Konoha's Shiranui Genma

Of course, after taking over as Hokage, Namikaze Minato announced the selection of a group of "ninjas directly under the Hokage". Three-inch human room

The so-called "ninjas directly under the Hokage" are also a group of ninjas who are directly controlled by the Hokage himself. Hokage assistants, Naruto's direct escort ninjas, etc. all fall into this category.

According to the rules set by the first Hokage, in order to prevent the problem of nepotism, the ninjas directly under the Hokage must first go through two rounds of screening before they can be appointed by the Hokage.

The first round of the two rounds of screening is the review, which is handled by the Hokage's consultant. All aspects of those who intend to become Hokage's direct ninjas are reviewed. Only those who pass can enter the next round of screening.

As for the second round of screening, it is naturally a common written test.

Genma Shiranui stood in front of the public notice board and read the announcement about the selection of ninjas directly under Naruto.

According to the announcement, if you want to become a ninja directly under Naruto, you must first meet the following conditions.

First, the ninja level is Ninja and above; second, the age is between fifteen and thirty years old; third, the height is over 1.75 meters with regular facial features; fourth, there is no negative record.

Of course, these four are only the most basic requirements, and a real review will never only consider these.

The applicant's origin, resume, work experience, teacher and grade evaluation, etc., must all be within the scope of the Hokage consultant's review.

After reading the announcement twice, Shiranui Genma went back to prepare personal information materials, and went to the Hokage Building to declare.

After passing the review, it will naturally be a written test.

Since the people taking this exam were all Shinobu, the proctoring was very strict, and there were a large number of ANBU ninjas inside and outside the exam site.

The invigilation arrangements were tight and the test questions were extremely difficult. In fact, after eight years in the Naruto world, this is the first time Shiranui Genma has encountered such a difficult exam.

So much so that not long after the test papers were handed out, he could clearly feel the lingering despair that permeated the entire examination room.

Such a difficult test question, even Shiranui Genma, took a full hour to finish.

And after he finished it, he didn't feel confident at all, and he was completely unsure whether he could get a perfect score this time.

After checking it several times, Shiranui Genma shook his head and immediately raised his hand to hand in the test paper in advance.

Not long after handing in the paper and leaving, Shiranui Genma went straight to Yile Ramen Restaurant, ordered some ramen and waited.

"Oh, Xuanjian, you're here too." A familiar voice came from behind.

I don't know Huo Xuanjian was startled, looked sideways, and sure enough, Zilai also came over.

"Master Jiraiya."

Ji Lai also nodded, sat down and said, "Have a special ramen."

Then he turned his head: "Hey, I remember it should be the written test for the ninja directly under the Hokage. Didn't you take it?"

"The exam is over."

"So fast." Jiraiya blinked, then changed the subject with a wave of his hand, "By the way, there is something I want to tell you."

"I'll put aside the illustrations of Intimate Paradise for now. I suddenly got inspired recently and am planning to write a ninja inspirational film that does not involve adult content. I have already thought of the name of the protagonist."

"what name"

"Naruto."

Shiranui Genma was startled for a moment, then opened his eyes wide: "Naruto"

"Yeah, I thought of it when I was eating ramen here a few days ago." Jiraiya smiled, then frowned, "Why, you don't think it sounds good."

"Ahem, no." Shiranui Genza coughed twice.

Only then did he remember that Naruto's name seemed to come from this.

He asked: "This book also needs illustrations"

"Of course," Jiraiya continued, "The protagonist, Naruto, is called The Story of Perseverance. It's not a long book, so it should be completed soon."

Two bowls of ramen were served one after another, and the two of them chatted around Jiraiya's next main creative content, Perseverance.

Shiranui Genma was still growing and had a larger appetite. After finishing one bowl, he ordered another bowl. Jiraiya watched Shiranui Genma eat ramen while telling the story of the Ninja Den.

After a while, Zilai also suddenly stopped talking.

Shiranui Genma turned his head in surprise, and found that Jilai was looking at himself thoughtfully.

Jiraiya touched his chin, and after a moment he asked in a confused manner: "How tall are you now?"

"Uh, about 1.85 meters." Shiranui Genma thought for a moment and then asked, "What's the matter, Jiraiya-sama?"

"Nothing." Jiraiya waved his hand, "What did you just say?"

A few days later, the results of the written test were released.

Shiranui Genma won the first place in the written test with almost no suspense, and the second-placed Iwaki was nearly ten points higher, but unfortunately he was still a little short of the perfect score.

On the day the results were announced, he received a notification from the Hokage Building.The next day, he went to the Hokage Building and met Namikaze Minato in the office.

"Lord Hokage."

Shiranui Genma closed the door smoothly, stood in front of Namikaze Minato, and said respectfully.

Namikaze Minato smiled slightly: "I didn't expect that you could get almost full marks in such a difficult written test paper. After seeing your results, Mr. Kamenyan was very surprised."

Mr. Menyan

Shiranui Genma was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Namikaze Minato must be a member of the Konoha Council and Hokage advisor Mitomon Yan.

It sounds like Mito Gate is the person who asked the questions for this exam

As if guessing his question, Namikaze Minato said: "Mr. Kadoyan is the leader of the proposition group for the written test questions, and many of the questions were written by him himself."

Shiranui Genma nodded.

"For such a difficult test question, he thought he wouldn't even get one with a score of . He didn't expect there to be two, and you have such a high score."

The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, and Namikaze Minato said thoughtfully: "Originally, I wanted you to be my first assistant and Kakashi to be my guard captain. However, Kakashi repeatedly applied to join the ANBU, so I had no choice but to Let him go"

Hearing this, Shiranui Xuanjian's heart moved.

Could it be that because Kakashi went to ANBU, Namikaze Minato preferred to be the captain of the escort team instead of the Hokage's first assistant?

Just as he was thinking this, Namikaze Minato continued: "So after several considerations, I decided to appoint you as the captain of the Hokage Guards and the Hokage's first assistant at the same time. What do you think?"

Captain of the Hokage Guards, concurrently serving as Hokage's first assistant

I don't know Huo Xuanjian was stunned for a moment.

Namikaze Minato: "The captain of the escort doesn't have much work. After all, I don't need others to protect me. He mainly just accompanies me on diplomatic occasions."

"You are outstanding and well-known in the ninja world. There is no more suitable candidate for the captain of the escort team than you."

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if you don't want to wear two jobs, it doesn't matter. Choose one of the two positions."
