Chapter 4 Admission

The students who misunderstood Masumi's performance no longer considered him a competitor.

Several people who discovered the flaw in the illusion gathered to discuss and compare who could see through the illusion first. Masumi was speechless when he realized he had been overthinking it.

But it doesn't matter, this must be a good thing, perhaps it can compensate for the lack of physical preparation.

Masumi kept this idea in mind and focused on the last round. There was a row of helmets with some silk threads attached to them. Although Masumi had already judged that this was related to testing mental power, he didn't know how to test it.

At this moment, several teachers came and selected a group of students from Masumi and others to prepare for the final round of evaluation.

The students who were not selected were directly informed that there was no need to participate in the final evaluation phase.

Masumi was the first to be called by the teacher and entered the next round.

Soon Masumi discovered that the students selected along with him were all students who had performed well in the previous rounds, and the students who were affected by illusions in the third round were also among them. Others expressed disbelief that Masumi could be selected. Several of them thought, "Is he hiding his strength? And the teachers discovered it?"

Soon, under the envious eyes of others, Masumi and more than a dozen people chose a helmet and put it on their heads. They tried their best to feel and judge what was on the other side of the silk thread according to the method described by the teacher.

Masumi closed his eyes and focused on the helmet. Unlike the vague feeling when he was under the illusion before, this time he clearly felt the change.

At the same time, there was a warm current connecting Masumi and the helmet. Could this feeling be chakra? Is someone using chakra to perform sensory ninjutsu?

Masumi discovered that these chakras seemed to guide him, allowing his spirit to extend along the threads.

Masumi followed the direction of the chakra and slowly and carefully explored his consciousness. It was very smooth and wonderful.

It felt like he was in another place. It was a closed room. There were four ninjas taking care of a group of animals, including larger birds and small rats.

When Masumi focused on several ninjas, they looked around in surprise for a while, and then opened and closed their mouths as if they were communicating something.

"Was I discovered?" thought Masumi.

However, since it was an exam anyway, Masumi was not worried about his own safety. He just turned his attention and carefully counted the number of animals in the room and paid attention to the placement of items before leaving.

Because at this exact moment, Masumi began to feel a bit mentally exhausted.

After recovering his mental power, Masumi felt a strong discomfort, his body trembled and he almost fell. It took a while until he came to himself and then waited for the teacher's question.

After a while, everyone finished the tests.

This time, the teacher specifically asked Masumi to give the last answer and first asked the other students what they felt.

These students gave a variety of answers. Some felt they saw people, some felt they saw animals, some said their eyes were completely white with only a few shadows, and some simply answered that they felt absolutely nothing.

Finally, it was Masumi's turn. While the teachers were stunned, Masumi clearly listed everything inside and, after finishing, carefully explained the location of these things.

After hearing Masumi's description, other students thought it was just sensationalism, but the attentive students immediately noticed the strangeness of the teachers.

Suddenly, they felt a very absurd feeling in their hearts. Could he really perceive this so clearly? It's not like he had the answer beforehand.

To be honest, the confidentiality of this evaluation is not high. If you have the right connections, it's not impossible to get detailed information.

It's just not necessary. No matter how much of a genius you pretend to be at this moment, it will be exposed soon after you enter the school.

Therefore, no one would care about this aspect. Besides, Masumi was of simple origin. It can be said that he had no background and it was impossible for him to cheat.

Added to the excellent performance in the third round, the teachers had only one thought in mind: Genius of illusion, genius of perception!

Of course, inevitably another phrase arose, it's a pity, the physical talent is mediocre.

Then, the teacher announced the admission situation of everyone, and Masumi and others dispersed.

...

That night, Masumi lay alone on the empty bed and began to analyze everything that happened today.

First, he successfully entered the ninja school and joined the upper class with his mental strength.

Second, Masumi adjusted his positioning. Before, he only thought he had the mind of an adult and other talents were mediocre.

Later, he thought that perhaps after the fusion of the two souls, his mental power would be twice that of others.

Only now did Masumi understand that it was not simply the fusion of two souls, but the fusion of the soul of an adult and the soul of a child.

Under this general premise, if you allow yourself to compete with another group of children, you will indeed have a huge advantage.

Finally, after clearly identifying his strengths and talents, it was time to adjust his expectations for the future.

The previous expectation was to be as strong as possible, take advantage of every opportunity, use the memories of past lives, avoid as many dangers as possible, and try to survive until the end.

Think about other things after world peace.

But now, my performance today must have caught the attention of the village's high officials. I can negotiate a bit and plan a path to practice leading to the Kage level or even to immortality.

The path to immortality is very long for now, and I have no idea. The only way is the Sage Mode, and I don't even know where to practice it.

