Chapter 169: Chapter 169: A Truly Unique Exam "The exam isn't fixed, and I'm not interested in having you compete for bells or focus on team coordination." "You three-one from the Hyuga main family, one from the Uchiha, and a civilian-aren't going to blend together easily." "I don't like wasting my time on things that won't work, so your exam will be a little different." "Master, someone is using a special jutsu to spy on us," Snowy suddenly informed Takuya. "" Takuya didn't need to think too hard about who it was. Other than the person sitting in the Hokage's office, no one else would dare to casually spy on him. At that moment, the Third Hokage really was using the Telescope Technique to see what Takuya was up to. He wanted to know how Takuya would handle leading a squad that was bound to have problems. The Uchiha were prideful, the Hyuga weren't far behind, and there was also a civilian genius caught in the middle-this team was not going to be easy to lead. How was Takuya going to solve the team's internal issues? Curiosity got the better of the Third Hokage, and he began spying on them. Since there was no one else in his office, he could do as he pleased. Suzune from the Hyuga clan remained silent, Uchiha Ryoji was still rubbing his head, and Aida Sui—the civilian caught between them-asked curiously: "Sensei, what exactly is our exam?" Ignoring the Hokage's spying, Takuya snapped his fingers. "Simple: stand still." Takuya's sudden command made the three of them instinctively straighten up. Even Ryoji, who had been sulking, obeyed without complaint. Takuya glanced up at the sun. He created a shadow clone and said to it: "I'm going to take a nap. Keep an eye on them." "Remember, don't move. Not until I wake up. If you move, you'll all fail and have to repeat a year." The bell test? That's old news. Since I'm the Jonin instructor, I'll decide how this exam goes. After warning the three students, Takuya turned away, lay down comfortably on the grass, and started sleeping, leaving the clone to watch over them. What the...? You're going to sleep while we stand here under the sun, and if we move, we fail? What kind of weird exam is this? Ryoji wanted to scream, and Aida was just dumbfounded. Suzune stayed silent, but from the frown on her face, it was clear she wasn't happy with this test either. But Takuya didn't care whether they were happy or not. As long as he was content, that's what mattered. They would stand in the sun while he napped. || This exam really is something else, the Third Hokage thought, watching from his office. He glanced at Takuya, sleeping on the grass, and then at the three students standing motionless under the hot sun. His mouth twitched a bit. chatting. "It went well. I had them stand in the sun all day, so their legs are probably a bit wobbly now." 11 Your student exams are really strange. Most people use a combat exam or have them compete for bells. But you? You make them stand under the hot sun for hours until their legs give out. Kushina and Mikoto both felt sorry for Uchiha Ryoji and the others. Poor kids. If they were walking normally, it would take them about ten minutes to get home. But Uchiha Ryoji, wobbling as he was, took nearly an hour to make it back. Meanwhile, Suzune collapsed the moment she got home. Her legs felt like they weren't even part of her body anymore. As for the clan training exercises waiting for her, she simply couldn't do them. Having never gone through anything like this before, Suzune was shocked. Who knew standing still for a few hours could be more exhausting than a full day of training? "Sensei really is a genius to come up with an exam like that," she muttered through clenched teeth. Aida, who lived the furthest away, massaged his aching legs as he walked home. The constant grimacing and smiling made passersby think he'd lost his mind. At times he looked like he was in pain, and at other times he looked oddly happy. It was a bizarre sight. The next morning, Takuya woke up early. Having finished his Sage Mode training, he was now adjusting his daily routine. After picking up a mission from the Hokage's office, Takuya strolled over to the village gates. Even though it wasn't 9 AM yet, Ryoji, Suzune, and Aida were already there. None of them had dared to be late. "Good job, no one's late," Takuya said, nodding approvingly. "Let's get going. Today's your first official mission. Hopefully, you'll complete it without any issues." Their mission took them to the countryside. "The client isn't here yet, so while we wait, why don't you all introduce yourselves? Talk about your dreams, favorite foods, things like that. It's a good way to get to know each other." ***********important******** I have a lot of chapters my Patreon because of that I'm willing to release up to 50 chapters this week on this platform.
