Chapter 332 Promotion
Chūnin exams are over and the candidates have returned to their daily lives.
Special training will also be conducted as usual the next day.
Perhaps because of the results of Obito and others, many special training students have worked extra hard.
Genius is nothing, because there has always been genius in Konoha.
But Obito and Metkai were different. It was as if everyone had struggled together. Obito and Metkai were a little wealthier than them. As a result, one year later, Metkai and Obito suddenly became multi-millionaires. .
Since they climbed up step by step beside them, they felt that even if they couldn't become as strong as Metkai, they shouldn't be like this.
People like Asuma who have a good relationship with Obito have infinite fighting spirit because their feelings are deeper.
Mu Yue was very pleased with this, because this was the purpose of his special vacation, to let these students see what the best people of their age were capable of.
According to Mu Yue's observation, S-level rewards are based on students' progress. The more students learn, the more rewards they will receive.
The rest depends on the skill level. For example, it is very difficult to increase the proficiency of a perfect fire escape, while the proficiency level of thunder and earth is very fast.
Due to Muyue's teaching ability, genin like Nara Shimizu have been receiving special training honestly.
What surprised Nara Shimizu was that Mu Yue was not only strong in the five major attributes, but also had special attributes such as the Yin attribute. Although he could not teach the shadow secret technique, he could still solve some Yin escape problems for him.
Five days after the Chunin Examination, the list of candidates for promotion to Chunin was determined.
At this time, the Kirigakure also left Konoha. After all, Konoha would not give Kirigakure a Konoha forehead protector, and the Kirigakure had to go back to promote their own ninjas.
Mu Yue guessed that Kirigakure might not have strawberry ice cream there now, because before Kirigakure left Konoha, he saw Terumi Mei frantically purchasing strawberry ice cream.
Even generously gave him three servings of strawberry ice cream as a return gift.
“You treated me to two portions before, and I repay the favor by treating you to three portions!” Terumi Mei said with a proud look on her face.
Originally, she had little money, but because she was leaving, Master Yuan gave them some money to buy Konoha specialties, so they could buy souvenirs and souvenirs from the Land of Fire.
So Terumi Mei used all the money to buy ice cream. She thought this was very good, it was indeed something Kirigakure didn’t have, and it was delicious.
Terumi Mei was very satisfied with her trip to Konoha this time. She ate delicious strawberry ice cream and gained the respect of the Genshi. She had no regrets other than losing to the top eight.
"Then I'll accept it without any courtesy." Mu Yue accepted it with a smile and left.
Although he is not particularly interested in such sweets, he can give them to the students.
Terumi Mei looked at Mu Yue's back with a thoughtful expression.
She has always felt that Mu Yue was quite strange, not in the silly and silly way Obito was, but he gave her a strange feeling.
Just now, Terumi Mei finally understood what that strange feeling was, because when Mu Yue got along with her, she didn't treat her like a foreigner from another village.
Due to the Kirigakure forehead protector, Terumi Mei could feel the obvious sense of distance from even a silly person like Obito.
Mu Yue could not be said to be close to her, but when Terumi Mei communicated with him, she felt as if she was talking to strangers and villagers in her own village.
If Terumi Mei hadn't stayed in Konoha for a while, she wouldn't have noticed the difference.
"What a strange guy..." Terumi Mei muttered in her heart, and then stopped thinking about it. Maybe she thought too much.
…
"Going to the Hokage's office? Is there some very difficult task for us to complete?" Obito asked with excitement after hearing Minato's words.
“Is it to rescue the kidnapped princess or to repel the invading enemy army?”
Minato smiled and shook his head and said: "This kind of mission is not something you can take on, and Kakashi has not recovered yet, so how can you assign a mission to you guys?"
Although Kakashi and Metkai were discharged from the hospital on the fourth day with Tsunade's treatment, their bodies have not fully recovered yet and they still need to rest for a while.
Kakashi looked at Obito speechlessly, feeling that ninja novels were very harmful. How could so many princesses be kidnapped?
