There are 27 kids in the class, out of those only 9 will really pass the exam and become Genin. The chances of your failing is 66%.
That's what Kakashi said in the anime, complete bullshit if I have to say anything. Though there is much truth to what he said not in the way he said.
First and foremost it's not at all final that only 9 out of 27 will pass. Made that up because he knew that Hokage appointed 3 Jonin to become sensei for the upcoming Genin.
Here is the reality, in name, both experiences Chunin or Jonin can take a team to lead, but nobody wants to.
In a ninja village, the majority of the ninja population consists of Chunins. Becoming Jonin is exceedingly hard and everyone can't do so.
But becoming Chunin in one lifetime, if you are not dead then you always have an option.
So if the majority of ninjas are Chunin, where would Hokage will get a Jonin to lead all the 27 people? Even the Jonin he has under his command has better work to do.
Most Jonin are old, don't think about Kakashi, he is Kakashi for god sake… and by extension thinking about any of the sensei from teams 7 to 10 is a stretch.
The majority of the Jonin are old and have their own family to look after, why would they willingly accept to look after some kids, certainly not the goodness of their hearts? And those who are young, well they are the best of the best, why would Hokage will waste their talents on becoming a Jonin sensei? They directly go into Anbu like Kakashi did or even worst, Root.
Aka no one wants to take a team if not absolutely have to, let them be Jonin or Chunin. It time time-consuming, another responsibility on their head and more than anything does not pay well. D rank mission can hardly pay for Genin and their sensei now can it.
So the real question here is why those Jonins like Kakashi, Guy or Kurenai would opt to become Jonin Sensei?
Well here is the simple logical answer, they don't have any choice.
Hokage put them into this work, this especially happens if there is a clan kid or a talented kid in the academy. Then and only then a village will put their resources, aka Jonin, to teach that person or that team.
This year is no different, 3 Jonin sensei for 7 clan heirs, 1 Jinchuriki and to make the numbers even, one random good-scoring civilian girl, aka Sakura.
Hokage personally put them into nurturing this kid, it's also giving face to those clans. This is also a political move as well.
InoShikaCho under his son's guidance and Hyuga, Aburame and Inuzuka under his future daughter-in-law. Yup, it's not a coincidence.
Kakashi only got students who weren't supported by any clan, even though they were the best but still.
So when Kakashi said that only 9 out of 27 will pass he was right, but with the only exception being that they already chose the 9.
So here is the question, would the village point a Jonin to someone like me?
Hell No.
At best a Chunin but only if I show any promise in the class, which Shika of course didn't. But they can't so they are not even trying, especially when I too am from the Nara clan. Maybe not the heir but still.
So they pointed a shinobi for name sake, I with two others from the class.
"If any of you can land a hit on me then you all pass, otherwise you all go back." Said a Hyuga clan shinobi with Haughty tone.
Landing a hit on a Chunin, let alone a Jonin. It's almost impossible for me right now. I just learned Shadow manipulation and can't trap anything bigger than a mice. And I am not Sasuke Uchiha to make Kakshi stop reading his Icha Icha in a fight either.
The result, we failed miserably. I even try to play the teamwork card on the Jonin but not everyone is Kakashi Hatake.
"Just go back , you are just wasting my time." Said the man with a sneer as shun shin out of there.
Ami and Utoru, the classmates who could have been in my team if that bastard Hyuga wasn't an A-hole, looked dejected.
"Don't worry, There are many good shinobi out there who don't have a Sensei. Just keep on working and you will make it." I tried to cheer them up.
"Huh ?"
"What you mean, did you listen to him? We have to go back to the academy." Asked Ami.
I can't help but sneer at that.
"Did you see any students who were older than us in our class ?" I asked with a little raised eyebrow.
"Hmm no." Reply both.
"Don't you think so that it's strange if students really were sent back to the academy," I asked with a little smile on my face.
They blink in confusion.
"What do you mean ?"
"Simple, the moment we get this headband, we are the shinobi of the leave, there is no going back, if we fail assessment from our Jonin sensei then we are solo Genin," I reply, making their faces lit up.
This was the truth, even in the academy, the village doesn't want to keep talented less people. I knew this because of Shikaku and I just joined two plus two on my own.
I long anticipated this outcome and honestly, this is more favorable for me. Having a team means I can't use Ten Shadow in front of them, cutting my combat power in half. Another important thing is that I as I am right now can take any D-rank mission I want without any issues and all the money will be mine.
Money is going to be a big issue from now on. Up to this point, the village was covering for me, but no longer.
Now the mission I do is my only source of income. Not a problem for people with Parents but I'm not that lucky.
Though calling myself unlucky would not be fair when I have such a nice uncle and aunt, Shikamaru's parents were really nice to me, and they would not back down to help me even now. But I don't want to do that.
Getting all the money for those missions will give me enough money to sustain my training even if I don't take them regularly.
Have six months to prepare for the Chunin exam, not sure how I will join in without a team but I will figure something out. Right now I only need to focus on training.
It wasn't even the afternoon yet and had enough time left to start with training. I still haven't called out any Shikigami yet. I have to trained a little with them before taking them into a reason mission.
If I am not wrong then I should have Divine Dogs, others I have to capture. Lets start with that. Dogs, Taijutsu, Chakra control and lastly shadow Manipulation.
