Naruto Under the Bamboo Forest

Chapter 50: Chunin Exam!

"Hmm?"

Liu Yu, who was lying on his back by the river enjoying a rare leisure time, felt that the sunlight in front of him was blocked. He squinted his eyes and saw Asuma's middle school face that couldn't hide his smile.

"You guy!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but mutter.

Last time, Asuma was poisoned and beaten half to death by the Mist Scar Jonin, and he withdrew from the battle directly. It was also thanks to the antidote that he got later, otherwise this guy might still be lying down now. It's also fortunate that the Mist Village is not as full of poison masters as the Sand Village, and Asuma's poison is not particularly difficult to solve.

"Tell me! What happened that made you so happy?" Liu Yu said while glancing at Hong on the side.

Today is the day Asuma was discharged from the hospital. In the morning, she and Hong went to pick him up from the hospital. As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, this guy yelled that he wanted to go to eat barbecue. The two couldn't persuade him, so they could only follow his wishes.

After the meal, looking at Asma's look, Liu Yu didn't know what he was thinking. Just when she wanted to relax, she came to the grass by the river to rest for a while, leaving Asma and Hong talking about something on the small bridge not far away. Although Liu Yu also wanted to be as **** as Asma, her current physical condition has declared that this is impossible.

"I promise you, it's definitely good news!"

Asma said mysteriously.

"Stop talking nonsense, speak quickly."

Liu Yu glared at Asma in dissatisfaction.

Asma shrank his neck unnaturally after being glared at by Liu Yu. The team has been together for a long time, and Asma naturally knows that he is not Liu Yu's opponent. In the competition in the team, Liu Yu didn't know why she always liked to be cruel to herself, and she also called it "promoting progress".

After thinking carefully, Asma didn't know how he offended her? In the end, he just blamed his unique charm. In fact, Asuma could never guess that Liu Yu was just jealous. As for what he was jealous of, it was a secret that could not be told.

"Just now, Teacher Haiyi came to inform me that the three of us should take part in the Chunin Exam. It is the Chunin Exam!!!"

Asuma deliberately emphasized the four words "Chunin Exam".

"Chunin Exam?"

Liu Yu was a little surprised, and then relieved. Asuma and Hong were also Chunin promoted to Chunin at the same age. Kakashi in Minato Namikaze's class had been promoted to Chunin for many years. It was a bit unreasonable that his team was still full of Genin.

Since we are in a war period, out of the actual needs of the war, the assessment of Chunin now focuses more on the actual combat capabilities of the participants. The assessment method is not as complicated as in later generations. There are only two items, intelligence collection and actual combat testing.

Due to the large number of students graduating early from the Ninja School and the huge demand for the front-line war, the Chunin assessment in the village has become more frequent. There is no customization, and it is no longer twice a year like in peacetime.

The "actual combat test" during the special period was not a competition between several candidates, but a jonin as their opponent. They did not need to defeat the jonin, as long as they could survive for a period of time, they would meet the requirements.

When they arrived at the test site, they communicated with the examiner. Liu Yu and the others knew that since their teacher Yamanaka Inoichi was an excellent intelligence investigation and analysis master of Konoha, their team had performed well in the previous intelligence investigation. Therefore, they skipped the "intelligence collection" test and went directly to the second "actual combat test".

"Have we found a good teacher?"

After hearing the examiner say that they skipped the "intelligence collection" test, Asuma and the other two couldn't help but mutter in their hearts at the same time.

"Okay, this is the examiner for your next actual combat test."

The examiner put his hand aside and introduced the jonin they were fighting against this time to the three people.

The three people looked over with the examiner's hand in front of them, and what came into view was a black-haired young man wearing a Konoha standard jonin vest. What is more unique is that his eyes are actually blank.

"What is that?"

"The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan!"

After confirming the identity of the visitor from the Hyuga clan, Liu Yu seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that their opponent in the Chunin assessment this time would be a ninja from the Hyuga clan. And I always felt that the appearance of this Hyuga clan member was a little inexplicably familiar.

The Hyuga clan and the Kusanagi clan were enemies during the Warring States Period. There had been too many killings between the ninjas of the two clans, but that was before the Ninja Village era. Although he had occasionally seen a few Hyuga clan members in the Konoha camp of the Yu Kingdom and the Konoha Village, Liu Yu had never really fought with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan. Liu Yu seemed a little excited to be able to fight with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan this time.

"Hyuga clan!" Liu Yu muttered unconsciously in his heart. Perhaps it was due to the deep bloodline, looking at the Hyuga clan member, Liu Yu's heart was ignited with an inexplicable war.

"Hmm?"

Feeling the undisguised fighting spirit in Liu Yu's eyes, the Hyuga clan member also looked at Liu Yu curiously. He was also full of curiosity about this little girl from the Kusasen clan. Although as a Hyuga clan member born after the Ninja Village era, he did not feel much hatred for his ancestors, but this did not prevent him from being curious about the bloodline of the former feud.

