Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Intelligence gathering before the actual combat assessment
Ever since Chika read the illusion notebook that day, he has developed an interest in illusion.
The knocking sounds these days are also practicing sound-based illusions.
So far, the progress is good, and he can already initially interfere with the thinking of the ninja school students.
From now on, as long as he practice more and vary the rhythm of the tapping, he should be able to perfect this illusion.
"Okay, that's all for today's class."
At this time, the bell rang for the end of the get out of class. Teacher Ryoichi did not leave the classroom in a hurry. Instead, he used both hands to hold down the many students who wanted to stand up.
"Next, I have an announcement to make."
After attracting everyone's attention, he said, "This semester is almost over, and the content of the final exam has been decided. It is a practical assessment."
"Haha, this is my specialty. It looks like I'll definitely get first place this time!"
When he heard that it was a practical test, Obito could no longer sit still. Being a middle school boy, he had never known shame, so he stood up, slammed the table and made a bold statement.
"Huh, the first place is yours? Did you ask me? You're the last one?"
Sarutobi Asuma, who is also a middle school boy, has long been displeased with Uchiha Obito, and immediately mocked him when he saw this.
"Asuma, wait for me, I look forward to sparring with you!"
"Don't expect anything. I'll teach you a lesson right now!"
Asuma responded.
"Humph, I'm not afraid of you, let's go to the training ground!"
Obito was not willing to be outdone.
Bang! Bang!
"You two, if you continue to make trouble, I will disqualify you from the competition and place you at the bottom!"
Before the two boys walked out of the classroom, Ryoichi could no longer bear it and punched Uchiha Obito and Sarutobi Asuma on the head.
As for why the bump on Asuma's head is smaller than Obito's?
Of course, Asuma's father was the Third Hokage, his immediate superior. Did you really think Ryoichi didn't want to stay in Konoha?
Under the violent suppression of Ryoichi, the classroom fell silent again.
"This assessment not only affects your ranking in the ninja school, but the top three will also receive a certificate written by the Third Hokage himself!"
"Written by the Third Hokage himself?"
"Oh my god, I must try my best this time. The Third Hokage is my idol!"
"Yeah, if I could get this certificate, my parents would be so happy!"
Hearing that there was a certificate personally written by the Hokage completely ignited the students' enthusiasm.
"Humph, that old man's handwriting is not as good as mine. Only you guys care so much about this certificate."
Of course, there are those who are happy and those who are dissatisfied, like Asuma.
As the biological son of the Third Hokage, you gave him a certificate written by the Third Hokage himself. This is no different from wholesale. he can get as many as he wants.
"Okay, students, be quiet and wait for me to finish."
Faced with the enthusiastic students, Ryoichi had to raise his voice to suppress the noise. After the classroom became quiet again, he continued, "The practical test will begin in the morning two days later. I will divide you into groups now."
"Shimura Nori VS Yamanaka Shinji!"
"Uchiha Obito VS Hyuga Tengji!"
"Nohara Rin VS Inuzuka Taku!"
Following the grouping by Ryoichi, sparks flew between the rival ninja school students.
Obviously, in the Konohagakure where everyone idolizes the Hokage, a certificate written by the Third Hokage himself greatly satisfied their vanity.
This also indirectly shows that the brainwashing of the Ninja School is successful. There is no need for material rewards, just a certificate is enough.
It really saves time and effort.
"Uchiha Chika VS Kurenai Yuhi!"
Isn't this a coincidence?
Chika was stunned. He was interested in illusions these days, but he didn't expect that his opponent would be Kurenai Yuhi, who would specialize in illusions in the future.
He looked to the front left and happened to meet her red eyes.
The two nodded slightly and greeted each other.
"Well, you should all know your opponent's now."
As the grouping ended, Ryoichi said with an inexplicable smile: "You should have a good rest in the next two days, adjust your state, and strive to get good results in the practical training assessment."
"Great! I can actually have two days off in advance!"
"Teacher Ryoichi, you are so thoughtful!"
Looking at the ninja school students who were getting excited again, Chika shook his head. These two days were not for them to rest, but for them to collect intelligence.
They were divided into groups in advance and given two days of rest so that they could collect information about what kind of ninjutsu, taijutsu, etc. their opponents knew.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
This sentence is particularly applicable to the world of Naruto.
Even though they have been in the same class for more than a year, they have not had many practical exams. In addition, their strength changes every day at this age. Without knowing each other well, it is hard to say whether the other person has any special abilities.
Moreover, they are all students in the elite class, and basically, are from ninja families. It is unknown when they may have learned the family secret techniques.
"Chika."
Chika turned his head and saw that it was Asuma.
Although Sarutobi Asuma was only seven years old at this time, he had thick hair all over his body and a toothpick in his mouth, looking too mature.
Chika sighed in his heart: The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have to worry about whether he was being cheated on or not.
Judging from the look of Asuma, he must be his biological son.
Chika asked, "It's Asuma, are you here to collect information about me for Kurenai?"
"Haha, so you've figured out why Teacher Ryoichi gave us two days off. You're indeed an elite of the Uchiha clan, much better than some of the last-place guys."
Asuma laughed, and while complimenting Chika, he also looked down on Uchiha Obito who was still licking Nohara Rin like a dog.
Then, his face straightened, and he said, "Chika, I know that even if Kurenai collected all your information, she would not be your opponent."
So, what Asuma said is basically correct.
Judging from previous actual combat, Chika's strength is among the top five in the class, while Kurenai's best result is only average.
The prerequisite for knowing yourself and your enemy, and winning every battle, is that the gap between the two people is not too big.
In the face of absolute strength, intelligence gathering can only let you know why you died when you die.
Chika looked directly into Asuma's eyes, and seeing that he hadn't changed, he nodded in agreement and asked, "So why are you here?"
"Well, I just hope you can let Kurenai off a little in the test and not let her lose so badly."
Chika gave Asuma a cold look. This boy really put a lot of effort into picking up girls.
Seeing that Chika didn't respond, Asuma continued, "You know, Kurenai is weak and can't take care of herself. If I don't ask you to help her, I'm afraid you will fuck her!"
"Don't talk nonsense, although I really want to do this, my physical condition does not allow it!"
