Naruto: Mixed Heritage(Rewrite)

For the rest of the year, Renjiro continued with his routine. He used to wake up at the crack of dawn, which was around five in the morning. He would proceed to work out for two hours until seven, where he would prepare himself for classes beginning at eight.

After school, from three in the afternoon, Renjiro would head Back home to work on his chakra nature transformation until Dusk. 

He started with Wind, which recked most of his yard due to its chaotic nature, before moving onto Lightning, water and finally fire. 

Weirdly enough he spent most of his time on wind nature because slicing the leaves became easy and he had to do so to countless ones simultaneously to make the exercise challenging.

After that, he would take a Break, where he took his supper and waited to recover his chakra reserves, then proceed to work on his Ninjutsu. Just like with the Substitution Jutsu, Renjiro had similar success in learning the Transformation and Clone Jutsus in a fairly quick manner.

Renjiro really wished that he could get the Shadow clone Jutsu since it could make his training easier. The more clones he could make, the more experience he could get but sadly he had to work with what he had at hand.

Renjiro was a man, or in this case a boy, on a mission. He wanted to reduce the hand signs required for the three jutsus to one or two just like he did for the great fireball jutsu, which currently required one hand sign. 

He achieved this for the most part as he had mastered the three E-rank Jutsus to the level where he only required two hand signs to perform them. For the clone jutsu, he had managed to increase the number of clones he could make to four.

With the passage of time, the end of year exams was slowly creeping in on Renjiro. Renjiro finally wondered whether to start preparing for exams as he was still engrossed in his training.

'Still 20 days for written exams. It's way too early!' He thought.

Two weeks into the exam, Renjiro finally decided to start preparing for the exam.

Finally, the day of Renjiro's end-of-year exams at the academy arrived, and the anticipation in the air was palpable. The village hidden in the leaves had prepared its young ninjas-in-training with months of rigorous education, both in the practical and majorly theoretical aspects of being a shinobi.

As Renjiro made his way to the exam hall, he couldn't help but reflect on the journey he had embarked upon since joining the academy. The sprawling academy building stood tall before him, a symbol of his growth and progress.

 The corridors echoed with the soft murmur of students exchanging last-minute insights and offering one another words of encouragement.

Upon entering the exam hall, Renjiro was met with the familiar sight of a large, dimly lit room. Rows of wooden desks and chairs were neatly aligned in precise order, awaiting the eager young minds about to be tested. 

The desks were devoid of any materials, emphasizing that this exam was a true test of their knowledge, without the aid of scrolls, weapons, or tools.

The atmosphere inside the hall was heavy, with a mixture of determination and anxiety. Renjiro took his assigned seat, feeling the cool, polished wood beneath his fingertips. 

He organized his writing tools, including a sharpened pencil and a pristine sheet of parchment, ready to face the questions that awaited.

The exam papers, neatly stacked, were distributed with precision. The questions had been carefully crafted to test their understanding of the fundamental subjects that were essential to their development as shinobi. 

Renjiro calmly scanned the first page, his eyes taking in the range of topics from chakra control to the history of the village, combat strategies, and the principles of teamwork.

With a deep breath, he delved into the questions. Each query was a challenge to demonstrate not only what they had learned but how they could apply that knowledge in practical situations.

The room was silent, save for the soft rustling of papers and the occasional scratching of pencils on parchment. The minutes ticked away, but Renjiro pressed on, drawing from the wisdom imparted throughout the year.

As he completed his last response and handed in his paper, Renjiro could not help but smirk.

'My clutch come through as always! I guess copying theoretical knowledge was way easier than jutsus. Some may say that I was wasting the Sharingan by using it on the exam, but I call that effective training!'

The results would soon be revealed, so Renjiro patiently waited for the next part of the exams. 

In the Afternoon, they moved on to the fitness test. The fitness test was basically what they went through during their entrance assessment but with more intensity. 

This was because since all of them had unlocked their chakras and had daily fitness classes, they were expected to have better endurance. 

For the fitness test, the training grounds became a hive of activity, with the young shinobi preparing to showcase their physical prowess, agility, and endurance. 

Renjiro, like his peers, had diligently trained in the physical aspects of being a shinobi, and this was the moment to put his skills to the test. Thankfully, he was in tip-top shape.

The training grounds were expansive, with various stations set up to assess different aspects of their physical abilities. 

There was a sprinting track, an obstacle course, a target range for shuriken throwing, and an area designated for sparring to demonstrate Taijutsu skills. Each station represented a critical skill that a ninja needed to excel in. 

Although they had not started weapon-throwing classes and Taijutsu spars, the students were allowed to demonstrate their skills for extra credit. 

But mainly, this was a playground for the students from shinobi clans or those who took personal initiative to 'read ahead of the teacher.'

The sprinting track was lined with markers, and a group of instructors stood at the starting line, ready to time the students. The skill being tested was speed, which was crucial for both evasion and pursuing enemies.

Renjiro began working on his cardio even before he joined the academy, so it was a walkthrough for him. (see what I did?)

Moving on to the obstacle course, Renjiro encountered a series of challenges, including walls to climb, hurdles to leap over, and tunnels to crawl through. 

This section of the test evaluated agility and adaptability, qualities that were vital for navigating difficult terrains and escaping dangerous situations. 

At the target range, Renjiro took aim with his Kunais, focusing on precision and accuracy. With his Sharigan, this part of the test was made for him as they all struck their marks. 

Renjiro and Siba Inuzuka faced off in the sparring area, their challenge confined to pure Taijutsu, without the aid of Siba's loyal ninken. As they circled each other, the intensity of the match was palpable.

With a display of swift strikes and expert evasion, Renjiro managed to outmanoeuvre Siba. Since he had somewhat gotten used to sparring with Miwa, given that she was largely holding back, the fight was not close at all. It was like taking candy from a child!

The Fitness test capped everything off. There was nothing much to say about it as Renjiro aced it just like the previous stations.
