077: The God’s Majesty! A Giant Crater in the Training Ground!

I'm… I'm so tired. Iruka complained internally. Is being a teacher easy? No, it's not!

"Hurry up and stop using your mystical powers." 

Who had said that? Iruka looked at the boy. Oh, it's Natsuki.

He nodded

"You passed the test."

Looking up, the giant of light scratched its head through the hole it had created in the ceiling before slowly disappearing. 

Chunks of concrete that had fallen down floated momentarily overhead before being flung away with great force.

It was Hinata!

Thank goodness, this class has many super geniuses with mysterious powers. Iruka breathed a sigh of relief.

No, wait. He couldn't thank the goodness, not really, it precisely because of these super geniuses that he was so exhausted, he could't even yell properly.

Lord Hokage, I really need to apply for more budget. The school building is damaged again; it can't be helped.

Iruka led everyone out of the classroom and onto the training ground. 

This place is wide open; there shouldn't be any more trouble here, right? I should have held the exam here from the beginning. Stupid me! Iruka smacked himself on the forehead.

"Ow…" 

"Teacher? What's wrong with him? He seems to have gone silly."

"Shhh, maybe he got hit on the head by a rock earlier?"

Iruka's face darkened. 

He yelled, "Do you still want to graduate? The examination will continue!

"This time, for the Transformation Jutsu, I am the model. Everyone must transform into me to pass. No more random transformations!"

After the Substitution Jutsu, a new requirement was added to the Transformation Jutsu test.

He really has it rough!

Soon, the graduation exam continued. 

More students went up one after another.

Unfortunately, they were all hopeless, unable even to perform the Substitution Jutsu.

"Fail!"

"Six years, and you still can't perform the basic Three Body Techniques? How can the teachers feel at ease letting you venture into the ninja world?

"You're all held back! Prepare to study with the junior students if you still want to graduate the Academy.

"Next, Yuhi Natsuki!"

Natsuki stepped forward calmly. 

At twelve years old, he stood tall and straight. He was already quite handsome and elegant, yet still retained the cuteness of a young boy. 

His fair and delicate face seemed to glow with a luminous light.

As expected, his appearance triggered a wave of screams.

"Natsuki, so handsome!"

"You can do it Husband!"

"Shameless bitch! He's my husband. The first time I saw him six years ago, I knew he was the one for me."

"You? Pass the exam and become a ninja first. With your skills, you won't even see him after graduation. You have my condolences!"

"Darn it! I must pass the exam and become a ninja, following in Natsuki's footsteps."

"Someone like Natsuki is destined to become the strongest Hokage, and I will become the Hokage's wife."

"Get out of here! Look at yourself!"

"Tch, even if I can't be the Hokage's wife, I can be the second wife, the third wife… I'm willing to be a concubine. As long as I can be by Natsuki's side."

"Shameless bitches…"

The girls chattered and gossiped, like tens of thousands of ducks quacking.

And it wasn't just the students in the same year; even some students from other grades were watching the graduation exam from afar. 

The sound waves seemed to come from all directions.

Only then did the classmates in the class truly realize the influence of the god, Natsuki.

Iruka wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly quieted the noisy crowd. It seems that holding the examination on the training ground wasn't a good idea either.

This shit is too hard!

"Um... Natsuki, you can begin."

"Huh? Why did you run so far?" Others performed their examination in front of Iruka. 

Natsuki, however, had run 30 meters away, far from the crowd.

Natsuki waved from a distance.

"Let's start, give it your all-" 

Oh no! Hearing these familiar words by his own mouth, Iruka's eyes widened in sudden fear.

Substitution Jutsu!

Boom!!!

Natsuki instantly vanished from his spot. In his place appeared a huge artificial mountain, the one placed on the back hill of the school as a landscape decoration.

…and it ended up being brought here by Natsuki's Substitution Jutsu. 

This distance, this replacement… just how much chakra did that consume?!

