Chapter 444： Kakashi's Jonin Reward

Chapter 444 Kakashi’s Jonin Reward

“Senior, can you hand in the paper in advance if you finish it?” Kakashi asked the examiner after checking his paper completely.

Although he had to wait for Obito to finish before going out, he wanted to be free after all, so Kakashi decided to hand in the paper in advance.

"It's so fast, no need to check again?" The examiner was a little surprised and walked to Kakashi's side and looked at Kakashi's test paper.

The examiner was even more surprised when he saw that Kakashi answered several questions he was familiar with on point and very well.

As an experienced examiner, he knows very well that the biggest obstacle for young geniuses to become jounin is never their strength, but the written examination.

Because being strong does not necessarily mean you can learn well in theory. If Konoha didn't have a mechanism to promote jounin outside of jounin inspections, he believes that the current jounin in Konoha would be one-third less, or maybe even more.

"Your Jonin examination is over. You can leave directly, or you can wait outside for the exam to end." The examiner put away Kakashi's test paper and said.

 Kakashi nodded and walked out of the examination room and waited outside. Based on Kakashi's understanding of Obito, he should wait until the end of the examination.

Although Obito doesn’t know much, he won’t give up. Even if he can’t do it, he will try until the end of time.

The final result was as Kakashi expected. He didn't see Obito walking out of the examination room until the end of the examination time.

“It’s okay, I should be able to pass.” Kakashi nodded calmly and replied.

Obito could already imagine what Kakashi would look like at that time.

 Obito thought about it more deeply and discovered an even more terrifying thing. If Kakashi passed the exam, then he would be the only chuunin in the Mugetsu class or the Minato class.

"You're so powerful, then tell me how you did the test paper." Obito asked, suppressing the idea of ​​punching Kakashi in the face.

“You born evil Hatake brat, when I become stronger I will definitely kill you...” Obito’s blood pressure increased just by imagining it, and his Sharingan felt like it was about to come out.

If Obito passes the exam and becomes an official Jonin, then he will be one level higher than Nohara Rin. If he fails, then his ninja level will be lower than Nohara Rin in the future.

In the notice issued, Nohara Rin did not need to take the exam and was directly promoted to special jounin.

Obito walked out of the examination room with his head drooped and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Kakashi frowned slightly as he watched Obito walk over in a daze, with expressions that alternated between indignation and ecstasy. He had a feeling that Obito was thinking of something bad.

“After all, the difficulty of the test paper is average, so there shouldn’t be anyone who can’t pass it.” Kakashi said with a hint.

Although Kakashi’s words did not contain any of his name, Obito felt that Kakashi was almost naming him.

Although Kakashi has never failed a written test in his memory, this is a jounin test, which involves a wide range of knowledge and the questions are difficult. Kakashi may also fail.

"The exam is over, are you still thinking about those questions?" Kakashi interrupted Obito's thoughts.

"How did you do in the exam? Do you think you can pass it?" Obito thought for a while and asked.

"There is a loser in the team who has not become a Jonin. I won't tell you who the loser is." Kakashi said with a sinister look on his face.

“Damn it, if you fail the exam, Xiaolin’s ninja level will be higher than mine.” Obito suddenly thought.

However, Hyuga Aoba and Sakata Genji also submitted their papers last, and Kakashi, who submitted his papers early, became an outlier.

It’s hard, it’s hard, Obito’s fist is hard.

Obito showed a look of regret. In his imagination, he had already fast-forwarded to the point where he had practiced the Breath of Fire to the extreme and surpassed Mu Yue. He was about to beat Kakashi when he was interrupted.

During the time he was hospitalized, Kakashi basically read various books all the time. In addition, he already had a good amount of knowledge, which was more than enough to cope with the Jonin exam.

“Haha, Kakashi, you really don’t know how to be humble.” Hearing Kakashi so confident, Obito felt a little sour.

You have to be angry, but you have to answer the question first.

Although he thinks Kakashi is too stinky, Obito still recognizes Kakashi's ability in the written test, and he must be more correct than him.

"The first question is like this and then..." Kakashi didn't hide anything and told all his answers and ideas for solving the questions.

