Chapter 199 Graduation Exams of the Two Former Protagonists
Konoha Ninja School is perhaps the most lively place in Konoha Ninja Village today.

Because of the Fourth Ninja World War, the entire Konoha Village became quite depressed - almost 70 to 80 percent of the ninjas were killed in the battlefield of the Rain Country. With such a huge loss, the Konoha Village was certainly no longer as bustling as before.

However, because this Ninja World War was very short, lasting only two months in total, even though the losses were heavy, several ninja villages did not use their reserve young ninja support - or they did not have time to use them because the battle was over.

Therefore, although the adult ninjas suffered heavy losses and many were killed, none of the students in the ninja school were injured, and there was not even a move to graduate early.

Today is the day when a new round of young ninjas from the Ninja School graduate. A group of young ninjas are standing on the playground to take the graduation test.

Perhaps it was because of the excitement of the Fourth Ninja World War, or perhaps it was because the young Hokage Tsunade had different policies from the old Third Hokage, but the graduation examination of the Ninja School this time was not something like the Three Body Technique, but serious actual combat.

If a ninja student wants to graduate from a school, he or she must fight with a veteran Genin who has graduated a few years ago, and then the Chunin teacher will determine whether they are strong enough to graduate. Of course, it is not required to win, but at least they must be able to fight back.

At this moment on the playground, there were two young ninjas, one with a green melon-shaped head and the other with white eyes and long hair, and a classic Chinese-style girl with a bun. They were the examiners of this Genin exam.

Needless to say, we know that these three people are Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee and Tenten. Because of their age, although they have graduated from the ninja school and become Genin, they did not rush to the battlefield immediately, and naturally did not become victims on the battlefield.

Of course, the brutality of the battlefield and the heavy sacrifices also scared the three little ones. Fortunately, the two people who were closest to them, whether it was Hinata Hizashi or Might Guy, finally returned safely.

Although no close relatives died in this war, the disappearance of a large number of acquaintances or familiar ninjas has made these three young ninjas mature a lot. Now the three of them are standing on the playground, facing the challenges of their younger classmates who have just graduated.

The one standing aside watching and scoring was naturally the teacher of this elite ninja class, Umino Iruka. As a Chunin who was mostly engaged in clerical work, he did not participate in the tragic ninja war and also saved his life.

At this moment, the students of the elite ninja class came forward one by one to fight against the trio of Hyuga Neji. The boys' opponents were Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee, and the girls' opponent was naturally Tenten.

The huge pile of flesh was spinning and crushing towards the opponent, but was calmly grabbed by Hyuga Neji, who changed its direction directly. It crashed into a rock and was knocked unconscious, turning into a little fat man with spinning eyes.

"Akimichi Chouji... Well, you did a good job, you passed!"

Iruka Umino looked at Choji Akimichi's performance and nodded, then turned his head to look to the other side, only to see that the shadow under Nara Shikamaru's feet extended and directly controlled Rock Lee, winning the battle.

Speaking of hard power, Rock Lee can beat ten Nara Shikamaru without taking a breath. However, in terms of brain, the two are completely opposite. Rock Lee's brain is ranked last among the 12 strong men. Even compared to Uzumaki Naruto who occasionally has a flash of inspiration, it is probably inferior.

In addition, this was just an exam and not a life-and-death duel, so Shikamaru Nara first used rhetoric to guide and finally controlled Rock Lee unexpectedly, becoming the only example of a successful counterattack among all ninja students.

"Very good, Shikamaru, you've passed the test too!"

After giving Nara Shikamaru a score in the small notebook in his hand, Umino Iruka said with a smile on his face. Shikamaru nodded lazily and moved the shadow under his feet.

The next moment, Rock Lee, who was freed from the shadow imitation technique, fell to his knees, his whole body gray:

"I actually lost... I lost to a junior who hasn't even graduated yet. My youth is really too bad. I have to work 100 times harder to make up for it!"

Seeing his senior so excited, Nara Shikamaru's forehead was immediately covered with sweat:
"Um... Senior, you don't have to be so depressed. I was just being a little clever. If it was really on the battlefield, I would have been beaten down by now!"

