Chapter 236 Exam Results

“How many points will I get this time?” With a good mood, Anko and her two good brothers squeezed into the results board surrounded by the crowd.

Anko’s big eyes quickly scanned the results board, successfully finding the scores for Class 1, Grade 1, and then looking for her own scores within it.

“Eh, only eighty-one points?” Anko scratched her head, not very satisfied with her score.

This time, she had truly studied for two days, not going out to play on Saturday and Sunday, but reviewing instead, yet the results were still about the same as before.

Then Anko checked Kotetsu’s score, who had said he scored average earlier, only to see a big ninety-seven written there, causing Anko to clench her fists.

Next, Anko looked for Izumo’s score, who claimed he did a bit poorly, and found it was ninety-eight points, one point more than Kotetsu, which made her clench her fists even tighter.

As for Shisui’s score, Anko had already seen it when looking for their scores: one hundred points.

“Okay, okay, ninety-seven is ‘average,’ and ninety-eight is ‘a bit poor,’ is it?!” Anko immediately wanted to give her two good brothers a taste of the shock from the second-place finisher in the Grade Level Practical Exam.

“Shisui also said it was just’so-so,’ but he scored one hundred points. Why don’t you go bother him?” Izumo, seeing the situation was not good, tried to use a proxy to attack.

“Because he always scores one hundred, so even if he says’still the same,’ it’s actually true,” Anko said, rubbing her palms together.

Of course, the main reasons were that her relationship with Shisui wasn’t that good, and she couldn’t beat him.

“We also score these points every time!” Kotetsu said, unconvinced.

“But you Guys are too pretentious!” Anko was ready to strike hard.

“Wow, look, Might Guy and Uchiha Obito actually completed one B-Rank Mission, and even two A-Rank Missions!”

“I remember the teacher seemed to say that D-Rank and C-Rank Missions are for Genin, Chunin do C-Rank and B-Rank, and even Chunin can’t do A-Rank Missions. How did they get A-Rank Missions?” The Intern Ninja students were very puzzled by this.

The results board instantly became a hub of discussion about Might Guy and Uchiha Obito’s astonishing mission records.

Among a sea of D-Rank mission records from Intern Ninja, Might Guy and their two A-Rank and one B-Rank Missions were truly eye-catching.

In fact, not only were the students checking scores surprised, but even the teachers were shocked when they saw their records while posting the scores, because they had only done some B-Rank Missions and no A-Rank Missions.

Anko, who loved to join in on the fun, temporarily let her two good brothers off the hook and squeezed with them to gawk at Obito’s scores.

Uchiha Tekka didn’t have a habit of checking scores, but because of Obito’s boastful words in class earlier, he curiously came to the results board to watch the show, wanting to see how Obito would handle the situation, and then he heard the students’ shocked exclamations.

“How is that possible?” Uchiha Tekka frowned, this was not Ninja-like at all.

Seeing is believing, hearing is not. Uchiha Tekka squeezed through with sheer strength, searching for Obito’s scores.

“He really completed A-Rank and B-Rank Missions, and it’s even two A-Rank Missions and one B-Rank Mission!” Uchiha Tekka instantly showed an expression of extreme shock.

He hadn’t expected that Obito’s seemingly outlandish claim was actually true.

“How is that possible? How did he, an Intern Ninja, get missions that even official Genin can’t get?” Uchiha Tekka racked his brain but couldn’t figure out what was going on.

“Could it be that he was worried his lie would be exposed and he changed it himself early in the morning?” Uchiha Tekka thought to himself.

He would rather believe that what was written there was false than believe it was true, because it truly went against his common sense.

Not just Uchiha Tekka, many people came specifically for Obito’s scores.

There were classmates from Obito’s class, and also Intern Ninja who had previously thought Obito was bragging.

When they saw the scores on the results board, they were instantly shocked, followed by a phantom pain of being slapped in the face by thin air.

“How could there really be two A-Rank Missions? Could it be that Muzuki-sensei is not only strong in teaching ability, but his own strength also surpasses that of ordinary Jonin?” The Intern Ninja who had questioned Obito earlier felt their faces burning.

“It’s really as Obito said. I’m so envious of Obito and Guy. This internship is too exciting. They actually fought with Jonin during missions.”

Shiranui Genma looked at Obito’s dazzling two A-Rank Missions, showing an envious expression.

“The Jonin should have been dealt with by Muzuki-sensei. Obito and them would mainly deal with enemies below enemy Jonin, or assist Muzuki-sensei in battles with Jonin,” Ebisu analyzed rationally.

