Chapter 14: the Crane’s Tail Counterattack


    "The first exam, I''m a little nervous. I don''t know if the questions are difficult or not."


    "I hope it''s not difficult. If you fail, you''ll get beaten when you go home."


    "It shouldn''t be. Didn''t Teacher Makoto also give us mock papers? Passing is still easy."


    Perhaps because it was the first time to take the exam, many students in the first-year ssroom were a little nervous.


    Worry about the questions being too difficult, worry about not getting good grades and getting scolded at home.


    "Anko, Izumo, are you nervous?" Hagane Kotetsu asked his friends.


    "What''s there to be nervous about? It''s just a small test. Let me pass it easily." Miratashi Anko said with a smile.


    "You''re not nervous? This is different from usual. The results will be publicly announced on the wall." Kamizuki Izumo replied.


    "I''m also a little nervous. I only got 80 in Mr. Hosakawa''s mock paperst time. The official exam should be a little more difficult. I should only be able to get 60 or 61" Kotetsu nodded.


    "My simted score is a little better than yours. I got eighty-seven in the exam, but I feel like I might be sixty-seven this time." Kamizuki Izumo said with a bitter look on his face.


    "No, do you all have such high scores in the exam?" Anko was a little confused. She was so confident that she only scored over 60 in thest mock test.


    "The simted results are all false and cannot be considered real." Kamizuki Izumo sighed.


    "Work hard to do well in the exam. Then the average score will be higher. I heard that if the results are too poor, the teacher may be reced. Then it will not be Teacher Makoto." Kotetsu said what he heard.


    "Change teacher? You can change to another teacher, but Hosakawa-sensei can''t." Anko didn''t want Makoto to leave.


    Although he is the head teacher, not all sses are taught by Makoto, there are several other teachers.


    "Well, the other teachers'' sses are too boring. Only Mr. Hosakawa''s sses are interesting and easy to understand." Kamizuki Izumo agreed.


    "Why don''t we tell the whole ss this news and encourage everyone." Kamizuki Izumo thought of a good way. He read the novels where he had to boost morale before a battle.


    Anko thought this was a good idea, so she stood on her desk and announced the news to everyone.


    Anko''s words caused amotion in the ssroom, and Makoto was their favorite and respected teacher.


    "Everyone should work hard to do well in the exam. If Teacher Makoto leaves in the future and another boring teacher like the Taijutsu teacheres, it will be terrible." Kotetsu took the opportunity to say loudly.


    "Work hard and do well in the exam, and never let Teacher Makoto be reced!"


    "I''ll just tell you that I will look down on whoever fails this time."


    Shisui didn''t get involved, it didn''t matter. He will take action and directly win the first ce in the grade. Students with such results will naturally not change.


    "Everyone, be quiet. The exam time ising soon. Just do your best."


    The sudden appearance of Makoto''s voice made the ssroom quiet for an instant. Everyone looked at the ce where the sound came from, only to see Makoto walking to the door without knowing when.


    "I believe everyone can get good grades in the exam." Makoto said with a smile, and without stopping too much, he quickly went to the ss where he wanted to invigte the exam.


    Makoto was naturally happy that so many students wanted to work hard to pass the exam so that he could continue teaching.


    However, Makoto could only say that they were worried for nothing. Even if the teacher was changed, it would still be based on the entire semester and the entire school year.


    Moreover, the simtion papers that Makoto gave them were actually more difficult than the real papers. Makoto then left to the ss he was assigned to.


    Walking into the ssroom of ss 2, Grade 4, Makoto walked directly to the podium and announced: "Everyone, please be quiet. The exam is about to begin."


    The teacher''s proctor was randomly assigned, and he happened to be proctoring ss 2 of the fourth year.


    "Teacher Makoto."


    Many people in ss 2 of Fourth Year greeted Makoto, and Makoto responded with a smile and nod one by one.


    ss 2, ss 4, not only has Obito Might Gai as his disciple, this ss is also the ss where he teaches more often, so everyone is familiar with him, and with Isamu as aparison, everyone likes Makoto even more.


    "Teacher Makoto is watching here, you must pass this time!" Might Gai took a deep breath, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.


    If you want to choose Might Gai, between the two choices of taking a theoretical test and a formal genin battle, Might Gai would rather choose to fight an official ninja.


    He will graduate next year. If he fights against official ninjas, there might be a wave, and it is not impossible to win. However, for some theoretical subjects, he is too impatient and has nothing to do.


    "Rin, just wait and see. This time I guarantee that you will subvert your understanding of me." Obito said proudly in a low voice.


    "You will definitely pass this time, right? I believe Obito you can do it." Nohara Rin encouraged with a smile.


    Although Obito has said this kind of thing countless times without sess, Nohara Rin is still willing to believe Obito and give encouragement.


    "Try to do what you know how to do correctly, check it several times, and leave those difficult problems till the end." Nohara Rin reminded Obito softly.


    As a good friend, she really hopes that Obito can get rid of the title of "crane tail".


    "Yeah." Obito nodded in agreement.


    Soon another invigtor came into the ssroom. He was Kimura Sugito, the tall and burly teacher from the same office as Makoto. The two teachers in the same examination room were invigting the exam together.


    When the bell rang, Makoto and Kimura Sugito distributed the test papers together.


    Afterwards, the two of them invigted the exam together, silently and asionally, and asionally sat on the podium at the same time and chatted for a while.


    "Teacher Isamu is also feeling very ufortable. It is estimated that the bonus for this semester has been suspended, and there are two big cranes." Kimura Sugito sighed softly.


    "It''s hard to say. Maybe they will study hard this semester and pass the exam." Makoto smiled and shook his head.


    Makoto felt that Obito and Might Gai''s performance this time should shock a lot of people''s jaws.


    "I haven''t passed the theory test even once for three consecutive years. If I were to pass, I should have passed it long ago. The more courses I take, the harder it bes." Kimura Sugito thinks Makoto is too optimistic.


    "Fortunately, they will graduate after this school year, otherwise..." Kimura Sugito thought about how miserable it would be for such students to fall into his hands.


    After a brief chat, Makoto continued to patrol.


    He missed going to ss a little bit. Because of exams, the entire Ninja School was suspended for three days. The first day was various theoretical exams, the second day was actualbat, and the third day was also actualbat, with a decisive battle to determine the grade ranking.


    This three-day suspension of sses meant to him that he had missed practicing several ninjutsu and refining dozens of chakras.


    Fortunately, the apprenticeship was still usable. After the theoretical exam, Makoto gave Obito some shurikens, which he sted with fifty chakra.


    "Teacher Makoto, just be optimistic when the timees. I will definitely use the shuriken you gave me to defeat them all and take first ce!" Obito said gratefully.


    The practical exam is about to begin.
