Chapter 69: The Zhongnin Exam
June 23, Konoha 60.
In the Konoha Conference Hall, Sarutobi sat on the rostrum, and the Konoha ninjas who came to assemble stood below.
Ape Fei Ri said loudly: "Now, please ask the person in charge of guiding the new ninja to stand up." ”
Asma Sarutobi, Sunset Red, and Kakashi Hachiki stepped forward and stood in front of the Hokage.
Ape Fei Ri asked: "You all know, the middle ninja exam is about to start, is there a suitable candidate among the newcomers you are in charge?" The basic requirement is to complete at least eight tasks, and the rest depends on your recommendation. ”
Teacher Iruka stood in the crowd, a little worried in his heart, generally speaking, the qualification for Shinobi to participate in the middle ninja exam is to complete sixteen tasks, and now that each class has only graduated for 2 months, it will definitely not reach this number of tasks, so the standard has been lowered.
Generally speaking, ninjas who have just graduated will not be allowed to take the middle ninja exam, and they must be instructed to train the upper ninja for a year.
This year, unlike previous years, Konoha Village has been thriving with the help of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce's comprehensive revitalization plan, and the village is changing with each passing day, and the streetscape in the village has a bit of an international metropolis at first glance.
Sarutobi wants to take this opportunity to show the heritage and strength of Konoha by holding the middle ninja exam, if the lower ninjas of Konoha Village get good results in the middle ninja exam, and at the same time can boost the spirit of the Konoha people, carry out a love village education, increase cohesion, promote economic development, and the real world powers compete to hold the Olympics is a nature.
Iruka can understand Hokage-sama's thoughts, today's economic revitalization of Konoha is a good thing, but it has also attracted the covetousness of small neighboring countries, plus the problem of smuggling has not been solved, border frictions are becoming more and more frequent, if you don't declare your strength, I'm afraid that you will be looked down upon by neighboring countries, and even slaughtered as a fat sheep.
However, the children's strength is far from enough, and rashly participating in the middle ninja exam, which is in danger of casualties, will harm them.
Kakashi was the first to speak, "I recommend Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno from the seventh class to take the shinobi exam in the name of Kakashi. ”
Sunset Red said: "I recommend Hinata Hinata of the eighth class, Inuzuka Ya, and Oil Girl Shino ......"
Sarufei Asma said: "I recommend the three of Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akido Dingji from the tenth class. ”
Iruka-sensei couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "Hokage-sama, please allow me to say a word!" ”
With Sarutobi's permission, Iruka said excitedly, "Although they are all talented, it's too early to let them take the shinobi exam now......"
Kakashi sighed and stepped forward to interrupt, "Iruka, what do you think is the right thing to achieve?" ”
Iruka hurriedly said, "At least sixteen tasks must be completed, which is also the standard of the middle ninja exam in previous years!" ”
"Do you know how many tasks the seventh class has completed?" Kakashi asked calmly with a wink of dead fish eyes.
Iruka thought for a moment and said, "Since you recommended them, it should have completed eight tasks, meeting the standard that Hokage-sama said. ”
"Iruka-sensei, you've been busy teaching at the ninja school, and you may not know much about the events that have happened in the village in the past two months." Kakashi smiled proudly and said, "As of last week, Class 7 has completed a total of four thousand two hundred and thirty-seven tasks. ”
"Nani! What did you say? ”
"Since its formation, the seventh squad has completed a total of 4,237 tasks."
"It's only been less than two months, how is this possible!"
Iruka couldn't believe his ears, he had completed more than 4,000 tasks in two months, an average of seventy a day, several times more than any other shinobi had completed in a year, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"My subordinates are so good, I'm also very nerve-wracking!"
Kakashi scratched his head and said, "Maybe only a shinobi like you, Iruka-sensei, who is dedicated to school and spends all his energy on teaching, doesn't know it, it's not a secret that this matter is not a secret, the hot girls who have been frequently haunted in the village recently are actually Naruto's shadow clones." ”
"Speaking of the number of tasks completed...... Ape Fei Asma interjected, "Our class has also met the standard of completing sixteen tasks, and all sixteen tasks are C-level tasks. ”
"Sixteen C-Class Missions!" Iruka was taken aback again.
The sixteen C-level tasks completed by the tenth class were sixteen fierce beast crusades, all of which were shot by Nara Shikamaru alone, while Yamanaka Ino and Akido Dingji were holding Shikamaru's thighs and smoothly mixed points.
Shikamaru was forced by Maitero-sensei to take the Shinobi exam, and he was too lazy to do the troublesome D-class mission, and when he checked the mission briefing, he felt that it was easiest to crusade against the beast.
The task of crusading against the beast is usually marked with the beast's nest or haunt location, as long as you get there, Shikamaru will complete the task with a punch and kick.
According to last year's standards, sixteen tasks needed to be completed to take the middle ninja exam, so Nara Shikamaru took Yamanaka Ino and Akido Dingji for a week to complete the number of tasks, and the rest of the time spent at home every day, avoiding cultivation on the grounds that they needed to do tasks to obtain the qualification for the middle ninja exam.
"Our class has also completed sixteen tasks." Sunset Red said, the second half of the sentence was a little quiet: "Although they are all D-class missions......"
Sunset Red is a little embarrassed, in such a comparison, only her class has the worst grades, although it has also reached the standard of sixteen tasks, but all of them are D-level tasks, or some very unskilled D-level tasks, and the average task commission is not more than one thousand taels.
Shinobi in the Sunset Red class, Hinata Hinata, Shino Oilgirl, and Inuzuka are all good at tracking, and it is relatively easy to complete D-class tasks.
This time, Iruka was speechless, and she stepped back in a sneering voice, "I underestimated the students, and their growth was beyond my expectations."
Sarutobi couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction, and took a big puff of his pipe, among the ninja school graduates of this year, there are quite a few who have shown their edge, and the strength of the three children in the last class is gradually noticed by everyone.
Today's new generation of Konoha can be described as full of talents, they are the inheritors of the will of Konoha Fire, and this time the middle ninja exam is the stage for them to shine.
"The qualifications of the other shinobi to take the exam are indisputable, but whether Naruto Uzumaki can take the exam is still debatable......"
Sarutobi suddenly said something that surprised everyone present: "I think it's better for him not to take the exam!" ”
