Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 16: Chunin Exam

Konoha.

Hokage Office.

"You mean, they suddenly fainted" asked Sarutobi looking at the Anbu who reported him of the situation earlier.

"Yes! Lord Hokage I searched around, but I couldn't find who did it" replied the Anbu his voice mixed with disappointment.

"No need to worry, you tried your best, keep up the hard work" Sarutobi encouraged the depressed Anbu with a kind smile making the depressed Anbu liven up once again who then left the room even more determined to perform his duties.

As soon as the Anbu left, the smile on his face faded replaced by a frown.

"Kozuki... why in every event there's a shadow of you" Sarutobi arrived by the window looking at the Great Hokage faces thinking of Kozuki.

The Anbu told him the whole matter so he knew that Kozuki with his teammates was there.

When he heard that they fainted suddenly, he remembered the situation that occurred two years ago outside White Fang house.

Today's situation was similar to that 2 years ago, Sarutobi believed that the matter two years ago was done by the same person as today.

"No matter who you are, you can't hide for long" Sarutobi finally denied of Kozuki being the culprit since no one could believe that a child could make two Jonin Uchiha unable to fight.

6 months later.

Deep inside a forest that stretched out for miles.

Puff...

"It's done" said Kurenai as she pulled out the Kunai from the bandit's heart as the bandit fell down obviously dead his blood dying the ground red her face calm not affected by the bloody sight.

"I'm done here" a voice sounded behind Kurenai as Kozuki stood behind holding a Sand Village headband.

"Finally we can go home" Shizune arrived also as behind her lay two cold corpses.

It's been 6 months since the three of them had graduated from the Academy.

After doing a full month of D rank missions, they started performing high level missions.

During this time, they performed 4 C level and one B level mission.

Both Kurenai and Shizune also had to face the truth of Ninja World.

After there first kill, they quickly got used to it since they could only kill if they wanted to survive in the Ninja World.

"Your teamwork has improved" Shinku arrived who had hidden himself nearby watching them perform the mission.

"I have gotten better, right? Father" said Kurenai to her father.

"All three of you have improved significantly" Complimented Shinku as he had seen the growth of three.

"Kozuki, you are Amazing you defeated the Jonin Rogue Ninja all by yourself" Shizune arrived beside Kozuki looking at him with worship in her eyes.

"Shizune did well also" said Kozuki as he patted her head and Shizune got closer with a happy expression on her face.

"Humph..."

An angry voice sounded Kozuki as he saw Kurenai looking at them with an angry expression.

"You did well too" sighed Kozuki as he also patted her on her head and Kurenai immediately behaved like a tamed cat.

Looking at his Daughter and Student that was abducted by Kozuki, Shinku had infinite anger in his heart but could do nothing as he couldn't hurt his students.

Kozuki and other's soon left the forest going back towards the village as they had completed another C-Level Mission.

The next day,

Exercises Field.

"What! Chunin Exam" shouted Kurenai holding the form handed to by her father.

"Yes, I have seen your performance during these six months and I believe you have enough strength to participate in it" said Shinku as he continued "Genin from Sunagakure and Kirigakure will participate as well"

"But isn't there a war at the border" asked Kozuki a bit puzzled as how could at such turbulent times an event like Chunin Exam could be held.

"That's more of a reason to hold it, all the villages need their enemy intelligence and want to learn about there younger generation, naturally we Konoha need to learn of the enemy as well" explained Shinku about the real purpose of Chunin exams.

Kozuki nodded after hearing his words and was a bit looking forward to Genin from other villages.

Kozuki wasn't afraid of anyone since he knew no one could beat him but was a bit curious about whether those he knows from the plot would take the exam or not.

"So, do you want to take the exam?" asked Shinku after he had explained every thing about the Chunin Exam.

"Of course we are, right?" said Kozuki as he looked at both Shizune and Kurenai waiting for there answer.

"As long as there is Kozuki I'm not afraid of anything" said Kurenai overbearingly.

"I'll also fight together with Kozuki" Shizune also said these words as Shinku could only hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart wondering what great deed this kid had done in his previous life to have such luck.

"The exam will start in half a month I'll train you specially in these days, so get ready" said Shinku holding the signed forms as he flashed away.

"Yosh! let's train" Shouted Kurenai as the countdown till Chunin exam began.
