It suited his fair skin, black eyes, and spiky black hair perfectly, he thought.
“I should find a time to wear a black mask; maybe then I can play hide-in-the-shadows, haha.”
He looked at himself again. He wasn't tall, but his muscles were well-built.
There was hardly any trace of fat on his body. He was about 1.4 meters tall, he thought.
“Okay, this outfit fits perfectly and looks good.”
He bought three sets of clothes. He also bought a pair of gloves with metal plates on the back of the hands.
He also carved a Sealing Jutsu for “Hardness” inside the gloves. Although it wasn't very effective, Feng Zheng felt that a slight increase in defense wouldn't hurt.
He really wished he could take out the metal plates, carve the Hardness Sealing Jutsu on them instead of the entire glove, and then put them back. But he knew he wouldn't be able to put the metal plates back correctly.
At 7:30 AM the next day, the graduates reported to the school. The classroom used was not the one Feng Zheng usually went to.
A total of 42 students attended. After the teachers called roll, they handed each student a scroll.
Genshu called his students one by one and handed them the scrolls. The homeroom teachers of the other students did the same.
When it was Feng Zheng's turn, he noticed that Genshu was very happy. He didn't know why, but he didn't particularly care, so he went back.
Genshu was happy because Hiruzen allowed him to participate in the Jonin exam!
After everyone had received theirs, a teacher announced.
“The storage scroll provided to you contains a first-aid kit, 24 Shuriken, 6 kunai, 12 Senbon, 1 Ninja rope, and 100 meters of Ninja wire.”
Then he smiled and said.
“This is the last gift from the school to you. Congratulations on your graduation. I will now announce your Genin squads.”
When Feng Zheng's squad was announced, he sighed, thinking.
“What kind of teamwork can a cold guy who cares about nothing but Taijutsu, and an arrogant little girl who thinks she's as talented as Madara, achieve! Alas, it would have been better to graduate last year; maybe I could have teamed up with Senju Teru, who is the only one mature enough.”
He analyzed it again, thinking.
“However, it's not entirely bad. Sparring with Hyuga Hodaka in Taijutsu has always been very helpful. Mieko should be able to give me some Sharingan practice opportunities. Although she is far from Obito or Madara, so am I.”
Then he looked at Mieko, thinking.
“And, since she will die in about two years, it means I won't be restricted in this squad for too long. I'm very curious who my Jonin Sensei will be now. I really hope it's not Kakashi. And what about my reward? Genshu didn't mention it, and Hiruzen didn't call me to see him.”
After the Genin squads were announced, the teacher said that their Jonin Sensei would come to the classroom to pick them up, and then they all left.
As he left, Feng Zheng thought and sighed.
“Naruto and the others should start school next year, right? I'm not here. Alas, what's with me meeting so few classic characters?”
Soon, the Jonin Sensei began to enter the classrooms to call the teams they were to take.
A few minutes after the school teachers left, a tall, muscular man walked in and shouted.
“Team Three, follow me.”
Suzuki Kazemasa, Hyuga Hodaka, and Uchiha Mieko followed him.
Renjiro walked onto the school's terrace. A few seconds later, the three new Ninja arrived.
When he arrived there, Feng Zheng observed his new teacher.
He was about 2 meters tall, very muscular, a middle-aged man with three scars on his face, one of which crossed his right eye, but the eye was intact.
His hair was black and long, somewhat like Madara's. He had two swords hanging at his waist.
From the emblem on his clothes, Feng Zheng knew he was from the Senju Clan.
In fact, there was another thing that made Feng Zheng know he was from the Senju Clan. His Chakra reserves were enormous!
For obvious reasons, Feng Zheng had never tried to sense Hiruzen's Chakra, so this was the highest Chakra level he had measured so far. It was about 7 times that of Genshu.
Renjiro noticed when Feng Zheng tried to measure his Chakra.
He looked at Feng Zheng, staring at him. Feng Zheng just smiled. Renjiro thought.
“This is the child who wants to learn samurai sword techniques, and also the child who wants a sword made of Chakra metal. Not bad, he seems to be a very good Sensor Ninja. Even when I stare at him, he just smiles back. I wonder if this is foolishness, bravery, or shamelessness.”
Then he looked at the remaining two Genin, thinking.
“The Hyuga Clan child has the same cold face as their entire clan, and just by looking at the Uchiha's face, you can see how proud she is of herself.”
He sighed, thinking.
“This will take some time.”
Renjiro said.
“I am Senju Renjiro. I will be your Jonin Sensei. Let's get to know each other first. Tell me a little about yourselves.”
Mieko asked.
“What should we say?”
On the other hand, Feng Zheng recalled the “introduce yourself” question often asked during interviews in his previous life. Renjiro replied.
“Tell me about your likes, dislikes, dreams, hobbies, and so on.”
Feng Zheng then said.
“I am Suzuki Kazemasa. I like swords and cool Ninjutsu. My hobbies are training and reading about Ninja history and wars. I dislike the killing that war brings. And my dream is to become a powerful Ninja in the future so I can bring peace to the world.”
Renjiro stared at Feng Zheng, impressed by his ‘dream’.
Of course, if he knew Feng Zheng's true thoughts, he might have spit blood.
Seeing Renjiro moved, Feng Zheng thought.
“Yes, this is exactly what the Konoha higher-ups want to hear. I don't care about world peace, but saying this will make a good impression on them and give me a chance to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, and also make Hiruzen protect me when Danzo tries to recruit me. Anyway, I can't do anything about world peace right now. So why not say it, hehe.”
Renjiro looked at Mieko. She said.
“I am Uchiha Mieko. I like cats. I don't like anyone treating me like a child. My hobbies are practicing Ninjutsu and playing with cats. My dream is to become the strongest Uchiha ever!”
Feng Zheng looked at her, secretly laughing in his heart, thinking.
“Well, you still have two years to surpass Madara. Rest in peace!”
Renjiro nodded and looked at Hodaka. He said.
“I am Hyuga Hodaka. I like Taijutsu, dislike studying, my hobby is sparring with others, and my dream is to become the strongest Taijutsu user.”
Renjiro nodded and said.
“Okay, congratulations on your early graduation. But this doesn't mean you are Konoha Ninja yet. You will have a three-month probationary period, after which I will decide if you are ready to become a Ninja.”
