After the exam, Shota Sarutobi and Haruyu Yuhi walked out of the exam room.
Upon arriving at the meeting point, the relaxed expressions on Sarutobi Shota and Yuhi Haru's faces showed that they had easily passed the written test.
Upon arriving at the meeting point, Shota said to Hatake Kaede, "Wow, Kaede, do you know how much of a shock your early submission caused in our exam hall?So many people are privately cursing you for being inhuman, inhuman!"
Yuhi Haru was also surprised, not expecting that Hatake Kaede would hand in his paper early.
"Can I hand in my paper early?I should have done so.I wasted an hour in the exam room."
Hatake Kaede said, "Anyway, there's no rule against handing in the paper early.Let's go, let's go eat!We still have a practical assessment this afternoon!"
After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, the three went to the training ground to check their scores.
The training ground was already bustling with noise.Those who failed the test complained and were dejected, while those who passed beamed with joy and relief.It truly was a microcosm of life.
The three of them squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the report card.
As expected, all three passed the test.They then headed towards the training ground for the practical assessment.
Upon arriving at the training ground, the three boys encountered Yuhiru Haru, who was waiting for them.Seeing their instructor, the three boys were somewhat surprised and a little guilty.
Don't forget, they just emptied Yuhi Teruharu's wallet a few days ago.That wasn't exactly honorable, so the three little ones are still a bit guilty.
Yuhi Teruharu walked up to the three of them with a dark expression, just about to say something.
Shota Sarutobi and Hatake Kaede exchanged a glance and said in unison, "-sensei Teruharu, it was all Haruhi's idea.He's the one who made us do it!"
Yuhi Haru stared wide-eyed at his two "old six" companions, never expecting that they would betray him.
Yuhi Haru also feigned anger and said, "You two old thieves, I am your sworn enemy!Die!"
"Alright!" Seeing that the three were about to start fighting, Yuhi Teruharu immediately stopped them.
"Hmph, you three little devils, don't try to play tricks on me."
After saying that, Yuhi Teruharu's expression changed, and his originally serious expression became kind.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the written test.Next is the practical assessment.Come with me, I'll explain the practical assessment to you on the way."
"Yes!" X3.
The three children surrounded Yuhi Teruharu, who said, "The practical assessment method is relatively simple.You just need to fight one-on-one with the assessors sent by the village."
"As long as you can hold out against the examiners for a certain period of time, you'll pass the test.Of course, if you can defeat the examiners head-on, that's also acceptable."
The three little ones nodded, indicating that they understood.
Soon, the four arrived at the training ground for the practical assessment.
Outside the training ground, Yuhi Teruharu said to the three children, "Good luck!Once you three pass the exam and become Chunin, I'll treat you to a big meal."
"Yay!-sensei Teruharu, we've booked this feast." X3.
Before entering the training ground, the three drew lots to determine the order of their matches.
Haru is ranked relatively high, at sixth place.Shota is in the middle, at nineteenth.Hatake Kaede is twenty-fifth.
Soon, it was Haru's turn to participate in the practical assessment.
The three children encouraged each other, and Haru confidently arrived at the examination room where he was to take the test.
Upon entering the examination room, Haru's opponent was a middle-aged, burly man with a thick beard.
"Come on, kid!Let me test your skills.Participating in the Chunin Exams at such a young age, you must be a genius."
Haru bowed respectfully to the examiner opposite him and said, "Uncle, you look like a strong person.Please go easy on me later!"
"Mmm~ No problem, no problem.Just let me know if you can't hold on any longer."
"Thank you, Uncle!" Haru looked completely harmless, like a well-behaved and polite child.
Seeing that both of them were ready, the referee announced the start of the assessment.
As soon as the referee announced the start of the assessment, Yuhi Haru immediately formed hand seals and cast an illusion.
"Magic Tree Binding Kill!"
Before the burly man with the thick beard, the polite little boy suddenly disappeared, and then he found himself bound by tree branches and unable to move.
"Oh no, I've been infected!"
[What a wicked brat!He actually fell for my illusion!]
In reality, after the referee shouted "Start!", the kid formed a few hand seals, and the burly, bearded man opposite him stopped moving.Immediately afterward, Haru charged forward, wielding a kunai.
"Wow!" The crowd watching the battle exclaimed in surprise.Although Yuhi Haru was a genjutsu-type ninja, she was also very skilled in taijutsu.
Among the spectators, many older ninjas couldn't keep up with Haru's speed.This made many ninjas feel a burning shame; all those years of training had been for nothing.
Just then, the burly, bearded man who was in charge of the assessment broke free from the illusion's shackles, but it was too late.
Yuhi Haru had already reached the back of the burly man with the bushy beard and delivered a precise chop to the back of the man's head.
"Thump!" The burly man taking the test felt a pain in the back of his head, then everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.
The referee was stunned."Didn't I just yell 'start' and it's already over?" He glanced down at the time and, wow, it hadn't even been a minute.
However, the referee still fulfilled his duty."Candidate number six wins!"
The referee's words jolted the still-dazed spectators awake."Wait, it's over just like that?That was way too fast!"
Amidst the chattering of the crowd, Haru excitedly ran back, along with Sarutobi Shota and Hatake Kaede.High five to celebrate.
Soon, it was Sarutobi Shota's turn to take the stage.
Similarly, after giving Shota another round of encouragement, he confidently walked towards his exam room.
Upon seeing that the person who came was Sarutobi Shota, the ninja taking the test was secretly pleased, and then said to Shota with a friendly expression, "Hey buddy, judging from your appearance, you must have taken the test many times!You really have a lot of perseverance."
The word "bro" left Shota completely bewildered.Who else would you call "bro"?I'm still a kid, is it appropriate for you to call me "bro"?Damn it, you'll get what's coming to you later.
"The assessment begins!"
The referee announced the official start of the assessment.
Provoked by the word "bro," Sarutobi Shota made no attempt to hide his strength and immediately unleashed a full set of Fire Style ninjutsu with zero frames.
" Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
" Fire Style: Great Flame Jutsu!"
The Chunin who was acting as the examiner on the other side was completely dumbfounded: Who am I?Where am I?What am I supposed to do?
I'm just an ordinary Chunin, someone temporarily pulled in as a conscript, what for?They came right at me and started with a Fire Style combo.
Although he felt a little resentful, the Chunin who was serving as the examiner did his job well.After dodging several fireballs, he raised his hand to admit defeat.
The battle ended easily.Sarutobi Shota walked up to the examiner and said angrily, "I'm not your friend.I graduated from the Ninja Academy less than two years ago!" After saying that, Sarutobi Shota turned around and left the examination room with a flourish.
Upon hearing Sarutobi Shota's words, the examiner looked at the judge beside him with a puzzled expression: "Is what he said true?"
The referee nodded, indicating that what Sarutobi Shota said was true.
"He looks really mature, no wonder I mistook him for someone else.No wonder he's so short, I thought."
Shota Sarutobi, who hadn't gone far, stumbled, then turned back and glared fiercely at the examiner.His eyes, which were filled with the malice of someone, were impossible to hide.
Although the battle ended easily, Sarutobi Shota returned with a sour face.After simply saying, "I passed," he sat alone and sulked.
Hatake Kaede and Haruyuki Yuhi exchanged a glance, but didn't bother to provoke Shota, trusting that he would tell them what he wanted to say when the time came.