Nara Shikamaru had seen Rock Lee's physical skills. Those students who took the exam at the beginning were basically knocked down with just three punches and two kicks.

Nara Shikamaru estimated that with his fragile physique and weak physical skills, he would probably be knocked down with one punch. That was why Nara Shikamaru had to take a high-profile approach and directly control Rock Lee.

Because if he doesn't do this, the most likely outcome for him is that he will be killed instantly in one move, and he may not even have the chance to get the Genin forehead protector - and then he will probably have to endure a mixed doubles beating when he gets home!

"Don't say that. It's because I didn't work hard enough. I wasted my youth..."

"Hey, you watermelon-rind thick-browed guy over there, do you want to continue the test? I'm getting impatient waiting!"

The blond boy spoke carelessly. Although his words were very impolite, none of the classmates around him spoke.

"Naruto, you should be more polite to your seniors!"

The teacher Umino Iruka said to Uzumaki Naruto angrily, but Uzumaki Naruto just picked his nose and said nonchalantly:
"I know, I know, Mr. Iruka! You're so long-winded. Obviously, this guy is a bushy-browed idiot!"

Today's Uzumaki Naruto is no longer the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. The original Nine-tailed was still sealed in Uzumaki Kushina's body and was later made into a pill, completely destroyed.

After losing his identity as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Uzumaki Naruto's other identity: the posthumous son of the Fourth Hokage, became apparent.

Since Uzumaki Naruto was not a jinchūriki, naturally no one concealed the fact that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage. Therefore, his childhood life was directly transformed to the other extreme compared to the original work.

Everyone acted grateful and fawning towards him, which directly led to Uzumaki Naruto developing a lawless character. In addition, the Ashura Chakra in his body had long been absorbed by Uchiha Feiyu. In the end, although Uzumaki Naruto did not become a scum, he looked like a devil.

"The one with the golden hair... is the child of the Fourth Hokage! You are right, I really can't be depressed any longer. Come on! Let me be your opponent from now on!"

Xiao Li jumped up and looked at Uzumaki Naruto with a serious look on his face.

Uzumaki Naruto clenched his fists and also walked into the battle circle. The current Uzumaki Naruto is not the orphan in the original book. Even though he does not have the Nine-Tails and Ashura Chakra, which greatly reduces his potential, when he was a student, he had a good mother to teach him, and without the Nine-Tails Chakra interference, he was also a genius student in the class, and his strength was not much worse than that of another genius, Uchiha Sasuke.

"Very good, it's my turn next... Sasuke, do you want to have a competition to see who wins first?"

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke also walked into the competition arena. Standing opposite him was the previous session's chief birthday player, Neji. After hearing what Uzumaki Naruto said, he frowned slightly.

In his opinion, Hyuga Neji is much stronger than Rock Lee. Even though Uchiha Sasuke is stronger than himself at this stage in the original work because of his family's teachings, he does not think he can definitely defeat Hyuga Neji.

However, Uchiha Sasuke belongs to the typical Uchiha clan. Even if all the bones in his body are broken, he can still keep his mouth shut. What’s more, it was a challenge initiated by Uzumaki Naruto, whom he regarded as his opponent?

"Well, just don't cry after you lose!"

"Don't underestimate me! Sasuke, you guy?!"

On the other side, the hot-blooded and naive Lee didn't say anything, and the equally arrogant Hyuga Neji couldn't help but roll his eyes:
"Beat me?! It seems like we were totally underestimated by our junior!"

"Xiao Li! Let's have a competition! Let's see who can knock down these two brats first!"

"A match with Neji? Fine then! I won't lose!"

The four little ghosts seemed to be inexplicably aroused, and at this moment, in the Hokage's office in the distance, someone was watching the four people's fight.

When the new Hokage building was first built, it was planned to be the tallest building in the entire village. In the central Hokage office, sealing techniques and technology were combined to create a monitoring system that can see all places in the New Konoha Village.

