"Since you are a medical ninja, the standards for the Jonin exam will be appropriately lowered."
Kitazawa pondered for a moment and said, "Your Wind Release technique is at least at the level of a Special Jonin. You could certainly try to participate in the Jonin Exams."
He naturally hoped that Kabuto would become a Jonin as soon as possible.
After all, he had a mission to train Jonin students.
The reward for this mission is 20% of the Thousand Hands clan bloodline.
"Then I'll participate."
Kabuto Yakushi said without hesitation.
He was quite confident about passing the Jonin exam.
He was a ninja from Root, and had undergone brutal training since childhood, so the Jonin exam was nothing to him.
"Come on, I'll take you to see the Hokage."
Kitazawa stood up and said with a smile.
He had already accumulated 50% of the Senju clan's bloodline, and with this 20%, that makes 70%.
Kitazawa was eager to see what changes the 70% Senju clan bloodline would bring him.
Kabuto glanced at him, somewhat moved.
Kitazawa truly devoted himself to him.
The two arrived at the Hokage's office.
"Lord Hokage."
Kitazawa stated directly, "My student, Kabuto Yakushi, wants to apply for the Jonin Exams."
"Oh?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously looked at Kabuto Yakushi.
Jonin are the backbone of Konoha Village.
With each additional Jonin, Konoha Village becomes stronger.
"He has indeed reached the level of a Jonin in medical ninjutsu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi recalled Kabuto Yakushi's usual behavior, nodded slightly, and said.
"He also learned Wind Release."
Kitazawa spoke at the opportune moment.
"can."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and said, "Let's go to the nearby training grounds."
The three of them arrived at the training ground again.
"Konoha has relatively few Wind Release Jonin, so I will personally conduct the assessment."
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and said, "Come on, don't be nervous, let me see your strength."
"Kabuto, just show me the ninjutsu you've learned."
Kitazawa reminded him.
"Ah."
Kabuto Yakushi naturally understood Kitazawa's unspoken meaning.
With his strength, he definitely can't beat Hiruzen Sarutobi; he just needs to perform adequately.
Out of respect for Tsunade and Kitazawa, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't make things too difficult for him.
Shadow Clone Technique!
Kabuto Yakushi formed hand seals and created two shadow clones.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood still, making no move, simply watching him quietly.
Wind Release: Shuriken!
Kabuto Yakushi took out a shuriken and threw it.
At the same time, his shadow clone on the left took a step forward and used the Body Flicker Technique to run towards Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
An earthen wall appeared in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although the shuriken was enhanced by the Wind Release technique, it still failed to penetrate the earthen wall.
Almost simultaneously, the shadow clone on the left leaped up, stood on the earthen wall, and looked up to unleash a high-pressure blast.
The wind ball spread out immediately upon appearing and hit Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised.
Kabuto's Wind Release skills have improved much faster than he imagined.
No wonder he was so confident in coming to participate in the Jonin Exams.
But such a Wind Release: Vacuum Great Ball obviously had no effect on him.
He vanished from the spot with a blink of an eye.
Earth Release: Earth Flow River!
When Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared, the ground turned into mud, engulfing Kabuto Yakushi's shadow clones.
With a bang.
Kabuto's shadow clones disappeared.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Yakushi Kabuto formed hand seals, and a powerful tornado shot out, slowing the speed of the mudflow.
Taking this opportunity, he quickly moved away.
Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!
The chakra accumulated in Yakushi Kabuto's mouth transformed into a high-speed, bullet-shaped vortex.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not dodge.
Because another shadow clone of Kabuto Yakushi had somehow gotten behind him.
Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!
The shadow clone gripped the kunai and slashed out.
Hiruzen Sarutobi tilted his head, turned around, and grabbed his wrist.
Just then, a series of gusts of wind approached.
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned into soil.
The gusts of wind pierced through the soil and struck the shadow clones.
Smoke reappeared, and Kabuto's shadow clone vanished into thin air amidst the swirling wind.
Where?
Yakushi Kabuto quickly looked around.
But the next second, a fist appeared in front of him.
Kabuto instinctively raised his arms to block.
A tremendous force surged forth, sending him flying backward.
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a soft "hmm".
His punch did not achieve the result he expected.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze fell upon Kabuto Yakushi's arms, and he asked.
"The Yin heals and destroys."
Kabuto Yakushi got up, shook his arms, and replied.
"A very good ninjutsu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately recognized its effect.
By predicting the enemy's attack location, one can pre-position chakra to mitigate some of the damage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat curious.
How did Kabuto guess that he would attack his arms from the front?
Was it a fluke?
"Congratulations, you have passed the Jonin Exams."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "That's enough for now. You can go to the Anbu to get your Jonin badge."
Although he held back, Kabuto Yakushi's strength was indeed considerable.
Furthermore, he is a rare medical ninja, so making him a Jonin is in accordance with the rules.
"Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, Kitazawa looked at the three lines of text in front of him and was overjoyed.
[Current Mission: Bring out the first Jonin.]
[Task Reward: 20% Thousand Hands Bloodline.]
[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]
Kitazawa stood still, sensing the changes within his body.
The most obvious change is the increase in the maximum chakra limit, which is about two-fifths of a chakra.
In addition, there is the improvement in physical strength.
[Currently, the Senju clan bloodline has reached 70%, unlocking the special ability, Senju Chakra Mode.]
[Thousand Hands Chakra Mode: When activated, it increases recovery and self-healing abilities, improves chakra circulation efficiency, and enhances power output.]
Kitazawa stared blankly at the changes in the text before him.
Is this a case of quantitative change leading to qualitative change?
He finally received the unique ability of the Senju clan's bloodline.
However, the description of the Thousand Hands Chakra Mode is rather general; he will have to test it himself to know the specifics.
Chapter 229 Thousand Hands Chakra Mode
After receiving their Jonin vests, Kitazawa and Kabuto left the Hokage Building.
Becoming a Jonin is not as simple as just receiving the Jonin title, but the Hidden Leaf Village will take care of the rest; they don't need to worry about it.
For example, changing ninja files and announcing to the whole village that a new Jonin has been born.
"Kabuto, are you planning to stay with our team, or lead a team on your own?"
Kitazawa stopped and asked.
Once you reach the Jonin level, you don't need a team leader, because any Jonin can be a team leader.
Furthermore, it would be a waste to put two Jonin in one ninja squad.
Fortunately, Konoha Village did not have a mandatory rule requiring it to be split up.
Just like Kakashi Hatake becoming a Jonin still followed Minato Namikaze.
"I'll stay."
