Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is July of the 42nd year of Konoha.
Hoshita Shuichi's special training at the Root also came to an end. He took off his battle robe and mask and left the Root without any hesitation.
He didn't like this place. It was cold and emotionless.
"The positioning of the roots is like his base, which is not exposed to sunlight all year round and is hidden in darkness."
"The Root did make a lot of contributions to Konoha in secret, but it's a pity that Danzo is too ambitious and he also offended me..."
Looking back at the root entrance, Hoshita Shuichi jumped and disappeared.
Hokage Building, Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hoshita Shuichi who came to report on his work and said, "Before you officially join the Anbu directly under the Hokage, Shuichi, you should complete this task first!"
As he handed over a document, Hoshita Shuichi stepped forward and took it with both hands. After glancing at it, he was a little surprised: "Chunin Examiner?"
"Third Hokage, this..."
"Isn't this a bad idea? I'm only 9 years old after all."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "But you are already a special jonin of Konoha."
"You are also a role model for those children."
"Go ahead, I believe in you!"
What else could Hoshita Shuichi say? He nodded immediately: "Yes, Third Hokage, I won't let you down!"
After receiving the order and leaving the Hokage building, Hoshita Shuichi looked at the documents in his hand carefully again, then smiled: "Kakashi should participate again this year, right?"
"It seems quite interesting."
"Then Sarutobi Asuma and the others' expressions when they see me will probably be quite interesting, right?"
On July 18, the 42nd year of Konoha, the annual Chunin Examination began again.
Because the application for the examination is in the form of a team, Kakashi, who had already been promoted to a Chunin, also entered the examination room again with Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin.
In the examination room, Kakashi and Nohara Rin had already sat in their seats, but Nohara Rin kept looking back and observing.
Kakashi noticed Nohara Rin's actions and said to himself, "Isn't that guy going to be late again for this kind of occasion?"
"But even if he wasn't late, he probably wouldn't have been able to pass the exam, right?"
Time passed by little by little, and just when the exam time was about to end, a figure rushed into the examination room.
When Nohara Rin saw the panting Uchiha Obito, she immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the examiner appeared, handed out the test papers, and the exam began.
After getting the test paper, Kakashi just glanced at it and then began to write quickly.
This level of difficulty, even after several years, still does not pose any problem to him.
"But that guy should be very distressed now, right?"
Under the mask, Kakashi unconsciously revealed a smile.
And in the back, at this moment Uchiha Obito was looking at the questions on the test paper, and he was so crazy that he almost broke the pen in his hand.
"hateful!"
"Why do I have to take this kind of exam to become a ninja? Forget about the graduation exam. I'm already a formal Genin now!"
"Shouldn't it be a test of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu?"
Uchiha Obito subconsciously put aside the Three Body Technique, which he was least good at.
Time passed little by little, and the only sounds in the classroom were the rustling of noses against the test papers and the sound of Uchiha Obito's inner madness.
Suddenly, Uchiha Obito looked up and saw a cocky guy leaving the examination room with a haughty look on his face.
Just when he was feeling distressed and crazy, Uchiha Obito looked down and saw a ball of paper rolling at his feet.
He looked up at Nohara Rin's back in front of him, then looked at the examiner who was not paying attention to this side, and immediately picked up the paper ball and started copying frantically.
Outside the examination room, Kakashi just walked out when he heard a voice: "Kakashi, how does it feel to be back in the examination room?"
Kakashi turned around and saw Hoshita Shuichi leaning against a lamp post with a smile on his face: "Aren't you going to join the Anbu?"
Hoshita Shuichi chuckled: "People are not machines. They always need to rest."
"I'm in the growth stage now, working too hard won't be good for my development."
Kakashi almost rolled his eyes when he heard this. In the whole of Konoha, except for that guy Gai, who works harder than you?
Seeing Kakashi speechless, Hoshita Shuichi laughed and asked, "Your Lightning Release is almost developed, right? Show it to me?"
Kakashi nodded: "It has been preliminarily completed."
The next moment, the two disappeared from where they were.
At the foot of the cliff, Hoshita Shuichi looked at Kakashi who had drawn his sword.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of electric friction like the cry of a thousand birds, the short sword in Kakashi's hand burst into dazzling blue electric light.
Hoshita Shuichi narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "Very amazing lightning chakra, Kakashi, what is the name of this technique?"
Kakashi said: "Chidori Sword!"
The smile on Hoshita Shuichi's face became even wider.
Due to his interference, Chidori Sword was born before Chidori.
However, both Chidori Sword and Chidori are of A-level difficulty. As for the power, it depends on the individual's chakra output and the strength of the mastery of the nature change.
"Let's try out its power first!"
