Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

The Chunin Exams were over, and the candidates returned to their daily lives.

Special training also continued as usual the next day.

Perhaps because of the achievements of Obito and others, many special training students have become extra hardworking.

There is nothing wrong with being a genius, because Konoha has always had geniuses.

But Obito and Might Guy are different. It's as if everyone had struggled together before. Obito and Might Guy were a little richer than them, but a year later, Might Guy and Obito suddenly became multi-millionaires.

Since they were advancing step by step beside them, they felt that even if they could not become as strong as Might Guy, they should not be like this.

People like Asuma, who have a good relationship with Obito, have even more fighting spirit because their feelings are more profound.

Mu Yue was very pleased about this, because this was exactly the purpose of his special adjustment for the holiday, to let these students see the strength of the best group of people of their age.

According to Mu Yue's observation, S-level rewards depend on the students' progress. The more students learn, the more rewards they will receive.

The rest depends on the skill level. For example, it is very difficult to increase the proficiency of perfect-level Fire Style, but it is very fast to increase the proficiency of skilled-level Thunder Style.

Due to the teaching ability demonstrated by Mu Yue, Genin like Nara Yui and others have been obediently receiving special training.

What surprised Nara Yanshui was that in addition to the five major attributes, Mu Yue's special Yin attribute was also very strong. Although he was unable to teach him the secret art of shadows, he could still help him solve some Yin escape problems.

Five days after the Chunin Exam, the list of those promoted to Chunin was determined.

At this time, the Kirigakure also left Konoha. After all, Konoha would not give Kirigakure its own forehead protectors, so the Kirigakure had to go back to promote their own ninjas.

Mu Yue guessed that there might be no strawberry ice cream in Kirigakure now, because before Kirigakure left Konoha, he saw Mei Terumi frantically purchasing strawberry ice cream.

I even generously gave him three strawberry ice creams as a return gift.

"You treated me to two servings before, and I, Mei Terumi, would like to repay you by treating you to three servings!" Mei Terumi said with a proud look on her face.

Originally, she didn't have much money, but because she was leaving, Master Yuan gave them some money to buy Konoha specialties, so they could buy some souvenirs and local specialties from the Land of Fire.

So Mei Terumi used all the money to buy ice cream. She thought it was very good. It was indeed something that was not available in Kirigakure, and it was also delicious.

Mei Terumi was very satisfied with this trip to Konoha. She had delicious strawberry ice cream and was appreciated by the Master. Apart from being eliminated in the quarterfinals, she had no regrets.

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation." Mu Yue smiled faintly, accepted it and left.

Although he is not particularly interested in such sweets, he can give them to the students.

Mei Terumi looked at Mu Yue's back with a thoughtful expression.

She always thought Mu Yue was strange, not the silly kind of strangeness that Obito had, but the one that gave her a weird feeling.

Just now, Mei Terumi finally understood what that strange feeling was, because when Mu Yue was with her, he didn't treat her as an outsider or a foreigner.

Because of the Kirigakure forehead protector, even a silly guy like Obito could be felt by Mei Terumi to have a distinct sense of distance from him.

Mu Yue couldn't say she was close to him, but when Terumi Mei communicated with him, she felt like she was talking to a stranger from her own village.

If Mei Terumi hadn't stayed in Konoha for a while, she would hardly have noticed the difference.

"What a weird guy..." Mei Terumi muttered to herself, and then stopped thinking about it. Maybe she was thinking too much.

……

"Go to the Hokage's office? Is there some difficult task that needs to be assigned to us to complete?" Obito asked excitedly after hearing Minato's words.

"Should we rescue the kidnapped princess or repel the invading enemy forces?"

Minato smiled and shook his head and said, "This kind of mission is not something you can accept. Besides, Kakashi hasn't recovered yet, how could he assign a mission to you?"

Although Kakashi and Might Guy were discharged from the hospital on the fourth day thanks to Tsunade's treatment, their bodies have not fully recovered and they still need to rest for a while.

Kakashi looked at Obito speechlessly, thinking that ninja novels were very harmful. How could so many princesses be kidnapped?

"What is that?" Obito was a little disappointed. He thought that his good performance in the Chunin Exam had impressed Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You'll know when you get there." Minato didn't tell Obito and the others directly, but smiled mysteriously.

Kakashi looked at Minato's expression and basically guessed what he was going to do. He was probably going to be promoted to Chunin.

Thinking of this, Kakashi's expression became a little subtle. He was wondering if he would accept another Chunin vest if the village gave him one.