No, wait. Even with enough chakra, someone without a certain level of mastery in Substitution Jutsu couldn't pull this off. 

This guy's substitution Jutsu is extraordinary, unprecedented! If the ancestor who created the Substitution Jutsu saw this, I wonder what they would think.

Looking at the artificial mountain that occupied half the training ground, Iruka slapped himself hard. 

Why did I have to open my mouth and tell them to give it their all? Don't I already know how many freaks are in this class?

No, wait. Wasn't I supposed to have them use the spare wood in the classroom for the Substitution Jutsu?

He glanced around.

It dawned on him that because they had just left the classroom and come to the training ground, he had forgotten to bring the spare wood.

The training ground was empty; there weren't many usable materials around.

No wonder the previous few students couldn't even perform the Substitution Jutsu. 

The man was too exhausted ot realize this crucial detail.

Asking newly graduated students to use long-range Substitution Jutsu to swap objects like branches, wood, and stones from a hundred meters away was simply unreasonable, even Jonin couldn't do that!

Sigh, I was distracted. I was too busy worrying about the school building repair costs and how to explain it to Lord Hokage that I forgot to bring the exam props.

"Um, Natsuki… you passed. Could you move the artificial hill back? Please?" Iruka wiped the sweat pouring down his forehead and said apologetically.

"That's easy!" A reply came from somewhere.

After a puff of smoke…

The artificial mountain vanished. In its place, a massive crater appeared on the previously flat training ground.

The corner of Iruka's mouth twitched. He quickly pretended not to see it.

His eyes scanned the distance, searching for Natsuki.

"Teacher, I'm here." A calm, steady voice, without a hint of breathlessness, sounded right in front of Iruka.

It startled him. 

Natsuki was already back? So silent and effortless... he's truly exceptional.

With his skills, staying in the Academy was really a waste of talent. 

As your teacher, I can definitely say I'm no match for you. It's a good thing you're graduating.

"Excellent! Natsuki, you are truly outstanding! I hereby declare that you have graduated." Iruka quickly offered sincere praise and simultaneously prevented him from continuing the exam, lest he cause more trouble.

In his opinion, these super geniuses shouldn't need to take the exam at all; otherwise, his poor heart really wouldn't be able to take it.

"Natsuki is too strong!"

"Natsuki is amazing, I love you Natsuki!!!"

"Shameless! Saying things lik that in public… But Natsuki is amazing."

"If I don't say it now, I might not have a chance later."

"That's right, Natsuki, I love you too! You're the strongest!"

Ignoring the noisy girls, Natsuki shook his head and said seriously to Iruka, 

"No, there are still two jutsu I haven't been tested on. Teacher, I don't need special treatment. Just follow the normal procedure; I can do it."

Who would dare say you can't? Not to mention your fan club could pulverize the enemy, your strength alone is monstrous.

"That's not what I meant…" 

What I meant was, you're too capable! Can you please tone it down? Just graduate quickly and go cause trouble for others; go bring down the Hokage tower or something, just leave me alone!!!!

Iruka wiped away the super-duper, extra-strength waterfall of sweat on his forehead and said with a worried face, "You are already very, very strong, but for the sake of fairness, please continue."

Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he added, 

"By the way, don't give it your all anymore. Just do the bare minimum. You've already passed your graduation exam!"

If someone objects your graduation, I'll show them what a sincere teacher who endured the harassment of you terrorists can bring to the table.

Natsuki nodded. "Then I'll just do the bare minimum."

He clapped his hands together, completing the hand seals. "Transformation Jutsu!"

A tremendous light descended from the sky. 

As if poured from the heavens, from within the divine light… another god made his dazzling entrance.

His face was chiseled and flawless, radiant and handsome. 

The eyepatch over his left eye added a touch of ruthlessness and coolness to dashing appearance.

"Oh!!!" Gasps of astonishment echoed across the training ground once more. 

Even Iruka's jaw dropped.

Because this god was none other than himself… just with an eyepatch.