It was okay if there were no answers, but Obito felt even more unhappy because he and Kakashi had different answers to many questions.

There are three outcomes in total. In the first case, Kakashi is right and he is wrong, in the second case, he is wrong to Kakashi, and in the third case, they are both wrong.

Obito hoped in his heart that it would be the second outcome, but his brain that could still think told him that the first outcome was more likely.

After the examiners left, the examiner immediately began to correct the papers.

“Today’s geniuses cannot be underestimated. They are both civilized and military.” The examiner in charge of Kakashi couldn’t help but sigh.

It was hard for him to imagine how a ten-year-old child could balance cultivation and learning theory.

"That's not entirely true. Uchiha Obito shouldn't be able to be promoted. His subjects other than history are a complete mess." The examiner in charge of Obito said with a smile.

The examiner who finished grading Kakashi raised his head and glanced curiously, "If the written test is only of this level, I feel like I might be promoted to Jonin based on my merits before completing the make-up test."

 It is difficult to become a Jonin in peacetime without passing the Jonin examination, but it is different in wartime. During wartime, special circumstances are special, and you can be directly promoted to Jonin if you have enough military exploits.

After completing the marking of the written examination papers, the examiners sent all the materials to the Hokage Office in the Hokage Building, and Hiruzen Sarutobi personally decided the results of the examination.

After seeing Kakashi's information, Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his goatee with a pleased smile on his face.

He had seen Kakashi's potential before, so he approached Minato Mugetsu for help when Kakashi was confused and sinking.

Kakashi's current achievements also prove his vision. Although he is only ten years old, Kakashi has surpassed many ninjas and is enough to be called excellent.

After nodding to confirm his vision, Sarutobi Hiruzen signed and sealed Kakashi's promotion document.

"Obito, this kid lacks too much in theory." Seeing Obito's test paper, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. This grade designation cannot be given.

“But his character is a good thing for an Uchiha.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen would rather have more innocent Uchiha like Obito, so that the conflicts between Uchiha and Konoha would be much less.

After denying Obito, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hinata Aoba and Sakata Genji.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it for a while but rejected Genji Sakata and then signed Hyuga Aoba's promotion list.

Actually speaking, Hyuga Aoba's strength is a bit worse than Sakata Genji's, but Hyuga Aoba's strength plays a strategic role in Byakugan, so some requirements can be lowered to a certain extent. After finishing his work, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not immediately order the ninja to notify him of the results. It was almost time to get off work, so it would be better to inform him tomorrow morning.

Before leaving get off work, Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered something and found out Metkai's information on the ninja school.

"Kay's grades are also very bad." Looking at the summary of Metkay's ninja school career results in his hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe and blew out white mist.

Before the fourth grade, Metkai couldn't be described as terrible. He was a complete idiot. After the fourth grade, his grades improved a lot because of Mu Yue's extra lessons, but he could only pass without worry.

The written test of the Jonin Examination is not as kind as that of the Ninja School. The written test of the Ninja School only needs to reach half of the average score to pass, while the written test of the Jonin Examination must reach more than 80% of the total score to be considered qualified.

“Should we lower the difficulty level with Kai?” Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into thinking.

If the difficulty remains the same, it is impossible for Metkai to pass the Jonin examination because his theory is as bad as Obito.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about such a problem was not because he liked Metkai, but because Metkai had done more credit.

There are differences in the contribution of different ninjas to the same mission. The person with the greatest credit in this encounter is undoubtedly Mu Yue, who killed Minazuki Han, four Ninja Swordsmen, and a group of Kirigakure ninjas.

The second one is Metkai. Without Metkai's explosive Kakashi, they would not be able to repel the seven Ninja Swordsmen, and they would not be able to survive Mu Yue's arrival.

In fact, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already let Metkai go to a certain extent. If he hadn't done a lot of credit, Metkai wouldn't have been qualified to participate in the Jonin inspection with his partial attitude.

Maitkai's main disadvantage is his age. If Metkai was over fourteen years old, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have directly promoted him to jounin. Ten years old is too young.

Unless the record is too amazing, like Mu Yue's, age will still have a certain impact.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to look at Metkai's results before deciding. All jonins were qualified to lead the team to carry out important tasks. It was not enough if they didn't know anything.

