Chapter 126: List of Chunin Exam Candidates

Chapter 126: List of Chunin Exam Candidates (Fourth Update)
early morning.

Hanekawa took out the key and opened the door of Tsunade's house.

He glanced at the gloomy sky, closed the door, and couldn't help but let out a breath of hot air.

After entering December, the temperature in Konoha dropped rapidly.

It probably won’t be long before we see the first snow of the year.

Hanekawa took off his shoes and walked into the living room.

There was no doubt that Tsunade had not yet gotten up.

"teacher!"

Hanekawa knocked on the door and yelled.

"I heard it! Stop it!"

Soon, Tsunade's impatient voice was heard in the room.

A classic morning routine.

Hanekawa was already used to it, so he turned around and went to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, a bowl of steaming hot pork bone ramen came out fresh from the oven.

But what he didn't expect was that he still didn't see Tsunade.

Hanekawa placed the pork bone ramen on the dining table and opened her room directly.

Tsunade was curled up in the quilt, sleeping soundly.

Hanekawa walked forward, reached out his hand, and pinched her nose.

A few seconds later, a fleshy, white, long leg stretched out from the quilt and kicked towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Hanekawa stepped back and avoided the dangerous kick.

He met Tsunade's dissatisfied eyes and said calmly: "It's time to eat, teacher."

"understood!"

Tsunade sat up, revealing her large pajamas, "You're so annoying, little brat!"

"You are too lazy, teacher."

Hanekawa shook his head and said.

"go out!"

Tsunade glared at him and said, "I need to change my clothes."

"Yes."

Hanekawa turned and left, closing the door.

Tsunade got out of bed.

She was wearing not pajamas but a nightgown last night.

Other than that, there is nothing.

Tsunade thought of the kick just now and felt a little embarrassed.

But it seemed that the little devil didn't see it.

Tsunade changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When she came to the living room, she saw Hanekawa sitting at the dining table with a bowl of tonkotsu ramen in both hands.

"What are you doing? Keeping yourself warm?"

Tsunade asked, somewhat confused.

“It’s heating.”

Hanekawa raised his hand, and a faint heat wave swirled around his palm.

That is Fire Style Chakra.

"Thank you."

Tsunade was slightly startled, then sat opposite him and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

“I ate at home.”

Hanekawa paused and added, "It was done by Uncle Shinkuen."

Home?

At this moment, Tsunade had an urge to let him stay here, but it quickly disappeared.

She picked up the chopsticks, picked up the pork bone ramen and took a sip.

“I think it tastes a lot better.”

Tsunade's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but praise him.

"As long as the teacher likes it."

Hanekawa smiled and said.

Tsunade's feeling was not wrong, because of the new entry he had acquired.

[C-level talent entry: Senior chef.]

[Trigger condition: Cooking reaches proficiency. ]

【Effect: Deliciousness increased by 50%.】

After cooking for so long, Hanekawa finally upgraded from the D-level term 'Intermediate Chef' to the C-level term 'Senior Chef'.

From this point of view, the next upgrade will most likely be 'Super Chef'.

So it's following the route of "The Cooking Master Boy"?
"What are we training for today?"

Hanekawa came back to his senses and asked.

"Let's go to the Hokage Building first."

Tsunade took the time to reply and said.

She felt that the pork bone ramen was particularly delicious and she couldn't stop eating it.

"The next task?"

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No."

Tsunade took a sip of her ramen soup and said, "It's to submit an application for the Chunin Exam."

"I see."

Hanekawa nodded and said, "I wonder how many people will take part in the Chunin Exams."

"You are my student. If you don't get first place, you will be in trouble."

Tsunade looked at him and said with a smile on her face.

But that smile was full of malice.

No need to think, you know it's not a good thing.

"The first place is definitely..."

Hanekawa stopped in time.

It was not a good sign to say this before the game started. He didn't want to be a general on the stage with flags all over the place.

"You'll know when the time comes."

Hanekawa coughed lightly and said.

"I'll see."

Tsunade still has confidence in Hanekawa.

After all, he had been the number one in the Ninja Academy for six years.

Although there were many geniuses in his class, none of them were his match.

"I am full!"

Tsunade stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, savoring the taste and saying, "Today's ramen is really good."

"I'm going to wash the dishes."

Hanekawa took the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Soon, the two closed the door and headed to the Hokage Building.

Bang.

The door was kicked open.

Tsunade walked into the Hokage's office with a calm demeanor.

"You'll scare me into insanity sooner or later."

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly took a puff of his pipe to calm himself down and said.

"application."

Tsunade flicked the application form and it landed on the Hokage's desk.

"It's a shame that we can't hold the Joint Chunin Exams these days."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the application and sighed.

Tsunade understood the hidden meaning in his words.

The Joint Chunin Exam is a Chunin Exam that is attended by multiple ninja villages. It is usually held only in relatively peaceful times in order to demonstrate the strength of each village to the daimyo and nobles.

