Haryu arrived at the number 5 testing area. This was where Haryu excelled, the ninjutsu area.
The requirements for this exam were simple, it was just a matter of releasing your ninjutsu without much thought. Each attribute was limited to one jutsu, including attributeless jutsu, and the goal was to shatter a rock ten meters away.
Hitting the rock with ninjutsu +10 points, shattering it +20 points. It was that simple, but it stumped many students. The best age to learn ninjutsu was 8 years old, which was about two years after entering the academy. Most of the students now didn't have any decent jutsu, and many in the first two groups got zero points.
"Haryu, the instructor said to rest well first. I'll be back soon!" Choji said, then went to line up. Haryu understood his kindness and followed him to line up.
He saw a inconspicuous boy wearing sunglasses and a high collar standing at the front of the line. He had scored 3 points in the attack test and had directly given up on the defense test. Now he was standing first? This made many of the students behind him confused. At first glance, this was a child with no outstanding abilities, why was he here to make a fool of himself?
But the boy didn't care about the ridicule of others, he pulled his collar up a little higher and directly started releasing ninjutsu. Tiny insects crawled out of his body, slowly taking shape outside. This was a bug user!
Parasite Technique: Insect Jade!
A large group of parasitic insects, under the boy's control, slowly flew towards the rock. As soon as the parasitic insects attached to the rock, the rock shattered silently. No one could see how it happened, but the fact remained.
"Aburame Shino, 20 points." The instructor announced the boy's score.
"So he's from the Aburame clan, not bad, giving up before was quite strategic. This kid is intelligent, he can join the special class." Minato highly praised this inconspicuous child. If only his Naruto could be so calm, that would be great.
"Aburame… no wonder he gave up before." Haryu thought thoughtfully, and also guessed his reason for giving up. The Aburame clan's close combat was too weak!
Soon it was Choji's turn, the previous children naturally hadn't been able to release decent jutsu, so they were all very quick.
Choji used the Multi-Size Technique, his arm stretched across the ten meters, easily smashing the rock. Then it was Haryu's turn.
But Haryu was a little worried. This worry wasn't about the number of points, but that his Fire Release wasn't suitable for shattering, and he hadn't learned other Fire Release techniques yet, and the D-rank ones weren't powerful enough. This put him in a difficult position, he stood ten meters away and spaced out for a while.
"Haryu-kun? Please start your performance." The instructor was a little impatient and urged him from the side.
"Oh, right." Haryu snapped out of his daze, but he couldn't think of any solutions. In a trance, he remembered Sasuke's Fire Release.
The memory surfaced in his mind, his hands unconsciously formed hand seals, after three unfamiliar movements, they were complete. He opened his mouth!
Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
Although he only released a small fireball, it accurately hit the rock. And from ten meters away, the rock shattered.
"Whew. A blind cat caught a dead mouse. It actually worked somehow." Haryu breathed a sigh of relief. Since he could get full marks even with the Fire Release he was most worried about, then he didn't have to worry about the rest.
"Alright, 20 points. Next…"
Water Release: Water Stream Whip! Accurate whip! Shattered!
Earth Release: Rock Seal! Violent compression! Shattered!
Lightning Release: Earth Travel! Swift penetration! Shattered!
Wind Release: Blazing Empty Palm! Miniaturized storm! Shattered!
…
"Haryu… you got a perfect score." The instructor was dumbfounded. Even as a Chunin, he only mastered one chakra attribute, and looking at the hand seal formation and speed, it was clearly the result of long-term practice. So young and… this could only mean that he, Haryu, possessed all five chakra attributes!
This was a miracle! The first Kekkei Mōra in Konoha!
"Haryu, you're so amazing, five chakra attributes!" Choji was excited, this was the first time he had seen so many jutsu. Such skillful use also made Choji very envious.
"Let's go, to the speed test." Haryu calmed his heart and called out to Choji, going to the next test.
"Well, Haryu, I'm not going. I'm giving up on the next two tests. I'll just wait for the final one-on-one. Good luck!" This was natural, the Akimichi clan had never produced ninjas with speed and agility, and these two were their weaknesses, they couldn't improve no matter what. If he insisted on going, it would really be difficult for Choji.
So, Haryu went to the number 1 testing area alone. This was purely about speed. A 100-meter speed test, no jutsu or props allowed, purely relying on the body.
If he could use ninjutsu, Haryu wouldn't have to worry. One Blazing Empty Palm would be enough to push him to 100 meters. There was no way, he could only run properly.
Haryu stood on the starting line, there were ten people in total taking the test, nine of them, including Haryu, had their hands behind their backs, their bodies leaning forward, ready to sprint at the sound of the whistle. But the other one was lying on all fours, looking up at the ground in front of him, his limbs spread out and supporting him, his fingertips digging into the ground.
His name was Inuzuka Kiba, he was from the Inuzuka clan, naturally, he was a ninja dog user. He was proficient in all kinds of dog skills, and he could also launch combination techniques with his ninja dog. And his current posture was the posture of a ninja dog user!
