Chapter 307: Hoshino Makoto, Ninja Pre-school Assessment.
Kabuto Yakushi held Hoshino Makoto's hand and walked calmly with a calm expression, as if he was a god walking in the world, with no attachment to the human world at all.
Even the bold remarks of the girls around him could not shake his cold expression, as if they were just passing clouds.
However, this does not mean that everyone can be at ease.
Makoto Hoshino felt the gazes coming from all around and couldn't help but become nervous. He leaned closer to Kabuto and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the ground, as if something on the ground had aroused his interest.
Yakushi Kabuto raised his eyebrows. He naturally noticed Hoshino Makoto's little trick. He glanced around, frowned, and then quickened his pace, quickly passing through the heavy encirclement.
"Ah... these people are so troublesome. They scared Xiao Cheng." Pharmacist Dou was a little dissatisfied. Usually he didn't care about it, but today he had his younger brother with him, so he couldn't help but care.
After nimbly dodging the fanatical fans who were chasing him, Kabuto Yakushi breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing speechlessness and helplessness.
However, there is only one year left, and I won’t have to endure this after I graduate.
Just as he was thinking this in his heart, he finally took Hoshino Makoto to the class for the preparatory exam.
Ninja School has not undergone any major changes in recent years and still recruits students according to the previous model, but there have been some changes.
For example, originally there was a unified test, where all the ninja school preparatory students were put together for an ability test. Those who passed the test would become formal students and would continue their six-year ninja school life.
But this is not the case in recent years. Every student takes a separate test, and the examiners will make a comprehensive evaluation. As long as they reach the passing line, they will pass, and there is no limit on the number of people.
In other words, the school will admit as many students as the number of people who pass the application process.
This is also an adjustment made due to the large gap in ninjas.
"Brother Dou, do you think I can pass?" Standing at the door of the classroom, Hoshino Makoto kept tangling his hair with his fingers, an uneasy look on his face, his whole body tense, obviously in a state of tension.
He has been in an orphanage as far as he can remember. According to the director, he was abandoned at the door of the orphanage.
Although he was adopted and had brothers and sisters taking care of him in the orphanage, he was still insecure inside because... he was a child abandoned by his parents.
Such experiences, like a carving knife, left an indelible mark in his heart and accompanied him as he grew up.
Hearing this trembling voice, Yao Shidou smiled, stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his soft short hair, speaking with a gentle tone.
"Relax, you have to believe in yourself." Yakushi Kabuto squatted down and looked straight at him, as if he could give him courage and confidence through his gaze.
"The test is simple. With your ability, you will definitely pass it easily." Pharmacist Kabuto said encouragingly.
When Hoshino Makoto heard what his brother Kabuto said, a warm current rose in his heart and flowed through his limbs, as if he was filled with strength.
"Next,... Hoshino Makoto."
Hearing the shouts in the classroom, Makoto Hoshino couldn't help but shudder, but then he took a deep breath and walked in.
Yakushi Kabuto watched his brother's figure gradually disappear. The next second, the gentleness on his face disappeared and became cold again, as if the only remaining gentleness did not exist at all.
"Cheng, maybe the orphanage has limited your horizons. You are much better than you think."
Pharmacist Dou thought secretly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
At the same time, in the classroom, Makoto Hoshino was undergoing a test from his teacher.
As soon as he walked in, Makoto Hoshino immediately felt several pairs of eyes staring at him, as if they could see through all surfaces and disguises and discern the hidden truth.
That burning yet undisguised gaze made Hoshino Makoto's scalp tingle, but fortunately it lasted only briefly and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Standing in the center of the classroom, Makoto Hoshino emptied his mind and looked straight ahead, just like a soldier waiting for orders, in order to calm his nervous heart.
"Your name is... Makoto Hoshino?" The examiner looked down at the information about Makoto Hoshino in his hand and then asked.
There were three examiners on the podium, one chief examiner and two deputy examiners.
"...Uh, yes, teacher,...Do you have any questions?" Makoto Hoshino had never expected the examiner to ask this. He was stunned for a moment before answering.
The examiner looked at him, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in his heart. He always felt that he had seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where. In the end, he could only shake his head and said.
"No, then let's do the ninjutsu test first. You can choose to perform on your own or specify a ninjutsu."
The examiner explained the content and rules of the test to him, and then stopped talking, quietly watching his next move.
Hearing this, Hoshino Makoto nodded, and then his expression became serious. At this moment, all his cowardice seemed to have disappeared.
boom! boom! boom!
I saw Hoshino Makoto forming seals with his hands at a constant speed, then white smoke came out of the ground, and three clones suddenly appeared.
As the chief examiner, his ability is naturally good or even excellent, not to mention his vision.
Surprise flashed across his eyes, and he whispered, "Perfect clone technique, a genius?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to have discovered something, and a look of shock appeared in his pupils.
"This kid is doing pretty well. He's very skilled in the clone technique, with no flaws to be found. Even a Chunin may not be able to achieve this level of proficiency."
"Are kids these days so amazing? I never saw such a perfect clone technique when I was in school."
Hoshino Makoto's outstanding performance surprised the deputy examiner and even made him feel a little inferior.
Sometimes, it’s not good to meet someone who is too stunning, because you will subconsciously compare yourself with them and then find out that you are useless.
The other deputy examiner's mouth twitched and a look of shame appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but recall his performance in school.
"By the way, can the clone technique be done to this extent?"
The deputy examiner touched his chin and said puzzledly, "As a poor student, it is normal to have such doubts."
After that, the examiner said in a serious tone: "This is different from the ordinary three-body technique. These clones are all entities."
"Entity? Is it the same as Shadow Clone? But isn't that a B-level ninjutsu, and very difficult to master?" The two deputy examiners said in surprise.
The child in front of me is only five years old, but he has already mastered such complicated ninjutsu. This... this is no longer something that can be described as genius.
However, the examiner shook his head after listening to it, and said with a serious expression: "No, this is not a shadow clone. No matter how talented he is, he does not have enough chakra and cannot last long."
"So, there is only one possibility. This should be... a clone created by his bloodline limit."
