Chapter 32 Tai 1's Early Graduation
Kakashi's early graduation greatly stimulated everyone's enthusiasm for learning. From that day on, Taichi clearly felt that everyone was training harder, and even Obito stopped being late for school.
But enthusiasm always fades; laziness is human nature. Unlike Taiyi, no one else has a dashboard to track their progress and maintain constant mental stimulation. Naturally, after more than a week of effort, everyone gradually returned to their old routines. Those who were supposed to be late were late, those who were supposed to sleep slept, and those who were supposed to eat snacks ate snacks.
Taiyi continued his training as always, exhausting himself every day before resting. This monotonous and repetitive routine continued until the end of his second year.
On this day, Taichi also submitted his application to graduate early, which once again caused a sensation at the school. The application was quickly placed on the Hokage's desk. Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the application and simply sighed, "They are all seedlings of Konoha," before readily signing it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was aware of Taiichi's strength. For over a year, Tsunade had been helping Taiichi apply for a hospital internship certificate every holiday. After the internship, Taiichi would occasionally train with Tsunade or Jiraiya.
Moreover, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who frequently uses the Telescope Technique, can often witness the battles between Taichi and Kakashi. Now that Kakashi has already graduated, it goes without saying that Taichi, who is on par with Kakashi, is even more formidable.
The school, having received approval, quickly arranged Taiichi's graduation exam, hoping he could graduate alongside the regular graduating sixth-year students. This way, he wouldn't have to wait a month after graduation for a suitable team like Kakashi did.
Taiyi breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving the assessment notice. After all, once he graduated, he could change his ninja profession. Being stuck here every day was a waste of a lot of professional experience.
The training over the past year has greatly improved Taiyi's strength. It's no exaggeration to say that Taiyi can now deal with ordinary Chunin with ease.

Review: Graduation is just around the corner; the real ninja world awaits you.
Looking at the new panel, Taiyi was pleased, but his only frustration was that Advanced Physical Techniques and Advanced Meditation were incredibly difficult to cultivate. It had been a year, and he still hadn't reached Lv1. Thinking about the future progress, Taiyi couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Fortunately, he hadn't used his previous skill points yet; if it became too difficult to level up later, he would have to use skill points to upgrade when needed.
Time flew by, and the day of the exam arrived. This time, the proctor for Taiichi was still the Jonin Sarutobi Matsuya from last time, but the examiner was a Chunin named Nagashima Hikari. The procedure was the same, but since it was also the day of the school's exams, there weren't many students watching, but quite a few teachers were present.
Taiichi and Nagashima Hikaru, both Chunin, entered the arena, formed opposing hand seals, and the battle began with Sarutobi Jonin's shout of "Start!"
Taiichi didn't hold back and launched the first attack. His hands moved quickly, forming hand seals. In just over a second, the seal for the Phoenix Fire was complete. "So fast!" This was the thought in the minds of all the ninjas watching. Taiichi then spat out 24 fireballs from his mouth, two at a time, attacking the Nagashima Chunin from different directions.
Long Island was already taken aback by Taiyi's hand seal speed, and when he saw the 24 fireballs coming one after another, he was shocked. "Is this still Phoenix Fire? How come there are so many?" While thinking, he used the Body Flicker Technique to dodge to the side.
He had just left his spot when the first set of fireballs struck the location he had been standing in, causing two loud explosions.
"The power of this single fireball is comparable to that of a fireball!" came the teachers' hushed discussion from the sidelines.
Long Island was also sweating profusely upon seeing the power of the two fireballs, but he quickly forgot about that. He saw the remaining fireballs subtly adjust their direction as he moved, chasing after him, which startled him greatly. He hurriedly continued to dodge using his teleportation technique.
The ninjutsu that was launched could even be adjusted in direction; not everyone can do that.
In fact, this was an ability that Taiichi had only recently mastered. When his Chakra Nature Transformation reached Level 6, Taiichi felt that his understanding and control over the corresponding elemental ninjutsu had reached a certain level. Level 6 Nature Transformation was already at the Jonin level, and coupled with his mental strength, which was comparable to that of a Jonin, Taiichi was finally able to make minor adjustments after unleashing a ninjutsu.
Of course, this is just a minor adjustment now. It might scare the first Chunin from Nagashima they meet, but once their strength improves, the power and tactical value of this move will be much greater.
The hurriedly dodging Chunin from Nagashima gradually lost attention from Taiichi. At that moment, Taiichi drew his short sword and used the Body Flicker Technique to block the path in front of Nagashima as he dodged.
By the time Nagashima noticed Taiichi, it was too late. He could only frantically parry Taiichi's blade. At this point, Nagashima's state was beyond chaotic. Due to underestimating his opponent and losing the initiative, he was now struggling even to parry.
As expected, after five more slashes, Taiichi successfully cleaved through Nagashima's defensive kunai with his sword, leaving him wide open. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Taiichi switched the sword to his left hand, stepped forward, and delivered a right hook punch to Nagashima's abdomen. As Nagashima bent over from the blow, the long sword was already at his neck.
"Taiichi Matsushita wins!" Jonin Sarutobi announced.
Despite all that talk, the entire competition actually lasted less than a minute. It ended so quickly that the audience on the sidelines didn't realize what was happening until Jonin Sarutobi announced it, and they started discussing it amongst themselves.
"That's way too fast!"
"This kid is amazing!"
"Long Island underestimated his opponent."
"Don't you think his Phoenix Fire is amazing? He released so many fireballs at once."
"Who can argue with that? The quantity is small, but the power is exceptionally great."
"It's a new technique that has been improved."
The discussions on the sidelines made Nagashima Hikari, who was in the arena, feel ashamed. Losing was embarrassing enough, but she lost so quickly because she underestimated her opponent. Thinking about this, Nagashima Hikari greeted Jonin Sarutobi and hurriedly left the scene.
Watching Nagashima Hikari leave, Jonin Sarutobi couldn't help but shake his head. Nagashima himself couldn't understand the situation and thought he had only lost because he underestimated his opponent. But Sarutobi Matsu could see it clearly: Matsushita Taichi had at least reached Jonin level in Fire Release techniques; what he lacked now was experience and physical strength. Therefore, Nagashima Hikari's loss was not unjust.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Taichi who was walking towards him and said in a kind tone, "Matsushita Taichi, you have passed the test. You can graduate with the sixth-year students of your year. Remember to come to school tomorrow for class assignment."
"I've got it. Thank you, Jonin Sarutobi."