The better your performance, the more tasks you will be entrusted with.

Sarutobi Hiruzen meant that with the strength of Hanekawa and the others, they should take part in the Joint Chunin Exam and bring fame to Konoha Village.

Now that the Hidden Cloud Village is ready to make a move, the Konoha Village naturally does not dare to hold a joint Chunin Exam.

"Alright, show me the list of Genin who will be taking the Chunin Exams."

Tsunade glanced at Hanekawa and said.

"Why? To gather intelligence for your students in advance?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but laugh, "That's not like your character."

Tsunade has been a loner since Rope Tree's death.

Although he still lives in Konoha Village, most of the ties have been severed.

Now that she has Hanekawa, she is back to normal.

"Do not talk nonsense!"

Tsunade said with a frown.

"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and took out a document.

Tsunade ignored his words, picked up the document and took a look at it.

There really weren't any genin worth noting.

She handed it to Hanekawa casually.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile became even more intense.

As expected, I asked this question because of Hanekawa.

He was naturally happy to see the changes in Tsunade now.

There was no way, his other two students were becoming more and more troublesome.

Jiraiya, needless to say, was looking for the child of prophecy outside the village all day.

Apart from completing missions, Orochimaru would stay in the village doing experiments or studying ninjutsu.

To be honest, none of them are suitable to be Hokage, only Tsunade is the most suitable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how long he could remain as Hokage.

Maybe if a Ninja World War breaks out, he will die in an accident like his teacher Senju Tobirama.

In short, it is safer to determine a successor to the Hokage.

Hanekawa opened the file and found that they were all acquaintances.

Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, Sarutobi Asuma, Shizune and others.

He quickly scanned through them and found a few new but memorable Genin.

Morino Ibiki, Ebisu, Mizuki, and Shiranui Genma.

Except for Shuimu, all of them are graduates from the previous class.

Ibiki Morino was a teammate of Konoha's Anbu Interrogation Department and was also the examiner of Uzumaki Naruto's written test for the Chunin Exam.

Ebisu was the tutor of Sarutobi Konohamaru, the grandson of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Genma Shiranui, who served as the Hokage bodyguard of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, also knows the Flying Thunder Array Technique which can only be used by three people.

Of course, the above are all things of the future. Right now they are just ordinary Genin.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Hanekawa closed the file and gave it back to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"fine."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nonchalantly, "It will be announced soon anyway."

"Then let's go first."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

"Don't be late. The Chunin Exams are next Monday."

Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded.

Bang!
The door was slammed shut.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

None of his three students has any manners!
On the contrary, his students' students, such as Minato Namikaze and Hanekawa, are very knowledgeable about the rules.

"Should we let Orochimaru take in a student?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and fell into deep thought.

Tsunade had gotten over Rope Tree's death, but he had a feeling Orochimaru hadn't.

"Let's go back."

Tsunade glanced at the Hokage Building and turned to leave.

Hanekawa hurried to catch up with her.

When the two returned home, they found that the house had become very lively.

In addition to Nohara Rin and Yuhi Infrared, there are two ninja teams including Hatake Kakashi and Sarutobi Asuma, a total of six people, all present.

"You guys chat."

Seeing this, Tsunade did not disturb them.

"When did you come back?"

Hanekawa asked with a smile.

"yesterday."

Sarutobi Asuma showed a proud look on his face and said, "Our team has completed a B-rank mission!"

"What's this?"

Uchiha Obito said, not to be outdone, "We have already completed several B-rank missions!"

"So are we."

Yuhi Kurenai put her hands on her hips and said, "And Lin and I completed it together."

"what?"

Uchiha Obito couldn't help but exclaimed, and asked, "Lin, are you in danger?"

"There are some."

Nohara Lin smiled and said, "But they were all solved by Hong."

"..."

Asuma Sarutobi's face suddenly froze.

Ordinary Genin teams would have to wait three or four years to complete B-rank missions, but it was clear that they were the exception.

Life is really lonely as snow.

Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh.

He just wants to show off, why is it so difficult?

"By the way, do you know the rules of the Chunin Exams?"

Asuma Sarutobi's eyes suddenly lit up and asked.

"do not know."

Nohara Lin and Yuhi Kurenai shook their heads.

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito also looked at him.

"I know!"

Asuma Sarutobi said excitedly.

"Say it!"

Uchiha Obito asked impatiently.

"The first stage is a written test."

Asuma Sarutobi raised a finger.

"what?"

Uchiha Obito suddenly screamed, "Why is there a written test in the Chunin Exam?"

He has never been good at theoretical courses, and has never touched them again after graduation.

Now that he had to take the written test, he already had a premonition of a terrible situation.

Matt Guy also looked embarrassed.

Only Hanekawa and the others were indifferent, after all, they were all academic masters.

"The second level is a team battle, and the third level is an individual battle."

Asuma Sarutobi continued.
