After the competition, of course, there was a simple yet grand award ceremony.
Except for Tetsuka who was still unconscious, the top eight contestants all came to the stage to receive praise and awards from the Hokage.
The top eight will get 150 points, the top four will get 200 points, the runner-up will get 300 points, and the champion will get 500 points.
The Sandaime praised everyone and handed out certificates that could be exchanged for points.
Soon it was Obito's turn. He was holding his head high, looking very proud, as if he was the first place.
The Sandaime also said happily upon seeing this:
"Obito, you really impressed me this time."
"To be able to master the breathing technique to this level in such a short time, it must have taken a lot of hard work."
The word "hard work" cannot be used to describe the inhumane torture I have suffered!
Obito really wanted to complain like this.
But Teacher Hideki was watching with a smile not far away, so he didn't dare to complain. He just acted like himself and said smugly:
"No, no!"
"I am a genius. As long as I work hard, nothing can stump me!"
The Sandaime was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said:
"Very good. Young people should have this kind of drive to take on responsibilities."
"In that case, the final exam will be in a few days. I will look forward to the performance of a genius like you, Obito..."
Obito's smile froze instantly. Even if he accepted the award certificate worth 200 points, it didn't feel good anymore...
Then there is Asma who is the runner-up.
The father and son first stared at each other awkwardly, and it was obvious that they were somewhat awkward in their usual interactions.
Fortunately, the Sandaime recalled Hideki's previous reminder and knew not to be stingy with praise for Asuma for fear of making him proud.
So he relaxed a little, nodded with satisfaction and said,
"Asuma, you performed very well. You are worthy of being my son."
Asuma had been prepared to endure his father's nagging, but he didn't expect to hear these words.
Caught off guard, he felt his nose getting a little sour...
But he still forced himself to hold back the gazes from all around him, and then pretended not to care and said,
"Dad, your requirements are too low."
"I'll wait until I win the championship next time before I say that."
"The champion this time is Shisui, don't keep him waiting too long."
After saying that, he snatched the certificate directly, then jumped off the stage to talk to Kurenai.
Because of his previous behavior of daring to admit defeat, Kurenai looked at him with some admiration and gave him a slightly better look.
But this made Asma feel like he had found a treasure. His expression was full of joy. Perhaps he had already decided what the child's future name would be.
This made the Sandaime, who was still secretly observing him, speechless. He felt that the difference in treatment was too obvious.
But now he could only shake his head and smile, then came to Shisui's front.
"Hokage-sama," Shisui said respectfully.
The Sandaime stared at the child with nostalgia.
Although he is a genius of the Uchiha clan, he does not have the arrogance and paranoia of the Uchiha clan.
Even after awakening the Sharingan, his humble and upright character remained unchanged.
Kagami, your grandson really looks a lot like you.
If you hadn't died accidentally, the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan wouldn't be so strained now...
The Sandaime shook his head slightly, temporarily suppressing the thoughts that emerged in his mind, and said to Shisui with a kind face:
"Come to think of it, this is the first time we've spoken to each other."
"But I've heard that Kagami's grandson is a genius who is no less talented than him. Now it seems that his reputation is well-deserved."
"Five hundred championship points are a lot this time, Shisui, what are you going to do with them?"
Hearing this, Shisui subconsciously looked at Fugaku in the audience.
Fugaku was delighted when he saw this, knowing that this was a good opportunity for Shisui to establish a good relationship with the Hokage.
So he nodded slightly, signaling Shisui to say that once he collected enough points at the end of the term, he wanted to redeem the reward that the Hokage-sama would personally instruct.
This way, the Hokage will be proud, and it will be difficult for him to refuse or be perfunctory about Shisui's advice later.
However, after a moment's hesitation, Shisui said:
"My water breathing method still has many imperfections..."
"So I plan to use these points to ask Mr. Hideki continues to guide my training during the holidays."
Fugaku was a little surprised when he heard this, and then looked at Shisui with a serious expression.
Did the child not understand his signal, or did he do it on purpose?
Could it be that Elder Setsuna succeeded and changed Shisui's mind through the illusion?
In fact, Fugaku's guess was not wrong.
Even though Shisui knew that it was an illusion, he still couldn't get over the scene where the Hokage coldly gave the order to exterminate the clan.
It is true that the personalities of many characters in the illusion are very lifelike. Even if they are mixed with Elder Setsuna's prejudice, they still have a certain reference value.
So he thought he had to observe further.
The kind-hearted Hokage in front of him and the cold and ruthless Hokage, which one is the other's true face?
The Sandaime didn't know that his reputation was damaged, and he didn't know that his casual question would cause so much speculation between the two.
After some more words of encouragement to Shisui, he handed Shisui the prize for the Tournament Champion.
Due to Hideki's bad taste, the reward was actually a championship gold belt with an exaggerated appearance.
And when Shisui reluctantly put on the obviously too-large belt, it began to emit a golden glow...
Shisui was a little amused and confused by this, while Hideki was having a hard time holding it in, trying hard not to roll on the ground holding his stomach.
On the contrary, the audience who had never seen the world were amazed and applauded.
The students, represented by Obito, were drooling with envy.
They all beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting why they had not worked harder before.
Otherwise, this gold belt that is so cool that you don't even need to turn on the light when you go out at night might belong to them...
Seeing this, Hideki lamented that the children's aesthetic taste needs to be improved, and at the same time he thought:
"It seems that the glowing belt is quite popular. Maybe it would be worth selling it in a toy store."
"The question is what kind of movie or TV series should be used to promote it..."
But before he could think about it, many ninja parents had pulled him aside and surrounded him.
"Hideki, what are the rules for promoting this breathing method? Are you still short of testers?"
"I didn't expect that in addition to wind jutsu, breathing techniques could also be combined with water jutsu to produce such a strong effect. Have you developed breathing techniques with other attributes?"
Apparently Shisui's flowing water breathing method made them realize the infinite possibilities of breathing methods.
Although for now the breathing method is just the icing on the cake for them.
But with Hideki's amazing inventive talent, I believe that the breathing method will bring them even greater surprises in the near future.
So they certainly would not miss this opportunity, and tried to let themselves or the children in the tribe start learning breathing techniques as early as possible to avoid falling behind others.
Even Inuzuka Jaw joined in the fun and said,
"Hideki, do you think I still have a chance?"
Hideki looked back and confirmed that it was not a cliff, then he said unhappily:
"No, go go go!"
"This breathing method is still in the development stage. It is not very effective for adult ninjas, especially those of your clan with good physical talents."
"I can't even teach my own students, so how can I have the time to teach you this in the Land of Thunder?"
He said this not only to Senior Jaw, but also to many adults around him, and finally persuaded a group of people to withdraw.
Inuzuka Jaw seemed to have known this for a long time, and pushed Inuzuka Hitomi who was beside him forward and said:
"What about my little Hitomi? She must be very talented in breathing techniques!"
Hitomi followed suit and took the puppy out of her hair and said,
"What about my Pochi? He must have a talent for breathing techniques!"
"Once it learns the orc clone and human-beast hybrid transformation, it will be no different from what I learned. I am so smart."
"Oh, by the way, it can also learn the luminous ninjutsu."
The puppy Pochi was trembling, feeling that he was under pressure that he shouldn't have to endure at his age.
Even Hideki, the black-hearted capitalist, was speechless and wanted to complain:
"Pochi is not a real person, but you are a real dog."
But after thinking about it, Hideki decided to give up.
God knows if this is a compliment to the Inuzuka clan...
