'The Chuunin Exam? I didn't expect it to be held this year? If it is next year, it will be just right. If it is this year, let alone others, even Menma, Sasuke and the others are still too young.
...'
In the queue, Iruka also shook his head slightly and thought.
In fact, when Sarutobi Hiruzen's words fell, none of the chuunin who had just led the team this year did not speak. His family was still very aware of their own affairs. In the team led by these chuunin
, almost all of them are ordinary people. In the past six months since graduation, they have been performing D-level tasks and C-level tasks. Only a few teams have just started. It is still early to take the Chunin Exam.
Very.
Therefore, none of these chuunin spoke.
Iruka also had a look of "Sure enough" on his face.
Just when Iruka thought this meeting was going to end.
"I, Kakashi Hatake, in the name of Jonin, recommend Menma Uzumaki, Naruto Namikaze, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno in the team to participate in this Chunin Exam."
"I, Sarutobi Asuma, by the name of Jonin, recommend..."
"I am Yuri Hong..."
Just like in the original work.
Kakashi, Asuma, and Yuhi Kurenai all recommended the newly graduated genin in their teams to participate in this chunin exam.
'All three of them recommended their subordinates?'
'They all seem to have just graduated, right?'
'Could this be a battle of spirits?'
'That shouldn't happen, right?'
'I still don't think it's very reliable.'
'Maybe this is genius?'
The other chuunin at the bottom also showed a look of surprise and frequently communicated with each other with their eyes.
Iruka also changed his expression, and immediately stepped out to face Sarutobi Hiruzen on the throne, and said in a respectful and urgent tone: "Hokage-sama, please forgive me for speaking frankly, let this person
I think it is not appropriate for genin who have just graduated half a year ago to take the chuunin exam, so I ask you to think more about it."
Even Iruka knew that his words might offend the three jounin who had just recommended his subordinates, but as a teacher of the ninja school, Iruka felt that he had an obligation to stand up at this time, and he could not really let it go.
Are these kids taking unnecessary risks?
"Iruka-san, Naruto, Menma, they are no longer your students, but official Konoha ninjas, and after the past six months, you should not be aware of their growth, right? As a member of Class 7
Captain, I know very well their current strength, and they are fully qualified to participate in this Chunin Exam!"
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could say anything.
Kakashi turned to look at Iruka and said with a very serious expression.
"But!"
But Iruka obviously didn't quite believe Kakashi's words, so he subconsciously felt that Kakashi and others were trying to subvert the situation and wanted to say something.
"Okay, Iruka, just like Kakashi said, Menma, Naruto and the others are now official Konoha ninjas. They are qualified to participate in this chunin exam. This is important for
For them, it is also a very good training, and the recommendation from the jounin is also a kind of recognition."
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, interrupted Iruka, and said slowly.
Iruka could still have the courage to refute what Kakashi and others said, but when Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke.
Even if Iruka had thousands of words to say, he could only keep them in his heart.
After his expression remained unchanged, he sighed silently in his heart, and could only take a step back, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Hokage-sama."
"Well, then the list of contestants this time has been decided, and there can be no mistakes in the subsequent preparations. Do you understand?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned forward slightly and said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
The ninjas below also replied in a deep voice at the same time.
Following from that.
After finally explaining some other issues, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced his disbandment.
Chunin exam.
This is already considered one of the major events of a ninja village.
In times of peace, the most direct means of competition between the Ninja Villages of various countries is the Chuunin Examination. Through such a joint assessment, they can demonstrate the strength of their own Ninja Village and win more tasks for their own Ninja Village.
This is a major matter that really concerns the interests of Ninja Village.
As the Shadow of a Village, Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally needs to focus on it. Even if most things can be left to the people below to execute, there are still some necessary matters that Hiruzen Sarutobi needs to personally review and handle.
For example, it has been confirmed that the Kazekage of Sunagakure Village will come to Konoha Hidden Village to watch the competition in person in the final stage of the competition, as well as the Land of Fire, the Country of Wind, and the daimyo from some surrounding countries. These people are here.
Sometimes it would be necessary for Sarutobi Hiruzen to receive it in person.
And that is when a meeting was just held here in the Hokage Building.
Menma, who had gotten some time off, headed towards the largest shopping street in Konoha Hidden Village.
After completely solving the financial worries some time ago.
Menma planned to replace himself with a brand new set of equipment.
Not just in terms of ninja tools.
It also refers to one’s own clothing.
Before, he had been wearing almost the same clothes as Naruto in the original work, so it was natural that he was not ugly.
But no matter how you look at it, it feels very rustic.
Therefore, Menma took some time to draw a few sketches of clothing, and made changes based on the Akatsuki organization's fire cloud robe. He removed the high collar and fire cloud part, and changed it into a coat pattern with split sleeves.
It is paired with a dark ninja outfit and slim trousers underneath.
I just took it directly to the largest clothing store in Konoha Hidden Village and ordered it.
Order a few sets each for red and black, white and blue, and red and white.
Today happens to be the day when I was notified to pick up the goods.
After arriving at the store and seeing the finished product, Menma was already very satisfied and put on the red and black outfit in the dressing room.
Looking at myself in the giant floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The corners of Menma's mouth also slightly curved into a nice curve.
Even the clerk in the seat behind him subconsciously lit up.
Menma's background is very good, and he has a somewhat similar face to Minato. Now paired with this outfit, he looks like a beautiful boy.
But it was only for a second.
The clerk lowered his eyes again.
Menma's image among the people of Konoha Hidden Village has not changed at all. It's just because of the forehead protector on Menma's forehead that the people have to suppress their emotions openly.
Menma doesn't care about these people's opinions and senses.
After checking that several other sets of clothing met my requirements.
Menma paid the balance and Shi Shiran left the clothing store.
