By the time I went back to the my place, I found both Shikamaru and Uncle Shikaku were waiting for me in front of my house. Apparently, they wanted to invite me to dinner on both me and Shikamaru passing the test.
"Shika, where were you ? Your aunty is waiting for you for all this time, she prepare a big feast for both yours and Shikamaru's passing day, refuse to give us any until you came back. Troblesome". Said Shika'a uncle with a little annoyed look on his face.
Shikamaru was not that different in this case, he too was looking annoyed but that annoyed look wasn't directed at me.
"Ah sorry sorry, I was napping on the hill side, have been working hard for this exam and finally got time I just nap and relax." What else I can say in this situation. I just hoped that this excuse work, considering just how much Shika was like Shikamaru.
They too easily believe this, making me relax.
I gladly went along, avoiding them might be more suspicious after all. All night I kept to myself and tried to act like how previous Shika would have reacted. The dinner was delicious, that I have to say. Anyway, there was a reason why Uncle Shikaku invited me.
"This is the secret of our Nara clan, usually kids learn this way early but for Orphans we wait until they are at least Genin," Shikaku said as he brought both me and Shikamaru outside in the night.
That is when he showcased the Shadow Manipulation of the Nara clan. And here I was pondering whether Shika is the only Nara who doesn't know how to do that. Apparently, not everyone from the Nara clan learns this. Only those who become Ninja or show promise.
There is no scroll or anything, its been passed down verbally from generation to generation. And even if the jutsu leaks outside of the clan, it's not like others can do it. The amount of Yin chakra and control needed makes the jutsu almost unusable for anyone who is not a Nara.
And even if there are people who can, what is the point, ultimately this technique is not that strong, at least not stand alone. There is a reason why the InoShikaCho formation has been so vital and why the three clans have such a good relationship. Without this teamwork, standalone neither of the clans is as strong as Hyuga, or clans which used to exist like Uchiha and Senju.
So, shadow manipulation was another thing which I plan to put in my training regime.

I honestly wasn't expecting this. I thought the system would give me power and then go away. But apparently, there is much for me to do. Well, the missions given by the system are clear enough.
Though many of them are hard to the point of Impossible. Something like Mastering Ten Shadow! To do that one has to first beat Mahoraga.
How the hell was once supposed to do that?
Sigh.
It's clear that the system wants me to get stronger, and even more than that I have to plan my actions if I want to use the system to its full potential.
Besides the promotion list, which kind of gives me some leeway, the kill list is much different. I have to plan who I kill from now on. My first kill in all level matters.
Ten missions altogether in which I completed 1 by becoming a Genin and got Ten Shadow power as the starting pack and then had 9 chances to get stronger.
Among the 9, 2 are almost impossible. Who gonna make a 13-year-old or even a teenager for that matter a Kage? Gaara became the Kazekage because there weren't any options for the sand village.
But there are many people here in Konoha who can fill that place. There is no way I can become Hokage in any normal condition. But maybe if I pull some strings.
Then there is defeating Mahoraga. Yeah, let's just not talk about these two missions for the time being.
Besides these two thought, others are possible, at least to some degree. I should only focus on them.
These missions are also not just mindless ones.
I have to decide who I am gonna kill, at least when it comes to Kill List, I have an option as to whom I go after and more than that, what kind of powers I am after.
The level of my opponent will determine what mission I fulfil, and what kind of rewards I get.
So in case even If I plan to walk in the evil path and kill characters like Naruto or Sasuke, I might not get the better part of their powers because they are still Genins. I have to wait until they are strong to kill them to get better powers from them. But it's not like I am planning on doing that.
There are other people, mainly enemies who I can kill and get equal or better rewards as well. Just have to plan this out.
I know that there are around 6 months before the next Chunin exam takes place. I know because one just recently took place before the graduation.
Currently the land of fire, or to be more precise, Konoha is in an alliance with Sand Village. Meaning teams from both sides join the Chunin exams no matter which village hosts it. In 6 months one village hosts the exam and this has been happening for some time now after the end of 3rd Great War.
In 6 months' time, the famous Chunin exam will take place here in Konoha. My best bet is to enter then to become Chunin.
Hmm, what should I do?
I'm not anywhere strong enough to participate in that, it's possible if I use Shikigamis from Ten Shadows but I don't want to reveal that to others. Not until I am strong enough.
Getting attention because I did well in the chunin exam, is a lot different than becoming someone who potentially has a new Kekkei Genkai. At least that is what others will think if I use any of the Shikigami in from of them.
That the wrong sort of attention, forget what the other villages do after knowing Konoha has another Kekkei Genkai. Even the people in Konoha will be troublesome. Danzo and his Root is no joke. I rather not come under his radar until its not absolutely necessary.
I might get away with it if I act like they are summon beasts, but not more than one.
Sigh, whatever, I need to sleep now. Tomorrow is the team arrangement. I better not be late.

There are 27 kids in the class, out of those only 9 will really pass the exam and become Genin. The chances of your failing is 66%.
That's what Kakashi said in the anime, complete bullshit if I have anything to say. Though there is much truth to what he said but not in the way he said.
