Chapter 19: The Chūnin Exam That Involves Most of the Ninja World
"is that so?"
"Okay, I understand! This mission will be counted as a B-level mission!"
"As for Murano Jihei, I will send someone to negotiate with him!"
Hokage Office!
Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out a smoke ring, and after sighing, he slowly set his gaze on Sunset True Self.
"Hey! Thank you for your help, Hokage-sama!"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen at his peak, even an old-time Jōnin like Yui Shinga, who barely reached the Elite Jōnin level, was still very reserved.
Not to mention, the three little ones, Uchiha Mikoto, Fujiwara Tetsuya, and Aburame Wooden Golem.
"Tetsuya! You did a great job this time! You didn't disgrace the honor of the Fujiwara clan!"
"Keep doing your best. Shingo is a good teacher. I believe that with Shingo's guidance, you will become a qualified ninja soon."
"Yes, Hokage! I will definitely learn from Teacher Xiyang and become a qualified ninja as soon as possible!"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze, Fujiwara Tetsuya straightened his back instantly.
His complexion also looked much more serious.
"Well! Don't be too stressed!"
"I believe you can do it!"
"Okay, I guess you're all tired, so just rest at home for the next two days and come back to take on the mission in two days."
"Hi!"
...
The Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans.
When Jiro Tanaka saw that Fujiwara Tetsuya was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was as if a huge stone had fallen from my heart.
"Uncle Jiro, take these silver coins!"
Fujiwara Tetsuya naturally didn't need to guess too much about Tanaka Jiro's thoughts.
With a chuckle, he took out 30,000 taels from his pocket and handed it to Tanaka Jiro.
This is certainly not the reward for the mission!
Even if the mission level of Sakura Town was upgraded to B-level, the reward would be at most 150,000 taels.
There was definitely not that much that fell into his hands.
These thirty thousand taels were part of the money looted from the cave.
According to Sunset's true self, this is what he deserves.
Uchiha Mikoto and Aburame Wooden Golem, more or less, also fluctuate around this number.

"Tetsuya, where did you get all this money from?"
"Did you say something you shouldn't have said to Master Xi Yang Zhenwo?"
Thirty thousand taels is definitely a huge sum of money for the Fujiwara, Tanaka, and Uesugi clans!
Including the one Fujiwara Tetsuya gave me some time ago!
Not only can it solve the short-term problem of food and drink, but it can also buy two decent sets of clothes for the children in the tribe.
"Uncle Jiro, don't worry!"
"This thirty thousand taels is part of what we looted from those bandits! Feel free to use it!"
After explaining a few words, Fujiwara Tetsuya slowly stood up.
Although there is a two-day gap!
But the training of a ninja is a process of accumulation over time.
After tonight, he still needs to go to the surrounding training grounds for a good look.
It's always good to earn some kill points.
The next morning, at daybreak, Fujiwara Tetsuya, carrying his kodachi, once again set out on the road to the training ground.
...
The time of youth is always immeasurable.
Like a fleeting moment, in the long life, only a few memories remain.
Six months passed in a flash.
Over the past six months, Fujiwara Tetsuya and the members of Squad 13 have carried out numerous B and C-rank missions.
While earning a lot of rewards, he also accumulated a lot of kill points through dozens of missions.
"Chūnin exam?"
"That's right, the Chūnin Exam! Teacher, I have handed over your application form for participating in the Chūnin Exam."
"How's that, Tetsuya! A Chūnin promotion as your eighth birthday present, isn't that nice?"
"Teacher, I am so creative!"
On the rooftop of a building in Konoha, Sunset Shingo was leaning on the rooftop. After telling Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, and Aburame Wooden Golem about the Chūnin exam, he became so moved that he couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
"Teacher Yuhi! Although your idea is good! But suddenly participating in the Chūnin exam is really too chaotic."
"As far as I know! This time, the Chūnin exam includes not only the Genin from Konoha, but also Genin from the Wind Country, Water Country, Rain Country, Earth Country, Lightning Country, and several other small country ninja villages, right?"
As a genius of the Uchiha clan!
Uchiha Mikoto obviously knows more inside information than a newbie like Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Wait! Mikoto, are you saying that the Genin from the other four nations and Rain Shinobi Village will come to Konoha to take part in this Chūnin Exam?"
Now, it is the 35th year of Konoha!
The time of World War II was not far away.

Look at it from the perspective of a time traveler suffering from paranoia.
The four great nations and Rain Shinobi Village are participating in the Chūnin Exam held by Konoha this time, definitely to test Konoha's bottom line.
"What's so strange about this!"
"Although more people are here this time! But there have been precedents of the Four Nations or Rain Shinobi Village participating in Konoha's Chūnin Exams before!"
"Why, little devil! Are you scared?"
"If you are scared! Then speak out loudly! For the sake of being teammates, I can give you some intensive training before the Chūnin exam begins."
When facing Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto's tsundere nature has never been extinguished.
Although, compared with before, my talking skills have become much softer now.
"Special training or something! That's not necessary!"
"After all, someone's strength may not necessarily be stronger than mine!"
Looking at Uchiha Mikoto's sculptured face, Fujiwara Tetsuya swallowed silently.
But I didn't choose to spoil him!
This is also a daily routine between him and Uchiha Mikoto.
"Humph! You little brat! You said that!"
"If Chūnin lags behind in the exam, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Great! Tetsuya! Mikoto!"
"Stop bickering between the two of you at this time!"
Look at the young faces of Uchiha Mikoto and Fujiwara Tetsuya!
The sunset really gives me a headache!
"In the next half month! I will personally guide you two and strive to make great progress in your strength before the Chūnin exam."
"As for the Wooden Golem!"
"Most of the Aburame clan's ninjutsu are related to bugs! I can't help you with that, but I've asked Seiki-senpai to help!"
"For the next half month, Senior Qinghui will personally teach you the secret techniques of the Aburame clan! This is a rare opportunity, so make sure you do your best!"
"Senior Qinghui? I know Teacher Xiyang, I won't miss this opportunity!"
Who is Aburame Seiki!
Fujiwara Tetsuya is not clear!
But looking at the solemn expression of Sunset's true self, Aburame Wooden Golem.
I understand too!
Aburame Seiki is most likely a veteran Jōnin of Konoha, or even a strong man at the Elite Jōnin level.
"Now that everything is clear, let's go!"
"Tetsuya, Mikoto! Meet me at Practice Field No. 22 tomorrow!"
