Konoha: Intentionally losing to Hinata at the start

This is rare.

However, Yu Ming didn't intend to have any in-depth conversation with Fu, so he smiled and said, "You do well on your exam, we're leaving."

With that, he left with Asma and the others.

As Fu watched Yu Ming disappear, she smiled and said, "Yu Ming is indeed a good person. He wasn't afraid at all even though he knew I was a Jinchūriki."

Gaara interrupted, "Nonsense, he can even suppress tailed beasts, why would he be afraid of a Jinchūriki like you?"

Actually, Fu and Gaara have a very good relationship. They are both Jinchūriki, and Gaara greatly admires Fu's optimistic and cheerful personality.

When Gaara had his tailed beast chakra extracted this time, it was Shukaku who sent a distress signal to the Seven-Tails, Shinobi.

Actually, the relationship between the tailed beasts is quite good.

Of course, apart from the One-Tailed Beast and the Nine-Tailed Beast, or rather, the Nine-Tailed Beast actually has a very bad relationship with the other eight tailed beasts.

The Nine-Tails is too strong, stronger than the other eight tailed beasts, and has the most chakra. This has led the Nine-Tails to look down on the other eight tailed beasts.

He considered these eight tailed beasts to be nothing more than scraps from his collection.

After leading Asuma and the other two out of the Devil's Desert, Yu Ming went to rest. What followed was a matter for Sunagakure to handle themselves.

When Yu Ming sensed that Gaara's tailed beast chakra had been stripped away, he genuinely thought that Akatsuki had broken in.

Who knows if it isn't?

For the rest of the time, Yu Ming was quite relaxed.

Aside from taking the students to the exams, he would either chat with Kai and the other two outside the exam hall or stay in his hotel room to meditate.

However, Yu Ming quite likes this kind of life.

However, the environment in Sunagakure is indeed not very good, and living here for too long would be quite uncomfortable.

Although the second exam was interrupted, Sunagakure still held a third exam.

This Chunin Exam absolutely cannot be stopped because of Fugi, otherwise, where will Sunagakure put its face?

They stayed in Sunagakure for over a month.

Yu Ming had been idle all along, but in the past month or so, since he had nothing to do, his relationship with Gaara and the other two had improved a lot.

Especially Temari, when she looks at Yu Ming, he no longer seems as terrifying as he used to be.

At least he could maintain his composure in front of Yu Ming.

It was mainly during this period of contact that Yu Ming's relationship with them grew much closer.

More than a month later, Yu Ming led the examinees back home.

He really didn't want to stay here any longer.

Actually, not everything in the Land of Wind is desert. Although 70% of its land is desert, 30% is not.

Most of the people in the Land of Wind live in that 30% of the area.

The Sand Village lives in the desert because of its use of Wind Release and sand.

He led his team back to Konoha.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Yu Ming, Asuma, Guy, and Kurenai, along with the nine Konoha 11 who were taking the exam, looked at Tsunade.

Looking at the list in her hand, Tsunade smiled and said, "I know about your performance in Sunagakure. Those whose names I announce can be promoted to Chunin."

Rock Lee and the others in the Hokage's room were filled with anticipation. This time, they had finally become Chunin and wouldn't be so far behind Yu Ming anymore.

Tsunade began by saying, "Rock Lee."

The first name is Xiao Li's name.

Xiao Li clenched his fist, very excited. If he weren't in the Hokage's room, he would have jumped up.

"day by day".

Tian Tian was very excited when she heard this.

Tsunade ignored Lee and Tenten's situation and continued reading aloud one by one.

It was eventually discovered that, of the nine people who participated in the Chunin Exams, all except Neji had been promoted to Chunin.

Lee asked with great confusion, "Lady Tsunade, what about Neji? He performed the best this time. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have passed the second exam at all."

Indeed, during the second exam, before the sandstorm, they encountered many problems. If it weren't for Neji, they might not have passed the exam. Moreover, it was Neji who led them in the final battle to save Gaara.

It's completely illogical that he didn't pass the Chunin level.

Hearing Lee's complaint of 0.7, Neji didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Didn't Shikamaru lose to Temari last time, but still become a Chunin?

Sasuke fought so well, yet he couldn't be promoted to Chunin.

Therefore, Neji felt that he might have performed poorly.

Neji still trusted Tsunade's judgment.

Tsunade looked at Neji, then at Yu Ming standing to the side, and said, "Neji, Yu Ming, you two come here."

Yu Ming and Neji were taken aback.

Yu Ming had no idea what Tsunade was planning; this matter shouldn't have anything to do with him.

Neji, on the other hand, felt that he might have done something wrong this time.

The two walked up to Tsunade, who looked at them very solemnly.

