As Asahi rose to his feet, a mysterious aura emanated from him. However, as he dusted off his clothes with a pat, that aura instantly dissipated, vanishing into thin air.
Without further ado, Asahi walked straight to the front of the hall and gently pushed open the doors.
After the words of the twelve members of the Ogami Clan fell, the hearts of the more than twelve hundred people on the plaza also tensed up in an instant.
It had been over three years since they had prepared for this moment.
Finally, they would soon see the Clan Leader, the master of the Ogami Clan who had the uncanny ability to perceive the world's events through divine means.
Everyone subconsciously held their breaths even Orochimaru and Hanzo without exception.
They might be stronger than the people around them, but for those who had truly witnessed Asahi's abilities firsthand, under the tense atmosphere, they couldn't help but tense up as well.
As the doors of the palace slowly opened, Asahi's figure emerged onto the towering steps.
Looking at the young man dressed in a deep black robe, who appeared to be no more than twenty years old.
Although his face was sharply defined, exuding an aura of composure throughout his body, except for a few individuals, no one believed he was the Clan Leader of the Ogami Clan.
The reason was simple; he was too young. Therefore, the vast majority assumed he was just a disciple of the Clan Leader.
So, the gazes of the crowd shifted back to see who would come out next. However, no matter how they looked, no one else emerged.
It wasn't until the large doors behind Asahi slowly closed that everyone realized: this young man was indeed the Clan Leader of the Ogami Clan.
Astonishment spread across the faces of the crowd.
Though Asahi stood on the high platform, quite far from everyone else, their facial expressions were all clearly reflected in Asahi's eyes.
As for the psychological changes among the crowd, Asahi was well aware. However, he had no intention of explaining because it was entirely unnecessary.
When they grew older, they would come to realize that the people of the Ogami Clan were undoubtedly the longest-lived individuals in the shinobi world.
Glancing at the disciples standing on both sides of the steps, Asahi nodded slightly and then uttered a simple "Well done."
Though Asahi didn't say much, the disciples could still sense his satisfaction. So, the crowd chuckled softly.
After praising his disciples, Asahi turned his attention to the people on the plaza.
Though his voice remained low, it easily reached every ear, as if he were speaking directly in front of them.
"By reaching this point, I believe you all have mentally prepared yourselves for the upcoming assessment."
"Though it may seem cruel, I must inform you all again that out of 1,200 of you, only one hundred will be able to join the Ogami Clan."
"Furthermore, if you fail to meet my requirements in the upcoming assessment, those who remain may not even reach one hundred."
Pausing for a moment, Asahi didn't deceive the crowd; this was indeed his genuine sentiment.
Though his plan was to recruit one hundred individuals, if none of them met his standards, he would rather accept fewer or none at all.
After all, as the saying goes, it's better to lack than to be excessive! Sure enough, the expressions of the crowd changed abruptly upon hearing Asahi's words.
Having long been aware of the limited one hundred spots, they had mentally prepared themselves.
However, upon hearing Asahi's statement that even those who made it to the top one hundred might be eliminated if they didn't meet his standards, nervousness crept back into their hearts.
Because this time, their opponents weren't just the people around them. Their enemies were also themselves.
No one knew what the next assessment would entail, nor did anyone know how to meet Asahi's requirements.
Everything was unknown at this point. All they could do was persevere, and then persevere some more.
Only by reaching their limits, or even surpassing them, could they finally ease their minds.
As the expressions of the crowd became increasingly serious, Asahi spoke again:
"Among you, there are powerful individuals at Jonin level, as well as Chunin, Genin, and even many ordinary people."
"However, you can rest assured that the upcoming trial will not involve your strengths."
"Moreover, I will help you replenish the physical and mental energy you've expended along the way."
"So you can trust that the upcoming trial is completely fair and just."
With that, Asahi waved his sleeve, and instantly, a large number of green light spots, like raindrops, swiftly headed towards the plaza.
1200 people, 1200 green light spots, neither more nor less. And each person's body was evenly infused with a green light spot.
With Asahi's words, those with weaker abilities felt even more resolute. Starting from the same line, they were not afraid of those so-called powerful ninjas.
However, before they could motivate themselves, the moment they were infused with the green light spots, they all felt enveloped in warmth.
They could feel their exhaustion dissipating rapidly. Not only physical fatigue but also mental fatigue. They felt their spirits unprecedentedly clear at this moment.
They had experienced this feeling once half a day ago. Now they felt it again, and this time, it was even more comfortable than before.
Under normal circumstances, they might never encounter such a healing technique in their lifetime.
But in the Ogami Clan, they encountered it twice in one day.
Initially, many people thought Asahi was too young to be the Clan Leader, but with this action, they were instantly awed.
At this moment, no one thought Asahi being too young was an issue. What's wrong with being young? As long as someone has strength, that's all that matters.
After all, the era ultimately belongs to the young. Now Asahi just took the lead a few years earlier.
Is there a problem with that? Unfortunately, Asahi didn't care about the recognition of others. The ninjutsu he displayed dissipated in just a second or two.
But in that brief moment, everyone's condition had returned to its peak and accompanying the restoration of everyone's peak condition was Asahi's final assessment, which followed immediately.
Asahi's final assessment, to put it simply, was simple, but to say it was difficult, it truly was. Because Asahi's final assessment tested human nature.