Kakashi thought that if it was really given to him, he should take it. After all, he had already won the first place, and the vest was a consumable item.

On the way to the Hokage Building, Obito and his companions met several acquaintances from the Chunin Exam.

"Hey, Kakashi, how's your recovery going?" Might Guy smiled, his two rows of white teeth shining especially brightly in the sunlight.

"We've only been out of the hospital for one day, how can we expect to recover?" Kakashi replied speechlessly.

"Hahaha!" Might Guy didn't feel embarrassed and laughed out loud.

"That's of course because I'm looking forward to the next battle with you, my best friend!" Might Guy said to Kakashi with a sharp look in his eyes.

Failure is not scary for Might Guy. After all, he has lost most of his life so far, and won only a few of them.

What he seeks is not an undefeated record, but to learn from failure and then forge future victories, so as to become the strongest.

Since Kakashi has become the leader from a pursuer, he naturally has to surpass Kakashi as soon as possible.

"Let's talk about it after you recover." Kakashi shook his head.

In other words, his body has not recovered yet, otherwise Kakashi would have challenged Shisui to avenge his previous defeat.

When Kakashi defeated Might Guy, Obito, and Shisui in a row, he thought that he must defeat them all after he became stronger. Now that he has finally caught up in strength, Kakashi will not miss such a good opportunity.

After all, Mu Yue’s disciples are too competitive, and Kakashi doesn’t think he can always stay ahead.

If Might Guy could stabilize the Four Gates and the Konoha Dragon God could improve further, he might not be able to win in this transparent world that he has not yet fully mastered.

Kakashi planned to first make the transparent world able to be turned on and off freely. Anyway, he couldn't do any strenuous exercise recently, so he could use all his time to study the transparent world.

"Hey, you guys are here too." Asuma spotted Kakashi and the others and greeted them.

"Akagi, Asuma, have you also been notified to go to the Hokage's office?" Obito asked after responding.

Might Guy and Asuma both nodded.

Seeing this, Obito immediately started thinking and guessing the reason.

"Could it be that our performance is so good that the Third Hokage wants to let us enter some secret department?" Obito said as if he suddenly understood.

Kakashi's mouth twitched, and he had to admit that Obito's thinking was different from that of ordinary people.

If it was just Obito, him, and Might Guy, then it would be possible, but with Nohara Rin and Asuma also among them, that makes it impossible.

"It's probably about the promotion to Chunin." In order to prevent Obito from continuing to imagine strange things, Kakashi directly gave his reliable answer.

"That should be the case, otherwise there would be no need to call me to the Hokage Building." Asuma nodded and said.

"But Kakashi, aren't you already a Chunin?" Obito looked at Kakashi with a puzzled look.

"I also took the Chunin Exam. When we get to the Hokage Building, you will naturally know whose guess is right." Kakashi didn't want to argue too much with Obito on this issue. After all, it was not a good idea for a Chunin to take the Chunin Exam.

When Kakashi arrived at the Hokage Building, he became more certain of his guess because he also saw Nara Yui and Yamashiro Aoba, two other candidates who also took the Chunin Exam.

Everyone entered the Hokage's office together. It was Obito's first time in the Hokage's office, so he looked around curiously, only to find that the Hokage's office was completely different from what he had imagined.

Obito thought that the Hokage's office was filled with scrolls that looked extremely dangerous and contained secrets, and powerful ninja tools were hung on the walls.

The real Hokage's office has a big desk and many windows, and nothing else, not even any extra chairs.

"You all performed very well in the Chunin Exams. Not only the ninjas who scored, but even the officials and clients who came to watch the competition recognized your performance, so I decided to promote all of you to Chunin!" Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say too much nonsense and explained the matter directly.

Nara Yuito, Yamashiro Aoba and Asuma were all eliminated in the first round, but they all played to their level and were included in the promotion list based on their overall performance.

Not to mention Kakashi and the others, they can be said to have embodied the momentum of Konoha, and the strength they displayed is no longer comparable to that of ordinary Chunin.

Kakashi was extremely calm. He automatically ignored Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and just thought of himself as accompanying Obito and the others. He was already a Chunin, so what was the point of promotion?

Asuma's expression was one of relief. It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that Obito, Kakashi and the others were too outrageous.

Nara Yui smiled, thinking that his hard work was worth it. Although he was slightly inferior to Nohara Lin, he finally completed the promotion.

A smile also appeared on Yamashiro Aoba's face. He was originally confident in his own strength, but unfortunately he met Kisame in the first round. He has been worried about the promotion issue these days.

