Hyuga's Rebellion

Chapter 10 The Chunin Exam is Coming
After finishing the journey in the land of waves, members of Kakashi's seventh class and Kaiban have returned to Konoha, and the bridge that carries the hope of the people of the land of waves has finally It was completed, but its name was changed to "Konoha Bridge" by Mr. Dazner, also to commemorate the selfless help of Konoha Ninja to the country of Waves.

Somewhat deserted in the courtyard, Ning Ci was sitting there quietly at the entrance of the entrance of the house, with a cup of steaming tea on the tatami beside him, but at this moment, Ning Ci raised his head and squinted his eyes to look at The dazzling sun in the sky, but I don't know what to think of.

Before Hinata Hisashi passed away, the atmosphere in this courtyard had been very deserted, and since Neji inherited the inheritance from his father, the courtyard was still extremely deserted, except for the members of Kaiban who would come here from time to time, there was no No one else showed up.

But Ningci was used to this deserted feeling, and at the moment he was digesting the news from Teacher Akai.

"Ningji, the Chunin selection has begun. Last year you refused because of the mission, but you must not miss today's exam. It is enough for you to cope with this exam with your strength!"

Ning Ci clearly remembered Akai's expression at that time. This man, who was always rough and nervous, could state to himself in a serious yet gentle tone. For him, he had done well enough.
"The Chunin exam is coming, which means that event is not far away."

It is no different from the memories from the future. The memories of the past are now beginning one by one. Neji, who once doubted the authenticity of this memory, no longer treats it as a joke.

Chunin exam, Orochimaru, Konoha collapse plan, big events are coming one by one, but are you ready?

Picking up the teacup, Ning Ci slowly sipped the green tea on his lips, letting the faint fragrance of tea permeate his mouth, Ning Ci questioned himself from the bottom of his heart.

……

At noon, Konoha Street is very lively with people coming and going.

Naruto Uzumaki, who has conspicuous blond hair, is staying with his classmate Sakura and three little ghosts from the ninja school. He has an embarrassed expression on his face, obviously speaking big words that dissatisfy Sakura next to him.

As for Sasuke, who was in the same class as them, he was nowhere to be seen at the moment.

On the other side, two men and a woman wearing forehead protection from a strange village are walking towards this side. One of the men's face is covered with purple camouflage, and a mysterious item wrapped in bandages is carried on his back. As for that The woman who was traveling with her had conspicuous blond hair, and she was slender with an exaggerated iron fan on her back.

Naruto and his party, who were making a noise, accidentally bumped into each other, causing quite a disturbance.

At this time, in Konoha's Hokage office, all the jonin in the village who are the instructors of the ninja have all appeared here.

One of the white-haired Kakashi was also appearing there with his hands in his pockets, and beside him were his old opponents, Konoha's blue beast Maitekai, the third Hokage sitting on the desk, Sarutobi Hitomi Zhan's gaze rested on Kakashi's body for a while, and then he scanned the surroundings, and saw that all the Jonin had reached the goal.

"There is only one purpose for calling you here this time, and that is that the time for the Chunin exam is approaching. What do you think as the mentor of the ninja?"

When Sandaime Hokage said this, another puff of smoke came out from the pipe next to his mouth,

"Has it reached this time..."

Hearing Hokage's words, Kakashi remembered that it was already this time, and looked around at the figures around him from the corner of his eye, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, these companions who were the same year as himself as the guide Jonin, with a tone of voice After a pause, he started talking again.

"Then let's start with me. Members of the seventh class, Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, take part in this Zhongnin exam in the name of Kakashi Hatake Hatake!"

Kakashi, who was untying the seal of the sum with his left hand, said his choice in a serious tone.

On the side, Kurenai Yuhi and Asma also announced their decision afterwards. Like Kakashi, they also chose to let themselves lead the ninja to participate in the Zhongnin exam.

"Don't you think about it? Unlike me leading the third class, the ninja you guide has just graduated from the ninja school for not too long. Would it be too careless to do so?"

Looking at the choices made by Kakashi and Asma, Akai who quietly watched this scene frowned and asked.

"Let them see the reality earlier, it is also an indispensable practice, and speaking of it, when I was promoted to the Chunin, I was six years earlier than the current Ninja!"

Looking back at Akai, Kakashi gave his own explanation.

"Those brats can't be compared with you, but if compared to talent, I have an outstanding guy in my name. If it is him, you will definitely be surprised!"

Although Akai was not dissatisfied with Kakashi's boastful words, he still acknowledged Kakashi's achievements, but he still mentioned his disciples.

"Oh, Akai, are you talking about the child who separated?"

Sitting on the chair, Sarutobi suddenly became interested in the guy Akai was talking about.

"As you can see, the growth of that child is absolutely astonishing to everyone here, and Kakashi, didn't you see the limit of that child last time?"

Having said that, Akai confidently looked at Kakashi's expression.

"No, you mean that child still has spare energy in that battle?"

Listening to Akai's boastful words, Kakashi's expression instantly became serious and stared at Akai in front of him.

"I can't say that, because the child's physical skills are not yet mature, so I told him not to use them when facing a strong enemy he is not sure about, but it can't be said that he is weak, it's just that the kind of skills he uses If it comes out, it will be a burden for him and his opponents."

When Akai said this, he seemed to think of something unbelievable, and his tone was full of exclamation.

"Oh, then I'll wait and see, I hope I won't be disappointed!"

Although Akai's occasional rough nerves made people feel a little uncomfortable, Kakashi didn't have any doubts about what he said, because this man was Kakashi's most trusted man to a certain extent.

"Okay, there's no need to argue anymore. According to the nine candidates who took the exam this time, I will let them take the mock exam first. If I am sure they are qualified, I will let them take it!"

Stretching out his hand to stop Iruka who was trying to say something in the back row, Hiruza Sarutobi saw Iruka's worry at a glance, and came up with a plan that satisfied everyone.

"Then it's decided. Chunin exams will start a week later, that is, on July [-]st. I hope everyone will inform your jinnin not to miss the exam time. Let's go!"

Taking a deep puff of the pipe until the tobacco in it was completely burnt out, the Third Hokage tapped the extinguished pipe with his hand, and quickly announced the result of the matter.

After listening, all the ninjas present left the office tacitly.

Holding the extinguished pipe in his right hand, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at Kakashi's comments on Neiji Hyuga sent not long ago on the table, and remembered the somewhat exaggerated words Akai described not long ago, which made Konoha Hokage, who was close to 70 years old, had a complicated expression on his face.

He was tapping the table slowly with one finger, and only a pair of enlightened eyes on his cheeks already covered with vicissitudes were looking thoughtfully at the report about Neji Hinata in his hand.

"Neiji Hinata...is he a child of Hinata?"

Saying this name in his mouth seemed to remind Sandai Hokage of something, and made him, who was nearly seventy years old, look sad and emotional.
