Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 578 The Chunin Exams Officially Begin (Part 1)

Konoha Village's inner castle.

Inside the Hokage's office:

"Holy Hokage, these are the children from Takigakure who are participating in the Chunin Exams held by your village." Fu said to Yuya with a lively expression.

Looking at the grinning girl in front of him, Yuya's face darkened: "The Chunin Exams are still months away, didn't you guys send her here way too early?!"

Fu looked at Yuya with a puzzled expression: "Is that not allowed? But Hokage, isn't it only right that you come to Konoha Village beforehand to familiarize yourself with the environment?"

You Ya opened his mouth, "What you're saying makes sense..."

But Youya still retorted, "But who comes six months in advance?!"

Fu said matter-of-factly, hands on her hips, "Our child is a bit slow, so we came early."

You Ya: "???"

Taking a deep breath, Youya waved his hand: "Alright, alright, since you're here, just stay put."

Fu chuckled, then looked at Youya and asked matter-of-factly, "May I ask where we're staying?"

You Ya: "Someone will take care of things for you. Just follow the staff."

Fu nodded: "Okay."

Then she asked, "How many meals can we eat a day?"

Youya looked at Fu with a strange expression.

However, the girl looked completely at ease, showing no fear in meeting You Ya's gaze.

Seeing Fu's expression, Yua's initial thought—that these guys might be here to freeload in Konoha—was immediately dismissed.

That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard of any famine in Takigakure. How could they be here to freeload in Konoha?

Oh well, it was originally intended for other villages anyway. It's a bit strange that only one village is included, but...

Anyway, starting six months in advance won't waste too much food, so let's just open it.

So Youya said that the food would naturally be provided by his side as well.

The main reason is that when countries that previously competed in Asia held such international competitions, they would basically arrange everything for the athletes, including food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation.

Although the Chunin Exams are not strictly speaking a competition, Yuya felt that it would be shameful to do poorly in any aspect.

You Ya didn't want to embarrass herself.

So, Fu led the children from Takigakure directly into the examination hall, which was specially prepared by Yua for the Chunin Exams.

This examination center is located in a separate residential area in the northern part of Konoha Village, set aside as a resting place for candidates taking the Chunin Exams held in Konoha this year.

This place has everything imaginable.

The community boasts comprehensive sports facilities and features desert terrain, a giant swimming pool, and artificial mountains, resembling landscapes from other countries.

These are not the main points. The main point is that there are a lot of staff members in this community who are responsible for various aspects of the work.

For example, security, and oversight.

Fu was amazed by the facilities at the examination hall on her first day there, when she and three children from Takigakure arrived.

That's so comprehensive!

Basically, no matter what skill you need to develop, there will be a corresponding area here for you to train that skill.

There are also an exceptionally wide variety of shops, which can be said to give you all the choices, but you might not be used to it.

Fu even saw the brand of cigarettes that her master liked to smoke.

That's not some particularly famous cigarette brand; it's only sold within the Takigakure village.

On their first day there, Fu and the children were very happy.

Because the facilities here are so high-end.

You can go anywhere and do nothing but show your face on the screen, and everything will be taken care of.

The door can be opened, and various electrical appliances can be controlled by showing one's face, which can be said to maximize the emotional value.

After that, Fu led the children to the most important place—the cafeteria.

Without a doubt, the cafeteria is of utmost importance to Fu.

She came here specifically to freeload at Konoha Village's cafeteria.

In reality, she wasn't sure whether Konoha Village would guarantee the participants' food, clothing, and lodging for the upcoming Chunin Exams.

However, judging from the various events held by Konoha Village in the past involving multiple villages, Konoha Village has never failed to arrange everything properly.

It seems she was right.

You can eat Konoha without worry and have a great time here for half a year.

Fu and the students from Takigakure settled down there.

That evening, Youya received a notification from the kitchen.

Damn, are these guys from Takigakure reincarnated starving ghosts?!

Even though only one-twentieth of the usual amount of food was prepared, it's a bit too outrageous that it was all eaten!

Oh well, being able to eat is a blessing.

Ultimately, Youya raised its market share to a higher level.

……

The news that people from Takigakure had come to Konoha to prepare for the Chunin Exams, which would take place six months later, quickly spread to other villages.

Many people are wondering why Takigakure is sending people to Konoha so early.

However, some villages thought about it carefully and felt that keeping up wouldn't be a problem.

After all, the training ground inside their village was actually just a very simple open space.

However, judging from the message posted on Weibo by that girl from Takigakure, Konoha Village has very complete facilities.

If they went to Konoha Village for training, they could probably achieve twice the result with half the effort.

As a result, people gradually began to arrive at Konoha Village.

You Ya was not surprised by this.

Once someone takes the lead, people from other villages will naturally follow suit.

Soon, just three months later, in June of Konoha 64, people from many villages had already come to Konoha Village.

After arranging for these people to be stationed at the Examination Hall, Yuya began to prepare for the Chunin Exams.

We absolutely cannot afford any major problems in this Chunin Exams, which will be a crucial test for the entire ninja world.

If it's a minor issue, Youya won't care, but if a major problem arises, Youya will definitely not be satisfied.

Although this is the first edition, and theoretically it shouldn't be taken so seriously, You Ya understands this perfectly well.

The first time is always very important for anything.

Especially large-scale events like this.

The first time is even more crucial!

Because if you do it well the first time, it is very likely to become a habit in the future.

Once this becomes a practice, if conflicts arise between the villages in the future...

Therefore, choosing to use underhanded tactics during the Chunin Exams is better than engaging in direct combat.

That's what Youya thought.

Of course, Youya has also prepared very generous rewards for ranking.

He has prepared rewards for all the places from first to one hundredth.

What Yuya didn't expect was...

There were exactly 108 participants this time.

That is to say, out of all the villages in the ninja world, they only sent a total of 36 teams.

In fact, this number is not small.

After all, not every village is like Konoha Village, which allows all four teams of 12 people to participate in this exam.
