Chapter 55: The Nakashinobi Exam

"The middle ninja exam is the main way for ninjas to be promoted to middle ninja, and in peacetime, it is generally twice a year, once at the end of June and early July, and once at the end of the year, and it is often a multinational joint exam......

"Generally speaking, in peacetime, there is one of the two exams a year that is particularly competitive, with a very high elimination rate and frequent deaths and injuries, so the number of participants is small."

"This kind of more cruel middle ninja exam is commonly known as the 'gladiatorial arena', which is the epitome of disputes between countries, and has a strong political and diplomatic significance, so the candidates who go to the end are often more likely to grow into the upper ninja, and most of the lower ninjas with better strength tend to participate in this kind of 'gladiatorial arena'." Mumu Changye said slowly.

"You should have a certain understanding of these situations in the peacetime ninja exam."

After a pause, he continued: "And during the war, the middle ninja exam was only once a year, and the date was uncertain...... The process before the wartime shinobi exam is basically the same as usual, but it is much simpler, and killing is strictly prohibited in the death forest link, once discovered, the exam will be disqualified, and the worst will be regarded as a mutiny. ”

Ebisu couldn't help but say, "In this way, wouldn't the wartime shinobi exam be very safe?" Even if they don't pass, their lives won't be in danger. ”

"Nope." Mume Nagaye shook his head, "It seems to be like this, but it is not. Because the main examination hall of the wartime ninja exam is neither a classroom nor a forest of death, but in the ...... Battlefield! ”

"Battlefield?"

"Yes, the wartime ninja exam will only be pre-selected for the third exam at most, and the real third exam will be conducted on the battlefield."

"In short, those who pass the first two exams and pre-selections can only obtain the status of a middle ninja if they pass the test of war again."

Ignorant Genma asked, "......What exactly is the test of war?"

"Complete a certain number of war missions." "The standard during the Second Shinobi War was 20 C-rank war missions and 10 B-rank war missions, so if nothing else, this time it should be about the same. ”

Ebisu's eyes widened: "30 missions, so many?" ”

Kime Nagaye smiled and said, "The counting of war missions is different from that of ordinary tasks, and if you complete it once, you will remember it at least twice or more. ”

"So actually, you should only need to do it about ten times."

I don't know what Huo Genma seems to have in mind: "The benefits of the wartime mid-ninja exam that Mr. Changye just mentioned should be related to this method of counting, right?" ”

Mumu Nagaye nodded: "That's right." ”

"In principle, only by becoming a middle ninja can you be eligible to participate in S-class and A-class missions, as well as lead B-class missions. The number of S-level and A-level tasks completed is a key indicator for promotion to Shangninja, and it is also an important reference for measuring ninja qualifications. ”

Mu Mu Nagaye then said slowly: "Therefore, taking and passing this wartime mid-ninja exam will allow you to make fuller use of the next war period and quickly accumulate the number of high-level tasks to facilitate future promotion and development." ”

He paused: "Of course, the disadvantages are obvious. With the strength of the three of you, it should be easy to pass the middle ninja exam, but after passing, you will inevitably face a stronger and more dangerous enemy than before......"

"Now, what are you going to choose?"

The three of them looked at each other, and their faces quickly showed a little firmness: "Teacher, we chose to take the exam." ”

"Okay." Mumu Changye nodded and said with a smile, "I'll report your names in the afternoon." ”

"The written exam will be held at the Ninja School at 9 a.m. on April 2nd, and there are still a few days left, so let's hurry up and learn something."

Subsequently, Kime Nagaye explained some theoretical knowledge to the three of them, and then separated into a shadow clone and led Akai and Ebisu to practice chakra control and illusion respectively.

Ignorant Fire Genma began to practice his first B-rank Fire Escape Ninjutsu, Fire Escape Fire Dragon Flame Bomb.

Kimu Nagaye is not a fire escape ninja, and he can't teach much fire escape things, but fortunately, this ninjutsu is recorded in his father's notes, and it doesn't hurt for him to teach himself.

The "Fire Escape: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet" is almost the most practical one of the B-grade Fire Escape Ninjutsu, with moderate chakra consumption, high flame temperature, and attacks from the left, front, and right directions, making it difficult for enemies to dodge.

Even at the level of the three generations of Hokage, this ninjutsu is often used in battle.

It can be said that the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is a necessary ninjutsu for every Fire Escape ninja.

As a B-level ninjutsu, the difficulty of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet is still relatively high, which is obviously a lot higher than that of C-level ninjutsu.

After practicing all morning, I don't know that Huo Xuanjian has not been able to practice half a point, not to mention the fork of the fire path, and even the minimum temperature and scale cannot be reached.

It seems that it is really as he expected, with his current level, it will take at least a month to master a B-level ninjutsu.

In a few days, the ninth group was not only resting, but also intense study and training.

I don't know that the fire dragon flame bullet in the fire genre is not progressing quickly, and Akai's chakra control skill is even more so.

Even though Akai has focused almost all of his energy on chakra control, he still can't walk smoothly on the water, and he will fall into the water if he moves a little bigger.

Among the three, Ebisu has made a breakthrough in illusion, barely mastering a simple illusion attack, and finally has a bit of his own "fighting style", and he doesn't have to fight hard throughout the battle.

A few days passed in a flash.

During this time, the Land of the Wind issued an ultimatum to the Land of Fire, claiming that if the Land of Fire did not hand over the reparations and the body of Sayun Hagi, it would officially declare war.

In this regard, the Fire Nation no longer made any representations, so naturally, the two great powers entered a state of complete hostility.

A large-scale war is on the verge of breaking out, and the tension of the war is becoming more and more prominent.

From the gradually busy scene of Konoha Hospital, you can vaguely see the current situation trend.

Fire Country, April 2, 643.

It's past eight o'clock in the morning.

The lower ninja who participated in the wartime ninja exam, including some ninjas from other countries, came to the Konoha Ninja School with their own documents, and the three of them were naturally among them.

Entering the examination room, you must send out the papers, and the start time of the exam is approaching soon.

I don't know that the main invigilator of the examination room where Huo Genma is located is a young man with a white and square face, who is particularly forbearing, and his expression is meticulous.

In the quiet classroom, he glanced around, coughed twice for a while, and said solemnly: "Finally, I emphasize the discipline again, no one should try to cheat such a stupid behavior." Once cheating is discovered, the whole group will be dealt with with zero points! ”

Two minutes later, the bell rang.

"Exam begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the classroom burst into the sound of writing.