At this moment, in the Hokage's office, in addition to Tsunade, the Hokage, there were two uninvited mothers, one was Uzumaki Kushina, who had red hair and looked quite hot, and Uchiha Mikoto, who sat on a stool with a gentle face.

Naturally, in such a place, Uchiha Feiyu, who has just come out of seclusion, is indispensable. He is also quite interested in these two original protagonists who have been stripped of their protagonist halo.

Looking at the battle that was about to begin on the large surveillance screen in front of him, Uchiha Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, ignoring the two mothers who were joking next to him, and his eyes suddenly turned black and red.

In the black bottom of the eyes, three red magatama are constantly rotating. They are the opposite color of the normal three-magatama Sharingan, representing the extremely strange Samsara Eye Technique: Night God Harbor!
It was originally a dream-like ninjutsu that observed the past and the future and illuminated the entire world. However, after being integrated with the Heavenly Demon Secret practiced by Uchiha Feiyu, it underwent strange changes.

Uchiha Feiyu's thoughts turned into a strange and unpredictable inner demon in an instant, and penetrated into the minds of the two former protagonists through the observed images.

In an instant, Uchiha Feiyu sensed all the thoughts in the other person's mind. As the thoughts in their minds rose and fell, Uchiha Feiyu could even feel that he could completely control every thought in the other person's mind and turn the two of them into puppets, and the two of them would not notice anything wrong and would only think that the thought was their own.

This feeling of lurking in other people's hearts was quite new to Uchiha Feiyu. With a change of mind, he began to control Uchiha Sasuke's thoughts.

Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, fear, any emotion of Uchiha Sasuke can be easily aroused in his eyes, and now that the battle is about to begin, the emotion that is most easily aroused is excitement.

In an instant, Uchiha Sasuke felt his fighting spirit surge, as if he was possessed by the Fighting Buddha. The invisible fighting will was almost condensed into flames.

Under this intense mental stimulation, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes turned blood red, and a black magatama appeared in a moment.

"Sharingan?! The Uchiha clan's bloodline limit, I didn't expect you to have mastered it before you even graduated!"

Hyuga Neji showed a hint of surprise on his face. The Sharingan is not as common as the Byakugan. Any member of the Hyuga clan can awaken it.

On the contrary, even among the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, only a few can awaken the Sharingan, and those who can awaken the Sharingan at the age of 13 can be called geniuses in the Uchiha clan, which is full of elites.

"Hehehe! With my pair of Sharingan, I can see through all your moves!"

Hearing Uchiha Sasuke's arrogant words, Hyuga Neji rolled his eyes in a very hidden way:

"It's just a Magatama Sharingan, who are you trying to fool?"

"The Sharingan is indeed more suitable for combat than the Byakugan, but it must be at least at the level of three magatama... A one-magatama Sharingan is no match for the Byakugan!"

The observation ability of the Byakugan is worse than that of the Sharingan, but it focuses more on perspective and farsightedness. It is indeed not as good as the Sharingan in terms of functions such as dynamic vision and hypnotic illusion. However, that refers to the fully developed three-magatama Sharingan. The one-magatama Sharingan has a very weak effect on illusion, and its dynamic vision is completely inferior to that of the Byakugan.

But now the high-spirited Uchiha Sasuke didn't care about all this. Instead, he rushed up with full confidence and threw the kunai in his hand casually, which turned into wonderful arcs.

Hyuga Neji snorted coldly. The Uchiha style's kunai throwing technique seemed exquisite, but in fact, in order to pursue a strange route, the speed was greatly reduced. In order to make up for the defect, the Uchiha clan would often hang steel wires on these kunai to secretly attack their opponents.

However, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan observation ability is not to be underestimated. He could see clearly the steel wire behind Uchiha Sasuke's kunai, and even felt the direction of the force and the flow of chakra. How could it possibly pose a threat to him?

He casually stretched out his hand and gently pushed the first two kunai that came over. A condensed chakra passed through the steel wire and instantly penetrated into Uchiha Sasuke's body, making his eyes suddenly widen and his body numb.
