Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 160 Jonin Exam Begins

early morning.

The Forest of Death.

When Jin arrived, a number of people were already waiting.

Looking around, all he could see were heads. If he hadn't known it was the Jonin Exams, he would have thought all the Konoha ninjas had come.

That's outrageous.

"Here, here." Minato Namikaze was waving, while Kushina stood to the side with a worried expression.

Jin walked over and joined the two.

His gaze swept around, and there were at least several hundred people, perhaps even close to a thousand.

In previous years, the number of Jonin in Konoha was only around two hundred, and even at its peak, it did not exceed three hundred.

The number of deaths on the battlefield is unknown, but even with reinforcements, it's impossible to replenish so many people.

Even genin might not reach this many chunin.

"Are Jonin-level skills commonplace these days?"

Although Jin had heard from many people that there were a lot of participants in this year's Jonin Exams, seeing it in person still felt unbelievable.

It's normal for it to be the Chunin Exams, but the Jonin is the pinnacle that a ninja can reach.

The shadow is a separate item.

If all these people were to become Jonin, Konoha would be able to surpass its previous peak strength.

There's no need to fight anymore; just telling people would scare them to death.

Even the Hidden Stone Village couldn't find that many Jonin.

They are known for having a large number of ninjas, but the number of Jonin is not much different from other villages. It is only in the number of Genin and Chunin that they exceed the number of other ninja villages.

If a village has an overwhelming number of Jonin, it could easily crush all other villages.

"Isn't this all because you developed ninjutsu?"

Kushina rolled her eyes at Kin; the ninjutsu he developed was far too easy to create experts.

Whether it's the Six Styles, basic internal skills, or even the Three Colors of Overpowering Aura, one can continuously cultivate and improve upon them.

"When you fight them, you'll realize it's all your ninjutsu."

Kushina imagined that scene: two ninjas proficient in the Six Powers fighting, battling until the world turned upside down, both using the same taijutsu, unable to counter each other's moves.

Jin stroked his chin, deeply moved, as he had already seen many ninjas retreating from the Cloud Village front.

The Three-Colored Haki is the ninjutsu that provides the greatest boost to strength.

Although he had never sparred with anyone other than White Fang, he knew that many people on the Cloud Ninja Front had made rapid progress in the past year or so.

Is this year's Jonin Exams going to be a battle between Naruto and One Piece?

After all, most of his village swapping ideas were inspired by One Piece.

"I estimate that in a few years, there will be a new position for Jonin."

Minato Namikaze sighed. Jonin, as the pinnacle of ninjas, was already few in number. But as the number of Jonin increased, the status of Jonin was no longer as desirable as before.

As for elite Jonin, they are just Jonin with an added title, but they are still Jonin in essence.

The authority is largely a power delegated by the Hokage.

"What else could be above that? We can't just throw a shadow at it, can we?"

Jin curled his lip; even if others were willing to do it, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never agree.

Neither Minato Namikaze nor Kushina responded to Kin's words. They couldn't respond to them; it felt like doing so would be disrespectful to the Third Hokage.

"They're here."

Jin suddenly looked at the locked door.

That was the gate that prevented ordinary people from entering the Forest of Death. You should know that the Forest of Death is not only large, but also contains many ninja beasts that can easily reap the lives of ordinary people.

"What's here?" Kushina asked curiously.

Minato Namikaze didn't find anything either, and the two followed Kin's gaze to the locked gate.

With a "bang," smoke billowed out.

Orochimaru appeared at the gate with Might Guy and two other ninjas.

Will Matt Daly also take this exam?

Jin asked curiously.

"Yes." Minato Namikaze nodded.

"Lord Might Guy is a formidable opponent this time."

To some extent, if the Jonin Exams included combat assessments, then Might Guy's appearance would have been a foul.

"Yeah?"

King was quite interested in sparring with Might Guy, after all, he was still confident in his own abilities.

"Everyone."

When Orochimaru spoke, everyone in the room fell silent. Orochimaru's name was now the most famous.

The name of the Three Legendary Sannin is now a major focus of Konoha's propaganda, and the reputation of the Third Hokage has also risen considerably, since the reputation of the master-disciple relationship is related.

"I am Orochimaru, the chief examiner for this year's Jonin."

"This is also the first Jonin Exam in Konoha. The exam is divided into two parts. The first part is the survival test, which mainly tests everyone's strength. The second part is the written test, which is also the comprehensive written test in the past."

It adds a survival test to the original requirements and relaxes the conditions for becoming a Jonin. After all, the strength that can be recognized by the Hokage seems simple, but it is actually very difficult to achieve.

Even if you have the strength, you need to let the Hokage see it or have made outstanding achievements before the Hokage will acknowledge your strength.

Subjective consciousness plays a significant role in this.

Now it's different. Any Chunin or Special Jonin can apply, the only requirement being that a Jonin acknowledges their strength.

"Now, let's announce the survival assessment details."

As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, the ninja next to him quickly formed hand seals, placed his hands on the ground, and two large boxes appeared as smoke rose from them.

"Each person needs to take a number tag on the left and a slip of paper on the right. The slip of paper has the corresponding number on it."

Orochimaru pointed at the two boxes and then stretched out his palm.

There are five rules.

"First, losing your number plate means losing your eligibility to take the exam."

"Second, those who fail to obtain the number plate on the slip of paper within the specified time will be disqualified."

"Third, you must not leave the Death Forest area, otherwise you will lose your eligibility to take the exam."

"Fourth, the number plate must not be more than ten centimeters away from the person, otherwise it is equivalent to losing the number plate."

"Fifth, no one shall be killed. The punishment for killing someone shall remain the same as that for killing someone within the village."

"That's all. Now, please collect your number plates."

After Orochimaru finished announcing the rules, Might Guy took the lead and picked up a number plate with the number 39, and then picked up a piece of paper.

He unfolded the note directly in front of everyone.

"Everyone! Let's ignite our youth!"

"This idiot." Jin stared speechlessly at the sky, while Orochimaru slapped himself in frustration.

Looking at the number 3 on the slip of paper.

This number has probably been abandoned by everyone.

Few people want to witness Might Guy's strength. Even King wouldn't choose number three, since although he's confident in his abilities, what if he loses?

Then let's just announce that the exam is over.

Soon after the first one appeared, a second one followed.

Jin picked up a number plate with the number 666 from the crowd. It was a very auspicious number. Unlike others, he didn't hide the number plate on his body, but instead openly pinned it to his chest.

Wait until both boxes are empty.

Orochimaru waved his hand.

"It will last for seven days."

"The assessment begins!"
