In the afternoon after the first break is over.

"It is time for the Transformation Jutsu exam." ​​

"The first one will be Ryo."

Ryo Uchiha, the future leader of the Uchiha clan.

He was the best Uchiha of his generation. However, he has always been in second place right behind Orochimaru since second grade.

He walked up, confidently towards the podium.

In less than a second, he managed to cast Transformation Jutsu, imitating Arata flawlessly.

"Impressive!, next is Jiraiya. Come over here."

Transformation Jutsu used to be a weak point from Jiraiya, but weirdly enough, now he approaches the podium with his head high full of confidence. Is he planning something?

Arata gives him the sign to begin.

"Okay then, Transformation Jutsu!"

BOOM!!

A cloud of smoke filled the room.

After the smoke slowly disappears, a fair skin sexy woman with only a piece of bra and thong appeared.

"Hahaha, isn't it Harem Jutsu? I got caught off guard!" Akabane burst out laughing.

"Holy shit, Jiraiya is genius, this must be his ultimate jutsu," said his other classmates

There was an instant outburst of laugher in the class. Nobody couldn't imagine that such an awesome jutsu was performed in front of a kid's eyes.

"What are you doing idiot!!!"

Arata suffered the most blows with him being the closest to Jiraiya jutsu. He scolded Jiraiya as he tried to cover his nosebleed.

Even someone his caliber couldn't predict such a thing.

"Come down here Jiraiya. I'll give you an extra lesson." Said Arata with a sarcastic tone.

"Humph, it seems you are improving, creating a jutsu from a fiction book, not bad.

Orochimaru put a fair word for Jiraiya who seems not affected by the jutsu's charm.

"Sorry sensei, my bad, hahaha."

Whoosh!

His jutsu was canceled.

"Hah! That kind of jutsu is just for a kid."

Ryo just mumbled with himself, but Jiraiya could hear him.

"You!!!"

Jiraiya looked at him in annoyance, but he knew that Ryo's jutsu was better than him.

To be honest, Arata thought that Jiraiya's jutsu wasn't far from Ryo before. But that's just too much for this middle-aged man to handle.

Ryo smirked.

Offstage, Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes fierce. He seems to enjoy the argument.

"Cough! Cough! Jiraiya, I'll punish you for making a review for today's lesson!"

Arata still couldn't keep his composure after that fatal blow.

"Yes sensei."

He glared at Ryo when he went down the podium, it seems there is a rivalry between the two of them.

"Okay, enough of it. Next is Akabane Kurama."

Akabane walks toward the podium with confidence.

without further ado, he begins "Transformation Jutsu!"

However, he chooses to become Ryo.

With the same arrogance and the same look. Just like the real twin of Ryo.

He tried to recreate some words that Ryo might say, "Hahaha… I am Uchiha Ryo, the strongest ninja here, hahaha, of course, just a little lower than Orochimaru…"

"Akabane! You bastard!"

Ryo rises from his table with anger, but for a moment, he was speechless again.

Because Akabane had become almost identical with him, and he couldn't deny that he had thought of something like that before.

"Sensei, how does my Transformation Jutsu compare to him?"

Akabane pointed at Ryo.

"Well done Akabane, I'll give you a perfect score."

He knew from before that Akabane already understood Transformation Jutsu better than any other student in his class.

Ryo was speechless. He needs to suck up his pride for now.

"A piece of advice for you, next time, don't underestimate anyone too soon. They might be better than you thought."

And Ryo's anger that was about to subside became like an active volcano when he heard Akabane's sneering voice.

"Hah! I admit your capability, but we, Uchiha Clan have more to offer at the real battle.

Another Uchiha tried to defend his clan's pride.

"Your Genjutsu is useless against our Sharingan. I'll prove it to you at the exhibition exam tomorrow!"

Ryo is still as ignorant as before.

"Fair enough, I'll be looking forward to it."

Akabane replied to their taunt.

It seems now there is bad blood between Akabane and Uchiha students.

"It will be a piece of cake to beat him. Just you watch Akabane."

Roy consoled himself in his mind.

On the other hand, Akabane didn't think about it.

Even if he might fight against someone from the Uchiha Clan, they are still only a kid and haven't awakened their Sharingan yet.

"Thanks, Akabane."

Jiraiya thanks Akabane for standing up for him. He knew he was not as strong as Ryo yet to defend himself.

"It's fine. We still got room to grow. You might be the strongest ninja in the future. In fact, I really liked your jutsu before."

"Hey, hey, Jiraiya teach me that jutsu another time, okay!" said one of his classmates.

"Hahaha, I knew it was a masterpiece. Line up, line up I will teach those who want to learn it."

Jiraiya's mood became happy again when he saw how eager his classmates were to learn his new Jutsu.

Akabane knew that Jiraiya would be one of the three legendary ninjas in the future, so he didn't mind helping him.

Akabane's table that was destroyed by Tsunade's punch earlier hasn't been replaced yet, so he simply leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs to watch the others taking their test.

At the same time, he flipped through his system panel.

"System!"

[Point: 94]

"Yes, almost there."

The shadow Clone Jutsu is getting closer within his reach.

This B-class ninjutsu is versatile in any condition, and he wants it as soon as possible.

Of course…

Even without Shadow Clone Jutsu, he still could manage to beat Ryou.

But with Shadow Clone Jutsu, he could open more windows to teach Ryo and his ego some respect.

…

Hokage's Building

"Akabane has awakened the Control of Five Senses?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, not only that, but Kurama Akabane showed superb chakra control in the Transformation Jutsu, and from what I heard from Kurama Clan, his mental power is at the level of Chuunin."

A string of information leaped out of the Anbu's member's mouth, and The Third Hokage smoking motion faltered slightly at the words "Hmm, already at the level of chuunin".

"He might be a new genjutsu genius at this era."

Hiruzen thought, asked, "What does the Kurama Clan do after knowing about this?"

The Anbu answered in a confused tone.

"Well.. They fulfilled Akabane's request of printing his Comics and distributed it among their clan members."

"I see, thank you, you may leave now."

He motions him to leave his room.

He used his telescope jutsu to look at what Akabane was doing right now.

He sits alone in the garden with his pen and board; he seems drawing again.

Hiruzen frowned slightly.

"since when did he become this hard-working?"

With Arata as his class teacher giving him daily reports, he knew about Akabane's nature more or less.

Not a lazy student but also not a hard worker either.

"Does that mean…"

Not far away from Akabane, there is another him lazily sleeping on the grass.

The Third Hokage couldn't stop laughing. It seems true that someone's nature might never change,

But he was slightly in awe. "Shadow Clone Jutsu, huh?… At such a young age, he had already mastered B-grade ninjutsu and awakened the best gift from his clan."

"Hahaha, I couldn't deny his talent."

His opinion of Akabane grew slightly, but that was why he had an even bigger concern.

Suddenly…

A voice came from outside the door.

"Hiruzen, give me Akabane to be trained on Anbu root division, we could use someone like him."

"No, Akabane can't go to the Anbu root division."

The Third Hokage said decisively, "Moreover, The Kurama Clan is at their weakest states right now, there is no way they will allow him to go, and he is still a kid that needs to be trained.

"I'll take Orochimaru then…"
