I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Asuma Sarutobi stared at Yamato with a murderous glare in front of the television, while the red figure on the screen smiled broadly at Yamato.

"By the way, Yamato, did you also participate in the Chunin Exams?"

"Well, I was still in the Anbu back then. I was promoted to Chunin just by participating in the Anbu's Chunin Exams."

"Anbu, huh? As expected of a Yamato Jonin!"

"Haha! You flatter me. Kurenai, didn't you also rise to the top and become an elite Jonin in the ninja world?"

"..."

"..."

Under intense scrutiny, Yamato and Kurenai then embarked on a series of mutual flattery campaigns.

If the show's director hadn't quickly stopped them from discussing the topic, the Chunin Exams program would probably have turned into a talk show between the two.

"Cough cough!"

After a few light coughs, Yamato, who was about to lose control and almost openly post a marriage advertisement on the spot, finally stopped under the director's murderous gaze and returned to the main topic.

"The weather is great today, perfect for the Chunin Exams. Everyone, look behind me, this is where the first written exam of the Chunin Exams is being held. Soon, the genin participating in the Chunin Exams will be... no! Someone's already here!"

"Look everyone! The first contestant to arrive is from the prestigious Uchiha clan of Konoha. Look at his handsome face, I bet many girls in front of their TVs are already screaming. Let's go interview him."

"Hello contestant, could you please look at the camera and introduce yourself to the ninja world viewers in front of the TV?"

Sasuke: "......"

As the first team to arrive at the scene, before he could even observe his surroundings, someone shoved a camera right in his face, and his expression suddenly froze.

With exams approaching, he had no interest in conducting any interviews, and upon hearing this, he simply ignored it and left on his own.

In an instant, just as Yamato was awkwardly trying to figure out how to salvage the situation...

Unlike Sasuke, Naruto, eager for the interview, eagerly approached Yamato amidst his surprise and greeted the camera warmly, saying, "Hello everyone! I'm Namikaze Naruto, I'm thirteen years old, I love ramen, and I hate the wait before it's cooked. My dream is to become the next Hokage. I..."

For the next while, Naruto rattled off a whole bunch of things.

At first, Yamato was overjoyed that Naruto had saved the day.

However, soon, as Naruto talked non-stop for several minutes, and it seemed he could talk for a long time, Yamato's smile suddenly froze.

"Ahem! Naruto, thank you for your remarks... Naruto, your teammates are waiting for you... Naruto! Time's running out, we can end here now... Let go of the camera, Naruto!!!"

After a dizzying experience in front of the television, the first major blunder in the Chunin Exams was officially born.

Seeing this, Yun Ting, one of the onlookers, smiled knowingly.

According to his speculation, this is probably just the beginning.

It's worth noting that the genin participating in this Chunin Exams are truly a chaotic bunch.

Just as Yun Ting had predicted.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, Yamato finally managed to snatch the camera back from Naruto and regrouped. However, as he interviewed the arriving contestants, his smile became increasingly difficult to maintain.

During the shoot, there was Rock Lee, as passionate as Naruto, who once again overwhelmed Yamato; there was Hinata, whose manners were impeccable, but who couldn't utter a single word in front of the camera, her face flushed and her smile stiff; and there was Choji, who devoured snacks in front of the camera, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

There are also characters like Omoi, who spews out depressing remarks in front of the camera and immediately asks if the Chunin Exam building is a shoddy construction project and if it will collapse as soon as you enter; Gaara, who, despite being behind the camera and maintaining a calm demeanor, always sends chills down your spine; and Hozuki Suigetsu, who shouts that everyone else who wields a ninja sword is trash except for himself, and so on.

When Yamato finally finished the grueling interview, the television camera switched to the Chunin Exams written test site. After he and Kurenai came to the studio to give their explanations, he, who had almost collapsed from exhaustion, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, seeing that the written test on the screen would not start for some time, Yun Ting turned his gaze away and instead looked at the three wooden boxes on his desk that were occasionally bouncing restlessly.

Chapter 349: Jinchuuriki Makes a Star

The three newly added wooden boxes on the desk were certainly not decorations.

Inside were the one, six, and seven tails that Yun Ting had recently acquired.

Under the combined suppression of his Wood Release and sealing techniques, he is currently temporarily huddled inside these three boxes.

Yun Ting then patted the wooden box of Shukaku, the most restless of the three.

In the blink of an eye, Shukaku, whom Gaara had always regarded as a nightmare, fell silent.

Even something as ferocious as it can only bow its head and act like a docile baby in front of Yun Ting.

Looking at the three temporary tailed beast sealing containers in front of him, Yun Ting pondered how to deal with them.

Releasing them back into the wild is impossible.

Yun Ting isn't a friend of tailed beasts like Naruto, so he wouldn't allow such enormous time bombs like tailed beasts to roam freely in the outside world.

Don't be fooled by how the original work portrays the tailed beasts as pitiful, trapped and sealed within the bodies of various Jinchūriki.