He thought that no matter how strong Obito and Might Guy were, they hadn’t reached the point where they could fight Jonin, who were the high-level combat forces of the Five Great Ninja Villages.

“No matter what, this is too impressive. We are all Intern Ninja, but while we’re doing odd jobs, Obito and them are already fighting Ninja from enemy villages.”

Shiranui Genma sighed, feeling as if he and Obito were not in the same world.

Ebisu nodded. This record was indeed explosively strong, completely outclassing all other Intern Ninja of their generation.

With the facts laid bare, even the Intern Ninja who had not believed Obito before had to admit that they had underestimated him.

Just then, Obito and Might Guy appeared, with Rin Nohara and Kakashi by their side.

At this time, the surrounding students were still discussing how Obito and Might Guy completed A-Rank Missions.

“Hehe, Guy, they all seem to be talking about us,” Obito said with a smile, listening to the students’ discussions.

The reason Kakashi was here was that Obito had specifically dragged him over, wanting to show off in front of Kakashi.

He had been unilaterally shown off by Kakashi all this time, and he had long wanted Kakashi to experience how he felt.

“But it’s true that we’re too outstanding. The privilege of doing higher-level missions in advance isn’t something everyone has,” Obito added, before Might Guy could speak.

“I, however, think that Muzuki-sensei also has a lot to do with it,” Kakashi, who couldn’t stand it, said lightly.

“Indeed, in the end, Hokage-sama also asked Muzuki-sensei before granting us the privilege,” Might Guy said, stroking his chin and nodding.

He acknowledged his own excellence but also felt that Muzuki had played a significant role in it.

Because there were too many students gathered around, it was chaotic, and not many people noticed Obito and their arrival. Even if they did, they would at most chat with a friend, and wouldn’t suddenly shout, “Look, Uchiha Obito is here!”

As the few of them squeezed in, they gradually became visible to more people.

“Obito, Guy, Rin, hello! Oh, Kakashi, you’re here too, long time no see.” Shiranui Genma looked at Kakashi as if he had seen something rare.

He didn’t have as good a relationship with Kakashi as Obito and Rin Nohara, so he hadn’t seen Kakashi for about three years.

“Hmm, long time no see,” Kakashi replied calmly, nodding.

“I knew what you said was definitely true, Obito, you’re really strong,” Shiranui Genma said, patting Obito’s shoulder and smiling.

“Of course I wouldn’t brag. Actually, it’s just so-so.” Hearing Shiranui Genma’s direct praise, Obito was overjoyed inside, trying hard to control the corners of his mouth from curving up too much, and said modestly.

“How about it, Kakashi? This is something you couldn’t do, right?” Obito said, with a smirk, pointing to the number of completed missions next to his scores.

“When I graduated, there was no Intern Ninja system, so of course it was impossible for me to have that,” Kakashi said with a calm expression.

Although he felt that even if he became an Intern Ninja, it would be difficult to replicate such a record, the person standing in front of him was Obito. Kakashi had no intention of complimenting him, only to severely Strike him.

“You say that as if you could do it if you were an intern. Didn’t you also say that C-Rank Missions couldn’t go wrong?” Obito said, pouting.

Obito’s words silenced Kakashi. This was something he still hadn’t figured out.

Although it was true that accidents were more likely to occur during wartime, it was a bit exaggerated for all three of their missions to have accidents. They even encountered elite Jonin and Raikage Candidates.

“It’s due to the wartime period, plus bad luck. Normally, it wouldn’t be like this,” Kakashi gave what he considered the most reasonable explanation.

Then Kakashi looked at the results board. He found a point to attack Obito.

“There is one thing you did that I truly cannot do.”

“Oh, Kakashi, you finally admit…” Obito’s smile grew brighter.

But before Obito could finish smiling, Kakashi continued:

“Scoring forty points on a theoretical exam, that’s something I truly can’t do. After all, with such a simple test, even if you just do it casually, the total score should be at least sixty, right?”

Obito’s smile froze. He thought, ‘Darn it.’ He had only been thinking about getting a satisfying comeback today and had forgotten about his terrible theoretical score on the board.

He had been training with Muzuki all semester, and the only reason he scored forty was because the final exam of the semester tested what had been taught previously, plus he had done the problems Muzuki gave him.

“So what if my theory is a bit weak? Being good at tests doesn’t make you defeat an opponent. Didn’t you still lose to me in the practical exam?”

