Naruto: Long Live Hokage's

Chapter 116: Jonin's Test

Time passed, and it had been a month since the first time the Gentle Fist skill appeared in Masahiko's bar status.

Soft Boxing: LV3 (61000/100000)

“Progresnya quite fast, and not affected by age at all, although I do not practice every day.”

During this time, Masahiko seemed more like an old man who practiced Tai Chi in his previous life. He would wake up early and practice his routine twice, then he would feel very comfortable.

“Unfortunately, I think when I improve my Soft Boxing Skills, I will be able to learn my own secret moves. Turns out I was naive, or did I not reach the required level?”

Looking at the twins in front of Masahiko, who was practicing Gentle Fist, Masahiko smiled and said, “Did your grandfather already talk to you about the skill level you need to achieve before learning the secret of Hyuga Ninjutsu?”

The two looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Masahiko sighed; it seemed like the twins had not been taught anything.

Looking up at the sky, it was almost dark…

“It has been a month and a half since I came to Konoha. When will they choose the next Hokage? Shit, why is it so hard to get witness points?” Masahiko sighed while waving at the twins.

Seeing them walk away, Masahiko felt that this month and a half was a waste of time. He did grow stronger due to the slight progress from the Gentle Fist training, but Masahiko could not bear to wait any longer.

Masahiko was too lazy to go to the Hokage's office, so he just waited for Tobirama to come home.

Perhaps it was because of the Task Review Office that Masahiko had set up before, or perhaps because the war had ended, after all, Hokage did not have much to do lately. Therefore, the sun had not fully set yet, but Tobirama had already returned home.

“Tobirama, get here.”

Masahiko hasn't been out much lately, and he found another use of his LV8 Wind Element, which can accurately convey his voice for a certain distance and emit it into the ears of others.

Tobirama froze for a moment, she could not see him anywhere, but it seemed like Masahiko was calling out to her.

“Second grandfather, are you looking for me?”

Masahiko nodded, “I've been here for over a month, haven't you already decided who will be the next Hokage?”

“I can't decide this myself. I've also considered your advice, so two years from now, we'll have an election. ” Tobirama reply

Masahiko's face turned pale. Despite finally deciding not to support Danzo, it seems like Masahiko will have to wait another two years.

“It is very difficult to get witness points lately.” Masahiko sighed and planned to return to Uzumaki Village first. Otherwise, he would probably become a kindergarten teacher in Konoha.

All the big clans in Konoha heard that Masahiko received two of Hyuga's children as his students, so they are now trying to offer some of their children as well.

“If that's the case, then I will go back first and wait until the selection.” Masahiko shook his head and said.

Tobirama quickly replied, “You will go so fast?”

“Ah, yes, if I stay any longer, I will open a private Kindergarten class in Konoha.”

Tobirama smiled awkwardly, “I've also heard of it. You have accepted two boys from the Hyuga Clan as your disciples, right?”

“No, this is just to get through these boring times. By the way, you should consider learning the Soft Boxing technique. Suitable for parents..”.

“Old man?” Tobirama gave a bitter sigh.

Masahiko surprised, “Fun?”

Tobirama then took out a scroll from his sleeve and gave it to Masahiko. The scroll was an announcement for the Jonin Joint Exam!

“Is there such a thing? I would understand if it was a joint Chunin Examination between villages, but weren't Jonin usually chosen by their performance and the completion of various difficult tasks? ”

Tobirama nodded, “Yes, originally they were evaluated by the Hokage, but in the last two years, we were unable to produce a good Shinobi due to lack of duty, and war ..”

Masahiko shook his head, “The war has just ended, and you've tried to scare the other villages? But are you sure Konoha will win this test? Their Shinobi had also been furious in battle. There may be about 30 to 40 years of Shinobi who never get a promotion but always participate in battles, enemies like this will be the most difficult to face.”

“No problem, Grandpa, we have two leading candidates, who have been taught by Hiruzen. They just need to be a little stronger, then they will be ready next year for the test.”

“Only two?” Masahiko.

“Orochimaru has been Jonin not long ago.” Speaking of this, Tobirama shook his head with regret.

“So only Tsunade and Jiraiya? They will be 16 years old next year, can you confirm their win? ”

Tobirama looked around, then whispered, “Well, the exam will be held in Konoha, so maybe we can prepare something first. I hope you will stay and help. ”

Masahiko flinched, and then he smiled helplessly, “So, you mean…? Cheating?”

Tobirama shook his head, “No, we will just add a small insurance. I think we should promote a certain Genin to Chunin rank, then let him participate in this exam, just to make sure that one of us will be the winner .. “

“Wait, why do you do that ?!” Masahiko flinched again, “Maito Dai?” Masahiko has also met Kenichiro and his ‘paman’ several times, lately. The man was 18 years old but he looked like he was 30 years old. Kenichiro said that Dai could never pass the written test because of the many questions about the basic knowledge of cells that Tobirama had added.

Tobirama nodded, “Yes, it seems like you already know about him. If it wasn't for your student, Kenichiro, I would never have noticed.”

“Yes, this is counted as some ‘insurance...’ then, which country will you invite?” Masahiko nodded, expressing his interest.

“Yeah, I invited Sunagakure, Kirigakure, Yugakure, Amegakure..” Tobirama list many villages.

“This is a lot of villages!”

“Not all of them will agree, but a fixed invitation is required. In short, except Komogakure and Iwagakure, I will send invitations to everyone, and the time will be determined on March 25.” replied Tobirama.

“Well, you're not lying. This will be fun. I also want Uzumaki to participate. Before the exam, I will return to the clan, and look for some talented youngsters to promote them to Jonin. ” Masahiko replied with a smile.

Tobirama nodded without any objection.

“So, you'll be busy, Tobirama. But this Grandpa is a little excited, tell me more! What will the test be like? How many rounds?”

“There will be two rounds. The first is a written test to see how they handle unexpected emergencies during the test. The second was an actual battle assessment, and a comprehensive evaluation. For now, the jury is me and the Kage or elders from the main participating villages.”

“Excellent!” Masahiko looked enthusiastic. “I remember that I had done a written test before for the selection of my three students. I miss those days so much..”.

Tobirama was a little hesitant but had no choice to look at Masahiko's sad expression, “Second Grandpa, I will ask you to help work on the first half problems, but.. don't make it too difficult for the kids.”

“You've seen your Grandpa's work before, you can rest assured!”

Tobirama sighed and suddenly started to regret saying this.