But before Hashirama Senju captured them, these guys had caused quite a bit of trouble in the ninja world.

Even though some tailed beasts usually prefer to stay in places rarely visited by humans, when they occasionally venture out, their terrifying chakra and enormous size mean that even unintentional actions can still bring enormous disasters to humanity.

Yun Ting didn't want the golden age of the ninja world he had created to be destroyed by these guys in the future.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to release it.

As for gathering all nine tailed beasts and having the Gedo Mazo, which he already possesses, absorb them to evolve into the Ten-Tails and become its jinchūriki.

Yun Ting thought about it and still refused.

After Kaguya Ōtsutsuki ate the Chakra Fruit, the Ten-Tails on the planet where Yunting was located was, in a sense, Kaguya's incarnation.

Just like in the original work, after Madara became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and finally completely absorbed the God Tree, the Rinne Sharingan opened on his forehead.

This is not the ability he truly possesses.

In reality, the Rinne Sharingan belongs to Kaguya; he merely borrowed it.

Even without Black Zetsu's betrayal, it's hard to guarantee that Kaguya won't revive in Madara later.

Yun Ting, who has no desire to do anything reckless, has no intention of trying this.

If we calculate it this way, the tailed beasts only have one use.

That means he'll continue to act as the "human jinchūriki" (human charging baby) as always.

That's fine too.

Even without the intervention of the Cloud Court, the Land of Ninja, possessing nine tailed beast weapons, is enough to suppress everything in the world.

However, the Land of Ninja still needs to carefully select a Jinchuriki.

The practice of people like Gaara, who were chosen from birth and could not refuse, and Utakata, who became Jinchūriki unwillingly and under semi-coercion, is no longer acceptable.

With the Ninja Country possessing the entire population of the ninja world, there are more than enough people to choose from to seal the tailed beasts.

In that case, the Jinchūriki would be selected through rigorous screening based on factors such as temperament, loyalty, and ability.

The Land of Ninja needs forces that are loyal to themselves.

Instead of the original Four-Tails Jinchuriki and Five-Tails Jinchuriki who turned their backs and ran away.

In addition, the treatment of Jinchūriki must also be changed.

Yun Ting didn't want to repeat the idiotic practice of the major ninja villages letting their villagers hate Jinchuriki.

Ultimately, people hate Jinchūriki because they fear the power of the Tailed Beasts.

However, now that the Land of Ninja has unified the ninja world, the people, filled with pride, will have their fear of the tailed beasts minimized.

In addition, the powerful sealing techniques of Konoha and the Wood Release are enough to prevent the Tailed Beasts from causing any trouble.

"Now that the east wind is gathering, we can start working on having the propaganda department increase the role of propaganda personnel to change people's original impressions," Yun Ting thought, tapping the table with his finger.

In his plan, the nine Jinchūriki of the future will become like the current Five Kage, objects that people compete to become.

Only in this way can the Jinchūriki truly integrate into the nation and be used entirely for their own purposes.

Yun Ting was very confident about the plan to create a star by creating human jinchūriki.

Regardless of the circumstances, the pursuit of power is something that everyone yearns for.

With the allure of becoming a Jinchūriki and having the power to rival the Five Kage, many people aspire to be one of them.

The idea has been made.

Just as Yun Ting finished his business and was regaining his composure, Yamato's loud and excited voice suddenly rang out from the television next to him.

Yun Ting turned his head and saw that the written test of the Chunin Exams had already begun.

Let's take another look at the Chunin Exams, which take place around the same time as in the original story.

……

Unlike the Chunin Exams of the past, which had a maximum of only a hundred or so participants, this year's exams have gathered over two thousand outstanding Genin from across the ninja world.

It's impossible for so many people to squeeze into one classroom.

Furthermore, the more people there are, the more difficult it becomes to play all the tricks.

Yun Ting finally decided to proceed with the assessment in the normal manner.

The written test score is 100 points. According to the requirements, the total score of the three members of the same team must reach the passing score of 180 points in order to advance.

This means that even if one member of a team scores 100, the team will still be eliminated if the combined scores of the other two members are less than 80.

As for the possibility that there are two top students in the team.

Because the written test is designed to eliminate many students, the exam will be more difficult than ever before, and even a top student like Sakura will not be able to get a perfect score.

One can imagine how difficult it must have been for a mediocre student like Naruto to hear this information from the proctor.

It is worth noting that the proctor for the exam room where Naruto's team was located was Ibiki Morino.

This time, however, they didn't give them the final, big question they wanted.

The written test has officially begun.

When the exam papers were handed out to his assistant, he couldn't help but frown upon seeing them.

Looks like I'll have to cheat.

Sasuke, who instantly understood the true nature of this test, glanced around out of the corner of his eye.

Without any disguised Chunin involved to provide the correct answer, to arrive at the correct answer, one must first determine who is truly worthy of plagiarism.

Those genin who are able to come here are either geniuses or seasoned veterans who have been around for a long time.