The whistle blew!
All ten students immediately ran out, and the difference was obvious at a glance!
The leader was Inuzuka Kiba! His speed was trained over years of working with ninja dogs, how could he possibly lose to these kids who had never left the village! The second was Haryu, his training since the age of three had given him a better physique than others, running alone was naturally no problem.
"Yo, Inuzuka kid. You'll be in the special class too! This kind of speed plus reconnaissance ability. Hey, you could team up with the Aburame kid from before." Minato appreciated talent, this kind of speed was naturally something he valued.
"Yeah, this generation is full of hidden talents. Let's see what other talents there are." The Third Hokage was also happy, seeing these children with their unique skills, he suddenly felt that Konoha's future had hope, and he no longer worried about his legacy, he felt much more relaxed. "This method is really good, let's do this every year, let the students specialize in their areas of expertise earlier, it's much more effective than the original teaching." The Third Hokage added.
Inuzuka Kiba, the first place, ran 100 meters in 9.58 seconds, and 10 seconds was the full score. Haryu followed closely behind, running a time of 10.02 seconds, also getting a high score of 98 points.
"Yo, kid, you're not bad, you're almost as fast as me. My name is Inuzuka Kiba, do you want to acknowledge me as your big brother?" Kiba looked at his defeated opponent, Haryu, with a carefree attitude, and when Haryu heard this, he turned around friendly: "My name is Haryu, nice to meet you."
"Ah, so will you let me be your big brother? I'll protect you!" Obviously, Kiba wasn't satisfied with this answer, he continued to pester Haryu, wanting him to be his little brother.
"No, I'm going to the next test. See you later." Haryu turned his head and left. He naturally had no interest in being someone's little brother, just because he was fast, he wanted to be Haryu's big brother, that was simply unrealistic. Haryu thought Kiba was too childish, so he quickly left him behind.
But…
"My name is Inuzuka Kiba, do you want to be my little brother?"
The final test was agility. The students needed to dodge obstacles and run through a curved path. Reaching the finish line +50 points, a time of less than 20 seconds was a perfect score.
Haryu's condition had basically returned to its peak, he was ready to charge through these obstacles, but he saw a girl already starting the test. Her agile figure, slowly walking through the obstacles flying around. Others might not see anything unusual, but with Haryu's eyesight, he could see the difference immediately. Her eyes were white!
Pure white pupils, bulging veins near her temples, Haryu had heard from the Third Hokage that this was the Hyuga clan, known as the strongest in Konoha, and these unique eyes were the Byakugan, comparable to the Sharingan!
360-degree no blind spots, all-round detection of objects' movements, and direct display of chakra flow, this made the little girl walk on air among the obstacles.
"This person… is she the Hyuga heiress, Hinata-sama?" Kiba appeared again, but this time, he didn't shout about recruiting a little brother anymore. Maybe he had forgotten.
"The reconnaissance team is full now, I almost forgot about the Hyuga clan!" Minato saw the signature Byakugan and was instantly happy. Bug user, ninja dog user, plus Byakugan; combining hearing, smell, and sight, this was the perfect choice for reconnaissance!
Haryu, standing beside him, was amazed by her skillful movements, and at the same time, he envied her graceful dissipation of force, but he was still thinking about his own method. Obviously, he could only rely on his own reflexes to deal with these complex obstacles.
After a few minutes, it was Haryu's turn. At this moment, he still hadn't figured out a strategy, but when he came to it, he could only try to rush in.
Tenryū Style - First Style! Finding a Gap!
He used his taijutsu style again, ready to push aside the obstacles one by one and reach the finish line. But these obstacles were clearly not just a bunch of pushovers, they were layered one after another, timed to attack continuously. There were boulders, flying arrows, gravel, spikes…
Haryu didn't have time to dodge, so he used the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Bang, bang, bang! Three sounds, three shadow clones appeared, surrounding Haryu, facing outwards, and then…
Wind Release: Blazing Empty Palm!
Three miniature storms hit the obstacles, directly knocking away the small projectiles, even the boulders were forcibly stopped by Haryu. He didn't dare to delay, afraid that the next wave of obstacles would come again, then he wouldn't be able to get a perfect score. Haryu directly copied "Naruto Whirlwind," having two shadow clones throw his main body and another shadow clone into the air.
But things weren't that simple! Some of the projectiles were manually operated! The launch points aimed at the sky, predicting Haryu's position, and fired!
Another wave of projectiles!
The role of the shadow clones was evident at this moment!
Second relay! Wind Release: Blazing Empty Palm!
The main body completed a 90-degree turn in the air with difficulty, his feet perfectly aligned with the shadow clone's palm. Then, he flew out along the airflow! The shadow clone that remained in the sky was instantly riddled with holes and dissipated. Looking at Haryu, he landed firmly on the finish line, the timer read: 19.99 seconds.
