"Senior, can you hand in the paper in advance if you finish it?" Kakashi asked the examiner after checking his paper completely.

Although he had to wait for Obito to finish before going out, he wanted to be free after all, so Kakashi decided to hand in the paper in advance.

"It's so fast, no need to check again?" The examiner was a little surprised and walked to Kakashi's side and looked at Kakashi's test paper.

The examiner was even more surprised when he saw that Kakashi answered several questions he was familiar with on point and very well.

As an experienced examiner, he knew very well that the biggest obstacle for young geniuses to become jounin was never their strength, but the written examination.

Because being strong does not necessarily mean you can learn well in theory. If Konoha didn't have a mechanism to promote jonin outside of jounin inspections, he believes that the current jounin in Konoha would be one-third less, or maybe even more.

"Your Jonin exam is over. You can leave directly, or you can wait outside for the exam to end." The examiner put away Kakashi's test paper and said.

Kakashi nodded and walked out of the examination room to wait outside. Based on Kakashi's understanding of Obito, he should wait until the end of the examination.

Although Obito doesn't know much, he won't give up. Even if he can't do it, he will try until the end of time.

The final result was as Kakashi expected. He didn't see Obito walking out of the examination room until the end of the examination time.

However, Hinata Aoba and Sakata Genji also handed in their papers last, and Kakashi who turned in his papers early was an outlier.

Obito walked out of the examination room with his head drooped and seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Damn it, if you fail the exam, Xiaolin's ninja level will be higher than mine." Obito suddenly thought.

According to the notice issued, Nohara Rin did not need to take the exam and was directly promoted to special jounin.

If Obito passes the exam and becomes an official Jonin, then he will be one level higher than Nohara Rin. If he fails, then his ninja level will be lower than Nohara Rin in the future.

Obito thought about it more deeply and discovered an even more terrifying thing. If Kakashi passed the exam, then he would be the only chuunin in the Mugetsu class or the Minato class.

Obito could already imagine what Kakashi would look like at that time.

"There is a loser in the team who has not become a Jonin. I won't tell you who the loser is." Kakashi said with a sinister look on his face.

"Hatake brat, who is born evil, when I become stronger, I will definitely kill you..." Obito's blood pressure rose just by imagining it, and his Sharingan felt like it was about to come out.

Kakashi frowned slightly as he watched Obito walk over in a daze, with expressions that alternated between indignation and ecstasy. He had a feeling that Obito was thinking of something bad.

"The exam is over, are you still thinking about those questions?" Kakashi interrupted Obito's thoughts.

Obito showed a look of regret. In his imagination, he had already fast-forwarded to the point where he had mastered the breath of fire to the extreme and surpassed Mu Yue. He was about to beat Kakashi when he was interrupted.

"How did you do in the exam? Do you think you can pass?" Obito asked after thinking for a while.

Although Kakashi has never failed a written test in his memory, this is a Jonin test, which involves a wide range of knowledge and the questions are difficult, so Kakashi may fail.

"It's okay, I should be able to pass." Kakashi nodded calmly and replied.

During the time he was hospitalized, Kakashi basically read various books all the time. In addition, he already has a good amount of knowledge, which can be said to be more than enough to cope with the Jonin exam.

"Haha, Kakashi, you really don't know how to be humble." Hearing Kakashi's confidence, Obito felt a little sour.

"After all, the difficulty of the test paper is average, so there shouldn't be anyone who can't pass it," Kakashi said with a hint.

Harder, harder, Obito's fist became harder.

Although not a single word of his name appeared in Kakashi's words, Obito felt that Kakashi was almost naming him.

"You're so powerful, then tell me how you did the test paper." Obito asked with the intention of punching Kakashi in the face.

You have to be angry, but you have to answer the question first.

Although he thinks Kakashi is too stinky, Obito still recognizes Kakashi's ability in the written test, and he must be more correct than him.

"The first question is like this and then..." Kakashi didn't hide anything and told all his answers and ideas for solving the questions.

The wrong answer was fine, but the answer made Obito feel even worse, because his and Kakashi's answers to many questions were different.

There are three outcomes in total, the first is that Kakashi is right and he is wrong, the second is that he is wrong with Kakashi, and the third is that they are both wrong.

Obito hoped in his heart that it would be the second outcome, but his brain that could still think told him that the first outcome was more likely.

After the examiners left, the examiner immediately started correcting the papers.

"Today's geniuses really can't be underestimated. They can be said to be both civilized and military." The examiner in charge of Kakashi couldn't help but sigh.

It was hard for him to imagine how a ten-year-old child could balance cultivation and learning theory.

"That's not entirely true. Uchiha Obito shouldn't be able to be promoted. He is a complete mess on subjects other than history." The examiner who invigilated Obito said with a smile.

The examiner who finished grading Kakashi raised his head and glanced curiously, "If the written test is only of this level, I feel that I may be promoted to Jonin based on my military merits before completing the make-up test."

In peacetime, it is difficult to become a jounin without passing the jounin examination, but in wartime, the situation is special and special measures are taken. If you have enough military exploits, you can be directly promoted to jounin.

After the written examination papers were marked, the examiners sent all the materials to the Hokage Office in the Hokage Building, and Hiruzen Sarutobi personally decided the results of the examination.

