The Hokage building.
In the hallway.
It so happened that as he was leaving the Hokage's office, Yeruashi ran into Hinata.
"...you're just in time, I asked Kakashi to put your name on the list of participants in the Chuunin Exam, you will take part alone.»
Yeruashi smiled at Hinata and briefly told her about the exam.
Even the Elite Junin of Konoha will feel a severe headache when faced with the current Hinata.
If the Elite Jounin fails to win in a short time and the battle drags on, it will inevitably lead to Hinata's victory.
With such strength, Hinata certainly has the qualifications to participate in the exam alone.
He, like Kakashi, took the exam alone, in addition to his student Itachi did the same, so Hinata, as his student, will also be no exception.
The current Hinata is much stronger than Kakashi and Itachi, at the time of their participation in the Chuunin Exam.
But even this does not mean that Hinata can easily crush all the participants of the exam, because this time many very strong Genins take part in it.
First, Naruto and Sasuke, whose strength is close to the level of Jounin.
If you successfully work together and stimulate Sasuke's Sharingan, even an Elite Jounin can be defeated in a clash with them.
Besides.
Orochimaru also formed his own team, which included his child Mitsuki, Uzumaki Karin and Haku.
Mitsuki and Karin are not weak, and Haku has already reached the level of a Jounin for quite some time.
In addition, there is Rok Li, who can open the fifth gate, and other talented Genins. Although their personal strength does not reach the level of a Jounin, but working together can cause huge problems even for Hinata.
"I'll try.»
Hinata looked at Yeruashi seriously and nodded decisively.
The huge increase in strength had a noticeable effect on Hinata's character, she was no longer so timid and indecisive compared to the past.
The determined and serious Hinata also looked quite cute.
Yeruashi smiled and raised his hand to stroke her head, then he went to the top floor.
Yeruashi couldn't help but smile as he felt Hinata follow him.
He opened the door and turned to Hinata, who was walking behind him, " Do you want to have dinner at my place?»
Boom! Boom!!
With Yeruashi's words, there were several loud sounds from the side of the door, as if something had burst, and a lot of confetti flew in all directions.
A light came on in the darkened room.
"Happy birthday, Lord Hokage~»
Rin, who was standing right in front of the entrance with a gift in her hand, looked at Yeruashi with a smile.
Shizune was standing next to her, smiling, also holding a gift.
The dark and quiet living room instantly took on a festive atmosphere.
There was a large table in the middle of the room with a lot of different food, and a few girls were bustling around in the kitchen.
"Happy birthday, teacher.»
Hinata blushed and took out a gift from nowhere.
"You...»
Yeruashi smiled and shook his head.
He entered the living room and looked around.
The living room was decorated with a variety of paper flowers, but one corner had not yet been decorated, and there stood Conan, expertly making paper flowers.
Mei, who was standing next to the table, turned her head and looked at Yeruashi as he entered, " Ah, you're back too early, we're not ready yet...Hinata, why didn't you stop him?»
"I...this...»
Hinata hesitated.
Rin smiled and said, " Never mind, the surprise was still a success...»
After saying that, she looked at Yeruashi with her big beautiful eyes and smiled sweetly, " Do I need to invite someone else? I heard...that you have a very good relationship with the Queen of Rouran and Princess Fuun...don't you want to take this opportunity to assemble your harem?»
Yeruashi sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes, " Wouldn't we need another mahjong table then?»
The adult Rin has become less bright and cute compared to the past, although her smile remains as sunny, but at times Yeruashi feels that she has awakened demonic ki.
Fortunately, this did not happen to Kurenai, but she was spoiled by Anko...
Usually, Kurenai still maintains a modest and cute image, but from time to time makes some excessive and radical steps. It is worth saying that this behavior, completely contrary to the external image, was quite attractive and attractive.
"Ah, we've already prepared everything...»
Anko came out of the kitchen and set two plates on the table, looking at Yeruashi with a smirk, as if she enjoyed seeing him in trouble.
Yeruashi walked over to the sofa as if nothing had happened, sat down calmly, and said with a smile: "Today you are surprisingly harmonious.»
"Of course, because today is your birthday.»
Rin walked over and sat down next to Yeruashi with a smile, " If you're not going to gather a harem, then...who will you choose?»
The eyes of Kurenai, Shizune, and the others immediately turned to Yeruashi.
Hinata, who was blushing, also secretly looked at Yeruashi.
She knew that many girls liked her teacher, and she was genuinely curious about this matter.
Under the gaze of the surrounding girls.
Yeruashi looked at Rin and smiled mysteriously, "It's better if you can guess for yourself...»
...
The Chuunin exam started on schedule.
This was the first time since the complete unification of the Shinobi world that Genins who previously belonged to other villages took part in the Chuunin Exam.
Allowing children who had previously belonged to other villages to take part in the Chuunin Exam was a new stage in the unification of the Shinobi world.
With this step, even the Shinobi who previously belonged to other Great Villages began to gradually accept these drastic changes that have occurred in the world in recent years.
Perhaps decades later, they will completely merge into Konoha.
Due to the dramatic expansion of the scope, the number of Genins taking part in the exam has also increased dramatically.
More than four hundred Genins took part in the first stage of the exam.
Among them were a large number of graduates of previous years, as well as young Genins like Naruto and Sasuke, who graduated only this year, and of course there were a considerable number of Genins who previously belonged to other Shinobi villages.
Since this Chuunin Exam symbolized the equality and unity of the new Shinobi world, which should help the shinobi of other villages join Konoha, Kakashi himself was present here as the main examiner.
In the surveillance room.
Yeruashi picked up a sheet of paper from the table and couldn't help but chuckle as he skimmed through the contents of the exam: "Practically no changes.»
This Chuunin Exam was practically the same as his exam in the past.
The first stage was still a written test that allowed cheating and cheating, but the difference was that Naruto and Sasuke almost simultaneously noticed this and finished the test by cheating.
Sakura, as in the original, was able to independently answer all the questions.
"I sometimes think that it would be better for her to go to a normal school.»
Kakashi shook his head helplessly.
He thought that by going to a normal school, Sakura could easily become an outstanding scientist.
An independent perfect answer to all ten questions was extremely rare in such exams, even Kakashi failed to do it, in fact...he thought that he still couldn't answer some of these questions perfectly.
Yeruashi took Sakura's test sheet and smiled, " It's necessary to control the number of candidates...try to weed them out so that no more than twenty people reach the final stage.»
"Good.»
Kakashi nodded.
