Chapter 3: 3 -
"Morning" Ichika went down, and there was his sister making breakfast. She came back last week and since then she has been making his breakfast currently, she decided to take a break from doing C and B-rank missing. She only does a D-rank mission as a way to replenish the money while doing nothing.
"Morning you too, so how was the night?" his sister is 16 years old, so that makes them 10 years apart. She has black hair compared to him who lacks any color, she stands around 160cm and he is 115cm making him quite tall among his peers.
They are two different sides one black and one white. Ichika lacks color even his eyes are white almost making him have a Byakugan, but of course, he doesn't have it.
"Did you enjoy the night?" she asked him as she saw him exercise quite a bit but she wasn't worrying much but as long as he did exchange himself.
"Yeah, can I have my milk?" he asks her for the milk.
"Yeah sure"

"Hello Minato" Ichika and Minato are friends now, they started to train together near the forest of death because there are a lot of trees to practice with and there are also fewer people in general.
"Hi Ichika, so are we training again?" Minato and Ichika train every day but someday Ichika doesn't seem to be well.
"Probably not since we have the exam today" The exam that Ichika talking about was just basically the evaluation of the student's skills.
"Alright, I'm going for the top 1 again!" Minato declared, well actually he's going to get that spot anyway.
"Well, we'll about that"
And then they make their way to the classroom while talking, it has been a couple of weeks now and today is the exam day. The students are nervous but most of the clan ninjas don't seem to care as they predicted that they are making the mark within the top 10 or at least near that.
"Good morning students" the homeroom teacher greeted the students, "I'm assuming you all know what today is, right?"
The students nodded as they were told from the previous week that it was an exam day.
"Good, now let the exam begin," the teacher said and everyone stopped what they doing cause they all knew that this was the exam and not some random play now. Your performance determines how your parent or guardian reacts.
The student got their pencil and eraser as the teacher walked around with the paper and handed them out. This is the theoretical knowledge.
It is divided into 4 categories: Konoha history, Ninja tactics, the Principle of chakra control, and lastly the "Will of fire".
Konoha just mainly about how the village came to but it doesn't include the Uchiha that helped it established, it mainly just how the Senju clan helped while the Madara Uchiha was pointed as the villain for traitoring the village.
Ninja tactics explain what the 'basic' use that can be and how effective it is. In the end, there is a tricky question that questions the students on how should they address the problem if they come into one.
The principle of chakra control is just how the user can control and how they should do it.
Will of fire is that the village is a fire and that fire can never be inquested as long the people have the will of fire.
The will of fire is nothing but a bullshit lie and also it's just some brainy manipulator of the Second Hokage; Tobirama Senju. The third Hokage (Hiruzen's Sarutobi) has yet to implant the village in the future timeline into thinking of him as the strongest Hokage because of the second and third wars. He also erased the history of Konoha and modified it so some keep but more are toward him as the savior.
The smarty Danzo Shimura wants to be the Hokage in the form of being better than Hiruzen's Sarutobi. But what he doesn't know is that he had implanted too much darkness into Konoha.
But of course, the (boyfriend) Hiruzen's Sarutobi would cover it under his authority as the third Hokage. There aren't many Jūnin level ninja that could know anything as the roots haven't been established but some know because the third Hokage and Danzo have already begun their experiment with the first Hokage cell (Hashirama Senju) trying to get his wood released.
None are yet to succeed but one candidate managed to succeed with a small portion, but this candidate will be in the future after the second war.
The ANBU that present are only limited as they aren't directly but they still indirectly cause the extinction of the Senju clan with only two clan members left: Tsunade and Ma.
And the test begins and Ichika and Minato can confidentially that they both will ace this theoretical knowledge like walking in a park.
Most of the students understood but some didn't and they can't be blamed as no matter what, the concept of that thing isn't even supposed to be taught to them. The village of course has one thing and it is to brainwash them.
Within 20 minutes both Ichika and Minato finish it, they both hand in the test and walk out for a walk. The teacher was surprised but after considering that Ichika and Minato had been always in the top score.
"Minato I'm going leave for a while" given that Ichika needs to accelerate his chakra control and also gain more chakra before the time limit.
"Alright, I'll see you later in 2 hours" Minato gave up because Ichika was also like this, he would leave and then come back.
