Chapter 64: Chunin Exam

"Minato, you're finally back."

Before Minato Namikaze spoke, Jiraiya greeted him, "Today's training doesn't seem to be going well..."

The reason for this is that Minato Namikaze, who had just returned from Myoboku Mountain, was wearing a tight blue combat uniform that looked worn out in many places, and he looked a little embarrassed.

For a Kage-level ninja, this doesn't look like he's returning from training, but more like he's returning from a battle...

"Uh, Jiraiya-sensei? Lady Tsunade."

The white mist in the office gradually dissipated, and Minato Namikaze looked in the direction of the voice and soon found the two people who had been waiting there.

After hesitating for a while, Minato Namikaze also realized his own attire, and was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly put on the Hokage robe hanging on the hanger in the office, and then said apologetically, "Sorry, something did happen, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

Tsunade was about to take over and talk about her own things.

But Jiraiya got ahead of her and asked again: "I said that training is indeed difficult..."

"Your current level of completion has long surpassed me, but if you want to reach the extreme, I'm afraid the difficulty will be beyond imagination."

Minato Namikaze smiled helplessly, scratched his hair, and did not refute.

After all, as far as it can be seen, what Jiraiya said is also true.

"What are you talking about? What kind of training is the fourth generation doing?" Tsunade asked curiously.

"It's the fairy art training in Myoboku Mountain."

Jiraiya touched his chin and answered seriously.

After the Nine-Tails incident, Jiraiya can be regarded as the person who knows the most secrets of the village.

The sealing of the Nine-Tails was completed by him personally. Only Minato Namikaze and he knew that the Uchiha clan had a Mangekyō. After hearing that his disciple wanted to develop the power of the tailed beast, he spared no effort to help.

It was precisely because of the existence of this reliable teacher that Minato Namikaze asked him to help unlock the five elements seal on his body a while ago.

In the world of Naruto, although there are many examples of betraying teachers and destroying ancestors, sometimes the relationship between teachers and apprentices is the most reliable.

After the five elements seal on Minato Namikaze was unlocked, he finally became cautious.

In the subsequent training, he only stopped at a moderate level.

He never dared to consume chakra excessively and put himself into a state of exhaustion...

Since then, he has also changed his training goals, planning to practice his own fairy arts to the extreme first, and then continue to practice the Myojinmon.

After Jiraiya learned about his training goals, he suggested that he go to Myoboku Mountain.

Because there is a specialty called toad oil in Myoboku Mountain, it can sense and absorb fairy energy faster, and the natural energy in the holy land is extremely rich, so no matter from which aspect, it is the most unique and excellent place for training.

However, Myoboku Mountain is very far from Konoha, and it will take at least a month to walk there.

If Minato Namikaze was an ordinary ninja, he could easily apply for a long-term mission outside, or go out for a tour and practice when there was no war in the village and the mission was not tight.

But unfortunately, as a Hokage, he could not leave his post without permission. Even if there was a shadow clone working, the main body did not dare to leave too far.

In this case, there was a method of using the reverse summoning technique to go back and forth between the two places every day.

During this period, before he went out every morning, he first used the shadow clone to stay at the Hokage post, and then the main body went to Myoboku Mountain to practice, and then rushed back on time at 6 pm. Minato Namikaze has been practicing this regularly for more than a week.

"So it's the practice of fairy arts..." Tsunade suddenly realized.

Then, she looked at Minato Namikaze with a little more admiration.

The three holy places all have their own different fairy arts. As a contractor of the Wet Bone Forest, she naturally knows this kind of practice.

But not everyone can use the immortal arts perfectly. At least she tried the immortal arts training in the Wet Bone Forest, but finally gave up because it was too difficult.

"Okay, let's talk about business first..." After the small talk, Tsunade said anxiously: "In the past two weeks, I have reorganized the entire medical department of Konoha, and have a general understanding of the overall level of all medical ninjas and medical staff."

"It's hard to imagine that the current medical level of Konoha has not improved at all compared to when I left a few years ago..."

"It's really embarrassing. If this continues, Konoha, which took the lead in establishing the medical ninja system, will sooner or later be overtaken by other villages in terms of medical level..."

As she spoke, Tsunade seemed to be angry, with a look of disappointment.

It can be imagined that before leaving the medical department, Tsunade, who no one in Konoha dared to provoke, was furious.

Feeling deeply sympathetic to the members of the medical department, Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya looked at each other in bewilderment.

The medical ninja system in the ninja village was the first system created during the second generation. Since the emergence of Konoha, villages in various countries have also followed suit.

But even if they follow suit, the medical level of other ninja villages is still not comparable to Konoha.

After all, Tsunade, who is known as the medical saint, belongs to Konoha.

The medical department under her leadership has greatly reduced the casualties of the village in several ninja world wars.

However, Tsunade, who leads the medical department, is actually a strict person at work.

Almost all the medical staff and ninjas in the medical department were trembling in fear when facing her, fearing that they would make mistakes and be punished.

Apparently, Tsunade, who had not seen the village for several years, once she returned to the medical department, used her high standards and strict eyes to examine the shortcomings of the current slow progress of the medical department.

"...Then, Master Tsunade, do you have any good proposals?" asked Minato Namikaze humbly.

"Of course, I heard that the village is about to hold an internal Chunin exam, so I want to apply to select some qualified medical ninjas from this batch of new Chunins to inject fresh blood into the medical department." Tsunade's eyes were firm.

She stared at Minato Namikaze steadily, and her decisive and strong aura spread.

"No problem, Master Tsunade might as well come to the scene to watch the battle in person..." Minato Namikaze had no objection.

The Chunin exam within Konoha in a few days was held to supplement the large number of Chunin lost in the village during the Nine-tail Rebellion. As for the promotion of Jonin, it had been carried out not long ago.

Minato Namikaze was also looking forward to this internal Chunin exam.

Chunin and Genin were the cornerstone of the village, and he also wanted to see how many potential ninjas could be discovered through this internal Chunin exam.