But the path to the Kage level can still be planned.

The most famous technique in Iwa Ninja Village is, of course, Dust Release.

What Iwa Ninja Village lacks the most is talent. During the Fourth War, all the Kage in various countries were from the fourth or fifth generation, but only Iwa Ninja Village still had a third-generation Kage.

To say the least, Onoki is stubborn, but to say the worst, he has no successor. So, as long as he performs well, the Fourth Tsuchikage is still a possibility.

The premise is that Deidara cannot be prevented from defecting.

As long as he builds a reputation as a genius and shows his talent for practicing Dust Release, I believe Onoki will not turn a blind eye.

By the way, Dust Release is a bloodline successor that combines three attributes. It seems to be fire, wind, and earth. This is very important and needs to be confirmed later.

It seems that the nature changes of these three chakras should be prepared in advance.

Dust Release Ninjutsu is somewhat similar to sealing techniques. Well, you should also pay attention to sealing techniques.

The fusion of chakras is a difficult point, and you should exercise chakra control from the beginning.

...

That night, Masumi fell asleep with endless expectations and spent his time in various wonderful dreams.

The next morning, the energetic Masumi finished breakfast as quickly as possible and went straight to the ninja school without stopping.

In the world of Naruto, I, Masumi, participate!

...

"Hello everyone, I am your teacher. My name is Ishikawa. You can call me Ishikawa-sensei."

Masumi sat in the middle of the classroom, listening to the Chuunin teacher who had just stepped onto the podium to introduce himself.

"I like taking baths in hot springs, I hate war, and my dream is to protect peace. Now, please introduce yourselves." Teacher Ishikawa started the first class.

After hearing Mr. Ishikawa's self-introduction, Masumi thought to himself: "Sure enough, as a teacher at the Ninja School, the combat level might not be great, but the ideological awareness must be high."

There were many ninja children among them. Although they had not learned the skill of sensing, by the speed demonstrated by several of them when they entered the classroom in the morning, Masumi judged that at least half of them had already refined chakra early.

"There are so many geniuses, but it's okay, no matter how amazing you are, you won't be sliced and studied." While Masumi was still sighing about the talent of his classmates, everyone had already started introducing themselves.

...

The first person went on stage: "My name is Kibuki. I like eating barbecue and hate waiting for barbecue. My dream is to become a Tsuchikage."

"Tsuchikage." After the first person left, the second person ran to the stage as quickly as he could.

While speaking, he looked at Kibuki as if his position as Tsuchikage had been stolen.

However, Masumi felt that he was overthinking it. In such a high-class, at least half of the people dreaming of becoming Tsuchikage wouldn't be surprising.

Sure enough, the next classmate was more direct. Without waiting, he shouted to hurry up and announced that he had reserved the position of Tsuchikage: "How dare you two bastards steal my position as Tsuchikage?"

Then the scene became very chaotic. Fortunately, Mr. Ishikawa seemed to have expected this situation. A teleportation technique appeared among the three, preventing a life-or-death duel.

Of course, there are exceptions, like the person in the first row of Masumi: "My name is Eri. I like planting flowers. My dream is to plant countless flowers and plants in the Land of Earth, so everyone can smell the fragrance of flowers as soon as they go out."

This is a small person. It is rare for a loli to develop such a hobby in an arid place like Iwa Ninja Village. But one thing is certain, this loli must be from a big family; otherwise, she wouldn't have such unrealistic dreams.

"My name is Shinohara. I like explosions. My dream is to become the captain of the demolition team and lead the demolition team to defeat Konoha."

This shocked everyone, and Masumi almost thought he had met Deidara.

Calculating his age, Deidara hadn't even been born at this time. However, the thought patterns of the two are equally different, and both like explosions. It's hard to say they aren't related by blood.

However, Masumi didn't understand this kind of person. If he wanted to be a leader, shouldn't his goal be the Tsuchikage? Leading everyone to defeat Konoha is what the Tsuchikage should do.

Soon it was Masumi's turn, and he had already prepared some introductions.

Masumi stepped onto the podium, looked around the entire class, and said: "My name is Masumi. My goal is to become an excellent ninja and be able to protect my comrades and the village on the battlefield in the future." He spoke from the heart, especially being a child, Masumi had no backing, so being politically correct is a must.

Protecting comrades and protecting the village is politically correct, and it is also a reasonable value that can be formed from one's own life experience.

Only when values are consistent with the village can the village feel at ease in cultivating you and consider giving more resources.

At the same time, dreams are about protection, which is consistent with Ishikawa-sensei's peace ideals.

After all, Mr. Ishikawa is the ninja with whom he will likely have contact for a long time in the future. If he wants to reap the benefits, he must first establish the foundation.
