Chapter 7 Konoha Year 31, Final Exams
Hijacking Kushina Uzumaki is no easy task.
An ordinary person is not worthy of the favor of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so after gaining Kushina's favor, he still needs to show his talent and let those important figures see his value.
Otherwise, all sorts of unexpected events would happen to Gojo Yoru by chance, ranging from separating him from Uzumaki Kushina to his complete disappearance.
After all, the Nine-Tails is the strongest tailed beast and the strongest strategic weapon in the ninja world. Konoha needs to use the shackles of bonds to bind Kushina Uzumaki to Konoha, and those shackles must be of the right quality.
Minato Namikaze from the original work lives up to this value!
However, Minato Namikaze only gained Kushina Uzumaki's favor after graduating, during the Cloud Ninja incident.
If Gojo Yoru wants to snatch Uzumaki Kushina during his time at the Ninja Academy, then he needs to demonstrate his talent during that time.
Therefore, before Kushina Uzumaki enrolled as a "transfer student," Yoru Gojo had to have a certain level of strength and something that would amaze some people.
So, in what year did Kushina Uzumaki join Konoha?
Gojo Yoru didn't know.
However, based on the information revealed by the anime TV series and observations from last semester, Gojo Yoru can roughly deduce the answer.
First of all, it is certain that Kushina Uzumaki did not transfer to the school in her first or second year.
The six or seven-year-old child was too short, with a chubby face, completely unlike the image of Kushina Uzumaki as a child.
Furthermore, if Gojo Yoru remembers correctly, in the original story, a guy who was brutally beaten by Uzumaki Kushina went to his older brother, who had become a ninja, for help to get revenge, only to be defeated and beaten down by Uzumaki Kushina.
If it was the same year, then the possibility of Kushina Uzumaki transferring here in her third year is very small.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be after the third grade. Whether it's the fourth, fifth, or sixth grade, I don't know.
Before Kushina Uzumaki appeared, Yoru Gojo had at least three more years to grow.
The pen-twirling motion paused slightly, and a flash of inspiration seemed to pass through Gojo Yoru's mind. She involuntarily closed her eyes, lost in thought.
It wasn't until the school bell rang and the teacher entered the classroom that Gojo Yoru opened his eyes again and began to study diligently.
In his previous life, an average adult male had about 36 trillion cells in his body, or 36 trillion.
The children in this world who possess chakra have 130 trillion cells.
Therefore, children in this world are excessively precocious. They understand love and romance at five or six years old, and may go to the battlefield at seven or eight. Even in peacetime, they see blood at twelve.
Similarly, the knowledge they learn at this age is quite outrageous.
It includes Mandarin and history, medicine and chemistry, as well as code deciphering and more...
These things shattered Gojo Yoru's arrogance last semester and were one of the reasons why he was under so much pressure.
If it weren't for his transmigration and privileged background, he wouldn't have had much of an advantage in this world, having only started learning the basics of ninja at the age of six.
Therefore, before he possessed the power to protect himself, Gojo Yoru dared not relax for a moment.
Whether it's academic or practical classes, he doesn't want to lose to anyone; he wants to keep winning and always be number one.
……
March 20th, Konoha Year 31, afternoon.
bang——
A deep, muffled thud, like hitting a sandbag, echoed across the playground in the area of Class 1, Grade 1.
The crowd that had formed a circle suddenly dispersed.
A figure flew out of the circle, crashed heavily to the ground, and could not get up again.
Seeing this, Yuya, the Chunin instructor standing next to a man in a white coat, immediately announced, "The battle is over. The winner is Gojo Yoru."
The medical ninja beside him, who was also the proctor for the final exams and responsible for protecting the students' safety, immediately went over to check the student's body and then used medical ninjutsu to treat him.
Meanwhile, many of the students not far away still looked completely bewildered.
"What...what just happened?"
"Didn't Professor Yuya just announce the start? How come Yusuke suddenly flew out?"
"It's a Body Flicker! Gojo's Body Flicker is so fast!"
"Yoru-kun has gotten stronger again. Now that he's a first-year student, I'm afraid only Minato-kun can fight him."
"How did this guy grow so big? Last year he was only half a head taller than us, now he's a whole head taller. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was a fifth or sixth grader. How could we possibly beat him? It's so unfair!"
"Tall, fast, and strong—no wonder those upperclassmen don't dare mess with him!"
"If I can't even see them, I might as well just admit defeat if I get matched with five of them in the future."
"..."
The whispers were low, and both men and women were secretly glancing at Gojo Yoru, who had his hands in his pockets, with fearful eyes.
A head taller than them, Gojo Yoru, expressionless, now resembled an invincible demon king, radiating a black aura.
Having recovered from the treatment, but still trembling slightly from fear, Yusuke made a reconciliation with Gojo Yoru without saying goodbye and left the school without looking back.
Yuya did not stop him from doing so.
If Gojo Yoru defeats Yusuke and leaves without looking back, Yuya will surely be filled with worry and consider whether to ask the Hokage to arrange for Gojo Yoru to receive treatment from a psychologist.
But after Gojo Yoru kicked Yusuke away, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he stood there waiting for the outcome and only left after completing the reconciliation seal with Yusuke.
To his peers, Gojo Yoru is a ruthless demon king.
In the eyes of adults like Yuya, he was just a shy little guy who wasn't good at expressing himself.
Perhaps Gojo Yoru is feeling guilty right now for not controlling his strength earlier.
Today is the final exam for the third semester from first to fifth grade. In a few days, it will be the graduation exam for sixth grade.
The graduation exam for sixth graders has different questions every year, and passing it results in graduation.
The final exams of the third semester from first to fifth grade are also known as the annual exams.
After this exam, the results will be posted on the bulletin board at the beginning of the new school year.
At the same time, based on the overall grades of the three semesters, five students who rank first in the entire grade will be selected from all classes in the five grades to serve as role models for all students.
This role model is also known as the top student.
Although the final physical skills assessment was not yet over, the students in Class One already knew who the top student was.
There are no members of the Uchiha or Hyuga clans among this year's freshmen.
Both of these powerful families control important departments and have the privilege of nurturing their own successors.
The members sent to the school were either ordinary members whose talents were not even considered good enough by their clans, or descendants of high-ranking members of their clans, who were "hostages" specifically sent to put the Hokage and the higher-ups of Konoha at ease.
Only when these descendants of high-ranking officials receive education in the Will of Fire will the high-ranking officials feel at ease.
Of course, these two prestigious families would occasionally send a few geniuses to the ninja academy to make their presence known, first showcasing their talent and strength, and then quickly graduating early so that their peers could feel the gap between themselves and the prestigious families.
Unfortunately, this year's class didn't have such a genius.
However, in Yuya's eyes, whether it was Gojo Yoru or Namikaze Minato, apart from not having a powerful bloodline limit, their talents were no worse than those of members of powerful clans and great ninja families.
