Chapter 136: The Lively Chunin Examination (Ch 703018997)

When the Narita team completed their mission and disbanded, the three members, together with Narita Reizo himself, immediately found their friends and spread the news that Chikoe was going to take part in the Chunin exam.

By the time night came, almost all the ninjas in the village knew the news. Regardless of whether they had heard of the name Chiko Hui before, they all knew her now.

A ninja who almost didn’t graduate will take part in the Chunin exam in a year. When hearing the news, some ninjas are disdainful, some are curious, some don’t believe it, and there are also many ninjas who are full of expectations.

After all, not everyone is a protagonist like Uzumaki Naruto, who has all the tricks up his sleeve. Ordinary people make progress step by step. It takes only a genius to understand the difficulty of going from a barely Genin to a Chunin in one year.

So the next day, when Chi Zihui arrived at the Chunin examination site accompanied by her sister Kotake, she was shocked by the scene before her.

Originally, there were only a few hundred Genin who signed up for the test, and even if their teammates and captains were counted, there were only about a thousand people, but now there were over ten thousand people sitting outside the training ground for the test.

Among these tens of thousands of people, there are ninjas of all levels, as well as a large number of ordinary people, but the majority are Genin. They all want to see if the lucky Chiko Hui can successfully pass the test.

Perhaps Chi Zihui and her sister Xiaozhu were the only ones in the audience who didn’t know the reason because they hadn’t gone out the whole day.

Kajiyama Satoshi and Kawakita also received the news early, and they were both relieved. Fortunately, Chiko Hui was in the team, otherwise, they would be the ones to be noticed.

At this moment, the two were waiting for Chi Zihui’s arrival outside the training ground.

When seeing Chikoe with a confused look on her face, Kajiyama knew that she definitely didn’t know that she was the culprit that caused all this.

Pulling Chikoe and Kotake to a secluded place, Kajiyama briefly and quickly explained the whole story to the only two people in the audience who were unaware of the situation.

Then the two sisters’ mouths became O-shaped together.

Before the two could come to their senses, Kawakita spoke first: “Now we have become the focus of this Chunin Exam, and Teacher Yichen is not here, what should we do?”

This is also the reason why Kajiyama Satoshi and Kawakita have been waiting outside. Influenced by Yi Chen, the three of them are not the type who like to show off, and some are not used to being the focus of so many people.

But Kajiyama Satoshi and Kawakita were both from ninja families after all, and even they were helpless, let alone Chikoe, who was born into a commoner family, she was even more at a loss.

Normally when the girl is performing tasks, she can come up with ideas with her wisdom and carefulness, but she can’t handle this kind of situation.

Fortunately, someone helped them solve the problem. The two examiners walked up to the four people and said to Kajiyama, “Are you the disciples of Master Yichen?”

“The examiner has arranged a place for you to rest. Please follow me.”

Although this Chunin examiner was talking to Kajiyama, his eyes would occasionally glance at Chikoe. Another Chunin examiner was even looking Chikoe up and down, as if he was looking for something special about this little girl.

Zhi Zihui had naturally noticed this a long time ago, and thought: “Even the examiner has this mentality, let alone other people.”

It was a good thing to have someone to help, so Kajiyama Ridai expressed his gratitude to the two Chunin examiners. Then the four of them followed the examiners into the training ground.

As the chief examiner, Ikura knew the news last night and was prepared for today’s scene. He used earth escape in advance to create a stepped viewing area around the training ground, allowing the ninjas and civilians who came to watch the test to watch from this temporary stand.

Of course, everyone is happy to have a place with a good view to watch the show, so although there are many people around the training ground, everything is in order and there is no chaos.

Led by the examiner, the four came to the resting area for the ninjas taking the exam.

The so-called rest area is actually part of the viewing area. At this time, most of the ninjas who participated in the assessment have arrived, so the rest area is crowded.

The arrival of Zhi Zihui and the other three did not cause any waves. After all, not many people knew them.

After the four of them sat down, six people came over. Chikoe didn’t feel much when she saw the newcomers, but Kajiyama obviously knew them.

“Mirai, Tsuko, Misa, Aya, Mayu, Yuka, you are also coming to take the test?”

Hanamatsu Mirai looked at Kajiyama Satoshi with some envy. As the top student in last year’s graduating class, he had originally looked down upon Kajiyama Satoshi. He had never lost to Kajiyama Satoshi in any battle at the Ninja School.

However, the invisible man who was previously ignored is now much more famous than himself. Hanaoka Mirai is a little unconvinced. As a classmate, he knows how talented Kajiyama is, and he does not think that Kajiyama’s current strength is better than his.

On the contrary, it was Kawakita next to Kajiyama who brought him considerable pressure. He was very familiar with that kind of sharpness. As a melee ninja, he was very sensitive to this kind of momentum.

“Is this sword energy?” Huagang Weilai was slightly surprised.

Graduating as the top student, Hanaoka’s future leader’s attributes are actually more in line with him, and he is also a melee ninja. Coincidentally, like Kawakita, he is a jonin who can use sword energy.

Hanagara Mirai, who was surprised by Kawakita, did not speak for a while, but Kaminotsuko next to him did not have so many thoughts.

“Kajiyama Satoshi, please introduce your teammates!” Kamnotsuko said casually.