First and foremost it's not at all final that only 9 out of 27 will pass. Made that up because he knew that Hokage appointed 3 Jonin to become sensei for the upcoming Genin.
Here is the reality, in name, both experiences Chunin or Jonin can take a team to lead, but nobody wants to.
In a ninja village, the majority of the ninja population consists of Chunins. Becoming Jonin is exceedingly hard and everyone can't do so.
But becoming Chunin in one lifetime, if you are not dead then you always have an option.
So if the majority of ninjas are Chunin, where would Hokage will get a Jonin to lead all the 27 people? Even the Jonin he has under his command has better work to do.
Most Jonin are old, don't think about Kakashi, he is Kakashi for god sake… and by extension thinking about any of the sensei from teams 7 to 10 is a stretch.
The majority of the Jonin are old and have their own family to look after, why would they willingly accept to look after some kids, certainly not the goodness of their hearts? And those who are young, well they are the best of the best, why would Hokage will waste their talents on becoming a Jonin sensei? They directly go into Anbu like Kakashi did or even worst, Root.
'Aka', no one wants to take a team if not for them to absolutely have to, let them be Jonin or Chunin. Its time-consuming, another responsibility on their head and more than anything does not pay well. D rank mission can hardly pay for Genin and their sensei now can it.
So the real question here is why those Jonins like Kakashi, Guy or Kurenai would opt to become Jonin Sensei?
Well here is the simple logical answer, they don't have any choice.
Hokage put them into this work, this especially happens if there is a clan kid or a talented kid in the academy. Then and only then a village will put their resources, 'aka' Jonin, to teach that person or that team.
This year is no different, 3 Jonin sensei for 7 clan heirs, 1 Jinchuriki and to make the numbers even, one random good-scoring civilian girl, 'aka', Sakura.
Hokage personally put them into nurturing this kid, it's also giving face to those clans. This is also a political move as well.
InoShikaCho under his son's guidance and Hyuga, Aburame and Inuzuka under his future daughter-in-law. Yup, it's not a coincidence.
Kakashi only got students who weren't supported by any clan, even though they were the best.
So when Kakashi said that only 9 out of 27 will pass he was right, but with the only exception being that they already chose the 9.
So here is the question, would the village point a Jonin to someone like me?
Hell No.
At best a Chunin but only if I show any promise in the class, which Shika of course didn't. But they can't she that they are not even trying, especially when I too am from the Nara clan. Maybe not the heir but still.
So they pointed a shinobi for name sake, I with two others from the class.
"If any of you can land a hit on me then you all pass, otherwise you all go back." Said a Hyuga clan shinobi with Haughty tone.
Landing a hit on a Chunin is outrageous for academy students, let alone a Jonin. It's almost impossible for me right now. I just learned Shadow manipulation and can't trap anything bigger than a mice. And I am not Sasuke Uchiha to make Kakshi stop reading his Icha Icha in a fight either.
The result, we failed miserably. I even try to play the teamwork card on the Jonin but not everyone is Kakashi Hatake.
"Just go back , you are just wasting my time." Said the man with a sneer as shun shin out of there.
Ami and Utoru, the classmates who could have been in my team if that bastard Hyuga wasn't an A-hole, looked dejected.
"Don't worry, There are many good shinobi out there who don't have a Sensei. Just keep on working and you will make it." I tried to cheer them up.
"Huh ?"
"What you mean, did you listen to him? We have to go back to the academy." Asked Ami.
I can't help but sneer at that.
"Did you see any students who were older than us in our class ?" I asked with a little raised eyebrow.
"Hmm no." Reply both.
"Don't you think so that it's strange if students really were sent back to the academy," I asked with a little smile on my face.
They blink in confusion.
"What do you mean ?"
"Simple, the moment we get this headband, we are the shinobi of the leave, there is no going back, if we fail assessment from our Jonin sensei then we are solo Genin," I reply, making their faces lit up.
This was the truth, even in the academy, the village doesn't want to keep talented less people. I knew this because of Shikaku and I just joined two plus two on my own.
I long anticipated this outcome and honestly, this is more favorable for me. Having a team means I can't use Ten Shadow in front of them, cutting my combat power in half. Another important thing is that I as I am right now can take any D-rank mission I want without any issues and all the money will be mine.
Money is going to be a big issue from now on. Up to this point, the village was covering for me, but no longer.
Now the mission I do is my only source of income. Not a problem for people with Parents but I'm not that lucky.
Though calling myself unlucky would not be fair when I have such a nice uncle and aunt, Shikamaru's parents were really nice to me, and they would not back down to help me even now. But I don't want to do that.
Getting all the money for those missions will give me enough money to sustain my training even if I don't take them regularly.
Have six months to prepare for the Chunin exam, not sure how I will join in without a team but I will figure something out. Right now I only need to focus on training.
It wasn't even afternoon yet and I had enough time left to start with training. I still haven't called out any Shikigami yet. I have to trained a little with them before taking them into a reason mission.
If I am not wrong then I should have Divine Dogs, others I have to capture. Lets start with that. Dogs, Taijutsu, Chakra control and lastly shadow Manipulation.
