Chapter 230 Class 10, Goodbye!
One month later, the fifteen Genin of the Earth Scroll Team took their third exam.
Ino, a ninja with reconnaissance capabilities, was patrolling outside the village with a makeshift team and did not go to watch the game.
Judging from the results, it’s pretty good.
Sakura was defeated by Tenten, Hinata, whose strength increased greatly, defeated her teammate Inuzuka Kiba from Team 8, and Fatty was defeated by Rock Lee, and was beaten to death.
In the quarter-finals, Tenten and Hinata had a fierce fight. It was like Tenten fighting a female version of Neci. In front of Hinata who mastered the secret technique of Kaiten, she couldn't find any flaws in her ninja tool throwing and was eventually eliminated.
The final was between Hinata and Rock Lee. In the end, Rock Lee, who had taken off the weight, was more skilled and won the championship.
Might Guy ran across the field holding his beloved disciple to celebrate the victory.
All six of them performed well. After the Chunin Exam, they received letters of appointment to be promoted to Chunin and received their respective Chunin vests.
Inside the barbecue restaurant, none of the four spoke. Even Choji didn't even look at the barbecue that was so close to him. He pursed his lips. For the first time, he, who had always been optimistic, experienced an emotion called separation.
"Let's eat first! The barbecue here is too expensive, and it won't taste good when it gets cold. Shikada, hurry up and eat!" Asuma took the lead, and the atmosphere among the few people became lively.
Ino suggested drinking some wine, and the two honest children, Shikamaru and Choji, hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
After a good meal and a good drink.
Asuma looked at Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji with considerable satisfaction.
The three of them were promoted to Chunin one after another. According to the agreement between the Sarutobi clan and the Ino, Shika and Chou clans, he had completed his mission.
Shikamaru was wearing a Chunin vest very properly, Ino was still wearing her purple sleeveless vest and ninja pants, and Choji was wearing the armor of the Akimichi clan, the only thing that remained unchanged was the big "food" character on his chest.
Asuma opened a box, then looked at them and said with a smile: "Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, congratulations, you are all Chunin now, and soon, you will be the captain of your respective teams, leading new teams. According to tradition, this earring is my gift to you. Don't forget the happy times the four of us had together. We were Team 10."
He pushed the box towards the three people and said, "This earring is proof of your respective family's independence. Now I give it to you."
The three of them took off their previous earrings and put on new ear studs. From this moment on, they were the sixteenth generation of Ino-Shika-Cho witnessed by the Sarutobi clan. Unless they did something particularly shocking, they would be the next heads of the three families. This was the family tradition.
At the same time, Team 10 completed its historical mission. The class still remained in Konoha Village, but in fact it was difficult for them to stay together again.
The village couldn't let a jonin take three captain-level chunins on a mission like a child. That would be a waste of resources. Previously, the village gave the 10th team tasks, treating the four people as a whole. From now on, the tasks will be directly assigned to them individually.
Asuma returned to the normal jonin team to carry out jonin-level missions, and the three of them also stepped out of the novice period and became the backbone of the village.
The team model will be much more flexible in the future. Three people are still a team, but the village will arrange temporary teammates to perform those Chunin-level tasks based on their personal abilities. Chunin is just a brick, go wherever you need it, there is nothing to say about it.
This situation will not last too long. As long as Ino accumulates a similar number of tasks, she can be promoted to a Jonin.
Her own combat record, the recommendation of the ninja family, and a sufficient number of missions were the three conditions for promotion. The first two seemed to be non-existent to her.
She would not stay at the Chunin level for too long, and the village would not allow someone of her strength to waste time on Chunin-level missions.
It was not a farewell of life and death, and they could meet often afterwards. The four of them had a big meal, and that marked the end of Class 10.
At the same time, Kurenai's Team 8 and Might Guy's Team 3 were also holding similar gatherings. The only exception was Team 7, because Naruto was still a Genin, and Jiraiya didn't think it was a big deal.
This is a common phenomenon in Team 7. One or two people in a team are promoted to Chunin. Will the remaining one face such a huge pressure and wait for another half a year and still fail the exam? No way? No one will always be a Genin, right? After the Chunin Exam, Ino soon received another mission. She handed over the flower shop work to Yamanaka Rino and came to the Hokage Building alone.
Shikaku, who was assisting the Hokage, motioned for her to go to the next room and wait for a while, as the Fifth Hokage still had official business to attend to.
Just look at Tsunade in the original time and space and you will know that the job of Hokage is extremely busy.
Ino had nothing to say, so she strolled to the room at the side and waited. After entering, she found that she was not the first to arrive, as there was another young man waiting for a task.
Judging from the vest, he was also a Chunin. When he heard her footsteps, he quickly turned around and greeted her enthusiastically.
"Ah?! Miss Yamanaka, hello, hello, I'm Kaminarimon Kojiro. I didn't expect to be on a mission with a genius ninja like you this time. Please, please, please take care of me!"
Raimon Yueli bowed deeply, and when he looked up again, Ino found that this man had a beard that looked very similar to Asuma, and looked to be in his twenties.
Ino didn't know the details of this person, so she answered politely: "Senior Raimon, please call me Ino. Please take care of me."
The other party waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I watched the Chunin Exam last August. To be honest, I was really shocked. I can't do it. I'm not good at fighting. I really, really need your care!"
Not good at fighting? Ino looked him up and down. Excluding the possibility that he was just pretending to be a pig and trying to take advantage of the situation, this guy really didn't have the aura and was weak.
As if worried that she wouldn't believe him, Lei Men Yue Li explained in a low voice: "I used to work as a civilian, but this time they asked me to carry out the mission. Really..."
He wanted to say that the Fifth Hokage was messing around, but at the end of last year, Jiraiya severely criticized all the heads of the village's logistics, procurement and other departments, and the heads all knelt down. How could a small pawn like him dare to refuse the Hokage's order? How could Danzo refuse? Are you Danzo? If I tell you to come, you have to come! If I tell you to assassinate the Raikage, you have to go. You say you can't beat him? Then you have to try first! Ino just smiled and said nothing.
She was a little confused. What kind of mission was it that gave her such a partner? Judging from the guy's appearance, he probably didn't have much combat ability. Could it be another fundraising mission?
Shikaku suddenly came in, and Raimon Yueli stood up like a spring. Shikaku motioned him to continue sitting, as this was not his mission.
He held a report and asked Ino: "You and Shikamaru mentioned a tram in your report in the Snow Country. Now you want to develop this tram in Konoha Village? And then run it throughout the country?"