"Then, let's start!"

With the order of the examiner, the Chunin Exam officially began.

The first person to participate in the sparring was Asuma, who jumped onto the martial arts stage with a shout. He turned around and showed a bright smile to Hong.

"This guy!" Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little speechless. This guy looked exactly like Uchiha Obito.

"Asma, come on!" Seeing Asma jumping onto the martial arts stage, Kurenai waved her hands to cheer for Asma. Asuma on the stage looked even more energetic when she heard Kurenai's encouragement.

However, Asuma was soon beaten badly by the Byakugan ninja on the opposite side. Fortunately, Asuma took twenty moves from the opposite side and successfully passed the test this time.

"Next, Yuhi Kurenai!"

As the examiner's lazy voice sounded, Hong also jumped off the viewing platform, then climbed onto the martial arts stage, looking solemnly at the white-eyed ninja opposite.

However, because Kurenai was not a taijutsu ninja, but a genjutsu ninja, in the end, Kurenai was defeated by the opponent's Byakugan ninja in the eighteenth move and missed the opportunity to be promoted to chunin.

"Red! Don't be discouraged. You will definitely pass the Chuunin exam next time." Looking at Hong as he walked off the stage, Yamanaka Haiichi and his two students quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

However, Hong himself didn't feel much frustrated. Instead, he said to Liu Yu: "You are next, so work hard! Liu Yu!"

"Thank you, Kurenai!" Liuyu replied, and then turned his eyes to the ninja of the Hyuga clan. Ryūha had just discovered that the Kirigakure ninja was not using all his strength. If he attacked with all his strength, Asuma might not be able to survive twenty moves, and Kurenai would definitely be eliminated earlier.

"You're not just an idle person!"

Liu Yu sighed.

The Hyuga ninja on the opposite side also stared at Liu Yu with amusement. He also wanted to see the Hideo who was once as famous as Byakugan. Let's see if this powerful ninja family that once stood alongside the Hyuga clan is really that powerful.

"Next, Kusanagi Ryuha"

The examiner on the side then announced.

"coming!"

Both sides chanted in their hearts at the same time.

PS:

About the Chunin Exam! !

The Chunin Exam is the exam for genin to become a chunin in "Naruto". Konoha usually holds the chunin exam twice a year, but it is often limited to within the village.

In peacetime, Konoha will hold a large-scale Chunin examination every three years. In this Chunin Exam, the top young talents in the new era will be sent from Ninja Villages in each country to participate in the Chunin Exam. Since it is a peacetime chunin exam, it is generally an important occasion for major powers to observe their national strength. This international chunin exam will also be attended by many foreign guests and dignitaries within the Fire Country.

The Chunin Examination, a multinational joint examination that Naruto and the others participated in later generations, became more stringent and had a higher elimination rate because it was given the meaning of a competition in national military strength in peacetime. Even because outside spectators watched the game, a special game was added to reduce the number of people who passed the second test (Death Forest Survival Test) (the Chunin Examination Qualifiers were added).

Kakashi's ninja school graduation age: 5 years old, Chuunin promotion age: 6 years old, Jonin promotion age 12 years old

Uchiha Obito's ninja school graduation age: 9 years old, Chunin upgrade age: 11 years old

Nohara Lin's ninja school graduation age: 9 years old, Chunin upgrade age: 11 years old (from the setting of "Book of Fighting")

Kakashi applied for early graduation at the age of 5 because of his father's Hatake Shomo (his days as classmates in the ninja school with Nohara Rin and Obito were not long).

After graduation, he was assigned to a team to participate in missions, but because of his mission-oriented approach and disregard for his companions, he was rejected by many people, so he was forced to change teams many times. At first, even Namikaze Minato was unwilling to accept Kakashi as his student. It was only after the persuasion of the Third Hokage that Namikaze Minato accepted Kakashi.

According to the official setting, Kakashi was successfully promoted to chuunin at the age of six, but based on Kakashi's popularity at the moment, I don't think Kakashi will be able to succeed in the way that Naruto and the others will take the chunin exam in the future. Passed the Chunin Exam. Therefore, I changed Konoha's chuunin assessment method during the war, and changed it to focus more on personal abilities, in order to meet the setting of Kakashi passing the chunin exam at the age of 6.

Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, and Nohara Rin formed the Namikaze Minato class, at least after Obito and Rin graduated from the ninja school. At this time, Kakashi had already become a chuunin for more than 2 years.

But in Obito's memories (TV version, the earliest is Kakashi's memories in the movie "The Will of Fire"), Kakashi participated in the Chunin Examination with Obito and Lin, but this is not Settings consistent with official data. In the end, this can only be attributed to errors that are allowed in the long-term serialization of the work.
