Uchiha Sasuke: The Rise of a Hidden Genius

The graduation exam at the Ninja Academy.

The difficulty of the exam in peacetime!

It's not just about having hands.

Sasuke arrived at the school and received his candidate number.

Then he quietly waited for the exam to begin.

It's said to be a graduation exam, but in fact it's just a simple assessment of a three-body technique, followed by a basic physical strength, speed, and so on.

If you meet the standards, you will graduate successfully.

This kind of exam is not difficult at all.

However, today, our son of destiny, Naruto Uzumaki, successfully failed the assessment.

He became the only guy who didn't graduate.

Sitting in the classroom waiting for the exam.

Sasuke saw Naruto sitting in front of him, and this guy was very excited.

He looked like he was pumped up.

And it seemed that Naruto had sensed Sasuke's gaze, as he turned around and glanced in Sasuke's direction.

Sasuke quickly withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

Although it was not yet the time for the first kiss in the classifying plot, Sasuke did not want to stage this scene with this idiot Naruto in advance.

Looking at Sasuke sitting motionless in his seat, with his eyes closed, 'acting cool'.

Naruto frowned extremely unhappily.

The reason for his unhappiness was also very simple. Sakura, who was sitting next to him, was looking at Sasuke with an extremely infatuated look.

And it wasn't just Sakura, but also Ino and the other girls were infatuated.

And they were whispering.

"It feels like Sasuke-kun is different today!"

"Yes! He looks even more handsome than before!"

"And it seems like his expression isn't as cold as before!"

"Really? But I feel like Sasuke-kun is still keeping people at a distance!"

Hearing these girls' comments, Sasuke was a little surprised.

There shouldn't have been any changes to my appearance!

But these women can sense it so keenly, it's just like their sixth sense!

Forget it, I'd better not attract any attention!

The current Sasuke is worlds apart from the previous Sasuke.

Although there has been no change in appearance, and the clothes and appearance have remained the same as before.

But in the final analysis, once there is a change in a person's mental state, a lot can be revealed in the eyes.

Fortunately, today is the graduation exam, so even though Sasuke is hard to ignore, the focus is on the graduation exam.

As the exam progresses, fewer and fewer ninjas are sitting in the classroom waiting.

Soon it was Sasuke's turn.

A simple test.

The kunai throwing was passed with ease, and even the speed and movement of Sasuke throwing the kunai made the teacher in charge of recording the assessment results pause for a moment.

"It's only been a few days, but it seems the Uchiha kid has gotten stronger again!"

"The throwing motion was clean and the speed of the kunai was faster than before!"

"Pass!"

But in the end, it's just kunai throwing, so there's nothing to worry about.

The next event tests physical strength and speed.

For a ninja, if your physical strength is as bad as an ordinary person's, then forget about becoming a ninja.

But as ninjas with chakra, they are usually not too bad.

The speed test was passed with flying colors.

The physical strength test was also uneventful.

In terms of testing the three body techniques, Sasuke's clone technique was also clean and decisive.

After leaving the school, Sasuke had already received his own ninja forehead protector.

"This ninja exam is too easy!"

Saying this, Sasuke casually put the forehead protector in his pocket and was about to leave.

At this time, Sasuke saw Naruto sitting on the swing of the big tree at the entrance to the school, looking despondent.

This guy is the only one who didn't graduate.

To be fair, Naruto's clone technique is pretty crappy, but...the problem is, this guy isn't without chakra.

Even someone like Lee, who can't even use jutsu, was able to graduate successfully.

With Naruto's identity and background, and not being a complete waste, he should be able to graduate.

"Maybe this is another arranged drama!"

Sasuke thought to himself, but he didn't plan to stop it.

His identity as a Uchiha was already very sensitive in Konoha.

It was better not to provoke trouble at a time like this.

He left the school directly and walked towards home.

Naruto looked at Sasuke's departing back, and he noticed that Sasuke had just looked at him for a long time.

Perhaps others only noticed Sasuke's indifference, and he didn't even smile after passing the graduation exam. He was simply aloof.

But only Naruto noticed that everyone else had companions to celebrate with, and some even had family cheering with them.

But Sasuke didn't. Even after graduation, no one said a word of congratulations to Sasuke.

At this time, Sasuke stopped halfway.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully obtaining the identity of a shinobi]

[Becoming a shinobi is the first step towards becoming a god]

[A prize of encouragement is awarded. Please choose which prize to obtain.]

[1: Ninjutsu]

[2: Taijutsu]

[3: Chakra]

What the specific prizes are is unknown for the time being.

This only tells Sasuke that there are three different development directions.

Whether to develop towards ninjutsu or taijutsu, or whether to focus on enhancing chakra.

Ninjutsu includes ninpo and genjutsu, and is a powerful means for ninjas to eliminate enemies.

On the other hand, physical skills are the most basic combat skills of a ninja.

Chakra, on the other hand, gives ninjas different aptitudes or enhances their potential.

"Ninjutsu or body techniques, or chakra!"

These three options made Sasuke a little melancholy.

Among Sasuke's various combat abilities, physical skills and chakra should be his weaknesses.

Under normal circumstances, he should choose the rewards for physical skills or chakra to make up for some of his weaknesses.

But now Sasuke is only a low-level ninja, and is evaluated by the system as a weak low-level ninja.

In this case, perhaps he should focus on his strongest point and improve it as much as possible to get his combat power up first.

As for the other abilities, they will naturally have to be improved slowly, but it seems like a good idea to start with one point and then break through to the other side.

"I choose ninjutsu!"

[Confirm choice reward: ninjutsu]

[Yes/No]

"Yes!"

Since the decision has been made, there is no need to worry too much.

Your perfect talent is the most terrifying for the improvement of ninjutsu. Choosing a reward in ninjutsu will naturally maximize the improvement.

It can greatly increase your upper limit.

[Congratulations, host, for being granted the opportunity to use the ninjutsu laboratory once]

[Ninjutsu laboratory: assists the host in developing ninjutsu. Based on the host's own strength and talent, the success rate of developing different ninjutsu varies. Please experience it for yourself.]
