Chunin Ninja Exams
Yemo, but some people had trouble falling asleep all night, including Kushina, the Third Hokage, Danzo, and a series of other Konoha High Command who had heard the report.
However, the next day, the sun rose from the Yamanaka, and golden sunlight shone everywhere, reviving all things that had been dormant, and everything was full of vitality.
The entire Konoha was busy with another major event, with everyone from Konoha's leadership to ordinary ninjas taking action.
"Ah... phew..."
With a yawn, Yemo slowly sat up in bed and couldn't help but stretch. This was the most comfortable night's sleep he had had in over a week.
No need to worry about enemy attacks, no need to stay vigilant, all worries are cast aside, and one can fall into a deep sleep. For a ninja, this is already a very happy thing. Since becoming a ninja, Yemo has changed his habit of staying in bed.
The sun shines brightly outside the window, and all kinds of roses are blooming in the courtyard, with different colors and shapes. Playful vines climb up the wall, and small milky white flowers bloom on the wall. Roses may not be a famous flower, but they are a very suitable flower to be planted in an ordinary courtyard. My older sister has planted quite a lot of them, and the southwest corner of the courtyard is full of roses.
Opening the window, a gentle breeze carrying the freshest morning air rushed in. Yemo took a deep breath; the air seemed to carry a hint of rose fragrance, refreshing and delightful. It was truly a beautiful morning.
Taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, the lingering sleepiness from waking up vanished instantly. Yemo went down to the living room on the first floor and found that his older sister had already left. There was a prepared breakfast and a note on the table.
Yemo picked up the note and read, "My older sister went out on a mission. Breakfast is on the table, don't waste it. Stay home and behave yourself."
Upon seeing what was written above, Yemo smiled slightly. It seemed that his older sister had figured things out last night, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted the mission today. Of course, it was also possible that she accepted the mission just to distract herself, but overall, his older sister wasn't dwelling on the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan that much.
After finishing his breakfast, Yemo watched TV in the morning, but it was so boring that by noon, he really didn't want to stay at home. He got dressed and went to Uncle Yemo's shop and ordered a big bowl of pork rib and char siu ramen.
When Yemo arrived, it was almost two o'clock, past lunchtime. He was the only customer in Ichiraku Ramen Shop, and he chatted with Uncle Yemo for a while.
Later, I wanted to go out and play with Ayame, but it seemed there was something going on at the Ninja Academy, and every student had to go to school that day.
Out of boredom, Yemo could only wander around the streets. Unfortunately, a grown man like him doesn't enjoy shopping like the girls do. After a while, Yemo found it even more boring and decided it would be better to go home and watch TV.
"Hi, Yemo!"
While walking aimlessly down the street, Yemo suddenly heard someone calling his name. Turning around, he saw Obito Uchiha waving at him with a big smile, accompanied by Rin, Yemo smiled gently at him.
Although Rin wasn't particularly beautiful, her warm smile, which always made people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze, was something that other girls didn't possess. No wonder Obito loved her for a lifetime, even going so far as to declare, "If this world doesn't have you, then I will create a world with you." Both of them were carrying large piles of things.
Yemo walked over, grinning, and said, "So that's why Obito sounded so excited; it turns out Rin was with him."
What did you say?
Upon hearing Yemo's words, Obito blushed instantly. He glanced shyly at Rin, noticing that Rin's expression hadn't changed. A hint of disappointment appeared deep in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
Seeing Obito's shy expression, Yemo put away his teasing intentions and pointed to the things the two were carrying, asking, "Why are you carrying all this stuff?"
Lin explained, "These are all things we need to prepare for the exam. The Ninja Academy will be holding exams in the next few days, and the teachers have assigned us the task of setting up the exam room."
"Exams?" Yemo was taken aback, then thought for a moment and said, "But it doesn't seem to be graduation time from the Ninja Academy yet."
Rin shook her head and said, "It's not the graduation exam, but the annual Chunin Ninja Exams. We need to start preparing for the Chunin Ninja Exams in the next few days."
Upon hearing about the Chunin Ninja Exams, Yemo's eyes lit up. He was very interested in the Chunin Ninja Exams. He was able to become Genin thanks to the Third's personal approval, just like Kakashi, who became Genin directly without having to graduate from the Ninja Academy.