The corners of Chuanbei’s mouth twitched. This was the big sister of their class. When he was in the ninja school, he suffered a lot at the hands of this witch. He subconsciously took a half step back, then pushed Chuanbei next to him and said, “This is Chuanbei, from the next class. You should know him. He must have been beaten by you a lot in the past.”

Chuanbei was speechless. Why are you bringing this up? Besides, many people have been beaten by this female devil. How could she remember if you introduced her like this?

Sure enough, Kamnotsuko frowned and thought for a long time, and she couldn’t remember when this taciturn boy in front of her had been beaten by her.

But the big sister didn’t care about such a small matter, and didn’t care about Chuanbei’s feelings at all. She said directly: “Who wants to know this piece of wood? Forget it, go wherever it’s cool.”

As she spoke, Kaminozuko pushed Kajiyama aside and walked directly in front of Chikoe. She was a head taller than Chikoe, and she looked down at Chikoe from a close distance and said, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Kaminozuko. From now on, you are under my protection.”

After saying that, he pulled the confused Zhi Zihui away from the crowd.

Seeing Chikoe being taken away by the newly recognized big sister without saying a word, Kajiyama Satoshi and Kawakita didn’t even intend to stop her.

The two of them obviously recalled the fear of being dominated by each other during those years. The other two also knew that although Kamnotsuko was not interested in boys, she was still very caring towards girls.

Kamnotsuko and her teammate Hosokawa Yuka, together with Hanaoka Mirai’s teammate Aida Misa, led Chikoe away, and Chikoe’s sister Kotake followed behind the four of them.

“Huh~~” Hoshikawa Yao, Ikeda Satsuki, Kajiyama Satoshi, and Kawakita all breathed a sigh of relief. It was obvious that the big sister was still putting a lot of pressure on everyone.

After Kaminoko’s interruption, Hanagon Mirai came back to his senses. He looked at Kajiyama and continued the topic he started with: “Kaminoko, Hoshikawa Yoshi, Aida Misa and I are all going to participate. But you are a little unexpected.”

Those that Hanaoka Mirai mentioned were the best students in their class, while the remaining one, Ikeda Satsuki, did not sign up because she was not strong enough.

At the same time, Ikeda Satsuki is also the most complicated person in the group. His talent is not much different from Kajiyama Satoshi, and his strength is also similar.

But he doesn’t even have the strength to take part in the Chunin Examination.

But looking at the still somewhat shy Kajiyama, Satsuki Ikeda felt as if she was facing a genius like Granite Mirai.

Kajiyama is popular in the class, and all the classmates came over to say hello. But because Kawakita is usually quiet, the classmates are not very close to him. So although they saw Kawakita from a distance, they hesitated and did not come over to say hello.

In addition to the dozen or so people participating in the competition from Kawakita and his group, there are two ninjas left who are younger than them.

Both of them are newly graduated ninjas, one is Jun Maruyama who has awakened his Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai at a young age, and the other is Aya Mikami, a descendant of a rare ninja beast family among the Rock Ninjas.

The other ninjas who took the test were older than Kajiyama and his friends. Some of them were even middle-aged, and they were the type who would have no chance of promotion under normal circumstances.

After a while, the assessment session officially began.

First, all the ninjas participating in the assessment entered the middle of the training ground to draw lots.

It was also during the drawing of lots that the audience who did not know Chi Zihui before all recognized her.

“That’s the one, the little girl in purple clothes. She is Chi Zihui. We were classmates.” As soon as an audience member recognized Chi Zihui, he couldn’t wait to introduce her to the people around him.

There were obviously many similar situations among the audience. Chikohui’s neighbor Meiko was also pointing at Chikohui’s figure and introducing her to the people around her with envy on her face.

This kind of discussion was fine at the beginning, after all, not many people knew Chi Zihui. But after a while, before it was Chi Zihui’s turn to draw the lot, the news about her identity had spread throughout the audience.

Although they were far away, Chi Zihui could clearly hear the voices calling her name from all directions. She looked up at the audience and saw that almost everyone was looking at her.

Moreover, when she looked up, everyone noticed it at once and burst into cheers.

Then someone shouted, “Zhi Zihui, come on.”

Then everyone started shouting, and in the end this was the only voice left in the entire venue.

“Chikoe, come on.”

“Chikoe, come on.”

Zhi Zihui was stunned for a moment. Although she knew that most people came for her, she originally thought that everyone was jealous of her or dissatisfied with her, and they were all prepared to face various challenges.

Who would have thought that the abuse and slander she had imagined did not come, but encouragement greeted her. This puzzled Zhi Zihui for a moment.

In fact, Chi Zihui has always had a misunderstanding. In the big family of Iwagakure, the degree of unity among the ninjas is higher than she imagined.

Although everyone envied her good luck, most of them thought that as a civilian ninja, there was still a chance for her to succeed.

Everyone can accept with a calm attitude that others are more talented than themselves, and can also accept that others have obtained better and more resources since childhood.

But there is one thing that everyone cannot accept, that is, they think they have some special talents in certain aspects, but due to the lack of guidance from famous teachers, they cannot be cultivated.

But Zhi Zihui’s story gave everyone hope.

Older people think that even if they miss it in this life, their children will have the chance to be valued by some important person in the future.

The younger ones wondered if Zhi Zihui’s success would encourage those strong men to take in more disciples. In that case, maybe they would be the next lucky person.
