Naruto Talent System - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 The Children of Others

Konoha!

Inside a classroom of a third-grade class at Ninja School.

“Listen well, tomorrow is the day of the yearly assessment, and this is also the time for the early graduation assessment. Whether you can graduate early or continue to stay in the school will be decided, so tomorrow’s assessment cannot be missed…”

At the top of podium, Monku, a ninja teacher in his thirties, said loudly with a serious expression, which also made the students in the classroom either nervous or excited.

Normally, the tenure of the ninja school is six years, and even those who enter the school with the minimum number of years will graduate at the age of eleven.

But this year things are different.

Just a few days ago, the ninja school conveyed a new instruction, that is, this time the year assessment, except for the first grade, all other grades will be the same as the sixth grade, and this year assessment will be used as the graduation exam.

In other words, this year assessment will be a large-scale early graduation trend.

Graduating from Ninja School is something that every student is prepared for. Similarly, many students look forward to graduation. After all, in this world, becoming a ninja is a very honorable thing.

However, just like some students in the classroom were apprehensive.

Not everyone has the confidence to pass the graduation assessment, so people with poor grades will inevitably feel nervous and uneasy in their hearts.

“In the past two days, we reviewed the clone technique. Today we will review the final transformation technique again, and prepare for tomorrow’s assessment.

Now we will start the roll call based on last month’s assessment results. The first one is Uchiha Zeno.”

In addition to the Year assessment in the ninja school, there is also a monthly assessment in a class unit every month, which is also extremely monthly.

Following the call of the ninja teacher on the podium, in the middle row of the classroom, a teenager just stood up from his seat.

This teenager was Uchiha Zeno, who ranked first in the monthly exam last month.

He has black shaggy hair and is wearing a slim black and blue dress.

And under the young boy’s tender face, there is an undisguised handsome appearance.

If there is a ranking of appearance in the entire class, Uchiha Zeno will definitely be ranked first like his grades, or the kind that is several blocks ahead of the second.

In addition, this surname is enough to prove that Uchiha Zeno is from the Uchiha family, one of the two giants of Konoha.

After standing up from his seat, Uchiha Zeno calmly followed the aisle between the desks and strode to the podium.

“Transfiguration!”

Without much words, he completed the seal with both hands extremely skillfully and quickly. With the bang, his body and appearance changed as the white smoke dissipated.

Regardless of appearance, body shape, or even the subtle dress on his body, Uchiha Zeno has changed exactly the same as Ninja teacher, and the two are separated from the podium, as if looking in a mirror.

“Excellent.”

The ninja teacher saw Uchiha Zeno’s transformation technique, and the ninja teacher first gave his grades, and then praised: “Zeno, your mastery of transformation skills, even if it is placed in tomorrow’s assessment, I believe that the examiners will also give excellent evaluations.”

The grades of Ninja School are evaluated according to ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘passed’ and ‘unqualified’.

An ‘excellent’ assessment is the best possible result.

For Teacher Ninja’s praise, Uchiha Zeno first released his transformation, and then said very modestly: “Teacher, I still have a lot to learn from you.”

His humble attitude immediately made Teacher Ninja feel even more satisfaction in his heart.

The reputation of the Uchiha family in the village is not very good. One of the main reasons is that most people are arrogant and look down on other people outside the family.

But Uchiha Zeno is different. Whether he is now or at ordinary times, when he is in contact with people, he is very warm and kind, and this also makes him very popular among ninja teachers and classmates.

Satisfied in his heart, Teacher Ninja also looked around the other students in the classroom, and said loudly: “You all saw Zeno’s transformation skills just now demonstrated, and Zeno is your best study object. Don’t think I am lying, whether it’s transformation or other projects, Zeno is worth learning for all of you.

And just last year today, Zeno’s grades in the class were only in the middle and lower reaches, but in the past year, Zeno’s grades have improved rapidly by virtue of his own efforts. Half a year ago, he became the chief student of our class, and still hold the title until now.

Even for tomorrow’s assessment, including me in fact, all the teachers are very confident that Zeno will have a great chance to win the grade of the chief student in tomorrow’s assessment…”

Uchiha Zeno is obviously a good student in the eyes of the teacher, and it is also an inspiration. The example of other students, in the following words, the ninja teacher gave a high evaluation without hesitation.

“Hey… Teacher said it again. We also want to learn from Zeno, but we also have to have his talent.”

“That is to say, Zeno is a real genius, don’t talk about us, even if it is other chief student of the class, I don’t think anyone can compare with Zeno.”

“No, with Zeno’s grades, I am afraid that only Kakashi, who graduated early, can match.”

“… …”

The students in the classroom had mixed reactions to Teacher Ninja’s remarks.

Some sighed helplessly, some envied and revered, and some looked at Uchiha Zeno eagerly.

The last ones are basically girls from the class.

Girls in this world are generally precocious, even if they are only eight or nine years old, they have already begun to know how to pursue love.

With Uchiha Zeno’s excellent grades and his outstanding looks, he is naturally the most popular and sought after by girls in the class.

After the ninja teacher finished speaking, Uchiha Zeno also returned to his seat.

He has long been accustomed to the eager eyes from the girls, so there is no abnormality, and he even responds with a gentle smile from time to time, making the girls who receive the response happy.

“Zeno, do you want to say that tomorrow’s assessment will be difficult?”

When Uchiha Zeno sat back in his seat, the tablemate on his right came over and asked in a low voice.

Uchiha Zeno turned his head to look, and what caught his eyes was Kurenai with a pair of very beautiful big wine red eyes and a delicate face.
