Chapter 253: Promoted to Jonin, A-Level Authority Received

The next day, the Hokage's office

"Everyone, the number of participants in Sunagakure this time is similar to last time, with 27 people in 9 groups."

"The number of applicants is 21 for Iwagakure 7, 15 for Kumogakure 5, and 15 for Kirigakure 5."

"In addition, there are 6 people in the 2nd group of Kusanagi Village and 3 people in the 1st group of Takinin Village..."

"As the organizer, we must not be lower in number than last time. Now, please start formally recommending genin to participate in the trial..."

Tsunade sat at the head of the table and said solemnly to the Konoha ninjas below.

Suddenly, everyone headed by Kakashi, Asuma, Metkai, Kurenai and other jounin nodded solemnly.

"Hokage-sama, the seventh team is led by Kakashi. Haruno Sakura and Uzumaki Uzumaki, the above two recommended them to participate in the test in the name of my Hatake Kakashi..."

"Hokage-sama, the tenth team is led by Asuma. Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi, the above two recommend them to take the Chunin Exam in the name of Asuma Sarutobi..."

"Hokage-sama, the sixth class is led by Kai. Rock Lee, Tiantian, the above two recommended them to take the test in the name of me, Metkai..."

"Hokage-sama, the eighth team is led by Kurenai. Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuga Hinata, the above two recommended them to participate in the test in the name of Yuhi Kurenai..."

Because of Sasuke's advance notice, Kakashi and others, who had received approval from their subordinates, all stepped forward to recommend it.

But this time, their recommendation didn't cause the same uproar as last time. The Konoha ninjas have long recognized the strength of the few strong ones.

"Then, submit the final application in one week at the latest. Now I announce the list of examiners for the first exam: chief examiner Uchiha Sasuke, examiner team: Nara Shikamaru, Hinata Neji, Aburame Shino..."

As Tsunade spoke again, the quiet office instantly went into an uproar! !

"What? Sasuke is the examiner of the first exam??"

"All of them are new chuunin, and the examiner is Uchiha Sasuke, a special jounin. Although I have no objection to his strength, this is after all the joint chuunin exam of the five major countries. Isn't this too trivial! "

"That's it. If it's just normal, it would be fine. But this time, with the witness of the entire ninja world..."

"Hokage-sama, please consider it carefully. You can let Sasuke serve as the deputy examiner and reassign a senior jounin to be the chief examiner."

[Is this the reason why the reward has not arrived for a long time after agreeing to Tsunade yesterday? 】Seeing the Konoha ninjas expressing their opinions, Sasuke sighed helplessly.

If he hadn't known that these guys were just worried about Konoha's reputation and had no intention of being hostile to him, Sasuke would have exploded on the spot! !

Do you really think Uchiha has a good temper? ?

"It's really troublesome. It seems that you are also under suspicion, Sasuke!" Shikamaru teased from the side, with a playful look in his eyes.

Sasuke...

"Are you doubting Sasuke's inability to intimidate all the candidates and leading teachers, or are you doubting Hokage-sama's arrangements?" Just when Sasuke's eyes darkened and he was about to explode, Kakashi's voice suddenly sounded.

While speaking, he looked sharply at all the jounin and chuunin who questioned Sasuke one by one...

"Although you may think I'm joking when I say this, what I want to say is! Sasuke has surpassed me in strength!! If he can't intimidate all countries to maintain the majesty of Konoha, then except for the Hokage-sama and Jiraiya-sama, No one else can do it."

Under everyone's stunned expressions, Kakashi once again dropped a bombshell! !

"How, how is it possible??"

"Beyond Kakashi? Are you kidding!"

"No, considering Sasuke's achievements in the last invasion, maybe this is true."

"Hiss... Thinking about it this way, it's true. Sasuke's strength has been tested by the four sound ninjas and the Iwagakure battlefield. He does have that strength!"

"Yes, I believe that Hokage-sama and Kakashi would not joke about this kind of thing."

"But even if this is true. It wouldn't sound good to a jounin especially..."

"Yes, are we going to let other countries think that we, the Jounin of Konoha, are unavailable??"

"Ahem... Regarding this, I think there is a way to get the best of both worlds. That is to ask the Hokage to immediately promote Sasuke to an official Jonin."

"Uh, but his theoretical classes and workload don't seem to be up to standard. This..."

"We do special things, things are different now. Kakashi wasn't that strict back then..."

"That's right, the worst case scenario is that I won't be a jounin for the time being, and I'll wait for another two years of training!!"

Under Sasuke's surprised gaze, the Konoha ninjas sent him to the edge of surprise with his authority upgrade.

"Lord Hokage, in order to maintain the dignity of Konoha, please officially promote Sasuke Uchiha to Jounin of Konoha."

"In this way, facing other countries, Sasuke's age and qualifications are not disadvantages but advantages! We in Konoha not only have excellent genin and chuunin, but also super talented jounin."

"Yes, by the way, this will once again show the strength of Konoha to other countries..."

While breathing, Shiranui Genma, Yamashiro Aoba, and Iruka formally looked at Tsunade and made a request.

Suddenly, the whole room fell into silence...

Everyone, including Sasuke, looked at Tsunade with burning eyes, waiting for the final answer.

"Hey... I'm really scared of you... Since you think so, then I agree!" With everyone's expectant attention, Tsunade nodded helplessly under Sasuke's surprised gaze.

She doesn't have much opinion on this!

Brigadier General Sasuke has already set a benchmark, and now this can further prove the significance of Sasuke's existence.

"Then, Uchiha Sasuke. In the name of the fifth Hokage, I will immediately appoint you as Konoha's Jonin."

"I hope you will not disappoint everyone's expectations, and in this joint exam, as the chief examiner, you will maintain and show the majesty of Konoha..."

Take a deep breath, Tsunade turned her eyes and stared at Sasuke's eyes and declared seriously.

In an instant, Sasuke's mind came with a long-lost system prompt:

[Congratulations to the host for being promoted to Konoha Jonin and unlocking the A-level reward authority. ]

[Task completed, get reward: Yang attribute chakra...]

"Yes, Hokage..."

Listening to the two prompts in his ears, Sasuke's calm face showed a hint of excitement and nodded heavily.

Almost at the same time, Sasuke felt that the chakra in his body changed, a vibrant force merged into his body cells, and his whole body underwent subtle changes...

The most obvious feeling is that his pupil power recovery has accelerated by at least twice, and his physical fitness has also improved a lot! Chakra developed again, reaching 25 cards.

Although there was no actual test, Sasuke clearly felt that his chakra recovery speed had accelerated, and Wood Release seemed to have a qualitative change.

[These guys are sometimes very useful! ! ]

Feeling the changes in his body, Sasuke looked around and nodded secretly to the Konoha ninjas who were whispering to each other...

Suddenly, he was looking forward to the next first A reward! !
