"Oh!"

However, the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded because the match was very exciting.

They felt Sasuke and Naruto's passion and their unwavering perseverance.

Then... I started to worry about how to face Naruto next.

After all, everyone used to hate Naruto so much and hurt him.

And now Naruto Uzumaki has proven himself.

He works hard, he is strong, and he perseveres.

He was also a Konoha ninja.

···

"So this is Konoha's... Chunin Exams?" Onoki said. "And this is the strength of Chunin?"

"Do you believe it? I don't," said the daimyo of the Land of Earth.

"...Konoha is indeed terrifyingly powerful." Even Granny Chiyo, the representative of Sunagakure, made a comment.

Previously, the Sand Village was presided over by the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, who deliberately prevented his three children, whose strength far exceeded that of ordinary Chunin, from participating in the Chunin Exams. This time, they came to participate in the Chunin Exams.

result……

The candidates from Konoha have all surpassed the level of Chunin, and the strength shown by Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha... is terrifying.

This is definitely at the level of a Jonin, no, an elite Jonin.

Meanwhile, Maki, a pillar of Sunagakure's elite Jonin, also wondered how many moves it would take for him to be killed if he joined in...

So he kept his expression serious and focused.

“Of course,” said Terumi Goda, 013.

She personally went to the Land of Waves and watched Naruto and Sasuke's taijutsu skills improve.

Therefore, she was well aware that Sasuke and Naruto's strength had long been close to 0.8, no, judging from their current performance, they were already 1.3 times the strength of Kakashi.

[Observing Kitahara Kaede's small group (^_-)]

[Big Pillar Silly]: Absolutely brilliant.

[Big Pillar Silly]: It's a bit of a pity, Naruto lost.

[Tobirama Senju]: Oh, poor kid, he's so eager to prove himself.

[Minato Namikaze]: It's okay, Naruto, Daddy has already seen how you did.

Minato Namikaze: Even if others don't approve of you, I still approve of you.

Minato Namikaze: Dad is proud of you.

[Senju Hashirama's younger brother]: Sasuke performed reasonably well.

In the small group that overwhelmingly supported Naruto, Izuna felt powerless and outnumbered.

But upon closer inspection, there really weren't any Uchiha members left in the group.

I couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

[Nine Lama]: Hmph!

[Shukaku]: Speaking of Kurama, won't you lend your power to Naruto Uzumaki?

【Shukaku】: When Naruto is exhausted, you could try to give him power and break the seal a little.

【Nine Lamas】: I have no interest in that.

However, the reality is that with so many eyes watching, if Kurama (the Nine-Tails) were to show any sign of wanting to attack Naruto... he would probably be doomed.

Didn't you see the record Kitahara Kaede wrote in her notebook that she wanted to use Edo Tensei on Minato and then obtain the other half of the Nine-Tails sealed by Minato?

Yes.

The Nine-Tails was originally a single entity, but it was controlled by the Sharingan during the Nine-Tails' rampage. Minato then resealed it, one of the actions he took being to seal half of its body inside himself.

Then they were taken away by the Grim Reaper who was sealed away by the Shiki.

Now, let alone trying to break the seal, even lending Naruto a little chakra... would probably be investigated.

Because it seems that Naruto is being raised by Kitahara Kaede in a way that doesn't rely on his existence at all, rather than in the way Gaara or the Hidden Cloud Village are raised based on the Jinchuriki model, which relies primarily on the power of the Tailed Beasts.

So... Kurama is really worried that if he makes a move, he'll get beaten up.

···

"So……"

Kakashi appeared beside Naruto, pressed his hand against Naruto's eyes, and gently patted his shoulder.

Naruto, who was standing solely by his consciousness, finally relaxed.

The medical team rushed over immediately and carried the exhausted Naruto and Sasuke away.

However, the exams for the nine candidates have finally come to an end.

"The level of this Chunin Exam is evident to all."

"I hereby announce the list of those who have been promoted to Chunin."

"First up is Temari from the Sand Village. Although her Wind Release technique wasn't fully displayed, her overwhelming power is enough to qualify her as a Chunin."

"By the way, Temari is also the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage."

"Gaara of Sunagakure also passed the exam; he is the son of the Kazekage of Sunagakure."

