Renye-kun, wake up, don't sleep anymore.
Renye groggily opened his eyes to see Nara Hon'ya softly calling him.
"Ugh, is the exam over?"
He wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and looked around; there weren't many people left in the classroom.
Nara Hon'ya nodded and said, "The exam is over. Everyone went out to eat and prepare for the practical assessment this afternoon."
"Let's go, we should eat too."
The two brought their bento boxes to the training ground and found a place to sit.
By then, some classmates had already finished eating and begun warming up.
Renye opened his bento and started eating.
"Renye-kun, how did you do on the exam?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi came over with his bento.
"Not bad," Renye said.
"Haha, that's good."
Hiruzen Sarutobi picked a piece of braised pork from Renye's bento and put it into his mouth. His eyes immediately lit up, and he exclaimed,
"Mm, delicious!"
"Really? I want to try some too."
Nara Hon'ya also picked a piece of braised pork and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
"The taste is indeed excellent!"
"One more piece."
"Me too."
Soon, the entire box of braised pork was finished by the two of them.
Renye didn't react much to this; these two often came to freeload food and drink, so he was already used to it.
In the distance, Danzo Shimura looked at the rice ball in his hand, then at Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose mouth was glistening with oil.
"Hiruzen, how selfish can you be!"
He didn't even bring him any...
He hadn't eaten Renye's bento in a long time.
At first, after Hiruzen Sarutobi got food from Renye, he would come over and share some with him.
But later, Hiruzen never shared with him again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi even deliberately avoided him when eating.
He always ate with Renye, while Danzo could only watch from afar.
Actually, it wasn't Hiruzen's fault; the bento Renye made was simply too delicious.
He didn't even have enough for himself, so why would he be willing to share it with Danzo?
He had already done his utmost by painfully sharing a few times before.
Danzo Shimura subconsciously swallowed his saliva and coldly snorted,
"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"
One day, Hiruzen would regret not sharing the delicious food with him!
——————
In the afternoon, the practical assessment began.
Senju Takuma arrived at the training ground with a lottery box.
"Next, we will conduct the practical assessment. Opponents will be decided by drawing lots."
In the battles, students needed to use their learned Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu skills to demonstrate their combat and adaptability.
Senju Takuma would comprehensively score the students based on their performance on the field, including skill application, combat decisions, and reaction speed.
It was not scored based on winning or losing.
The drawing of lots concluded.
Danzo Shimura's face turned green when he saw the results of the draw.
Damn it, his opponent really was Uchiha Renye.
He seriously suspected whether Uchiha Renye had bribed the homeroom teacher to rig the results.
"Hahaha, I've got you, you little brat!" Renye's gaze was cold. "If I don't beat the crap out of you, then you've got clean bowels!"
Who told this guy to come looking for trouble so early in the morning?
His theoretical exam went badly, and he was in a bad mood, so he could beat Danzo to vent his anger.
Danzo Shimura's face was lined with black, and he coldly snorted, "Who wins and who loses is still unknown!"
Although he wasn't Renye's opponent before, that didn't mean he wasn't now!
During this time, to prepare for the practical assessment, he had been diligently training late every day!
Danzo Shimura was confident that he could redeem himself in this assessment!
"Oh, then you must win!" Renye said indifferently.
A vein throbbed on Danzo Shimura's forehead, and he wished he could fight Renye right now.
Unfortunately, it wasn't their turn yet.
The first match was Hiruzen Sarutobi versus Nara Hon'ya.
Nara Hon'ya felt like the sky had fallen when he saw the draw results.
"Why am I so unlucky?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled slightly, "Hon'ya-kun, I'll go easy on you."
Senju Takuma announced, "Battle start!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi launched an attack on Nara Hon'ya.
"Bastard, don't underestimate me! No matter what, I'm a genius of the Nara Clan!"
Nara Hon'ya used Shadow Imitation Jutsu, trying to control Hiruzen Sarutobi.
But the attack was easily dodged.
"What?" Nara Hon'ya was startled. Just as he was about to control his shadow to change direction, Hiruzen Sarutobi was already close.
"It's over!"
He could only watch, unwillingly, as Hiruzen Sarutobi's attack came at him.
Is this the difference between geniuses?
"Hiruzen Sarutobi wins."
Senju Takuma began to score their performances.
"Uchiha Refū versus Uchiha Kagami."
"Uchiha Kagami, I will definitely win this time!"
In the last test, Uchiha Refū was defeated by Kagami.
This made him very unwilling. Why should he lose to such a guy?
Since then, he had trained even more diligently, all to defeat Kagami.
Uchiha Kagami smiled slightly, "Refū-kun, I won't go easy on you."
"Bastard, you haven't won yet!"
Two minutes later.
"Uchiha Kagami wins!"
Uchiha Refū lay on the ground, starting to question his life.
Why did it feel like Kagami had gotten stronger again?
"Refū-kun, are you alright?" Uchiha Kagami asked with concern.
Kagami's concerned gaze pierced him like a steel needle.
He struggled to stand up, "Uchiha Kagami, next time, I will definitely defeat you!"
"I look forward to that day." Uchiha Kagami still maintained his smile.
Uchiha Refū: "..."
"Hyuga Yushu versus Utatane Koharu!"
"Hyuga Yushu wins!"
"Uchiha Rin versus Homura Mitokado!"
"Homura Mitokado wins!"
Soon, it was Renye and Danzo's turn to fight.
"Danzo, you can do it!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted loudly.
Danzo's face darkened at the sound.
Did Hiruzen think he wasn't embarrassing enough?
"Uchiha Renye, I will definitely defeat you this time!"
"Want to try?"
Their battle began!
Their battle ended!
"Uchiha Renye wins!"
"Danzo, are you alright?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward with concern.
"Get lost, Hiruzen! Stop pretending here!"
Renye: "???"
Why did this scene feel so familiar?
The practical assessment ended.
Senju Takuma began to rank them according to their theoretical and practical assessment scores.
"First place, Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
"Second place, Hyuga Yushu!"
"Third place, Uchiha Kagami!"
"Fourth place, Homura Mitokado!"
"Fifth place, Danzo Shimura!"
...
"Eleventh place, Nara Hon'ya."
...
"Twenty-fifth place, Uchiha Renye."
"What the hell?!"
Renye felt like the sky had fallen when he learned his ranking!
It was important to know that there were only thirty people in the class, and his score placed him among the bottom.
"This is rigged! There's definitely something fishy going on!" Renye protested loudly.
Facing Renye's questioning, Senju Takuma pulled out the test paper with a score of 5 points.
Everyone present showed incredulous expressions when they saw the score.
Is this a score a human can get?
Renye looked at the test paper and fell into deep thought.
