Red sand dust

Shishio and Koji waited for a long time at Taifuyi, which is not far from the hot spring street, and finally saw Yuno.

"so slow!"

The expressionless Koji couldn't help but complain.

"Feel sorry!"

Yuno, who forgot about time while enjoying the beautiful hot springs in the Rising Sun Tower, had an apology on her face.

We agreed to have a dinner together to reward our compatriots who had recently finished their busy work and ushered in a rare short vacation.

As the leader, Yuno, who was in charge of the team's accounts and cash, was not there. The two of them sat there for a long time, unable to order food at will.

After skillfully calling the waiter and ordering a few popular delicacies, the group of people chatted about the upcoming Joint Chunin Examination.

After nearly two years of preparation, the resumption of the Chunin Exams has attracted the attention of many ninjas.

As losers in the Chunin exams two years ago, Yuno, Koji and Shishio obtained Chunin qualifications early because they chose the right followers, so there was no need to worry.

"With our strength, we may not be able to pass the selection for the Joint Chunin Examination..."

Zhi Zhixiong said calmly,

"The Chuunin Examination is not solely for the purpose of selecting outstanding genin and allowing them to be promoted! Of course, the ninja village needs to demonstrate its heritage, and powerful genin also need to perform well to win favor and obtain more training resources..."

"That's true!"

Koji nodded and echoed somewhat sourly,

"If Daimaru hadn't performed well two years ago, he wouldn't be where he is today!"

It was also an adventure, but Koji was eliminated because of a mistake, and he still feels bad about it to this day.

Competition is everywhere on the road to ninja. Once an opportunity is missed and the gap is widened, it will take even more effort to catch up.

"It's been so long and you still can't let go?"

Yuno smiled and shook her head,

"Our commander-in-chief didn't just seize the opportunity and soar into the sky. Kankuro, who has been following him for a long time, has not seen any great feats. His teammates, Yeme and Qian, also have many opportunities. Just a chuunin..."

Opportunities are important and must be fought for, but if you don't have the ability to seize opportunities, everything is in vain.

"I just don't understand. After so many years of genin life, I haven't seen him have any great abilities. How come taking a chuunin exam is like being favored by fate. Everything goes smoothly and everything goes wrong..."

As for Suna ninjas, fights are inevitable. Guys with a personality like Daimaru would throw punches whenever they disagreed, and there were many peers who turned against each other. Koji was one of the people who had never been convinced by Daimaru.

The biggest injustice in the world is that I am still unknown, and the backs of my competitors who once struggled together in the quagmire can no longer be seen.

"Build up your skills!"

Zhizhixiong shrugged and sucked up the juice drink in front of him.

"Some people are probably born to attack others! Besides..."

As if remembering something, Zhizhixiong couldn't help but sigh:

"Don't think that Qian and Yemu are nothing special just because they are so famous. Their true strength may be far stronger than ours!"

"Have you fought against them?"

Yuno asked with interest.

Zhi Zhixiong shook his head and replied:

"Guang Shi was transferred to the Shadow Guards. I have seen him take action..."

"how do you feel?"

"If I face the enemy head-on, I may not be able to survive three moves..."

That fleeting murderous intention and sharp sword light are terrifying when I think about it now.

"That is a true genius, an assassination master born for killing..."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Koji didn't believe it. Although his teammate Shishio had average head-on fighting ability, he was not defeated by an ordinary ninja.

"A person like this, before leaving the air combat unit, was actually defeated by Yemu. Even though the short girl who seemed a little shy and not intimidating at all was not very strict, she would be very powerful in a real fight..."

It's not that Yemu is good at disguise, that's her nature. She just doesn't have an accurate understanding of her own strength. She has been busy with the air combat unit training camp and doesn't have many combat cases to refer to.

Only students who have personally experienced her powerful skills know what this instructor is capable of.

The three of them were silent for a while before Yu Na sighed:

"Although we joined early, if we don't work hard, we will have no place in the future! Leman is highly regarded. The first batch of apprentices are now senior cadres. There are also several outstanding talents in Naruto Village. It is said that I am going to take part in this Chunin Exam..."

If you still want to follow Daimaru, you have to show your irreplaceable value, otherwise it will be embarrassing if someone catches up from behind.

As students of the Gravel Jonin under Fu Yi, Yuno, Koji and Shishio's status is actually a bit awkward.

"Let's not talk about this! I heard that there have been great changes in the village. Next time during the long vacation, let's go home and see how beautiful the legendary 'Dream Theater' is..."

Seeing that the emotions of the two teammates were not very high, Yuno changed the topic.

It's been a long time since I left home, and I really can't imagine what the Sunagakure Village is like with each passing day.

The three of them were talking, and sitting about ten meters away from them, Konoha Genin Team 10 happened to be having a dinner here.

After listening silently to the chatter of the three Suna ninjas for a long time, Yamanaka Ino whispered to Nara Shikamaru:

"They are talking about Daimaru's teammates. One is tall and the other is short. They have really distinctive features..."

"Um!"

Nara Shikamaru, who responded, also thought of the kunoichi who used the scent illusion technique in the third trial early selection, and both himself and himself were defeated and both retired.

"They are all chunin, and we still have to take the chuunin exam. It's so easy for Suna Ninja to get promoted!"

Yamanaka Ino complained a little unconvinced.

The scene of competing on the same stage is still vivid in my mind. Two years later, I don't know whether the gap in strength has been widened, but the gap in level has definitely been widened.

"There are both gains and losses in being promoted early! The powerful seeds are gone. If Suna Ninja does not have a backup force to make up for it, the performance of this joint chuunin exam may not be very good..."

"You guys..."

Akimichi Choji, who was focused on destroying the barbecue in front of him, reminded,

"Today is my birthday party, can't you say something to make me happy? The last chuunin exam was really unpleasant..."

"Chouji, your birthday is on the first of next month. Because I have other important matters, I celebrated it in advance..."

Ino Yamanaka unceremoniously revealed the truth,

"By the way, why aren't Teacher Asuma here yet? Who will pay the bill later?"

The "financier" had already spent so much before he arrived, and he didn't know whether the belated bearded man's wallet could still hold on.

"I heard that a messenger from the Suna Ninja has come over. There may be something urgent that may have delayed the delay..."
