It was close to nine o'clock in the morning, but there was a strange atmosphere in the Konoha mission hall. Although the process is the same as usual, Inuzuka always feels that something is wrong with these foreign ninjas.

In the end, a middle ninja said that something was wrong, "There are some Konoha ninjas who came to receive the mission today......"

After hearing this, Inuzuka suddenly came to his senses, that's right, there are indeed many fewer Konoha ninjas than in the past, especially the lower ninja.

In times of non-war, the attire of different levels of Konoha ninjas is different. Both the middle and upper ninja have fixed clothing, Konoha forehead guards, green vests, and dark green tight-fitting linings, which are the daily standard accessories. The lower ninjas are much more casual, generally based on simple short shirts. It is said that this ninja costume was promoted by Mirai Yamamoto in order to create a style that is characteristic of Konoha ninja living alone. Not to mention, now as soon as the Konoha ninja walks out, he can be known at a glance without taking care of his forehead.

I don't know why I bought these unique outfits, but a character like Mirai Yamamoto certainly wouldn't do nothing. That's what Inuzuka and others think.

Near noon, it was finally Inuzuka's turn to take on the task.

Walking into the reception room, six Konoha Nakashinobi were combing through their business. After seeing the three of Inuzuka coming, a middle shinobi said, "Inuzuka team, what type of mission are you going to undertake this time?" As he spoke, he looked at the scroll in his hand.

"Is there a mission like an escort?" Inuzuka asked.

"Hmm......" Shinobu said after some searching, "There is only one mission to escort gold at the moment, but this level has reached the B level. The three of you are not qualified to take on this task......"

"Eh, didn't you say a month ago that we, ninjas from outside the village, could take on high-level missions? Why are you ...... now?" asked the clansman next to Inuzuka strangely.

"Even so, but you're just three shinobi, and it's impossible to let you three imps go on B-level missions!" Konoha Nakaya replied directly.

"......" Inuzuka and the three of them were helplessly silent. Although Konoha Shinobi rudely rejected the three, the three did not have any grudges, after all, in Konoha's regulations, ninjas at the lower ninja level do not have the right to perform tasks above level B, and this rule is also valid for Konoha ninjas. After taking on a C-Class mission to deliver classified documents, the trio left the mission hall.

Outside the mission hall, the three of them arrive at a restaurant where they will rest.

Today's restaurant is as lively as usual, and ninjas from all ethnic groups, as well as ninjas from Konoha Honmura, are eating lunch peacefully.

Eating the lunch in front of him, the conversation of the Konoha ninja at the next table attracted Inuzuka's attention.

"The middle ninja exam is about to begin......

"Today is the day of registration, and some children who think they have the strength should go and sign up......

"I've heard that more than 100 people have signed up since the morning......

"The middle ninja exam?" After Inuzuka listened, his mind was full of question marks, "Is it the exam for the promotion of the middle ninja?" ”

……

Konoha Village Complex, Conference Room.

"It is expected that 128 people will take the exam this time, and the general setting of the exam is the same as last year's. The preparations are ready...... "A special shinobi in charge of the matter reported to everyone present.

After the ninja's report, everyone stopped looking at the future, which had been silent.

"Guys," Mirai began, "you say...... How about inviting the lower ninja of the Fire Country ninja clan to participate? ”

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked, they didn't know why they had such thoughts in the future, and they couldn't keep up with the pace of thinking in the future.

"My lord, why do you have such an idea?" Chiba Yamahara asked curiously.

"I thought about showing the strength of our Konoha through the middle ninja exam, so that the world could see our strength, so that our follow-up plans could develop better." Said Future.

"It's a good idea to extend the Shinobi exam from the village to the world, so that it can increase Konoha's prestige."

"But when the time comes, what should we do if Konoha doesn't perform well? In that case, Konoha's image will definitely be damaged......"

"This is indeed a problem...... "The crowd fell silent.

"It's okay," Mirai said with a smile, "everyone should have faith in our next generation." There aren't many opportunities to compete with various ninja ninjas, and it's good for their growth......"

"Besides, Konoha's image is not affected by a middle ninja exam!"

Hearing the words of the future, a sense of pride rose in the hearts of everyone present.

In the afternoon of the same day, Konoha's messenger traveled to various places in the Land of Fire with an invitation to the Nakashinobi exam.

Sarutobi, Hinata, Shimura, Inuzuka, Oil Girl, Yamanaka, Ino, Nara...... Even the Uchiha and Senju received an invitation.

"What does that guy want to do in the future?" Senju looked at the invitation on the table and thought.

"Chunin Exam...... Last December, Yamamoto Mirai held an open ninja exam in Konoha for the first time, which was the first time in the ninja world," said Senju on the side, "This time, many ninjas from the Fire Country were invited to participate, do you want to show your prestige?" ”

"Who knows...... Senju Tsuruma smiled, "but this Chunin exam is really a good idea......

"Big brother means to accept the invitation?" Senju frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, this is also a good opportunity to gather information about Konoha and other ninjas. ”

……

Konoha Village, complex.

"My lord, Thousand Hands has replied, and they will send three people from their clan to take the exam!"

"A thousand hands are here, so there are six ninjas who are sure to accept the invitation......" The future secretly calculated, six ninjas, it is already a good start.

"Inform the Zhongnin exam team and let them prepare for the placement of candidates. There is also an internal screening of the village's contestants, and the number of participants is determined to be less than 100. Future said in a deep voice, "Remember, the lower shinobi who took the middle ninja exam is someone who already has the strength of the middle ninja." ”

"Yes!" The visitor hurriedly responded, and then went to arrange the matter.

Glancing at the departing figure, Future smiled bitterly, "Alas, I'm really still worried about Konoha's ninjas......"

At the end of May, the middle ninja exam is finally about to kick off, and each of the invited ninjas has sent their shinobi to Konoha one after another. In addition to Shimura and Yaume, others such as Sarutobi, Hinata, Inuzuka, Yamanaka, Ino, Nara, Uchiha, and Senju all sent one to five squads to take the exam.

On June 1st, the Zhongnin exam began. A total of 135 people participated in the middle ninja exam this time, including 78 in Konoha.

The first is a test of the ninjas' intelligence-gathering skills and basic judgment as a captain. After the first exam, eighty percent of those who passed were brushed down were defeated in a multiple-choice question.

"When the team encounters a major crisis, only one person can be left to attract foreign enemies to ensure that the mission is completed. Please choose which member will stay behind? ”

The pass rate of eighty percent surprised the future and others, and they originally thought that they would brush down a large number of lower forbearances, but they didn't expect it......

"Hehe, the existence of the ninja clan really has his reason, and their cohesion is not comparable to that of the ninja village...... " Guan Qiao's future sighed.

For the ninja clan, their teammates are all their relatives, and they have a deep blood relationship, and their awareness of personal sacrifice is much stronger than that of the ninjas in the Ninja Village era.

After the first exam, it was the second battle of life and death.
