Not long after Ye Yue Ling became the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Tutai brought some good news.
The Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki gave in during the negotiations, and after some bargaining with Tutai, the compensation amount was finally settled at 300 million Ryo!
This amount was quite painful even for Iwagakure to pay; 300 million Ryo was nearly seven Asumas!
“Haha, that fellow Tutai did a great job!”
The Third Raikage said with a loud laugh.
He hadn’t originally expected to get so much money; in his mind, 100 or 200 million would have been the most, so he didn’t expect Tutai to actually get him 300 million.
“With these 300 million, we won’t have to worry about money when we start another Ninja World War later!”
While the Third Raikage was celebrating, the undercurrents of the Second Shinobi World War were already surging.

Konoha Year 40
This year, Ye Yue Ling was already 8 years old, and it was time for his assessment.
“You five, today you will undergo a strength assessment and a written exam.
The two combined total 200 points, and a score of no less than 120 is considered passing.
As long as you pass, you can graduate directly.”
The chief examiner was also an old acquaintance, Ye Yue Ling’s teacher, Daika.
“Yes!” x4
“Yo, yo, written exam, strength exam!”
The written exam began first.
Ye Yue Ling had spent months reading at home and had long since known these things by heart, so he scribbled away and finished quickly.
After the exam ended, he saw a distressed Irei and a confident, smiling Kapeti, while Killer Bee and Motoi showed no expression.
“Alright, follow me outside now.
There are examiners at the training ground who will test your strength.”
After saying that, Daika left the training ground.
Just after Daika left, a man with dark skin and white hair arrived at the training ground, carrying a sword on his back.
“Hello everyone, I am a Special Jonin of the Hidden Cloud Village, my name is Daruze.”
“Daruze?
Is this Darui’s father?”
Ye Yue Ling thought to himself.
“Alright, enough talk.
Who’s first?”
Irei was eager to try.
“I’ll go first.
I’ll test him out for you guys!”
“Good.
You just need to last three minutes without being knocked down by me to get 100 points.
If you last less than three minutes, one point will be deducted for every second you’re short, down to a minimum of zero.”
“Okay!”
As soon as Irei stepped up, he launched a Lightning Release: Lightning Ball at Daruze.
Dozens of Lightning Balls were summoned by Irei, attacking Daruze.
Daruze parried Irei’s Lightning Balls directly with his blade, then used Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field, followed by his own Lightning Release: Lightning Ball.
Irei dodged the Lightning Ball and was about to turn around when he suddenly found himself blocked by four Earth Walls!
“Earth Style: Mud Wall”
Subsequently, the water from the Starch Syrup Capturing Field and the Lightning Ball entered the Mud Wall.
Irei had nowhere to escape and was knocked unconscious by the electrified water.
“Irei, one minute and forty-five seconds!”
Next was Kapeti.
Kapeti had learned her lesson and kept moving around, not giving Daruze a chance to trap her.
But Daruze didn’t intend to trap her again; using the same trick once was enough.
This time, he used his broadsword for close combat and quickly defeated Kapeti as well.
“Kapeti, one minute and fifteen seconds!”
Daruze mercilessly gave Kapeti her score.
Kapeti left despondently.
Irei still had a chance; if his written exam score was high, he could still graduate directly.
But because Kapeti’s score was too low—a direct zero—she had no chance at all.
“Kapeti seems to be in a bit of a bad mood, Ling.”
“Forget it, let Kapeti be alone for a while.
Let’s not disturb her; anything we say now will only make her feel worse.”
Ye Yue Ling said indifferently.
Next it was Killer Bee’s turn.
“Yo, yo, this lord isn’t even the grand finale, you fool, you bastard!”
Killer Bee rapped as he went up to face Daruze.
Killer Bee first infused his seven ninja swords with Lightning Release Chakra, then dashed toward Daruze, seemingly intending to engage him in close combat.
Seeing Killer Bee’s seven ninja swords, Daruze suddenly felt a surge of excitement, drawing his broadsword to clash with Killer Bee!
However, although Killer Bee’s use of the seven swords wasn’t as perfect as it would be in the future, it was already starting to take shape.
The seven swords suppressed Daruze’s single blade, forcing him to retreat step by step.
If it weren’t for Daruze’s great strength, he would have been defeated by Killer Bee’s seven ninja swords long ago.
Daruze knew he likely couldn’t win a sword fight against Killer Bee, so he didn’t intend to keep clashing blades with him, especially since he wasn’t particularly skilled with a sword anyway.