"What is that?" Obito was a little disappointed. He thought it was his good performance in the Chunin Exam that impressed Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You will know when you go there." Minato did not tell Obito and others directly, but smiled mysteriously.
Kakashi looked at Minato's expression and basically guessed what he was going to do. He should be promoted to chuunin.
Thinking about Kakashi's expression, he was wondering whether he would accept it if the village gave him another set of chuunin vests.
Kakashi thought that if he was really given out, he might as well take it. After all, he had already taken it in the first place, and the vest was considered a consumable.
On the way to the Hokage Building, Obito and the others met several acquaintances from the Chunin Exam.
“Hey, Kakashi, how are you recovering?” Metkai smiled, and his two rows of big white teeth shined particularly brightly in the sun.
“We’ve only been out of the hospital for a day, how can we recover?” Kakashi replied with a speechless expression.
“Hahaha!” Metkay laughed loudly without feeling embarrassed.
"Of course it's because I'm looking forward to the next battle with my best friend!" Metkai looked at Kakashi and said.
Failure is not terrible for Metkay. After all, in his life so far, he has lost the vast majority and won only the minority.
What he seeks is not an undefeated game, but rather learning from the experience of failure and then forging victory, in order to become the strongest.
Since Kakashi has changed from a chaser to a leader, he naturally wants to surpass Kakashi as soon as possible.
"Let's wait until the body recovers." Kakashi shook his head and said.
That is to say, the body has not recovered yet, otherwise Kakashi would have challenged Shisui to avenge his shame.
When he lost to Metkai, Obito, and Shisui in a row before, Kakashi thought that he would defeat them all after catching up in strength. Now that he has finally caught up in strength, Kakashi will not let this go. good opportunity.
After all, Mu Yue's disciples are too good, and Kakashi doesn't think he can always be in the lead.
If Metkai can stabilize the four gates and Konoha Ryuken improves a little more, he may not be able to win the transparent world that he has not yet completely mastered.
Kakashi plans to make the transparent world freely open and close first. Anyway, he has not been able to do too strenuous exercise recently, so he just spends all his time studying the transparent world. "Hey, you are here too." Asuma greeted Kakashi and others when he noticed them.
"Akai, Asuma, were you also informed to go to the Hokage's office?" Obito asked after responding.
Metkay and Asma both nodded.
Upon seeing this, Obito immediately used his little brain to guess the reason.
“Could it be that our performance is so good that the Third Hokage wants us to enter some secret department?” Obito said as if he suddenly realized something.
Kakashi’s mouth twitched, and he had to admit that Obito’s brain circuit was different from ordinary people.
If it was just Obito, him and Metkai, that would be possible, but Nohara Rin and Asuma were also among them, so it was impossible.
“It’s probably about being promoted to Chunin.” In order to prevent Obito from thinking about strange things, Kakashi directly gave his reliable answer.
"Probably, otherwise there is no need to specially call me to the Hokage Building." Asuma nodded and said.
"But Kakashi, aren't you already a chuunin?" Obito looked at Kakashi with confusion.
"I also participated in the Chunin Exam. When I get to the Hokage Building, your guess will be correct." Kakashi did not want to argue too much with Obito on this issue. After all, it is not good for Chunin to take the Chunin Exam. .
When he arrived at the Hokage Building, Kakashi was even more sure of his guess, because he also saw Nara Mizuno and Yamashiro Aoba, two candidates who also took the Chunin Exam.
Everyone entered the Hokage's office together. It was the first time for Obito to go to the Hokage's office, so he looked around curiously, only to find that the Hokage's office was completely different from what he had imagined.
Obito thought that the Hokage's office was full of scrolls that looked extremely dangerous and kept secrets, and powerful ninja tools were hung on the walls.
The real Hokage's office is a big desk with many windows and nothing else, not even extra seats.
"You all performed very well in the Chuunin Exam. Not only the ninjas who scored, but also the officials and clients who came to watch the competition recognized your performance, so I decided to promote you all to Chunin!" Hiruzen didn't say too much nonsense and explained the matter directly and clearly.
Nara Mizuno, Yamashiro Aoba and Asma were all in the first round, but they all played to their own level and were eventually included in the promotion list based on their overall performance.
