Chapter 259: Graduation Exam

"Ninja School Teacher, I Can Become Strong by Teaching" Main Story Volume 176 Graduation Exam Monday, Early Morning.

Obito's biological clock made him wake up automatically. After washing up, he ate the breakfast his grandmother had prepared and got ready to head to the Ninja Academy.

Today was the final exam day at the Ninja Academy, but for Obito, this exam was different from any previous one because it was the graduation exam. Passing would mean receiving a forehead protector on the spot, signifying graduation from the Ninja Academy.

"Obito, are you up? Today is the graduation exam, you know?"

Just as Obito was about to leave, Rin Nohara's voice reached his ears, so Obito quickly changed his shoes while saying:

"How could I possibly sleep in today? I've already eaten breakfast."

Obito quickly put on his shoes and walked out. The moment he stepped out, he saw Rin Nohara smiling and waving at him.

"I was worried you might be late like on the first day of school, so I came specially to call you. Looks like I underestimated you, Obito." Rin said with a smile.

If Obito were late for the graduation exam, Rin didn't know what the consequences would be, but she felt they wouldn't be good. So she got up early, finished washing up and eating, then rushed to Obito's house to call him.

"I'm the man who will end wars and become Hokage. I won't keep making the same mistake." Obito said confidently, puffing out his chest and holding his head high.

Even if he encountered someone needing help today, Obito had a way not to be late. He could use the Shadow Clone Technique to have a shadow clone help the elderly while he went to the school for the exam.

"So in the future, Obito won't need my help anymore?" Rin Nohara asked with a light laugh, hands behind her back, leaning forward slightly, looking into Obito's eyes.

"This... this..." Obito was at a loss for words. Saying he needed help would be slapping his own face, but how could he possibly say he didn't need Rin's help?

"That's not the same thing. Even the Hokage needs the help of comrades. Just like Hashirama Senju became Hokage because everyone supported him, of course I need your help, Rin." Obito's mind raced, and he suddenly thought of an example Muyue had mentioned, so he quickly said.

At this moment, he was glad that he had listened carefully to Muyue's lecture that time. Although there were many things he didn't understand, he had stored them in his memory.

"Then let's hurry to school." Rin Nohara watched Obito's reaction, covered her mouth and laughed for a while, then spoke.

Actually, she was just joking. Of course she knew Obito would never say he didn't need her help.

"Yeah, if we go early, we can handle any situations on the way." Obito saw the smile on Rin's face and felt relieved, then nodded firmly.

"I wonder what this year's graduation exam topic will be."

On the way, Obito looked for topics to chat with Rin. Opportunities for the two of them to stroll along the streets like this were rare.

"No matter which jutsu it is, you'll definitely have no problem, Obito." Rin was very confident in Obito's ninjutsu level.

For the exam, Muyue had specifically reviewed the basic ninjutsu of the students who needed to take the exam. Even Might Guy could use basic ninjutsu quite well, and Obito was even more proficient.

"Haha, after all, these basic ninjutsu are much simpler compared to the Fire Style that Teacher Muyue taught." Obito couldn't help showing a smug smile as he spoke.

The graduation exam had no theory component; it only tested basic ninjutsu, and any one of the taught basic ninjutsu. Obito believed that no matter what was tested, he could easily get a perfect score.

"If only every exam had no theory." Obito couldn't help sighing.

Theory was practically his lifelong enemy. His title of 'dead last' was given because his theory was too poor; in reality, his practical skills were not at the bottom.

Because of these damn theory grades, he had done who knows how many problems, yet he still got mocked by Kakashi for being bad at theory.

"When I become Hokage, I'll definitely abolish theory exams!" Obito thought to himself.

But he quickly thought of something else: when he became Hokage, surely no one would test his theory knowledge, and the suffering he had endured at school would never be understood by anyone else.

"Forget it, this exam exists for a reason. I'll just let it be." Obito felt it wasn't good to arbitrarily deprive students of the theory exam.

Not only should it not be cancelled, but he should even make more exam papers to hand out as homework to improve the students' overall theory level.

"Obito, you can't stop studying after graduation. Didn't Kakashi say that the Chunin Exam also has a theory test?" Rin reminded upon hearing Obito's words.

The name he didn't want to hear and the exam he didn't want to hear about came into his mind together, and Obito instantly felt his head throbbing.

"Let's worry about the future later. First, pass the graduation exam!" Obito scratched his hair and said helplessly.

After thinking it over, he decided to leave future troubles to the future. Hang in there, future him!

"Good morning, Senior Obito, Senior Rin."

At that moment, a lively and cute female voice came from behind the two, accompanied by two male voices.

Obito turned around and saw it was a few students from Muyue's class, so he responded.

