Chapter 86

"By the way, Teacher Makoto, I don't have to solve questions for the second level, right?" Obito suddenly remembered something important.

"Just like the first level, the first time is free. The retries, however, are not," Makoto explained.

"The first time is free, that's great." Obito was very happy.

"Teacher Makoto, let's start quickly," Obito couldn't wait.

Then Makoto took Obito to the river and explained:

"The river here is only fifteen meters wide. You need to cross it within ten seconds without falling into the water."

After explaining, Makoto separated. More than a dozen shadow clones stood by the river, preparing to use ninjutsu.

When Obito heard that it would take ten seconds, he was excited. The total distance was only fifteen meters, but he had ten seconds.

But after Obito saw so many shadow clones of Makoto, he became a little uneasy and had a terrible suspicion in his mind.

He saw more than a dozen Makotos forming seals neatly, and soon there were more than a dozen thick water dragons on the water, rushing back and forth quickly along the river's direction.

Obito was dumbfounded when he looked at the water dragons that almost filled the river.

What the hell was this?

'A certain degree of interference?' He felt like there wasn't much room to pass through.

"Obito, are you ready? If you are, I will start the timing," Makoto asked.

"I'm ready, let's get started," Obito said bravely.

Obito had already had an agreement with Makoto to start the challenge. If he fails, he will just retry again later.

Obito was thinking hard about how to complete this second level of the challenge. Although he had avoided the bullets while walking on the river during water walking training, the number of bullets was not at the same level as the number in the second-level challenge.

During water walking training, there was only one water dragon on the river. He just had to be careful not to be knocked over by the waves caused by the bullets.

As for this challenge, the entire surface of the river was filled with Water dragons, and finding a path was a test of one's keen eyesight.

"Start!" Makoto shouted while using ninjutsu.

*Swish*

After hearing Makoto's signal, Obito had no choice but to plunge into the river.

Obito hoped he might be able to rush over with his eyes closed, after all, the distance was only fifteen meters.

However, the challenge Makoto had in mind was not something that could be passed just by luck.

*Bang*

*Splash*

Obito had only advanced less than three meters when he was hit by a quickly approaching water bullet and fell into the river, taking in a gulp of water.

"It's a pity. The challenge failed," Makoto stopped the ninjutsu and quickly pulled Obito out of the water.

"Teacher Makoto, your challenge is too difficult. How can you pass so many water dragon bullets?" Obito complained.

He felt like he had just started and failed.

"There is plenty of time, a full ten seconds. Why don't you stop and observe the movement pattern of the water dragon bullet before starting to move," Makoto suggested.

Obito didn't usually think twice before acting, this training will force him to change his reckless habits. This is Naruto, and not Dragon Ball.

"Teacher Makoto, let me try the challenge again," Obito finally realized his mistake.

"If you want to challenge again, you'll need to pay with 3 test papers. Are you sure you want to challenge now?" Makoto smiled and looked at Obito.

Obito thought about the three test papers he had just received yesterday and decided to give up. Despite Makoto's advice, the difficulty of this level was very high, and passing it would be very challenging.

Failing the level would mean answering another 3 test papers, and Obito didn't want to do something so foolish.

"Then, let's start practicing. Today I will teach you a special chakra application technique that can increase your speed. If you can practice it well, you should be able to sprint across the river," Makoto said.

"Teacher Makoto, you're my Sage of Six Paths!" Obito was very excited when he heard Makoto's words and suddenly saw the dawn of victory again.

"Then practice hard," Makoto said, tapping Obito's forehead with his fingers.

"I always practice hard," Obito chuckled.

Then Makoto began to explain a nerfed version of Soru.

...

Makoto started the first strength test at 3:30 on Monday afternoon.

This time, he did not ask the teacher at the ninja school for help. Instead, he separated into two shadow clones, one of whom graded one group.

"Hagane Kotetsu." The shadow clone of Makoto took out a form and started calling the students to begin the exam.

Hearing his name, Kotetsu stepped forward quickly.

Kotetsu quickly formed a seal and used the transformation technique, the clone technique, and the substitute technique, then performed a set of physical movements, and finally took out his shuriken and threw it at the target thirty meters away.

"Some progress has been made, keep working hard," Makoto commented after recording the score.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Makoto." Hearing Makoto's compliment, Kotetsu nodded with satisfaction.

"Kamizuki Izumo." Makoto continued to call.

Kamizuki Izumo also quickly stepped forward and began to show off.

After finishing the scoring, Makoto noticed that Izumo and Kotetsu had made similar progress.

"Mitarashi Anko." Makoto called,

Hearing Makoto's voice, Anko trotted forward and greeted Makoto with a bright smile before demonstrating her abilities.

Hearing Makoto call Anko's name, Izumo and Kotetsu were a little nervous, and they didn't relax until they saw Anko's performance.

While she is much better than them, she should not be directly promoted to Group B. At most, her score will be higher.

"Izumo, in next week's actual combat test, we will definitely make a big move!" Kotetsu thought of the nearly perfected Enemy-Confusion Technique with a bright smile on his face.

"Yes, with Ebisu's Sama brilliant idea, we will definitely be able to dominate Group C." Izumo nodded.

"It's a shame that Ebisu Sama is so indifferent to fame and wealth that he doesn't want us to reveal that this brilliant idea came from him," Kotetsu sighed.

"Ebisu Sama doesn't need to be famous, but we have to give him credit. If we can win a big victory, we will become famous together with Ebisu Sama!" Kamizuki Izumo believed in repaying kindness with kindness.

"Izumo, you are such a good guy! You never fail to disappoint me." Kotetsu patted Izumo on the shoulder, and the two of them smiled together.
