My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 36 To Become a Chunin

Sadly, there is no bounty.

Not all missions will pay for money. For example, during the Konoha Collapse Plan, although the missions Kakashi gave to the Konoha villains were counted into the total number of missions, there was actually no monetary reward.

After all, when working for the village, talking about money is inevitably a bit hurtful. Fortunately, it will be counted into the total number of tasks and used to measure whether a person is qualified for promotion and... show-off.

Is it an alternative military reward?
Link's mission this time is the same, which is to assist and guide the senior ninja to pick up his companions. It is a part-time job type mission.

Anyway, he had anticipated this in advance, so it didn't matter if he had no money, as long as it could be used as a stepping stone for promotion.

In the following life, he became a little busy, or rather, very busy.

The Chunin Exam is being held, and a number of Genin ninjas who are qualified to perform C-rank missions are fully committed to the exhibition match, so someone has to take on the extra tasks.

Nara Yanshui wanted to train him, and it was also his own request, so in the following time, he was either on his way to carry out a mission or on his way back to the village.

Team 3's footprints can be found in many towns surrounding Konoha Village. In the one and a half months of the Chunin Exam, they completed a total of 2 C-level missions and D-level missions, but no B-level missions were ever seen. It is impossible for Nara Yui to take them with him on every mission, and it is even more impossible for him to issue extraordinary missions frequently.

That's right, Link discovered that his own guiding jonin was not a babysitter for them around the clock. On the contrary, he had his own missions. The next missions for Team 5 were often taken along the way to accommodate the high-level missions received by Nara Yui.

The three people in Class 5 are just accessories.

With the ninja's mobility, the time they spend on the way to a mission or resting after completing a mission is enough for Nara Saltwater to go over and complete the mission.

Although they completed a lot of missions, including three C missions that required leaving the village in one and a half months, Team 5 basically just hung around Konoha Village and did not go as far as the first time they left the village to go to Tansho Street.

One of them is to capture wild animals on the edge of the village to fill the training ground.

The other two C-rank missions involved conflicts with a group of ronin employed by a company. Link hardly took any action, but commanded Iris and Kasumi to instantly divide, kill, and disperse the enemy. The last time he took action was because Iris was injured in the reckless advance, and he had to step in to clean up the mess.

A ninja who has been trained in the ninja school has an overwhelming advantage over a ronin. For a ninja like him, killing a ronin is no more difficult than killing a wild beast.

After the Chunin Exams were over, C-rank missions became less numerous and more popular, and Team 5's frantic mission taking came to an end.

Time passed quickly in practice - carrying out missions - practice, until the end of August, when the fifth team temporarily returned to the village for rest and recuperation, a sudden good news arrived.

"I finally got it, the Earth Dragon Hiding Technique..."

Link originally thought that he was going to become a Chunin, and then apply to the village and go to the ninjutsu library to look up this obsolete low-level earth escape technique. Unexpectedly, someone actually knew the somewhat unpopular Earth Dragon Hide Jutsu. After he paid a deposit, he successfully obtained the ninjutsu.

Before he could even warm up to the ninjutsu scroll, Nara Yui found him celebrating at Ichiraku Ramen and told him:

You are going to be promoted to Chunin.
-
Hokage's office.

"click"

The Sandaime Hokage put his seal on it and casually stacked the document on top of the pile of papers next to him, looking up at the Genin standing across from him at the desk.

Well, you have to move a little further to look the other person in the eye.

[Should I ask the Anbu to replace the desk with a one-meter one in the future…] As a mature Kage, the Sandaime thought about his future plans while saying kindly, "Link, Genin, congratulations." "Nominated by Jonin Nara Yuito, and recognized by the village's top leaders, you have all the qualifications to become a Chunin. From today on, you are a Chunin of Konoha Village."

"To become a Chunin, one must not only possess a certain level of combat capability, but also intelligence gathering, teamwork, battle situation analysis, and tactical application capabilities. These are all essential qualities for a Chunin..."

All of this is from the Konoha Chunin Instruction Manual...

Link stood there, listening to the Sandaime Hokage chattering for ten minutes. He finally knew who compiled the "Konoha Chunin Instruction Manual" and why Nara Yui looked at him with a smile when he walked into the Hokage's office and said that he was going to the bathroom.

It was clearly a double blessing, not only did he obtain the ninjutsu he wanted, but he was also successfully promoted to Chunin. But for some reason, when he stood in the Hokage's office, he always felt like he was leading a meeting in his previous life.

I just can't be happy.

But familiar.

So he quickly got into the state, listened attentively, nodded from time to time to show his agreement, and his mind was entirely focused on what he would do after becoming a Chunin.

The Sandaime Hokage talked about the necessary qualities of a Chunin, the development of the village, and finally ended successfully with the Will of Fire. He looked at the little boy with his back straight and his face calm with a satisfied look on his face, and nodded with satisfaction.

[What a nice kid!] He sighed to himself.

Link came back to his senses. In his previous life, he had listened to many speeches by his leaders, so he naturally developed the skill of being able to be distracted and yet semi-automatically agree with them. Most of those words went in one ear and out the other.

[Finally done, can I go get my Chunin vest now? ] he thought to himself.

"Link Chunin." The Sandaime Hokage stared at the new generation genius who was only nine years old. Perhaps it was because of his age, but when he looked at such a young kid who showed special talents, he always thought of his most favorite disciple.

"Please remember that the power of a ninja does not depend on an individual, but on the whole village."

"Yes." Link bowed his head slightly.

The Sandaime Hokage turned his head to look outside, looking at the prosperous Konoha, a slight smile appeared on his serious face, and he pushed the newly stamped Chunin certification letter to the edge of the desk and said: "Well, congratulations again."

Link stepped forward, took his certificate of becoming a Chunin, bowed, and said, "Sandaime-sama, I apologize first."

After that, he turned around and left.

"Knock knock." The Sandaime Hokage knocked on the table, picked up his pipe, and said, "Increase the protection level of Chunin Link."

From concern to protection, that's all he can do.

Whether it was the first generation who killed his friends and was willing to wipe out anyone who was an enemy of the village, or the second generation who sacrificed himself alone to cover the retreat, or the fourth generation who gave his life for the village, as Kage, they all did well enough and also shouldered more.

The world cannot be made to go round by fair and honest means alone. Ninja is a dark profession, and what the shadow carries and bears must be a deeper darkness.

And he who failed to bear the darkness must be the most naive and incompetent one.
