Chapter 29: Theory Exam

The next day, Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Qianshou Feijian stared at the blood sample with his eyes bloodshot.

He really couldn't understand how the bloodlines of the Senju and the Uchiha could be of the same origin?

If the data are correct, it means that in ancient times the Senju and the Uchiha had a blood relationship.

That's rather terrifying when you think about it…

No one would have thought that the two clans, constantly killing each other, could actually share blood ties?

At that moment, Lian Ye's shout pulled his thoughts back.

"Uncle, I'm off to school,"

Then the sound of Lian Ye's footsteps departing was heard.

Hearing that, Qianshou Feijian finally realized that dawn had already broken.

Unwittingly, a night had passed.

He looked at the mountain of books before him, his face full of worry.

"What is the truth, exactly?"

He scoured the records of the Senju Clan through the ages but found no mention of a common origin with the Uchiha.

That means that for thousands of years he is the first person to discover this.

Qianshou Feijian was thrilled; if he could crack this secret, he could further understand the Uchiha and devise an ideal strategy against them.

"The inherently evil Uchiha, I will never give up on them!"

Having said that, he continued leafing through the towering piles of documents.

——————

Ninja World School.

Today is the day of the final exam.

Lian Ye came to school early on purpose to seize time for review.

He accidentally fell asleep last night.

If I don't study this morning, it'll be over!

He certainly doesn't want the Theory Exam to land him at the bottom again…

"Lian Yejun, why are you here so early today?" Nara Motoya asked with a puzzled expression.

"I'm not taking the exam, I'm here early to review," Lian Ye said, pulling out a book to begin revising.

As the saying goes, sharpening one's sword before battle—whether fast or slow, it still shines.

Nara Motoya scratched his head, puzzled, "Is it really necessary to review such basic knowledge?"

Lian Ye: "……"

He always gets the feeling this guy is being pretentious.

At that moment, Yuanfei Rizhan and Zhi Cun Tuan Cang walked into the classroom.

Yuanfei Rizhan, a bit surprised, said, "Yo, Lian Yejun, you're here so early?"

"Just came here to read," Lian Ye replied.

"Heh, what were you doing early?" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang sneered disdainfully.

Usually sleeping in class, but when the exam comes they panic.

What were you doing?

Lian Ye lifted his head irritably, "For the Practical Combat Assessment this afternoon, you'd better pray you don't face me, or I'll beat the crap out of you!"

The Theory Exam alone is already annoying, and this guy still comes to mock and jeer.

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's face turned pale then flushed, his fists clenched in anger.

Lian Ye's strength ranks within the top five of the class; if they really met this afternoon, he'd truly be a handful to beat…

He felt deeply resentful; despite his diligent training, why could he still not keep up with those guys?

Yuanfei Rizhan, Hinata Yuki, Uchiha Jing, Uchiha Lianye, even Uchiha Reifeng could all outclass him!

"Uchiha… damn Uchiha!"

Among the five students stronger than him, three are Uchiha.

In Zhi Cun Tuan Cang's heart, seeds of jealousy toward the Uchiha began to sprout.

Ninjas from the great families have innate talent higher than those from ordinary families.

If his talent were a bit stronger, he'd be the top student.

Lian Ye had barely turned a few pages when Senju Takuma entered the classroom carrying a stack of test papers.

"Final exam starts, everyone be honest!"

"Cheating detected, straight zero!"

The final exam differs from the Chunin Exam; cheating is truly forbidden.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be reviewing at all.

"Hope I can do better this time," Lian Ye prayed silently.

Qianshou Feijian had said yesterday that this exam was very important.

Although he didn't know why, doing better can't hurt.

Lian Ye received the test paper, and upon seeing the questions, was instantly stunned.

"Damn it, what kind of questions are these?!"

There weren't many questions on the paper, but he basically didn't know any of them…

There are five main questions, each worth ten points, for a total of fifty.

1. Basic Questions:

Who were the first leaders of Konoha Village, Kirigakure Village, Iwagakure Village, Cloud Hidden Village, and Sunagakure Village respectively?

Lian Ye: "This question is easy!"

First Hokage Senju Hashirama!

As for the Kage of the other villages, I don't know.

Damn it, who has time to be bored enough to care what the other villages' Kage are called?!

He only knows the Kage from the second generation onward; as for the first generation, he truly doesn't know.

2. History and Culture Questions:

The landmark event that marked the end of the Warring States period is ______; what effect did it have on the Five Great Nations' ninja village system?

Lian Ye: "Ugh, that's a bit difficult…"

He thought briefly, then wrote: "Uchiha Shun was defeated."

As for the rest… I don't know, leave it blank for now.

3. Ninjutsu Theory Question:

What is the core principle of Medical Ninjutsu? When treating fractures and toxin infections, what key steps must be observed?

Lian Ye scratched his head, "I'm not a Medical Ninja either, am I?"

Shouldn't this type of question be answered by a Medical Ninja?

He's not a Medical Ninja…

Fine, leave this question blank as well.

4. Tactical Analysis Question:

When conducting a reconnaissance mission, what counter‑recon measures should be taken? Propose three plans that combine terrain and Ninjutsu.

Lian Ye, eyes brimming with excited tears, "Ha ha, finally there's something I know!"

Erase footprints, conceal the body, mask chakra!

5. Open‑ended Essay Question:

Please explain the symbolic meaning of the Headband and analyze its practical role in diplomacy and mission execution.

Lian Ye: "…"

What kind of questions are these?

Fine, I'm tired, let's leave it at that.

If it's failing, it's failing.

Anyway, it's not the first time.

Sure enough, he's not cut out for studying.

While the other classmates answered seriously, Lian Ye chose to lie on the desk and sleep.

Senju Takuma saw Lian Ye sleeping and raised an eyebrow.

Did that kid finish so quickly?

He silently approached Lian Ye's side, his gaze falling on the test paper.

The first question had five blanks, and only one was answered.

Senju Takuma furrowed his brows and looked at the second question.

When he saw Lian Ye's answer, his eyes went black.

Goddamn, Uchiha Shun was defeated!

The answer to this question should be "the founding of Konoha Village"!

He continued to look at the third question—blank as a page.

Senju Takuma: "..."

For the fourth question, the answer was incomplete; out of ten points, only three could be given.

The fifth question remained blank.

Senju Takuma's eyelids twitched wildly; for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Not even knowing this basic question, it's as if this kid hasn't attended a single class!

Including the two points from the first question and three points from the fourth, Lian Ye's theoretical score is already out.

A staggering 5 points!!!

Senju Takuma fell into self‑doubt.

Lian Ye, that kid… is he human?

Probably already beyond the realm of humans!

Although ninjas value strength above all and don't need high culture.

But it can't be too low either, right?

The Cultural Class test got 5 points…

He's lived so many years, and this is truly the first time!
