Chapter 120 The Secret Ninja
After Santoku announced the promoted team, the eliminated team left----
A total of 15 teams passed, but the number of people was only 24. Most of the teams were damaged, such as Uchiha Fugaku, Shikaku Nara--these teams with high hopes, although they passed the assessment, they were all reduced to bare captains.
Akaseki scanned around and found that 12 of the 24 people were Konoha Ninja-continuing to maintain the previous ratio, which was exactly half!
The chief examiner, Hatake Sakumo, came out and announced, "The 24 of you are the Genin who finally passed the pre-examination and entered the final examination--among Genin, you are all outstanding, but to become Chunin, you still need one last test!"
These words----
Can't believe it!
If it weren't for the alliance with Chunin Ninja Exams, there would definitely be someone who could be promoted to Chunin, or even have the strength to surpass the average Chunin!
But the ninja world is like this, full of repressive education.
Next, the examiner Hatake began to announce the content of the final exam.
In this regard, the twenty-four people who passed have nothing to be nervous about. All previous Chunin Ninja Examss, the final test is a test of direct combat effectiveness, and it can basically be determined to be "1vs1". What needs to be announced now is just the issue of the competition system.
"The final examination will be on August 1st. Not only the shadows of the three hidden villages, but also dignitaries and wealthy businessmen from all over the world will come to watch. At that time, twelve people will be selected from among you. After passing the final examination, Chunin will be awarded the seat." Hatake continued.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard that the final audition was on August 1st, but later it was said that Tsuchikage and Mizukage would also come, so it was not surprising.
And the "quota" mentioned later made everyone feel relieved.
In previous Chunin Ninja Exams competitions, there is often no limit to the number of places available, so there is always a limit to the number of places available.
Now, 12 of the 24 people can be promoted. Considering the special nature of "United Chunin Ninja Exams", this promotion rate is already relatively high.
"The ratio is so high? Is it just a one-on-one challenge?" Inuzuka Tsume said, licking his sharp nails.
"No, it will be divided into four arenas, with four people as champions. Everyone else has a chance to challenge. Each champion can be challenged an unlimited number of times. The winner of the challenge will continue to be the champion in the arena until everyone completes the challenge----
"The four champions who remain in the ring will be promoted to Chunin unconditionally. In addition, eight people will be selected from the others and will also be qualified as Chunin." Hatake Sakumo announced this weird rule.
"Choose eight people? How?" Kitsuchi asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, three adults, Hokage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage, will personally select the two best performers in each arena besides the ring master." Hatake Sakumo smiled slightly.
Sure enough, I heard that the three actors were the judges themselves, so no one doubted the fairness.
If you question this again, I'm afraid it won't be a greeting from the security team----
"Those four champions----"
What everyone is most concerned about is indeed this.
"Of course they are the captains of the top four teams, that is, Karatachi Yagura of Kirigakure, Genin, and Kitsuchi of Iwagakure Genin, and our Konoha's----Uchiha Fugaku, and Akashi Uchiha." Hatake Sakumo announced.
Apparently, I specifically asked the captain to hand over the scroll before, just for this reason.
Poof Shikaku laughed directly, and at the same time elbowed Akaseki and said, "Hey, come on, Akaseki is the champion."
Ranwu also looked at Akaseki strangely----
"Hahaha, of course!" Akaseki said angrily.
Shikaku, Ranwu, Minato, Shinnosuke, etc.:----
Good guy, this guy seems to have not discovered that the challenger is actually disadvantageous?
Bang bang bang bang. At this moment, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
At first, everyone was wondering, what is there to applaud?
And apart from Genin who passed the pre-test, there are people here who are not just maintaining order - oh, it's just people from Konoha Military Police Force who are applauding!
"Sure enough, Konoha wants to see our Uchiha Clan!"
"Hahaha, of course. Without us Uchiha Clan, how can we still be called Konoha?"
"Come on! Fugaku, Akaseki, set an example for other Konoha and Genin!"
"We can't hide our weakness in third or fourth place this time!"
Everyone:----
Sure enough, the Uchiha Clan group of people did not feel that the position of "Challenger" was actually a tactical disadvantage, but were very proud of it!
There are four champions, two of them are Konoha, and the champion of Konoha is our Uchiha Clan!
What does this mean?
This shows that you still have to practice and learn!
Only Fugaku's face turned serious, but when he saw Akaseki and other clan members, they all had the same reaction, and he forced a smile.
Genin from other villages at the scene were all looking at these Gunbai people inexplicably. As for Konoha's Genin---- they were already used to it and just avoided looking at them.
There was only one young woman Konoha Genin wearing round glasses, who was looking at these Uchiha Clan warily.
Hatake The examiner left the scene after announcing the rules.
Genin who passed the exam can move freely and cram in the next half month.
Akaseki also looked at it at this time. Most of the twelve Genin from Konoha were familiar faces. They had gathered together at the Ramen store the day before the exam, accounting for eight of them.
Missing are Choza Akimichi, Inoichi Yamanaka, Hizashi Hyuga, and----the pommel horse and so on.
Needless to say, the other four people who came in, Uchiha Fugaku, among the other three, two of them, Akaseki, although they knew each other, were not too familiar with each other. They were both ninjas two or three years older than him. The last one - Akaseki, was also a little confused about who this person was? He looked about the same age as me, so why had he never seen him at the Ninja Academy?