"Senior Obito, why are you looking so glum so early in the morning? Could even a strong person like you have worries?" Anko asked curiously.

After the last results were announced, the quality of missions by Obito and Might Guy shocked the entire Ninja Academy. This time, their reputation had thoroughly spread to every grade, and they became the two strongest in the academy.

"Haha, nothing major, just thought of something unpleasant." Obito chuckled twice and brushed it off.

He didn't want the juniors who admired him to know that he was afraid of the theory exam.

"Maybe this is the loneliness of the strong. Senior Obito has already defeated everyone at the Ninja Academy and has no rival." Kotetsu put on a melancholy expression, thinking Obito was lonely at the top.

"Kotetsu, you've been reading too much lately. I think Senior Obito is just reluctant to leave his friends and classmates upon graduation," Izumo teased.

"I have been reading quite a lot recently. I feel like I'm going to fail this exam," Kotetsu nodded and said with a regretful look.

"Now that you mention it, I've been playing games every day and haven't reviewed. I feel like I'll do much worse than last time. I can't do this next time," Izumo also showed a regretful expression.

"Really? I studied for three days. So maybe I'll score higher than you this time?" Anko was a little happy, but because of her two good friends' past behavior, there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes.

No matter how innocent and thick-skinned she was, after being tricked so many times, she should be on guard.

"That probably won't happen. No matter how badly I do, I can't be lower than you, Anko," Kotetsu shook his head and said.

He felt that no matter how low he scored, he couldn't go below ninety-five, and Anko had never even reached ninety.

"Indeed, to score worse than Anko, one would probably have to go two months without studying. In a way, that's also quite difficult," Izumo showed an agreeing expression.

"Ahh, I knew you two bastards were up to no good. Have you had breakfast? If not, take my fist!" Unable to hold back, Anko chased the two of them, hitting them.

Kotetsu and Izumo quickly fled to the school. Once inside the exam hall, Anko didn't dare to act out.

"That's nice, this kind of friendship." Rin watched the three of them chasing each other and said with a smile.

Kotetsu and Izumo were harsh with their words, and Anko was quick with her fists, but Rin could tell they had a good relationship. Anko wasn't really putting force into her hits, and Kotetsu and Izumo were mostly joking.

"I feel like I see a reflection of you and Kakashi in them," Rin covered her mouth and laughed.

Although their behavior was a bit different, they were also not saying what they meant and liked to mess with each other.

"No way," Obito denied this.

Just as they were about to reach the Ninja Academy, they also ran into Might Guy, who was jogging forward.

"Morning half-hour warm-up is done! Next, I'll give my all for the exam!" Might Guy showed his shiny white teeth, gave himself a thumbs-up, and laughed heartily.

"Mm, good luck." Rin clenched her fist to cheer for Might Guy.

Might Guy was the worst at ninjutsu among Muyue's disciples. His efficiency in learning ninjutsu was too low. This kind of ninjutsu talent was really awkward. However, having a little was better than none, because if he truly had no talent at all, he wouldn't be able to learn Armament Haki. For Might Guy, just entering the gate of Armament Haki was a gain.

"Guy, good luck." Obito also smiled and cheered for Might Guy. The graduation exam had no practical combat, so this time they wouldn't be opponents.

"Mm, let's all pass the exam with passionate youth!" Might Guy smiled and nodded, also giving a thumbs-up to Obito and Rin.

Then the three of them walked into the classroom together.

They arrived fairly early. There was still some time before the graduation exam started, and not all the students were in the classroom yet.

As soon as the three entered the classroom, they instantly attracted a lot of attention. Of course, the main focus was on Obito and Might Guy.

Back then, Might Guy and Obito had just glanced at the results and left, but they left many legends in the Ninja Academy.

For example, the exchange between Obito, Kakashi, and Might Guy revealed the fact that Obito and Might Guy had defeated Kakashi in actual combat.

Also, Obito's two mysterious A-rank missions. A chunin teacher personally said he had never done any A-rank missions. Everyone was curious about how Obito's team completed such high-difficulty missions, considering that according to Obito, they encountered a jonin during the mission.

But after all, it was the graduation exam, which was about becoming a ninja, so the students were relatively serious. Only a few people close to Obito took the opportunity to ask a question. There was no situation where students gathered around to discuss.

When the exam time came, the homeroom teacher of Class 4-2, Iketani Isamu, walked into the classroom with another teacher from Class 4.

For the graduation assessment, it was usually the classroom teachers who proctored, and the homeroom teacher was required to participate.

"Everyone quiet down. The graduation exam officially begins. Students whose names are called will follow us to the next classroom to take the exam."

"This year's topic is the Clone Technique!" Iketani Isamu announced the subject of this year's graduation exam.
