Chapter 653 Chunin Examination

Konoha June 23, 1960.

In the Konoha conference hall, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the rostrum, and below him stood the Konoha ninjas who came to gather.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said loudly: "Now, please let the person responsible for guiding the new genin come forward."

Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai and Hatake Kakashi stepped forward and stood in front of the Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked: "As you all know, the Chunin Examination is about to begin. Are there any suitable candidates among the newcomers you are responsible for? The basic requirement is to complete at least eight tasks. Otherwise, it depends on your recommendations. ”

Teacher Iruka stood in the crowd, feeling a little worried. Generally speaking, the qualifications for a genin to take the chuunin exam are to complete sixteen tasks. Now that each class has only graduated two months ago, it will definitely not reach this number of tasks. , so the standards were lowered.

Generally speaking, newly graduated ninjas are not allowed to take the Chunin exam. They have to guide the Jonin for a year of training. Metro asked Li, Tiantian and Ningji to take the Chunin exam one year later. This is normal behavior.

This year is different from previous years. With the help of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce's comprehensive revitalization plan, Konoha Village has been revitalized. The appearance of the village is changing with each passing day. At first glance, the street scene in the village feels like an international metropolis.

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate the heritage and strength of Konoha by holding the Chunin Exam. If the genin of Konoha Village achieved good results in the Chunin Exam, it would also boost the reputation of the people of Konoha. Spirit, conduct a village-loving education, increase cohesion, promote economic development, and compete with the world's powerful countries to host the Olympic Games.

Iruka can understand the Hokage-sama's thoughts. Today's economic revitalization of Konoha is a good thing, but it has also attracted the covetousness of neighboring small countries. In addition, the smuggling problem has not been solved and border frictions are becoming more and more frequent. If we don't declare our strength, I'm afraid it will They are looked down upon by neighboring countries and even treated as fat sheep to be slaughtered.

However, the children's strength is far from enough, and it would be harmful to them to rush into the Chunin Exams where there is a risk of casualties.

Kakashi was the first to speak: "I recommend Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno from Class 7 to take the Chunin Exam in my name, Kakashi."

Yuhi Hong said: "I recommend Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino from Class 8..."

Sarutobi Asuma said: "I recommend Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Choji from Class 10."

Teacher Iruka couldn't bear it any longer, so he took a step forward and said, "Hokage-sama, please allow me to say a word!"

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's permission, Iruka said excitedly: "Although they are all talented, it is too early to let them take the Chunin Exam..."

Kakashi sighed, stepped forward and interrupted: "Iruka, what conditions do you think are appropriate?"

Iruka said quickly: "At least sixteen tasks must be completed. This is also the standard for the Chunin Examination in previous years!"

"Do you know how many tasks Team 7 has completed?" Kakashi blinked his eyes and asked calmly.

Iruka thought for a while and said: "Since you recommended them, they should have completed eight tasks and reached the standards mentioned by the Hokage."

"Teacher Iruka, you have been busy teaching at the ninja school, and you may not know much about the major events that have happened in the village in the past two months." Kakashi showed a proud smile and said: "As of last week, there are a total of Four thousand two hundred and thirty-seven missions completed.”

"Nani! What did you say?"

"The seventh squad has completed a total of 4,237 missions from its establishment to the present."

"It's only been less than two months, how is this possible!"

Iruka couldn't believe his ears. He completed more than 4,000 tasks in two months, an average of seventy per day, which was several times more than what other genin completed in a year. He couldn't help but exclaimed.

"My subordinates are so good and it makes me so nervous!"

Kakashi scratched his head and said: "Perhaps only Chuunin like you, Mr. Iruka, who are dedicated to school and spend all their energy on teaching, don't know yet. This matter is not a secret. Recently, there have been many people in the village. The hot girl is actually Naruto’s shadow clone.”

"Speaking of the number of completed tasks..." Asuma Sarutobi interrupted: "Our class has also reached the standard of completing sixteen tasks, and all sixteen tasks are C-level tasks."

"Sixteen C-level missions!" Iruka was surprised again.

The sixteen C-level missions completed by Team 10 were sixteen beast crusades, all of which were carried out by Nara Shikamaru alone. Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji held Shikamaru's thighs and managed them smoothly.

Shikamaru was forced by Mr. Metro to take the Chunin Exam, but he was too lazy to do the troublesome D-level missions. When he looked at the mission briefing, he felt that it was easiest to conquer the beasts.

Missions to defeat wild beasts usually mark the beast's lair or haunted place. As long as you get there, Shikamaru will step forward and punch him and the mission will be completed.

According to last year's standards, sixteen tasks were required to take part in the Chunin Exams, so Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji spent a week completing the required number of tasks, and spent the rest of the time working day and night. At home, he avoided training on the grounds that he needed to do tasks to qualify for the Chunin Exam.

"Our class has also completed sixteen missions." Yuhi Hong said, her voice a little softer in the second half of the sentence: "Although they are all D-level missions..."

Yuhi Hong was a little embarrassed. After such a comparison, she was the only one with the worst grades. Although she had reached the standard of sixteen tasks, all of them were D-level tasks, and they were still D-level tasks with very low technical content. The average task commission does not exceed one thousand taels.

The genin in Yuhi Bene's class, Hyuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba are all good at tracking, and it is easier to complete D-level tasks.

This time, Iruka was speechless, and he stepped back in a low voice, saying in a low voice: "I underestimated the students, their growth was beyond my expectation.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but smile happily and took a long puff of his pipe. Among the graduates of this class of ninja school, quite a few have shown their talents. The strength of three children from the previous class was gradually noticed by everyone. arrive.

Today's new generation of Konoha is full of talents. They are the successors of Konoha's will of fire. This Chunin Exam is the stage for them to shine.

"The qualifications of other genin to take the exam are undisputed, but whether Naruto Uzumaki can take the exam is still debatable..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly said something that surprised everyone present: "I think it would be better for him not to take the exam!"
