On the day of Konoha's graduation exam, Kazumi Che was stuck on the clone technique for the third time, and was ready to swallow the path of "becoming a ninja" back to his stomach.
Just outside the examination room, a sudden attack involved him in a fatal situation - when he ran for his life, he grabbed an empty paper and instinctively "saved" the spell in front of him.
The next second, the scroll became hot on its own, and the seals crawled all over the paper as if it came alive:
What he saved was not ordinary ninjutsu, but jutsu that should not appear in Konoha.
From that day on, Che had a problem that was more difficult than "becoming stronger":
In the ninja world, if you learn a technique, others will think you are a genius;
But you can pocket other people's skills - others will only want to confirm two things:
Are you someone's experiment? Should you be cleared early?
He can only pretend to be a loser and sneak into the team, while using empty scrolls to turn every battle into a game of "calculation and trade-offs":
What to save, what to delete, when to expose, and to what extent——
Each step determines whether he survives to the next chapter.
And when a masked "censor" placed a stack of empty scrolls in front of him, Che realized:
The golden finger he thought was actually the key to a hidden thread in the ninja world.
——Behind the door is power and price.