"Given your excellent performance in Sunagakure, protecting Gaara and maintaining relations between our two villages, I intend to promote Hyuga Neji and Hagoromo to Jonin."

Chapter 182

Kaito was completely stunned. "Upgrade Neji to Jonin?"

"Lady Tsunade, I understand that you promoted Yu Ming to Jonin, but isn't it a bit too early to promote Neji to Jonin as well?"

It wasn't that Guy looked down on Neji, but rather that he felt it was indeed too early for Neji to be promoted to Jonin.

Even Neji thought it was a bit outrageous. Although he had indeed done a lot this time, it shouldn't have been enough to be promoted to Jonin all of a sudden. Moreover, he had never completed an S-rank mission. If he was promoted to Jonin like this, the missions he would be carrying out in the future would be much more difficult.

However, Yu Ming, who was standing next to Neji, disagreed, explaining, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with promoting Neji to Jonin, because his abilities have already far surpassed those of Chunin. It's not just his strength, but also his leadership skills, which are the most important abilities for a Jonin."

"Teacher Kai, I think you must understand this very well."

Yu Ming had barely finished speaking when he directly called out Kai's name.

Kai paused for a moment, then thought about it. Indeed, in their team, the calmest and most intelligent was Neji. Moreover, not only in their team, but in other teams, besides Shikamaru, who else had leadership skills that surpassed Neji's?

Moreover, Neji, along with Lee and Tenten, saved Gaara this time, which is now a matter between the villages.

It plays a significant role in consolidating the alliance with Sunagakure.

Kai nodded and said, "Well, Yu Ming is right. Then I have no further questions."

Neji didn't blame Guy, because he knew very well that Guy was thinking of him. If he became a Jonin in the future, he would have to take on even more dangerous missions.

Although Guy didn't teach Neji the Eight Gates, it was mainly because he wasn't suited for it.

But in reality, no one was treated specially.

It's just that Lee is more suited to learning his physical skills, while Tenten and Neji each have their own strengths, which happen to be areas that Guy is not good at.

He couldn't teach even if he wanted to.

Lee looked at Neji and said with a smile, "Neji actually became a Jonin. It seems I need to work even harder."

At the same time, he thought to himself, "It seems I need to train the Eight Gates even harder, otherwise I really won't be able to keep up with Neji in the future."

"And then there's Yu Ming, he'll be my eternal rival, I must challenge him once I get the chance."

Xiao Li didn't keep challenging Yu Ming; he wanted to cultivate to a very high level before doing so.

Because Yu Ming is different from others, he is truly powerful and can even suppress tailed beasts. Without absolute certainty, Lee would never challenge Yu Ming.

The others, however, were more concerned about Yu Ming's promotion to Jonin.

Even Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi thought that Tsunade might have promoted Neji to Jonin just to promote Yumei to Jonin.

Everyone knows that Yu Ming is Tsunade's bodyguard, and given his strength, it's normal for him to be promoted to Jonin.

However, Yu Ming was indeed too young, and he was living in a peaceful era, which was completely different from the wartime era in which Kakashi lived.

Naturally, a reason needs to be found for upgrading, and this is a very good excuse.

As Sakura watched Yu Ming's retreating figure, standing in the corner, she felt that Yu Ming was getting further and further away.

The difference in strength between the two is enormous, perhaps even an insurmountable mountain.

Sakura has now become Tsunade's apprentice, and Tsunade has accepted her.

I didn't experience the joy of being a teacher with Yu Ming, but I did with Xiao Ying.

However, Sakura's talent is indeed quite good, otherwise Tsunade would not have taken her as a disciple so easily.

And it is precisely because they are both Tsunade's disciples that Sakura knows more about Yu Ming than others.

Although she has never fought Yu Ming, Tsunade always uses Yu Ming as her target when training Sakura.

Although Yu Ming wasn't at the training ground, Sakura could still hear his name there.

Sakura became even more depressed after learning that Yu Ming had learned all of Tsunade's medical ninjutsu and other ninjutsu, such as Yin Seal and Hundred Healings Technique, in just a few days.

It was despairing. Yu Ming's existence was like a mountain whose top could never be seen, but Tsunade hoped to climb this mountain and cross it.

That's asking the impossible.

Hinata looked at Yu Ming with a smile. She had been watching him from behind the whole time. If Yu Ming was happy, she was happy.

Ino clenched her fist, looking at Yu Ming, thinking to herself, "Yu Ming is really too strong, but the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. Even Sakura has started to work hard recently, so it seems I have to work hard too."

Even if Ino tries her best, she can only be a support staff member, as that's what her family originally did.

However, support personnel are not useless. On the contrary, in Konoha, support personnel are highly valued talents.

Continue like a medical ninja.

Because it is very useful, but there is too little of it.

On the contrary, combat personnel are easier to train.