Hoshita Shuichi did not draw his sword, but took out a kunai, then opened his mouth and blew it. A layer of white wind chakra enveloped the kunai and extended it a little.
"start!"
Seeing that Hoshita Shuichi was ready, Kakashi immediately growled and rushed forward.
Hoshita Shuichi also shot out immediately, and the next moment the two bodies collided with each other, and the kunai and short swords collided, with neither being evenly matched.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed, but he knew he was still a little short of it.
Because he was using the White Fang short sword given to him by his father, which was a chakra sword made of fine material, while Hoshita Shuichi was using an ordinary kunai.
Exerting Force from their feet, the two began an intensive and rapid confrontation.
Suddenly, a brighter light appeared in front of Hoshita Shuichi's eyes, and blue electric currents burst out from Kakashi's body.
The next moment, Kakashi's speed increased dramatically.
Both reaction speed and attack speed have been greatly improved.
Good job Kakashi, he hid it so well!
However, Hoshita Shuichi still handled it easily, he didn't even turn on his concentration.
His nerve reaction speed and thinking speed still have advantages over the current Kakashi.
So he didn't even use the Fire Instant Body.
The only thing that troubled him was that the electric current bursting from Kakashi's body interfered with him.
This technique can not only activate Kakashi's cells to a certain extent, but also has a defensive effect.
So, the wind Sword in Hoshita Shuichi's hand extended again, and it suddenly turned from a short weapon into a long weapon.
The two continued to fight until 2 minutes later.
In this situation, no one can do anything to anyone else.
Sitting down to rest, Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "Congratulations, Kakashi, for developing two A-level lightning ninjutsu."
Kakashi shook his head: "Chidori Style can only be said to be a derivative ninjutsu of Chidori Sword, and its effect on cell activation is extremely limited. It is far inferior to the AB combination of Kumo Ninja."
Hoshita Shuichi burst out laughing: "Kakashi, you are not even 9 years old yet!"
"And the Cloud Ninja's Lightning Chakra Mode has taken several generations to achieve its current state."
"Just talking about the AB combination, that Killer Bee is only a few years younger than Minato-sensei, but much older than us."
"Besides, our Konoha's reserves of lightning jutsu are far inferior to those of the Kumo ninja. You have created it from scratch, which is already very remarkable."
After being praised, the somewhat arrogant Kakashi felt a little embarrassed: "Having said that, the gap is still huge."
Even compared to you!
Kakashi added in his mind.
Hoshita Shuichi changed the topic and asked, "These two techniques are relatively complete. Are there any new development directions for Lightning Release next?"
Kakashi nodded, "I've thought about it, and Minato-sensei has given some advice."
"The first thing is to be able to perform Chidori with bare hands, in case you can't perform this move without a sword."
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "You have already developed the Chidori Style, so the difficulty of performing it with one hand lies in the high concentration of chakra."
"However, if there is no sword, the strength of the property change is not enough, and the amount of chakra is not enough, it will require high-speed thrusts to have the piercing ability of the Chidori Sword if it is performed simply with the hand."
"Of course, with Chidori-style skills, speed won't be a problem for you."
"However..."
Hoshita Shuichi changed the subject and pointed at Kakashi's eyes: "The speed is too fast, and your eyes will not be able to accurately capture the enemy's movements. This will be a big flaw."
Kakashi is not like him. His nerve reaction speed and thinking speed are super fast, so fast that he has the same dynamic vision as the Sharingan.
Hoshita Shuichi's ability has been continuously improving, and now his dynamic vision is no worse than Uchiha Shisui's three-magatama Sharingan.
Of course, there is no comparison in terms of insight.
Kakashi nodded solemnly: "Minato-sensei has made the same analysis."
"So on the one hand, I need to further deepen my practice of changing the nature of lightning release, and on the other hand, I need to train my eyesight."
"Just improve on your previous method."
Hoshita Shuichi thought about it and smiled, "Is it changing from dodging the plasticine to dodging other plasticines and then catching the plasticine of a specified color?"
Kakashi nodded: "Yes."
This is actually about training your eyes and hands to be quick.
Hoshita Shuichi thought about it and it seemed that this was the only way he could look.
It seems that ordinary people only have one way to go, which is training, although there is a clear upper limit.
but.
After thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi said: "Another direction is to further develop Chidori Style."
"But if you go too deep, it will be quite dangerous. It requires extremely difficult chakra control abilities."
"The human body's nerves are very fragile."
Kakashi understood what Hoshita Shuichi meant, which was to use Lightning Release to enhance the reaction speed of the visual nerves and even the brain nerves, thereby improving vision.
But if you try this kind of thing wrongly, you will end up blinding your eyes and burning your brain into a pulp.
"That's the last one."
Hoshita Shuichi stood up and said with a smile: "Come on, let's continue."
