Chunin Ninja Exams
The incident at the village entrance seemed like a minor episode, causing no ripples whatsoever. Everyone's attention was focused on the Chunin Ninja Exams that were to be held the next day.
Early the next morning, the usually deserted streets were filled with ninjas from various ninja villages heading to the Ninja Academy. Because of the Chunin Ninja Exams, the Ninja Academy was on holiday for the entire week, and this place would be the venue for the first round of the Chunin Ninja Exams.
The gate of the Ninja Academy still had a long red banner that read "Chunin Ninja Exams Grounds" pasted on it, and many kids who were about to graduate from the Ninja Academy were gathered on both sides.
They stood in twos and threes on the trees and walls, all wanting to see the talented Genin from various ninja villages. More than ten ninja villages were sending their talented Genin to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams at the same time, which was unprecedented.
Seeing the teams of Genin entering the school to take the exams, the Genin around them who were about to graduate were particularly excited. They also wanted to one day become Genin could participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, the geniuses in people's eyes.
Suddenly, the eyes of the kids who were about to graduate from the Ninja Academy lit up, their gazes filled with excitement and anticipation as they watched the approaching group of people.
"They're here! They're here! That's our Konoha team participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams!" A kid clenched his fist, his voice filled with excitement.
At the end of the road, under pairs of excited gazes, a group of a dozen or so young Genin wearing Konoha Forehead Protector strolled towards them.
The youngest member was Yemo. Perhaps due to his Sage Body, Yemo developed much faster than ordinary people. Although he was the youngest, his height was about the same as Hizashi and Hiashi, so he didn't look awkward.
Following Yemo were Hizashi Hyuga, Hyuga Hiashi, Shikaku Nara, Yamanaka Inoichi, Inoichi Yamanaka and Aburame Torune from the Akimichi Chōza Aburame Clan, Shibi Aburame, the genius of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Clan, Sarutobi Nichien Jacques, and some ninjas whose names Yemo didn't know, such as those from Inuzuka Gaku Uchiha Clan. But all of them were geniuses from their respective clans, making a total of five teams, fifteen people.
Of the fifteen, only Yemo did not belong to any of Konoha's major clans. Over 90% of Konoha's strong individuals belong to these clans, and a strong person who rises from humble beginnings is a legend in Konoha.
A group of fifteen people walked slowly from the end of the street. They didn't put on any pretentious poses; they walked as usual.
It wasn't just the Konoha Ninja looking at them; there were also ninjas from other villages who hadn't made it into the academy. Konoha was the number one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, and no one wanted to miss seeing what kind of geniuses from Konoha, who possessed the strongest ninja power, would be like.
"Is this the team participating in this Chunin Ninja Exams?"
"These people seem to be the best of the best from various prominent families."
"Of course, my brother has Genin for two years, but he's still not qualified to participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams."
"I wish one day I could represent Konoha in the Chunin Ninja Exams like that."
Konoha promotes at least a hundred Chunin every year, so it's impossible that it's just Yemo and his group of fifteen. Yemo and his group were just the fifteen most outstanding participants in this Chunin Ninja Exams.
The other Genin are not qualified to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams jointly held by the five ninja villages; they can only participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams held separately by Future Village.
Although this Chunin Ninja Exams is called the Chunin Ninja Exams, everyone knows that it is actually just a secret competition between the major ninja villages to determine who is stronger.
Yemo Shuang clasped his hands behind his head, looking completely relaxed, showing none of the urgency the other ninjas felt about participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams.
The others also looked relaxed, but their confidence was the best indicator of their composure. They didn't need to be nervous or worried; they were geniuses of Konoha. Among the hundreds of ninjas, only the Five Great Shinobi Villages could rival them; the other villages were insignificant.
Being carefree doesn't mean being indifferent; rather, it's a sign of confidence. Being carefree is a manifestation of confidence.
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Yemo and his group entered the Ninja Academy. They weren't the last group, but they were close to it.
Yemo, upon entering the school, failed to notice Killer B's fierce gaze in the crowd. He had suffered a great humiliation the previous night, being captured by the Konoha Military Police Force as Kumogakure, and it was only through his older brother A's personal intervention that Killer B was brought out.
However, that very night, a furious A gave Killer B a severe beating. It was one thing for him to be unruly, but this time he had brought shame upon Konoha and completely disgraced Kumogakure. Thinking of this, A was filled with uncontrollable rage and beat Killer B a full three hours before his anger subsided.
Yemo was unaware of these things; if he had, he would have laughed out loud in Killer B.
Two more teams of ninjas arrived, and all the ninjas participating in the Chunin Ninja Exams finally entered. The gates of the Ninja Academy slowly closed. As for the Jonin their teams, the Konoha Ninja arranged for them to go to a special venue, where they would watch the entire Chunin Ninja Exams.
This is not only to show the Jonin of these other ninja villages, but also to ensure that Konoha maintains absolute fairness in this Chunin Ninja Exams and will not favor any village. This will also shut them up and prevent rumors from spreading that Konoha is favoring its own village's ninjas.
The camera pans to the other side!
Yemo and his group entered the school and easily found their way to the Ninja Academy auditorium, which had now been converted into a temporary gathering point for the participating ninjas. Inside were Genin who had come to take the Chunin Ninja Exams. These one or two hundred ninjas were gathered in groups from their respective villages, talking to each other, but their eyes would occasionally sweep over the ninjas from other villages. Apart from their own village, the rest were all enemies.
As soon as Yemo and his group entered, they attracted the attention of most of the ninjas in the hall. Konoha was considered the number one ninja village by people today. After all, in the two Shinobi World War, all four major ninja villages were defeated by Konoha. Konoha won the two Shinobi World War. Of course, these were titles given by some small villages. The other four major ninja villages would not acknowledge Konoha as the number one ninja village.
Who wouldn't want to see what kind of team the renowned Konoha would send, and how many geniuses would participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams?
Suddenly, the hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yemo his group, memorizing their faces. These people would be their greatest enemies.
Yemo and his group seemed to ignore the gazes of the others, and walked to a secluded corner. The silence in the air lasted for a few seconds before the hall became noisy again.
However, many people kept glancing towards Konoha, especially at Yemo.
"Hey, did you guys know? I heard Konoha has produced a terrifying genius this time!"
Who is it?
"It's that red-haired guy, I think his name is Yemo Uzumaki."
"Really? I don't think it's true."
"Why would I lie to you? The captain told me yesterday that this Yemo Uzumaki Kumogakure killed a Special Jōnin from Kumogakure six months ago."
"You're kidding, this guy can't be that strong!"
Upon hearing what this guy said, the entire group was incredibly surprised, their incredulous gazes fixed on Yemo in the corner.
You should know that they are already considered geniuses in the village for being able to deal with Chunin, let alone Jonin. The difference between Jonin and Chunin is not small.
This guy named Yemo Uzumaki is not only much younger than them, but he's also able to kill Jonin. He's a monster!
