Chapter 127: Toad Sage Jiraiya
Chapter 127: Toad Sage Jiraiya (First Update)
At the door of Tsunade's house.
Hanekawa was looking at the sky with light snow falling, slightly lost in thought.
He remembered the rules of the Chunin Exam that Asuma Sarutobi had mentioned last week, which were very similar to the rules of the Joint Chunin Exam that Uzumaki Naruto took part in.
Only the team battle in the second level is different.
In the original work, the players had to grab the scrolls of heaven and earth. After collecting both scrolls, they would reach the high tower in the Death Forest to pass the level.
But this time, the Chunin Exam is limited to Konoha Village, and there are not enough people, so this method is not suitable.
Asuma Sarutobi didn't know what it was specifically, he just said that the second level required one to pass through the Death Forest as quickly as possible.
Competition?
Hanekawa was thoughtful.
"Hanekawa!"
The sound of Sunset Red came from far away.
Hanekawa raised his head and saw a black-haired girl with a ponytail running towards him with a smile on her face.
I don’t know if it was influenced by him, but Kurenai Yuhi likes to wear a single ponytail instead of the loose hair in the original work.
In comparison, she has more youthful vitality and less of a wife-like feel.
"Cold?"
Hanekawa noticed her slightly red face and asked.
"not cold."
Xihi Kurenai shook her head and said.
"Let me warm you up."
Hanekawa stretched out his hand amid her puzzled gaze.
A faint chakra flowed out and turned into warmth.
With Hanekawa's current chakra control and mastery of chakra property changes, it is very easy for him to use this fire chakra.
After all, he still has the C-rank entry 'Five Elements Chunin' which increases the mastery of the five chakra attributes by 100%.
Yuhi Kurenai felt the touch on her cheek and was startled.
She reacted and looked at Hanekawa, she felt her heartbeat quicken and her face became more and more flushed.
It was not until she heard footsteps not far away that she quickly took two steps back and kept some distance.
"Hanekawa, good morning!"
Matt Guy greeted them warmly.
"morning."
Hanekawa nodded slightly and looked at Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin beside him.
“I met them on the road.”
Nohara Lin explained.
"What did you encounter? It was clearly..."
Matt Guy was interrupted before he could finish.
"Kai!"
Uchiha Obito quickly winked and said, "We just met by chance!"
Matt Guy was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted again.
"red."
Nohara Lin asked with concern, "Why is your face so red?"
"what?"
Xihihong panicked, fanned herself with her hands, and said, "I ran here, so I'm a little hot."
"The Chunin Exams are about to begin. Let's not waste time and talk while we walk."
Hanekawa coughed lightly and provided an assist in time.
"let's go!"
When Might Guy heard about the Chunin Exam, he clenched his fists and said excitedly, "I can already feel my youth burning!"
Hanekawa gave Hatake Kakashi a sympathetic look.
In a sense, it was quite remarkable that he had been able to tolerate Might Guy for so long.
Hatake Kakashi was silent.
Xihihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She couldn't help but look at Hanekawa, it was all this bad guy's fault!
"Let's go, Red."
Hanekawa took a few steps and turned back to shout.
"Coming!"
Xihi Kurenai hurriedly followed, a smile appearing on her face.
The first stage of the Chunin Exam is a written test, so the examination venue is set up in the Ninja School.
"Which examination room are you in?"
Asuma Sarutobi asked as he walked, "I'm in the first examination room, is there anyone coming with me?"
"Our team is in the first examination room."
Nohara Lin replied.
"Great!"
Uchiha Obito said happily, "Lin, let's sit together then!"
"If you are caught cheating, you will be disqualified."
Hatake Kakashi reminded with a deadpan expression.
"Hey!"
Uchiha Obito immediately said in dissatisfaction, "Arrogant Kakashi! I won't cheat!"
“You can actually cheat.”
Hanekawa smiled and suddenly said.
"what?"
Everyone showed a surprised expression.
"The written test not only tests theory, but also tests your ability to cheat under the examiner's nose without being caught."
Hanekawa paused and added, "But if you get caught, you'll have to fight again next year."
"I see!"
Uchiha Obito's eyes flickered.
When it comes to cheating, who can compare to his Sharingan?
Your answer is good, but the next second, it's mine.
"How to cheat then?"
Matt Guy scratched his head and asked.
"You better answer the question honestly."
Hatake Kakashi glanced at him and suggested.
With Might Guy's weird style, it would be a miracle if he cheated without being caught.
"Eh? What is that white-haired uncle doing?"
Xihi Kurenai raised her hand and pointed at a figure lying on the school wall not far away.
"Is this... peeping?"
Asuma Sarutobi looked at his sneaky appearance and immediately said angrily, "How can there be such a shameless person?!"
Hatake Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly.
He always felt that it looked familiar.
Hanekawa had already recognized him; it was Jiraiya.
"Humph!"
Asuma Sarutobi's sense of justice exploded, and he said, "Just you wait!"
"and many more!"
