Chapter 307: Chunin Exams in Sand Village
The Chunin Exams in Sand Village will also last for a month. At the end of June, the ninjas of Konoha Village will cross the sea of sand and rush to Sand Village to take part in the Chunin Exams.
After Ino and his class, and before Konohamaru and his class, there were no outstanding Genin in Konoha Village.
Naruto is still in the hospital taking care of the seriously ill Iruka. The Twelve Ninjas are too young, and they are afraid that they cannot control themselves. Only Ino follows him to the Sand Village as a medical ninja.
The jonin leading the Konoha team are Kakashi and Genma Shiranui.
Shiranui Genma's strength is actually not weak. He and Mitarashi Anko, both of them are special jonin, actually have the strength of jonin, or potential. Mitarashi Anko basically gave up on herself and lay flat. I won't work hard anymore. It's up to me. Shiranui Genma didn't lie flat, but his luck was always a little bit worse.
As a special jonin, his personal rank is actually lower than his personal strength. This is very similar to the fact that Ino is still a chunin. Both of them are stuck with insufficient number of missions.
Ino simply completed too few missions, and he had no chance to carry out high-level missions.
Genma Shiranui was able to tie with Maki, the elite jonin of the Sand Village, at the Chunin Exam, so his personal strength is actually very strong.
Given Maki's situation at the time, there was no need for him to hold back and he was definitely going all out. Even so, Genma Shiranui was able to fight with him for a long time as if nothing had happened, and it was not until Kakashi and Might Guy finished cleaning up the soldiers from the Sound Village and came to help that he didn't have any injuries on his body and his clothes weren't dirty. Even later, when the three of them were standing and chatting with Maki, Genma Shiranui was still standing in the C position.
All in all, it is absolutely no problem to say that he is an elite in the soy sauce industry.
The reason why he completed few missions and was unable to be promoted to Jonin was because he always stayed outside the core circle of the Hokage.
He wanted to get closer actively, but no one gave him the chance.
After carefully studying Genma Shiranui's resume, it is found that as a well-known figure in the soy sauce industry, he has basically been involved in all the major events that can be named.
He encountered the Seven Mist Girls during the Third War right after graduation, when Might Guy opened the Eight Gates, and he was active in many major events, including serving as the bodyguard of the Fourth Hokage, presiding over the Chunin Exam, recovering Sasuke, the Fourth Ninja World War, teleporting Mei Terumi, and chasing the Second Tsuchikage. However, his vision and luck were a little worse.
Initially, he was not valued under the Third Hokage. He had set his eyes on Minato Namikaze early on and followed him around. After Minato Namikaze came to power, he was considered to be a follower of the dragon and was taught the Flying Thunder God Technique. Although he did not learn it and learned the Flying Thunder Formation Technique, he was still very valued at that time.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The Fourth Hokage died too early, and then the Third Hokage came back to power, and he suddenly became embarrassed.
After more than ten years of hard work, he regained the trust of the Third Generation and served as an examiner for the Chunin Exam. In the end, the Third Generation died.
Now, after working so hard to gain the trust of the Fifth Hokage, what happened? The Fourth Hokage was about to be resurrected again? The Fifth Hokage wanted to return the position of Hokage to the Fourth Hokage, but the Fourth Hokage refused.
He was speechless about this. What on earth was the reason for all the trouble he had been going through for more than a decade? ! It was Temari who came to greet the Konoha group from the Sand Village.
Temari looked tired and seemed to be forcing a smile.
Ino also smelled a faint smell of blood from her body. This was definitely not caused by something, but a murder. If nothing unexpected happened, someone must have taken the opportunity of her leaving the village to kill her.
The situation inside the Sand Village is even more unstable than expected.
Seeing Hercules specially coming out of the village to greet her, Ino felt a little embarrassed. She could only say that once you are in the world, you have no choice. In order to get the Mangekyō Sharingan from Shisui, she actually caused so much trouble. She felt that no matter what, she should protect Miss Hercules. Anyway, sooner or later, you will marry into Konoha and it should be no problem for you to become a family in advance.
"Hmph, why do you look so grumpy? Did you hear the news that I was promoted to Jonin?" Temari said proudly.
Ino snorted, "Tsk!" This Sand Village is really empty-handed. In order to provide Gaara with an assistant, someone like Temari was able to be promoted to a jonin. Your qualifications are too far behind!
"Yes, you are awesome, okay? Did your somewhat stupid brother get promoted as well?"
Kankuro looked at her with a dark face. She whistled like Tsunade, and anyone who agreed would be a fool.
When Gaara became the Fifth Kazekage, Temari and Kankuro also rose in status and were all promoted to Jonin.
The Sand Village, which is short of talent, can only use blood ties to forcibly promote two jonin to help Gaara stabilize the situation.
Ino just kept shaking her head, so pitiful.
The older generation of the Sand Village are Chiyo and Ebizo, but these two old men are no longer in charge. The backbone is Maki and Yura, who is also a spy. The rest are the three little ones. Unfortunately, Gaara is already the fifth Kazekage, and he will not surrender to Konoha. The political environment also does not allow the Fire Country to annex the Wind Country.
There is a high probability that they will go to war in the future.
There are sixty Genin in Konoha this time, including old ones who have failed the exam seven or eight times, and newcomers who just graduated from school and are targeting Ino and his classmates.
Temari took a rough look and found that their strength was average. On the contrary, the Genin from the Sand Village had the advantage this time. That's it!
The Sand Village held the Chunin Competition in its own village, and of course it wanted to take advantage of its hosting position and show off its presence in front of many ninja villages.
As long as Konoha doesn't steal the limelight from them.
Konoha and the Sand Village are allies, but the allies of allies are not necessarily allies.
As one of the five major ninja villages, the Sand Village has some foundation. Some of the surrounding small countries are its dependencies and have sent their Genin to take the exam.
The Sound Village and Konoha, which Orochimaru established in the Land of Rice, are no longer allies now, but the Sand Village and the Sound Village have always maintained contact and have not broken the alliance.
Jonin Honglian brought twelve ninjas from the Sound Village to take the exam.
When the Konoha group walked into the Sand Village, they happened to see Guren training with her men. This powerful female ninja didn't even look at the Konoha group, but snorted with great disdain. From their outward behavior, it was impossible to imagine that the two sides were in the same group.
As a high-ranking official of Konoha Village, Kakashi went to meet Gaara on behalf of the Fifth Hokage to discuss the details of the competition.
Genma Shiranui arranged for the Genin to rest and prepare for the theoretical exam two days later.
Ino, who has always believed that "if you can't be a good prime minister, you'd better be a good doctor", visited the hospital facilities of the Sand Village accompanied by Temari.
"You said you were a medical ninja?" When Temari heard that Ino, the woman who pinned her brother to the ground and beat him, was a medical ninja, she didn't believe it at all. How could it be possible? I didn't believe it!
