Konoha's Itachi Reappearance

Chapter 601 The true meaning of the assessment

596 chapter

"Of course it's here to test you."

Quan smiled and answered Naruto's question, but in the eyes she looked at the three children in front of her, besides joy, there was also some small shock.

In fact, according to Minato's Chunin exam rules, as long as the ninja who participated in the exam can see that something is wrong before Izumi touches the flag with his hand, they will be considered to have passed.

As for the fight, for the ninja who participated in this test, it is really difficult for them to fight against the ninja now.

But Quan was surprised by the quick response of Sai, Naruto, and Hinata. If the encirclement formed by the three joined forces, if it was replaced by other jounin in the village, most of them would be forced to panic.

Especially Naruto, who is the strongest among the three, the speed of the instant body technique he used just now is even a bit faster than most jounin's instant body speed.

As expected of the son of the golden glitter
But Sai and Hinata are definitely not weak.

Their ninja team teamed up, and the average Jonin couldn't handle it at all. Even the current Quan, without using Sharingan, might not be able to win easily.

However, even though Izumi had explained, Naruto still looked astonished.

Naruto scratched his head, looked at Quan, and asked doubtfully, "What's going on?"

"Doesn't it mean that as long as there are no other members of the ninja team within [-] meters of the flag before the end of the second day?"

"Uh"

Facing Naruto's question, Izumi's forehead was slightly sweaty.

But she chuckled immediately, thinking in her heart: "It really is Naruto."

Apart from Naruto's parents, Izumi was one of the few people who knew Naruto the best, so even though Naruto had passed the final test, he still didn't understand what the real content of the test was.

That's not surprising at all for Naruto.
At the same time, another part of the Death Forest.

Before a flag.

Jun Malu held a white bone spur in his hand, and pointed to a slightly shorter Konoha ninja in front of him, his face was tense, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

"Hey!"

The eyes of Sasuke next to him were also shaking, and in the blood-red eyes, two black hook jades slowly rotated.

He held a handful of kunai in his backhand, and placed it in front of him, his eyes guarded.

Only Sakura was still a little dazed, she didn't understand why Kimaro and Sasuke suddenly showed their defensive posture to the jounin in their village.

"What do you want to do?"

Sasuke lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the Konoha ninja, and said in a low voice, "The Chunin exam shouldn't be over so easily, right?"

From the moment the man in front of him appeared, Sasuke felt a little strange.

The bell from the tower in the center of the Death Forest just now should have told those who took the exam that the exam was over.

But immediately after that, someone came out and announced this kind of information to them, which is really weird.

And this person is about to approach the flag guarded by Sasuke and others.

Junmaro thought the same as Sasuke, so the two immediately put on guard.

"Ha ha."

Facing Sasuke's questioning, the man didn't answer, but just smiled slightly.

"You've really grown up, Sasuke."

The man looked at Sasuke with joyful eyes and an extremely gentle tone.

Hearing this all-too-familiar tone, even though the person in front of him was completely unfamiliar, Sasuke subconsciously called out.

"elder brother?"

As soon as he made a sound, the man's transformation technique in front of him was immediately released, and he returned to his original appearance.

Since it is a ferret.

Jun Malu put down the bone spur in his hand, and at the same time, the solemn look on his face gradually disappeared. Only then did he understand why he felt a huge sense of oppression.

Because the man in front of him was not something he could defeat at all.

"Teacher Itachi?"

Sakura also immediately recognized Itachi who had changed back to her original appearance. Although she is a member of Kakashiban, regardless of Itachi's current reputation in Konoha and Ninja World, how could it be possible not to know her with her love for Sasuke? Sasuke's most respected brother.

"It turns out that this is the final content of the Chunin exam."

And when she came back to her senses, with the girl's clever mind, she immediately understood why Itachi would appear in front of the three after using the transformation.

The first bell from the central tower of the Death Forest was a smoke bomb released to make the ninjas who thought they had passed the exam relax their vigilance.

If Sasuke and Junmaro hadn't stood in front of Itachi-sensei and allowed him to approach the flag smoothly, I'm afraid they would have failed the assessment even if they had managed to make sure that there were no members of the ninja team within [-] meters of the flag.

Fortunately, they finally passed the assessment smoothly.

The Chunin Exam should be really over by now!
Sakura couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and her frowning brows relaxed.

"First of all, congratulations on passing the exam, you did very well."

Itachi said: "So, you have now officially become Konoha's Chunin."

There was a look of joy on Sakura's face, but the expressions of Junmaro and Sasuke did not change in any way.

Instead, the brows of both of them gradually wrinkled.

The reason is simple. According to the rules of the old village, it should be announced by Hokage himself that they passed the exam and became Chunin.

Sure enough, Itachi's conversation changed immediately, and he said in a low voice: "But for you, becoming a Chunin at this time may not be completely considered a good thing."

Hearing Itachi's words, the smile on Sakura's face faded instantly.

Now that they have come to this point, of course the girl also understands what she needs to face next after becoming a Chunin.

Although she had tried her best to prepare mentally, she was still young after all.

War is a huge meat grinder. For a child of Sakura's age, the war came suddenly, and she was about to participate in it, it was a bit premature.
When people face unknown things beyond their control, they will feel inexplicable fear in their hearts.

Sasuke is no exception to this.

Junmaro was born in the Kaguya clan who make a living by fighting, so he can keep calm.

"You will all be incorporated into the upcoming ninja coalition, become one of them, and welcome the war"

Itachi said with a solemn expression, although Hokage thinks that Sasuke and these children are qualified to participate in the war, if they fail to pass the Chunin exam, they will only die in vain if they go to the battlefield.

That's why Minato designed such unexpected exam rules.

The probability of an accident in a real war is much greater than this kind of test.

"War is a field full of surprises. On the battlefield, keen vigilance is more important than one's own strength. I hope you can all remember this firmly."

At this time, Itachi is not Sasuke's elder brother, but a Jonin of Konoha, earnestly admonishing these children who have never participated in the war.

In fact, even Itachi himself has never experienced a ninja war.

But that's the way war is, and it will never happen again for anyone to be ready for everything.

Therefore, in addition to considering whether candidates have the courage and strength to face the war, the last part of the assessment is the most important!
