During this time, ever since Chiyama Gekko became Orochimaru's apprentice, he had been absorbing the knowledge taught by Orochimaru like a greedy person.

Although Orochimaru hadn't asked him to join the experiments yet, Chiyama Gekko knew very well that day wouldn't be far off.

After all, Orochimaru didn't completely break away from humanity until after the Third Shinobi World War, so he wasn't in a rush.

During this period, he taught in the morning and went to Orochimaru's place to study in the afternoon.

He had read all of Orochimaru's books.

Soon, the annual graduation season of the ninja academy arrived.

As an assistant teacher, Chiyama Gekko was also invited to attend this graduation ceremony.

Early in the morning on the day of the graduation exam, besides a group of students who looked relatively older, there were also two obviously younger teenagers standing beside them.

They were also students taking the graduation exam. The only difference was that they had applied to graduate early.

"Kakashi, I will definitely be able to graduate early this time!"

Obito Uchiha looked at Kakashi beside him very cockily.

Kakashi was really too lazy to talk because his eyes had been fixed on Chiyama Gekko.

Since he entered the academy, he had been very successful in every course. However, he had repeatedly failed in the Concealment course, which filled this white-haired teenager with a sense of unwillingness and a desire to get revenge for his previous embarrassment.

And Chiyama Gekko also noticed Kakashi's gaze and directly flashed him a smile.

Kakashi instantly got pissed off when he saw this teasing smile.

Obito Uchiha beside him was still chattering non-stop, and Kakashi directly replied to him.

"The examiners for early graduation are at least special elite ninja level. I estimate you'll be lucky if you can last 3 minutes, so don't even think about it."

"Just go back to school and start over."

Obito Uchiha's face instantly turned dark. He stared at Kakashi with gritted teeth, wishing he could fight him right then and there.

The exam started, and all the candidates stepped onto the high platform one by one to demonstrate ninjutsu.

The content of this exam required the students to perform the Clone Technique, Shifting Body Technique, and Transformation Technique.

At the same time, they also had to be examined on their Shuriken skills, and only after passing all of them could they graduate.

It could be said that compared to the exams of Naruto and the others in the future, this one was much more difficult.

But for the senior students, as long as they were a bit more serious, they could still pass.

The exam progressed quickly, and a total of three examination venues were opened.

One candidate after another took the exam in a hurry.

Chiyama Gekko felt extremely bored watching from the side.

Although there were also people he knew among this group of candidates.

Such as Raidō Namiashi, Genma Shiranui, Guy, etc.

But unfortunately, Guy didn't pass the assessment. After all, his ninjutsu talent was basically zero.

It seemed he would have to lend a hand in the next class.

Suddenly, a figure came to his side.

"Chiyama."

"Eh? Uncle Sakumo Hatake, why did you come?"

The person who came was Sakumo Hatake.

"Regarding the two students who applied to graduate early, Lord Hokage hopes that you will be the examiner."

Chiyama Gekko was slightly taken aback. This was like changing the general in the middle of the battle.

The original examiner was a special elite ninja.

He was just here to observe, but unexpectedly, the examiner was changed at the last minute.

"Alright, what are the assessment requirements?"

"Up to you. As long as it's not too extreme."

After saying that, Sakumo Hatake smiled slightly. After all, the one who applied for early graduation this time was his son.

It was also his idea to let Chiyama Gekko replace the original examiner.

Looking at his smile, Chiyama Gekko instantly understood what he meant.

Goodness, this was really a doting father. He just had to give his own son a challenging test, right?

"Got it."

Chiyama Gekko had no reason to refuse. Moreover, he really liked training Kakashi and Obito Uchiha.

After all, these two were important figures who would later play a huge role throughout the ninja world.

As time passed by minute after minute.

The exams of all the graduating candidates had ended.

A group of students and examiners stepped down one after another, leaving the examination area empty.

Kakashi and Obito Uchiha very consciously stepped onto the examination platform.

Their sudden appearance surprised many people.

But soon, the teacher in charge of the exam explained their situation.

"For this Graduation Assessment, two students submitted requests for early graduation."

"And Lord Hokage has also approved their participation in the Graduation Assessment. However, the assessment will be conducted by the elite ninjas in the village."

"If they can pass the exam, they will graduate directly."

After the words fell, Chiyama Gekko flashed and appeared in front of the two of them.

He smiled slightly looking at their serious expressions.

"I will be conducting the assessment for the two of you."

"No objections, right?"

Both Kakashi and Obito Uchiha nodded.

"Since you two are graduating early, I will assess you separately."

"The assessment content is very simple. Either attack with all your might or defend with all your might and last for three minutes under my hands."

Chiyama Gekko stated the rules with a smile.

But this seemingly extremely simple rule made everyone present slightly startled.

You know, although Chiyama Gekko was only in his teens, he was an elite ninja personally designated by the Third Hokage.

Moreover, he was from the Gekko clan and possessed a special Kekkei Genkai.

For two students who weren't even ninjas yet, not to mention three minutes, they might not even be able to last for a minute.

"Um, Teacher Chiyama, can I change my opponent?"

Obito Uchiha was well aware of the terrifying strength of Chiyama Gekko. He asked this question with a try-it-and-see attitude.

But obviously, it wasn't possible. Chiyama Gekko shook his head with a smile on his face.

"No can do."

Obito Uchiha immediately felt gloomy, but he didn't back down.

At the back of the crowd, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Sakumo Hatake, who saw Chiyama Gekko take the stage in person, both burst into laughter.

"Sakumo, what did I tell you? This kid will definitely do it himself."

"It's a pity that only Kakashi and Obito Uchiha applied for early graduation this session. Otherwise, it would be more interesting."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze shifted to the group of students beside him.

Konoha is a big family, not just the Gekko and Uchiha clans. There are also the Hyuga, Nara, Akimichi, Yamanaka, Aburame, and Sarutobi clans.

All ethnic groups have gathered to form such a large family. As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi very much hopes that more and more young people with strength will emerge in the village.

Now, let's turn our attention back to the examination site.

"So, which one of you two will go first?"

After Chiyama Gekko finished speaking, Kakashi Hatake took the lead and stepped forward.

His childish face was filled with determination.

"Teacher Chiyama, please give me your guidance."

Seeing that Kakashi Hatake took the initiative to fight and was full of fighting spirit, everyone looked at him with admiration in their eyes.

Kakashi Hatake, the son of Konoha's White Fang, indeed looked extraordinary.

"Very good, Kakashi. Remember, the first element in a ninja battle is one's own momentum."

"If you don't have the idea of winning in your heart, how can you win?"

Listening to Chiyama Gekko's on-the-spot teachings, everyone nodded.

Only a very few people's mouths twitched violently.

For example, such as the Hokage, Sakumo, and Chōmei inside Chiyama Gekko.

Their thoughts were very similar.

You, Chiyama Gekko, are the kind of person who mainly tries to dodge and run away if you can.

Yet you're teaching others to be brave and move forward... Is that appropriate?