Not to mention Kakashi and the others, it can be said that they have achieved the momentum of Konoha, and the strength they have shown is no longer comparable to that of ordinary chuunin.
Kakashi was extremely calm. He automatically ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and just treated them as accompanying Obito and the others. He was originally a chuunin and why was he promoted?
Asuma's expression was one of relief. It was really not that he was not strong enough, but that Obito Kakashi and others were too outrageous.
Nara Mizuno showed a smile, and it was not in vain that he fought so hard. Although he was slightly inferior to Nohara Rin, he still completed the promotion after all.
Yamashiro Aoba also had a smile on his face. He was originally confident in his own strength, but he encountered Kisame in the first game. These days, he is worried about promotion.
“I’m at the same level as my father, and I’ll strive to be promoted to Jonin together with my father as soon as possible!” Metkai was a little excited.
Since his father was teased for being a genin of ten thousand years, Metkai was a little concerned about the ninja level.
“We passed it together.” Nohara Lin thought with a soft smile on her face.
Before the exam, she was worried that she would be delayed, but in fact, after the exam, Nohara Rin felt no pressure anymore, because she had fought with all her strength in the third game, and she could accept the result no matter what.
“You’re really promoted to chuunin.” Obito felt that Kakashi was lucky today, and he got it right.
"Why, aren't you satisfied with being promoted to chuunin? If you want to be promoted to jounin, you are still far away. Keep working hard toward Muyue and Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.
“Hehe, not really, but our entire team is now a chuunin, can we take on high-level missions?” Obito replied with a smile.
Obito is naturally very happy to be promoted to Chunin. After all, Kakashi always used his status as a Chunin to suppress him before. Now everyone is a Chunin, and Kakashi no longer has the status to suppress him.
"Theoretically, there will be no problem if it's A-level or below, but if it's A-level, it depends on Minato's arrangements." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, stroking his beard.
Now Obito and the others can take on missions independently without Minato, because they are already three chuunin, and they have no problem taking on B-level missions on their own.
But this is not possible for A-level. A-level must have at least one special jounin, and S-level must be led by an experienced official jounin.
"A-level is not bad." Obito showed an excited smile and selectively ignored the next few words of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although Obito has A-level and S-level missions on his mission resume, these were changed later. Obito has not officially accepted an A-level mission yet.
"These are your promotion tables and chuunin vests. From now on, you will be Konoha chunin. You will need to bear more responsibilities and will receive more dangerous tasks!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously, then stood up and The corresponding promotion forms were distributed to several people, and as for the vests, they were all the same, so I took them myself.
Becoming a chuunin not only gives you more rights, but also requires you to assume more responsibilities.
Except for extremely important tasks, generally not all Jonin will be dispatched, and the main force will be Chunin.
"As long as we can protect Konoha, it doesn't matter how dangerous the task is." Obito said that he is not afraid of danger.
Looking at Obito saying such words with the will of fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, feeling that Obito might be the next Uchiha Mirror.
Sarutobi Hiruzen really had nothing to do with them, so everyone except Asuma quickly left the Hokage's office.
"Xiao Lin, let me just say that we are all fine." Obito said to Nohara Lin while holding the chuunin vest and turning it left and right.
"Yeah, Obito, you're right." Nohara Rin responded with a soft smile.
As the voices of his companions faded away, Asuma asked Hiruzen Sarutobi directly: "Is there anything else? It's okay. I'm going to practice."
He was about to leave, but was stopped by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"The aura of your Vacuum Jade is too loose, otherwise it can penetrate the Phoenix Fire. There is also a problem in practicing the art of high flames. The temperature of the flame is too low." Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and talked about the Asma Chunin Exam. question.
“Tch, you know more.” Asma turned and left with a dark face.
Just as Asuma opened the door to the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.
“But the last combination of ninjutsu was good, and the overall performance was acceptable.”
I originally wanted to write more, but I have a slight fever today. Although it’s not serious, it’s really hard to write because my brain is so hot. I hope I’ll feel better when I wake up tomorrow.
