Chapter 140 Chunin Exams

At 6:30 am the next morning, Kanpū got up on time to wash up for three minutes. After that, he gave himself a bowl of wide noodles, and after eating, he went out to the Hokage Tower.

After the friendly exchange with his cheap father last night, Kanpū finally didn't have to worry about others asking him about his growth. Although doing this would covering one's ears whilst stealing a bell, but over time, by relying on Uzumaki Clan's physique, Kanpū's Chakra will grow with each passing day, and with the aid of Collection Technique, even if the Body Revival Technique is exposed in the future, he can still… hand over Shinnō's scroll. (T/N: Covering one's ears while stealing a bell refers to the ignorance and foolishness of the person who deceives himself as well as others)

'By the way, where is Shinnō's scroll?'

Kanpū touched the chin: 'Could it be taken by Hayate?'

'That's right, behind the scroll, there is the Eight Gates Released Formation's information recorded with a digital password!'

Unfortunately, when Kanpū used the Collection Technique on this string of passwords before, the green light cluster in his mind didn't move at all.

Kanpū speculates that either this string of digital passwords must be cracked before they can be collected, or this string of numbers has no meaning at all.

Kanpū is biased towards the first one, after all, he must leave a thought for himself.

When he reached Hokage Tower, Shikuro, Yui and Shisui had already arrived.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go."

Shikuro is in big sunglasses and a high-collar trench coat again today. Only his forehead is exposed, and half of that forehead is covered by a forehead protector.

Kanpū looked at the Shinobi who greeted Shikuro from time to time, and wondered how those people recognized Shikuro.

'Or perhaps, they basically regard Shikuro as the Aburame clansmen they know. After all, Aburame Clan dresses in the same way!' The moreKanpū thinks about it, the more he believed it as the truth!

Entering the Mission Center, Shikuro first delivered the report of the mission, and then receive a reward of five thousand ryō.

The quest experience on the Shinobi Certificates of Kanpū's group of three has also become D-Rank: 2 times.

Then, the group of four divided the spoils in the mission center, and 40% of them were taken away by Shikuro. There is nothing to say. After all, Shikuro is a Jōnin, and he can earn hundreds of thousands from a single mission before, but now that he has become a Jōnin Instructor, he is unable to leave the village for mission, and he also has to spend time and energy to train Kanpū's group of three, only by taking 40% of the commission… but Kanpū still feels heartbroken.

After that, Shikuro took them away from the Mission Center.

"Shikuro-sensei, aren't we doing missions today?"

Kanpū shoved the one thousand ryō in his arms into his pocket and asked.

Shikuro said without looking back: "Let's go to the competition today!"

"Competition?"

Kanpū's first reaction was the NBA, CBA, World Cup and so on, but Konoha obviously won't have these.

"Is it the Chunin Exams?"

Next to him, Shisui eyes lit up and said, "After the Academy is on holiday, Chunin Exam will begin. Today is the eighth day, and it's almost the Finals now!"

Chunin Exams are held two to three times a year, usually after the Academy's holiday.

Shikuro did not refute, and acquiesced.

'Chunin Exams…'

Kanpū remembered that Tabako seemed to have participated in this Chunin Exams. But he doesn't know if she had made it to the end.

The group of four walked through the streets and alleys, and when they reached a place with few people, they ran at full speed and ran for more than half an hour before reaching their destination.

The venue for the Chunin Exams is about the size of two football fields. It is a perfect circle, and is surrounded by a one-meter-high stone wall. Outside the stone wall, there are many villagers watching the fun, and there is no shortage of Shinobi.

Kanpū looked around and found that at the south of the venue, and a stand was erected, where higher-ups such as Hiruzen, and Homura were sitting.

Kanpū observed this venue and felt that it is a little familiar.

A thought suddenly flashed through Kanpū's mind, imagining the scene of the high walls and towering towers of this venue, which immediately matched the venue of Naruto and Sasuke's Chunin Exams in his mind!

Just as Kanpū was thinking about this, a voice suddenly woke him up.

"I really miss this place."

The visitor walked step by step, his golden hair reflected the dazzling light from the sun, and his blue pupils were full of memories.

It's none other than Namikaze Minato!

"Minato-sensei, why are we here?"

The long silver hair was rippling in the wind, Kakashi rested his hands on the back of his head, his salted fish eyes drooped slightly, and he looked bored.

"Kakashi, aren't you worried about Obito and Rin?" Minato said with a smile.

"Isn't the Chunin Exams very easy? What's there to worry about?" Kakashi said lazily.

"Obito and Rin are not as talented as you."

Minato looked around, looking for a place with few people to watch the battle, and then met Kanpū's eyes.

A thought flashed through Minato's mind: 'Is it him?'

The person who paid for their dinner at the Gekkō Tavern last time and also praised his girlfriend's beautiful hair.

Minato gave him a friendly smile.

Kanpū hurriedly responded with a reserved but polite smile.

"Hey, it's Kakashi-senpai."

Shisui also noticed Minato and Kakashi at this time, and recognized the best genius of Konoha.

Shikuro turned his head and glanced at them, his gaze under the sunglasses shifted from Kakashi to Minato, and then the insects in his body became agitated slightly.

Shikuro was shocked when he felt this, 'He could actually make my insects restless, that blond man is definitely not so simple!

The two people looked at each other for a few moments, and Minato and Shikuro turned around and walked away.

Kanpū has no choice but to follow Shikuro.

After a while, Kanpū and the others found a place with a higher ground. And when standing on it, they can have a panoramic view of the entire venue.

Kanpū and the others waited for a while, and the Finals of the Chunin Exams finally began.

The players enter the arena first.

Under the leadership of the head examiner, two rows of Genin slowly walked into the arena. There were males and females, and there were fifty-sixty people!

'So many?'

Kanpū was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he remembered that now is the time of war and the situation outside is very tense. So, it is in Konoha's interest to select more Chunin.

Kanpū squinted and found several familiar figures.

Obito, Rin, Tabako, and Genma Shiranui, who wraps his hair with a cloth and had a senbon in his mouth.

In addition, there are Shinobi from the Hyūga Clan, Uchiha Clan, Ino–Shika–Cho and other Shinobi clans, there are also many civilian Shinobi.

But whether it's spirit, strength or other things, these civilian Shinobi can't be compared with clans' Shinobi!

Kanpū's gaze moved around them, and finally returned to Obito.

Obito stood beside Rin, chatting continuously while also dancing, but it was a pity that Rin would seem very nervous, and only responded to Obito in a perfunctory manner.

Obito was hit and dejected, but soon, he cheered up again and found a new topic to start the strong chat mode.

Kanpū sighed when he saw this: 'This is another licking dog.'

'Huh?'

'Why did I say another?'

As he thought about this, the head examiner in the arena had already finished speaking about the rules of the competition, and then Hiruzen in the stands got up and loudly announced that the Chunin Exams had officially started.
