Chapter 37: Comprehensive Exam

Eight years ago, shortly after the chaos of the Kyubi.

After hearing the news, Jiraiya hurried back to Konoha, first to prevent strangers from taking advantage of Konoha, and secondly, because he learned that his disciple Minato also left a child named Naruto.

At that time, Jiraiya also wanted to take Naruto with him and raise him personally while traveling.

However, Hiruzen as Hokage took the initiative to assume this responsibility and promised to take care of Naruto.

After all, Jiraiya had many things to take care of, and he feared that he wouldn't be able to provide the necessary care.

After confirming that there were no problems in the village at the moment, Jiraiya left hastily.

After that, Jiraiya searched for information for the village while searching for Orochimaru's traces all over the world.

Occasionally, he would receive letters and photos about Naruto from his master. He saw that Naruto was growing up and felt very relieved.

However, this time, due to the Uchiha clan being destroyed and almost triggering a war in the Ninja world, Jiraiya had to appear and put an end to his peaceful life.

When he saw Naruto for the first time, Jiraiya noticed that Naruto's personal image was well-organized. He was tall and healthy. He felt that things were really going well for him as shown in the photos he received.

Then, under observation, he looked at Naruto's house, which was also clean and tidy.

He had three meals a day and ate a lot. He also got along well with people at school and treated them with kindness and courtesy.

Jiraiya normally doesn't want to think too much about why he's not allowed to take Naruto away, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.

Faced with Naruto's situation, he can easily analyze it. It's his master who doesn't want to let the Jinchuriki of the Kyubi out of the village.

At least until he becomes a full-fledged ninja.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen still refused.

In Jiraiya's opinion, Naruto's mind has not yet matured.

And his bond with the village is not deep enough. He has to at least stay in school until he graduates and becomes a Genin.

Hiruzen obviously doesn't want to let him go.

Unless Jiraiya becomes Hokage.

Obviously, Jiraiya doesn't want to be Hokage, and Hiruzen at this moment doesn't have the true intention of handing over power to his disciple.

...

At that moment, Jiraiya was disappointed with his master.

"I'm leaving, old man, I hope you're still alive the next time I come back."

He sighed emotionally and even gave up on his intention to meet Naruto in the first place.

After all, the boy might want to go with him.

If it were the old Naruto, he would undoubtedly do so.

But the current Naruto is not foolish enough to leave peaceful Konoha at the moment.

And Jiraiya...

He couldn't go against his master's will.

After that, he turned around and left, as if he hadn't been here in the first place.

Kakashi on the side watched this and remained silent.

"Also wanted to introduce himself to Naruto, but by order of the Hokage, Naruto was not allowed to know his identity at the moment.

So Kakashi can only apply to protect Naruto and watch him grow, as a way to express nostalgia for his sensei and his wife.

...

The years passed in the blink of an eye.

Just after Naruto's tenth birthday, his figure appeared in the learning space.

In front of him, there was a thick stack of exams.

At the beginning of the exam, there is a big line: Comprehensive Academic Exam.

This is an exam that Naruto must take after accumulating 100,000 credits in the learning space.

The scope of the exam content is extremely wide.

From history and humanities, through mathematics and physics, passing through philosophy, geography chemistry, biomedicine, social systems, economics and finance, principles of illusion ninjutsu, psychological tests, etc.

It contains all the content that Naruto has learned so far in the learning space, the Konoha Library, and the Ninja School.

According to the requirements, this work with a total of 1000 questions, which is almost equivalent to a thick book in total, is a closed-book exam. Naruto must answer at least 90% of the questions correctly before it can be considered a complete pass.

There is no time limit for the test, but you must not leave it halfway, otherwise it will be considered a failure. The next time you take the exam, it will be replaced with a new exam.

At that time, if you pass the exam, the learning space will give you a mysterious reward and at the same time teach you more esoteric content.

To cope with this exam, Naruto divided two shadow clones and conducted an intensive one-month review.

Then, he has the confidence to come to the learning space and challenge this comprehensive academic exam.

To prevent the test from taking too long and problems arising, Naruto also asked Kurama to help him eat and move his body.

The exam lasted for seven consecutive days and nights.

In the end, it showed that Naruto's one-month intensive review and asking Kurama to help prepare meals and activities were not in vain.

Finally, the results came out.

With a total score of 100,000 points, Naruto finally achieved a good score of 99,888 points.

He was rated as excellent, passed!

And the reward from the learning space arrived as promised, and a well-wrapped cardboard box appeared in front of Naruto.

As if he were playing and killing a super difficult boss, Naruto was very excited to touch the corpse at that moment, he opened the box and discovered that the whole box was filled with books.

Very soon...

He found a book and saw a slightly familiar two-dimensional comic image drawn on its pages.

There are several words written on the cover of the book.

¡Naruto!