"Ranwu, Minato, is the one wearing glasses a classmate of yours?" Akaseki asked curiously. From a visual inspection, she should be the same age or slightly younger than Akaseki, and does not look like she is bigger.
Ranwu and Minato shook their heads when they heard this.
Akaseki said and looked at Shikaku, Shikaku also shook his head----
"Huh?" Akaseki became even more confused. He, one or two years younger than himself, and one year older than him, had no impression of her at all--could it be that she didn't graduate from the Ninja Academy?
It's not Ninja Academy who graduated, why Genin?
If it weren't for the invigilators who never raised any questions, Akaseki would have suspected that someone was impersonating Konoha Genin.
"Brother Fugaku, let's go eat Yakiniku together later?" Akaseki once again extended an invitation to Fugaku. Seeing Fugaku looking at the people around him, Akaseki specifically added, "My treat! Shinnosuke pays!"
"Wrong? Can you invite me again?" Shinnosuke looked at Akaseki in shock - is this what you mean by inviting me?
Akaseki said, and also looked at Shikaku and said, "Call Choza and Inoichi too!"
Shinnosuke:----
Shikaku shook his head regretfully after hearing this and said, "They both have to stay in the hospital for two days."
Shinnosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
That's it for Shikaku and Inoichi. If Choza comes too, his little treasury will not be saved.
As for Hiashi, there is no need to specially invite him, he is already a teammate of Shinnosuke.
"That's it - by the way, you guys come together too!" Akaseki said, and took the initiative to stop the other three Konoha Genin.
A man with pink hair, combed into a five-pointed star, and his face glowing red at this time——Akaseki can also understand his pride, after all, he qualified with 1 point!
With both teammates kneeling down, he managed to get to the end with 1 point in each category, which is indeed worthy of "proud", because he was two years older than Akaseki, and his results were among the best at that time, so Akaseki still has an impression of him.
Another one, Akaseki, is even more impressive. She is a female ninja who looks beautiful but has a very strong style. When she was Ninja Academy, she was famous for her spiky hair and could be called "a certain red-haired senior".
As for the third one----
"? Is that okay?" Pink Starfish was still a little embarrassed.
"Okay!" Matsumoto agreed directly.
Immediately Akaseki said to Ranwu and Minato: "Let me introduce you----"
Ranwu and Minato are one or two years younger, so Akaseki probably has no impression of Matsumoto and Haruno.
"This is Kizashi Haruno. Although he is Commoner Ninja, his talent is pretty good."
Ranwu on the side rolled his eyes - Why are you speaking so condescendingly? Uchiha Clan, can you stop being so arrogant?
Kizashi Haruno looked very tactful and greeted everyone. After all--if nothing else, he should be the best among the twenty-four people!
"This is Yoshino Matsumoto. Before that little pepper entered the school, Matsumoto was the school's last female bully!" Akaseki said matter-of-factly.
"The last sentence is redundant----" Yoshino hit him.
As for----
Akaseki looked at the girl with glasses and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I really can't remember your name."
"If you don't know, don't recommend me!" Ranwu, stroking his hair and covering his mouth, complained to Akaseki in a low voice.
In fact, more than just being unable to remember, Akaseki felt that she was either not a graduate of the Ninja Academy at all, or that she was a childlike figure with a huge heart and was many years older than him!
"I'm Yakushi Nonō. Let's just have dinner together - there are more meaningful things. I hope you won't embarrass Konoha." Yakushi Nonō said coldly.
"What's going on with this guy?" Akaseki stared at her back unhappily.
"It's not like you don't know someone's name yet you still have to introduce me!" Ranwu complained directly.
But then Fugaku said something fair, "No, that shouldn't be the reason."
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Fugaku, wanting to find out if he knew anything hidden.
"I heard that some of the Genin who received ninja numbers this year did not graduate from the Ninja Academy, but were submitted from Root. All the information was kept confidential from the beginning." Fugaku did not say it clearly, but just mentioned that this situation existed.
This is different from Anbu. Although Anbu is secretive, it still selects people from existing ninjas and then seals the files. On the Root side, the ninjas submitted this year have no information from beginning to end, and it has become a parallel channel with the Ninja Academy.
Suddenly everyone understood what it meant!
Since no one knows her, I guess she is not from the Ninja Academy, which means----
"Let Root train ninjas from an early age? How can this be done?" Akaseki frowned.
However, because it was related to the secret department Root, especially the awkward relationship with the Uchiha Clan, no one continued this topic.
After that, there were eleven people left. After meeting Hyuga Hiashi and Kurama Murakumo, they went to the Yakiniku store together.
"Huh? Such a coincidence? Kurama, why are you here?" Akaseki said deliberately in surprise, as if to say, "Did I treat you?"
Fugaku frowned a little, feeling that Akaseki was a little too much and looked more and more like other tribesmen.
But before he spoke, Kurama had already said, "Oh, it's useless, I'm going to make you Uchiha Clan poor today!"
"Do you want to be shameless? Hey! Don't choke to death here!"
Fugaku:----
Fugaku decided to pretend not to hear what he said was "Uchiha Clan".
Only Shinnosuke reminded weakly from the side, "Well--even though it's Akaseki's treat, I'm paying the bill!"
Dongdong: There are only 28 days in February. Everyone is thinking of investing in Monthly Ticket, but there are still two days until expiration~
