Chapter 78: Chapter 78: The Second Exam Ends
"Is the Sharingan really that powerful?"
Watching Aomine's departing figure, Sato Masaru walked over to Nara Seihei, still shaken by the encounter.
"No."
Nara Seihei shook his head, then looked at Sato Masaru with a serious expression and said, "It's not the Sharingan that's powerful, it's Uchiha Aomine that's powerful."
"I see..."
Sato Masaru pondered Seihei's words.
Meanwhile, Nara Seihei was replaying the battle in his mind. Whether it was Aomine's precise control over ninjutsu or his split-second decision-making in the face of danger, Aomine had displayed remarkable tactical prowess.
With his high-level battle sense combined with the assistance of the Sharingan, it was no wonder that Seihei was convinced they had an 80% chance of losing to Aomine. That was why, when Aomine refrained from going for the kill, Seihei immediately chose to surrender.
Only by doing so could he minimize their losses.
He had also gambled that Aomine wouldn't take all their scrolls.
And he had been right.
Aomine had only taken the scroll he needed, showing no interest in the other two. For their squad, passing the exam only required one Earth Scroll, so losing one wasn't a problem.
This was one of the reasons Aomine had mentioned the exam being somewhat easier this time. After all, they were all from the same village, and unless it was absolutely necessary, most participants wouldn't go for the kill.
In this kind of situation, teams with more than two members could simply give up one scroll to save themselves when faced with danger.
Of course, this strategy would only work if the enemy wasn't part of an alliance of solo participants, who didn't need extra scrolls. Otherwise, they'd still be forced to either steal scrolls from others or face elimination.
Nara Seihei's thoughts didn't concern Aomine.
Once he had both the Heaven Scroll and Earth Scroll, he wasted no time and headed straight for the central tower.
Five days might sound like a lot, but to Aomine, it was more than enough to advance his training. He had already set out a detailed schedule:
Of the 8,000 chakra points he accumulated each day, 3,500 would be dedicated to training the Reflection Technique. This would give him 21 skill points in that jutsu, which in turn would raise his Sharingan's evolution by 7 points.
On top of that, maintaining his Sharingan for 15 hours a day would consume 600 chakra points, which would give him an additional 3 points in evolution. Altogether, that would give him a total of 10 evolution points each day.
The remaining 3,900 chakra points would be divided among his other skills. He would allocate 2,500 points for the Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, and Genjutsu: Sharingan, giving each of them around 10 skill points per day.
With 1,400 points left, he planned to dedicate 420 points to practicing the Body Flicker Technique. As a D-rank jutsu, it required a minimum of 50 chakra points to gain skill proficiency. Thanks to his level 3 Chakra Control (220/1000), which reduced chakra consumption by 16%, he only needed 42 points. Therefore, 420 points would be enough to gain 10 skill points.
Next, he intended to use 600 chakra points to train the Healing Jutsu, which would yield 7 skill points based on his previous experience.
The remaining 300 chakra points would be divided between Konoha-style Kenjutsu, Uchiha-style Kenjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and further improving his Chakra Control.
In this way, every technique—aside from Great Fireball Jutsu, Dragon Flame Jutsu, and Shadow Clone Technique—would steadily improve.
Even though this might seem like spreading his efforts thin, the presence of his proficiency system allowed him to advance in multiple areas simultaneously. Unless something drastic changed, Aomine planned to continue allocating his chakra in this way.
As for the evolution of his Sharingan, that would have to wait until after the exam when he could see if the clan had any chakra-absorbing ninjutsu available. If not, he would have to rely on his base attributes improving or leveling up his Chakra Refinement and Reflection Technique.
With these thoughts, Aomine unconsciously quickened his pace.
Half an hour later.
Aomine arrived at the central tower.
Along the way, he avoided as many confrontations as possible. When he couldn't, he dealt with his opponents swiftly, wasting little time. As a result, he reached the tower before nightfall.
After scanning his surroundings to ensure no one was lying in ambush, Aomine approached the tower.
Creak—
The door opened, and Aomine stepped inside.
As expected, the place was empty, and the Chunin Mindset scroll that the Third Hokage would later hang on the wall wasn't there yet either.
Aomine paid no attention to such details. Instead, he found a quiet corner and began his training.
To him, the chunin exam was just a formality. His personal growth was the priority.
As the days passed, more participants began to gather at the tower.
The second person to arrive was Uchiha Shisui. He entered only ten minutes after Aomine, showing that the exam posed little challenge to him as well.
Shisui tried to start a conversation a few times, but seeing how focused Aomine was on his training, he refrained from disturbing him.
Four days passed in a blur.
By the end, over 25 genin had gathered at the central tower. When the exam officially ended, the number had grown to 28.
It's worth noting that Nara Seihei's team, which had lost a scroll to Aomine, also successfully passed the exam, arriving at the tower by the second day. Clearly, in this relatively "lenient" exam environment, being smart had its advantages.
Poof—
A cloud of chakra smoke dispersed, and the Heaven Scroll and Earth Scroll in everyone's hands opened up. The sealing technique inside activated, summoning Mashu Tanikawa into the room.
Instantly, the crowd went silent, all eyes fixed on Mashu with anticipation.
Wasting no time, Mashu glanced around and said in a loud voice, "First of all, congratulations on passing the second exam."
As soon as his words were spoken, the room erupted in cheers, especially from the two- or three-man teams.
"Quiet!"
Mashu gestured with both hands for silence.
Once the room had calmed down again, he continued, "Next, you'll have the night to rest. Tomorrow morning, the final exam will begin. As for the location..."
He pointed to the ground beneath them. "It will be held right here. Medical ninja will be coming by shortly. If you need treatment, seek them out."
With that, he vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.
As soon as he left, the room burst into excited chatter once more.
Aomine, however, was thinking about Mashu's words. If the third exam was to be held here, that meant it wouldn't be open to the public.
And that made sense. This wasn't a time of peace where countries displayed their strength to deter rivals.
It was wartime. As the village's reserve forces, the details of the chunin exams had to be kept confidential.
So, holding the final exam here was only logical.
