The Latest Chunin Record

Konoha

The Konoha's Ten Thousand Person Arena was bustling with activity as wealthy merchants, nobles, and Daimyo from various countries came to Konoha to witness the Konoha Chunin Ninja Exams.

The Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha have selected sixteen contestants to compete in the quarterfinals.

The ninja system established by Konoha was largely copied and imitated by ninja villages in other countries.

Konoha's selection process for Chunin is not based solely on combat strength or proficiency in Chunin Ninjutsu.

Other relevant abilities, such as calm analytical skills and team leadership, are also required for advancement.

In the Chunin Ninja Exams, a good performance can lead to promotion to Chunin regardless of the outcome. Of course, being exceptionally strong is definitely beneficial for advancement.

In the Ten Thousand Person Arena, every twenty meters there stood a ninja wearing a blue hat, a blue shirt, black ninja combat pants and ninja boots, and they wore black vests and carried Ninja Sword.

Ninjas wearing blue shirts and blue hats would occasionally patrol the arena to ensure the safety and order of the Ten Thousand Person Arena.

These ninjas, dressed in blue shirts, mostly had a Shuriken ring Gunbai pattern embroidered on their left arm, while their right armbands were mostly inscribed with words like "public security," "security guard," "Special Police," or "police."

Such a grand occasion prompted Naraku to order all Konoha Military Police Force to work overtime, with everyone who was originally on leave now standing guard at the Chunin Exams site.

The Public Security Division and Security Division, which are large departments, have had all the staff except those responsible for maintaining the basic operations of Konoha transferred here.

There are Village Management Division patrolling the outer areas, and Special Police Division guarding the inside, so it's basically foolproof.

This time, none of the Kage from the surrounding major ninja villages came to Konoha to observe the grand occasion. Normally, the Kage from each country stay within their own village and don't visit other ninja villages.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado, sat atop the highest pavilion, observing the ninja exams below.

"We can begin."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, with his pipe dangling from his lips, said calmly.

The three advisors beside him did not respond. The one further away, wearing an Anbu, made Hand Seals and disappeared into smoke.

In the dueling arena below, the first to enter were the Kusagakure Genin and the Konoha Genin. At the referee's command, the two sides began their fierce battle.

Naraku in the stands of the arena. He had no interest in the Genin Naraku; he was just there to watch the excitement.

For Chunin Ninja Exams, Naraku still needs to be present to oversee things.

In the arena, Genin ninja) are skilled in the Three Body Technique, incorporating some C-rank Ninjutsu, engaging in battles of wits and courage.

The two ninjas below fought for five or six minutes before Konoha Genin delivered a powerful Taijutsu side kick, sending the Kusagakure ninja flying.

The Kusagakure tried to get up but couldn't; the Konoha Genin won.

The Konoha Medical Corps's First Aid Squad carried out a stretcher and dragged the Kusagakure ninja to the Emergency Medical Room set up inside the arena for treatment.

The second match began in the stadium.

A child who looked to be only five or six years old was fighting against a fifteen-year-old Amegakure Genin.

Whenever Amegakure holds the Chunin Ninja Exams and receives an invitation, they almost always participate.

He was determined to break the outside world's impression that Amegakure only relied on Demigod, and to let the outside world know that Amegakure's ninjas were also very reliable.

The age difference between the two ninjas drew cheers from the wealthy merchants and nobles who had traveled from afar to watch the spectacle.

"Hatake Kakashi?"

The five- or six-year-old child, with silver hair and wearing a mask, was a distinctive sight that Naraku recognized at a glance.

The sounds of discussion from the Konoha audience could be heard nearby.

"Is this Lord White Fang's son?"

"Yeah, I think he graduated from the Ninja Academy last year after attending for a month and became Genin, right?"

"He's only 6 years old, right? And he's already taking the Chunin Ninja Exams?"