Hatake Kakashi spoke subconsciously, but it was too late.
"You bastard!"
Asuma Sarutobi jumped up and grabbed his hair.
"Didn't the old man teach you what politeness is?" Jiraiya appeared behind him in an instant and picked him up.
"Let me go! You pervert!"
Asuma Sarutobi's face suddenly turned red.
He originally wanted to show off, but ended up embarrassing himself in front of Hanekawa and the others.
"What perversion?"
Jiraiya was a little annoyed and shouted, "I am Jiraiya, the Toad Sage of Myoboku Mountain!"
"Are you Jiraiya?"
Asuma Sarutobi was stunned and looked at him.
Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, it was indeed the Jiraiya in his impression.
"I held you in my arms when you were a child."
Jiraiya said as he let go of Asuma Sarutobi.
"..."
Asuma Sarutobi pouted.
No matter how much connections you make, it won’t change your lustful nature.
He had heard quite a lot of rumors about Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya-sama."
After looking at each other, Hatake Kakashi and the others walked forward to greet them.
"Uncle Jiraiya."
Since Hanekawa is Tsunade's student, her name is a little different.
"Hanekawa, isn't your teacher here?"
Jiraiya looked at Hanekawa and asked.
"She's at home."
Hanekawa replied.
"You didn't go to the casino?"
Jiraiya asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Uncle Jiraiya, what are you doing here?"
Hanekawa changed the subject and asked.
"It must be peeping!"
Asuma Sarutobi said indignantly.
"Don't talk nonsense, kid!"
Jiraiya glared at him and said seriously, "I was observing the strength of the candidates taking the Chunin Exam."
"Are you the examiner?"
Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.
"You still have good vision!"
Jiraiya said proudly, "I am the examiner for your second exam."
Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Finished!
The Chunin Exam hadn't even started yet and he had already offended the examiner.
"Boy."
Jiraiya patted Asuma Sarutobi's shoulder and said, "I'll keep an eye on you for the old man."
"..."
Asuma Sarutobi suddenly revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Okay, go take the written test."
Jiraiya jumped onto the wall again and said, "See you this afternoon."
Hanekawa and the others said goodbye to him and entered the Ninja School.
In the original work, a total of eighty-seven Genin from Konoha Village participated in the Joint Chunin Exam.
Compared with other ninja villages, the number is overwhelming. Even the Sand Village has only thirty Genin.
This year's Chunin Exam was slightly less competitive, with a total of fifty-four Genin, divided into two examination rooms.
Hanekawa and the others were in the first examination room, so there was no need to separate and they went straight to the classroom on the first floor.
There were already quite a few people in the classroom, and when they saw them, they began to discuss in low voices.
Although they are young, they have considerable fame in Konoha Village.
Especially Hanekawa.
He is the most famous.
"hateful!"
Asuma Sarutobi said unconvincedly, "How come so many people know Hanekawa?"
He is the son of the Hokage after all. He killed everyone in the Hidden Cloud Village at the border of the Land of Fire, but no one mentioned him!
"Of course it's because of Hanekawa's strength!"
Xihi Kurenai crossed her arms across her chest and said with great pride.
"It must be because Hanekawa is the attending physician at Konoha Hospital."
Shizune thought for a moment and said.
After she became Hatake Sakumo's student, she asked to learn medical ninjutsu.
With his help, Shizune met the pharmacist Nono, and therefore often heard about Hanekawa's deeds in Konoha Hospital.
"Just luck."
Hanekawa smiled and said.
"When I defeat you, I will definitely be more famous than you!"
Asuma Sarutobi said unwillingly.
"No!"
Might Guy shouted, "Hanekawa's opponent is me! This is the promise of our youth!"
How can there be such an agreement?
The corners of Hanekawa's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"I will be the winner in the end!"
Uchiha Obito clenched his fists and said, "You will understand what Uchiha is!"
"Quiet!"
Just then, a young man with a chubby figure walked in.
Without a doubt, it was a ninja from the Akimichi clan.
"I am your examiner, Akimichi Doto."
The young man said in a serious tone, "The only rule of the exam is that you are not allowed to cheat. Once you are caught, you will be disqualified."
He said, and waved.
Behind him, two young men emerged and began distributing test papers.
Hanekawa thought for a moment and remembered who Akimichi Dotoshi was.
During the Third Ninja World War, he was a teammate of Minato Namikaze.
"The exam begins."
Akimichi Doto announced.
Hanekawa looked at the test paper on the table. It was much more difficult than the theoretical test in the Ninja School.
But for him, it is still within an acceptable range.
He picked up the pen and began to answer the questions.
As for the rest of the people, each showed off their talents, some answered the questions, some cheated.
As soon as the two hours were up, Qiu Daotangdong immediately collected the papers.
Just then, a figure jumped into the classroom from the window.
"Listen carefully, I am the invincible white-haired boy toad messenger, the handsome man who can even shut up a crying child, Master Jiraiya!"
Just like that, Jiraiya appeared in front of everyone.
The classroom suddenly became silent.
