The Avenger of the Uzumaki Clan

‘Chunnin Exam? Didn’t expect it to be held this year? If it’s next year, it’ll be just right. This year, let’s not talk about the others, even Menma and Sasuke are still too young. . . ’

In the queue, Iruka also shook his head gently in his heart.

In fact, when Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, none of the Chunins who had just led the team this year spoke. They knew their own affairs very well. The teams led by these Chunins were almost all ordinary people. In the past six months since graduation, they have been carrying out D-level and C-level tasks. Only a few teams have just started. It’s still too early to participate in the Chunin Exam.

Therefore, none of these Chunins spoke.

Iruka’s face also showed a look of ‘as expected’.

Just when Iruka thought that this meeting would end here.

"I, Hatake Kakashi, as a jonin, recommend Uzumaki Menma, Namikaze Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Haruno Sakura to participate in this Chunin Exam."

"I, Sarutobi Asuma, as a jonin, recommend..."

"I, Kurenai Yuhi..."

Just like in the original book.

Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai Yuhi successively recommended the newly graduated Genin in their own team to participate in this Chunin Exam.

'All three of them recommended their subordinates? '

'They seem to have just graduated, right? '

'Is this just a dispute of pride? '

'It shouldn't be that serious, right? '

'I still don't think it's very reliable. '

'Maybe this is a genius? '

The other Chunins in the following positions also showed a hint of surprise, and frequently communicated with each other with their eyes.

Iruka's face changed as he stepped out and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen on the main seat in a respectful and hurried tone: "Hokage, please forgive me for being blunt. I think it is not appropriate to let the Genin who just graduated half a year ago take part in the Chunin Exam. Please consider it."

Even though Iruka knew that his words might offend the three Jonin who just recommended his subordinates, as a teacher of the Ninja School, Iruka felt that he had an obligation to stand up at this time. He couldn't really let these children take unnecessary risks, right?

"Iruka-san, Naruto and Menma are no longer your students, but formal Konoha ninjas. And you should not know their growth in the past six months, right? As the captain of Team 7, I know their current strength very well. They are fully qualified to take part in this Chunin Exam!"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could say anything.

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Iruka, saying with a very serious expression.

"But!"

But Iruka obviously didn't believe Kakashi's words, and subconsciously felt that Kakashi and others were forcing things to happen, and was about to say something.

"Okay, Iruka, just as Kakashi said, Menma, Naruto and others are now official Konoha ninjas. They are qualified to participate in this Chunin Exam. This is also a very good training for them, and the recommendation of the Jonin is also a kind of recognition."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, interrupted Iruka, and said slowly.

Iruka could still refute Kakashi and others' words with courage, but when Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth.

Even if Iruka had thousands of words, he could only hold them in his heart.

After his expression did not change, he sighed silently in his heart, and could only step back and bow his head and answer: "Yes, Lord Hokage."

"Well, then the list of participants this time has been finalized. There can be no mistakes in the subsequent preparations. Do you understand?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned forward slightly and said with a solemn look.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

The ninjas below also replied in a deep voice at the same time.

Then.

After explaining some other issues in the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen announced the dissolution.

Chunin Exam.

This is already one of the major affairs of a ninja village.

In peacetime, the most direct means of competition among ninja villages in various countries is the Chunin Exam. Through such a joint assessment, they can show the strength of their own ninja villages and strive for more task shares for their own ninja villages.

This is a major event that really concerns the interests of ninja villages.

As the Kage of a village, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally needs to pay special attention. Even though most of the things can be handed over to the people below, there are still some necessary matters that need to be reviewed and handled by Sarutobi Hiruzen himself.

For example, it has been confirmed that the Kazekage of Sand Village will come to Konohagakure to watch the final stage of the competition, as well as the daimyos of the Land of Fire, Land of Wind, and some surrounding countries. These people will need to be received by Sarutobi Hiruzen in person.

And just when the meeting was just held in the Hokage Building.

Menma, who was considered to have a vacation time, also stepped towards the largest commercial street in Konohagakure.

After completely solving the worries about funds in the previous period.

Menma planned to replace himself with a new set of equipment.

Not only in terms of ninja tools.

But also in terms of his own clothing.

Before, he had been wearing almost the same clothes as Naruto in the original book. Of course, it was not ugly.

But no matter how you look at it, it feels very rustic.

Therefore, Menma took some time to draw a few simple pictures of the clothes, referring to the fire cloud robe of the Akatsuki organization, removing the high collar and the fire cloud part, and modifying it into a coat with middle sleeves.

It was matched with dark ninja clothes and slim trousers below.

It was directly taken to the largest clothing store in Konohagakure to be customized.

Red and black, white and blue, and red and white were ordered for several sets.

Today happened to be the day to notify the delivery.

After arriving at the store and seeing the finished product, Menma was already very satisfied, and changed into the red and black outfit in the dressing room.

Looking at himself in the giant floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The corners of Menma's mouth also slightly raised a beautiful arc.

Even the clerk behind him subconsciously brightened up.

Menma's appearance is very good, and his face is similar to Minato's. Now with this outfit, he looks like a beautiful boy.

But it was only for a second.

The clerk lowered his eyes again.

Menma's image in the eyes of the people in Konohagakure Village has not changed at all. It's just because of the forehead protector on Menma's forehead that these people have to suppress their emotions in public.

Menma doesn't care about the opinions and feelings of these people.

After checking that the other sets of clothes meet his requirements.

Menma paid the balance and left the clothing store leisurely.