These discussions excited the audience who had traveled from afar even more. Everyone knew the Daimyo of White Fang of Konoha, and the child in the audience was White Fang's son.

Many people exclaimed that they had made the right decision to come, and cheered from the sidelines.

Naraku also became interested in Kakashi's exams. The first and second rounds of the Chunin Ninja Exams had nothing to do with Naraku's Police Department.

Only in this third instance will Naraku and the Police Department need to assist in maintaining order.

The referee in the arena blew his whistle, announcing the start of the match.

In the arena, Amegakure Genin and Kakashi were seen throwing Kunai and Shuriken.

Although Kakashi is young, he is skilled in Chakra manipulation and has a considerable amount of Chakra, and his control over Chakra is also excellent.

Genin Amegakure Kakashi for a Kunai, the Amegakure Genin on his age and size advantage, charged forward to engage Kakashi in close combat.

The Amegakure Genin are experienced and know how to use their physical advantages. Kakashi is young, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage in a hand-to-hand combat.

I thought Kakashi would run away and wait for an opportunity to strike, but unexpectedly Kakashi did not retreat. He spread his legs slightly and bent over deeply.

Kakashi revealed the short sword slung across his back, his right hand resting on the hilt, poised to strike like a cheetah.

The Amegakure Genin, unaware of the danger, had a ferocious look in his eyes as he held an umbrella with a sharp tip.

"Go to hell!"

With a bloodthirsty roar, the Amegakure Genin charged forward, thrusting his umbrella toward Kakashi.

Uchiha Nara activated his Sharingan and carefully observed the two people in the arena.

Kakashi bent down, his hand resting on his short sword. Just as the Rain Ninja approached, he lunged forward and drew his sword in a slash.

Ninjas and samurai skilled in using Ninja Sword mostly draw their swords by hanging them at their waists and slashing upwards and from left to right.

Iaijutsu is a type of swordsmanship that emphasizes an Iaijutsu, deadly strike and possesses immense power.

Kakashi's sword-drawing slash involves drawing the sword from his back and delivering a downward, right-to-left slash.

Although this sword-drawing slash Iaijutsu, it contains some of the subtleties of Iaijutsu.

In the Ten Thousand Person Arena, the Rain Ninja, whose face was contorted with rage, now looked dazed.

Kakashi launched a sudden slash, currently Kakashi behind the Rain Ninja, and slowly sheathed his sword.

Blood began to flow from Rain Ninja's body at this moment. A knife wound, from her left shoulder to her lower right abdomen, had cleaved Rain Ninja in two.

The scene was extremely bloody and cruel; some audience members looked uncomfortable, while others turned pale.

Some were even more excited, cheering wildly.

"Is this the White Fang Short Sword?"

Naraku the arena, saw everything clearly.

That Rain Ninja actually only exchanged one move with Kakashi before dying.

Rain Ninja fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and strong, so she should have a great advantage.

The result was that he died in the first encounter, without any close combat or Ninjutsu exchange.

Moreover, even First Aid Squad cannot save someone from this type of injury.

Although the Chunin Ninja Exams are extremely dangerous, Death Waiver must be signed before the exam.

But this is the first person to die so quickly despite such a huge difference in strength.

Kakashi truly lives up to his reputation as a genius of Konoha.

On the high platform of the Ten Thousand Person Arena.

"Is this Kakashi, the son of White Fang? His swordsmanship seems to have inherited some of White Fang's essence."

Shimura Danzō's expression remained calm, but his gaze towards Kakashi in the arena revealed a burning passion.

"Indeed, this is White Fang's son; he's a truly excellent ninja."

Mitokado Homura nearby, spared no praise for Kakashi.

"Promote Kakashi to Chunin."

Xiaochun, one of the girls in the Group of Four, suggested that Utatane Koharu.

"Um"

Sarutobi Hiruzen responded with a nasal tone, holding a pipe and puffing out smoke, his expression somewhat gloomy.
