The Chūnin Exams jointly hosted by Konoha, Kumogakure, and Sunagakure were finally officially announced over the past two days.
The scale of this Chūnin Exam could be described as unprecedented. Previously, the largest exam in history had only been the joint exam held by Konoha and Kumogakure at the end of the First Great Ninja War.
This ti, however, three of the Five Great Ninja Villages were jointly organizing the exam. Such a massive event imdiately drew the attention of the entire shinobi world, and for a ti, forces from all sides turned their gaze toward Konoha.
As a result, Konoha beca livelier than ever before.
"Dad, the Ninja Academy is actually on break today! Why won't you go shopping with ?"
In the Gekko family courtyard, Rinne puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction as she shook her father's arm. Thankfully, Hoshiyomi was strong and thick-skinned—if it were anyone else, their whole arm might have been shaken clean off by now.
While signaling Ryūshin that today's training could stop, Hoshiyomi pulled his clingy little daughter into his arms with a slight headache. He gently rubbed the stubble on his chin against her soft cheek, tickling her so much that Rinne collapsed against him in giggles.
"Good girl, give your dad a break. These past couple of days are a special ti—it really isn't convenient to go out. You've heard about it at the Ninja Academy too, right? The joint Chūnin Exams between the three villages are about to begin. There are all kinds of people in Konoha these days.

"Alright then, I'll forgive you this ti, Dad. But after the Chūnin Exams are over, you have to go shopping with !"
Nearby, Ryūshin slowly sheathed his sword and shook his head helplessly at the sight.
His younger sister's clingy personality was really troubleso. Having such a not-so-bright little sister put a lot of pressure on him as an older brother.
Still, being clingy at ho was better than being one of those chunni kids at school. Hanabi aside—at least she still had so sense and only acted edgy around people she knew.
Konohamaru and his friends, though—that was a real headache. They had actually announced publicly that they'd ford sothing called the "Konohamaru Team." Just thinking about it was embarrassing.
He'd even learned so joke ninjutsu called the Sexy Technique from Naruto and used his tutor, Ebisu, as a test subject every day.
With seedlings like that, was Konoha's future really not sothing to worry about?
Just as Ryūshin stood there with dead fish eyes, lanting the future, Tsunade appeared out of nowhere and flicked him on the forehead.
"You, honestly—you're still so young, stop making that world-weary, worrying face. Really now, can't you show a bit of the innocence soone your age should have, like your sister?"
Covering his forehead, Ryūshin glanced at his sister, whose eyes had already turned into a comical ">
