Chapter 328: Celebration

The Hokage building.

In the hallway.

It just so happened that on his way out of 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 participate alone."

Yeruashi smiled at Hinata and told her about the exam.

Even the Elite Jounin of Konoha would suffer a severe headache when they faced the current Hinata.

If an Elite Jounin failed to win in a short time and the battle dragged on, it would inevitably lead to Hinata's victory.

With so much strength, Hinata certainly has the qualifications to participate in the test alone.

He, like Kakashi, took the exam alone, plus 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 her 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 are participating.

First, Naruto and Sasuke, whose strength is close to the Jounin level.

If they work together successfully and stimulate Sasuke's Sharingan, even an Elite Jounin can be defeated in a confrontation with them.

In addition.

Orochimaru also formed his own team, which included his son Mitsuki, Uzumaki Karin and Haku.

Mitsuki and Karin are not weak, and Haku has already reached Jounin level for quite some time.

In addition, there is Rock Lee, who can open the Fifth Gate, and other talented Genins. Although their personal strength does not reach the level of a Jounin, working together can cause great trouble even for Hinata.

"I'll do my best."

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 shy and indecisive compared to the past.

The determined and serious Hinata also looked quite cute.

Yeruashi smiled and raised his hand to pat her head, then went up to the top floor.

Yeruashi couldn't help but smile when he felt Hinata following him.

He opened the door and turned to Hinata, who was walking behind him

"Do you want to have dinner at my place?"

Auge!!!!

With Yeruashi's words, there were several loud sounds from the side of the door, as if something had exploded, and a large amount of confetti flew in all directions.

A light came on in the darkened room.

"Happy birthday, Hokage-sama~"

Rin, who was standing right in front of the entrance with a present in her hand, looked at Yeruashi with a smile.

Shizune was standing next to her, smiling, also holding a present.

The dark and quiet living room instantly took on a festive atmosphere.

There was a large table in the middle of the room with lots of different food, and some girls were busy in the kitchen.

"Happy birthday sensei."

Hinata blushed and pulled a present out of nowhere.

"You..."

Yeruashi smiled and shook his head.

She walked into 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 was Konan, skillfully making paper flowers.

Mei, who was standing by the table, turned her head and looked at Yeruashi as she entered, "Ah, you came back too soon, 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 and 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 Roran and Princess Fuun.... Don't you want to take this opportunity to set up 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, though her smile is still so cheerful, but sometimes Yeruashi felt that she has become dark.

Fortunately, this didn't happen to Kurenai, but Anko spoiled her...

Usually Kurenai still maintains a modest and cute image, but from time to time she takes some excessive and radical steps. It's worth saying that this behavior, completely contrary to the external image, was quite attractive and seductive.

"Ah, we've already prepared everything..."

Anko came out of the kitchen and put two plates on the table, looking at Yeruashi with a smile, as if she enjoyed seeing him in trouble.

Yeruashi walked to the sofa as if nothing had happened, sat down calmly and said with a smile, "You look surprisingly harmonious today."

"Right, 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 sensei, 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 time.

This was the first time since the complete unification of the Shinobi world that Genins, who previously belonged to other villages, participated in the Chuunin examination.

Allowing children who had previously belonged to other villages to participate in the Chuunin examination was a new stage in the unification of the Shinobi world.

With this step, even the Shinobi who previously belonged to other Grand Villages began to gradually accept these drastic changes that have occurred in the world in recent years.

Perhaps decades later, they would completely merge into Konoha.

Due to the dramatic expansion of the scope, the number of Genins participating in the examination has also increased considerably.

Over four hundred Genins participated in the first stage of the examination.

Among them were a large number of graduates from previous years, as well as young Genins such as 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 examination symbolized the equality and unity of the new Shinobi world, which should help the shinobi from other villages to join Konoha, Kakashi himself was present here as the main examiner.

In the surveillance room.

Yeruashi took a sheet of paper from the table and couldn't help but chuckle as he flipped through the contents of the exam, "Practically unchanged."

This Chuunin exam was practically the same as his exam in the past.

The first stage was still a written test that allowed 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.

"Sometimes I think 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 couldn't do it, in fact... he thought he still couldn't answer some of these questions perfectly.

Yeruashi took the test sheet from Sakura and smiled, "You need to control the amount of candidates... try to eliminate them so that no more than twenty people reached the final stage."

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded.
