Chapter 67: True Ninjutsu Talent
The actual combat test was held at the training ground.
After all students had completed the lottery, Makoto announced that the practical exam had officially begun.
"Please invite candidate No. 1, Kotetsu, and candidate No. 2, Koji, to enter the examination room."
Kotetsu knew that as No. 1, he would definitely be the first to take the exam, so he had already warmed up in advance.
"Let me take the lead; remember to cheer for me," Kotetsu said goodbye to his two good brothers and walked into the examination space.
"Kotetsu, don't lose in the first game," Kamizuki Izumo encouraged Kotetsu in a very considerate manner.
Koji and Kotetsu walked into the venue together. The two did not communicate much. They formed a seal of opposition and waited until Makoto shouted and started fighting immediately.
At the beginning of the battle, both of them were testing each other using physical skills.
In the first wave of testing attacks, Kotetsu temporarily suppressed Koji with greater strength.
Then Koji began to employ tactics. First, he used the substitution technique to confuse Kotetsu and create distance between them. Then, he separated into two avatars to confuse Kotetsu's vision and look for an opportunity to attack.
Koji is quite proficient in practicing the Three Body Technique, but Kotetsu is more skilled than him.
Kotetsu first created a chair clone, and then two normal clones.
He used his normal clones to confuse and distract Koji, then seized the opportunity to cancel the chair clone and finally turned into a chair using his transformation technique.
Naturally, Koji would not be wary of a strange moving chair and was directly defeated by Kotetsu with one blow.
"Hey, isn't this Kotetsu, one of the three great ninjutsu talents rumored in the school before? I didn't expect that this technique of confusing enemies could have such a wonderful effect," Aya Ueda praised Kotetsu's fighting wisdom.
"And he is already very proficient in the Clone Technique and Transformation Technique. He is better than the students in my class," Aya Ueda exclaimed.
She was teaching the second-grade Ninjutsu class, and even the person with the best Ninjutsu scores in her class was not as strong as the one in front of her.
Purely in terms of the level of clone technique, Aya Ueda believes that Kotetsu has reached a level sufficient for graduation.
It's really a very standard clone technique.
"Could it be scarier than my illusion?" Kamizuki Izumo also felt that his own technique was the best.
Anko did not respond to the two of them. Actual combat was the best demonstration.
Shima Keiji's physical skills were not as good as Anko's, and he was suppressed by Anko from the beginning.
Anko was unyielding and quickly formed seals to create seven or eight clones that looked like Shima Keiji, and then used the transformation technique to transform into Shima Keiji's appearance.
In an instant, the examination room was full of Shima Keiji running around, and Anko disappeared.
"Teacher Makoto, your student is indeed a talent," Ueda Aya said, dumbfounded. She had been a teacher for several years and had invigilated exams countless times. This was the first time she had seen this happen.
"Her thinking is different from ordinary people," Makoto thought for a while and said.
Shima Keiji looked at himself running around and felt very confused. He was careful about everyone, but in the end, he was unprepared and was defeated by Anko with one blow.
Anko's ninjutsu was of course given ten points.
Ueda Aya felt like she was not invigilating the first-grade exam but the third and fourth-grade exam.
The level of ninjutsu among these students was too high, beyond her imagination.
She also proctored the first-year exam last time. Although they were excellent at that time, it was not as exaggerated as it is now.
At that time, she said that the level of the first-year class was almost the same as that of the second-grade class she taught. Now she feels that her class is not worthy.
"Teacher Makoto, the level of ninjutsu in your class is really amazing. The teachers in the entire ninjutsu school should learn from you how to teach ninjutsu," Aya Ueda praised.
One or two students may be outstanding because of their own talent. The outstanding performance of the whole class in ninjutsu must be due to the teacher's good teaching. How can there be so many geniuses?
"It's all the students' own efforts. I just try my best to teach," Makoto said modestly.
Mastery level three ninjutsu plus teaching skills, let alone school teachers, there is no one in Konoha who can teach these three ninjutsu better than him.
"Contestant No. 38, Uchiha Shisui, prepare for the exam..."
Hearing Shisui's name, Ueda Aya also cheered up. This is the student she looks forward to most. Last time, he performed as well as Kakashi of the same age.
