Naruto: My Progress in Konoha

Ding-ling-ling~

A quick bell rang.

Qingming woke up from his dream and looked up. He saw more than a dozen Konoha ninjas coming in from the door, and the leader was holding a file bag.

The word "top secret" was clearly written on it.

So, it was self-evident what was inside.

Obviously, this was the first written test of the Chunin Exam.

There were no fancy test items later. After the jonin examiner reassigned their seats, he opened the file bag and handed out the test papers.

During the period, he only emphasized that cheating was not allowed, and nothing else was said.

Qingming got the test paper and scanned it roughly. The difficulty of the test questions was average. As long as the theoretical knowledge was not bad, it should not be difficult to pass.

But just passing is definitely not enough, and you should get as high a score as you can.

Thinking of this in his heart, Qingming immediately concentrated and began to answer the questions seriously.

As for cheating

Since the other party did not make it difficult for them on the test questions, then the "no cheating" in their mouths really means that cheating is not allowed.

Of course, if they can hide it from the eyes of the invigilator, there should be no problem.

But Qingming does not need to do this. With his current knowledge reserves, he is enough to get a good score.

In this case, there is no need to make trouble.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the test time was halfway through, a voice suddenly broke the silence in the classroom.

"No. 45, you can go."

Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw an invigilator standing up by the window, and then walked towards a candidate in the middle of the classroom.

The other party's face was pale at this time, and he obviously knew what he had done wrong. He pinched the edge of the table with both hands, struggled for a while, and still walked out of the classroom silently.

Seeing this, the invigilator sat back in his seat.

Qingming could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the classroom was much more depressed.

However

'What does this have to do with me? '

Muttering in his heart, Qingming retracted his sight and started his own journey of answering questions again.

After that, four more cheaters were caught, and the first written test was finally over.

When the bell rang, everyone was asked to sit still and wait for the senior ninja examiner to take away all the test papers before everyone was allowed to disperse.

According to the test process, the test results will be announced at noon today.

At that time, those who passed the written test will participate in the second comprehensive ability assessment.

Before that, everyone can move freely.

Qingming stayed up all night yesterday and rushed to take the test this morning. Now that he has time, he naturally has to make up for his sleep.

After sleeping for two hours, when Qingming returned to the ninja school, the test results had been posted.

Without any surprises, he passed the written test smoothly.

In addition, there are 59 people on the list.

Qingming roughly calculated that the pass rate of the first round is about 50%, which is not much, nor less than in previous years.

Obviously, the village did not let the water go in the first stage.

Then the difficulty of the second stage should not be too high.

As for the reason

It's very simple. Konoha needs manpower now, especially the backbone.

If the difficulty of the assessment is too high, and only one or two Chunin are produced at a time, how can the needs of the front line be met?

So, the second assessment will definitely not be so strict.

As for the problem of insufficient strength.

On the battlefield, as long as you can survive, you are an elite.

As for how many people will die due to insufficient strength during the period, this is not within the consideration of Konoha's top leaders.

From beginning to end, they only care about whether they can win the war.

Others are not important.

Shaking his head secretly, Qingming no longer thought about it, and turned to the 44th training ground, also known as the "Death Forest".

Yes, the second exam is in the Death Forest.

As a dangerous place in Konoha Village, the Death Forest is about 20 kilometers in diameter, with a high tower in the center, a circle of barbed wire on the outside, and forests, lakes and rivers in the middle.

Because of its unique ecological environment, the Death Forest is full of poisonous insects, beasts and miasma, which is very suitable for testing the comprehensive quality of ninjas.

Therefore, this place has become the most commonly used Chunin exam venue in Konoha.

This time is no exception.

More than ten minutes later.

Qingming came to the outside of the ‘Forest of Death’.

At this time, there were more than two hours before the exam started, but many candidates had already gathered here.

They were either in groups of three or two, or standing alone, but no one spoke, just quietly waiting for the exam to begin.

Qingming understood this very well.

Which of the ninjas present did not come down from the battlefield? Who did not have a relative or friend who died on the battlefield? They had agreed to become Chunin together, but now they are alone. It would be strange if they were in a good mood?

Even Qingming, standing here at this time, couldn't help but think of Mizutani Shizuko and Ryosuke in his heart, let alone others?

After sorting out his mood, Qingming came to a corner, then sat cross-legged, and began to refine chakra with his eyes closed.

With the improvement of basic attributes, the shackles of the body were opened. Qingming now runs the ‘Chakra Refining Technique’ to not only restore chakra, but also increase the chakra limit.

Just as he guessed when his ‘Chakra Extraction Technique’ was advanced to level 4.

Now, every hour of running the ‘Chakra Refining Technique’ can increase his chakra limit by 16 points, which is doubled compared to lv3.

In this way, practicing for eight hours a day at the maximum level can allow him to obtain 128 points of chakra limit.

According to his previous estimate, if the chakra limit is increased by 5,000 points this time, it will take about 40 days for him to realize all his potential.

This is the benefit of a high level of ‘Chakra Refining Technique’.

The only pity is that the ‘Chakra Refining Technique’ needs more than 1,400 points of proficiency to upgrade from lv4 to Lv5.

At his current rate of accumulating proficiency, it will take about half a year to advance.

This time is too long!

Otherwise, it is also a good way to ‘open source’ internally.

According to the effect of the previous lv3 to lv4, once his ‘Chakra Refining Technique’ is upgraded from lv4 to Lv5, it will inevitably increase the amount of chakra he can use every day.

Moreover, this number will not be less than 1,300 points.

‘Hey! What a pity'

With a sigh, Qingming stopped thinking and focused on practicing.

Time passed by, and more and more candidates gathered here.

About an hour before the exam, the sixty Genin who passed the written test came here.

Only then did the venue become a little more noisy.

People were either talking to each other or asking about other people's information. In short, the scene was much more lively.

During this period, Qingming heard his name being mentioned several times, and he would feel the gazes of others from time to time, but he ignored them.

Knowing what's the use of his information, in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is a joke.

So, Qingming didn't care about them observing him at all.