However, that was all before the second half of the year. Now his strength has improved rapidly, and dealing with ordinary Jonin is no problem. Although he really wants to become Jonin must be Chunin, have extensive mission experience, be recommended by Jonin, and pass the Third's personal examination to become Jonin.
So, becoming Jonin Chunin is out of the question for him; it's impossible without extensive mission experience. But he can settle for Chunin instead, since he has the strength and experience to do so.
His strength goes without saying; he was able to kill Jonin before, and with the most powerful Sage Body, killing Jonin will be even easier for Yemo.
As for mission experience, needless to say, Yemo has completed two missions so far. Although there were only two, one was an A-level mission and the other was an S-level mission. These two missions are enough.
"Obito, is it possible to register for the Chunin Ninja Exams now?" Yemo asked hurriedly.
When Chunin saw that Yemo wanted to sign up for the Chunin Exams, Obito was very surprised, and even Rin was quite surprised, "Yemo, you want to participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams?"
Yemo didn't hide anything and nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes, I do have that idea."
Obito thought Yemo was arrogant. He had only become Genin half a year ago. Although he was a genius, since the founding of Konoha, no one had ever become Genin and Chunin in half a year. Of course, this was because Obito did not know Yemo's strength. If he did know, he certainly would not think this way.
So Obito gently advised, "Yemo, I think you shouldn't go. The Chunin Ninja Exams aren't graduation exams; they're very dangerous."
Nodding, Rin chimed in, "Obito's words are wrong, Yemo. I think you should wait until next year's Chunin Ninja Exams. The Chunin Ninja Exams are extremely dangerous; I've heard that ninjas die during Chunin Ninja Exams every year."
Yemo was well aware of their good intentions, but becoming Chunin Ninja Exams was a certainty for him. Of course, Yemo couldn't say that he was strong enough to kill Jonin, so he smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I've fought Kakashi before, and my strength is enough to deal with ordinary Chunin. As for mission experience, I just completed a mission a few days ago, so that should be enough."
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen you these past few days. Turns out you were on a mission." Obito looked for Yemo a few days ago, but no one was home. Kushina had also been on a mission during that time.
Lin blinked her big, watery eyes and asked curiously, "Kakashi wasn't around the other day either, so you two didn't go on a mission together?" Yemo replied, "We did go on a mission together, along with Minato-sensei."
Upon hearing Rin mention Kakashi, Obito's ears immediately perked up. Kakashi was not only his rival in love but also his lifelong adversary, and Obito was extremely concerned about any news about Kakashi.
"Yemo, what level of mission are you going to carry out?!" Obito suddenly shouted excitedly.
He, Kakashi, and Rinno are in a team, and Minato-sensei is their instructor. Logically, if Minato takes Kakashi on a mission, he should definitely take them along. But the fact that he took Yemo along means that this is definitely not an ordinary mission. It must have been directly assigned by higher-ups, who then organized the team. This is probably A-Rank Mission.
Seeing Obito's excited expression, Yemo had already guessed what was going on. After thinking for a moment, he honestly replied, "We're on an S-Rank Mission!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Obito was stunned. Rin covered her mouth with both hands and gasped. S-Rank Mission? That's the highest level mission. Only Jonin can take on this mission. Every S-Rank Mission is a life-or-death crisis. Ordinary Jonin rarely complete one in several years. Only Elite Jonin have a high chance of taking on this level of mission.
Obito guessed it was A-Rank Mission, but he was clearly wrong. It was an S-Rank Mission A-Rank Mission. And with both Yemo and Kakashi returning safely, the mission was undoubtedly a success.
Obito clenched his fists instinctively. A few days ago, he had completed B-Rank Mission solo. He thought he could close the gap with Kakashi, but the difference between them had widened even further. Kakashi had already completed S-Rank Mission. Obito his fists tighter and tighter until his knuckles turned white from the force.
Obito's actions did not escape Yemo's eyes. Originally, Yemo did not want to tell him or lie to him, saying it was an A-Rank Mission, for fear of hurting Obito. But after thinking about it, Yemo decided not to do so. Obito would eventually find out the truth, and that would cause a rift in their friendship.
Furthermore, Yemo believed that Obito was not someone who would easily lose confidence, and Kakashi's progress would only motivate Obito to work harder to catch up with or even surpass Kakashi.