Seeing Kakashi target his weakness, Obito also brought up the time he defeated Kakashi.

Regardless of Kakashi’s mood, the students checking scores nearby were stunned by Obito’s single sentence, which contained a huge amount of information.

“Obito defeated Kakashi in a practical exam?” Shiranui Genma was utterly astonished, completely frozen.

Anyone who was in the same generation as Kakashi knew how strong Kakashi was. Not just ordinarily strong, but overwhelmingly strong, giving people the feeling that no matter how hard you tried, you could never surpass him.

When others were still learning the Clone Technique, Kakashi could already use the Shadow Clone. When others were still struggling to hit the target with Shuriken and Kunai, Kakashi could already casually throw a handful of Shuriken and hit all targets.

When others were still in the Ninja Academy, Kakashi quickly graduated early, becoming a Genin at five and a Chunin at six, with a promotion speed that left many older Genin behind.

That’s why Shiranui Genma was so surprised to hear Obito say he defeated Kakashi in a practical exam.

“One victory doesn’t mean every victory. I will win it back sooner or later,” Kakashi admitted his defeat.

The conversation between the two plunged the surrounding Fourth Grade students into silence, all showing expressions of their worldview collapsing.

Especially those Intern Ninja who knew Kakashi was Obito’s teammate, they had thought Obito was being carried by Kakashi, but now Obito’s strength was actually stronger than Kakashi’s.

“My dear friend, keep working hard. I’m always waiting for your challenge,” Might Guy said, flashing his bright white teeth and giving Kakashi a thumbs-up.

“That day won’t be too far off,” Kakashi said seriously.

He was close to mastering the Total Concentration Breathing of Thunder Breathing, and once he completed the Constant State training and learned to use Nature Transformation to strengthen his reaction nerves, his strength would undergo a qualitative change.

Might Guy and Kakashi’s conversation once again startled the people nearby.

Kakashi and Might Guy’s battle was actually in the posture of a challenger, so didn’t that mean Kakashi also lost to Might Guy?

However, thinking that Obito, who had defeated Kakashi, had also lost to Might Guy a few days ago, everything made sense.

“I’m really getting further and further away from them,” Shiranui Genma sighed inwardly.

During the summer special training, he still had the idea of catching up to Might Guy and Obito, but now that idea was completely gone, because the gap was too large, and he couldn’t even entertain the thought of catching up.

He had defeated Chunin even before graduating, and even a genius Ninja like Kakashi.

“No wonder every time I watch Guy and them fight, they seem impossibly strong. So their strength has actually reached this level,” Shiranui Genma seemed to understand everything.

Kakashi noticed someone looking at him with unusual eyes, their gaze as if they had seen a celebrity they once followed have a scandal, but Kakashi paid no attention.

The only useful thing he learned after that incident was to ignore the gazes and words of irrelevant people.

After checking the results, accompanied by the back-and-forth exchanges between Kakashi and Obito, the few of them returned to the forest to cultivate.

【Disciple Uchiha Shisui diligently cultivated and achieved a perfect score in the academic assessment, receiving a reward: Chakra +300, Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll】

【Disciple Uchiha Obito diligently cultivated and achieved a good score in the academic assessment, receiving a reward: Chakra +170】

【Disciple Might Guy diligently cultivated and achieved a good score in the academic assessment, receiving a reward: Chakra +230】

After the results were out, Muzuki also received the settlement of the exam rewards: a total of seven hundred Chakra points, and a useful Ninjutsu Proficiency Scroll.

Although the practical exam results were more or less the same as before, the theoretical exam results dropped a bit because he hadn’t studied for a while, but Muzuki didn’t care.

Because the Chakra he earned by taking Obito and them on missions during that period was much more than what he got from the exam settlement.

After training his disciples for three days as usual, on the sixth day after the exam, Muzuki took his disciples to the Hokage Building to do missions.

Since it was also Obito’s birthday and the exam, they had stayed in Konoha for more than half a month this time, so it was time to do some missions and stretch their muscles.

“Are there any C-Rank Missions? Any country or type is fine,” Muzuki asked.

This time, he didn’t have a strong objective and was prepared to go with the flow.

It’s already ten o’clock, worried that someone is waiting impatiently, so I’m publishing directly. This is not malicious cliffhanging. Also, I’m feeling a bit unwell today, having diarrhea. As I’m typing this, I’m already preparing to go to the restroom. There will be more later.
