Chapter 55 - Little Sister-in-Law's Growth, First Exam

The atmosphere outdoors and indoors was completely different.

Although there were few people outside, Seventh Squad and Eighth Squad felt very warm, like a warm corridor in winter.

But inside, despite the large number of people and the noise,

Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno felt a bone-chilling cold as they stepped into the examination room.

Remember the first website domain 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

As if noticing them, the examination room suddenly became much quieter, and countless gazes were cast over like needle tips, causing Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, who had not encountered Zabuza Momochi and Haku in the Land of Waves arc, and whose Demon Brothers had been defeated by Sasuke Uchiha, to tense up, their eyes involuntarily revealing a hint of fear.

"Loser, are you trembling?"

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's voice came to their ears.

Looking at Sasuke Uchiha's mocking face, Naruto Uzumaki didn't know why, but the fear in his heart instantly dissipated, and he shouted loudly, "I'm not afraid of them! I'm just trembling with excitement."

Izayoi ignored Seventh Squad and said to Hinata and Shino Aburame, "Let's go find our seats first."

"Okay."

Hinata and Shino Aburame nodded, then looked for their seat numbers and walked away.

Izayoi and Hinata's seat numbers were in the third row in the middle, and the two happened to be deskmates.

That's right, Izayoi's seat was originally Naruto Uzumaki's position.

The seat number Naruto Uzumaki received was still next to Hinata, and then Izayoi exchanged seat numbers with him.

Naruto Uzumaki naturally wouldn't refuse this small request.

Interestingly, the seat number Izayoi received was the same as Sasuke Uchiha's.

Now that the two have exchanged seat numbers, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki have become deskmates. I wonder if Sasuke Uchiha will help Naruto Uzumaki cheat, and whether the scene of encouraging morale in the original work will still appear?

But the butterfly effect has already appeared.

The Konoha 11 did not gather at the podium, Yakushi Kabuto did not appear to curry favor, nor was there a small farce directed and acted by Yakushi Kabuto and the Sound Ninja.

Taking advantage of the fact that the exam had not yet started, Izayoi and Hinata whispered to each other, just like they used to do at school.

Of course, considering that there were strangers around, the two were talking about normal topics.

"Hanabi has already started learning Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms? That's amazing!" Izayoi said in surprise.

"Yes." Hinata nodded, her face filled with a proud smile, "Father and the Clan Elders also said that Hanabi's Gentle Fist talent is higher than mine. When I was her age, I was still practicing Pressure Point Strike, and my Chakra wasn't as strong as hers."

To this, Izayoi smiled without saying a word.

Hanabi's talent was certainly high, but compared to Hinata, there was still a considerable gap.

If Izayoi had obtained the Uzumaki Bloodline (Purple) when Hinata was five years old, and awakened Physical Stamina Healing, allowing Hinata to absorb Chakra for two years, she would definitely be more amazing than Hanabi at the age of seven.

Vast Chakra is a hidden talent.

However, Hanabi's growth was still beyond Izayoi's expectations.

It seems that the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red) + Physical Stamina Healing has turned me into a great tonic.

Having started learning Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms at the age of seven, if Hanabi continues to absorb power until the Boruto era, to what extent would she defy fate?

Evolve the Tenseigan?

It feels unlikely.

Because Izayoi gradually realized a very crucial thing.

Hinata absorbing his Chakra has already broken through the upper limit of the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, and it shouldn't be long before it levels up.

This level of improvement, if placed on a Blue Perk, this Perk would have been upgraded to a Purple Perk long ago.

However, Hinata's Otsutsuki Bloodline is still just a Blue Perk.

This means that Izayoi's Chakra cannot upgrade Hinata's Otsutsuki Bloodline.

And the Tenseigan is mainly based on the Otsutsuki Bloodline (Red), even if the purity of the Byakugan is only at the Gold level, it can still evolve into a Tenseigan.

If Hinata and Hanabi simply improve their Byakugan, then the possibility of them awakening the Tenseigan in the future is very small.

