Naruto: Chronicles of a Fire Ninja - Chapter 333

Chapter 333: Chapter 329: Finally everyone is chunin
It would not be an understatement to say that Kaida was eagerly waiting for this news. Finally, he could resume many of his plans, but that letter was not the end of the good news either.

“Also, Yomi is going to take her Chunin exam tomorrow,” Shisui said, patting her head.

“Really? Did you revise your syllabus? What about the geography and political theory? You said you wanted more time for that,” Kaida asked.

“It has already been one week from that time. I have already completed the syllabus twice. Now that the exam could be taken after so long, I don’t want to wait and miss this chance. Otherwise, I would have to wait for who knows how long once again,” Yomi said.

“If you are prepared, then there is no need to wait anyway. I was just a little worried,” Kaida said.

“I know! Oh, and Ryota asked me to tell you that he will be taking his Chunin exam with me as well, so you two will be in the same rank once again. I think he will be a ‘little’ shocked hearing the news of your latest promotion,” Yomi chuckled.

“Oh, I should be the one to share this wonderful news with my friend then,” Kaida said, sharing the chuckle with Yomi.

“You don’t have time for that, young man. Your promotion will also take place in 1 week; you should also prepare for that,” Shisui said.

“But I don’t have any test to take. You know this is a reward, a reward from Hokage himself,” Kaida said with a smile.

“I know what it is, but I don’t want others to think of you as some brute who got this position from just power alone, so here.” Shisui passed chakra into the storage seal.

poof

Suddenly, tens of books appeared in front of him and Kaida.

“You have to complete all of them in one week. You better start now,” Shisui said.

“One week is too much for such a small task,” Kaida said with a smirk. Even though there was no reason for him to study all this, there was also no reason for not doing it.

With things settled, there was no need for him to invest too much of his time in the hospital. He was just sending a clone there now anyway, and his training in jutsu was going smoothly. So most of his time was free anyway. Because of this, it was actually better to read everything necessary to become a Jonin than regret it later.

“You will be brain dead if you used Shadow Clone to learn all this in one day,” Shisui said.

“Even if I used this?” Kaida asked, taking out a medicine he got by spending almost 150,000 Ryo per capsule. But it was all worth it because of the single effect of the medicine:

Increase in Mental Capacity

Don’t get it wrong—it doesn’t make you smart, just increases the capacity of your brain to process things at a faster rate and at higher load capacity.

“I know it is a good medicine, but it is too expensive to use it for something like this,” Shisui said, sighing seeing his brother spending so much so easily while he had to consider so much when he was at his age.

“I know, brother. I was just kidding. I am going to take my time and learn all this slowly,” Kaida said. With the medicine, he could easily make 100-plus shadow clones and each of them learning a book while helping each other understand it as well, completing the task in just one day.

But even without the pill, making forty shadow clones for this purpose was not hard. Any more than that would increase the headache too much, and headache is one of the worst kinds of pain, which one would usually avoid if they can.

…

(Next day)

“Hello Kaida, where were you for so long?” woof woof

“Hey there, buddy,” Kaida gently patted Kiba’s head, who was almost as big as a normal dog now, and it was still not an adult.

“I was busy saving lives, not like certain someone who couldn’t find time to meet this friend,” Kaida turned to Ryota.

“In my defense, when I tried to find you, I got 20 different locations and even all of them were busy.”

“Yeah, last couple of months have been really tiring.”

“You don’t know, man. I had to go on one mission after another with various teams. Luckily, I got a rest of 1 month, but my dad got me three tutors for this exam. I really am exhausted beyond belief. After all this, I am going to take a long break and go camping,” Ryota said with a big smile.

“Count me in,” Kaida added.

“The exam will start in 15 minutes!” Yomi shouted from the front of the gate.

“Best of luck, both of you,” Kaida said with a smile.

“Thanks!”

…

(After 5 hours)

“Who the hell asks about the relation between Tanigakure and Shimogakure? They are not even close to each other!” Ryota cried on his way out of the exam hall.

“Yeah, but they had a history of war, and there is no new news of their alliance, so we could conclude that they are enemies,” Yomi said while trying to remember other questions.

“Man, I don’t know if I will pass this or not,” Ryota sighed.

Woof woof came the voice of Kiba from under the tree where he and Kaida were waiting for Ryota and Yomi.

“How were your tests?” Kaida asked.

“It was fine. I think I will pass,” Yomi said with a smile.

“Man, I wish I could say the same thing, but I can’t. If I fail this test, my old man will kill me. He had invested so much for this exam.”

“You are taking too much tension, Ryota. You can always take this exam in 6 months,” Kaida said. smack

“I am sure you will pass, don’t worry,” Yomi said after giving Kaida a smack on his head.

“Oh! Yeah, you will definitely pass,” Kaida corrected his words.

“Yeah, we will find out soon anyway,” Ryota said with a shrug, because in just 10 minutes, a ninja came out of the center and pasted a list on the board.

“I don’t wanna check. Kaida, just check it out for me,” Ryota said, sitting with Kiba in the shade of the tree.

Kaida nodded and went with Yomi to check the scores. Out of 200 who had taken the exam, only 30 passed. Yomi was third in the list; first two spots were taken by Nara ninjas, while Kaida kept on searching, and at last, at 30th position was Ryota’s name.

“Bro, you passed! Barely, but you passed!” Kaida said with so much enthusiasm that one might think he was the one who passed. But before they could celebrate, one more announcement was made.

“Those who have passed the first round, go to Training Area 12. You will have your second round there. As for those who didn’t, just practice a little more and you will be able to clear it in the next attempt,” the examiner said and went back.

“Let’s go then. Celebration can wait till you guys become Chunin,” Kaida said, and three of them left for the Training Area.

The test was relatively simple: they just had to fight a Jonin and show some elemental attacks. Both Ryota and Yomi were able to do that easily.

And as for sparring with a Jonin, there was no need to win, of course. They just had to show how they would do against a foe stronger than them, and after the test, both of them came with smiles on their faces.

“We are Chunin finally!” Ryota said with joy in his voice. Both of his parents were ninja and were out for the mission, so he could only share this happiness with his friends.

“Great, all of us can be Chunin for at least 5 days together,” Kaida said.

“Yes… wait a minute, what do you mean 5 days?” Ryota took a second to process Kaida’s words.

“Oh, you don’t know? I am going to become a Jonin in 5 days. It was a reward promised to me by Lord Third if we did great in the Chunin exam in Kumogakure,” Kaida said with a smirk.

“You son of a beep! I worked my ass off to finally become a Chunin to catch up to you, and now you are skipping a whole level of elite Chunin and directly becoming a Jonin? How is that fair?” Ryota cried.

“Life is not fair, child,” Kaida said with a sage-like expression.

“Put these wise words up your—”

“Why don’t we go and celebrate our promotion than focusing on little things?” Yomi stopped Ryota in the middle and dragged them to the nearby restaurant.
