Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

The suppression of the Uchiha was proceeding in an orderly manner, and time passed quickly and it was the 21st year of Konoha.

It has been two years since Tsunade and the other two graduated from the Ninja Academy. With Hiruzen's recommendation, they all participated in this Chunin Exam.

Within two years, the three of them had completed all the D-level and C-level ninja missions up to standard, and even completed a B-level mission as an exception.

That’s right, it’s a copycat mission.

Taking into account the appearance of ninjas, the mission level was upgraded to B-level, and the mission bonus was supplemented by the village. After all, the person who issued the mission had died in the Sand Village.

Since it is not a joint examination, this Chunin Exam is just an internal assessment within Konoha and the format is relatively simple.

There are only two parts: written test and battle.

The first condition to become a Chunin is to pass the written test, and the second is to have an outstanding performance in the battle. The Konoha high-level will decide whether to promote to Chunin.

The written test of this exam is different from the later diversified training forms. It is entirely based on answers on the paper.

However, the questions on the paper are more difficult, involving various situations encountered by ninjas while performing their missions.

As a summoning beast, Gu Zang can be brought into the examination room, but he is not allowed to provide any form of help to Tsunade or other ninjas during the written examination.

Of course, rules are dead, but people are alive. Especially when it comes to Tsunade, the examiners are not so serious.

The chief examiner of Tsunade's written test was none other than Akimichi Tofu.

I'm working under my second grandfather, so I just turn a blind eye.

"Mr. Gu Zang~"

Tsunade whispered to Gu Zang on her shoulder:

"Is this not correct? It seems to be different from what was taught in Ninja School, but I kind of forgot..."

Gu Zang looked around to see if there were any familiar ninjas in the examination room. When he heard Tsunade's call, he looked down.

Hmm... a little big.

cough......

As she grew older, Tsunade's chest began to grow in size, and from Gu Zang's perspective, she could not help but see it when she looked down.

"Which question?"

Gu Zang asked.

Tsunade pointed to the latest question on the paper.

"While carrying out a mission, you encounter irresistible resistance and must make a choice between your companions and the mission. What will you choose? Why?"

Tsunade's answer was:

"First rescue your companions, then work together to complete the mission. Companions are more important than the mission."

Gu Zang said to Tsunade with a lack of interest: "This is well written, just like that, it will definitely get full marks, don't worry, little Tsunade~"

In fact, Tsunade's answer is the same as no answer. The main reason is that Tsunade grew up in a superior environment, and she herself is also a very strong medical ninja, so she can answer like this.

Normally, if you encounter an irresistible situation, you should prioritize saving your own life. Your companions may not be saved, and the mission will most likely not be completed.

Gu Zang remembered a famous saying of Brother Tuzi.

"Those who break the rules are trash, but those who don't value their companions are worse than trash."

Looking at Naruto as a whole, the core of many tragedies is actually caused by choosing one of the paths to extremes.

Do rules and partners have to be in opposition?

In Gu Zang's opinion, this problem is too easy to solve, I just won't choose it!

Gu Zang's thoughts were flying, and Tsunade lowered her head and began to write furiously.

Tsunade was still very happy about Gu Zang's recognition.

In fact, Tsunade is about ten years old, and her basic values ​​are already well-developed. What she lacks is only practice and recognition.

Doesn't she know how important mission completion is to a ninja?

Of course she knew, but Tsunade felt that the friendship between companions far outweighed the importance of the mission, and this was something she couldn't say to other ninjas whose relationships weren't close enough.

In Tsunade's view, Gu Zang's confirmation represented the recognition of the elders and that Mr. Gu Zang also thought so, or that Mr. Gu Zang was also such a "person".

Gu Zang didn't care about Tsunade's excitement.

For this question in the written test, no matter how you answer it, it will be correct, unless you have a brain failure and write it down like Gu Zang, you don’t care, God is the boss and I am the second.

This thing can only be used as a reference when considering promotion to a Jonin after it is retained, but it is only a reference.

The written test time passed quickly, and the sound of the pen tip scratching across the paper echoed in the classroom.

In a trance, Gu Zang even felt that he had returned to another world and was in the same examination room. When he looked up, he was surrounded by unfamiliar faces.

how many years?

Gu Zang didn't know.

When I was waiting for the old woman in the Wet Bone Forest, there was almost no concept of time, and the days passed by were almost numb.

Jingle Bell--

The exam time is up.

Two hours is plenty of time to answer the questions, but there are still some ninjas who scratch their heads and take advantage of the last moment to fill in a few more entries on the paper.

Some ninjas still feel unsatisfied. For subjective questions like this, some ninjas like to write long speeches and add extensions to express their feelings. This is normal.

"The battle will take place in one day. The battle list will be displayed outside the battle site on that day. The battle site is Training Ground No. 7. Now, all Genin, please exit the examination room."

The candidates left the examination venue in pairs.

The examination venue was a classroom borrowed from the Ninja School. Many ninjas liked to take another stroll around the school when revisiting the old place.

Tsunade and the other two were no exception.

"What?! I thought it was going to be difficult, but it turns out the questions are all very simple! I, Jiraiya, have been promoted to Chunin!"

The three of them were strolling around the playground of the Ninja School, Jiraiya holding his arms behind his head and shouting with a smug look on his face.

Orochimaru had a calm expression, with a slight smile on his lips. Although he didn't like overly lively environments, he got along very well with Jiraiya.

Gu Zang was still lying on Tsunade's shoulder, looking at Jiraiya with contempt.

What's so good about being a Chunin?

Haven’t you seen that the most powerful people in Konoha are all Genin? On the contrary, few of those Chunin and Jonin who are promoted quickly can end up well.

A cold voice passed by.

"A ridiculous civilian ninja, so self-important, but nothing more than a frog in a well."

The voice is a little childish, but one can tell from the tone that it is Uchiha.

Jiraiya turned his head with wide eyes and looked at the person who had spoken.

He was about ten years old, the same age as Jiraiya and the other two, but when he met Jiraiya's eyes, the slowly rotating double magatama was very obvious.

Short gray hair, a high neckline, raised cheekbones, and a cold expression.

"Hey! What's your name?! Why are you looking down on me?"

Jiraiya pointed at the other person, his indignation evident in his words.

"My name is Uchiha Yashiro, I'm just an ordinary ninja of the Uchiha clan, but for a commoner ninja like you, I'm indeed out of reach."

"As for you."

Uchiha Yashiro raised his head and looked down at Jiraiya. The disdain in his eyes irritated Jiraiya's proud heart.

"I'm not interested in knowing your name. If you meet me in battle, you'll understand what it means to be a frog in a well."
