Qualifications

"Yasui!! It's you!!" Ino came and jumped on Yasui, giving him a romantic hug. Her arms went around his neck and his cheeks landed on his cheeks.

She was wearing her favorite purple clothes. Most of her skin from her thigh to her chest is covered with white bandages.

"Aish." Yasui sighed after Ino used him as a coat rack. He decided that since this keeps happening, he might as well tease the girl back.

Yasui reached into his pocket and grabbed some change. He threw it on the ground, pretending that he had accidentally dropped the coins.

"Ino, stop. I've dropped something." Yasui pushed ino away and pointed behind her.

"Huh? Oh, you've dropped some coins. Let me get them for you." Ino stopped breaking into Yasui's comfort zone and turned around. She bent over and reached for the coins on the ground.

"Eeek!! Ta-Yasui!!!" Ino jumped up and ran back. She felt her bum being groped and pinched!

"Ahhaha." Yasui laughed. He did indeed grope Ino's plump butt with his hand before giving it a hard squeeze. He did not even regret it. It was very soft and squishy. It's also tender and erotic at the same time!

Asuma, Shikamaru, and Choji stared with their eyes popping out. Their mouths dropped to the ground too! Did Ino just get molested in front of them!?

"Yasui, you pervert!" Ino pouted and made two little fists. She ran back to Yasui and started pounding his chest with only a little force.

Asuma and the others wondered why Ino is even fine with it?!?!

They thought about how protective Ino's father is, and they couldn't help but sweat. Inoichi Yamanaka would definitely have a long hard talk with Yasui if he found out about this affair.

"You look like you're having fun flirting, Yasui. Is this your girlfriend?" Katsumi came out with Dangos in her hands and smiled cheekily.

"I-I'm not his boyfriend yet. Yet!" Ino couldn't help but take a peek at Yasui after hearing Katsumi.

"Anyways, who is this big sister, Yasui? She's so pretty!" Ino asked. She had seen Katsumi multiple times at Konoburger, but she didn't introduce herself.

"Her? She is big sis Katsumi. She's a business partner of mine." Yasui smiled. He didn't go into details about her past.

"And this is Ino Yamanaka. She is a very close classmate. I told her that when she develops big breasts, I will– MMHHMHM"

"Don't talk! Don't speak! Don't say anything!" Ino's face turned red and jumped at Yasui, covering his mouth with her hands! This boy is too daring! He dares to expose their little secret in front of others!

Yasui felt like he was suffocating, so he tapped Ino's hand, giving up. He was scared that Ino might suffocate him to death!

"Hehe. It's nice to meet you, Ino." Katsumi chuckled and gave a polite greeting bow.

"It's also great to meet you, big sister Katsumi! I admire you a lot for helping Yasui run such a big restaurant like Konoburger! That place had become the talk of the village recently." Ino had admiration in her eyes.

"Hmm. I'm going to have to go for now." Asuma looked towards the hawk in the sky and wondered if the time had already come for the Chunin exams.

"Ah? Okay, Asuma." Shikamaru also looked at the sky. He recalls his father talking about there being advancement exams after seeing a hawk crying in the sky.

…

…

In the Hokage building, Hiruzen sat in front of many leaf Jonins. Each of them are people who are currently leading a genin team.

"As I would assume, you all might've seen many unfamiliar faces around the village lately, and you might have guessed that the Chunin exam is coming," Hiruzen spoke.

"So it's already that time..." Kakashi didn't think that the Chunin exams were going to be put forth so quickly.

"In other words, the other lands have already been notified?" Asuma asked his father Hiruzen.

"And, when will it be?" Kurenai also asked. She is the only odd one who is not wearing a jonin flak jacket.

"Yes, the other lands have already received notice, and they will all arrive shortly. To answer your question, Kurenai, the Chunin exams will begin in one week." Hiruzen puffed out a large amount of smoke.

"That's very sudden," Kakashi interjected. It hasn't even been a year since their genin team was formed, so this exam is indeed a little too sudden.

"Even so, I will now make an official announcement to all of you. Seven days from today… the Chunin Exam will begin! All of you who think that your team is qualified to participate may speak up now." Hiruzen stared into the eyes of the Joinin who got their genin teams not long ago, wondering which ones of them will come forth.

Hiruzen waited, and the people that he expected to come out did step forward. They are Kakashi and Asuma.

What he didn't expect, though, is that Kurenai and Arisa had also stepped forward.

Kurenai's team is full of tracking ninjas from the Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans. Hiruzen didn't think that this team would have a chance at winning, but he is not going to say no if they think their students can enter.

It was also unexpected when Arisa came forth. She is the Jonin of the full kunoichi team: Tachibana, Sakura, and Airi. All in all, this team head showed some development as a team. However, he has yet to see any significant improvements from each of the members.