The next morning, Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the ninja to send out the notice.

Those who are successfully promoted need to go to the Hokage's office to receive a new ninja certificate, while those who fail the exam will only receive a notification.

“Uchiha Obito, after investigation, it was found that your strength is excellent but your theory is lacking, and you are currently not qualified to be promoted to Jonin.” The informing ninja said to Obito.

Although he had expected it, Obito couldn't help but feel disappointed when he actually heard about the failure.

Jounin is an excellent ninja in the eyes of ordinary people. He wants his grandma to be proud to tell other Uchiha that her grandson is already excellent at the age of ten.

“You will still have the opportunity to study hard. You can apply for a make-up exam every year for the next eight years. If you pass, you will become an official Jonin.” The informing ninja reminded.

The jounin examination itself is a screening process. People who have no chance of becoming a jounin will not have the opportunity to be a jounin.

Of course, Konoha, the ninjas selected through such strict screening, will not give up easily. They will give them many opportunities to retake the exam, and they can become official jounin if they pass.

"Once a year." Obito scratched his hair and felt that the interval was too long. He was only ten years old now, and one year was already one-tenth of his life.

“Let’s go see Teacher Muyue before the next exam.” Obito felt that it was better to believe in the almighty Muyue Sage than to believe in his own learning ability.

“Kakashi, has he passed?” Obito couldn’t help but ask.

My own failure is a pity, but my brother’s success is even more maddening.

"I don't know about this. I am only responsible for informing you." The informing ninja shook his head and replied.

Obito was a little disappointed. The answer he wanted to hear most was that Kakashi failed like him.

Obito felt uncomfortable at the thought that Kakashi might become a Jonin first. Based on his understanding of Kakashi, Kakashi would definitely use his ninja rank as an excuse to order him.

In order to get the latest news, Obito chose to rush to Kakashi’s house to ask for clarification.

“Kakashi, are you at home?” Obito used concentrated breathing to strengthen his body and rushed to the door of Kakashi’s house and shouted.

Obito knocked on the door a few more times, but there was still no response.

Obito's heart sank, "Oh no, he really didn't pass. Is he in the Hokage Building?"

Just as Obito thought, Kakashi was completing the promotion procedures in the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building at this moment.

"From now on you are an official Konoha Jonin." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and handed Kakashi his brand new ninja certificate to Kakashi.

After Kakashi took the certificate, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became serious.

"A higher ninja level not only represents greater rights, but also represents greater responsibilities and obligations!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a serious face.

“When necessary, jounin should lead the team to carry out more dangerous missions and face more dangerous enemies.”

“No matter how dangerous the mission is, I will protect my companions and bring them back safely.” Kakashi replied seriously.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a smile on his face again, "I'll be relieved if you have such an awareness. If there are more juniors like you Kakashi, I'll be able to take care of myself in the future."

After completing the necessary procedures, Kakashi walked out of the Hokage's office. He looked at the word jounin marked on his new ninja ID and shook his head.

Kakashi, who became a jounin, did not have an arrogant attitude, because he had seen too many powerful jonins, such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Moon Moon, and Namikaze Minato.

 They are of the same level on the surface, but in fact the real gap between them is wider than that between an ordinary jounin and a ninja school student.

Not to mention others, Kakashi's father is also a Jonin, but now he can barely see his father's back.

After walking out of the Hokage Building, Kakashi saw Obito looking around like a thief.

Kakashi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and walked to Obito, "How do you know that I have successfully been promoted to Jonin?"

Obito:?

As the youngest Jonin in Konoha, the topic of Kakashi in Konoha has once again been aroused.

Beiliuhu, who was secretly doing human experiments, almost lost control of his emotions and broke the laboratory equipment when he heard the news.

The ten-year-old jounin, he worked hard for so long to become a jounin, but these geniuses easily surpassed his efforts.

…

[Disciple Hatake Kakashi worked hard to practice and achieved excellent results in the Jonin inspection and was promoted to Jonin. He received rewards: Chakra +2400, weapon extraction scrolls, sword types, and unknown Pokémon eggs (only Hatake Kakashi can incubation)】
