Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Other than that.

The villagers also happily put down their work and went to the training ground to watch the battle.

Kurenai Yuhi was also present, along with students from the same year as Kazan.

“Here, here, red.”

"Red Bean, you're here so early!"

"Of course! I heard from Uncle Mori that Kazan did very well in this exam. If he gets promoted, he'll be the second Chunin in our class."

"I'm so envious!"

Nohara Rin's tone was filled with longing.

I don't know when I'll be promoted to Chunin.

"Rin will definitely become a Chunin very soon. Of course, so will I."

Obito Uchiha, wearing his signature goggles, raised his right arm with his thumb pointing at himself.

"Stop spouting nonsense, you disgrace to the Uchiha clan!"

The one who spoke was Uchiha Jō.

He wasn't in a particularly good mood.

His arch-nemesis Kazan is about to be promoted to Chunin, while he, a member of the Uchiha clan, hasn't even graduated yet.

"Who are you calling a disgrace to the Uchiha clan? Aren't you just like me, not even a graduate?"

"you....."

Uchiha Jō's expression turned cold.

Is he incapable of graduating? It's just that his parents made him stay at the Ninja Academy.

He even considered graduating and participating in the Chunin Exams with Kazan after learning that Kazan was participating.

However, her parents concluded that, "You are not yet capable of participating in the Chunin Exams."

Unwilling!

"Okay, Oh, stop arguing, let's go inside quickly, or there won't be any seats left."

Nohara Rin rushed over to stop them from arguing.

"Humph."

Uchiha Kiyo didn't want to waste his breath on this shameful Uchiha.

He wanted to see for himself just how far he was from Kazan.

Am I really not qualified to participate in the Chunin Exams?

"Minato, hurry up!"

"Slow down, Kushina, the exam hasn't started yet."

Kushina Uzumaki, with her fiery red hair, led a blond-haired man toward the training ground.

They are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

The two are now married, and although they have known each other since childhood, they still love each other very much.

"Hurry up, let's go cheer for that little devil Kazan."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Kazan to participate in the Chunin Exams so soon, and even make it to the final round."

"Who says otherwise? That little rascal doesn't practice ninjutsu but taijutsu. I'm worried he'll end up like that perpetual genin, Might Guy."

"If that little rascal Kazan gets promoted, come to my tavern tonight and get a 50% discount!"

"Oh~"

The villagers marched into the training ground amidst shouts.

Kazan's parents died young in this world, so you could say they watched him grow up.

Everyone knows Kazan has a big appetite. When he was a kid, they often found excuses to bring him food. They could only pretend not to see when their dog died.

Despite calling him a little rascal and a little devil.

Everyone likes Kazan.

"Kazan? Is that the little brat who rode the tiger in the village before?"

Upon hearing the name Kazan, Kushina immediately bristled, her blood-red hair moving on its own even without wind.

Unfortunately, Kazan's actions repeatedly affected him.

“Haha…” Minato Namikaze could only laugh dryly. “Don’t get excited, Kushina. Kazan is the Third Hokage’s fourth disciple.”

"What's wrong with the fourth apprentice? How many good apprentices can that lecherous old man possibly have?"

Look at the three ninjas, they're proficient in gambling, prostitution, and drugs. This fourth disciple can't be much better.

He's so young and already causing trouble everywhere.

She'll definitely be a troublemaker when she grows up!

Minato Namikaze could only smile awkwardly.

He figured Kushina and Kazan would get along quite well. There aren't many people left who dare call the Third Hokage "old man"!

"Achoo~"

Kazan suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"That bastard is talking bad about me behind my back? Don't let me find out, or I'll make you pay!"

Kazan clenched his fist, brimming with fighting spirit.

Today marks the first step in his journey to fame in the ninja world.

"My opponent is a Jinchuriki who perfectly controls a Tailed Beast. I should at least achieve something for him, right?"

Last night, it suddenly occurred to him that there are nine tailed beasts in the ninja world.

If you beat up all nine tailed beasts, can you also complete the hidden achievement?

Thus, there is yet another reason to send the two Yugito flying.

"It's time to make your entrance!"

Chapter 41 Showdown with the Jinchuriki

Time is up.

Without a complicated opening, Hiruzen Sarutobi simply said a few words before announcing the start of the final round of the Chunin Exams.

In the central stands sat a group of distinguished individuals.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the daimyo of the Land of Fire, the representative of Sunagakure, Ebizo, who was still calling out "Oni-san" to Granny Chiyo even with one side of his body buried in the ground.

A, the son of the current Raikage of Kumogakure and a member of the new generation of the AB duo.

In addition, high-ranking officials from other ninja villages, large and small, were also present.

The final sixteen teams were determined by drawing lots on-site, emphasizing fairness, impartiality, and transparency.

The candidates took turns drawing lots, and the final results were displayed on the screen.

Ok.

Although the ninja world is an era of cold weapons, it is relatively advanced in terms of technology due to the existence of chakra.

On the ice, there are electric lights and everything else you could need; you can even watch a movie in the world of Naruto!

When the draw for the Round of 16 was announced, Hiruzen Sarutobi from Konoha's side noticed a slight change in his expression.

Because one of the matchups in the Round of 16 is: Kazan Shin vs. Yugito Nii.

"I didn't expect to be matched up in the first round!"

The two geniuses who were most likely to gain an advantage in this Chunin Exams met in the first round.

However, it doesn't matter.

The purpose of this Chunin Exam is not to promote Kazan to Chunin, but to let him demonstrate the power of Konoha.

"What's wrong, Hokage?"

The daimyo of the Land of Fire, standing nearby, asked a question while covering half of his face with his fan.

"No, I believe you won't be disappointed in this exam."

"That would be best."

He came to Konoha in person because Hiruzen Sarutobi said he had important matters to discuss.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hasn't mentioned it yet, but the daimyo of the Land of Fire has his own sources of information and can guess the general idea.

It's simply a matter of getting the Land of Fire to fund and help Konoha complete its military preparations.

This is a huge sum of money, so the daimyo of the Land of Fire was naturally unwilling to accept it.

Having the best land in the Land of Fire, the Daimyo doesn't need Konoha to expand the territory of the Land of Fire. As long as he can protect his own small plot of land, that is enough.

Of course, the money should still be paid.

The relationship between Konoha and the Land of Fire is not a simple superior-subordinate one.

Konoha is more like the Land of Fire's army with autonomy.

Kazan had long felt that this was unreasonable.

Why would a ninja village with such extraordinary power willingly serve as a pawn for the Five Great Nations when it could easily replace them?

He only understood it later after watching an anime called "Kouga Ninja Scrolls".

The reason for this is that ninjas are blindly loyal!

The exam will begin soon.

The first match was a duel between the Sand Ninja and the Cloud Ninja.
