"Why are so many people gathered here?"
Shisui said with a smile, “Kuroto-san, did you forget? Today is the day, the results of the previous exam were posted on the Academy Bulletin Board.. Iruka-san should have already shown the results and progress report of all the students yesterday the day after, right?”
Kuroto nodded, realizing, "Oh yeah, it crossed my mind."
Ever since Kuroto became the Head of Ninja Academy, a new set of rules had been created, once a month, the exam would be held, and the results of all the exams would be announced to the public. And it just so happened that today was the day of the announcement, so it made sense that the Bulletin Boards at the Academy gates were very crowded, because all students and parents of some students want to see the results and progress of their children.
As Kuroto passed through the crowd, he turned his gaze to the Bulletin Board and recorded the last name on it, none other than Uzumaki Naruto who became the last in this exam.
It makes sense that with Naruto's strength, he will never be the last, there are many children weaker than him in his class, however, this is what happened here, here, and the only one responsible for this is poor Naruto luck.
In the first match, Naruto's opponent turned out to be Uchiha Sasuke, unquestionably the result of the first match, Naruto lost in three moves. Although frustrated, Naruto has not given up, and in the second round, the opponent is none other than Rock Lee. Although Rock Lee was not talented in terms of Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, and most other shinobi arts, and if the exam was related to any Shinobi Art, Naruto would definitely defeat Rock Lee, however, it was a test of battle.so it was like anything, and Taijutsu Rock Lee's prowess was quite good after being trained by Might Guy, so when facing Rock Lee, when it came to fighting, the result was an unsurprising defeat for Naruto.
In the third round, Naruto's luck was also not good, his opponent was Akimichi Choji who had just been defeated by Neji, although Naruto fought hard, in the end he still lost.
In the fourth round, Naruto's luck is getting better, his opponent turns out to be Kurama Yakumo. However, when facing the sick and weak girl from his class, Naruto felt unwell, he also thought that defeating the ailing Yakumo would make others hate him, she said, so he voluntarily handed the match to her. 'Ah, noble heart...!'
In his fifth and final match, Naruto's opponent turned out to be Inuzuka Kiba.
The two children knew that they should not lose again, otherwise they would come last, and fight fiercely, but the strength of the two children was relatively the same, however, Kiba has the advantage of receiving formal training from his clan, so he is overwhelmed. Naruto with his skills and won the match. In the end, Naruto became the only child to lose in five matches and became the last.
Kuroto murmured, poor “Naruto-kun.” but when Shisui heard Kuroto say this, he found no signs of mercy in his tone, and inevitably asked with an awkward expression, saying this, “Kuroto-san. Do you think Naruto is experiencing too much .. on top of what he is going through if there is another pressure like this.
Kuroto shook her head, "No. She won't give up no matter what!"
Shisui was surprised by Kuroto's trust in Naruto, and inevitably asked, "What makes you so sure?"
Kuroto chuckled, "Because he is Uzumaki Naruto!"
…
In class
When Naruto found out that he was coming last, he was frustrated and immediately challenged the person who ranked first, "Sasuke!"
"I'm not interested in fighting the guy who came last." Sasuke insulted Naruto, then told him to shut up, "Now shut up.." and left.
Seeing Sasuke not accept his challenge, Naruto changed his target, and went to the person who came second "Neji!"
Seeing Sasuke and Neji ignoring his challenge, Naruto shouted, "You two dare ignore me!"
Rock Lee looked at Naruto's annoyance, he walked over, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and said, “Naruto-kun, although we are not as talented as them, we should not give up… Guy-sensei says hard work can overcome his shortcomings.talent and help us pursue geniuses..
Although pleased that someone was willing to entertain him, Naruto was not satisfied that Rock Lee called him without talent, “Lush, do not place me in the same category as you without asking me… I'm not without talent! The White Snake ascetic and Ichikishimahime said that I was a rare genius! They won't lie to me!” he said, then ran away from class.

Office Principles
A few seconds after Kuroto came to his office, Neji walked in with a frustrated expression.
Seeing Neji's expression, Kuroto inevitably asked, "What's wrong?"
Neji bowed to Kuroto, and said in a guilty tone, "Sensei. This time I humiliated you and the Hyuga Clan.please forgive me."
In this month's test, Neji lost to Sasuke due to a small mistake, this was beyond the expectations of many people, even Neji did not expect to lose to Sasuke, therefore he was very guilty.
Kuroto was astonished by Neji's actions, and sighed, “Neji-kun. You don't have to worry about this defeat, you don't have to remember it either, and you certainly don't disappoint me or the Hyuga Clan.
Neji did not raise his head and said in a sullen tone, "You don't need to comfort me Sensei, I know I've let everyone down this time!"
If he lost to Sasuke because of their difference in strength, Neji would not be so depressed, but that was not the case, he lost, not because of their difference in strength but because of the small mistake he made, he said, so Neji could not accept this defeat.
Seeing Neji's attitude, Kuruto shook his head and chose silence.
Kuroto was clear that this was also the result of his actions. Due to the system he introduced in the academy, the current Ninja Academy was no longer the same. The system publicly announced the results and posted them on bulletin boards with the possibility that the whole village saw it exerting a lot of pressure not only on all students but also on the people behind those students, he said, that is their parents or clan. .
Kuroto was very clear, almost all of the Shinobi Clans got strict training from their clans just so that the children would not affect the reputation of their clans.
It was not even wrong to say that these children had now become the face of their families and clans, and when they competed in the monthly examinations of the academy, they did not just compete for themselves, they did not, but also to save the reputation of their clan. After all, no clan would want the children of their clan to perform poorly, as this would affect their reputation when the results were announced to the entire village to be seen.
This is also the reason why Naruto was defeated by Akimichi Choji and Inuzuka Kiba. If not for their clan giving them strict training, there was no way they could defeat Naruto.
The defeat of Neji (Klan Hyuga) at the hands of Sasuke (Klan Uchiha) will most likely be a hot topic of discussion among the villagers, and this was also the reason why Neji took this defeat more seriously than Kuroto wanted.
After a moment of silence, Kuroto broke the silence, “If you feel guilty then train hard and perform better in the next exam. The next exam will be a real-world simulation.”