But what changes would occur if their Kekkei Genkai Byakugan were to be upgraded to a Red Perk?

Like Kaguya Otsutsuki, can they release pressure and Genjutsu?

Or like the pure-blooded Otsutsuki Clan, can they awaken special abilities?

Izayoi doesn't know, but he is very much looking forward to the future of the two girls.

Just as Izayoi and Hinata were chatting idly, the examinees arrived one after another.

Boom boom boom—

After an unknown amount of time, several overlapping sounds of balloons bursting interrupted Izayoi and Hinata's whispering.

On the podium, several balls of white smoke appeared out of thin air.

When the smoke dissipated, Ibiki Morino, the proctor of the first exam, made a dazzling appearance with several invigilators.

"Quiet."

Ibiki Morino only let out a soft shout, and the entire examination room became so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping.

Several Genin, who had been putting on a fierce appearance earlier to scare the newly arrived examinees, held their breaths, not daring to breathe loudly.

There was no other way, Ibiki Morino's appearance and his eyes were just too frightening.

His face was full of knife scars, and his eyes were like those of a prison warden, as if the people in front of him were not examinees, but prisoners, who could be subjected to a round of torture at any time.

Ibiki Morino, with his astonishing aura, didn't need to make an example of anyone.

After briefly explaining the exam rules and announcing the tenth question at the end of the exam, he declared the first exam officially started.

"Sasuke, save... save me..."

Seeing that the first exam was the nightmare of his six years at the Ninja Academy, Naruto Uzumaki turned completely white, and he, who had never been convinced by Sasuke Uchiha, sent out a signal for help for the first time.

Hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth triumphantly.

However, when the test papers were handed out, his expression also froze.

Wh-… What the heck?

Is this kind of exam question something they taught in the Ninja Academy for six years?

Could it be that he, the top student in cultural studies, is actually a fake?

Almost subconsciously, Sasuke Uchiha raised his eyes to look at Izayoi and Hinata.

He saw that the two of them had already started writing.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha seemed to see a huge chasm slowly appearing between him and the two of them.

They were not on the same level at all.

But fortunately, his seat was in the back row.

So, the corners of Sasuke Uchiha's mouth curved up again, and his black eyes had already turned into scarlet Two-Tomoe Sharingan.

His eyes were fixed on Izayoi, not even glancing at the test paper, but the pen in his hand was writing words on the blank paper.

If you looked closely, you would find that the handwriting of these words was completely different from the name on the test paper.

Just as Sasuke Uchiha was copying Izayoi's actions, other examinees who couldn't answer the questions also began to show their special abilities.

Some used secret techniques, some used Kekkei Genkai, some used ninja tools, and some even resorted to ugly peeking... All kinds of cheating methods were seen by Ibiki Morino and several proctors.

None of them spoke.

Only when they saw unbearable cheating would the proctors write the number "-2" next to the person's seat number.

The full score for the test paper was only ten points. Being caught cheating would result in a deduction of two points, rather than immediate elimination.

Only when someone had ten points deducted would their entire team, including their teammates, be eliminated.

"Number 35 is eliminated, and this guy's two teammates can get lost too."

In less than five minutes, the first person was eliminated.

The first person to be eliminated naturally felt dissatisfied.

But after being lectured by the proctor and seeing the gap between them and the Chunin, the psychological pressure on those cheaters suddenly increased.

After all, they didn't know if their cheating would be discovered by the Chunin who were superior to them.

If they were eliminated, their teammates would also be eliminated, so how would they explain it to their teammates?

Only those with secret techniques and Kekkei Genkai were exceptions.

Soon, forty minutes of the exam time had passed.

The previously packed test room had already emptied a large number of seats, and it was unknown how many teams had been eliminated.

Izayoi and Hinata had also answered all the questions long ago and were chatting under the table using the secret hand gestures taught at the Ninja Academy, causing the proctors who noticed them to twitch their mouths slightly.

After another five minutes, Ibiki Morino looked at the time on his pocket watch and shouted, "Everyone put down your pens, and we will now announce the tenth question."
