Chapter 38 Orochimaru
After Akiga Shun's battle with Kakashi ended, the award ceremony did not begin immediately.
After all, Kakashi was hit hard by Shun Akihito's punches, and anyone could see that Kakashi needed treatment. No matter how important the award ceremony was, the injured had to be taken into consideration.
After Akira helped Kakashi out of the arena, Kakashi was taken away by several medical ninjas from Konoha for treatment.
"You really are quite unexpected."
Tsunade leaned against the wall, a slight smile on her face as she looked at Shun Akihi.
"Really? I don't think it's surprising that I won the championship."
Autumn waved goodbye.
"That's not what I meant. Anyway, congratulations on winning the championship!" Tsunade said, giving Shun Akihime a thumbs-up.
Afterwards, Shun Akihime followed Tsunade away from the Chunin Exams venue.
In fact, when Akira Shun drew the Ice Release and obtained [White], he had already thought about how to explain its origin.
Unfortunately, his preparations were in vain.
After meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, they didn't mention this matter at all.
He only praised Akihi Shun's performance, without mentioning anything about Ice Release.
Only when he was leaving did Hiruzen Sarutobi pat Shun Akihime on the shoulder and say earnestly, "Child, don't be timid. Unleash your bloodline limit to the fullest. Remember, Konoha will always be your strongest support."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze, and even Tsunade behind him all looked at Shun Akihime and gave him an encouraging look.
Huh? Am I being timid and hesitant?
Akira scratched his head in confusion, but still agreed verbally.
"I've always believed in Konoha, and I'll definitely unleash my bloodline limit to the fullest from now on!"
Upon hearing Akihi Shun's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction and gently patted Akihi Shun on the shoulder.
"Go on, Kakashi should be healed by now, and the award ceremony should be starting soon. Enjoy the cheers that belong to the champion!"
At 5:00 PM sharp, the awards ceremony for the Chunin Exams officially began.
When Akira Shun stood on the podium as the champion, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
His performance was well-deserved; he dominated the entire competition to advance, and in the finals, he put on a spectacular display of ninjutsu offense and defense against Kakashi, culminating in a stunning Ice Release attack that captivated the entire audience.
From this moment on, Shun Akihito's name is no longer limited to "Konoha Genius"!
"Congratulations, Akihime Shun. From this day forward, you are a Chunin of Konoha Village."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi personally presented the award, and Shun Akihito reached out to accept the Chunin certificate.
The ranking system has finally changed!
【Name: Akihi Shun】
[Ninjas: Kakashi Hatake (young), Haku, Nono Yakushi, Itachi Uchiha (rising ninja), Hayate Gekko, Naruto Uzumaki (ninja trainee), Genma Shiranui, Sakura Haruno, Konohamaru's army]
[Summoning Beast: None]
[Secret Scrolls: Earth Release: Rock Fall (LV2), Water Release: Water Shield (LV1), Forbidden Technique: Yin Healing and Destruction (LV1)]
[Artifact: None]
【Rank: Chunin (3200)】
Gold Coins: 2324
Upon seeing his rank increase, Qiri Shun immediately claimed his minimum reward, and just as he expected, he received 3200 gold coins!
5524 gold coins!
There are 34 draws in total, enough for 3 ten-pulls!
Autumn Shun looked around at the lively scene, the champion's platform beneath his feet, the Third Hokage in front of him, and the Third Kazekage not far away.
This place is truly a blessed land.
Shouldn't we hold a prize draw?
Let's go!
[Summoning Beast]
【Shukaku Fragment x1 (3/100)】
[Secret Scroll]
[Water Release: Water Shield Fragment x3 (3/10)]
[Lightning Release: Earth Walk Fragment x1 (4/5)]
【...】
[S-rank Ninja]
[Otsutsuki Toneri (Final Chapter) Fragments x4 (8/100)]
[A-rank Ninja]
【Sakura Haruno Fragment x4 (12/40)】
[B-rank Ninja]
Orochimaru (Legendary Sannin of Konoha) Fragments x16 (40/40)
【Kushina Uzumaki (Winter Limited) Fragment x4 (4/40)】
【C-rank Ninja】
【Uchiha Madara (Young) Fragment x2 (2/10)】
[Senju Tobirama (Young) Fragment x1 (1/10)]
【...】
Sure enough, this place was quite lucky.
Not only did I get a summoning beast equivalent to an S-rank ninja, but I also got quite a few B-rank ninja fragments, so I didn't completely rely on the pity system.
only......
Why is it that I only have 4 pieces left for Kimimaro and haven't gotten him once in 30 pulls, but I got Orochimaru (one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha) 4 times?
What's the principle behind this?
There's not much to say about the C-rank ninjas. After [Uchiha Madara (Young)] was released, [Senju Tobirama (Young)] followed suit, but unfortunately, neither of them released a full card.
However, if I had to choose between these two cards, Akiga Shun is most looking forward to [Uchiha Madara (Young)], not for any other reason than that he has the Sharingan!
After sorting out his spoils, Akihito Shun immediately synthesized [Orochimaru (Konoha's Legendary Sannin)].
Now, including [Haku] and [Kakashi Hatake (young)], he already has three B-rank ninjas!
Seeing the barely suppressed smile on Shun Akihito's lips, Hiruzen Sarutobi assumed that Shun Akihito was happy because of the award ceremony.
The awards ceremony didn't take long and ended quickly.
Throughout the entire awards ceremony, besides Shun Akihito, the other two who received the loudest cheers were Kakashi and Garura.
Although these two lost, their fighting performance was witnessed by everyone present.
It's no exaggeration to say that if these three were placed separately in any of the ordinary Chunin Exams in the past, they would undoubtedly become the champions with overwhelming force.
Karura was just unlucky; he ran into Shun Akihito and Kakashi during the Chunin Exams, which is why he was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
The Chunin Exams have come to a perfect end.
The people of Konoha Village were preparing to leave. They had come here for the Chunin Exams, and now that the exams were over, it was time for them to go.
After all, Konoha Village has such a good environment, they have no reason to stay here and eat sand.
And so, amidst the cheerful but inwardly reluctant farewells of the Sunagakure villagers, the Konoha members departed Sunagakure.
On the way back to the village, Jiraiya would occasionally pull Akatsuki aside to discuss the content of the book.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't hear what the two were saying, he was always pleased to see them gathering together in private to discuss things.
He possesses literary talent, a strong will to fire, and exceptional ninja skills.
Simply perfect!
That night, Jiraiya called Akira Shun aside again and asked him about the subject matter.
"Akihi Shun-sensei, do you have any recommendations for genres?"
If other ninjas saw this, they would find it hard to imagine that Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin, would show such a humble and eager-to-learn expression to a student.
"Hmm, a small horse pulling a big cart," Akira Shun replied casually.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Jiraiya decided to listen attentively, and each time he asked Shun Akihime for advice, he learned a lot of new knowledge.
"Well, it means..."
As Akatsuki Shun explained, Jiraiya nodded repeatedly, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"I see! Akigashi Shun-sensei is indeed very knowledgeable!"
