Chapter 011: Shadow Clone Jutsu & Graduation

Shadow Clone Jutsu, this jutsu was not difficult to learn. With Asahi's superior chakra control, it only took him a few hours to master this jutsu. 

Because Shadow Clone Jutsu would equally divide the chakra of the main body, many ninjas would not use this ninjutsu in the battle, it was used more as an inquirer. But then again, one could create a shadow clone of an entity, and if it cooperates well with the main body, you could use it on a lot of tactics. 

The reason why Asahi so eagerly requested to learn Shadow Clone Jutsu was because he thought of a tactic, a tactic that even an Elite Jonin like Zabuza did not see through. 

In the remaining seven days, in addition to often tarining with Yamamoto, Asahi spent his free time practicing the tactic to ensure that on the day of the exam, it could be used without a showing a weak spot to defeat the opponent.

…

The weather was clear, the sky was cloudless, and the gentle sunlight shone on the bodies of people on the street warmly, making people feel very comfortable. 

After arranging his ninja tools, Asahi left home and walked towards the academy. 

Compared to seven days ago, Asahi strength had now gone through a great improvement. It's not just about jutsus' progress, it's also about experience. 

In these seven days, Yamamoto and Asahi had sparred several times. Yamamoto didn't go easy at all, once he caught his weak spot, he would knock Asahi fiercely to the ground.

But it's also for this reason that Asahi could grow so fast. 

The examination room was a relatively empty, and there was nothing to make of use inside. Few people came to watch Asahi's exam. In addition to Yamamoto and several teachers, there were two ninjas that Asahi couldn't recognize, but it seemed that one of them was a Jonin. 

There were often many accidents that could occur even in a sparring match, in which case the rich experience of a Jonin could often prevent tragedies from happening. 

His opponent was a guy named Oda. He seemed to be ten-twelve years old. Listening to Yamamoto, all aspects of this guy were just average and he was a good prospect. In a few years, he should become a chunin.

However, from Asahi's perspective, this guy was just a mediocre and would probably not have much development in the future.

"Okay, it's almost time to start." The Jonin seemed a little impatient. Seeing that Asahi was ready, he announced the start of the exam. 

"Exam begins! Now please make the Seal of Confrontation!" Shouted Yamamoto. 

"Looking forward to your guidance." Asahi said while making the hand seal. 

Oda nodded with a relaxed expression and signaled that Asahi could start. 

Without any hesitation, Asahi's left and right hands each rushed to a kunai each, and likewise Oda also greeted his attack with a kunai. 

Battles between genin were as simple as that, especially since both sides were commoner ninjas and don't really have a way to get advance jutsus. The battle between the two sides was more often about just Three Basic Jutsu and taijutsu. 

Battles of all kinds and sorts like the Chunin Exams in the anime were impossible to see on a fight between commoner ninjas. 

The two people were engrossed in the battle, and their kunai constantly released sparks during the confrontation. 

Asahi threw the kunai in his left hand in a backhand manner. 

With a wave of his hand, Oda easily caught the kunai thrown by Asahi, but when Oda saw a smoke bomb tied behind the kunai, he could not help but inwardly shout, 'Not good!'

*Bang* 

The smoke bomb exploded and Oda's sight was immediately obscured by the smoke, but Oda was also a very experienced ninja, he knew that if he stood still in the smoke at this moment, he would be an easy target for Asahi's shuriken, but if he ran out of smoke range, he would also likely be instantly attacked by Asahi. 

So Oda shot a few shuriken in Asahi's last known direction by relying on his memory and moved towards the outward direction of the smoke range. 

'Sure enough.'

Just after Oda ran out of the smoke, he saw three kunai shooting at him at an impressive speed. 

"How could I be so simply defeated?!" Oda loudly roared, rolled around and avoided the kunai attack just like that. 

But at the same time, the chunin teacher and the Jonin who watched the game side by side were shaking their heads. After all, what Asahi just did, they both saw it. 

Just after Oda escaped the difficult situation, Asahi took out six shuriken again and moved towards Oda. 

At the same time, a kunai who just fell behind Oda, exploded with a *bang* 

It turned into Asahi, and quickly made hand seals with both hands. 

[Earth Style ∙ Rock Pillar Spears] 

'Time to end it!' 

With Asahi silently finishing his hand seals, an unprepared Oda immediately found that the land under his feet seemed to shake slightly. 

Just as Oda was about to be pierced by the earth thorns, the Jonin watching for a long time came to Oda's side and then brought Oda out of the attack range of the earthen thorns. 

Asahi's Rock Pillar Spears was going to become a One Hit Kill. 

To be honest, this tactic of his was a complete copy of Naruto's method against Zabuza. Asahi alone might not be able to come up with such a witty tactic. 

"Now I announce that Senmei Asahi is officially one of Konoha's Genin." After saying that, the Jonin handed over a brand new Konoha headband to Asahi.

The graduation ceremony had officially been completed. 

It was a very simple graduation ceremony. 

After all, Asahi was not Kakashi. Even if he had defeated Kakashi, he couldn't compare with Konoha's White Fang's son in status. That name was too loud. Even more since Kakashi passed the graduation exam at the age of five. 

If he remembers correctly, no one was able to break this record even when the anime plot started. 

"Many thanks!" Asahi said to the Jonin, but the tone of the speech was so plain that it made people feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the Jonin didn't pay much attention to it, but instead exclaimed, "You took a very good approach, and even easily defeated a rich-experienced genin." 

"Many thanks for your praise." Asahi said.

At the same time, Asahi also glanced at his opponent again, but at this time the other party's face was very ugly. If nothing else happens, as long today's things were passed on around the ninja circle, this guy would probably have a hard time raising his head in the future. 

However, this was also something that he had no control over. Since a battle had occurred, it must end with one side winning and one side losing. If today Asahi had been the one defeated, his own future would not be much better, at least the one tag of being too arrogant could not be taken off of his name. 

After saying two sentences to that Jonin, Yamamoto took Asahi to the barbecue shop, and expressed that he would like to treat Asahi to celebrate his excellent performance, and congratulate Asahi as a new Konoha Shinobi. 

One has to say that although there were many struggles and darkness in the village, the ninjas in the village loved this village very much. This could be seen from Yamamoto's usual attitude. 

So although Asahi didn't had a lot of sense of belonging to Konoha, he also liked to show his love for his village as much as possible. 

In a place like the barbecue shop, Asahi, who only lived off the war's orphan relief funds, couldn't normally come. It's rare for Yamamoto to be so generous, so Asahi ruthlessly slaughtered Yamamoto's wallet that night. 

Although Yamamoto fell into the distress looking at his wallet, but this was the last moment when he could interact with Asahi as his teacher, he already fulfilled his role as a teacher and explained Asahi a lot of things that he should pay attention to in the future. 

After leaving the barbecue shop, he asked Asahi to get the ninja badge book tomorrow, and then wait for the notification from his team at home.