"Their absolute control over the sand showed us the Sand Village's attack methods."

Kakashi announced.

"The above is the list of those from Sunagakure who passed the Chunin Exams this time."

"..." Kankuro.

Kankuro, who is also the son of the Fourth Kazekage, felt that participating in the Chunin Exams was pointless.

"And traveling with Temari and Kankuro was Kankuro, who was also the son of the Fourth Kazekage."

"However, although Kankuro is the son of the Kazekage, he uses puppetry. He has also shown us the amazing manipulation techniques of the Land of Sand."

"However, our strength is not yet very strong. I hope we can continue to work hard."

"Welcome to participate in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha again in four years," Kakashi said.

brush!

The audience's attention was focused on Kankuro.

Kankuro's presence was more dazzling than ever before.

But... she was being watched with pitying eyes.

[It turns out this puppeteer is also the Kazekage's child, but he's far inferior to his younger brother and sister.]

[But it's so tragic.]

"..." Kankuro.

Kankuro felt he was being targeted.

Granny Chiyo sighed. She was the top puppeteer in Sunagakure, and Kankuro learned his puppetry skills from her, but... he really didn't have the talent.

It's nothing compared to the grandson scorpion.

····

“Well…” Kakashi glanced at Kitahara Kaede, who was sitting in the Hokage’s seat.

Having received Kitahara Kaede's nod, he continued to stand in the center of the now-pitched examination hall and make his announcement.

"Next up are the candidates from Konoha who passed the Chunin Exams this time."

"First up is Locke Lee."

"As everyone has seen, his talent for the Eight Gates Formation and his hard work are evident."

"I think this has successfully reached the level of a Chunin."

Upon hearing his name called, Xiao Li quickly wiped away the tears that had welled up from his autism.

"Then there is Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, the number one taijutsu family in Konoha."

"She showed us... um, congratulations Hinata Hyuga."

"..." This was just a meaningless announcement.

Because Hinata didn't show anything at all.

The people around them weren't as perceptive as Genma Shiranui, and they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

For example, the inside story of this Chunin Exams, or something like that.

Suddenly, an argument broke out in the audience.

"Who told you to abstain!"

"I finally had my strength improved by Feng Jun."

"And then he was watching."

"As a result, I didn't even get a chance to perform!"

"Get out of here!"

It seems to be Hinata's voice.

But this Hinata seems to be a bit fierce.

When everyone looked over, they saw that Hyuga Neji in the audience had taken flight.

Hyuga Neji's body was directly enveloped by a blue lion-patterned chakra, and then he was thrown into the examination hall, where he fell into a deep pit.

It took a while before he could climb out of the pit.

"So this is Gentle Fist combined with Twin Lion Fist..." Neji raised his head, then fainted.

"Neji!" As a good teacher, Might Guy quickly went to pull Neji out.

The medical team, who had just finished their work, hurriedly went to pick up Hyuga Neji.

"Ah... um..." This unexpected turn of events stunned Kakashi as well, but as the strategist he was, he said, "Thanks to Hinata Hyuga for showing us the spectacular Twin Lion Fists."

"This is a special Gentle Fist technique that can be used precisely to control chakra when combined with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan."

"It is very difficult to learn, but it is very effective in physical combat."

“I also think she meets the requirements for Chunin,” Kakashi said.

what……

"..." Okay.

Everyone has come to accept Hinata.

This person is also quite capable.

Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka, who withdrew from the second Chunin Exams, sighed.

They were worried that Hinata would become a target for ninjas from other villages, so they chickened out... But now it seems... they were the ones who were too weak.

Meanwhile, Kurenai Yuhi, the Jonin instructor of Team 8, gave an awkward smile.

“Um… Father, this is my disciple,” Kurenai Yuhi said.

He originally brought his father to watch his disciple's match, but... Neji immediately forfeited, so he didn't see it.

But... now Hinata has shown everyone how powerful she is in a new way, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

"The Hyuga family... they're quite good," said Kurenai Yuhi.

"Then... the next one, or rather the next two, to qualify are Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."

"I think everyone agrees, right?" Kakashi then announced.

And that's exactly what the audience wants to see.
