Chapter 12
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Byakuya, and a guess began to form in his mind!
But this guess is almost impossible!
Even geniuses like Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and Hatake Kakashi probably couldn't do it.
Byakuya saw through the Third Hokage's thoughts.
"My own self-created ninjutsu!"
His words once again caused the entire classroom to erupt in excitement.
"How could that be? Byakuya, you can't joke about something like this with the Hokage."
Iruka thought Baiye was joking.
You have to understand how old he is now, how could he possibly have created his own ninjutsu?
"No, it's true, Bai Ye isn't joking!"
The Third Hokage's expression became very serious.
He knew that Bai Ye was not lying, and even disdained to lie.
Since Hiruzen Sarutobi was able to cultivate the "Three Legendary Sannin" who were renowned throughout the ninja world, his foresight is beyond question.
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely familiar with ninjutsu.
The title of "Ninja World Doctor" is well-deserved!
"The hand seals that Byakuya used for his ninjutsu just now were completely unique!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know how to explain it.
Isn't it unique? No respectable person would just clap their hands together to form a hand seal.
"So, Byakuya-kun created a ninjutsu that's comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu!!"
Ino was breathing rapidly, and she seemed to be in disbelief.
"No, he even created his own ninjutsu?"
Sasuke began to regret it; why did he even compare himself to Byakuya?
Bai Ye was not someone he could easily frame.
It could even be said that Bai Ye had absolutely no reason to take him seriously.
This made the extremely arrogant Sasuke completely lose his temper.
"So, Hokage-sama, what was the result of this exam?"
Iruka felt he was no longer fit to be an examiner.
A genius who created his own ninjutsu—how could a teacher dare to comment on that?
Therefore, Iruka ultimately left the final decision to the Third Hokage.
After all, only the Third Hokage holds this title now.
"Bai Ye truly deserves his title as Konoha's number one genius; his achievements cannot be judged by a single exam!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi personally bestowed the title of Konoha's number one genius upon Byakuya.
You should know that Konoha has been established for decades and has never had a number one genius.
After all, it's impossible to please everyone when it comes to this kind of thing; no one can guarantee that a person can gain everyone's approval.
However, Bai Ye's appearance directly disrupted this situation.
He was not even old enough to graduate, yet he was already able to create his own S-rank ninjutsu.
In addition, Byakuya himself possesses the Wood Release bloodline limit and the bloodline of the Senju clan.
No one dared to stand up and oppose his title as the number one genius!
Bai Ye didn't seem to have much of a reaction to this.
It's just a title.
He didn't really care too much.
But that didn't stop the students from chanting Bai Ye's name.

However, if you were to say that Bai Ye successfully passing the exam puts more pressure on whoever is more likely to pass?
Right now, we can only say that Naruto is under the most pressure.
"How can this be tested?"
Naruto's expression was blank. With Byakuya's performance as an example, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Clone Technique!"
Under everyone's gaze, Naruto's clone looked like a deflated doll.
"That idiot!"
Even Shikamaru couldn't help but lift his forehead.
The next second, the entire class burst into laughter.
"Naruto!"
Iruka sighed.
Although he knew how determined Naruto was to become a genin.
But he had no choice; he had to uphold justice.
"Oh, Iruka-sensei, don't be so rigid. I think Naruto's performance is already much better than usual."
Today, since the Hokage himself had come, Mizuki mustered his courage and pleaded with the fox demon he despised.
Of course, Mizuki would never have done such a thing if it weren't to gain the favor of the fox spirit!
"Lord Hokage!"
Iruka could only turn his gaze to the Third Hokage.
To everyone's surprise, the Third Hokage remained remarkably calm.
"Teacher Iruka is the examiner in this matter, so you don't need to worry about my opinion."
"Since the Hokage says so, Naruto Uzumaki, you fail!"
Iruka wrote "fail" directly on Naruto's report card.
Even Naruto couldn't accept this scene.
Like being struck by lightning, Naruto kept a long face afterward, as if he had lost all hope.
Just as the graduation exams ended and everyone was heading home.
However, Byakuya was stopped by Naruto on the way.
"Bai Ye, please help me think of a way. How can I pass the exam?"
Naruto looked at Byakuya with a pitiful expression.
In Konoha, his relationship with Byakuya was similar.
Moreover, Bai Ye just demonstrated such powerful dominance.
Naruto now genuinely hopes that Byakuya can offer him some help.
"Naruto, you need to understand that you are different from everyone else!"
"Don't waste your time on proper ninjutsu; these things are not for you!"
Byakuya patted Naruto on the shoulder, encouraging him with a determined look in his eyes.
"Then, what should I play?"
A hint of confusion appeared on Naruto's face.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu and Rasengan are the ones you should be playing with!"
Byakuya naturally knew what Naruto was suited for. As someone who had mastered the Rasengan over 700 levels, he shouldn't waste his time on other ninjutsu.
"I know about Shadow Clone Jutsu, but what the heck is Rasengan?"
Naruto feels an itch on his head today, like a brain is growing out of it.
"Okay, you can come to my house at midnight tonight, and I'll tell you what to do!"
Bai Ye was very careful in every move she made while talking to Naruto.
He was worried that he would be monitored by the secret service.
However, after Bai Ye's reconnaissance, no members of the Dark Guard were found to be following them.
That makes sense. After all, the Hokage is still at school. Maybe they're reporting missions to the Hokage.
"Midnight, okay, I got it!"
Naruto was overjoyed to see that Byakuya was willing to help him.
This instantly swept away the gloom from before.
Byakuya watched Naruto leave in silence.
"This is getting more and more interesting!"
Byakuya couldn't wait to see what kind of expression Hiruzen Sarutobi would have.
Time flies, it's almost time for Byakuya to practice Wood Release again.
It's already past midnight.
"Let's sign in one more time before Naruto arrives!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the purple-level forbidden technique: Instant Shadow Assassination Array!"
Forbidden Technique, Instant Shadow Kill Formation: Becomes untargetable, dashes forward and leaves a shadow clone in place, and marks the target. Reactivating it allows you to swap positions!
"This bloodline limit is pretty strong!"
Bai Ye said in surprise.
Because this is not a ninjutsu, but a bloodline limit.
Besides what the system describes, Bai Ye can do many other things, such as teleporting over extremely long distances and swapping spaces.
"That makes things much simpler from here on out."
"Knock knock knock!"
Is Bai Ye there?
Naruto's voice came from outside the door.
Byakuya first opened the door and let Naruto in.
"Bai Ye, do you have any good ideas on how I can pass the exam?"
Even after so much time has passed, Naruto is still somewhat excited.
"It's simple. You only need to master one ninjutsu to pass the exam smoothly, but you can only steal this ninjutsu."
Byakuya didn't hide his upcoming actions, since Naruto needed to know about them.
"Then I'll go steal it right now!"
Upon hearing that there was something that could help him pass the exam, Naruto immediately prepared to steal it.
Byakuya hadn't expected Naruto to have such a strong sense of self-adaptability.
He didn't even hesitate for a moment.
"You can't steal it by yourself. I happen to need some ninjutsu, so I can go and steal it for you!"
"This, this is not possible!"
