Konoha's Tag-System Ninja

Chapter 47: Konoha’s Youngest Ch?nin!

Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Konoha's Youngest Ch?nin!

In the forest where the third exam was taking place, the two teams stood about ten meters apart, facing each other. The proctor glanced at the two prepared teams and then stepped back. "Begin!"

At the sound of the command, both sides launched their attacks simultaneously.

Sh?ichi Hoshita pretended to form two hand seals and immediately unleashed a barrage of fireballs from his mouth, covering everyone in flames.

Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique

The speed at which he released the jutsu caught Y?jin Uchiha and his team off guard. They had assumed that Sh?ichi was solely focused on close combat.

Their formation was instantly disrupted, forcing all three to dodge in different directions.

Taking advantage of the distraction, Kurama Sany? quickly cast a genjutsu that ensnared everyone except Y?jin.

However, with an Uchiha on their team, his teammates were well-versed in handling genjutsu, even if they weren't experts themselves.

In the blink of an eye, they broke free from the genjutsu and charged at Kurama Sany?.

Three against one in close combat—Kurama Sany? was swiftly kicked away.

But by then, Sh?ichi had already completed his preparations for the Dance of the Crescent Moon.

He drew his sword and dashed forward—three against two!

In a flash, two figures were sent flying and collapsed unconscious without a sound.

Having dealt with their opponents, Sh?ichi and Kurama Sany? turned to the other side of the battlefield.

Uchiha Shisui and Y?jin Uchiha were locked in a fierce duel, their weapons clashing with sparks flying everywhere.

Seeing that Sh?ichi and Kurama had defeated their opponents, a smile appeared in Shisui's eyes. "Looks like I need to hurry up..."

Seizing the moment, Shisui stepped back, sheathed his sword, and then formed hand seals: Body Flicker Technique!

His body split into multiple images as he began circling Y?jin Uchiha at high speed, creating more and more afterimages.

"Shadow clones?"

Y?jin threw shuriken to test, only to find they passed through the images. "Afterimages? Genjutsu?"

Suddenly, several Shisuis attacked at once.

Clang, clang, clang!

Y?jin swung his long sword and kunai to fend them off, shocked at the realization. "They're all solid attacks!"

Before he could unravel the technique, Shisui appeared behind him and struck him unconscious with a swift chop.

Done. Mission complete!

The proctor announced, "Minato's team wins!"

...

Outside the exam area, Minato Namikaze watched as Sh?ichi Hoshita and his teammates walked out. He smiled and said, "Well done. Lunch is on me, a little early celebration."

The four of them left in high spirits, while the other teams continued their battles.

That afternoon, instead of heading to train with Tsunade after lunch, Sh?ichi stayed with Minato and the others, waiting in front of the Hokage building for the Ch?nin Exam results.

It happened to be the weekend, so people like Shizune, Guy, Kurenai, and Asuma were also gathered there, waiting for the news.

At 3 PM, the list of newly promoted ch?nin was posted.

As expected, Sh?ichi Hoshita, Shisui Uchiha, and Kurama Sany? were on the list.

In total, only five people had been promoted to ch?nin.

"Sh?ichi, you're now the youngest ch?nin in Konoha!" Kurama Sany? exclaimed excitedly, looking at the names on the list.

This statement immediately caught the attention of those around them.

"The youngest?"

"Sh?ichi Hoshita... he just graduated this year!"

"Wait, I remember a guy who graduated at five—could it be him?"

"No, the five-year-old graduate is the son of the White Fang."

...

The chatter around them grew louder, and Kurama Sany?, proud of the attention, added, "Sh?ichi isn't even seven yet!"

"Amazing!"

"Becoming a ch?nin before seven!"

"How did he manage that?"

"I saw his match yesterday—his speed is incredible! He took down his opponent in one move, and it was against an Uchiha who had activated his Sharingan."

As the discussions grew, many of the female ninjas gathered there looked at Sh?ichi with sparkling eyes.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Sh?ichi quickly pulled Kurama Sany? along and headed into the Hokage building.

Ten minutes later.

After receiving their ch?nin vests, Sh?ichi and his teammates exited the Hokage building and said their goodbyes to Minato. Sh?ichi then walked over to where Shizune and the others were waiting.

"Congratulations on your promotion to ch?nin, Sh?ichi!"

"The youngest ch?nin—maybe even in the entire ninja world!"

"You're incredible, Sh?ichi! Truly amazing!"

Everyone around him chimed in with their congratulations.

...

"Just as expected from Sh?ichi, he's always so popular wherever he goes."

Kurama Sany? looked at Sh?ichi Hoshita with admiration.

Shisui Uchiha smiled, "Outstanding people always attract attention."

Minato Namikaze, however, noticed Shizune beside Sh?ichi and couldn't help but think of Kushina Uzumaki. He smiled and said, "Shisui and Sany? must also have girls who like them, right?"

Kurama Sany? blushed and immediately ran away.

Shisui Uchiha remained calm and composed, "I don't have a girl I like at the moment, but it seems that Minato-sensei already does and is quite eager about it!"

Minato Namikaze, slightly embarrassed, chuckled, "Since you already know, I'll leave you to it."

He patted Shisui on the shoulder and vanished.

...

After arranging to practice with Shizune and the others at 5 PM, Sh?ichi headed toward Konoha Hospital.

He had made plans with Tsunade to continue their training today.

But just a few steps out, Sh?ichi saw a figure smiling warmly as she waited for him.

"Sister Tenka!"

Sh?ichi hurried over.

"Congratulations on your promotion to ch?nin, Sh?ichi, and becoming the youngest ch?nin in Konoha's history."

Tenka, with a radiant smile, slightly bent down and handed over the prepared gift.

"Thank you!"

Sh?ichi expressed his gratitude as he took the gift with both hands.

A jutsu scroll?

Sh?ichi didn't open it immediately. He chatted with Tenka as they walked, and only when they reached Konoha Hospital did Tenka give Sh?ichi a hug and turn to leave.

As Sh?ichi watched Tenka leave and was about to turn around, he heard a voice: "It seems your charm with women is quite impressive!"

Turning around, Sh?ichi calmly replied, "If Tsunade-sama didn't hit me, that statement would be more convincing!"

Tsunade smirked and said sternly, "That won't do. Training must be taken seriously."

Sh?ichi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Tsunade's smile grew a bit warmer as she waved her hand, "Let's get started!"

The real training began!

...

About an hour later, Sh?ichi lay exhausted on the ground. Not far away, Tsunade was leaning on her thighs, panting heavily, sweat pouring down her forehead. "This kid is really something."

"Exceptional reaction speed, high concentration, and faster recovery than ordinary people... He's truly a natural-born ninja."

Catching her breath, Tsunade stepped forward, "Hey, can you still continue?"

Lying on the ground, Sh?ichi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He had already consumed two soldier pills.

"Lady Tsunade, I'm not even seven years old yet!"

(T/N: Totally child abuse, Should I call the FBI here?)

Sh?ichi emphasized.

Tsunade snorted, "On the battlefield, enemies won't care if you're not yet seven."

(T/N: In bedroom, people do care woman!)

Her expression softened as she said, "Well, that's it for today."

"Oh, and congratulations on becoming a ch?nin—the youngest ch?nin since Konoha was established!"

Sh?ichi got up from the ground and extended his hand to Tsunade.

Tsunade paused for a moment.

Sh?ichi said, "Shouldn't Lady Tsunade have prepared a congratulatory gift?"

Tsunade's face darkened, "Let's talk about that when you become a j?nin!"

With that, she turned and walked away, her high heels clicking as she went.
