Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

In the past few months, Kakashi's team has carried out many missions, but compared to the mission in Wave Country, these missions are much simpler.

After all, they were just students who had just graduated. The mission to Wave Country was an accident. The tasks assigned by the village were usually mainly D-level tasks, and C-level tasks were only encountered extremely rarely.

This made Naruto and Sasuke very dissatisfied. They both wanted to do a more difficult task, preferably one involving combat.

Unfortunately, the Third Hokage will not follow Naruto's wishes this time. The previous mission in Wave Country was actually very risky. If something goes wrong, the Jinchūriki might get into trouble. This is a loss that Konoha absolutely cannot afford.

And there is Sasuke. Itachi has an agreement with the third generation. Now that the Uchiha are gone, Sasuke is the only one living in Konoha Village. If something happens to him, who knows if Itachi will go crazy.

The third generation wanted to be safe and completely ignored the requests of Naruto and Sasuke. He asked Kakashi to keep an eye on them and not allow them to cause trouble.

The result was that after a few months, both Naruto and Sasuke became a little wilted. Although their strength had improved, they had not fought, so their progress was not reflected at all.

"Okay, today's mission is over."

After they had piled the weeds neatly, Kakashi flashed over to their side and clapped his hands.

"You did a great job. This mission was perfect."

"What's the point of being perfect? ​​Doing this kind of task a hundred times won't improve your strength."

Naruto said with a pout, he had enough of this boring mission.

Sasuke didn't say anything, but judging by the unhappy look on his face, it was obvious that this was what he was about to say.

On the contrary, Remos and Sakura were very calm.

Needless to say, Sakura has always been good at taking things as they come, and compared to Naruto and Sasuke, she doesn't have such big ambitions, nor does she seek fame in the ninja world. It is actually safer for her not to participate in the battle.

As for Remos, he has been busy studying new ninjutsu recently. When he is on a mission, his mind is full of ninjutsu. He doesn't care whether to fight or not.

"I know you are dissatisfied, but it doesn't matter, because there will be very important things waiting for you next."

Kakashi said with a grin.

"Really? What's going on? Is it a mission? Is there a battle?"

Naruto immediately became excited upon hearing this and asked loudly.

Sasuke's attention was also diverted.

"of course not!"

"What, Kakashi-sensei, are you lying to me on purpose?"

"Of course, that's not it. Well, I won't tease you any more. In the next few days, Konoha Village will hold the Chunin Exam, and I plan to let you try."

Kakashi finally stopped keeping the secret.

"Chunin exam?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this, and they looked at each other, all a little confused.

Although they were active in the village every day, they didn't care much about these things. Naruto was too nervous and didn't notice these things without special reminders. Sasuke was immersed in his own world and was not very sensitive to the outside world. Sakura simply didn't care about this kind of problem. After the mission was completed every day, the first thing she wanted to do was to go home. She was a real good girl.

Only Remos understood it very well, not only because he was familiar with the plot, but also because there were many outsiders in Konoha Village recently, so he couldn't pay attention even if he didn't want to.

"Yes, the Chunin Exams."

Kakashi nodded. "This is a large-scale exam jointly held by multiple villages. Each time it is handed over to a different village to hold, and then other villages send Genin to take the exam. Those who pass can be directly promoted to Chunin."

"So that's the case, but is it necessary?"

Naruto nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then raised his doubts.

As we all know, the promotion of a ninja requires the consent of the village's top leaders, and although the conditions for a ninja's promotion are not harsh, they are by no means simple.

Taking Chunin as an example, if a Genin wants to be promoted to Chunin, the first thing he needs is strength. If his strength is too weak, there will be no hope.

Secondly, one needs to have the ability to lead a team, because for ordinary ninjas, a Chunin can already take a Genin on missions together. For a team like theirs to be led by a Jonin, or a Jonin of Kakashi's level, is definitely a special care that would not happen under normal circumstances.

If a ninja wants to be a captain, he needs to consider a lot of things.

For example, you need to choose the route when performing a mission, pay more attention to the situation of your teammates, have the ability to analyze the battlefield and the situation during battle, etc. In short, the requirements are not low.

Finally, promotion to Chunin requires sufficient mission experience, also known as qualifications.

If you don't have enough qualifications, you naturally can't be promoted, which is also normal.

In short, the promotion of a ninja is a very complicated matter and it is by no means something that can be decided casually.

Everyone is very clear about this, but now Kakashi says that they can be promoted by taking the exam. Is there such a good thing in the world?

"Of course it's necessary."

Kakashi smiled.

"It is a peaceful time now, and the war has long stopped, but the disputes between the major countries have never subsided. The so-called Chunin Exam is actually more like a show of muscle. Each ninja village shows its strength and potential through the exam, which can help eliminate the contradictions between the two sides. After all, if the strength is strong enough, it can often make the enemy give in.

This year's Chunin Exam happens to be hosted by Konoha. Logically, none of you meet the requirements. You are too young and have too little experience.

But I still signed you up, and I hope you give it a try. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, it's good to see how strong the Genin from other villages are."

Not only Kakashi, but two other teams have also signed up among this year's newcomers.

They are Team 8 led by Kurenai Yuhi, and Team 10 led by Asuma. Needless to say, the other two have the same idea as Kakashi, they don't have any unrealistic hopes for their teammates, they just want to gain some knowledge.

After all, even if there are fights in the Chunin Exams, because the exam is held in the village, any risks are within the control of Konoha Village. It is not like going out of the village to perform high-level missions, where life and death are really hard to say.

The ones who really have ideas about being promoted to Chunin are Naruto's senior class, that is, Kai's team.

After figuring out the situation of the Chunin Exam, Naruto immediately became happy. He kept chattering on the way back and was very excited.

The same went for Sasuke and Sakura, with Sasuke rarely saying a few more words.

Kakashi withdrew his gaze and secretly winked at Lemons, indicating that he should not leave for a while as he had something to say.
