People In Konoha: Start With A Sparkling Fruit

In the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in front of everyone as the third Hokage.

The old guy held a pipe in his hand slightly trembling, and looked at the group of ninjas in front of him vigorously.

Everyone looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with admiration.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's slightly trembling hands could not be hidden from everyone, as well as his deep dark circles.

But in the eyes of everyone, this is proof that the old man is busy with official duties and working day and night for the village, so the look in his eyes is not only admiration, but also concern.

Only Kakashi knows that a lot of "treasures" that he has seen in his family have been lost, and the venerable Master Hokage probably did it.

"Ahem..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice before saying when he saw the people below became quiet:

"The convening of everyone today is not for anything else, but the Chūnin exam is about to begin, and the time will be July 1st, seven days later. I have told you this before. I hope everyone will prepare well."

Kakashi, who also has dark circles under his eyes, looks tired:

"Why so fast? Can we wait another half a month?"

Kakashi has been very tired recently, and he suddenly said something about the Chūnin exam, and he wants to take a good rest for a while.

Because of the Chūnin exam this time, not only Konoha Village, but even several ninja villages around will come here to take the exam.

If there is any accident at that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to deal with it now...

Guy on the side rushed to Kakashi, twitched his thick eyebrows, and said with his thumb:

"Kakashi! Entering the Chūnin exam is the best proof that youth is burning, cheer me up!"

Kakashi glared at Guy with his dead fish eyes:

"My youth is over, now it's old age, I want to go back to sleep and read a book."

"That's right, Lord Third Hokage." Kakashi raised an eyebrow at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't dare to meet Kakashi's eyes, and blushed suddenly when he remembered what he had done.

"Ahem! The Chūnin exam has already been decided, and it cannot be changed now, Kakashi."

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen cleared his throat and said:

"Kakashi, Sunset, Asuma! As the director Jōnin, would you like to recommend any suitable candidates among the newcomers you are in charge of?"

Listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the three of them fell into deep thought.

But Iruka, who was hiding in the crowd, couldn't help feeling worried.

"It's too early for those guys to be Chūnin..."

As soon as the voice fell, I heard Kakashi stand up:

"I recommend Ye Shenyue, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura from the seventh class to take the Chūnin exam."

Iruka's eyes widened in an instant. He was just a member of the ninja school, and he almost had no right to speak in the crowd, but even in this state, Kakashi couldn't recommend Ye Shenyue and Uzumaki Naruto!

joke! Two guys who have been absent from school all the year round, and they are going to take the Chūnin exam not long after graduation?

How dangerous is the Chūnin exam? let them go! Aren't you going to die!

"no!"

Iruka stood up subconsciously, and said with a gloomy face:

"Master Hokage! Allow me to say a word!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then heard Iruka say.

"The people Kakashi recommends are all my former students! Although they may look outstanding now! But it is too early for them to take the Chūnin exam!"

Kakashi looked at Iruka and said seriously:

"When I became a Chūnin, I was six years younger than the current Uzumaki Naruto. You say it's too early for them to take the exam?"

Iruka was unmoved at all. You must know that when Kakashi was young, it was during the war. He basically participated in a mission. If he came back alive, he would be eligible to become a Chūnin, or even a Jōnin.

But few of these people are still alive.

"You can't say that—"

This time, before Iruka could finish speaking, Kakashi interrupted him.

"Don't treat them as students, they are my subordinates now! Not your students!"

Iruka was silent for a moment, unable to speak.

"In that case... Kakashi, I hope you won't destroy them." Iruka said helplessly.

Kakashi shook his head helplessly, there is nothing wrong with letting Ye Shenyue and the others learn more.

After the mission of the Kingdom of Waves, the current Kakashi believes that Ye Shenyue and others still have great potential.

Especially the strength of that guy Ye Shenyue, not to mention the Chūnin exam, Kakashi thinks there is no problem for this guy to participate in the Jōnin, but he is really too lazy, this character still needs to be polished.

Kakashi's main purpose is to let Ye Shenyue and others get in touch with ninjas from other villages through this Chūnin exam, and there is nothing wrong with them.

After all, to put it bluntly, maybe it won't be long before they may meet on the battlefield. Even though Konoha Village is still an alliance with them now, who can say for sure in the future?

"Okay, just like this." Kakashi said.

noon the next day.

Naruto and the others are waiting for Kakashi by the bridge.

"I'm already three hours late! Why isn't Teacher Kakashi here?"

Naruto clenched his fists and said viciously.

"Ms. Kakashi is late... not once or twice..."

Sasuke was also a little helpless. He originally said to gather in the morning, but it was almost noon now, and Kakashi still hadn't arrived.

Ye Shenyue is now lying in the shade of a tree not far away and fell asleep with his legs crossed. It seems that he is the most comfortable, after all, there is no need to wait so boring.

A black shadow flashed past, and Kakashi squatted on the pillar beside him.

"Hello! I'm late again today!" Kakashi greeted them with a smile!

"Ms. Kakashi! Don't take it for granted that you're late, okay?"

Naruto, Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura roared angrily.

"Hey? Who's who? Who's here?"

Ye Shenyue was woken up by several people, subconsciously sat up and looked at them with a sleepy face.

The next moment, Ye Shenyue was surprised to find that there was an extra piece of paper in his hand, but it was Kakashi who took advantage of his slack moment and stuffed it into his hand with the Body Flicker Technique.

"This is... the application form for the Chūnin exam?"

Ye Shenyue instantly regained her spirits.

"I don't want to take the Chūnin exam! I'm still young! I'm going to do a D-level mission!"

Once you take the Chūnin exam, it means that Ye Shenyue will become a Chūnin.

At that time, I will not be able to be so leisurely, and I will grab the B-level tasks.

Ye Shenyue doesn't want to go there.

"Boss! But after we become Chūnin, we are one step closer to Hokage!" Uzumaki Naruto said to Ye Shenyue.

Ye Shenyue shook his head, "I'm not interested in Hokage. My interest is to be a salted fish waiting to die. My dream is to be a salted fish forever. The D-level task is my stubbornness, and the C-level task is my final bottom line. As for Well, the Chūnin exam, I won’t take it even if I die!”

"Humph."

Kakashi looked at Ye Shenyue with a smirk on his face, he kept boasting, and now Ye Shenyue said that he didn't want to go to the Chūnin exam?

How can it be?

"Ye Shenyue, I suddenly feel that your physical fitness has deteriorated. Starting tomorrow, I will go to your house to wake you up at five o'clock every day, and run ten laps around Konoha Village with you!"

"ah?"

Ye Shenyue looked at Kakashi who turned his face faster than a book with a dazed expression.

"And bear a hundred catties, you should think about it~"

Kakashi looked at the hesitation on Ye Shenyue's face, and whispered in his ear:

"After you become a Chūnin, you won't be able to guide Jōnin anymore. When the time comes, you can set up a team by yourself, so you can do whatever you want?"

"hiss……"

Ye Shenyue couldn't help but gasp when she heard this, and then her eyes shone amazingly.

Then he grabbed the application form in Kakashi's hand and couldn't wait to sign his name.

"Chūnin exam, long live!"

Looking at Ye Shenyue who had changed so quickly, the three of Naruto couldn't help but look at each other, and then signed their names.

Kakashi held their application form in satisfaction and smiled lightly:

"I hope you will do well in the Chūnin exam! If you pass the Chūnin exam! I treat you to a feast!"
