Early morning on the day of the Chunin Exam, Konoha Village. Summit 23S.

Fastest update

Chiba walked into the village as always, and walked to the Konoha extra-large steamed bun shop as always.

This extra-large steamed bun specialty store called "Konoha Extra-large Steamed Bun" is probably the place where Ye Yu works the most diligently besides home.

The boss of Konoha's extra-large steamed buns is a man as tall as an iron tower. He is a dark, muscular man who is middle-aged and taciturn. He is one of the only people in Konoha Village who does not dislike him among the ordinary people.

, the other one is Uncle Ichiraku from Ichiraku Ramen.

"A Konoha extra-large steamed bun." Chiba grabbed a steamed bun and was about to hand over the money, but his hand was held down by this man who looked like an iron tower.

Qianye was slightly confused and looked up at the boss.

The boss was still silent, with a straight face and a rather sinister expression. Chiba didn't care, because the boss basically had this expression three hundred and sixty-five days a year.

Then, he felt his hand being picked up by the boss, moved to the bun next to him little by little, and put it down.

Ye Yu looked at the steamed bun that was exactly the same as the steamed bun next to him... slightly confused.

Is this a recommendation from the boss? The boss doesn't like to talk much... Well, I'm surrounded by people who don't like to talk.

However, the exam gathering was about to begin, so Chiba didn't care much. After grabbing the steamed buns, he paid and said, "Thank you."

The silent boss couldn't speak. He just watched Chiba leave and then received the next customer. This customer frowned and looked at the child who ran away far away, with disgust on his face.

"Boss, I don't know what the Third Hokage was thinking, but he actually let this traitor's son take the Chunin Exam..." the customer complained.

The boss didn't speak, he just went about his business silently.

…

This year's Konoha Chuunin Examination was held at the first indoor training ground. When Chiba arrived, he found that this place was somewhat similar to the place where the third test of the anime Chunin Examination took place. The statue with the hand seals was particularly eye-catching.

, but the third Chunin proving ground in the anime is in the Forest of Death, which is the training ground in the village.

As for the Chunin Exam within Konoha, no ninjas from other countries participated this time. Chiba roughly counted the participants, about forty-three, compared with the 87 people from Konoha who participated in the Chunin Exam during the Naruto era.

The situation is completely different.

Vaguely, Chiba understood why the Chunin Examination was launched in advance.

Although Konoha's vitality has been recovering since World War II, it is still in urgent need of some fresh blood, so the Chuunin Examination has been started in advance in order to select some ninjas who can, or will soon, be able to do their own thing.

Thinking of this, Qianye's heart skipped a beat.

According to the history of the Naruto world, the Third War is about to break out, and the upper echelons of Konoha may have felt something... And judging from the current situation, the idea of ​​becoming a "seed" and then being "protected" is completely impossible to realize.

Already.

In fact, because he is a "seed" and has the potential to grow, he will be sent to the battlefield first for training. Although he is not an abandoned child, he will experience the most fire.

Thinking about it, Qianye's brows were already frowning tightly.

And this time, Hirohiko and Yukina, who had arrived early, had discovered him. Yukina called out and waved to him.

Not only me, but also Hirohiko and Yukina will suffer the most baptism of war!

Qianye's heart tightened, but she ran over with a look of joy on her face.

"Not late." Hongyan nodded to him and gave a thumbs up quietly, as if it was a great thing for Chiba not to be late.

Hey! I'm usually not late, I just oversleep occasionally!

Chiba was helpless.

"Look." At this time, Xuena raised his head and glanced at the spectator seats on the second floor.

Chiba also looked up and found that there were already many ninjas standing above. The ones he knew were Namikaze Minato, his teacher Uzumaki Kushina, the referee Kaima, and the others were some unknown ninjas. They were probably all powerful.

In Jounin.

Excluding the few I know, there are five or six jounin.

At this time, Uzumaki Kushina seemed to have seen them, and quietly shook their fists.

Suddenly, the three of them were sweating on the backs of their heads.

This posture, obviously, does not pass the test, it is necessary for them to look good!

"Assemble!" At this time, a rather majestic female voice sounded above everyone's heads, and then the forty-three Chuunin Exam subjects stood in a row. Those in a team stood in a row, and those without a team also stood in a row.

There was no confusion in standing, just like people in a team, standing in a line of three.

Chiba stood behind Hirohiko and Yukina, looking at the three ninjas standing in front, and subconsciously took out the Konoha extra-large steamed buns he bought in the morning.

He is truly worthy of being a Sannin! This pressure cannot be overshadowed!

Chiba could clearly feel the pressure from the three ninjas in front of him, and he knew all three ninjas and was familiar with them.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru!

The Sannin of Konoha!

Qianye took a bite of the steamed bun and started eating it silently.

At this time, Jiraiya, who was standing in the front, noticed Chiba at the end of the team and saw how he was eating steamed buns.

This kid...does he feel nervous...?

Tsunade and Orochimaru also noticed Chiba's movements, but they didn't pay much attention, and they didn't stop Chiba from eating. Instead, they glanced at the others and said silently: Under our pressure, what's going on?

Being able to stay calm, Sarutobi-sensei really picked some good candidates.

At this glance, they could roughly distinguish the forty-three candidates, with an average age between eleven and thirteen years old.

There is only one over fifteen years old, and the youngest is only seven years old.

Tsunade looked at these ninjas and couldn't hide the sadness in her heart: It's so cruel to let these children go to the battlefield.

Then, she began to announce the rules of the competition.

It's very simple. This test is the first test, which can also be said to be a pre-selection test. Every ninja participating in the preliminaries will randomly select an opponent. The winner will enter the re-selection test, and the loser will be eliminated.

In terms of rules, they are basically similar to the rules of the Chunin Examination in Naruto's era. Now that Konoha is in need of talents, there will be no such situation as a life-and-death fight.

Moreover, Konoha's policies have been softening and tending to a certain rationality since the Third Hokage took charge. In terms of talent training, a series of measures have also begun to be improved. It can be said that Konoha Village can get out of World War II so quickly.

The third generation of Hokage played an important role in entering the current normal recovery stage.

While listening to Tsunade's announcement of the rules, Chiba, who was chewing a steamed bun, also felt the hostile and vaguely murderous eyes diagonally in front of her.

Hyuga Snow Eagle!

Chiba knew without looking that it must be this bastard!

Then, he took a hard bite of the steamed bun, and felt the meat juice sliding into his mouth, which was extremely delicious.

this is!

Chiba was startled and looked down at Konoha's extra-large steamed bun.

It's meat filling! It's pork chop, with special sauce poured on it!

delicious!

So that's it...the boss also knows that I'm taking the chuunin exam today!

It turns out that the boss wants to cheer me up!
Chapter completed!
