Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Graduation Test



"Tomorrow is the graduation test..."

"I heard from Teacher Yuhi that, in addition to the regular exams, the Third Hokage will also arrange a survival combat test with three Genin ninjas."

As the evening sun dyed the entire Konoha forest red, under the fading light of the setting sun, you could see a trace of disdain curling up at the corner of Yu's mouth.

"Hmph, with my current strength, dealing with three Genin ninjas is a piece of cake..."

"I just wonder if that guy, Shisui, can handle it."

It wasn't so much the improvement in his strength that inflated Yu's self-confidence, but rather his current perspective and vision. Three Genin ninjas were indeed not a concern in his eyes.

"I hope tomorrow won't be too boring..."

...

Night fell.

At this time, when the children at the Konoha Orphanage would typically be heading to bed, an excited commotion suddenly erupted.

"What?!"

"Applying for early graduation?!"

Yakushi Nono, who had just returned to the Konoha Orphanage with exhaustion, looked in astonishment at Yu standing before her. In Yu's hand was a confirmation form for early graduation.

"Since applying for early graduation requires the consent of parents and guardians..."

Looking at Yakushi Nono, who wore a surprised expression, Yu didn't react too much. In this life, he didn't even know who his parents were, so the confirmation form for early graduation could only be signed by Yakushi Nono, the head of the orphanage who had adopted him.

"This... This is so cool!"

"Yu, you're going to graduate after just one year of enrollment?!"

At this moment, in the main hall of the wooden house, Yu and Yakushi Nono were surrounded by a circle of children. Urushi, who was nonchalantly sitting there, had widened his eyes in amazement, and his envy and astonishment were written all over his face.

"So, does this mean that Yū will soon become an official ninja?"

"He truly is an unquestionable genius!!"

Meanwhile, the other friends around them were looking at Yu with disbelief.

Especially the few young girls like Momoka and Mai, their big eyes were already filled with admiration and awe.

"He's only a year older than me... and he's already graduating from the ninja school?"

"Yu... You're such an enviable guy!"

At this moment, watching Yu, who was being admired as if he possessed everything in the world, even Kabuto, who was standing in the corner, had a look of yearning and anticipation in his black eyes beneath his large glasses.

"But, Yu..."

Different from the children around them who blindly admired and looked up to him, Yakushi Nono wore a deeply worried expression on her gentle face as she looked at Yu, who was only six years old.

"You're only six years old, and you're already becoming an official ninja... Isn't it too early?"

"Don't worry, Headmistress."

Understanding Yakushi Nono's concerns and worries, Yu smiled lightly. "To successfully graduate from the Ninja Academy, I need to pass the test designed by the Third Hokage himself."

"Besides, Headmistress, I bought you a gift with the reward I received from treating the village's ninjas."

Yu said up to this point and hesitated slightly.

From the black-and-white kimono he had just put on, he took out a new pair of black-framed glasses and handed them to Yakushi Nono. "This is a gift I bought for you."

"This is...?"

Looking at the gift Yu handed her, Yakushi Nono was taken aback. After opening the box, she found a pair of black-framed glasses that Yu had given her.

When she put them on, the smile on the white-haired young man's face became clearer, but she felt her eye sockets gradually moistening.

"Yu, you... You child..."

At night, in the wooden house, the candlelight gradually warmed up the late autumn.

...

Early the next morning, the training ground of the Ninja Academy was crowded with people.

In addition to the Ninja Academy students and ninja instructors who came to watch the graduation test, many other villagers and ordinary citizens from the village also gathered.

After all, since the genius ninja Kakashi Hatake, two more geniuses had applied for early graduation from the Ninja Academy at the age of six. Naturally, this attracted widespread attention in Konoha Village.

Everyone wanted to see how these two recently renowned geniuses from Konoha would perform and what remarkable feats they would achieve.

In fact, even the Third Hokage, though he didn't personally attend, was observing every move through a crystal ball and the use of long-distance viewing jutsu from his office.

Today's graduation test included a ninja theory exam and a practical test of the Body Flicker Technique.

For Yu and Shisui, there was no difficulty at all. They quickly achieved a perfect score, and the test everyone had been anticipating was the survival combat test.

"Yakushi Yu, Uchiha Shisui."

"These six Genin ninjas are your opponents for the upcoming survival combat test."

"Your task is to individually withstand the attacks of three Genin ninjas and survive for five minutes. If you can survive, you will pass the exam."

In the vast Ninja Academy training ground, Yu and Shisui, who were standing in front of Yuhi Shinku, the most powerful ninja instructor at the Ninja Academy and now a jōnin, were listening attentively.

Yuhi Shinku, who had been promoted to jōnin yesterday, was naturally the chief examiner for this highly anticipated graduation test.

Behind Yuhi Shinku, there were six adult ninja standing side by side, dressed in green vests and wearing Konoha forehead protectors. They exuded a tough and practiced aura, clearly experienced elite Genin ninjas who had completed hundreds of missions.

"So..."

"Which of you two wants to go first in the test?"

Yuhi Shinku gazed at Yu and Shisui, who were standing before him, with a fiery look in his eyes.

"Yu, your grades at the Ninja Academy have always been higher than mine."

"This time, let me go first!"

Just as Yu was about to step forward, Shisui had already taken the lead and stood in front of him. Then, he turned to Yu and flashed a sly smile.

Although they were in competition at the Ninja Academy, Yu and Shisui were best friends in private.

"Well, then..."

"Let's see if you fail and cry like a baby afterward!"

Hearing Shisui's teasing, Yu, who didn't take it too seriously, responded with a playful remark.

Even though they were competing at the Ninja Academy, privately, the two were the best of friends.

"Hmph, if I can't even pass a test like this..."

"Then I'll use my Sharingan to squeeze out some crocodile tears for you!"

Hearing Yu's retort from behind, Shisui's confidence was soaring.

Looking at the three Genin ninjas standing before him, he revealed a self-assured smile.
