NARUTO: In the Era of Sannin

'Fuu.. I passed the written exam. I am glad I ordered shadow clones to study extra for the preparation. This exam was surely tough'

Yuichi felt it first hand how tough the exam was. Although they only had to do 30 questions in 2 hours meaning each question had 4 minutes to solve, it wasn't that simple. Each question had multiple formulae and questions asked in amalgamation of one question. 

But his hard work gave good results, and he managed to make space in the 100 students who moved to the next round. 

There were many cries and voices of denial raging after the results were announced, after all many clans children were out in the first round. But the instructors handled it smartly and sent us to the next location of round 2.

All of the students were distributed in groups of 10 and were sent to the 10 rooms one by one. Yuichi already saw Jiraiya, Orochimaru and Tsunade, and they all were in different groups. 

'Best of luck' 

Yuichi did a thumbs up hand sign to Jiraiya however that dumbhead didn't notice it and instead Tsunade who was just behind Jiraiya in the consecutive line saw it. 

She looked at him with big brown eyes and gave a strange look before turning her head to the side.

'She sure has a attitude of a princess' 

Although Yuichi didn't give his best regards to Tsunade, he didn't expect such a weird response from her. But seeing how her personality was he knew it was just normal from her side. 

Yuichi had few interactions with Tsunade in the past year, and he somewhat understands her personality now. Although he wasn't very good at reading people and his past life was a clear evidence of it. 

Still after so many experiences that he gets, he somewhat understands other people a little more easily. On top of that the amalgamation Yuichi is now, he himself felt strange. He most of the time felt his actions very childish, and the affection he felt for Tsunade was kind of strange. 

Most of the time he disregards such thoughts but after remembering her future looks or when his immature side took over him, he kinda gets lost over simping her. 

'It's okay, it's okay I too am a young man… mental age doesn't matter, age is just a number…' 

Yuichi created a few excuses in his mind. 

Soon his turn came to enter the room. In the room two instructors were present, one was handling some papers while the other lazy looking instructor was looking at him. 

After Yuichi entered the room a few seconds went by in silence but when the other instructor gave a piece of paper to the lazy instructor, the man spoke his first few words. 

"Ensho Yuichi right? Show us 5 E rank jutsus first and then any other special jutsus that you may have. Everything will be evaluated and get graded accordingly so you better do your best. After All this year competition is neck throat and there will be only 45 students who will pass this round"

With a lazy attitude the instructor explained everything to Yuichi, who listened carefully and started to think about what to show and what not. 

"Are you ready ?" Giving a minute to Yuichi, the instructor asked him if he was prepared for the exam now. Yuichi nodded his head in response and started weaving hand signs. 

The room had ample space to showcase any mid tier jutsu, also a dummy was present on Yuichi left some distance away. To showcase any leath attack the participant has to use the dummy as a model. 

Yuichi begins to showcase his 5 E rank jutsu one by one starting with Body replacement technique and ending with cloak of invisibility technique. 

It took him around 15 minutes to grow through them as he had to pause after performing each jutsu and wait until the instructor called out next. 

The instructors sometimes even asked to perform a jutsu twice to get more precise in their grading. 

"Do you anything else or is this it?" Although the instructor's words sound provocative but his sound not. He sounded extremely tired and not to mention there were 3 more students outside waiting for their chance. 

'Man what a tough life.. Let's end the exam with the next jutsu for him' 

Yuichi decided to use his bloodline ability as this will reduce any problem with him using this ability in future and will also ensure his advancement in the next round. 

Also since the second ability of his was a more important one, by showing only one he could keep the other as a hidden card up his sleeves. 

"Yes, I have two such jutsus to present" Yuichi replied and began with his first jutsu which was none other than Body Flicker technique. 

A very famous technique used even by high level ninjas very frequently. The more mastery you have over body flicker the better you can make use of it. 

Using body flicker technique Yuichi moved upwards and then right and left. This much movement was enough to show his level of mastery over the technique. 

The body flicker was although easy to learn but was hard to apply in real life situations. As body flicker works by supercharging your body with chakra to give an instant boost in speed. Usually the speed varies according to the level of the user, high level ninja easily break the sound barrier using this very specific jutsu and even cover kilometers in one swoop. 

However the one downside of body flicker was that it limits free directional movement because the immense speed blurs the vision making it harder to turn at steep angles while using the technique.

Even while using sharingan you either have to reduce speed or restrict your movement, thus making this technique very hard to master.