"Before, I was just testing the power of your technique. Next time, I will use a faster speed to help you better adapt to this high-speed attack rhythm."
"A lot of combat experience can also reduce flaws, and it can also train your eyes."
Kakashi immediately stood up: "Shuichi, show us your full strength!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and said: "That depends on your ability, Kakashi."
The battle started again!
Hoshita Shuichi still used wind escape and kunai, but his nerve reaction and brain were fully activated, and he suppressed Kakashi with his sword skills and reaction speed.
A fight lasts one or two minutes, and then continues after a break.
In the third game, Hoshita Shuichi used Lotus Steps, which increased his speed dramatically and made Kakashi very embarrassed.
If it weren't for the Chidori Style, they would probably be defeated quickly.
The whole morning passed like this.
In the afternoon, Hoshita Shuichi went to Orochimaru's experimental base and did not return home until very late.
Soon, on July 24, the third round of the Chunin Examination began.
In the indoor examination room, when Hoshita Shuichi entered the examination room, Might Gai, Kakashi, Uchiha Obito, Sarutobi Asuma, KurenaiHot Springshi, Nohara Rin and others gathered around.
Might Gai shouted, "Shuichi, you must be here to cheer me on!"
Hoshita Shuichi smiled and nodded: "Of course, Gai!"
"I believe you can be promoted."
If it doesn't work, then you're not working hard enough!
While chatting with everyone, Hoshita Shuichi's eyes quickly caught sight of several other figures.
The green leaves of the mountain city are similar...
These ones are all older than him.
I didn't see them the last time Hoshita Shuichi took part in the Chunin exam.
There is also Gai's teammate Genma Shiranui, who is actually older than both him and Kakashi.
At this time, a bell rang in the venue, and the names of the Genin participating in the assessment began to scroll on the electronic display screen.
"It's about to begin!"
"It's finally started, I can't wait!"
The originally noisy sound gradually disappeared.
Hoshita Shuichi used a teleportation technique to leave the stands where Kakashi and others were and appeared in the center of the field below.
Then, under the surprised, shocked, and dazed gazes of Gai, Kakashi, and other friends, he spoke loudly: "I am the special jounin, Hoshita Shuichi, the examiner of the third round of the Chunin Exam."
Gurgle!
Uchiha Obito swallowed his saliva, a little unbelievable: "How is it possible?"
"This guy Shuichi, when did he become a special jonin?"
Might Gai also scratched his head in confusion, he didn't know about this either, but then he smiled and said, "With Shuichi's strength, it's normal for him to become a special jonin."
"You're right, Kakashi!"
Might Gai's blood boiled as he spoke: "As expected of my lifelong rival. It seems I need to work harder in the future!"
There are many people who find it as unbelievable as Uchiha Obito.
"It's incredible!"
"A special jonin at this age!"
"Shuichi-kun seems to be only 9 years old. He should be the youngest special jonin in Konoha, right?"
The examination room, which had originally been quiet, was once again filled with discussions.
Hoshita Shuichi was very satisfied with the appearance, but his face was very serious, and he shouted: "Quiet!"
In an instant, the examination room became quiet.
Hoshita Shuichi glanced at the electronic screen and said, "Please invite Uchiha Obito and Might Gai to play!"
In the stands, Might Gai and Uchiha Obito jumped down together and stood in front of Hoshita Shuichi.
Uchiha Obito looked at Might Gai across from him, made a thumbs-down gesture, and said with great momentum: "Gai, I'm going to settle the score with you last time."
Might Gai was a little confused after hearing this, and he touched his chin and said, "Last time?"
Uchiha Obito staggered and went crazy: This guy, he has totally forgotten what happened just a few days ago!
In the last team battle, he was knocked out by Gai because his throat was blocked by a lollipop given by an old lady and he failed to perform the Great Fireball Technique in time. Today he wants to get back at Kai.
Looking at the two funny guys, Hoshita Shuichi barely maintained his dignity as an examiner and did not laugh out loud.
At this time, Nohara Rin's voice came from the stands: "Obito, come on!"
Uchiha Obito was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Nohara Rin waving his arms. Suddenly, a red cloud appeared on his face and he smiled.
Hoshita Shuichi looked at it and couldn't help but sigh: "Who can resist this gentle and sweet voice?"
Uchiha Obito raised his fist towards Nohara Rin: "Rin, just watch!"
Hoshita Shuichi kindly reminded: "Obito, get ready!"
Uchiha Obito turned around quickly after hearing this.
Hoshita Shuichi raised the red flag in his hand and waved it down: "Start!"
Uchiha Obito immediately stepped back and formed a seal, but before he could finish the seal, Might Gai kicked down.
Bang!
Uchiha Obito was kicked hard, his goggles flew off, and he fell to the ground with snot and saliva flowing.
