Naruto: All My Targets Are Ninjutsu

Chapter 167: All Members Advance, and a Special Jonin is Nominated

"You've worked hard, Yu-kun. Have some water."

In the rest area, seeing Mikami Yu return, Nohara Rin immediately handed him a bottle of chilled raw cola, a joyful smile on her face.

Kurenai Yuhi followed beside her and handed her a towel at the right moment: "Yu, you look like you've been sweating a lot. Let me wipe you down."

"—Thanks, Lin, Hong. I can do it myself."

Yu Mikami took the towel and cola from the two girls, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then unscrewed the cap and took a few gulps. The cool bubbles rose to his throat, dispelling the slight heat from the battle.

The battle just now must have taken a toll on him.

After all, he had just clashed with Toki ninjutsu for visual effects, and even used the B-rank "Water Dragon Bullet" and "Great Dragon Fire" during the process. The total chakra he consumed was about 0.5 to 0.8 calories. If it were Nohara Rin or Yuhi Kurenai, they would probably be almost completely drained.

However, Mikami Yu's thirty or forty points of physique weren't added for nothing; he could withstand such exertion. Judging from the cheers and applause of the spectators in the surrounding stands, this effort had yielded some results.

With the battle between Mikami Yu and Toki over, the Chunin Exams have come to an end.

After a brief moment of noise.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the current Hokage, stood up from the platform, cleared his throat, and his steady voice clearly resounded throughout the arena through the loudspeaker: "Ahem—the Chunin Exams have now been successfully completed. I will now announce the results."

"After taking into account their performance in the three trials, the following list of Chunin has been announced: Konoha Village, Mikami Yu, Sarutobi Asuma, Nohara Rin, Might Guy, Yuhi Kurenai — Uchiha Obito."

"Iwagakure Village, Toki —"

The rest of the list is no longer important to the people of Konoha.

Obito jumped up almost immediately, excitedly waving his fists, his Sharingan behind his goggles seeming to shine even brighter: "Whoa whoa whoa! I became a Chunin! Rin, did you see that? I became a Chunin too!"

Yes, that's right. Although Obito was covered in bumps and bruises in his fight with Might Guy, his Uchiha bloodline and his idiotic nature gave him powerful regenerative abilities. After some bandaging and treatment, he has returned to the scene.

Rin Nohara smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations, Obito-kun."

"Hehe, you too, Lin!"

Not far away.

Might Guy's reaction was even more exaggerated. With tears in his eyes, he struck a pose and shouted into the air, "Youth! This is the reward for hard work! Might Guy, the Blue Beast of Konoha, has officially become a Chunin! Father! Kakashi!"

And Yu too! Did you guys see that?!

"?"

Mikami Yu scratched his head, thinking to himself, "Why am I involved here?"

However, I don't think I saw Kakashi today. Might Guy seems to be here as a spectator. When Mikami Yu and Toki were fighting, I vaguely saw a green figure in the audience, but I'm not sure if it was him.

Beside them, Asuma, Kurenai, Genma Shiranui, and others also smiled and congratulated each other.

Actually, if we strictly follow the standards for Chunin, some of them are not qualified to be Chunin. After all, this position is theoretically reserved for squad leaders, and it's not enough to just have enough personal strength; it also requires comprehensive qualities.

However, the ninja world is currently in a period of turmoil, and Konoha needs more manpower to be deployed to the battlefield. Therefore, basically everyone who participates in this exam and successfully reaches the third round is awarded the title of Chunin.

On the high platform.

After a brief moment of cheers from Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, he gestured with his hands to silence the crowd before beginning his concluding remarks. His message was essentially one of encouragement for the newly promoted Chunin to continue their efforts, to fight for the village and the "Will of Fire," and to shoulder even greater responsibilities.

There were also words of encouragement for the other ninjas and civilians in the village.

Although it's a familiar topic, it also marks the end of this selection process that lasted nearly a week.

With this, the Chunin Exams have come to a complete end.

The audience began to disperse in an orderly manner.

Many people were still discussing it as they left, their conversation revolving around their newly promoted Chunin. Frequent glances were cast towards the rest area, especially towards Mikami Yu and his group.

"Wow, what a fantastic match we witnessed today! This year's genin are amazing! Sharingan, taijutsu, genjutsu—and that white-haired Mikami Yu! Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"

"Yes, I heard they're only eleven or twelve years old? To have such strength at that age is truly amazing!"

"There is hope for Konoha's future!"

"Speaking of which, that kid named Mikami Yu is quite handsome. My daughter is a few years younger than him this year. It would be wonderful if we could have him as our son-in-law!"

At that moment, Obito eagerly approached Mikami Yu and Nohara Rin, excitedly suggesting, "Hey, Yu! Rin! Let's go eat barbecue to celebrate! Asuma and Kurenai, you guys come too! It'll be more lively with more people!"

"Great, I'm actually hungry."

Asma smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's fine."

Kurenai Yuhi responded softly, her gaze secretly glancing at Yu Mikami.

"Hey, Obito, why didn't you call me?"

Matt Kelvin asked.

"—Tch, don't you know how badly you beat me on the field? It's infuriating! I've already awakened the Sharingan, and I still lost to you! I was careless this time, but I'll definitely win next time!" Obito said, looking indignant.

"Oh! The flame of youthful passion! I accept this challenge!"

Kai responded immediately, his eyes lighting up.

Just as everyone was enthusiastically discussing how to celebrate, Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared not far away, accompanied by Minato Namikaze and Kurenai Yuhi. Masamune Tachibana was also there, chatting and laughing with Hiruzen, appearing to be having a very pleasant conversation.

"Hokage-sama!"

The boys and girls quickly stopped their playful antics and bowed respectfully.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a warm smile as his gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Yu Mikami. His eyes revealed undisguised admiration: "You all performed very well this time, showing the style that Konoha ninjas should have, especially you, Yu Mikami."

"Your strength and temperament far exceed what is expected of someone your age. To have learned the Water Dragon Bullet technique in just three days and to have mastered it to such an extent is truly a rare talent."

46

"You flatter me, Hokage."

Yu Mikami gave a slight bow in response.

That is indeed a misrepresentation.

Because Yu Mikami didn't "learn" the Water Dragon Bullet in the normal way; rather, he automatically unlocked the skill after giving it to "Water Rumble" as a skin, and then just needed to familiarize himself with it and improve his feel for it. Using this to judge talent is a bit unfair to other geniuses.

Of course, Mikami Yu couldn't say this outright. For him right now, being called a genius had its advantages.

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused slightly, his tone becoming serious: "Yu Mikami, given your performance in this exam and your outstanding conduct over this period, I intend to nominate you as a Special Jonin. What do you think?"
