Genius

Birth of the God Tree, Kaguya's Dimensions, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, Yomotsu Hirasaka, All-Killing Ash Bones, Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball, and so on, are all abilities of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Each one of these is immensely powerful, and even mastering one or two could make someone invincible.

Tenseigan is also terrifying, controlling puppets and having abilities similar to Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in that manipulate gravity, capable of splitting the moon in half with the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Just thinking about these skills makes one drool.

However, Kaguya currently cannot use any of these. Despite having the same bloodline as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and these techniques imprinted in her mind like instincts, the problem is that her chakra is completely insufficient. With only a genin-level chakra capacity, even using the Rabbit Hair Needle consumes nearly half of her chakra, let alone those ultimate moves.

Thus, chakra refinement has become Kaguya's top priority in her daily training.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of the new term at the ninja academy. As a member of the Hyuga clan, she went to school with the little girl Hinata.

This was already Kaguya's sixth year at the ninja academy, and after this semester, they would graduate, officially becoming genin.

"Sister, are you ready?"

"Ready, ready." Kaguya hurriedly put on her socks and slipped into her shoes, then walked out.

"Let's go."

The morning sun was bright and gentle, with white clouds dotting the blue sky. A gentle breeze blew, and cherry blossoms drifted in the wind.

When Kaguya and Hinata arrived, many students and parents were already present. Kaguya quickly recognized several distinctive figures, such as the chubby Choji, Shino covered in a coat, and Kiba with his little dog.

Not far away, Naruto was waving at her.

"Hi, Kaguya-chan."

Kaguya twitched her mouth; this guy really was everywhere. She pretended not to see him and turned her head away. Ignoring someone like Naruto was the best approach.

"So cute."

"Yes, I want to pinch her cheeks."

"I wonder whose child she is."

"She must be from the Hyuga clan; you can tell by her eyes."

"When did the Hyuga clan have such a beautiful little girl?"

As soon as Kaguya and Hinata arrived, countless gazes focused on them, especially many little boys who secretly glanced at her. When she turned her head, they quickly averted their eyes and blushed.

The aunts and uncles were less restrained, and if the occasion had been different, they might have swarmed around her.

Kaguya's charm attracted people of all ages and genders.

However, Kaguya felt being stared at was a torment, as if she were an animal in a zoo.

Fortunately, the Third Hokage appeared in time, redirecting everyone's attention.

"Everyone, congratulations on starting school," the Third Hokage smiled from the podium. "I hope you will work hard to become ninjas. This is the last semester of this academic year, and the graduation exam will be held at the end of this semester. Those who pass the graduation exam will officially graduate from the ninja academy."

Kaguya listened listlessly. She had heard such speeches countless times in her original world, to the point where her head was about to explode. If possible, she would rather sleep than listen to these cliché talks.

The Third Hokage finally finished his speech, which had droned on for half an hour. It was baffling how he could have so much to say—maybe old age made people more talkative.

After he finished, the teacher led them into the classroom and began speaking again.

"I believe some of you are already quite proficient in ninjutsu," the teacher said from the podium. "However, at the ninja academy, we also emphasize teamwork and group actions during missions. Basics are crucial, so learn them earnestly. After the graduation exam, you will become genin and form a team to complete missions, so cooperation is very important."

Kaguya impatiently toyed with her long hair. Was this what the ninja academy was like? It was vastly different from what she had imagined; it felt more like an elementary school. The teacher covered basic material she had long mastered, and the ninjutsu taught were childishly simple, easily learned at a glance.

Fortunately, it wouldn't be long before she graduated.

The ninja academy's curriculum included theory, training, insights, history, and practice.

The first few days focused mainly on theory, which, though somewhat dull, allowed Kaguya to learn things not detailed in the original manga. After all, the manga only skimmed the surface and didn't fully explain everything.

In the following days, the emphasis shifted to physical training and practical skills, such as chakra extraction and practicing with ninja tools like kunai and shuriken.

"Today, we will practice with shuriken," Iruka-sensei said, clapping his hands on the podium. "Everyone, head to the target area on the field."

Kaguya followed her classmates to the field.

The ninja academy's field wasn't large, but it was more than adequate for young children.

Everyone lined up in front of the targets and began throwing shuriken.

Compared to when they first enrolled and had poor aim, after six years of training, almost everyone could hit the target with their shuriken and kunai. Those who were especially accurate typically came from renowned families, like Sasuke, Neji, and Shikamaru.

As for Naruto, his situation was quite unfortunate. Despite numerous attempts, only half of his shuriken hit the target, and one even nearly hit Iruka-sensei, earning him a stern scolding.

"Kaguya, it's your turn."

Kaguya snapped back to reality, picked up four kunai, and walked to the target. She casually threw them.

"Ding ding ding."

All four kunai hit the bullseye.

"Wow."

"Amazing."

"So cool."

Kaguya didn't even need to look to know the result. It wasn't that she used her Byakugan, but rather her confidence in her own skills.

Perhaps due to her Kaguya Ōtsutsuki bloodline, her learning ability was exceptional, with a photographic memory and excellent physical coordination. Techniques that usually required extensive practice were quickly mastered by her and applied with ease.

"Very good, well done," Iruka-sensei said, clapping his hands. He then turned to the students and said, "Everyone should strive to learn from Kaguya, understood?"

"Yes," the students answered in unison.

"This Kaguya is really strong," said a boy with tied-up hair.

"Yeah, Shikamaru," said the chubby Choji, stuffing a handful of chips into his mouth.

"What's the big deal? She's just a little better," Ino said with a hum, her hair covering half her face.
