One and a half year has passed since I awakened my chakra. Right now, Naruto and I are standing in a line to take an entrance exam of the Ninja academy.

There are a lot of civilians kids standing in the line, but I don't see any kids from Noble houses. I guess they can directly enter the Academy without taking the test.

The test is really simple, They check how much chakra you have, and depending on that they give you 0-30 points.

If you can sense your chakra then u get 30+ points regardless of the amount of chakra you have. If you have basic control over it then you get 40+ points. If you can perform some Jitsu and have a high amount of chakra as well as high chakra control then you get 50 points which is the max.

Then they check your physical strength. They keep weights ranging from 10-100 kg and depending on the amount of weight you can lift they will give you points. If you lift 100 kg then you get 50 points which is the max.

Also, you can't use chakra during the physical test. If you get a total of 50 points then you pass.

If you have some other special talent like weapon mastery or you have exceptional intelligence, then you can take a test for your special talent, and based on your performance they will let you pass.

A lot of civilian kids couldn't pass the test. But I already expected that. Without some sort of training, a normal 7-8 years old kids can't pass the test.

After waiting for some time it was finally my turn.

The examiner looked at me and asked. "What's your name?"

"Ruki Sato"

"Can you sense your chakra, and don't try to lie to me."

I just went near a tree and started walking towards the top. The civilian kids, as well as the examiners, were surprised. After all, even the kids from noble houses didn't have such high chakra control.

The examiner looked at me and gulped. "Do you know some jutsu?"

I shook my head. "No sir, not yet."

"Ok, come here I will check how much chakra you have."

He sent a bit of his chakra inside my body to check the amount of chakra I have.

"Average Chakra reserves. Mmm, you get 47 points, if you had more chakra and knew some ninjutsu then I would have given you 50 points.

For one and a half years I have been doing a lot of chakra control exercises. And I would always purposefully drain my chakra and refill it to increase my chakra reserve.

After doing that for 1 and a half years, my chakra is finally equal to that of an average 8-year-old kid.

'Sigh, it's really depressing to think about.'

"Now, go over there for your physical examination."

I went to where the examiner pointed and saw stone balls of different sizes and weights. Since they were circular it would be even harder to lift them.

I went over to the biggest ball which was 100 kg or 220 pounds. All of them looked surprised when they saw me standing in front of the biggest ball.

The examiner raised his eyebrows a little. "You are not allowed to use chakra during physical examination."

I looked back at him and smiled. "I know."

I grabbed the big ball and lifted it above the ground. Then I slowly pushed the ball above my head. I held the ball in that position for a couple of seconds and threw it back to the ground.

The examiner's jaw dropped when he saw that.

"Sir, how many points did I get."

He came back to his senses when he heard my voice.

"Ruki Sato, Chakra examination 47 points and physical examination 50 points. Total points 97. You passed with flying colors. The classes start tomorrow so don't be late."

I nodded my head and went towards the crowd of people who were watching the tests. Most of them were looking at me with admiration. After all, I was a civilian, and my performance made them proud.

It was Naruto's turn after me. Naruto went up to the examiner and said his name.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

The people in the crowd immediately started to gossip when they saw Naruto take the test.

"What is that monster doing here?"

"Right, he shouldn't be allowed to study in the academy."

"He is a threat to our kids"

I glared at all of them and shouted. "If you say one more word I will rip all of your tongues out of your throat."

All of the civilians who were gossiping immediately became quiet and looked at me with, fear and anger.

The chunin shinobi who was present on the examination heard my shout and came there to stop things from escalating any further.

"Everyone, please stay quiet and don't create any trouble."

The examiner asked Naruto if he could sense chakra and Naruto did the same thing I did. He went over to the nearest tree and started running on it.

The examiner was surprised again. "Ok come here, I will check your chakra reserves."

The examiner sent a bit of chakra inside Naruto's body. His face disfigured as soon as he did that.

"Jo..jonin level chakra reserve at the very least. Do you know any jutsu?"

Naruto shook his head.

"You get 49 points. Now go take your physical test."

I sighed when I heard that. Naruto won't let me hear the end of it now that he has got more points than me. He hasn't taken the physical exam yet, but I know he is gonna get the full 50 points.

Even though we were focused on chakra control for the last year and a half, it doesn't mean we completely ignored training our body.

And like I guessed Naruto went in front of the same rock I did and picked it up.

The examiner was surprised again and he murmured "Where did these two monsters come from."

"Naruto Uzumaki, chakra examination 49 points, Physical examination 50 points, total points 99."

Naruto came towards me with a big smile on his face. I could feel the headache coming just by looking at his smile.

Somewhere else in Konoha,

"Ohh, So the jinchuriki and a civilian both got over 90 points. Hiruzen won't let me touch the jinchuriki so keep an eye on the civilian kid."
