Chapter 30: First Place in the Exam, Orochimaru Attacks?
🕑 Added 2024-08-17 06:30:47 +0000 UTCThe purpose of this Chunin Exam was to showcase the Hidden Cloud Village's strength and to gauge the current state of the Hidden Leaf Village!
Now that Uchiha Akira had made such a powerful move, the Hidden Cloud Village had a clear understanding of the strength Konoha possessed.
Truly, Konoha was a cradle of geniuses! A six-year-old child who had already unlocked the two-tomoe Sharingan and possessed the strength of a Chunin!
With their objective achieved, the Hidden Cloud Village had no reason to continue the confrontation.
News of Uchiha Akira's abilities quickly spread throughout the Hidden Cloud Village.
Naturally, the other ninjas from the villages participating in the Chunin Exam also took note of this information.
The Uchiha and Senju clans were the two great noble ninja families that stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world during the Warring States period!
Now that the Senju clan had declined, all eyes were on the Uchiha clan!
The Hidden Cloud Village invited only four other villages to participate in the Chunin Exams: the Hidden Sand Village of the Land of Wind, the Hidden Mist Village of the Land of Water, the Hidden Stone Village of the Land of Earth, and the Hidden Leaf Village of the Land of Fire!
As for smaller villages like the Hidden Waterfall Village or the Hidden Star Village?
Sorry, the Raikage didn’t even consider them!
Including the Hidden Cloud Village’s own team, there were three Genin from each of the five great ninja villages. The scale of the exam wasn’t large.
But because of this, each participant was an elite!
The Hidden Cloud Village, known for its swift and decisive actions, didn’t waste much time. The competition began quickly!
The fifteen ninjas competed in a point-based system, starting with individual battles.
Then, the five great ninja villages engaged in a team battle.
There were only seven spots available to be promoted to Chunin!
Thus, the entire exam in the Hidden Cloud Village was completed in just two days.
Compared to the Chunin Exams that Naruto and his friends participated in during the original story, this exam was much smaller in scale and duration!
However, none of these so-called geniuses had any particularly outstanding performances in the original story.
Uchiha Akira, with his Chunin-level chakra, S-rank Body Flicker Technique, and two-tomoe Sharingan, completely outclassed the other Genin in terms of basic stats, bloodline limit, and skills.
With Kokai deliberately holding back, Uchiha Akira, at just six years old, won the individual championship!
Next was the team battle.
The Konoha trio, with Kokai officially labeled as a Genin but possessing the strength of a Jonin, excelled in the Water Release techniques of the Second Hokage, the Shadow Shuriken Jutsu of the Third Hokage, as well as swordsmanship, genjutsu, and more!
On the second day of the team battle, Konoha once again took the lead!
Thus, the Konoha trio, led by Uchiha Akira, secured the top spot in the exam, earning the title of Chunin!
The Chunin Exam itself wasn’t particularly remarkable; it didn’t even involve any significant characters from the original story. It ended just like that!
Afterward, Uchiha Akira and his team left the Hidden Cloud Village and headed back to the Hidden Leaf Village!
Their journey back was relatively peaceful.
Seeing that they were a Konoha ninja squad, no one dared to cause trouble on the road!
“Although traveling all the way to the Hidden Cloud Village wasted a month, officially becoming a Chunin means I can now take on B-rank missions, right?”
“Sharpening the knife doesn’t delay the woodcutting. B-rank missions usually involve battles between ninjas and come with rewards in the tens of thousands of ryo!”
“And with just over half a year left until the Uchiha Clan Downfall, I have a good opportunity to grow stronger!”
As they traveled back to the Hidden Leaf Village, Uchiha Akira quietly mused to himself.
Originally, this journey should have been uneventful.
But as luck would have it, they stumbled upon a group of rogue ninjas raiding a small village on their way back!
Even though they were still within the borders of the Land of Lightning, Uchiha Akira couldn’t just stand by and do nothing once he saw what was happening.
So, he stepped in and took out the rogue ninjas!
These so-called rogue ninjas had only learned some basic jutsu, like the Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, and basic swordsmanship.
They were no match for a fully trained ninja!
After dealing with the rogue ninjas, Uchiha Akira searched their belongings and couldn't help but think to himself how poor they were!
Three rogue ninjas, and all they had was a combined total of 19,000 ryo!
But then again, if they weren’t so poor, they wouldn’t have resorted to raiding a small village, right?
After all, how much wealth could a small village possibly have?
With 19,000 ryo added to the few thousand ryo Uchiha Akira already had, he now had over 20,000 ryo!
Time for another round of life simulation!
Without wasting any time, as the text appeared before his eyes, Uchiha Akira immediately began a new round of life simulation!
【You ranked first in the Chunin Exam, and your name as a genius spread across the Five Great Ninja Nations!】
【On your way back to the Hidden Leaf Village, you were attacked by Orochimaru and died!】
