Chapter 24: Chuunin Exam (Edited)

Yeruashi, of course, didn't know the thoughts going through Kakashi's mind.

He only noticed that Kakashi had returned home, but stopped at the door when he heard voices inside the house, and left after a while, it seemed that for some reason he wanted to avoid communicating with Kurenai and Rin.

Even knowing Kakashi's thoughts, Yeruashi would find them too stupid and funny, now only nine years old, isn't it too early to think about this?

....

After Rin and Kurenai left, Yeruashi started his training.

Only three days left before the exam, it was impossible to pass the second stage of Hatake kenjutsu in such a short time, mastering A-Rank Chidori ninjutsu is also unlikely, he could only wait to open the third gate, the Gate of Life, of the Hachimon Tonko.

"If I can open the third gate, the Gate of Life, of the Hachimon Tonko, I should be able to easily pass the exam even without using time acceleration."

Yeruashi judged in his mind.

Time flew by.

Under the glare of the setting sun, Yeruashi spent the night before the Chuunin exam training.

"Phew."

Looking at the setting sun, Yeruashi stretched his body and stopped training.

Tomorrow the Chuunin exam would start, this would be Yeruashi's first mission as a ninja and he needed to be in perfect condition.

Yeruashi clenched his fists and smiled.

After packing up and returning home, he ate quietly and went to bed, no longer applying the time acceleration.

In the morning Kakashi wasn't at home, it seems he left very early, Yeruashi wasn't too worried about that, and after breakfast, he headed to the Chuunin exam place.

At that time.

Many people were gathered in the room designated for the Chuunin examination.

A rough estimate of about sixty people, most of them were Konoha ninja and about a dozen belonged to other villages.

Yeruashi looked at the ninja from Konoha and looked carefully at the ninja from Kirigakure and Kumogakure

"... Huh"

Looking at the Kirigakure ninjas, Yeruashi was a bit surprised to see that among the Kirigakure Genins, there was one person who looked somewhat familiar.

If he wasn't mistaken, the other party should be....

Hoshigaki kisame!

Future representative of the seven swordsmen of the Mist, member of Akatsuki and associate of Itachi.

Kisame should only be about ten years old now.

Apparently sensing Yeruashi's gaze, Kisame turned and looked sideways at Yeruashi, and a pair of shark pupils radiating coldness fixed on Yeruashi

"Young Hoshigaki Kisame? I wonder how strong he is now"

Yeruashi looked into Kisame's eyes and turned, muttering under his breath under his breath, then his gaze swept over the rest.

He didn't recognize the other two Kirigakure Genin, the same went for the ninja from Sunagakure, Amegakure and Kumogakure, Yeruashi didn't have any special impression of them.

While Yeruashi was observing the ninjas of the other villages, the ninjas were also observing him.

"Who is this?"

"Silver hair... Is this Hatake Kakashi?"

Some Konoha ninja looked at Yeruashi and whispered.

In Konoha, it's hard to find a person who doesn't know Kakashi, who got the rank of Chuunin at the age of six, Yeruashi was similar to his brother and immediately drew attention.

"No."

Someone recognized Yeruashi and shook his head, "This is not Kakashi, but his older brother Yeruashi, he is much worse than his younger brother."

Tsume Inuzuka stroked her chin and said, "When did this boy become Genin, I don't remember at all? Is he going to participate in the Chuunin examination alone?"

Someone exclaimed, "He has average talent, but he dared to participate in the exam alone? This guy has the guts, huh."

This is the third time he has taken the Chuunin exam, and he remembers how he almost lost his life on the first attempt.

The Chuunin exam and the graduation exam are completely different things that can't be compared!

"Hatake Yeruashi? He's not a Hyuga or an Uchiha!"

"Don't pay attention to him!"

Hearing these conversations, the two Genin of Kirigakure also looked at Yeruashi.

Captain Jounin ordered them to be extremely attentive to the Uchiha and Hyuga clan members, whether Sharingan or Byakugan, either of these dojutsu have abilities to fear, all other Genins do not deserve their attention.

"This is not necessarily so."

Kisame bared his sharp teeth and looked at Yeruashi and said, "This kid noticed me as soon as he entered the class, he must have some skills."

"Really?"

One of the Kiri ninja smiled coldly, "This isn't bad either, otherwise the exam might get pretty boring."

While everyone was talking, a group of Konoha ninja entered the classroom, led by a Jounin.

"Silence!"

With a stern shout from Inoichi Yamanaka, the class was enveloped by the oppression belonging to a Jounin, which immediately silenced most of the Genin present.

"I am the chief examiner for the first stage of the Chuunin examination, Inoichi Yamanaka. Provide your personal information, after verifying, take the number and sit in the appropriate seats."

Yeruashi, leaning against the wall near the door, looked at Inoichi Yamanaka.

If he remembered correctly, he is Ino's father and a member of this generation's Ino-Shika-Cho trio. It seems that Konoha takes this Chuunin examination very seriously, as each stage is led by a Jounin, not Tokubetsu Jounin as in the anime.

Soon.

Yeruashi entered the room and sat in the appropriate place.

Since Yeruashi's main goal was to eliminate the representatives of Kumogakure and Kirigakure as soon as possible, he already knew the content of the exam.

It is almost the same as the exam in the anime. The first stage, a written test of knowledge and ability to gather information, but without that last question.

The second stage, the battle in the Forest of Death for the scrolls of heaven and earth. And finally the third stage, one-on-one battles.

Soon the tests were distributed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After receiving the exam papers, Yeruashi began to write quickly.

For someone who knows the contents of the exam beforehand, this test is of course very simple, even before entering the class, he created a shadow clone, which became a Chuunin with the help of Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Jutsu) and busily entered the class after Inoichi along with the rest of the group of examiners.

Moreover, Yeruashi is able to answer most of the questions on his own without having to resort to cheating, so he answered the exam questions in about a minute.

"Turn in the exam early?"

Inoichi looked at Yeruashi a little surprised, took the exam sheet, looked at it carefully and nodded, making sure the answers were correct and said, "Okay, you passed."
