In Konoha, they wiped out the Sarutobi clan at the start.

Chapter 23 Promotion to Jonin

Chiya laughed, "It's an honor to receive praise from the Copy Ninja. However, after those two techniques, I've released one more."

Having finished speaking, the "Magic Tree Binding Kill!" was already activated.

Suddenly, Chiya disappeared from Kakashi's and everyone else's sight.

At the same time, a sapling grew rapidly from under Kakashi's feet, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a tree that would take several people to encircle.

Clang.

The katana slipped from Kakashi's hand, and his body was bound to the tree, unable to free itself.

Meanwhile, Chiya slowly emerged from the trees, holding his Zanpakuto, and aimed it at Kakashi.

"Illusionary Tree Binding Kill, you can even use this move? You truly deserve to be called a genius of illusion techniques by Red." Kakashi looked up at Chiyo, his expression solemn.

"Tit for tat. Kakashi-senpai is still more powerful. This one of you is probably just a clone." Chiya sheathed his sword and dispelled the illusion.

"Hmm," Kakashi replied softly, without denying it.

His entire body transformed into lightning and vanished from everyone's sight, while his true form emerged from the hole in the ground where Qianye had previously used the mental decapitation technique.

Chiya sheathed his sword, and Kakashi also put away his katana.

Neither of them made another move, so the incense had burned out.

"Time's up." With the referee's announcement, the duel officially ended, and Kakashi and Chiya formed the Reconciliation Seal.

This marks the end of the battle.

"Clap clap." Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and clapped his hands, praising, "Chiya, I never expected you could fight Kakashi to this extent. You're truly remarkable."

"Lord Hokage, you flatter me. Kakashi-senpai was just playing around with me." Chiya began his usual Versailles routine. "If he had used Lightning Release: Shadow Clone Jutsu to paralyze me and then launched a surprise attack, I would have been in serious trouble. Besides, Kakashi-senpai still has his signature technique, Lightning Blade, that he hasn't used yet."

"Humble and modest, and a successor to the Will of Fire, he's a promising talent." Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself, increasingly pleased with Chiya. He looked around and announced loudly, "I think you all witnessed Chiya's strength just now. He has undoubtedly completed the Chunin Exams."

"As I said before, if Qianye can demonstrate sufficient strength, he can be promoted to Jonin without any exceptions. Now, everyone, please raise your hands to vote. Those who agree to promote Qianye to Jonin, please raise your hands."

As they were talking, Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to raise his hand.

Next up is Kakashi, who is Chiya's rival.

Like Itachi Uchiha, he also vaguely sensed that Chiya hadn't used his full strength, although he hadn't either.

The third was Itachi Uchiha. Finally, all the Anbu members directly under the Hokage raised their hands in agreement.

joke.

Since the Hokage has agreed.

If they still disagree, aren't they just asking for trouble?

Moreover, Chiyo's qualities in all aspects truly deserve the title of Jonin.

Especially in terms of illusion magic, it was enough to give most of the people present a headache.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado also raised their hands. These two have always been opportunistic, and with Chiya's promotion to Jonin, infiltrating the Uchiha clan is quite in their interest.

I will naturally not oppose things that are beneficial and harmless.

As for Danzo, to everyone's surprise, he, who always liked to contradict the Third Hokage, surprisingly did not object this time. Instead, he raised his hand in agreement with a gentle expression.

This surprised most of those present who knew him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Alright, in that case, Chiya, congratulations. From today onwards, you are officially a member of the Konoha Jonin. Keep up the good work. And Kurenai too, being able to teach such an excellent genjutsu ninja as Chiya, the word 'special' can be dropped."

"Thank you, Lord Hokage." Kurenai Yuhi knelt on one knee before Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Chiya, of course, would not kneel down. Instead, she activated Kyoka Suigetsu and made a kneeling gesture towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing the two's devout expressions, Hiruzen Sarutobi's smile grew even wider. He waved his hand, signaling them to get up, and continued, "Chiyo, although you have become a Jonin, your attack methods are still too limited."

Regarding this, Kakashi, I'll give you a day off tomorrow. Go and give him some pointers when you have time.

Before long, Chiya and Kakashi arranged a training location.

He then put on the Jonin vest he had just received and left the Forest of Death with Kurenai Yuhi.

The two strolled down the street. Kurenai Yuhi was dressed in his usual bandaged outfit. At the prime of his youth, he didn't like this style of combat attire.

"Chiya, where did you learn the Decapitation Technique and Shadow Clone Technique from?" Kurenai finally asked the question that had been bothering her. Because she hadn't taught Chiya these techniques.

"I asked Izumi to find it for me," Qianye said, half-jokingly revealing this not-so-secret secret.

In fact, the Mind Decapitation Technique, the simplest Earth Release ninjutsu, was obtained by Chiya on the day he was promoted to Genin.

It was a springtime of renewal, when the earth was bursting with life.

Chiya stayed overnight at Uchiha Izumi's house, which was quite unusual for her.

The two slept, one on the bed and the other on the floor. When Chiya woke up the next day, she found Uchiha Izumi sleeping in her arms, thus triggering the lolicon option.

1. Kiss Uchiha Izumi and be rewarded with the Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique.

2. One step to the stomach, acting like a beast, starting with three years, the maximum penalty is death, reward is the complete guide to the Ghost Path of the Grim Reaper world.

3. Do nothing, just wake him up, turn him into something worse than an animal, and reward him with Chiyo-baba's underwear.

The result was unsurprising: Chiya chose one.

Uchiha Izumi was just too young, only eleven years old at the time. How could I, Fujiwara no Izumi, bring myself to do it?

At the very least, one has to be over the legal age, right?

"Uchiha, huh?" Kurenai Yuhi suddenly realized, then seemed to remember something and reminded her, "You can learn common ninjutsu like Shadow Clone Jutsu and Heart-Bending Technique, but remember not to learn the Uchiha clan's unique ninjutsu, otherwise, they might cause you trouble."

"besides."

At this point, Kurenai hesitated for a moment, glancing around out of the corner of her eye.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered a reminder in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I know you and a girl from the Uchiha clan are childhood friends, but the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village is very tense right now. Remember not to have too much contact with the Uchiha clan members."

"Hong, are you concerned about me?" Qianye stopped in his tracks, his deep black eyes fixed on her with undisguised admiration and ambiguity.

The two locked eyes. Xi Rihong's lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word. Her pretty face flushed red instantly, and she swallowed her breath in the process.