After seeing Kakashi's information, Sarutobi Hiruzen stroked his goatee with a happy smile on his face.

He had seen Kakashi's potential before, so he approached Minato Mugetsu for help when Kakashi was confused and sinking.

Kakashi's achievements today also prove his vision. Although he is only ten years old, Kakashi has surpassed many ninjas and is enough to be called outstanding.

After nodding to confirm his vision, Sarutobi Hiruzen signed and sealed Kakashi's promotion document.

"Obito, this kid lacks too much in terms of theory." Seeing Obito's test paper, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head. This grade designation cannot be given.

"But his character is a good thing for an Uchiha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen would rather have more innocent Uchiha like Obito, so that the conflicts between Uchiha and Konoha would be much less.

After denying Obito, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hinata Aoba and Sakata Genji.

After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to drop Genji Sakata and then signed Hyuga Aoba's promotion list.

In fact, to be honest, Hyuga Aoba's strength is a bit worse than Sakata Genji, but Hyuga Aoba's strength plays a strategic role in Byakugan, so some requirements can be lowered to a certain extent.

After completing his work, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not immediately order the ninja to notify the results. It was almost time to get off work, so it would be better to inform him tomorrow morning.

Before getting off work, Sarutobi Hiruzen remembered something and found out the information about Metkai in the ninja school.

"Kay's grades are also very bad." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and puffed out white mist while looking at the summary of Metkay's ninja school career results in his hand.

Before the fourth grade, Metkai couldn't be described as terrible. He was a complete idiot. After the fourth grade, his grades improved a lot because of Mu Yue's tutoring, but he could only pass without worry.

The written test of the Jonin Examination is not as kind as that of the Ninja School. The written test of the Ninja School only needs to reach half of the average score to pass, while the written test of the Jonin Examination must reach more than 80% of the total score to be considered qualified.

"Should we lower the difficulty level with Kai?" Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into thought.

If the difficulty remains the same, it is impossible for Metkai to pass the Jonin examination because his theory is as bad as Obito.

The reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks about such a problem is not because he likes Metkai, but because Metkai has made greater contributions.

There are differences in the contributions of different ninjas to the same mission. The person who made the greatest contribution in this encounter was undoubtedly Mu Yue, who killed Minazuki Han, the four Ninja Seven, and the Kirigakure ninjas.

The second is Metkai. Without Metkai's explosive Kakashi, they would not be able to repel the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and they would not be able to survive Mu Yue's arrival.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already let go of Metkai to a certain extent. If he hadn't done a great job, Metkai wouldn't have been qualified to participate in the jounin inspection with his partial attitude.

Metkai's main disadvantage was his age. If Metkai was over fourteen years old, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have been directly promoted to Jonin. Ten years old is too young.

Unless the record is too amazing, like Mu Yue's, age will still have a certain impact.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to make the decision based on Metkai's performance. All jounin were qualified to lead the team to carry out important tasks. It was not enough if they didn't know anything.

The next morning, Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the ninja to send out the notice.

Those who are successfully promoted need to go to the Hokage's office to receive a new ninja certificate, while those who fail the exam will only receive a notification.

"Uchiha Obito, after investigation, it was found that your strength is excellent but your theory is lacking, and you are currently not qualified to be promoted to Jonin." The informing ninja said to Obito.

Although he had expected it, Obito couldn't help but feel disappointed when he actually heard about the failure.

A jounin is an outstanding ninja in the eyes of ordinary people. He wants his grandma to be proud to tell other Uchihas that her grandson is already outstanding at the age of ten.

"You will still have the opportunity to study hard. You can apply for a make-up exam every year for the next eight years. If you pass, you will become an official jounin." The informing ninja reminded.

The Jonin Examination itself is a screening. People who have no chance to become a Jonin will not have the opportunity to be a Jonin Examiner.

Of course, Konoha, the ninjas selected through such strict screening, will not give up easily. They will give them many opportunities to retake the exams, and they can become official jounin if they pass.

"Once a year." Obito scratched his hair and felt that the interval was too long. He was only ten years old now, and one year was already one-tenth of his life.

"Let's go see Teacher Mugetsu before the next exam." Obito felt that it was better to believe in the almighty Mugetsu Sennin than to believe in his own learning ability.

"Did Kakashi pass?" Obito couldn't help but ask.

It's a pity that I failed, but my brother's success is even more maddening.

"I don't know about this. I am only responsible for informing you." The informing ninja shook his head and replied.

Obito was a little disappointed. The answer he wanted to hear most was that Kakashi failed like him.

Obito felt uncomfortable at the thought that Kakashi might become a Jonin first. Based on his understanding of Kakashi, Kakashi would definitely use his ninja level as an excuse to order him.

In order to get the latest news, Obito chose to rush to Kakashi's house to ask for clarification.

"Kakashi, are you at home?" Obito used concentrated breathing to strengthen his body and rushed to the door of Kakashi's house and shouted.

Obito knocked on the door a few more times, but still no one responded.

Obito's heart sank, "It's broken, he can't really pass, is he in the Hokage Building?"

Just as Obito thought, Kakashi was completing the promotion procedures in the Hokage's office in the Hokage Building.
