagyu, can you throw me a note during the exam? Please, if I fail, my mother will definitely beat me to death!”
”…”
When he came to the classroom, many male and female classmates greeted Yagyu.
Yagyu also responded to them with a smile, and sometimes even stopped to communicate with them for a few words, full of patience.
Unlike the aloof Sasuke and Naruto who no one wants to play with, Yagyu sets himself up as a central air conditioner, and is very gentle no matter who he faces.
After all, only he knows how many talents have come out of this classroom.
There are two saviors and Hokages, and the others are either the patriarchs of the ninja clan or the leaders of a department in Konoha.
Who knows whether other little strong men, such as Karami, who are not mentioned in the plot, will become powerful figures in the future?
So before the awakening of the golden finger, Yagyu took advantage of the fact that he was still a genius to leave a good impression on his classmates.
Even though he has now merged with Ashura’s chakra and is undoubtedly the No. 1 in the class, Yagyu has not destroyed this personality.
One more friend means one less enemy. The main point is human relations! After chatting with his classmates, Yagyu finally came to his seat.
As soon as he sat down, a small hand patted Yagyu’s shoulder from behind.
Ino, who was sitting behind Yagyu, smiled and said, “Yagyu, work hard in the exam and make sure to win the title of the top student.”
”I’ll try my best.” Yagyu nodded with a smile.
”Yagyu, is there any blood limit in your family, and then you quietly awakened?”
At this time, a voice sounded from next to Yagyu.
Nara Shikamaru, who was lying on the table with a pair of dead fish eyes, as if he hadn’t woken up yet, said faintly: “Since you defeated Naruto a few months ago, you seem to have become a different person.”
”You are so smart, why not guess it.” Yagyu teased.
”Ha…”
Nara Shikamaru yawned, sat up straight, stretched and said, “Anyway, it must be found in you.”
Ino said unhappily: “Who doesn’t have a little secret? Why are you so gossipy?”
”Yes, yes… I’m too nosy.”
Looking at Ino who raised her fist and looked like she would beat you if you said more, Nara Shikamaru nodded helplessly.
But at the same time, his curiosity was still growing day by day.
If it were someone else, Nara Shikamaru would not be bothered to be curious.
Even if Naruto’s identity was special, he didn’t care too much.
Only… Yagyu was an exception.
After a year of observation, Nara Shikamaru found that Yagyu, his deskmate, was two different people in the first half of the year and the second half of the year.
In Nara Shikamaru’s eyes, Yagyu in the first half of the year was really too fake.
The smile that easily gained the favor of others, in Nara Shikamaru, who has the strongest brain and the most piercing eyes, thinks that acting is natural.
Yagyu, like himself, is a precocious genius, but he is too purposeful.
So Nara Shikamaru doesn’t really like Yagyu, the classmate who deliberately sits next to him.
But in the second half of the year, Nara Shikamaru’s impression of Yagyu has changed dramatically.
Because in the second half of the year, Yagyu has become real.
That purposeful smile, even if it is flawless, can hardly hide the gloom between the eyebrows, and all of it has disappeared.
Young people Nara Shikamaru couldn’t understand why a person changed so much, so when he was 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 always ranked last in every quiz, even every random quiz? 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 purposeful, no longer needing to act to build good relationships with others, and confident that he can be above everyone else.
Today’s exam may reveal some clues.
Thinking of this, Nara Shikamaru suddenly became a little interested in this exam.
Yagyu didn’t know what Nara Shikamaru was thinking.
If he knew, he would definitely sigh that he was worthy of being the future military strategist and the ‘eighth generation Hokage’.
He could see so much at the age of six or seven, which was not inferior to Uchiha Itachi, who had the thinking of a Hokage at the age of seven.
