Chapter 11
"There's probably a one-in-three chance I'll pass."
Bai Ye said casually, after all, if the test was on transformation techniques, Bai Ye thought Naruto might actually be able to do it.
But if I draw the Clone Technique or the Substitution Technique, then I'll send it!
The Nine-Tails has had a significant impact on Naruto, to the point that he can't even name any other ninjutsu besides the Transformation Technique.
"Really?"
Upon hearing that he still had a one-third chance of success, Naruto perked up.
"I must pass the genin exam!"
After being encouraged by Byakuya, Naruto regained his confidence.
With a one-in-three chance, it's impossible to be guaranteed not to win.
...
"Naruto Uzumaki, the test question is: Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Oh!"
Bai Ye almost burst out laughing when he saw this.
Sure enough, someone resorted to underhanded tactics.
He noticed that the teacher who selected the exam questions was the same person who had tricked Naruto into stealing the Scroll of Seals.
Mizuki!
In the draw just now, Mizuki had already drawn the Transformation Jutsu, but he quickly changed it.
Of course, he couldn't hide such subtle actions from them.
On the other side, Naruto stood there dumbfounded, as if he had been hit hard.
"Next up, Uchiha Sasuke, Shadow Clone Technique!"
"White Night, or a clone technique?"
Shuimu was a little puzzled. Except for the first one, which wasn't a clone technique, the next two were clone techniques!
Could it be that this fox spirit really has good luck?
"Sasuke, in that case, you come up first."
Seeing this, Iruka let Sasuke come up and take the test first, which also gave Naruto some time to prepare.
Before going on stage, Sasuke gave Byakuya a proud look.
"Clone Technique!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four clones appeared around Sasuke in a row, a scene that stunned everyone present.
"That's amazing! It created four clones at once!"
"No wonder he was the 'former' chief, he's amazing!"
Sasuke felt a mix of unease as he listened to the former chief's words.
However, Sasuke later came to terms with it and realized that this time, he would definitely be able to win back everything he had lost.
Sasuke then looked at Byakuya with a cold expression.
"Not bad, not bad at all, as expected of Uchiha Sasuke!"
Sasuke's performance even shocked Iruka and Mizuki.
To be able to create four clones at this age is already quite extraordinary.
"Sasuke, Shadow Clone Technique, perfect score, you pass the test!"
Iruka wrote "Excellent" directly on Sasuke's grade.
"Next up, Bai Ye!"
Iruka turned his gaze back to Bai Ye, the student who had brought him countless miracles.
The students in the audience also turned to look.
You know, Bai Ye is now recognized as the strongest among them, and everyone wants to know how many clones Bai Ye can create.
"Shikamaru, Shikamaru, how many of Byakuya do you think he can split into?"
Choji asked curiously while eating snacks.
"I don't know, I suspect it's not that simple!"
Although Shikamaru looked uninterested, he knew it.
Bai Ye is definitely not the kind of person who would split into ten if you split into four.
"Hmph, I think Bai Ye can definitely split off at least a dozen!"
After overhearing their conversation, Sakura also spoke firmly.
"Nonsense, there should be at least twenty!"
Ino and Sakura can even disagree on this very issue.
"Ms. Mizuki, I don't know what you were doing on that mission recently, but now Bai Ye is probably the strongest in our class!"
Iruka also became expectant, and then explained to Mizuki, who had just returned to the village.
"Is that so? The strongest!"
Despite his outwardly righteous demeanor, Shui Mu was already secretly plotting his next move.
"An avatar!"
As Bai Ye clapped his hands, a clone identical to himself appeared on the field.
"Why is there only one?"
Iruka was somewhat puzzled, knowing that during the last battle with Sasuke, Byakuya was able to create more than a dozen clones.
Why can I only create one clone now?
"What's going on? What's going on?"
The surrounding classmates also started talking about it.
"Teacher, I'm here!"
It was only then that Bai Ye, who was standing by the window, greeted them.
To everyone's surprise, there was another White Night next to the window.
"Two? Three? Wait, which one is real?"
Iruka was completely dumbfounded, because he couldn't tell which was the real body and which was the clone.
Although Sasuke created four clones, Iruka could tell which one was a clone at a glance.
But when it came to Bai Ye, all the clones were almost identical.
There is no difference.
"Which of you is the real White Night?"
Iruka pointed at the three White Nights on the field, looking somewhat bewildered.
At that moment, the Third Hokage opened the door and walked in.
"Lord Hokage!"
Iruka and the others immediately stood up upon seeing the Third Hokage.
"Don't panic!"
"I was just passing by, just passing by."
The Third Hokage, of course, wouldn't say that he saw this scene through a crystal ball and rushed over.
P.S.: 10 updates daily. As a long-time author, I'm asking for flowers, ratings, comments, monthly tickets, and rewards. The first day is especially important. Thank you all, my dear readers!
Chapter Fifteen: Self-created Ninjutsu, Konoha's Number One Genius, Byakuya!
"I never expected that the Third Generation Lord would be able to grace us with his presence despite his busy schedule!"
Iruka and Mizuki both stood up immediately.
Shuimu was already cursing. Was his plan going to fail before it even started?
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi paid no attention to Mizuki.
Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived in front of Byakuya's external avatar.
"This is absolutely flawless; even I, an old man, cannot tell the difference!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect Byakuya to give me another surprise."
"Uh, even the Hokage couldn't tell? That's too exaggerated."
A murmur of discussion arose from the surrounding area.
You have to understand that for these ninja academy students, the Hokage is already the strongest being in their eyes.
But now he can't even recognize the Third Hokage!
"Disperse!"
"Bang!"
As Bai Ye clasped his hands together, his avatar disappeared, revealing his true form.
"This ninjutsu is definitely not an ordinary Shadow Clone Technique!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Byakuya with admiration.
"Third-generation grandfather, what is the Shadow Clone Technique?"
Naruto and the people around him were already dumbfounded when they heard about the Shadow Clone Technique.
In their minds, there is only the concept of creating clones.
At their age, they haven't yet encountered more advanced clone techniques.
"The B-rank ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Technique, is a higher-level ninjutsu than the Clone Technique."
Faced with Naruto's question, the Third Hokage explained very carefully.
However, Naruto only heard that the Shadow Clone Technique was advanced.
"However, the ninjutsu used by Byakuya is definitely more advanced than the Shadow Clone Technique!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi changed the subject.
The students present were shocked.
"Even higher than B-level? It can't be A or S-level, can it?"
Shikamaru gasped.
Could it be that Byakuya, who is about the same age as them, has already mastered this level of ninjutsu?
Sasuke was the one who was hit the hardest.
His face felt burning hot right now.
He felt that his previous behavior made him look like a monkey in Bai Ye's eyes.
No wonder Bai Ye never holds grudges against himself.
The more this happened, the more ashamed Sasuke felt.
"But, where did Byakuya learn this level of ninjutsu?"
This is what Shikamaru is most concerned about right now.
You should know that even the Hokage can't see through the Shadow Clone Technique, so who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village has it?
"Bai Ye, this ninjutsu..."