“Storm Release: Black Panther”
Daruze used a type of black lightning that took the shape of a panther and lunged at Killer Bee.
Killer Bee barely managed to dodge the Black Panther with a Substitution Technique, but another Black Panther was already in front of him!
One Black Panther after another left Killer Bee exhausted from running, making it impossible for him to get close to Daruze!
Finally, after running for a long time, Daruze found an opening when Killer Bee was exhausted, ending the battle by hitting him with a Black Panther!
“Killer Bee, 7 minutes and 55 seconds, full marks.”
Daruze gave the result of the duel.
Next was Motoi; he lasted one minute and fifty-five seconds, slightly better than Irei.
The last to appear was Ye Yue Ling.
“Ling, you must be careful of the Storm Release.
Just last for three minutes; there’s no need to push yourself like Killer Bee did.
Three minutes is already full marks!”
Motoi said, looking at Killer Bee who was still unconscious on the ground.
“Okay, I definitely won’t overdo it.”
Ye Yue Ling said with a smile.
“Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Activate.”
The current Lightning Release Chakra Mode was no longer the partial coverage from before; it was now a full-body shroud.
“Ye Yue Ling, I know you are a genius of the Hidden Cloud Village, so try and see if you can defeat me.”
Daruze’s gaze sharpened as he immediately released his Storm Release!
“Storm Release: Laser Circus”
Multiple powerful beams of laser light, formed from water vapor, shot from Daruze’s hands toward Ye Yue Ling!
Relying on the high movement speed granted by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Ye Yue Ling dodged these Storm Release light pillars.
However, with a hand seal from Daruze, these Storm Release light pillars turned around and continued to track Ye Yue Ling.
Watching the lasers constantly chasing him, Ye Yue Ling knew that just stalling like this wouldn’t work.
So, he condensed a Chidori in his hand.
The Chidori slammed hard into the Storm Release light pillars; the pillars and the Chidori exploded, canceling each other out!
But during this time, Daruze hadn’t just been watching.
He released a Water Release followed by a Lightning Release, attempting to knock Ye Yue Ling unconscious with electrified water.
Ye Yue Ling had long been prepared for this and used Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique to neutralize the Water Release!
“Try my newly developed Ninjutsu.”
“Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear”
The Chidori in Ye Yue Ling’s hand turned into a long-range piercing attack that sliced across the ground, instantly tearing a crack in the earth.
“Is that another A-rank Ninjutsu?
And an advanced version of Chidori?
This looks like trouble.”
Daruze scratched his head while dodging the Chidori Sharp Spear’s attack.
But Ye Yue Ling clearly didn’t want to let Daruze dodge it.
After all, the Chidori Sharp Spear consumed a lot of Chakra; even if he had the Eight-Tails, he couldn’t afford to release it like a continuous laser.
“Earth Style: Mud Wall”
A wall rose up, but under the attack of Ye Yue Ling’s Chidori Sharp Spear, it was quickly sliced into two pieces.
But it was enough.
After the Chidori Sharp Spear pierced the Mud Wall, Ye Yue Ling struck the ground in front of Daruze with it, indicating that he had won!
However, just as he was about to stop the Chidori Sharp Spear, he discovered that Daruze had already circled behind him!
“You really are too strong.
If it weren’t for my greater experience, it’s hard to say who would have won.”
Daruze said with emotion.
It turned out that just now, when Ye Yue Ling broke the Mud Wall, that Daruze wasn’t the main body anymore.
He had secretly used a clone to distract Ye Yue Ling’s gaze, while the main body had long since reached the back, prepared to deliver a finishing blow to Ye Yue Ling!
“Ye Yue Ling, 15 minutes and 36 seconds.”
“Though this time doesn’t seem to have much meaning anymore.”
Daruze scratched his head.
“After all, I almost lost.”
Afterward, the total scores were released.
“Irei 35+60, Fail.”
“Kapeti 0+80, Fail.”
“Motoi 45+80, Pass.”
“Killer Bee 100+60, Pass.”
“Ye Yue Ling 100+80, Pass.”
“Alright, from now on, you are my team members!”
Daruze gave a bear hug to Killer Bee, Ye Yue Ling, and Motoi.
“Come on, to celebrate getting such three great students, I’ll treat you to barbecue.”
And so, after the exam, Killer Bee, Motoi, and Ye Yue Ling successfully graduated and formed a squad, with Daruze as their captain.
