Naruto: Long Live Hokage's
Chapter 183: Canon!
Time passed, two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the 39th Konoha Academy Entrance Examination began.
Masahiko did not participate personally and stood beside Sakumo as an observer.
The test is divided into three sessions. The easiest is “Ninjutsu.” It's all about how efficient you are at refining Chakras. Of course, if you want to get high grades, you need to be proficient at using the Three Basic Techniques, which is very difficult for children.
“Taijutsu” is a pure physical skill assessment. Male and female candidates have different standards, and for boys, they are stricter.
“Genjutsu” is an illusion assessment. Of course, no child will be asked to use Genjutsu, this test is about their ability to fight Genjutsu.
“Sakumo, what are the qualifications for assessment?” Masahiko generally understood the concept of assessment but did not know the specific criteria for assessment.
“The highest ten, the average is five,” replied Sakumo.
Masahiko nodded, “And what if the candidate is very prominent in one aspect?” Masahiko thought of Gai.
“If you score ten points in one test, you can ignore the others.”
Masahiko heaved a sigh of relief and felt that Gai should be fine.
“But it is difficult to get the full score.” Sakumo added, “Kakashi will probably only get 10 points in Ninjutsu, and maybe 9 or even 8 in the other two.”
Masahiko frowned. Since childhood, Kakashi, who has been trained by Sakumo, should have better physical abilities than Gai, but he does not expect him to get full marks…
“Is this tight?”
Sakumo nodded, “Hokage-Sama had no hope. There are too many candidates. This time more than 150 children signed up, and he hopes only 60 people will pass.”
Masahiko nodded in understanding. He knew in his heart that those children would always get a second chance. The oldest entrance age for the Academy was nine years, and now many children were over five years old.
Of course, all five-year-olds were clearly very confident.
“Sakumo, where's your baby?” The students had entered the arena one after another, but Masahiko did not see Kakashi.
“Kakashi will be the last person to take the exam.” Sakumo's face looked stiff.
“Like father like son, so he likes to show up too?” Masahiko laughed and teased.
“Good.” Sakumo grows up dealing with Masahiko, and it seems Masahiko's taunts don't work on her anymore.
Masahiko looked at the children who were on the front line. As expected, there was no familiar face. It seemed that the stronger children were at the back rank.
The three testers are, Nara Patriarch for test “Ninjutsu”, Hyuga Patriarch for “Taijutsu,” and Uchiha Kagami for “Genjutsu.”
Masahiko thought for a moment. If something like Genjutsu is abused, it can have a huge impact on the future of these children. Right now, Konoha's strongest Genjutsu user should be Uchiha Kagami.
“Of course, it's tight. These three testers look scary. ” Masahiko murmuring.
However, the “Genjutsu” that he thinks is the hardest is easily passed by children. None of them seemed to have been trapped inside Genjutsu for a long time. However, no one managed to get a high score.
“Why does Kagami seem to let them pass?”
Sakumo hesitated for a moment and came quietly, “I heard that Elder's son-in-law seems to be being . He should be in a good mood.”
Masahiko gave her a smile, “When did you become a gossipy person?”
“Wait, grandson Kagami?” Masahiko. Isn't that supposed to be Uchiha Shisui?
“What's up, Elder Masahiko?”
“Ah, t-nothing..”
Masahiko pondered for a moment, then he regained his senses after a while to watch the test. After all, the children at the top rank were not good. Although they did not do it too badly, Masahiko predicted that they would not graduate.
“So, who will be Canon's first child?”
Masahiko was very excited.
After half a minute.
“Huh, it turns out Gai..” Masahiko cannot laugh or cry, “I should have thought about what to expect.”
“Is he Dai's son?” Sakumo asked.
Different from the original, Sakumo knows Maito Dai who is adept at Taijutsu.
Masahiko nodded with a smile.
Sakumo hesitated, knowing how difficult the assessment was, “He will not be able to pass this path.”
Masahiko waved his hand, “It's okay, he will do it!”
Masahiko could not remember anything about Gai failing to enter the Academy in the original version. And he also knew that he and Kakashi would join in the same year, so he felt it was impossible for him not to graduate.
Sakumo hesitated for a moment but said nothing.
Ten minutes later, Masahiko's mouth twitched. Even though he doesn't know his grades, Gai will never pass this exam unless his examiner falls asleep.
“He will be fine.” Masahiko doesn't like to be proven wrong.
After him, another familiar face entered the scene, Masahiko temporarily put his attention aside on Gai's score.
“This guy.. I think it should be Ibiki Morino, but he doesn't have that scar yet.”
“This... Ebisu? Sensei Konohamaru is he also in this group..?”.
“Gekko Hayate, and Yugao Uzuki, the couple also joined this year.”
“The one holding the straw stick should be Genma Shiranui, the one who likes to complain.”
“Rin Nohara..”
“Omong-by the way about Rin, it's Obito there, it's the first time I've seen him.”
“Kurenai Yuhi, so she only managed to pass Genjutu test? Still, he was the first to get a perfect score.”
“35 million Ryo living, Asuma..”.
As the candidates took the test, Masahiko kept remembering familiar characters one after another. Other than them, there were also some children who were familiar but could not name him. But there are at least thirteen or fourteen characters of “Canon” that Masahiko remembers from the original.
As for Hatake Kakashi, he entered the field with a small sword, and the Ninja Academy entrance examination that lasted for a full day ended.
Kakashi's three basic Ninjutsu are perfect, the best so far, and he got the full marks, but he didn't pass the “Ninjutsu” test first. Instead, he took the other two tests, but he failed to pass the full grade, making him look a little disappointed.
Masahiko hesitated for a moment, turned to Sakumo, and asked the question that had bothered him for a century, “Why is Kakashi wearing a mask?”
“Because he is so handsome.”
Sakumo turned around and left. Masahiko, stunned for a while, finally remembered Teuchi and his daughter's reaction when he saw Kakashi's real face…
