The third assessment took place in a forest. The two teams faced each other, separated by a dozen meters. The examiner glanced at the two prepared teams, then retreated: "Begin!"

As soon as the words were spoken, both sides launched their attacks simultaneously.

Hoshino Shuichi pretended to form two hand seals, then opened his mouth and a large number of fireballs shot out, covering everyone.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!

The speed at which this ninjutsu was released was too fast, completely exceeding the expectations of the three members of the Uchiha Yuto clan. They had previously thought that Hoshino Shuichi was entirely focused on close combat.

In an instant, the three's formation was disrupted, and they all dodged to avoid each other.

In the meantime, Kurama Sanyou had already completed a genjutsu, covering the two people except for Uchiha Yuto.

However, having an Uchiha who is skilled in genjutsu as a teammate means that, although they may not be proficient in genjutsu, they have a wealth of experience in dealing with it.

In the blink of an eye, both of them broke free of the illusion and met Kurama Yamayo.

In a close-quarters battle, two against one, Kurama Yamayo was kicked away in the blink of an eye.

But at this time, Hoshino Shuichi also completed the preparations for the Crescent Moon Dance.

Draw your sword, charge forward, three against two!

In the blink of an eye, two figures were sent flying backward, unconscious without uttering a sound.

Having dealt with their opponent, Hoshino Shuichi and Kurama Yamayo looked to the other side.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Hayato were locked in a fierce battle, their weapons clanging and sparks flying.

Seeing that Hoshino and his companion had defeated their opponents, Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "Looks like I need to hurry too..."

Seizing the opportunity, Uchiha Shisui retreated and sheathed his sword, then formed hand seals: Body Flicker Technique!

His form multiplied, and Uchiha Shisui moved at high speed around Uchiha Hayato, creating more and more figures.

"Shadow clones?"

Yuuto Uchiha tested the attack with his shuriken, only to find it passed right through him: "Afterimage? Genjutsu?"

Suddenly, one after another, Uchiha Shisuis arrived.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Yuuto Uchiha brandished his longsword and kunai to defend himself, shocked: "These are all physical attacks!"

Before he could figure out the technique, Uchiha Shisui knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck from behind.

Done, call it a day!

The examiner announced, "Watergate Team wins!"

……

Outside the examination hall, Minato Namikaze looked at Hoshino Shuichi and the other two as they walked out and said with a smile, "Well done. I'll treat you to barbecue at noon as an early celebration."

The four left gracefully, but the other teams had to continue their battle.

In the afternoon, instead of training with Tsunade after lunch, Hoshino Shizuka waited for the results of the Chunin Exams in front of the Hokage Building with Minato Namikaze and the other two.

Today happens to be the weekend, and Shizune, Kai, Kurenai, Asuma, and others have gathered together to wait for news.

At 3 p.m., the list of those promoted to Chunin was posted.

Hoshino Shuichi, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyo are unsurprisingly on the list.

Only five people were promoted to Chunin this time.

"Shuichi, you're now the youngest Chunin in Konoha!"

Kurama Sanyo looked at the names on the list and said excitedly.

This statement immediately attracted the attention of everyone around.

"The youngest?"

"Shuichi Hoshita... I think he just graduated this year!"

"Wait, I remember a guy who graduated at five years old, could it be him?"

"No, the five-year-old is the son of Konoha's White Fang."

……

The surrounding area buzzed with discussion. Kurama San'yō, feeling proud, exclaimed, "Shuichi is not even seven years old yet!"

"sharp!"

"He became a Chunin before he was even seven years old!"

"How did he do that?"

"I watched his fight yesterday. He was incredibly fast and defeated his opponent in one move. His opponent was from the Uchiha clan and had even awakened the Sharingan."

More people started talking about it, and many of the female ninjas who had gathered there looked at Hoshino Hideichi with shining eyes.

Hoshita Hideichi quickly pulled Kurama Sanyou along and headed into the Hokage Building.

10 minute later.

After receiving their Chunin badges, Hoshino Shuichi and his two companions walked out of the Hokage Building. After saying goodbye to Minato Namikaze and the others, Hoshino Shuichi walked towards Shizune and the others.

"Congratulations to Shuichi on his promotion to Chunin!"

"The youngest Chunin must be the youngest in the entire ninja world!"

"That's amazing! As expected of Shuichi!"

Everyone started talking at once.

……

"As expected of Shuichi, he's so popular no matter where he goes."

Kurama Sanyou looked at Hoshishita Shuichi and couldn't help but sigh.

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "Outstanding people are always attractive."

Minato Namikaze, however, noticed Shizune next to Shuichi Hoshita and couldn't help but think of Kushina Uzumaki, chuckling, "Shisui and San'yō probably have girls who like them too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kurama Sanyo blushed and immediately ran away.

Uchiha Shisui, on the contrary, remained calm and composed: "I don't have a girl I like yet, but it seems Minato-sensei already does, and he's quite impatient!"

Minato Namikaze smiled somewhat awkwardly after hearing this: "Since you already know, then I won't keep you company here any longer."

After patting Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder, Namikaze Minato disappeared.

……

After agreeing to train together with Shizune and the others at 5 o'clock, Hoshino Shuichi headed towards Konoha Hospital.

I made a promise with Tsunade yesterday to continue today.

However, he had only taken a few steps when Hoshino Shuichi saw a figure waiting for him with a smile.

"Sister Tianyun!"

Hoshita Shuichi quickly walked up.

"Congratulations to Shuichi on his promotion to Chunin, becoming the youngest Chunin in Konoha's history."

Tianyun smiled broadly and bent down slightly to hand over the gift she had prepared.

"Thanks!"

Hoshino thanked him and accepted the gift with both hands.

A ninjutsu scroll?

Hoshita Shuichi didn't immediately open it to check. He walked and talked with Tenyun until they arrived at Konoha Hospital, where Tenyun hugged Hoshita Shuichi and turned to leave.

As Xingxia Xiuyi watched Tianyun leave, about to turn around, a voice rang in his ear: "Looks like you're quite popular with women!"

Turning around, Hoshino Shuichi calmly said, "If Lady Tsunade doesn't contradict me, this statement will be even more convincing!"

Tsunade curled her lips upon hearing this and said sternly, "That won't do. Since it's training, we must take it seriously."

Hoshita Shuichi couldn't help but purse his lips.

Tsunade smiled even more broadly and waved her hand: "Let's get started!"

The beating has officially begun!

……

About an hour later, Hoshino Shizuka collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Not far away, Tsunade supported herself on her thighs, panting heavily, sweat pouring down her forehead: "That brat is really a pain."

"Exceptional reflexes, unparalleled concentration, and a faster recovery speed than the average person... truly a born ninja."

Catching her breath, Tsunade stepped forward: "Hey, are you alright?"

Hoshino Shuichi, lying on the ground, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He has already taken the soldier's ration pills twice.

"Lady Tsunade, I'm not even seven years old yet!"

Hideichi Hoshino emphasized this.

Tsunade scoffed, "On the battlefield, the enemy won't care if you're under seven years old."

After saying that, her expression softened: "Let's call it a day then."

"By the way, congratulations on becoming a Chunin! You're the youngest Chunin in Konoha's history!"

Hoshino Shuichi got up from the ground and then reached out his hand to Tsunade.

Tsunade paused for a moment.

Hoshita Hideaki said, "Shouldn't Lady Tsunade have prepared a congratulatory gift beforehand?"

Tsunade's face darkened: "We'll talk about that when you become a Jonin!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked away, her high heels clicking away.
