Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 29: The Academy Graduation Exam

Next day Hiruzen personally paid a visit to the academy.

"It has been five years since someone applied for early graduation. Previously, Kakashi Hatake graduated from the academy only after four months of his time in the academy. Now, Izuna-kun you want to graduate eight months from your admission to the academy. Do you think you are ready for graduation?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama! I think I am ready for graduation. I have full confidence in clearing the Academy Graduation Exam."

"Good! Having confidence is one thing but overconfidence can lead to failure. Now we will start your graduation exam."

Hiruzen nods as he turns to Principal and speaks,

"Satsuki-san! Is the preparation for the exam ready? If they are ready then let's proceed with the exam."

"Yes, Hokage Sama! Everything is ready. We can proceed with the exam."

Principal Satsuki turn towards Izuna as he continues,

"The exam will be conducted in two stages, the written test and the practical test. For the written test, you will be assessed in the complete syllabus taught throughout the entire academy course. Usually, the passing marks are around fifty-percent of the overall score. But for you, it is set at eighty-percent of the overall score.

The second phase of the graduation exam consists of performing the E-Rank Clone Technique. But in your case, it has been changed to any C-rank technique which you have mastered except the Fireball Technique of the Uchiha Clan. Now your written test will start in the next five minutes and will last for an hour."

A Chunnin instructor leads me to the examination hall. After I am seated, the Chunnin takes out a question paper as he points toward the wall clock.

"Your time starts now and exactly after one hour, the answer sheet will be confiscated irrespective of any matter. Now start!"

I begin to read the question paper. It was easy, way too easy. All its consist of is some elementary mathematics, Ninja world geography, hand-seals, and some question related to Ninja Tactics. I pick up my pen and start to write in a flurry. The instructor is surprised to see my speed.

Meanwhile, In a nearby room,

Hiruzen takes out his crystal ball and starts to infuse chakra in it as he sways his hands over the ball. The crystal ball lights up and the scene of Izuna writing his test paper appears on the crystal ball.

I sense a gaze over me. But I ignore it without even flinching.

'I guess that pervert is spying on me again.'

Hiruzen checks the answer sheet of Izuna and is surprised to see one-third of the answer-sheet filled within just five minutes.

"The kid had completed the hardest part of the examination in just five minutes. Unbelievable!"

Hiruzen stares at Izuna with wide-eyes as he can't believe the kid solved so many difficult mathematics problems in a few minutes.

After completing the Mathematics part, I move on to geography problems. There is a map of the shinobi world and some important places names were written on the paper. I have to mark all of the places on the map accurately. I check the names of the places once again as I start to ponder about these places.

I have read many geography books with many important landmarks in Uchiha Library. I start to mark all of the places slowly as I take my time to recall and mark them. After ten minutes I proceed to the next section with hand signs and Ninja tactics. I slowly wrote the answers in the next fifteen minutes.

I stand up from my place as I call the Chunnin instructor. The chunnin instructor frowns as he questions,

"What's the matter? Do you need a bathroom break or something?"

"I have completed the test paper and I want to submit it."

"You what?" the chunnin is perplexed as he looks at the Wall clock.

"Only half an hour of the time has passed. Are you sure, you have completed the test paper? You still have another half hour to write the paper."

"No! that would be too long. I have already finished answering all the questions. There is no point in stalling for more time."

Izuna replies as he hands over the answer sheet to Chunnin. The chunnin takes the answer sheet with a stunned expression as he points in the direction of Training Ground.

"After you exit this hall, turn left and walk forward leaving two rooms in between, the third hall is the training hall where your next exam will be conducted."

I start to whistle as I slowly walk toward the training hall. The chunnin looks at my departing back as he mutters,

"Even though, this Uchiha kids is so arrogant. But damn! he looks cool."

The chunnin admits that Izuna looks cool. He just flips the answer sheet to check what that Uchiha kid has done. The Chunnin is stunned to see the answer sheet as he frantically skims through the answer sheet,

"Correct!... this is also correct this is correct too. Damn! What a monster?"

All of the answers in the sheet are correct. The Chunnin picks up the sheet as he starts to run toward Hokage's room. Izuna reaches the training hall as he is welcomed by a Chunnin.

"Are you Izuna Uchiha? The kid who wants to take the practical exam."

I nod my head to him as I reply, "Yes, I am Izuna Uchiha."

"Come inside the training hall, the next phase of the exam wills starts now."

I stand in front of the Chunnin as he continues,

"For this phase, you need to perform a C-rank jutsu to clear the exam. Tell us when you are ready."

Without speaking anything I immediately make some hand signs,

"Shadow Clone Jutsu"

A clone with similar in appearance to me appears in front of the examiner. The chunnin jaw-drops at this development as he stares at me with wide-eyes.

"Have I passed?"

There is no response from the Chunnin. I put some emphasis on my words as I shout,

"HAVE I PASSED?"

"Yesyes, you have passedyou have passed the exam. The goal was to perform a C-rank jutsu but you performed the B-rank Shadow Clone Jutsu. So, you have passed the exam. Now go to Hokage-sama office to get your Academy Graduation Certificate together with your forehead protector."

I nod to him as I start to walk toward the Hokage's office. The Hokage office is right beside the academy and it didn't take me too long to arrive at Hokage's office.

I knocked at the Hokage's Office door and waited for the response.

"Come in."

An old grumpy voice came from inside as I turned the knob and entered inside.

"Name: Izuna Uchiha

Age: 5 years and 10 month

Congratulations!, you have passed your Academy Graduation exam. You are a Ninja now."

Hiruzen closes the document and hands over a brand new leaf forehead protector with the blue cloth to me.

"This is your Forehead protector, a symbol of Will of Fire and prestige of Konoha. Handle it carefully and don't lose it. Now go to the room beside this room for a photo for your Graduation Certificate and Ninja Id. You will be assigned to a team tomorrow. The specific details could be found on the notice board. Now good luck towards your Ninja Journey."

"Thank you, Grandpa Hokage"

I smile at Hiruzen as I walk out of the Office. After the photo session was over. I take out my ninja certificate and decides to wait for Shisui to tease him with my Ninja certificate. My Ninja Registration number is '011223'.

After waiting for a while, the entrance of the academy bustled with kids running from the academy as the classes were over. Shisui walks out of the academy as he moves towards over usual meeting place. He notices me and starts to walk towards me, but his footsteps stop as he stares at my forehead or to be precise at my forehead protector. He points at me as he stutters,

"Niinii-san! What is this?"

"Oh! It is nothing but a fancy headwear. I just cleared the academy Graduation exam and now I am a true ninja."

I reply with a straight face as a small noticeable grin appears on my face. Shisui's eyes watered as he starts to hit me with his tiny fists.

"Uwah! You are a cheater nii-san. You promised me that both of us will become a ninja at the same time. Butbut you broke your promise and graduated early. This is not fairUwah!"

"Therethere!" I gently rubbed Shisui's forehead as I start to console him.

"Don't worry Shisui, work hard and you will be able to graduate early too. Now Aren't I amazingI am amazing right, Shisui Haha"

Shisui tears up again and he almost burst up.

"Shisui let's go to your favorite restaurant today. I am sure father and mother will throw a big party tonight."

And as I expected both mother and father were very happy to see me pass the exam and become a Ninja. Both of them threw a large party at Akimichi's restaurant as I like their meat dishes.
