Iruka's words just finished.
The person above Third Hokage hasn't said anything yet.
Hatake Kakashi on the other side said directly.
"Iruka-sensei, I know you care about the students, but Naruto and they are no longer children. After two months of Ninja career, based on my judgment, I think they have the strength and qualifications to participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams. And when I was Naruto's age, I was already Jonin."
Kakashi looked at Iruka with faint eyes.
"You are you, and Naruto is Naruto. This cannot be said to be the same at all. Kakashi-san, you also know that they have only graduated for two months. The cruelty and difficulty of Chunin Ninja Exams are simply not something they, the new Genin, can bear."
Iruka said with a very serious expression.
"Iruka-sensei, your knowledge is too narrow. Two months is already a long enough time for a Ninja. Naruto, Sasuke and their The strength is already far beyond your imagination, and, most importantly, Naruto and the others are now my subordinates. I will make the judgment on whether they have enough strength and qualifications to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams."
"But!"
When Iruka still wants to say something more.
"Iruka."
At the first place, Third Hokage also smashed his pipe and spoke slowly.
"Since you have chosen to become Ninja, you must bear the corresponding awareness. They are no longer children. Since the leader Jonin has already recommended it, it is a different kind of recognition. You don't need to worry."
Third Hokage looked at Iruka with deep eyes and spoke softly.
The profound meaning contained in it.
Iruka's expression changed slightly, and immediately he could only sigh secretly, take half a step back, lower his head slightly and said.
"Yes, Lord Hokage, I understand."
"Well, very good. In that case, let's finalize the list of participants. The remaining specific matters, Ibiki and Anko, will be left to you."
"Yes, Third Generation-sama!"
Immediately afterwards.
Third Hokage finally explained some necessary matters and directly announced its dissolution.
The following matters can be left to these Jonins to handle.
But it is related to some of the above reception issues.
It still needs Third Hokage, the head of the village, to handle it.
Including the main competition stage.
It is almost certain that Kazekage, as well as Land of Fire, Land of Wind, Land of Rivers and other high-level dignitaries from these countries will come to Konoha to watch this time Chunin Ninja Exams, just like these high-level officials High-level politicians look down on the 'barbaric' Ninja, but they need Ninja to help them deal with many 'vulgar things', rely on Ninja to maintain their rule, etc. Ninja here does not necessarily look down on these high-level political figures, including Daimyo from major countries., but some concepts and customs from ancient times to the present still make Ninja people basically respect these political figures, at least nominally obey the orders of their country's Daimyo, and even the appointment of the leader of the Ninja Village needs to be approved by Daimyo ( In fact, it is a process, or there are several forces in the village that are fighting against each other, and they need to win the support of Daimyo. Otherwise, look at the succession of leaders since the establishment of the ninja villages, how many of them really need Daimyo to give instructions? Almost all of them are just symbolic reports after confirmation.)
Based on this relationship.
There is a relatively delicate relationship between high-level political figures and Ninja.
The same is true for Chunin Ninja Exams this time.
Some people still need to be received by Third Hokage in person.
At least that's the case with Kazekage.
If Daimyo of the Land of Fire is also interested in coming.
Third Hokage You need to be more respectful in terms of etiquette.
The next day, at nine o'clock in the morning, Konoha was in the same place where Team 7 had gathered yesterday.
At about the same time.
The three people Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura and Team 7 are gathered directly here.
Almost not long after the three of them arrived.
Kakashi surprisingly arrived at the gathering place on time.
The moment I saw Kakashi appear.
Don't say Sakura.
Naruto and Sasuke each showed a look of surprise.
Gathered together so many times.
There were only a few important escort missions in which my guide Jonin was not late. At other times, he was usually two or three hours late. It didn't matter that he was not late today, but he actually arrived a little early? The meeting time was nine-thirty, and there were still more than ten minutes until the agreed time.
Sakura even had an expression on his face. "Does the sun come out in the west today?"
He was faced with expressions of varying degrees of surprise from his three subordinates.
Kakashi, who was as shameless as a city wall, still looked lazy, as if he didn't care at all that Jonin, the leader of the team, had lost face in front of his subordinates.
"Hey, good morning, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura."
Kakashi waved in his signature style and said with a smile.
"Good morning, Kakashi-sensei."
Sakura replied subconsciously.
He came back to his senses immediately, with a shocked expression on his face and raised the volume slightly.
"No! Kakashi-sensei, you're not late today!? You came early when there was no mission!? Did something happen? Kakashi-sensei?"
Sakura looked at Kakashi with a worried look in his pupils and said this.
This made the shameless Kakashi couldn't help but cough slightly.
"Ahem, I do have something important to inform you three today."
Bring the topic directly.
Kakashi said this in a more solemn tone.
"Is it something important?"
Fallen words.
At this moment, the three people each showed different expressions.
Sakura tilted his head, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Naruto's expression seems to be unchanged, but in fact, he also has corresponding guesses in his heart.
Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly and fixed his gaze on Kakashi.
"Yes, it is a very important matter, regarding your promotion, which is Chunin Ninja Exams!"
Kakashi nodded gently, with a smile, and said softly.
"Chunin Ninja Exams?"
Sakura blinked.
Sasuke on the side also tilted their heads, with a look of interest clearly showing in their pupils.
"Well, this time it is hosted by our village and united with many ninja villages to hold an exam for Genin to be promoted to Chunin. As long as you pass this assessment and are recognized, you can be promoted from Genin to Chunin. I have already taken the Team 7 As the captain of, I recommend you three to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams. This is the qualification form. If the three of you are also willing to participate, please fill in your information on it. Five days later, at three o'clock in the afternoon, report to Classroom 301 in the Ninja Academy."
Kakashi took out three Chunin Ninja Exams registration forms directly from his pocket and handed them directly to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura in front of him.
Three people each received the registration form.
Sasuke clearly showed an aura of excitement and eagerness to try.
Sakura still seemed a little unresponsive.
Naruto looked at the Chunin Ninja Exams registration form in his hand, his eyes becoming deep.
