Chapter 41 Exam Day
Early morning on the day of the Chunin Exam, Konoha Village.
Chiba walked into the village as always, and walked to the shop of Konoha extra-large steamed buns as always.
This extra-large steamed bun specialty store called "Konoha Extra Large Mantou" is probably the most diligent place in Chiba other than home.
The owner of the Konoha extra-large steamed bun is a man like a tower, a dark and strong man, middle-aged, taciturn, and he is one of the only two people in Chiba in Konoha Village who will not feel disgusted by him , and the other one is Uncle Yile of Yile Ramen.
"A Konoha extra-large steamed bun." Qianye grabbed a steamed bun and was about to hand over the money. But the hand was suppressed by this tower-like man.
Qianye was slightly puzzled, and looked up at the boss.
I saw that the boss was still silent, with a stern face, a bit fierce, but Qianye 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, and he moved it to the steamed bun next to him little by little, and put it down.
Chiba looked at the steamed bun that was exactly the same as the steamed bun next to it... slightly puzzled.
Is this a recommendation from the boss? The boss is not very talkative... Uh, I am surrounded by people who are not talkative.
However, everyone's exam gathering was about to start, and Qianye didn't care too much, and paid the money after grabbing the steamed buns, saying: "Thank you."
The silent boss couldn't speak, he just watched Chiba leave, and then received the next customer, who frowned at the child who ran away far away, with disgust on his face.
"Boss, I don't know what the third Hokage is thinking, but let this traitor's son take the Chunin exam..." the customer complained.
The boss didn't speak, just doing business silently.
...
This year's Konoha Chunin Exam was held in the first indoor practice field, and when Chiba arrived, he found that this place was somewhat similar to the place where the third trial of the anime Chunin Exam took place, and the statue with the hand seal was particularly eye-catching However, the third Chunin proving ground in the anime is in the Death Forest, which is the training ground in the village.
As for the Chunin Exam inside Konoha, this time there were no ninjas from other countries to participate. Qianye roughly counted the participants, about forty-three, and 87 people participated in the Konoha Chunin Exam in the Naruto era. The situation is completely different.
Vaguely, Chiba somewhat understood why the Chunin Exam was initiated in advance.
Since World War II, Konoha's vitality has been recovering, but up to now, there is still an urgent need for some fresh blood, so the Chunin Exam was started in advance, in order to select some ninjas who can be or will be independent.
Thinking of this, Chiba's heart skipped a beat.
According to the history of Naruto World, now that the Third World War is about to break out, Konoha's upper class may have felt something... But judging from the current situation, it is completely impossible for one's own idea of becoming a "seed" and then being "protected" up.
Even, because he is a "seed" and has the potential to grow, he will be sent to the battlefield to hone his priority. Although he is not an abandoned child, he will experience the most wars.
Thinking about it, Chiba's brows were already tightly wrinkled.
And this is, Hirohiko and Xue Nai who arrived earlier had already spotted him, and Xue Nai called out and was waving at him.
Not only me, but even Hirohiko and Xue Nai will suffer the most baptism of war!
Chiba's heart tightened, but she ran over with joy on her face.
"Not late." Hirohiko nodded to him, and quietly gave a thumbs up, as if it was a great thing for Chiba not to be late.
Hello! I'm usually not late, okay, but occasionally I oversleep!
Chiba was helpless.
"Look." At this time, Xue Nai raised her 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 him, including Namikaze Minato, his teacher Uzumaki Kushina, the referee Homama, and others who were unknown ninjas. Forbearance.
Apart from the few people I know, there are also five or six of these junin.
And at this time, Uzumaki Kushina seemed to have seen them, and quietly shook their fists for them.
Suddenly, the backs of the three of them were sweating.
This posture, let's be clear, if they don't pass the test, they must look good!
"Assemble!" At this time, a majestic female voice sounded above everyone's heads, and then the forty-three Chunin test subjects stood in a row. Standing in no disorder, like people in a team, standing in a row of three.
Chiba stood behind Hirohiko and Yukina, looked at the three ninjas standing in front, and subconsciously took out the extra-large Konoha steamed buns she bought in the morning.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being Sannin! This pressure is not covered!
Qianye clearly felt the oppressive force of the three ninjas in front of him, and he knew all three ninjas, and he was very familiar with them.
Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru!
Konoha's Sannin!
Chiba took a mouthful of steamed buns and began to eat silently.
At this time, Zilai, who was standing in front, also noticed Chiba at the end of the line, watching him eat steamed buns.
This kid...do you feel nervous...
And Tsunade and Orochimaru also noticed Chiba's movements, but they didn't pay much attention, and they didn't organize Chiba to eat. Instead, they glanced at the others and said silently: Under our pressure, we still Being able to keep calm, Mr. Sarutobi really picked some good seedlings.
With a glance, they could roughly distinguish the forty-three candidates, with an average age between eleven and thirteen.
Only one was over fifteen, and the youngest was seven.
Tsunade looked at these ninjas, and couldn't hide his sadness in his heart: It is so cruel to let these children go to the battlefield.
Then, she began to announce the competition rules.
It's very simple, this test is the first test, it can also be said to be a pre-selection test, each ninja participating in the preliminary round will randomly choose an opponent, the winner will enter the re-selection test, and the loser will be eliminated.
In terms of rules, it is basically the same as the Chunin exam rules in the Naruto era. Now Konoha needs talents, and there will be no such situation as a life-and-death struggle.
Moreover, Konoha’s policies have been gradually softening since the three generations of Hokage took charge of the government, tending to a certain rationality. In terms of personnel 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 three generations of Hokage have contributed a lot to the current stage of normal recovery.
While listening to Tsunade's announcement of the rules, Chiba, who was eating a steamed bun, also felt a hostile and vaguely murderous gaze diagonally ahead.
Hyuga Snow Eagle!
Qianye knew without looking, it must be this bastard!
Then, he took a bite of the steamed bun hard, but felt the gravy slipped into his mouth, which was extremely delicious.
this is!
Chiba was startled, and looked down at Konoha's extra-large steamed bun.
It's minced meat! It's still pork chops, topped with a special sauce!
delicious!
So it's like this... The boss also knows that I'm taking the Chunin exam today!
It turned out that the boss wanted to cheer me on!
Qianye looked at the Konoha extra-large steamed bun in his hand, and smiled unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.
