I'm Naruto, Starting With Ashura.

In the Hokage Building, as long as Jōnin is a teacher, everyone has gathered here.

Today is the day to decide who will take the Chūnin exam.

This is a procedure that must be carried out every year in Konoha. The Chūnin exam is also very important for every Genin. After all, this is one of the few opportunities for Genin to successfully be promoted to Chūnin. Every instructor Jōnin needs to prepare for it. Consider the students you teach.

The instructors of this class Jōnin are Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Hong and Sarutobi Asuma, and the classes 7, 8 and 10 they lead are the center of this Chūnin exam.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the guidance Jōnin who was almost in place.

"Everyone has arrived except Kakashi who is out on a mission.

"Is Kakashi's class also doing C-level missions this time? With the strength of their class, it's been a long time since they went out to do missions for two months."

Sarutobi "Five Forty" Asuma reminded casually.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen knew the reason and just shook his head slightly.

The true truth of the mission in the Country of Waves is hidden. The problem behind this is very serious. Maybe it is not a C-level mission, but it may even have reached a B-level or A-level mission.

And this time the task of Kakashi's class is also a long-term task, it is normal to not be able to come back so soon.

Of course, he was also paying attention to the information about the Kingdom of Waves, especially the news that the wealthy businessman Cardo from the Kingdom of Waves had died was big enough. Therefore, at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood what the Kakashi class was facing this time. kind of person.

"Kakashi's class is out for a long time for a special reason, and he has already reported to me about this reason."

Before the mission started, Sarutobi Hiruzen received a report from Kakashi Shadow Clone, and also learned about some of the circumstances of this mission, as well as the problem of Dazuna's client.

Just knowing is one thing, pretending not to know is another.

Coupled with some interests, Kakashi's wave country mission has not been cancelled.

"Since Kakashi isn't back yet, let's start with the others."

Sarutobi Hiruzen set his sights on Yuhihong and Sarutobi Asuma who have just become the guides of Jōnin this year.

"Then, it is officially announced that one month from today, the Chūnin selection exam will officially begin."

"Knock knock knock!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Come in."

"Excuse me, Hokage-sama."

"Oh, Kakashi? Did you just come back?"

It was a bit surprising to see Hatake Kakashi Sarutobi Hiruzen appear. I originally thought that the mission on the Wave Country side would take longer to end, but I didn't expect that he would have returned to Konoha today.

"How's the mission going?"

"It has been completed, and the client has also made a guarantee."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, this is the result he wanted.

The Land of Waves built a bridge, which also had a great impact on the foreign trade of the Land of Fire.

Being able to directly make the Kingdom of Waves owe a favor in this mission is the biggest gain of this mission.

"How about Naruto and Sasuke?"

"They performed very well on this mission."

This made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more looking forward to better performance from these two children, but the detailed report of the mission will be left for later. What we are talking about now is the Chūnin exam.

"As for the details of the mission, wait until after this meeting to tell me in detail. y

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to turn the topic back to the topic of this time, the Chūnin exam.

"As the instructors of this year, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma, you come out.

"Do you think the students you teach are qualified to take the Chūnin exam this time?"

"Only Genin who has been exposed to 8 D-level missions is eligible for recommendation. Of course, considering Genin's mission experience, he should have participated in more missions to be eligible for recommendation."

The Chūnin exam is no joke. There are many Genin who died in the Chūnin exam, and there are really too many Genin who died in the Chūnin exam in the past.

That is to say, because the mortality rate in the Chūnin exam is too high, the Genin who can participate in the Chūnin exam every year have considerable mission experience, and their strength has also been recognized by the instructor Jōnin.

Having experienced 8 missions such as D is the minimum requirement. If a Genin has not participated in even 8 missions, then even taking the Chūnin exam is equivalent to giving away E.

It’s just that the quality of this generation’s Genin is quite high.

The nine Genin from Class 7, Class 8 and Class 10 have all participated in the C-class mission, and even completed the crusade against the entire bandit camp in that C-class mission. They are all Genin with rich mission experience. 0

"Kakashi, it starts with you."

Hatake Kakashi put his index and middle fingers together in front of his mouth.

"The seventh class led by Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, the above three recommended them to take the Chūnin exam in the name of me, Hatake Kakashi.

This result did not exceed the expectations of the instructor Jōnin present.

This time, Class 7 led by Hatake Kakashi didn't have a single fuel-saving lamp.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were both Genin who outperformed Chūnin in the graduation test. Haruno Sakura's performance was slightly worse at that time, but her magical power was as strong as that of Tsunade-sama. It's worth looking forward to her subsequent performance.

Then came Yuhi Kurenai.

"The eighth class led by Kurenai, Hyūga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino, the above three, recommended them to take the Chūnin exam in the name of Yuhi Kurenai.

Finally, there’s Sarutobi Asuma.

"The tenth class led by Asuma, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chōji, Yamanaka Ino, the above three, recommend them to take the Chūnin exam in the name of me, Sarutobi Asuma.

The three instructors of this year, Jōnin, all recommended the new student Genin to participate in this Chūnin exam.

If the recommendation of Hatake Kakashi is taken for granted, then the recommendations of Yuhi Hong and Sarutobi Asuma are really a bit surprising.

After all, the Genin led by Kurenai Yuhi and Sarutobi Asuma do not have super strength. They are just the depth of Genin level. Even now they will not reach the level of Chūnin. The recommendation of these two is really a bit surprising. 5.7

"Red, Asuma, are you a little too anxious?"

Might Guy, who was also coaching Jōnin, came out. He recognized the recommendation of his old rival Hatake Kakashi. After all, the strength of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke was so amazing. They had just graduated and had strength that surpassed Chūnin. Even if they participated There was nothing wrong with the Chūnin exam.

"This Chūnin exam is different from last year. Sunagakure will send more outstanding ninjas to participate this time. If you are not careful, your students will suffer a lot.

Since the failure of the last Ninja World War, Sunagakure's funding has been cut by the daimyo, leaving Sunagakure to only provide elite education.

Coupled with the fact that Fourth Kazekage will also come to watch the Chūnin exam this time, there is no doubt that Sunagakure will definitely send out stronger young ninjas, which is a big problem.
