Bakorio watched as his clone that was wrapped in dark chakra grew a few centimeters taller and got much more bulkier as well. However, he was still far from being comparable to him…

'All attributes reached 150, not bad' He thought, then he simply ordered the clone to focus on practicing the Sharp chakra transformation.

'It seems like I will have to wait for a month before I could create another clone, however this is pretty good, I can't wait to have an army of real clones' Bakorio couldn't help but smirk widely before he went to sleep since this day was very tiring to him both mentally and physically…

…

The next day, Bakorio ended up doing a test for his students just as promised and all those who failed it were directly expelled from his class which created a huge controversy…

One of the kids that got expelled was none other than the fatso from the Arima clan, and he immediately ran back home to complain to his parents about this incident which made them very angry…

However, they were merchants, and his father immediately understood the implications of antagonizing the Uchiha clan 'This stupid son of mine, If I knew his teacher was that monster Bakorio I would have tried to carry favor with him, now everything is ruined and he might even hate our clan for it…'

Little fatso didn't understand his father's attitude at all, and so were many other kids that got expelled. In fact, some of the parents even went as far as bring their kids to apologize and asked Bakorio to give them another chance which after some contemplation and nagging from Fugaku, he agreed to…

"Listen kids, you may think that my classes are difficult, but would you rather waste three or more years to learn a useless transformation Jutsu for you to play hide and seek with, or do you want to become a real Ninja? If so, I already discussed with the Hokage and if anyone wants to relocate from this class, they are welcome to do so. However, you won't get the opportunity to join again in the future no matter the connections you have, even if you are from my own Uchiha clan"

Seeing the cold look in Bakorio's eyes, both the parents and their kids knew that he wasn't messing around, and some of the kids quickly gave their opinions

"I'm staying"

"Me too"

"So do I"

'Nod'

Many people agreed, and surprisingly it was Shikamaru the one who spoke first… Some parents were reluctant if they should keep their kids in this 'special' class or not, and the majority of them ended up transferring their kids to other classes. Although that cunning merchant from the Arima clan kept his son in this class despite his wailing…

"Good, all those that were against joining my class, follow teacher Iruka and he will take care of your arrangements, the rest follow me… You have survival training today" With this said, Bakorio turned around and went towards the classroom which surprised the students

"Don't we usually do this training in the playground?"

"I don't know, maybe teacher doesn't know the way yet?"

Doubts rose on the students' minds, but Bakorio's destination was the classroom from the start and once everyone took a seat he spoke

"Today's test is about survival, you will each be assigned opponents that you have to beat, and there's a secret task that if you complete, you will be awarded with 100000 Ryo, good luck"

"How are we going to be assigned opponents here?" Asked Kiba curiously while staring at Bakorio but just as he did, he felt attracted to his blood-red eyes, and before he knew it, his vision shifted and he found himself in a field with a splitting image of himself facing him…

"What's going on?" Muttered Kiba while observing his surroundings warily but the clone in front of him suddenly spoke "Your mission is to defeat me"

"Huh, that would be too easy" Spoke Kiba with confidence, but the clone simply smirked at him before he started beating him up left and right

While laying on the ground, Kiba grimaced in pain and he almost started crying but suddenly a golden blob fell on his body and he found himself healed from all of his injuries and invigorated

"That felt so good" said Kiba but he heard the clone suddenly say "Let's begin round two…"

"HECK NO!" Yelled Kiba before he turned around and started running away, but the clone had the same speed as him so he couldn't increase the distance between them…

'What should I do?' Was the only thought in Kiba's mind before an idea suddenly hit him 'That's right, my clan's Taijutsu'

Suddenly, Kiba turned around and landed on all four and started running like an animal at his clone, and he was able to land a few hits on it but still lost in the end. However, this time he wasn't discouraged but rather smiled widely and said "Next time I will beat you!" and a golden blob came right in time invigorating him as he started fighting once more…

The students were all encountering similar situations, which was all the doing of Bakorio's Genjutsu… Thanks to his evolved Sharingan, he can now create such realistic Genjutsu easily and made it so that the opponents of these kids all have a simple close combat mastery of level 5… However, this was still a huge task for these kids…

However, some still successfully passed the test such as Naruto and Sasuke as well as Shikamaru who outsmarted his clone by using the terrain to his advantage… Shino used some bugs to block the clone's vision and so on…

Those that defeated the first clone were faced with a clone with a higher close combat mastery and this kept happening until they couldn't defeat their clones and kept struggling instead…

After 1 hour of training, all of the kids were expelled from the Genjutsu and they found themselves still sitting on their seats with their small bodies completely fine"Today's survival training is over. Unfortunately, no one completed the secret task, although some of you got close, you are all dismissed"

Bakorio shot Sasuke a smirk before he left the classroom and little Sasuke couldn't help but pout 'Next time I will definitely break from your Genjutsu!'

...

On the way back home, Bakorio had a satisfied smile on his face 'It seems like this training method is doable, and since it's just a Genjutsu, the kids will only get tired mentally and they don't need to worry about injuries…'

…

One month went by quickly and Bakorio started to get used to his teaching routine and the students were showing great improvements! Some of them can even beat those that were one year older than them which attracted the academy's attention. However, Bakorio told them that it wasn't yet time to change the whole teaching system and he had to fine-tune this training method first since he began to find a few glaring problems with it.

The students were advancing rapidly thanks to being able to go all out inside the Genjutsu since they can always recover, but that was a very dangerous habit they were cultivating since in the real world, they only had one life to spend and that fighting style would spell their doom.

So, Bakorio ended up splitting the survival classes with two-thirds happening in the Genjutsu and one-third in the real world which seemed to be a good balance so far but he needs to wait and see the results…

…

After returning back home, Bakorio noticed that the negative status he had been enduring was finally gone and he decided to create another true clone today.

After taking a deep breath, Bakorio steeled his heart and said "True clone Jutsu!" and instantly, a white light covered his body before it removed a pile of gore that ended up floating in front of him…