"I'm on the same level as my father now. I'll strive to be promoted to Jonin together with my father as soon as possible!" Might Guy was a little excited.

Since his father was previously ridiculed as a ten-thousand-year-old Genin, Might Guy is a little concerned about the ninja level.

"We passed it together." Nohara Lin thought to herself with a gentle smile on her face.

Before the exam, she was worried that she would fall behind, but after the exam, Nohara Lin no longer felt any pressure, because she had fought with all her strength in the third game, and she could accept any result.

"He really was promoted to Chunin." Obito felt that Kakashi was lucky today, and this was what he guessed right.

"What? Are you not satisfied with being promoted to Chunin? You still have a long way to go if you want to be promoted to Jonin. Keep working hard like Mu Yue and Minato." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

"Hehe, not really, but all members of our team are Chunin now, so can we take on high-level missions?" Obito replied with a smile.

Obito was naturally very happy to be promoted to Chunin. After all, Kakashi had always used his Chunin status to suppress him before. Now that everyone was a Chunin, Kakashi no longer had to use his status to suppress him.

"Theoretically, there should be no problem if it's below level A, but for level A, it depends on Minato's arrangement." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, stroking his beard.

Now Obito and the others can take on missions on their own without Minato, because they are already three Chunins and have no problem taking on B-level missions on their own.

But that won't work for A-level. A-level must have at least one special jonin, and S-level must be led by an experienced formal jonin.

"A-level is not bad." Obito smiled excitedly and chose to ignore the last few words of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Although Obito has A-level and S-level missions in his mission history, these were changed later. Obito has not yet officially accepted an A-level mission.

"These are your promotion forms and Chunin vests. From now on, you are Chunin of Konoha. You need to take on more responsibilities and will receive more dangerous missions!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said seriously, then stood up and distributed the corresponding promotion forms to several people. As for the vests, they were all the same, so they took them themselves.

Becoming a Chunin not only brings more rights, but also requires taking on more responsibilities.

Except for extremely important missions, generally not all Jonins are dispatched, and the main force is Chunin.

"As long as we can protect Konoha, no matter how dangerous the mission is, it doesn't matter." Obito said that he is not afraid of danger.

Seeing Obito's words that reflected the will of fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, thinking that Obito might become the next Uchiha Kagami.

Sarutobi Hiruzen really had nothing to ask them, so everyone except Asuma quickly left the Hokage's office.

"Xiao Lin, I told you that we are all fine." Obito said to Nohara Lin while turning the Chunin vest left and right.

"Yeah, you're right, Obito." Nohara Rin responded with a soft smile.

As the voices of his companions faded away, Asuma asked Sarutobi Hiruzen directly, "Anything else? It's fine, I need to go train."

He was about to leave when he was stopped by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The aura of your Vacuum Jade is too scattered, otherwise it would be able to penetrate the Phoenix Fire. There is also a problem with your practice of the Great Flame Technique. The flame temperature is too low." Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and talked about Asuma's problems with the Chunin Exam.

"Tsk, you know so much." Asuma turned and left with a dark face.

Just as Asuma opened the door to the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke again.

"But the last combined ninjutsu was alright, so the overall performance was acceptable."

I wanted to write more, but I have a slight fever today. It's not serious, but it makes it hard to write because my brain is hot. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow.

Chapter 333: Disciples Explode Gold Coins

Asuma paused, wondering for a moment if he had heard it wrong.

Although it's not a compliment like "I'm proud of you" or "I'm awesome", this is a comment Asuma has never received before.

When he first achieved first place in actual combat in the Ninja School, he returned home excitedly and told Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't react much, he just hummed calmly, as if something insignificant had happened.

At first, he hoped to hear Sarutobi Hiruzen say "I am proud of you". At that time, Asuma still admired his father, the Hokage, very much. This was the Hokage, the Hokage that everyone admired and respected.

No matter what achievements Asuma made in the Ninja School, he could not get the recognition of Sarutobi Hiruzen. His expectations gradually decreased. He initially hoped to get Sarutobi Hiruzen's praise, but later Asuma would be satisfied even if Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to him.

But no, Sarutobi Hiruzen never nodded in appreciation of his achievements. In Asuma's memory, Sarutobi Hiruzen only preached to him, asking him to learn from his calm elder brother and to be like Orochimaru during his time at the ninja school.

"Do you need to tell me this? This was taught by Teacher Mu Yue." Asuma said with a pout.

Although Asuma still did not have a good expression towards Sarutobi Hiruzen, it could be seen that the atmosphere had eased a lot.
